"(Y/n) putting those trackers in the cake is the best idea you've ever had" L praised.

"Looks like my paranoia was into something" you replied.

With a bag full of brand new antidote shots on his shoulder, L sat beside you in the back seat of the getaway creape truck driven by Suruga. Boy was left with Watari back at the original wammys hideout where all this began so he wouldn't have to be involved in such a stressful situation. Before you'd left, you, L, Watari and Suruga were injected with a dose of the antidote as a vaccine. You wouldn't catch this virus.

Suruga watched the pinging dot on the screen get closer as Makis location was being tracked. Following it down the winding roads of Tokyo.

"Uhh guys..." he said.

"Yeah?" You replied.

"This says she's in an airport runway?"

"WHAT-"

"Airport runway? Damnit Kujo must have her in a plane to escape with her. What runway is it?" L asked, grabbing his laptop connected to pocket wifi in the back seat.

"Looks like runway seven" Suruga answered.

L looked up the flights in the area, trying to figure out which one Maki was on. Sifting through the data on all planes currently stationed at the airport, he found there were two due to take off from that runway. One had already left that morning for Europe, the other was headed for Thailand due to leave in 15 minutes.

"Shit- they're trying to take her back to one of their base sun Thailand. The plane leaves in 15 minutes" L said.

"15 minutes? We'll never make it!" You panicked.

L thought for a moment, conjuring up a plan. The only thing he could think of was a risk, but it was the only way to make sure you got her back before the virus kicked in.

"Suruga" he said.

"Yeah?"

"We've gotta drive onto the runway. Jump into the plane before it takes off and we have no choice but to confront Kujo right then and there"

At this exact moment on said plane, Maki was beginning to worry. Behind the curtain where she lay half unconscious, she was starting to feel sicker. Mustering up all her energy, she sat up and rubbed her eyes. Looking around she found herself in one of the main areas of the plane, hidden by curtains with a bandage around her head and bandaid in her neck where she was jabbed. She felt nauseous, hot and her throat was sore. Looking down at herself, she was dressed in her red summer dress she was kidnapped in, and her shoes had been taken off.

That's when she noticed it... a rash on her leg. That's why she felt so sick, the virus was finally starting to kick in. And if she was showing symptoms, that means this whole plane would be infected in a matter of minutes...

She could hear Kujos voice outside the curtains, if Kujo had touched her to get her here that means she'd be getting the symptoms and second now.

This was bad. She was scared.

"We apologise for the inconvenience, but our take off will be delayed as there's an unknown vehicle on the runway" the captains voice could be heard over the loudspeaker, much to the annoyance of the passengers.

Maki perked up, peeking out from behind the curtain she saw Kujo looking out the open boarding door before rushing to the captains cockpit. Struggling, Maki got up tearing down the curtains and weakly stumbling toward the door. Sure enough in the distance she could see that familiar pink truck.

She knew you'd come for her.

"Miss you shouldn't be walking around when you're injured" a voice said, she turned to see a passenger simply trying to help her under the impression she was here to be transferred to hospital like Kujo said.

When the lady grabbed Makis arm to help her up, she pushed it away.

"No! You'll get sick..." Maki said.

The engine of the plane started up, and she was thoroughly confused. Didn't the captain say there'd be a delay? Wait, Kujo was probably threatening them because she knew you and L were on the way. At the worst possible timing, a passenger noticed Makis rash spreading rapidly, and quickly noticed the same one starting to appear on their own hands. The dots, they connected.

"ITS HER! ITS THE INFECTED GIRL!" They exclaimed.

This wasn't good, Maki tried to scramble for the open door but the yelling had alterted Kujo who was coming right for her.

With a plane starting to move, a whole cabin on now panicked infected passengers, you and L couldn't come fast enough.

"Why is the engine on? It's not meant to leave yet!" You asked, looking out the window as the truck approached the plane.

"It's Kujo, she's trying to escape us. We're going to have to go now or it'll start moving before we can get there" L replied.

Opening the sliding door to the van, he told Suruga to get as close as possible.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Let's get her back" you replied.

Leaping from the moving van, you and L booked it for the boarding stairs scrambling up them just as the plane began to move, you managed to make it in almost tripping as the stairs detached from the door. 

"(Y/N)!" Maki yelled for you.

The stairs rocked when they were detached, making L grab onto the sides almost falling off.

"YOU HAVE TO JUMP!" You yelled.

The gap between the stairs getting bigger, L leapt off them, grabbing onto the edge of the doorway of a now moving plane, you grabbed his arms and pulled him into the cabin. When you both got up and turned to see what was happening, you were met with a scene from a horror movie.

That virus was powerful and spread like wildfire, the whole cabin already infected and panicking with rashes forming all over their bodies.

Kujo stood before you, holding a handgun to Makis head.

"Let her go Kujo. You've already lost! We have the antidote, you're infected and the police are on the way as we speak. It's over" you said.

