The crashing of the waves was all that could be heard above the sound of the whirring machinery surrounding him until Linda interrupted.
"Mell, satellite call for you." She said seriously.
"Linda… We're launching. Can't you see these submersibles going in the water?" Mello asked in an irritated tone.
"Trust me Mello." She said, gripping his shoulder tightly, "you want to take this call."
Mello looked at her bemusedly before giving in, but not without a warning. "This had better be worth it, Lin, or it's your paycheck."
She smiled, saying "You should speak up, he's kinda old." Before handing him the phone; He took it from her hand and spoke.
"Hello, this is Mello Keehl, what can I do for you Mr.…" He looked to Linda for a name, "Yagami. Liam Yagami." she whispered, "Mr. Yagami?"
Please, call me L. I was wondering, have you found the heart of the ocean yet, Mr. Keehl?"
Mello stared at Linda, a look of astonishment on his face. "Told 'ya you wanted to take this call." She smirked.
"You have my attention, L. Can you tell us who the young man in the picture is?"
Oh, yes. The young man in the picture is me.
