Near returned not five minutes later with two of his laptop. Right when he put one down on Matt's desk he immediately went to work. Near just sat by with his eyes on Matt's hands as they type on the keyboard furiously.

"Near if this works I'm going to need you to have a word document open. After that you and me will switch computers, you read out loud and ill type what you say." Matt said and Near went to work on his second laptop. It only took Near a minute for his document to be open and ready, but he was patient as he always was while waiting for Matt to get on the mainframe. Once it was open and Matt went onto the right page, he automatically slid the laptop to Near and got the other one with his hands on the keyboard ready to type.

"Updated on May 5th. Subject of project M-07-34 is still refusing to take daily dosage. Had to get guards to restrain him. I went in to talk to him and subject remained silent. After I gave him his dosage he said few words and fell asleep. If subject continues to remain incorporative, then we might have to resort to more drastic measures." Near read and saw Matt finish typing almost as soon as he stopped reading.

"Those reports go back all the way to March, scroll up to the screen and start on the first update." Matt said to him and Near began reading again.

"Project M-07-34 has begun operation. Subject of the project has been retrieved from his specific place. Subject is now in holding cell, refused to take dosage. I have told subject about the advantages of dosage. Subject still refused to listen and tried to harm me with his chair but was restrained before he did any real damage. We will begin work immediately."

"Updated on March 2. Subject blockaded himself in his room by pushing his bed up to the door. Took more than four guards to push him and the bed aside until he was restrained and given his daily dosage. This time subject started to yell out profanities. I have warned him that things will only get worse if he continues to act this way." Near read and was about to read the third update, but the computer was locked out.

"Wow I actually did a better job this time than I thought. But we only got three more updates, we need to re-read this stuff and list out specific clues about what is coming off of this stuff." Matt said and threw a pencil and paper at Near.

"Yes, I think that would be best for us to do that." Near said and they both started to read and list off specific clues. After about ten minutes they stopped and decided to share what they found out.

"Well, the subject of this project is a boy, and whoever the person who is controlling this project is one of the people who have actual access into the Whammy's mainframe." Near said and Matt nodded.

"There are only three people who have access on there, and those people are L, Whammy, and Roger." Matt said.

"It couldn't be Roger since he is always in his office reading and yelling at kids. And I don't think Whammy is the main subject either because it said in the most updated report that whoever went in there had to restrain the subject, and I think the only one of the three that is physically able to do that type of thing is L. Now the question is, who is the subject?" Near said and saw that Matt looked a little distracted.

"Matt is something wrong?" Near asked and Matt snapped out of his trance and shook his head at Near's question.

"Well, I was just thinking. The reports started two months ago, and it basically is saying in the reports that the subject is clearly someone who has strong will and is not someone who gives up easily. There's only one person I can think of that is just like that." Matt said and Near knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Matt, Mello was named dead two months ago. You saw his body in person." Near said and Matt got up and started to pace around his room.

"That's the thing Near! Think about it, what is all of this is a setup from L? What is he is really alive and out there somewhere? Near, L is the type of person who lies to people and you know it. He has lied to hundreds of people while working on cases, why would this be any different?" Matt said.

"You are right about that, there is a possibility that the subject is Mello. But there is also the chance that there is someone else in there. I don't think that we should jump to conclusions yet." Near said.

"I know, I know. But you still have to keep it in mind that it could be Mello in there!" Matt said rather loudly and was shushed by Near so that the other orphans didn't hear Matt through the walls.

"I will Matt, but I think it is best that we do not try to find out any more about this for at least three days." Near said and Matt almost exploded but reminded himself to be quiet.

"Three days! Are you crazy? Near I can't wait that long, what if it is Mello? I'm not waiting three days for more bad stuff to happen, we need to start investigating it now!"

"Yes Matt I understand your concern about this. But like I said it might not be Mello. The other thing is that if you hack into the mainframe too much, L is sure to investigate it and it can lead us back to you and to me since both of our computers have been on the mainframe now. If we do not leave it alone it will only be worst for both of us." Near said and finally got Matt to calm down.

"Fine, but I'm still going to keep going over the updates and see if there is anything more for me to find out." Matt said and Near took this as an opportunity to say something.

"Matt, I don't think it is best for you to fill your time investigating it. I now that you are very concerned since it could be Mello in there. But remember this Matt, they buried Mello two months ago. You have to think if they didn't put Mello in the coffin then what did they put in there?" Near said.

"What do you want me to do? Dig his coffin back up?" Matt asked.

"I never said that you had to do something so drastic, but if they didn't bury him then what did they put In there. If you want to dig it back up and see for yourself go ahead. If you need assistance then I will help you just tell me. I will be back at the same time In three days, don't do anything drastic in that time." Near said and took both of his laptops back and walked out the door.

Matt cleaned up the evidence of him being there, hid the clue papers, and then laid down in his bed, thinking about the possibility of it being Mello. He looked across the room where all of Mello's stuff still was. After Mello died, Matt found one thing that caught his interest, a journal. It was hidden in the one place that was never looked at, under Matt's bed. Matt thought it was funny that something Mello didn't want him to find was hidden under one of his things. But Matt actually decided to clean one day and found it.

When Matt first saw it, he thought it was just one of Mello's bibles that got lost because he thought he had seen him with it a few times when he walked into the room and knew how Mello was on his religion.

But then he started to look through it, and when he figured out what it was, he put it on the other side of the room with Mello's other stuff since he didn't think he should mess with his property.

He fell asleep after lying in his bed for a good hour.

A bright computer light could be seen in the dark room. There was nothing else in that room, nor any other room in the apartment except for the computer on the bedroom floor. Blackout curtains blocked any sunlight from going in, and from any people seeing in.

On the floor a small raven haired man none other than L sat, trying to fix the bugs in the Whammy's house mainframe.

"Watari, the mainframe has been hacked again, that's two days in a row. Do you think someone is trying to get information?" L asked his lifetime caretaker as he came in with more cake for the pale man on the floor. He did not respond.

"Hmm, no matter ill track both of them." L said and pressed a button on his laptop. A few seconds later a map popped up on his computers screen and L called Watari back into the room.

"Watari, it seems that both of the hackings have come from your own orphanage." L said and pulled up the map so that Watari could also see it.

"There is only one person I know who can manage to hack into the mainframe, but that person seems to have got a little too friendly with someone else. Watari make plans for us to fly back to England I think I need to have a chat with Matt and Near." L said and turned off the laptop, making the apartment pitch black.
