Yay! Chapter 3 is up!
Recap-"Why are you guys following me?"
"You work for Near, and I want to see his failure."
"And I just follow Mello."
"Umm well he's kind of replaced L."
"WHAT?" They both shouted stopping to stare at me.
"Yeah, after L died, that Light guy was really Kira took over L's position. Then when Near started the SPK, Special Provisions for Kira, he defeated Kira. He then became N, you know like L but with a N." I said waving arms to make my point. "Now come on, you'll make me late if you don't start walking."
We walked to my teal 2007 Chevy Aveo; the motorcycle was my brothers, but I didn't have the heart to give it away. We all got in; I was driving and Mello and Matt were in the back.
"So how come we can't touch you but we can touch objects and sometimes go through walls?" Matt asked trying to ease the awkward silence.
"I don't know, may be you're like poltergeists or something." I said while speeding to Near's office building. I pulled up into the small parking lot out front and walked in with Matt and Mello at my heels.
When I walked in, I said a quick hello to Mark, the secretary. We walked to the elevator and pressed floor three.
"So, has Near changed much?" Matt asked.
"Nope, he still sits on floor with all his toys, but he probably has a lot more than when you two last saw him. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT."
When the elevator doors opened, there was the entire room filled with file drawers, computers, and, of course, toys were scattered all over the floor.
"Hey, guys, sorry I'm late. I have a good excuse, I mean reason."
"What is it this time?" Gevanni asked with a slight laugh.
"Marsh, who are the dudes behind you?" asked Halle.
At this point everyone, even Near, turned around.
"Near, I want you to meet the ghosts of Mello and Matt."
"Please explain, Marsh. This is rather illogical." Near said sitting in his usual position.
"Well, after I got home yesterday, I found these two in my apartment. Which, my apartment happened to be theirs while they were still alive. And Mello had to call me a hooker and a shorty, so when I bring them back to life I will kick his ass!" I said punching my fist in the air.
"Mello, when you get back to life, you might want to hide from Marsh for at least a year. She can and will kick your butt." Near said making a tower of dice.
"How would you know?" Mello asked snootily. (I love that word! lol)
"She smacked me across the face when I called her short." Halle said from over where Gevanni was.
"Oh, Mello, you're going to get your ass handed to you on a silver platter. Ha ha, sucks to be you." Matt said taunting Mello.
"Shut up." Mello said flipping Matt off.
"So, Near, what are we doing today?" I asked ignoring the two ghosts.
"We have case about a serial killer in France. The victims he picked are all men between the ages of 20 to 25 and all went to the same college." Near said reading the file Rester had handed to him.
"Maybe, a person who went to that college." Halle said.
"Of course, he was probably picked on or was on the some team and got kicked off." I said. "Were any of the men on the any sport team?"
"They all were on the soccer team." Near said. "Gevanni bring up a file of all the men on the soccer team at this school who were kicked off for any reason."
"Got it, boss." Gevanni said looking up all the information on our miniature super-computer.
"Marsh, I'm bored." Matt said sitting down on the floor besides Mello.
"Well, you followed Mello, who wanted to come with me to work, so entertain yourselves." I said reading through some files Gevanni printed out and handed to all of us.
"It could be Artois Ames. He was arrested 3 times already for attempted murder." Halle said holding up the file.
"Or Dior Blaise, he was kicked off the team last year. He didn't go until escorted off campus." I said holding his file.
"Does anyone else have anyone who it could be?" Near asked looking around.
"There's Elroy Gaston, but he was kicked off for failing a class. It says he seemed happy about though." Rester said.
"If he was happy about it, it couldn't have been him." Halle said.
"So it seems Artois Ames and Dior Blaise are our main suspects." Near said looking at the two men's files.
"Alright, we have our two main suspects, let's crack this case." Gevanni said high-fiving me.
We had to go through mountains of papers, call twenty different people, and it took hours. It was Dior Blaise who murdered the men. As we told the French police, they thanked us and went to arrest Mr. Blaise. By that time, it was already 11 o-clock p.m.
"Alright, we have no more cases for today, you may all go home." Near said dismissing us.
"Finally!" Mello and Matt shout walking towards the elevator.
I hugged everyone goodbye, as I usually do, and as I was hugging Near, he whispered, "Be careful with Mello."
"I will and thanks, Near."
We got home soon enough. The entire time Matt and Mello argued about whether my car was teal or blue. It was actually Tahiti green, but who cares.
"Wow, your work was boring, Marsh. I was expecting something more fun, but no, it's boring" Mello said as soon as we walked in the door.
"Sorry my work is not as interesting as the mafia." I said walking into the kitchen. I made myself some dinner, pasta and marinara.
"How did you know I was in the mafia?"
"Halle told us, and I read your and Matt's files." I said nonchalantly.
"I wish I could eat food." Mello said sitting across from me at the table while I ate.
"When you're alive, I'll buy you some chocolate. Near said you like chocolate." I said eating my food.
"Thanks, for this and well trying to bring us back to life." Mello said giving me a small smile.
"It's really no problem. Besides, I kind of wanted to anyways." I said looking down at my food.
YES! Another chapter finished. Please Review!
