"Near... I need to ask you a favor..." the seventeen yer old sighed, running a hand nervously through his red-brown hair.

The white-haired boy nodded. "What is it that Matt wants?" he asked curiously.

Matt sighed. "Give this to Mello... I have to know he knows... But I can't stay here..." he said, holding out a plain white envelope with 'Mello' written in Matt's messy script on the front.

"Leave!? Matt! Mello will kill me for letting you go!" the sixteen year old boy's eyes got wide.

Matt put his hand over Near's mouth. "Shh!" he hissed. He shook his head. "Come up with something... You're clever enough to think of a situation..." he said, waving off the topic as he walked off, toward where he hid a get away car not even Mello knew about.

At that moment, an ambulance passed and Near got his bright idea. Matt was hit by a car. He created some hysteria in his tone, some tears in his eyes, and a truly upset demeanor before turning and running into the house to tell Mello and give him the envelope.
