Matt's POV

I woke with a start as cold water splashed me, "Dude!" I pulled my goggles up onto my now dripping hair and looked up to Beyond. "What was that for?"

"How else was I going to wake you up?" He asked, cradling his bucket like his life depended on it. He must have cleaned up from when I first got here because he was now in a clean black long sleeve and his face and hair were clear of jam.

Realization as to where I was and why I was there came flooding back. "Where the hell did she go?" I pushed myself up off the floor and looked around the room for Gia. The screen was kicked out. I went to the window and looked out it. My car was gone. "She took my baby." I whimpered. I didn't think she even knew how to drive a car. I pulled out my phone and started dialing numbers

"Where the hell are you?" Mello's annoyed voice came through the phone.

I sat on Gia's bed and sighed, "I'm going to tell you, but you have to promise not to freak out."

"What is he doing here?" Mello spat as he stalked into Gia's room where Near and I were waiting.

"Well, I am her brother as well." Near stated, twirling a piece of white hair between his fingers.

Mello huffed and leaned against the door as his blue eyes landed on me obviously waiting for some sort of explanation. When I didn't offer one, he finally asked, "What happened?"

I sighed and leaned back onto the bed, "She wanted me to help her get to Denmark. She didn't think it was fair that Mom and Dad wouldn't take her. When I told her no, she knocked me out. She stole my damn car too." I stated standing up. This was so stressful. I needed a cigarette.

"You let her knock you out?" Mello questioned.

I shot him a look. "I didn't let her do anything. I hadn't expected her to hit me. It happened really fast."

"I think the best option here would be to alert our parents that Gia will be arriving soon. Since it took Mello so long to get here, it would be useless to try and catch up to her. She's probably boarding a plane as we speak. She should be there in a little under an hour and a half." Near calculated calmly. "Please, don't smoke in her room, Matt. It's rude." He commented as I pulled out a cigarette. I glanced over at him before putting it back.

"No way. We can't tell them, I was supposed to be watching her. L will kill me." Beyond came into the room. Beyond had been trying to regain L's trust for over seventeen years, losing his daughter would definitely set him back.

"I have an idea." Mello answered calmly.

Gia's POV

I sighed as I settled into the seat on the plane. I wasn't sure what was going to happen once I landed, there were a few possibilities. One was that my parents were going to be waiting on me at the airport to ship me back to England. Another was that my brothers, by some miracle, had beaten me to Denmark and were waiting for me to drag me home before mom and dad find out, or lastly, I've gotten away with this for the time being. I prayed silently for the third option.

As the plane took off, I gripped the armrest tightly. I'd never flown by myself before and I wasn't looking forward to doing it now, but I had to do this. If I could solve this case on my own my parents would have to accept the fact that I was ready to go on cases with them, that I could be of use. There was only one flaw in my plan. I didn't know almost nothing about this case my parents were working on. I knew it involved at least sixteen kidnappings and murders of young women, but past that I was clueless.

I leaned back into the chair, fighting the urge to pull my feet up onto the seat, and put in my head phones. It wouldn't be a very long plane ride, only about an hour from here to there and then I'd have to get to Viborg. That would be something to figure out when I got there.

Matt's POV

"I'm not sitting next to him." I brushed my hair back off my forehead as Mello stood in the middle of the isle, arms crossed.

"Mello, just sit down, we'll switch seats later." I hissed. "You're holding up the line." When Mello didn't moved, I grabbed him by the shoulder and shoved him roughly into the seat beside Near and sitting beside him. I heard him begin to protest and slapped my hand over his mouth, "Deal with it, Mels."

He pried my hand away from his face and glared coldly, "What's your problem?"

"You're acting like a child and if we get thrown off the plane we won't get to Denmark to get Gia home before mom and dad know she's missing." I snapped quietly as to not draw attention to us.

"They're going to find out eventually." Near said, gripping the armrest tightly. I looked him over, examining his behavior.

Near's knuckles were white from the tight grip. I looked to Mello and nodded in his direction. Mello glanced to him and then at me, shaking his head causing his blonde hair to sway around his face. Obviously Mello was not going to be any help.

When the rest of the plane was seated I turned to Mello, "Okay, switch seats with me." I didn't have to tell Mello twice. He stood up and I hopped into his chair and he fell into mine. "Hey." I said to Near.

Near looked up at me carefully, grey eyes wide. He was visibly shaking, but I could tell he was trying to keep his usual cool demeanor. "Hello."

Not knowing what else to do, I wrapped my arm around his shoulders and let him rest his head on my shoulder, "It's going to be fine. Just go to sleep for a little bit. I'll wake up when you land, alright?"

Near nodded and within a few minutes he was out, snoring softly at my side. Unsure about how light of a sleeper he actual was I kept my arm around him for fear of waking him up. It wasn't long before my arm fell asleep.

"He's too old to need someone to hold his hand." Mello snarled.

"We have bigger issues to worry about than whether or not Near can fly by himself." I reminded.

Mello looked away and then back to me, "She used her own card at the airport, but she also took out a large sum of money from an ATM in Winchester. It's going to be a lot harder to find her if she's paying in cash." He said. Mello had looked into the records before we boarded.

I nodded, "Well, we know she's going to Viborg, that's a start. We'll head her off there and drag her ass home."

Mello nodded, "Sounds like a plan." He looked passed me to Near, "Did we have to bring him? We work fine on our own."

"She's his sister too. Besides, he could be useful." I replied carefully.

Mello waved me off, "Whatever."
