I started walking down the stairs minutes after Lawliet's footsteps were gone. I started walking to the surveillance room to find Watari. When I entered I saw Rem standing there with her notebook open. Her pen was in her hand and Watari was looking at her with fear in her eyes. His hand was hovering over the button to delete all the information from the system.

   ' This was Light's plan. To kill Watari and then Lawliet. '

   " Stop! "

I ran in front of Watari and he hugged me from behind. I starred up at Rem and she looked down at me. Her eyes were red with anger. Mine was still spilling with tears.

   " Rem, please. Please don't do this. "

   " And why shouldn't I human? "

   " Look, I know you want to protect Misa from light and to keep her safe because you love her...but, please. I have people I need to protect. People I need to save. Misa is one of those people! Watari, Lawliet, Mr. Yagami, Matsuda, everyone down in the lobby don't deserve this. They don't-can't die! "

Rem just stared at me as I continued to cry and Watari continued to hold me from behind. I held my hands back like I was Watari's shield.

   " You can't kill them. "

   " And why is that? You are only a stranger to me. "

   " I'm not. You know Misa considers me her best friend. You know she didn't like me in the beginning but after some time she saw me as her best friend. If you kill Watari and Lawliet then I'll be sad and Misa will feel pain for me because she's that type of person. If anything kill me with them! "

   " Y/n, no! " Watari shouted

   " Why would you want that human? "

   " I love Watari and Lawliet both. I was in this investigation since the beginning! If anything it's only right that if they die I go with them! "

   " But Misa will be even more upset if you were to die and Light I'm sure would not be very happy about your death. "

   " I know. "

   " Then you know it's not an option to kill you. "

   " Make it an option. "

   " I can't do that. "

She raised up her Death note and her pen getting ready to write.

   " Wait! What if we made a deal? "

   " A deal? "

   " Yes, I know you like me more than you do Light. After these past couple of days talking to you, you like me more than him right? "

   " Yes. "

   " What if instead of killing Lawliet and Watari we fake their deaths. I'm sorry to say you'll still die because you're doing it for Misa, but what if we did that? "

   " What would happen to Misa? "

   " I would make sure she's happy. She can be with Light because that's what makes her happy. Light will never know that you didn't kill them. "

   " How? My Death note will show their names once I die and he will surely look at it. "

   " We can replace it with a piece of paper and pretend like it's the actual paper from the death note. Write two random names. One that starts with an L and the other that ends with Watari."

Rem lowered her book and started thinking about it. I still stood in front of Watari like a shield and he still held on to me like he was going to push me away from Rem. Rem finally looked up and closed her Death note.

   " Alright. I agree with this plan. I trust you will keep Misa happy? "

   " I will, I swear I will. "

   " Good. "

   " Watari can you please get two criminals from the local prison quick. Two who are sentenced to death. quickly and have them transported over here quickly. Along with a make-up artist? "

   " Yes, madam. "

He made a call and I pulled my own phone out and called Lawliet.

   " Hello? "

   " Lawliet come to the surveillance room now! "

   " Is there something going o-"

I hung up as soon as Watari said the police were here with the two convicts and a makeup artist. They were all brought to the surveillance room and Lawliet got there at the same time.

   " What is going on in here? " he asked.

   " Make one of them look like him and one look like this old gentleman please and be quick. "

   " Yes, ma'am. "

The artist started getting to work on it quickly. I looked at Watari and asked him another favor.

   " Can you grab some of your clothes with Ryuzaki's to fit these two and quickly? "

   " Of course. "

Watari ran off to find the clothes and I stood by Rem who's Death note was closed and her pen was lying flat on top of the dark brooding book.

   " Y/n what is going on? " Lawliet said asking me.

   " I'm saving you Ryuzaki. "

   " What? "

   " I got here just in time before Rem killed Watari and we made a deal. "

   " What kind of deal? "

   " We agreed that I wouldn't kill you and Watari if she makes sure Misa is happy. " Rem said stepping in.

   " That's right. I told her it's either kill me with you two or we make the deal and she chose the better option. "

   " Y/n you put your life on the line. "

   " I have since the beginning of this investigation. I'm willing to do it again. These two convicts were scheduled to die in three days so they will take your place in the lobby and in here with Watari. So when they search around they will find both of your bodies dead. "

   " But it's just makeup. It'll wear off. "

   " No, it won't. I need you to write a message saying that you already called for someone to come get your bodies to take them away. Then four people will show up and drag your bodies out of the building. Before the makeup comes off and the artist is gluing on a wig to both of them so it won't fall off. "

   " Here are the clothes. "

   " Thank you, Watari. You two go change quickly. "

They did as I asked and changed quickly. They ran back inside and I said goodbye to the makeup artist who left.

   " You with the uniform sit in that chair and watch the cameras. You with the black wig go downstairs in a bad posture with your back hunched over a bit and with your hands in your pockets. Don't make any expression. One that's tired maybe. Don't say a word. When you sit down sit in a crouched position."

They both nodded to me and started walking to their positions.

   " Where will we go? " Lawliet asked me.

   " You said there was a floor below the building. Well, I explored it and found a secret hideaway down there. You two will stay down there. "

   " For how long? "

   " Until this investigation is over with. At night, once a week, I'll come to bring you guys supplies to live off of. You can continue your investigation down there with this. "

I held up a flash drive. I stuck it into the tower under the desk and started downloading all the information on it. I took it out and handed it to Lawliet.

   " Now you have all the information on it along with the security camera footage so you can hear what we discuss in the building. You can continue this investigation with your successor or successors helping you. "

I stood in front of both of them as I finished my explanation. I handed a sheet of paper to Rem and she wrote Watari's and Lawliet's fake names on the paper. She tucked it into the Death note like all the other papers were.

   " Rem write these two criminals names with the others. "

   " Alright, I will. "

   " Thank you, Rem. "

I felt a hug from behind me. It was Lawliet hugging me.

   " Y/n you...you found another option."

   " Yes, like I said we are finishing this together or not at all. I'm not letting you go that easily Lawliet. "

I walked away from him and towards Watari.

   " Watari when this man dies you need to push the buttons or button you need to delete all the information from the systems. When you do that you both have to run away from here and do what you can to make it to the secret room below. Don't let anyone see you. "

   " We will do our best. " He said bowing.

   " Y/n..."

   " Lawliet we can discuss this later when I visit you tonight. "

   " But what if this doesn't work? "

   " I have surpassed you 'L' the great detective. After everything you have been through and after everything I have been through I can promise you will make it through this and live. The same goes for you Watari. Since I have surpassed you I am confident and 100% positive this plan will not fail if we do this right. Everything is set up and ready to go. I am 100% sure this will work. Since I have surpassed you the greatest detective alive then I think it's right to assume it's going to work. "

He starred at me for a moment and then nodded his head. The sadness and unreadable expression was now gone from his face. I turned back to Rem and looked at her.

   " I would hug you but I don't think I can touch you. "

   " It's alright. "

   " Thank you, Rem. I promise Misa will be happy. "

   " I trust you human. "

I smiled at her and waved. She smiled at me and waved me off. I turned to go out the door when my wrist was grabbed. I turned around to see Lawliet standing there.

   " Y/n..."

   " Yes, Lawliet? "

His expression was calm. Yet, his face went back to being the same face I saw every day. He leaned forward and kissed my forehead.

   " Do your best acting while you're down there. "

   " I will. "

I then left the room and started making my way to the lobby. Ready for my plan to be in action.

   ' Looks like I didn't have to defeat a shinigami but to make a deal with one. '
