Snippet #1629706

One week later...



His Shinigami's 'job' had been to gather information on every single fatality caused of cardiac arrest within Japan. Why Japan? Because it was the most logical choice. His notebook had fallen here after all, so it wouldn't be far off to guess that the second one would fall in the same place. Japan wasn't as large as other countries, that said, it still wouldn't be an easy task to start a manhunt single-handedly. Before him, on his desk, Zak had a small stack of papers. These papers contained a list of all reported cardiac arrest related fatalities from the last month up till now. It was a lot smaller than he expected.

"Hah...very good Shidou. Here." Zak slid open a compartment of his desk. Inside there was a shiny new candy bar. Smirking he tossed it to the portly shinigami who immediately devoured it in his wretched manner. It was disgusting to watch. "Now leave me, I need to get this done." He shooed the thing away and quickly delved into his papers. There was something very specific he was looking for: a death where the patient had absolutely none, or very little history of heart related problems. Whoever possessed the Death Note would most likely use a heart attack to kill their first victim; they would have no knowledge of the fact that they could use it to create other causes of death. And, there was a very good chance that said heart attack would be very random for the victim the user chose.

"This won't tell me who you are...but it will at least tell me where you're at..." If the victim was in Japan there was a very good chance the user was here as well. It would be safe to assume that whoever was in possession of the book would want to do a killing that they themselves could clearly see the repercussions of, but that the entire world wouldn't. Someone local, a bully at school, a jerky co-worker, maybe even someone they've seen on the local news. Certainly not a big name...

"Hmm...." Again and again, Zak shuffled the papers. But none of the names and descriptions matched the criteria...no-wait. "Amagi?" The name John Doe was underneath his index finger. Shidou couldn't get information on this one but it was the only name on the list that he couldn't clearly mark off as a non-candidate. This John Doe was most likely involved in a police investigation, it was natural that they wouldn't release much information. "But why would a heart attack victim be involved in an investigation..." 'Odin' licked his lips.

"Looks like it's time to pay Logan a visit..." Zak reached for the skull that sat at the edge of his desk. "I'll have one of my men give him a call...."
