" Why the hell do I have to go undercover with this Mai girl?" exclaimed Matt when Near asked him.
" Well," Near said," She already is so you need to act as her husband. I don't care if its awkward I just need you to do it."
" Fine. What is she like anyway?" Matt said somewhat interested.
" You'll find out when you meet her at the Borgotá in Atlantic City, New Jersey."
" Oh so she lives in America. Oh joy…"
" She really lives in Japan. America is were her character 'Mai' lives."
" Oh so what's her real name."
" She'll tell you if she wants to." Near said bluntly. " Go back to your apartment and get some clothes together. She is expecting to meet you tomorrow at 3:30. Goodbye." Near said shutting him out of his apartment.
When he got back to his apartment he didn't expect Mello to be home. Most likely he was out with Halle. Again.
" Hey Mel? You home?" Silence. " Of course. Eh probably should start packing. Crap I can't bring a game console…" he said to himself.
It was the next day and one of Near's SPK guards came to pick him up. Unfortunately it was Halle.
" Hey Matt!" she said cheerfully.
" Oh hey Halle…" he said trying to be cheerful.
" Oh yeah! If your wondering about Mai-chun don't worry. She's my best friend and well… I didn't really want to tell you but she sorta reminds me of you."
" Oh really?" Matt said with a hint of sarcasm.
" Ya. She has like a million and one games and all the game consoles. She loves guns. I swear last time I was there she had a full fucking room just filled with guns. I don't know if she smokes… Or drinks for that matter but she most likely does. But she's really nice. I think you would like her."
" Hmm… If what you say is true I think I would…" Matt said interested.
" Oh, were here at the airport and Near gave me your tickets. Lucky!"
" What?" Matt said surprised.
" You got fucking first class!"
" Oh… Ok?" what's the big deal its just first class… Matt thought.
" Hmm well you gotta go. See ya hope you like America…" she said almost laughing.
" Ya I'm going to have fun on a 6 hour flight…" he said with a lot of sarcasm.
5-6 Hours later.
" Are you Matt Ryuzaki?" some guy said when Matt finally got his luggage.
" Uh yeah? Why?" Matt said suspiciously.
" I am your ride to the Borgotá Mr. Ryuzaki. Your brother Near got the ride for you."
" Oh uh… Thank you. I'll call him later." Matt said trying to sound polite.
" You are staying at the Borgotá right?"
" Yes I am." God isn't he supposed to know this? Matt thought.
" I gave your wife a ride there yesterday. I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but she is really beautiful. Like really hot." the driver said cautiously.
" Ya I get that a lot. Lucky to get a girl like her."
" She looks like she could be related to you. She even had some goggles like yours. And she even had red hair. I just think that's a little weird sir."
" Ya when we started out as friends we always joked around saying we were related. Thank god we weren't." Matt said jokingly.
" Well we are here sir, let me help you with your luggage to your room."
" Thank you sir. I don't think that would be necessary but thank you." Matt said trying to sound like a normal now married 23 year-old.
" No sir. Its fine. Besides your brother told me to take you too your room."
" Ok then… Sometimes it can get annoying when your little brother treats you like the little brother."
" Your brother seemed really old. How old was he anyway?"
" He is 21. Well we're here. Huh… Mai left me a txt."
" Hey there Matty :D" started out the txt. " I might be sleeping. I'm not use to the time difference. Srry if I am. I think the driver has a pass key. Ask him ttyl."
" Hey you don't happen to have a pass key?" Matt said." Actually I do. Mai said that you didn't have one or something like that…" the driver said looking for the key.
" Here you go. Well nice knowing you Mr. Ryuzaki."
" Oh before you go here." Matt said giving him a 20$ tip.
" Wow thank you sir…" the driver said surprised.
" K then bye." Now I finally get to meet Mai…
