Just Another Day
5 hours. That's how long Matt had been playing video games. You would think with being Mello's right hand man that his life would have been more busy. But then you would be wrong. Matt was a twenty-one year old,5'5,115 pound, male with dark red and dark blue eyes. Matt pushed his goggles onto his forehead and rubbed his eyes as Mello walked in.
"What's going on Matt?"
"Not much Mel. What about you?" Matt said as he stood up.
"I got an idea Matt. A Good idea"
"How refreshing"
"Shut up and listen. From what I've heard is that Near is sending in some people from Whammy's. What I want to do is make sure that they don't make it to Near. Get the picture?"
Matt nodded
Mello followed Matt out to his red 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396. Mello could tell that Matt really loved that car, considering that Matt didn't have much.
"Why the hell don't I have a kick-ass car?" Mello thought as he slide into the passenger seat.
Mello looked out the window as Matt put in his Maximum the Hormone CD and put the track to "What's Up People?"
"Hey Mel"
"Hmmm?"
"What do you want to do after this whole Kira thing is over?"
Mello thought a moment, he never really considered this before. Mello rarely looked toward the future nor the past he simply lived in the moment. Of course Mello once had the idea of meeting a girl and settling down, but he now realized that that would never happen.
"I don't know Matt. What about you?"
"Hell I don't know."
"Then why the hell did you ask me?"
Matt just shrugged.
Matt parked the car at the airport where the people from Whammy were going to be landing. Matt sighed and put a cigarette between his lips and lit it. Mello turned in his seat and looked at him.
"Alright so here is what we do. We're going to kill them once they leave the airport but before Near picks them up. Now I'll do the killing, you just keep the car running."
Matt nodded as Mello got out and walked toward the entrance to the airport. Matt sighed again. It was a pain in the ass to have to do stuff like this, but Matt did it anyway. For Mello is what he told himself each time they had to steal something or kill somebody or do something annoying and stupid. Matt did it for Mello because Mello didn't take shit from anybody and because him and Matt were usually alone during there time at Whammy's. This was just another mission, just another day, and mostly just another annoying thing to do.
The gunshots made Matt jump. As soon as he saw Mello running towards the car, Matt gripped the steering wheel. When Mello got in the car, Matt put his foot down on the gas making Mello be pressed against his seat.
"It went well I take it?"
Mello smiled devilishly at him and Matt returned the smile.
As they walked into there apartment Matt sat down in front of the TV and Mello slumped on the couch. "Yep", Matt thought, "Something like this is probably going to happen tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that. Just Another Day."
