Matt's POV
"Look, mommy! That boy is sleeping on the bench!"
"Just ignore him, honey."
I opened my eyes and sat up. Man... my head hurt. And... how did I end up out of the HQ?
I looked up at the building before me. God... whoever put me here really knows how I work. They put me in front of GameStop, the one place I actually like. Which means this was...
"Goddammit, Mello..." I mumbled.
Then one of the workers saw me and came out. A guy about my age was smiling away. I knew him, he was the way I got the latest games without losing all my money.
"Oh...Hi, Luigi."
"Matt! A new shipment just got in! You gotta see this." He dragged me inside GameStop and showed me the PS3. "A new game just came out! You'd be the perfect person to test it!"
"Luigi! I can't!" But the PS3 was so shiny!
"Why not?" Luigi's smile faded a little.
"I made a bet, so I can't play video games or smoke until everyone loses first."
"Damn that sucks." Then Luigi grinned. "Well... we could keep this our little secret. Besides, you look like you could use a good game."
"I can't..."
5 seconds later.
"EAT LEAD, ZOMBIE SCUM! AHAHAHAHAHAA!" Yes, I was playing a video game. And smoking my first cigarette in 10 days. I would be fine as long as nobody who knows about the bet sees me.
"MATT! NOOO!" Mogi was at the door, staring in total disbelief. He dropped to his knee. "A month's salary and a week's freedom, gone."
Luigi tapped me on the shoulder. "Dude, just what was the punishment if you lose the bet?"
One of the TVs was on a news channel. It had Kiyomi Takada saying a special announcement.
"I would like to inform you that I have just finished reading the manga known as Death Note..." This can't be good. A picture of Mello and I appeared on the screen. "If you see either of these men, please hand them over to the police."
The controller slipped from my hands as I had an obvious Oh crap face on. The annoying voice of the game growled "Game over." I facepalmed. "I have to be stuck with her for a week right after she announces that? Not only did I lose my freedom and lose the bet, but I lost the game!" (Dammit Matt!)
Nobody's POV
Matsuda's cellphone rang as he and Ide drove over to the closest candy store. "Hello?"
"Matsuda, this is Aizawa. I found Near asleep in front of Toys 'R' Us. It seems like I'm still in."
Matsuda hung up, disappointed that Near didn't lose. Then the phone rang again. "Hello?"
"Matsuda..." it was Mogi. It sounded like Mogi was crying, and Matsuda could hear Matt in the background trying to comfort him. "I lost. Mello put Matt in front of GameStop, there was no way I could stop him!" There was a heavy sob. "Tell Watari to go get Kiyomi Takada so we can start the car chase..."
"HA! IN YOUR FACE, MOGI!" Matsuda set his phone on camera mode just so he can stick his tongue out at Mogi. "There was a nice sports car I've been wanting for a while, so thanks Mogi. HAHAHA!"
"Cut it out, Matsuda!" Ide scolded. "We have to make sure Mello and L haven't massacred the candy store!" But Matsuda could still see the smug look he had on.
When they saw the candy store, the smug look was gone. There were random citizens running away, a red mustang had crashed into a fire hidren, and the door of the candy store a a few very big dents in it as it lay on the floor.
"They busted the door down..." Ide said in shock. "I hope we're not too late."
They saw the shelves of the candy store in ruins, and the clerk was shivering behind the desk. All of the cake was missing from the glass cases.
"Ma'am..." Matsuda was about to ask, but Ide beat him to it.
"DID THEY EAT ANYTHING YET?" Ide blurted out.
"N-No... They're in the chocolate section..."
They saw a scene that would have made Willy Wonka both proud and scared s_-less at the same time. L had every cake in the store in a huge pile that was taller than he was. He was licking his lips and holding a fork and spoon. Mello was sitting on a throne. Made of solid chocolate. That had skulls carved all over it. And it was so tall that Mello's head brushed the ceiling while he was sitting. He looked like he was about to eat a chocolate bar. Mello and L looked at the police officers with blank stares.
"Oh crap." both of them said.
"Guys... put the sweets down and... let's go catch Kira..."
L's eye twitched. "No! I just found out who Kira is! MATSUDA IS! THAT SAME RETARD, MATSUDA! HE STOLE MY CELLPHONE, HE STOLE MY DOUGHNUT, HE ATE MY HOT-FUDGE SUNDAE, AND HE SPOILED THE ENDING OF THE MANGA, THAT SON OF A BITCH!" Then he laughed maniacally.
"Is he sugar-high?" the clerk asked.
"No, just the opposite."
Ide grabbed Mello and L by the collar of their shirts and dragged them out of the store.
"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE, COPPER!" L said as he reached out for something to grab.
"By the way," Matsuda said, "Mello, your stupid plan worked on Matt."
"CRAP! I MEAN- YES!" Mello did a victory V as Ide threw him into the car.
I'm sorry Matt-fans, but somebody suggested putting Matt in a store where they sell video games. That means, he's done for.
btw, L shouting the Matsuda is Kira... based off video (or bloopers for the video) on youtube by sonicring123 (don't sue me!)
