Date with a Detective
Aug. 30th, 2022 01:34 pmValentine's Day was tomorrow. The fact that Light had no interest in observing this holiday let alone with his girlfriend was irrelevant. Misa became so tiresome if she didn't feel Light was paying her apt attention. If he didn't plan some date for February 14th, she would ensure that her vexation was keenly felt. What Light required was an alibi and a scapegoat. Ideally, L would provide him with both.
He wasn't so optimistic or naive as to believe Misa would be placated by the excuse of work. Still, even if she protested, sulked, and pouted she had to understand that Kira took precedence to Light. His future was dependent on the developments of the Kira case. If he explained it well enough, appeared appropriately apologetic, and promised to make it up to her later (with any luck next year) he should be able to assuage her wrath and sense of indignation.
Light sent a simple and concise text message to L. "I would like to review every aspect of the Kira case with you tomorrow." He didn't need to make idle promises about discovering some false lead. There had been no developments of note as of late. Obtaining a fresh perspective every now and again was healthy. And L would likely jump at any opportunity to further scrutinize his main suspect. Since Light hadn't inquired about a time he hoped that L's inevitable acceptance would be vague. He could forward it to Misa and elucidate that he would regrettably be tied up for the entirety of the holiday.
