Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN DEATH NOTE, but boy if I did. . .
POV//: Matt's. Sort of a retelling of what happened.
I'm the distraction. I'm always the distraction. Mello plans the schemes and I'm the diversion. But it's meant to be this way. I don't make good plans.
But I'm losing my confidence in Mello's plan. This crazy plan to catch Kira. To kidnap Takada, his spokeswoman.
In this crazy plan, I'm supposed to divert the police away from Mello so he can get to Takada.
And it's working. I'm speeding in my red car with the police on my tail. I've got a death grip on the wheel. My cigarette is clutched between my lips. I'm not even smoking it. It's just sitting there, pressed between my lips with the ashes falling into my lap.
The cop cars are so close to me. And I can't keep my mind from racing. I need an escape. I need to get away. I need a new cigarette. I need Mello.
Cars are up ahead of me. I realize they're cop cars. All I can do is mumble a faint 'shit.' They've got me surrounded. Completely encircled. I'm trapped, with no way out. I slam my foot into the brakes. They make a screeching sound and the car comes to a halt. Then there's a pause. One of those movie like pauses, where for one brief moment, everything stops. Where you have just enough time to get one thought out. And all I can think about is Mello.
I look around at the cars that have encircled me. The police have gotten out of their cars. And what's this? They have guns? When did they get those?
"When were Japanese allowed to have possessions of those nice arms?" I say, almost with a smirk.
I climb out the car and raise my hands in the air. My cigarette still in my mouth, only now I'm holding it with my teeth.
I try to make a deal with them. I'd take them to Mello and Takada. Not so much for them, but so I could see Mello once more.
I knew I was going to die.
"You can't possibly fire at. . ." I begin in a pathetic attemp to try save my life.
Bullets begin blazing out of nowhere. They hit me. At least ten or fifteen of them. I can feel the warm blood pouring from my body. Then it all goes calm and black. This is the end.
The end of Matt, the distraction.
Now here I am in heaven. Not sure how I ended up here myself. Maybe for trying to help stop Kira? I don't know really.
Mello is here too. I guess that means it's up to Near to stop Kira. Not that I really care anymore. We went out fighting. But now's the time to end it. No more schemes. No more distractions.
