Disclaimer: I own nothing! If I did, it would end up something like this and L, Matt, Mello and Light would most defiantly not die!

This will eventually be YAOI! If that's not your cup of tea, don't read! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Please review, it makes me happy!

A giant thank you to the marvelous scooterwoof for betaing this!

Chapter 1

The room was dark and dingy and the only thing that could be heard was the steady drumming of nimble fingers on keys. The walls where lined with various electronic devices and other equipment. There were no windows and the only light available was from the door, which was slightly ajar, and the computers.

A redhead was typing away, pausing only to change the connection between the computers or to take a drag on the cigarette he had in his mouth. He was wearing a striped shirt; baggy, faded, blue jeans; and a fur vest. His black gloves and orange goggles, which covered his eyes, completed his attire. His hair was a beautiful copper color with shades of red in it. He had a pale complexion and a skinny frame. On anyone else, that look would have made them seem...odd, to say the least, but it suited him.

He winced as he heard the angry steps of his boss get closer to the room he was in. He concentrated on his cigarette as his boss slammed the door and started walking towards him with purposeful steps.

"Matt! Hurry the fuck up! We're running out of time!"

The redhead sighed but otherwise ignored him; he had a job to do. They had been planning this for months, he wasn't about to ruin it by wasting time. Mello had decided about a month ago that he wanted to expand the underground network he controlled and that the best was to do that was to breaking into their rivals' hideouts and take everything they could get their hands on. That also involved Matt hacking into their databases and stealing all their meeting place and hideout information. He also had to arrange a way for the police to get what they needed to arrest said rivals without linking it back to them.

There was a heavy silence for a while, interrupted only by the steady drumming of his fingers on the keyboard and Mello's pacing when Touta Matsuda, one of Mello's numerous henchmen, came rushing in.

He was twitching and looked jumpier that usual. He halted by the door, not daring to enter seeing how Mello was glaring at him. Normally, he would have waited for Mello's OK before talking but it was urgent and so he figured it would be better than saying nothing. "Boss! We have a problem."

Matt flinched, he might not have liked the guy, but nobody deserved the beating he was going to get for bringing the bad news.

Mello snapped a piece of his chocolate off, making Matsuda flinch before giving him a curt nod to continue.

"L found us! The police will be here any minute!"

Matt froze and looked up a Mello, a worried frown on his face.

"Don't just stand there, dumbass! Start evacuating! Get everything OUT! Fuck!"

Matt began packing up his equipment when Mello gave him one of his icy glares cold enough to freeze lava, effectively convincing him to finish his work.

"Hurry the fuck up, moron! Finish this before those fricken' cops show up!"

Matt didn't bother answering him, when he was in this type of mood, it was better to do first and ask later. He resumed his hacking while Mello paced back and forth, snapping away at his chocolate bar. He was almost done copying all of the files containing important information such as the meeting points for transactions when Matsuda came running in again. He was panting heavily as if he had been running.

"The cops are five blocks away! You have to get away from here, boss!"

Matt glanced up but quickly bent back over his computer before Mello saw him.

'Shit…..almost done…come on…come on…hurry up!' He began absently drumming his fingers on the computer but stopped when Mello marched towards him.

"Hurry the fuck up Matt, or we'll leave without you!"

At that wonderful moment, his computer seemed to sense his need to get away from there and finished copying the files. He then quickly activated the virus that was meant to destroy their network and send an anonymous and untraceable e-mail to the cops when…

"Shit."

Mello looked at him from his resumed position by the door with such a look of pure hatred, Matt felt like sinking into the ground.

"What now?" Mello spoke through clenched teeth, which meant that unless everything miraculously turned out to be awesome, there would be a few corpses in an alley somewhere by tomorrow morning.

Matt wordlessly pointed at the screen. He found it hard to believe that such a simple message could make his life so horrible.

Mello slowly walked over to the screen and read the message that had appeared.

''I can help. If you want to get out in one piece do as I say.'' There where two buttons accompanying the message: 'YES' and "NO".