"Give me that bag or she gets a bullet in her head" Kujo spat.

Maki longingly stared at you and L with tears running down her cheeks. She looked so sick you were surprised she could stand.

"What happened Kujo... how did you get this twisted?" L began.

"Shut up and give me-" She tried to snarl.

"-you think I didn't look into you as soon as this case was bought it my attention? You think I wasn't suspicious you found us at our hideout? You had connections to wammys, don't try and hide it"

Kujo fell silent, as did you. You didn't know this, but L wasn't one to keep a secret from you. He must have only found this out recently himself then...

"To think you'd be in association with us and stray down a path this vile is despicable. We all lost something or someone, but we grew from it, you're dwelling in the past and letting that trauma turn you into a monster"

"Shut up..." Kujo said.

"You think we didn't loose our parents too? You chose this path, you took a child's parents from her. You're repeating the cycle of trauma. And for what? We all know you're not doing this for the planet like blue ship says they are. You're doing it for power, to feel a sense of control. You could have done great thinks Kujo, you did this to yourself"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" Kujo yelled, turning to him from maki to L.

But before she could shoot it, the plane suddenly tilted, causing everyone who wasn't seated to fall over. You and L fell into each other, Kujo fell and dropped the gun, and Maki fell out of her arms.

You could see through the open boarding door that the plane was turning, and heading right for the airport.

"ITS GONNA CRASH INTO THE AIRPORT!" You exclaimed at L, he gave you the bag of antidote shots and immediately scrambled up and ran up the isle to get into the captains cockpit.

He could fly a helicopter, surely he could stop a plane right. You grabbed the gun Kujo had dropped and tossed it out the open door so she couldn't harm anyone. Maki took the chance to scramble over to you and leapt into your arms in relief. You fumbled around in the bag for a shot.

"I'm sorry this might hurt but it'll stop the virus" you said.

She didn't protest and let you jab the needle into her arm and release the antidote into her. By now the symptoms had set in, so she's still be sick. But she wouldn't die, and she could heal from it now.

You looked around the plane, spotting an infected flight attendant watching from one of the seats. You rushed up to her and took out a needle.

"It's an antidote. I'll give you the shot then I need you to take the bag and start giving them to passengers. We're here to save the child and stop the spread. Trust me" you explained.

She seemed in shock from the whole situation, but complied, letting you inject her and took the bag from you to follow your instructions.

You turned to go back to maki but was stopped by the sudden screeching halt of the plane knocking everyone off their feet again and the sounds of the glass window of the airport breaking when the nose of the plane hit it. L had done it, he's stopped the plane. Looking down the isle into the cockpit you noticed both captains bleeding out on the floor, Kujo having shot them intending to fly the plane herself to get away before you jumped on. That plan of hers didn't exactly work out did it.

L stood in the doorway of the cockpit in relief, making eye contact with you. He smiled, glad he managed to stop the plane. You smiled back, proud of him.

The brief happy moment was cut short, by the sounds of Makis hysterical voice.

"YOU MONTER! YOU KILLED MY DAD AND THEN TRY TO KILL THE TWO WHO SAVED ME? I CANT BELIEVE I TRUSTED YOU. YOU MURDERER. YOU KIDNAPPER!" She screamed.

When you and L looked down at her, you were rather taken aback. She'd managed to get a pocket knife from someone who's dropped it when the plane halted and now had it held over Kujo who lay weakened from the virus on the floor. How the tables turned.

"YOU- YOU... I HATE YOU! YOU RUINED MY FAMILY! YOU- I..." Maki sobbed, in clear distress.

She was young, only 10... it wasn't a surprise she'd be angry. Anyone of any age would if their parent was murdered, but a 10 year old would take it harder due to their lack of life experience and undeveloped brain. But you never expected she'd be holding a knife to her dads murderer ready to stab.

"Maki... calm down" you said, slowly approaching her.

"Don't sink to her level, don't become what she is" L added.

Police and ambulance sirens could be heard approaching the plane, Kujo knew she'd been defeated the second she heard them. Her question now was will she die at the hands of a ten year old while weakened from a deadly virus before the police her to her.

"But... she ruined everything. My dad is gone... my life is gone... my everything... she- she took everything from me" Maki cried.

"She's going to rot in prison for the rest of her life. Don't follow in her footsteps. You're better than that Maki. We lost everything and look at us now, we overcame that" you said.

"You promised me you'd save people one day right?" L added.

Crumbling from the words said to her, she dropped the knife and stumbled over to you and L wrapping her arms around the two of you and crying like it was the end of the world into your shirts. You both wrapped her into a tight hug as police began to enter the plane and immediately headed to arrest Kujo.

The case was finally over, and Maki was safe again.

As soon as she'd recovered fully, and she'd been to her dads funeral, she'd be heading back to England to join a new family. Hopefully you, L, boy and the successors would be able to love her as much as her own mother and father did.
