Mello was walking away from the orphanage, the rain pouring down onto him.
'I will catch Kira myself...' He thought to himself, trudging in the rain.
The night went on and morning came. Inside the orphanage, the children were awakening for breakfast.
The red-head sat up in bed and yawned. He stood up and unknowingly started to undress.
'Wait...Wake up Mello first..'
"Mello!! Time for breakfast!! Wake up!"
Matt waited a few seconds for a response.
"Mello!! Come on! Wake up or I'll tell Near where you hide your chocolate!"
Matt still didn't get a response.
He cautiously climbed up the ladder, "Mello..?"
All he saw a wrinkled bed sheet.
'Mello already go to breakfast..?'
"Well, okay then," he said to him self out loud, "I'll just meet him there"
Matt quickly dressed, his striped black and white shirt and jeans. He picked up his DS and started down the hall.
Matt saw some awkward scenes while he was walking down the hall. Not just your regular Whammy House awkward, depressing awkward.
There were two girls in the doorway of their room, sobbing and crying. You couldn't make out the words they were trying to say through the sobs, but Matt could tell that they were trying to talk.
'What's wrong with them..?' Matt wondered.
A little farther down the hall, Matt saw a boy tracing a 'L' on the wall, over and over again in bright green marker.
"Ya know, Rodgers gunna yell at you for doing that," Matt said warningly.
"Does it look like I care?" The boy shot back, a heavy glare plastered at Matt.
"Apparently not..." Matt said, walking away quickly.
Matt made it to the dining hall. The feel in the air was...Melancholy, as one might say. Sweet but sour.
Matt remembered why he came down so early. He looked around for Mello, but he was nowhere in sight, Near either.
Matt decided that he'd just go ask Rodger, instead of running through the orphanage searching for Mello.
Matt was outside of Rodgers office. For some reason he felt nervous.
He knocked on the large door hesitantly.
"Yes..?" A shaky voice came form inside.
"Rodger..? Its Mail"
"Oh yes...I was expecting you Matt, come in"
'Why me..?' Matt thought to himself.
Matt pushed open the large heavy door and walked in, taking a seat.
"What is it Rodger?"
"...L and Watari...are dead."
"WHAT?! L dead?! Watari?! Was it Kira?!"
"They are not sure...But as you know, Mello and Near were chosen to succeed L."
"Who did he choose?" Matt blurted the words out faster than he could think.
"He died before he could choose...Near is going with the SPK-"
Before Rodger could say anything more Matt interrupted.
"What about Mello?"
"Mello...decided to go on his own.."
"And you let him?!"
"...Yes"
Matt's face turned almost as red as his hair as he stormed out of the office, running down the hall to his room, pushing down a small girl in the process.
When Matt got to his room, he tore through his drawer, pulling out five black and white striped shirts, three pairs of jeans and his pack of cigarettes he had hidden from Rodger.
Grapping a bag down from the closest, Matt stuffed his belongings into the striped bag.
'I will find Mello..'
Matt thought as he rushed out the door and ran down the street in the pouring rain. He could hear Rodger yelling at him from the orphanage behind him. He didn't care, he just wanted to find Mello.
