The next day, when Beyond came in to feed his two captives breakfast and opened the door to Matt's cage, Matt tackled him. Matt took the keys out of Beyond's hand and threw them to Mello. Mello unlocked his cage and pointed a gun at Beyond's head. "Tell me where Near is or I'll blow your fucking head off, B." Mello said in an extremely dangerous tone of voice.

"Heh, you really want to know where he is?" Beyond said with a chuckle. Mello taped him with his gun as if to emphasize the threat he had just made. "Well, if you really want to know where he is, I suppose I can tell you. After all, I think it's time to end my little joke. He's in our stomachs. You see, I slowly dismembered the boy and cooked him. What do you think I've been feeding you?" Mello droped to the ground when he heard this. Instead of rapeing the man Mello loved, Beyond had tricked them into eating him. this was too much for Mello to take.

"No, Near can't be…."

"Well he iiissss!" said Beyond in happy, almost musical way "oh well, you guys can go now anyway. I think I have enough footage to send to L." Mello was extremely quiet and then he finally spoke.

"L….is fucking dead!" he said quietly at first and then screamed the last bit as loud as he could. Beyond's look of cheer joy at telling the two boy's the gruesome news about their friend instantly went away after Mello said this.

"But how could he…die?"

"Kira fucking murdered him. Kira wormed his way into the task force and murdered him."

"L…why?" said Beyond suddenly breaking down into tears, for it was at that moment that he realized the he had loved L all along and had never realized it. Mello brought the gun to his head.

"Mello, don't do it!" yelled Matt. Despite Matt's cries for him to stop, Mello pulled the trigger. As everything went black, Mello smiled. He could finally be with Near. Mello closed his eyes and was dead. Matt decided to leave. There was no point in staying here, and somebody needed to go after Kira now that the other two people in line to succeed L where dead.
