A.N./ Okay so the votes are in. This will be a Romance/Crime and this will be with Adult Mello and Child Near. This is going to be a series. I know what this story is going to be about. I have a general idea of what I want to happen but ideas are more than welcome. Also, Please review. My life has been terrible as of late and I would like you all to review to make me happy. This story is AU like almost all of my stories because I suck at writing. T-T Oh well. I'm looking for a beta too. If anyone is one please tell me and I will see if you could beta my stories.
[Near's point of view]
This was it. It was the biggest heist in the history of heists. The Teddy Bear Muesume was going to be robbed. Near had already sent the letter to the police saying he was going to rob it and had gotten everything ready. He was about to make off with the best loot in the world. He was going to steal a teddy bear. Along with the teddy bear he was going to steal all the money the muesume had so he wouldn't go hungry while living on the streets. He had run away from his foster home after his foster father tried to rape him. He wasn't ever going back to that place. The problem with running away though was that he didn't have the money to feed himself that was why he was going to steal.
Near sat in position and waited for the lights in the muesume to go off. He had timed them to go off at exactly 9:55 P.M. It was now 9:54 P.M. Near sat there waiting however. This was his third muesume. The other muesumes actually held things besides teddy bear. They held jewls that he had stolen when he robbed them. The problem with jewls was that they were hard to get rid of. After his second muesume he decided to start only stealing the money. Not his best plan but it was the easiest. Not too many people liked to buy from seven year olds.
There! The lights went out. He had exactly one minute to grab the teddy bear and the cash and get the heck out of there. He snuck around the very confused gaurds and walked into the office room. He easily got the money out of the safe. He walked quickly out and wandered to the teddy bear room searching for the perfect one. There it was. A completely white teddy bear with ruby eyes. Near picked the lock that kept the teddy neatly in place in a glass case. He was careful when he pulled it out as not to hurt it because teddy bears can feel pain. He quietly left the teddy bear room and ran out the muesume door.
Near made his way to his hiding place in an alley not too far from the muesume. He climbed into his card board box that was covered with blankets. It held many blankets and pillows inside as well. This city became freezing at night time.
Near curled up in one of the many blankets and put the money down to count it. He held the teddy bear in one arm and curled one leg beneath him while keeping the other brought up close to his chest.
"One...Two...Three...Four..." He started counting the quarters first and placed the dollars in a seperate pile. "One dollar. One...Two...Three...Four..." The counting continued for a while until he was tired.
He placed the money inside of a monkey puppet to hide it from anyone who crept into his dwelling during the time he was to be asleep. He patted around on his makeshift bed until he was comfortble enough to let his mind fall into a blissful sleep. He always slept well after he pulled off a job.
Near didn't have to wait long for sleep to overcome him and for the first night in many of the nights, he slept peacfully.
[Mello's point of view]
Mello was new to being a detective so he usually got the crappiest jobs and allot of them. His pay was Hell and most of the criminals he was thrown were so freaking easy to catch. He often was given the theives the others were too lazy too catch and put brain work into, not that you needed any to catch these guys. This time was different though.
Mello had finally gotten a good one. This time he was going to be given higher cases and not just though of as a newbie who didn't know the ropes. Mello had gotten a highprofile case this time. It was given to him especially by Chief Yagami. The theif this time hadn't left any evidence and was robbing high security muesumes like it was nothing.
Mello practically skipped to the car when he heard that his theif struck again. It wasn't until his partner came that his high was thrown down low. Like real low. So low that it almost could reach Hell.
"Where we headin'?" Mello asked his partner. The man's name was L. That was it. He had messy black hair that looked as though it hadn't been combed in ages and he was always slouching. He had bags under his eyes th size of Russia that looked as though he hadn't ever slept his whole life and he only ate sugary things. In short, he was Mello's idol. No, it wasn't because of all the eccentric things about him. It was because he was a genius.
"A teddy bear muesume." Mello's high fell like no tomorrow.
"A teddy bear muesume?" L nodded.
"Our thief has struck a teddy bear muesume and has stolen a very valuble teddy bear. It was made for the Queen of Spain when she was a little girl and is very valuble. He also stole all of the muesume's money." Mello didn't know what to say.
"What's the chance our thief is a girl?" Mello asked.
"7%"
"So 93% chance he's a boy."
"That is correct."
"Why did he steal a teddy bear then?"
"That teddy bear is worth one billion dollars."
"You can't sell it without someone knowing though."
"No, I don't suppose you can."
"L?"
"Yes, Mello."
"Could our thief be a child?"
"The probability our theif is a child is even lower than if he was a girl."
"What is it?"
"2%"
"Why so low?"
"It requires expert skills to be able to crack the security codes of the muesume our thief steals from. The probability that a child can do that is extremely low though not impossible." Mello nodded and didn't say anything else while he drove off to the crime scene. He still had the sneaking suspicion that their thief was a child. He was quite sure that it was little boy though a child that smart should have been a prodigy of something. L wais it was 2% though and that was an extremely low probabilty. Mello just assumed to stop thinking about it. The rest of the drive was consumed with the eager wait of getting there. Who knows? Maybe they gave the teddy to their girlfriend or something. Maybe they have a teddy bear fettish. That was more likely than it being an actual child robbing these high security muesumes. But maybe...
