Work Text:
Kenzou Hotaru sat in his small apartment wrapped in blankets at his desk. It was unusually cold outside, the whole week it had been in the 80s, but the weather changed and it was now 32 degrees.
He had been working on a book he was intending to publish, typing on his computer when he heard a muffled ring. Kenzou almost reached for the phone in his pocket, but he realized the ring was different. It was the sound of the ringtone from a special device he had used in the past to communicate with L.
Kenzou sighed, standing up from his desk, shrugging the blankets off of him. Inside his bedside table had a small secret compartment with a key, which unlocked the drawer in his desk that had the communication device.
He unlocked the drawer, pulling it out and answering.
"This is Detective Dike." He spoke, as he sat back down and wrapped himself in his blankets once again.
A robotic voice spoke back to him. "This is L, Have you heard about Kira yet?"
"I have, however I've been too busy to look into it. Why?" Kenzou frowned, most likely L contacting him meant he wanted him to work on a case. This would potentially be a problem, Detective Dike had already been swamped with work. He had been taking today to destress himself after all.
"Twelve FBI agents where sent to Japan to investigate suspects, and all twelve of them have been killed"
Kenzou bit the inside of his cheek. "Sounds like a dangerous case."
"Yes, yes it is. Detective Dike I would like for you to work on this case with me."
Kenzou stayed silent for a moment, hesitating to respond. He would at least need time to think about it, as he finally opened his mouth to respond L spoke again. "I am aware you are busy with other cases, however I have preparations to handle them. I want you to fly out to Japan for this. I believe your help will be crucial to solving this case."
The detective looked around his room, watching his cat who slept on her cat tree. "I don't usually work outside of the US. I would need time to think about it, especially if my life is on the line."
"Ill give you a week, call back when you have your answer. I will have some information emailed to you." There was a beeping noise signaling the end of the call.
Kenzou put the device back in the drawer, locking it. He stared at the key for a moment thinking things over. There was a small ding from his computer, no doubt the email had already been sent. He got up to go put the key back where it was held.
Instead of checking the email, he closed his laptop. This could be dealt with tomorrow. It was about time for him to get some rest.

His mother was an FBI agent and his father was a lawyer, and Kenzou eventually developed an interest in crime. Middle school is around the time he decided to be a detective.
Kenzou had the opportunity for early graduation, so at 16 he graduated high school and began looking for collages he could study at until he was old enough to join the police force.
Kenzou hotaru officially became a detective at 20 years old, and started going by an alias to protect his identity. He called himself Dike, after the greek goddess of justice.
He quickly became one of the top detectives in the US, specializing in missing persons cases.
even working on quite a few cases with L. Despite the two only working together on cases, and not meeting each other face to face there was some sort of friendship between the two.

When the kira killings started happening, Kenzou started to get curious, there was no way this could be coincidence, but he was busy with his own work to fully investigate into it. That was, untill he was contacted by L.
After a week of planning Kenzou flew out to Japan shorty after the 12 FBI agents died.
