Mikami's most obvious reaction to that was to simply raise his eyebrows, although he couldn't help from stiffening slightly, hardening the grip on the journal in his lap. He hadn't been sure just how this man would compare to the other staff he'd had contact with, but now it was clear that he was far more dangerous. That sort of information wasn't commonly known amongst the more "mundane" staff as far as he knew; the nurses had never let on before that they knew anything about his real life. It seemed obvious to Mikami that Dr. Wilson may have even had a hand himself in sending him the mother who should have been long dead and crafting the twisted story they had tried to press on him. As he had expected, they knew exactly how to hit him where he least expected it.
Simply by virtue of what he was, Mikami didn't like being expected to answer questions, but for the sake of the conversation and to further understand the situation, he did so.
"If by 'cooperated,' you mean putting the names and pictures of criminals online, then yes, I suppose that's right," he said quietly, and any possible humor was absent, shut down by the serious level of devotion he felt toward Kira, rather than any uncertainty. Using the internet to help bring criminals to justice was technically a secret, but it should have been obvious to pin him as one of those people for anyone who knew his line of work and feelings toward the subject. He'd been on the television before... his love for Kira was hardly kept under wraps.
However, he had also made it fairly obvious that he was working for Kira under his god's own personal orders. It was supposed to be obvious, for those who were tailing him. And so if Landel's people knew, it wasn't particularly surprising. However, if that was in his file, along with any connection between Yagami Light and Kira.... He eyed the papers for a moment before returning his gaze to the doctor who was still clearly gauging him for reaction. If there was anything certain, it was that Mikami wasn't going to forget what this guy looked like. Trying not to lose stride, he continued where his last sentence had left off.
"Surely you can recognize doing so is hardly in the wrong."
