Decision
Eavesdropping would've been a euphemism in respective to what Mello did. Of course, he never went looking for trouble--it just happened to find him. Cliche' enough for you? Probably. But what if Mello just happened to walk past Mr. Roger's office whom just happened to be on the phone with a suspicious character? Would you still call that coincidence? Mello was not superstitious to say in the least--superstitions were a poor man's dream--and he only percieved the cold hard facts. However, how could he ignore the several mentionings of his name from Rodger to whomever he was speaking to on the telephone?
If that wasn't strange, then he hated chocolate.
As Mello listened, his interpretation of the conversation was hazy; he needed to hear the responses from the opposite reciever. Holding his breath and opening his senses as wide as he could, the blonde heard the final statement in which solidified his specualtive judgement.
"Get rid of your top 3 successors, or everyone at Wammy's house will die."
...
Mello was laying on the house roof, spread out eagle-winged against the cool panels, the brisk wind brushing gently against his skin.
"I can't get that night out of my head," he sleepily uttered to himself, opening his heavy blue eyes.
He had been subjected to restless insomnia ever since... Not like it affected Mello much, anyway. He was used to all-nighters. Studying and working relentlessly hard to try and beat "Mr. Number One", Near, called for such extreme measures and nothing less.
Mello suddenly found himself smirking.
The only positive aspect towards the threatening call the blonde had over-heard was that Near would most definately be taken-out immediately. But even that contemplation was unsettling.
'Having that bastard removed would be the easy way up the rankings," Mello pondered, his brow sourly furrowing. 'I want to humiliate him with my own efforts... Damn it! I need to do something about this!'
He would never tell Near about the situation. But knowing him, the white-haired boy would probably figure it out sooner or later. Matt was already fully informed, seeing how he was Mello's only trusted companion and the 3rd selected target himself. Besides him, there was no one else to turn to--Roger was completely out of the question and all of the other children were utterly unreliable.
L...
He would definately be able to aid Mello in this, but as far as the blonde knew, his idol was off abroad solving another intense case.
"Then it looks like," Mello spouted aloud, lifting his torso off of the roof panels, "I'll have to take matters into my own hands."
Only problem was, where would he begin...?
...
And thus does it begin! ;3 This fic has been all planned out so I should be able to update every other day (depending on how much I have to type and how much time I have :p). It's gonna be intense! I can't wait until the action starts! I hope all of the reader's will stay with me too, X3 See you next chapter.3
