Mello's P.O.V.

"Hey Matt!" I call to him from across my room.

He is sitting on the spare bed in my room playing video games on his D.S. "Hm?" He hums.

"How about coming with me to go out for some chocolate. I'm out." I sit up on my bed and stand getting off of it.

"Sure." He stands too.

We walk out of Whammys through the gate making sure no adult sees us leaving.

I lead him down the street towards the store but it's a little bit of a walk from Whammys house. I pause when I see someone that looks to be an albino child. I don't know why but he just catches my attention.

He is walking with two other males one with messy black hair and red eyes the other with light brown hair and sea blue eyes. He smiles at something one of them says.

They walk down the street and into a crowd.

"Earth to Mello!" Matt waves a hand in front of me.

"Huh?" I turn to him.

"I thought we were getting chocolate." He looks to where I was looking. "What were you looking at?"

"Just some albino child. It's nothing really." I shrug and take the lead to the store.

Matt grunts and follows me like a lost puppy.

Near's P.O.V.

We make it to a field and we look for a place to relax.

I find a nice sunny spot by the shade in case we need to move to it and we sit on the grass.

BB goes through the bag and hands out all our favorite foods to us.

A bag of marshmallows with a bottle of water to me, a jar of jam for himself and a ham sandwich to A with a bottle of chocolate milk.

We eat and talk.

"You know Edmonton right?" A asks.

"Yeah." I say then pop another marshmallow into my mouth.

"Yes but I was thinking that if we ever need to move far away I was thinking there would be a good place." A explains. "We have been debating on this for awhile so lets settle it."

"That's a good plan. And Edmonton sounds good. What about you Near?" Beyond says and turns to me.

I nod and swallow my chewed marshmallow. "Agreed. Edmonton will be easy to hide in so it's a great place."

"Than its settled. Edmonton will be our back up plan if needed." Beyond says.

Me and A nod.

Mello's P.O.V.

Me and Matt make it back to Whammy's not getting caught at all.

Matt went to his room to play some more video games and I am sitting in the library studying so I can make sure I keep my number one spot.

I hear some students talking and I half listen to them.

"Did you hear about the killer and two thieves on the news?" One says.

"I did." The other responds.

"I bet L is on the case. There is no way the police can do this on their own unless the criminals mess up."

That caught my attention and I secretly listen in.

"Oh my gosh. You're right." The other gasps.

Their voices fade as the leave the library.

I close the book I'm reading and get up heading to the computer doing research on this case until I notice its curfew time10:30 pm. I shut down the computer and I head to my room. I change into pyjamas and I lay down on my bed pulling my covers over myself. I lay there thinking about the case but my thoughts drift to the boy I saw earlier. I'm sure he has something to do with the case but I cant prove it so I'll have to see if I can find him. I drift asleep dreaming about that albino boy.

Near's P.O.V.

A and BB asleep cuddled together and I am laying on my own bed which is really just a mattress like A and BB's bed.

I had seen a blonde out of the corner of my eye earlier today. I've seen him at that orphanage before that I pass by sometimes.

But why is that boy bugging me so much now.

I roll over to my side facing away from A and BB.

What is it about that boy? Is he a friend? A foe? A neutral party?

I don't know any of the answers. Maybe if I have time tomorrow then I should see if I can find and talk to him. I close my eyes and I try to go to sleep.

L's P.O.V

Hmmmm…. I have a feeling I should keep an eye on the three I saw in the park earlier….. they give me a feeling that they may just be a part of the case in someway…. Maybe they are the ones doing the crimes.

"Watari." I say to him as he is sitting a little ways behind me.

"Yes L?" He turns to me away from his computer.

"There is three boys I saw earlier. I'm sure they are a part of this case….." I explain their looks to him. "Check to see what you can dig up on them. We need to keep a close eye on them."

"Of course." Watari begins to type on the computer is he facing again. "Here we go. Nate River. Always After and Beyond Birthday. Says here that they live on the streets and it says here that they may be from different towns but they are living together somewhere in this town. Before they started living on the streets it was said that they are geniuses. Then theres their home towns. Nate's home town was destroyed by the deadly illness K tried to kill all with and then a bomb was dropped onto the town destroying everyone and everything. Nate survived somehow. That's all I have."

"We need to keep our eyes on them. They not only could be great succssesors if put on the right path but they must be the criminals we are looking for." I say munching on a piece of cake.

"Right. I'll get that set up right away." Watari says and does some more typing on the computer.

"Nate, Always and Beyond….. why are you doing this?
