Mello bit angrily into the chocolate bar he held as he paced the length of the room, worrying a path into the faded wood beneath his feet. Every now and then, his narrowed sapphire eyes would widen a fraction and steal a heated glance towards the frail figure in the corner who hunched over the laptop. Any other lackey in the room was ignored, imaginary, useless in the eyes of the blonde. He had eyes only for one particular hacker and, as he pulled a sleek gun from the concealed pocket in his sports jacket and fingered the trigger a little too hard, he was reminded that the hacker whose attention he seeked was not this one.
No, the person he seeked was a redhead commonly found in a striped shirt and a sheepskin vest with a faux-fur lining. Unfortunately, his hired hands weren't good enough to break the security to the one thing the redhead had left behind... A laptop.
The blonde had hired a number of code monkeys to crack into his childhood friend's systerm, but none had been successful so far and his patience was wearing thin.
"We need to find out why he left and where he went," Mello said for the umpteenth time, threading gloved fingers through his hair and tugging in exasperation. "We need Matt. -I need Matt."

And when that redhead opened his mouth, the panic was evident in his usually stoic voice: "Mello, listen to me... I'm going away for a while. When the time comes, you'll know when and where to find me. If you're watching this, that means you've killed all your little minions and decided to try to hack my shit all by yourself. Congratulations. Now... when this video is complete, I need you to access my journal. Read it all, and by the end, you'll understand what's going on."
The video cut off and Mello easily located the necessary documents; he pulled up the first journal and began to read.
