Light waits one week before killing Raye Penber. He follows Raye onto a train and forces him to write down the names of his fellow agents on a piece of the Death Note by threatening Raye's family. Because of the simultaneous death of these twelve FBI agents in Japan, the police are scared to continue investigating, and the American President pulls the FBI off the Kira case; however, Penber's fiancée, a former FBI agent, seeks to find Kira for revenge. Light has another criminal leave a third coded note for L which finishes the phrase "L, do you know? Gods of Death love apples." Although there is truth to this, L determines that Kira is only mocking him as he considers his next move.
