"Hello?" Watari sagte into the phone in the hotel room. "Yes, this is Watari. Ah, I see. I understand.
Goodbye."
"Who was that, Watari?" L mumbled inbetween bites of his cookie. "That was just an old friend back at Wammy's, calling to say they want Du to meet Near."
L paused for a moment to think, he had never thought of actually meeting his successor.
"Why do they want me to meet Near?" L said, somewhat nervously. "They say, Near demanded it." Watari replied. L thought, he must be stubborn, just like me. "When do they want me to come to meet him?" L said. "Whenever Du think Du want to."
"Let's go tomorrow then, shall we?"
