A/N: you can skip the profile if you want, it doesn't matter all that much. The idea came from the 13th Death Note, how every main character has a profile.

BASIC DATA

Involvement in the story

First seen talking to Light in the grocery store, she gets kidnapped a few years later by an unplanned Mafia move, and meets Matt and Mello. She is in possession of a Death Note with no rules, and is unaware she even has one at all.

PERSONALITY

Unpredictable and moody

Quite boyish, this bold girl turns shy and polite in the face of important strangers, yet that could change at any moment. You could say that her predictability is on par with Matsuda's.

ABILITIES

A hidden mind

Her genius is hidden and only comes to light under pressure or in pinch, and the hard situations appear amazingly simple with her way of thinking. Laser eye surgery courtesy of the Mafia increased her observational skill.

OUTTAKES

Swordplay, move over!

Zeeke taught herself how to fight with a broomstick. Quite a handy skill (pardon the pun) as she uses it several times. When she was 14 she even painted her own with little designs!

Family issues

Zeeke lived with her mother before being kidnapped at the hotel, and said mother hated jello; thus began a series called the Jello Raids in Zeeke's head. She bought her own jello and made/ate it at the park.

Prologue

The grocery store

It was just a normal day when Light stepped out to buy groceries. It was the 20th of June, and Misa Amane paced loyally by his side.

Groceries shouldn't be a chores god must carry out, was Light's reasoning, and so he brought the annoying girl along. She was to find what his family needed, and the only thing he would do was follow her around and act like he was shopping.

While in the store, he spotted an odd and short figure by multiple boxes of jello, with several boxes already in his or her arms. The 12 year old was attempting to reach a box at a shelf higher than he or she was able to, and several of the cardboard shapes were hitting the cheap tile flooring.

Light sighed, told Misa he'd be right back, and grabbed a basket near the check out counter.

"Here," he held the plastic basket to the kid, "this might be easier." Gratefully, the kid dumped the jello boxes into the basket, and then proceeded to remove it from the teens arm. As a final act of kindness, Light stretched his arm up and snagged the small container the kid was trying to reach before, and placed it in the basket. Said kid thanked him then hesitated before sticking her hand out.

"Zeeke." She blinked at him through oval lenses.

It didn't take too long for Light to figure out that this was an introduction, and his reflex reaction was to shake her hand, introduce himself, and be on his way.

Of course, he never suspected that the girl he had met for only a few minutes would be kidnapped 4 years later, and her name would come up several times with him barely taking notice.

1. The Mistake

4 years later

They were ordered to locate and restrain a woman on the 7th floor, room number 13.

Not the best combination of numbers.

5 men marched out of the elevator, led by an 18 year old redhead, who for some reason wore goggles and a strange vest. The collar on his vest was high, covering up the evidence—the grinding teeth—for the need of a cigarette.

Once they were there, he said one thing. "In and out. No dawdling. And we don't want Missy to scream."

Which pretty much meant knock her out on immediate sight.

The 'Missy' he was referring to was a lady named Mary Gallant, who had at one moment in time borrowed their services with a promise to pay them back. The money hadn't come when expected, and where these men came from, there are no first warnings, and no second chances.

They were from the Mafia.

The redhead knocked. No answer. Another man stepped up and pulled a lock picking kit out of his pocket. The door was open in less than 10 seconds.

They cruised in and spread out, the hotel room being as neat as if no one had used it. The lack of lights at 9pm signalled no one was in at the moment, and nothing but a closed suitcase on the chair next to the bed revealed that there was anyone here at all.

The men relaxed slightly, and some foolishly lowered their hands away from the guns at their belts.

Footsteps in the hall caused them all to tense again. They had left the door open, a major mistake. But they had expected it to be just as the redhead had said; in and out, no dawdling.

After a sharp intake of breath through his teeth (which caused the men to tense even more—they hadn't even posted anyone at the door) Redhead gestured to a dark haired man without taking his hand off of the gun at his waist.

Said man raised his pistol and hid next to the door. The footsteps took the shape of a teen girl, brown haired and brown eyed, about 5'. She turned in the open door, first laying her eyes on Redhead and opening her mouth.

"Wha--," Her quiet voice was cut off as the man by the door (who's name she later learns is Shota) knocked her out with the butt of his gun. Books scattered along the floor, along with the odd packet of jello, and her mouth formed an 'O' of surprise and understanding.

Redhead stepped up and caught her around the shoulders as she fell."Target confirmed. Grab her stuff, we're heading back."

Choruses of 'yes boss' were heard as the 6 males walked out of the room with an unconscious teenage girl, a small suitcase, an armful of books, and two loose packets of jello.

A/N: At first I was a little iffy about posting this, it's kind of my first strictly DeathNote fanfic, not to mention Matt gets center stage. I don't really know too much about Matt, except for how he dies.

Thanks to the purchase of the 13th Death Note, I now have more info, and I'm going to try to read the manga chapters with him in them to get an image in my head of his personality... which chapters is he in?

So since the chapters written are so short, it's 2 chapters per update, 'kay?

Thank you for reading, have a nice day.
