L sighed as he looked over the list on his computer screen again, " I don't know Roger." He put his thumb to the bottom of his lip, " Who knows if either of them could handle this, look at what already happen to the others."
"L you're the one that said that you might not have long, and that you need a successor, just pick Near or Mello." L considered them, they both were intelligent but they had flaws. Near who was close to his intelligence, but lacked emotion needed to get information out of people and it would be his biggest downfall. Mello on the other hand was too emotional and let it control his every move, especially his pride. The pause was long enough that Roger sighed and said, " Please sir if you don't pick one both of them are going to fight each other to the end."
L didn't respond instead he looked down the list and paused for a moment and said, " Oak, who is Oak?"
Roger said, " You know her, she's Mello's sister and tied with Matt."
L picked up the fork next to him and ate the strawberry that was on top of the short cake he was eating. Oak, he remembered her now, but she wasn't L material in fact she had barely gotten her letter. Though no one could deny that she was smart she wasn't nearly smart as Near or even her brother. "Get her on the computer later, I need to talk to her." He then shut the transmission down; it wouldn't do for someone on the task force to see his connection to the Wammy House.
