Light trailed behind Misa with downcast eyes as the scent of both Matt and his sister became stronger. Misa opened the door with a key and nodded to Sayu, letting Light pass through the entrance.

"Light! I was so worried!" Matt moved so quickly it seemed as if he was only an orange flash. Before Light could speak Matt had thrown his arms around Light, hugging tightly. "I'm so glad you're okay!" His eyes drifted to the image of Misa before growling lowly. "What is she doing here?"

Light glanced back towards Misa with saddened honeyed eyes. "Misa is helping me. Please don't growl at her."

"But! But she –!"

Light shook his head slowly. "She? No. Our real problem sat not 25 yards from us. L was here." Matt stared at Light before widening his own emerald eyes before lowering them away from Light's gaze. "He was here and he left us. Look, I don't know what happened between you two, but it might be time to start considering that they may be our only allies right now. Traded for whoever Shea's mate is."

Matt gulped slightly, "Then, there's someone I need to show you."

The sun fell slowly over the horizon, casting brilliant orange and crimson over the island. Matt walked next to Light with his hands in his pockets. "I'm sorry. I can't say I know a whole lot about the situation as a whole."

The brunette nodded silently as the sun reflected copper hues from his hair. "It's not your fault, Matt. So this… Brian. Is both L's brother and Shea's mate?" Light stopped and stared up to the sky that was beginning to darken as some of the brightest stars began to shine. "And, he was a key player in L's old investigation team?" The red head nodded silently allowing Light to catch himself up to speed with what him and Sayu had briefed him on. Light nodded before taking a deep breath in through his nose. "So… Is Shea the only one who hasn't lied to me?"

Matt shrugged, "I haven't. And I'm telling you. L wouldn't have ever stopped looking for you. He lo –"

"Stop!" Light sneered out. "I don't care. If he is trying to find a way to bring me home? He'll find that Shea isn't an easy person to negotiate with. She gave him the easiest way out of this. One day, he'll have to grow up! He can't win every angle!" The brunette groaned in frustration before storming inside the manor, with Matt following quickly behind him with his head hung.

The sun fell beyond the horizon, giving way to the inky, star filled sky. The eldest alpha scented the air before sighing quietly. "This is now or never. There are few scent traces on the island. As Near theorized, The WidowMakers are here. Nice work, pup."

Near happily grinned. "Right. We're unsure of their numbers or their armed capabilities. So we need to be as silent as possible. I think it best if Mello and I went for Light. We'd be far less inconspicuous. A little harder to detect. Or as L would say, live bait. B will draw most of their attention. When I last scouted with L, Matt was unharmed. He is more than likely locked up."

Mello growled lowly, "I only came for Matt."

Near sighed and rolled his eyes, "Fine. Subject B should look for answers about any possible movements. Mello will go for Matt and I will go for Light."

Beyond scowled and crinkled his nose, "I don't think it's smart to split up."

Near started to look into the windows of the building. "Can you imagine the attention three alphas would draw moving together? That would be fine if this wasn't a silent mission. Even so… the likelihood of this succeeding is less than fourteen percent."

Beyond brought his thumb up to his lip, that reminded both of the younger alphas distinctly of L. "Right. However, we shouldn't go in blind. We at least need to scout out the exterior and try to get a lay of the land before trying to blindly stumble through the dark."

The other two nodded in agreement. Mello pointed the directions each should go, "We'll meet back here when we've gathered our information."

Beyond circled around into the gardens, keeping low, his eyes fell on the gazebo. The small structure had been completely covered in scarlet carsons. A stubborn rose that refused to bloom unless constantly cared for. The ravened alpha gasped slightly under his breath when a woman stood up from a crouching position. Ducking behind a large white lilac shrub he tried to choke back his call towards her. 'It's you…'

Shea stood and glanced over her shoulder before smirking deviously. 'You were always terrible at sneaking around.' She sighed happily as she clipped a few of the dying roses from their tangled vines.

Quickly retreating back to the dock they had originally landed on, Beyond sat onto the rickety wooden structure and stared at his reflection in the water. "What am I doing?"

Mello slowly walked up to Beyond. "I saw Light. He's on the southwest end of the home.

Both men glanced over to Near who seemed to be breathing heavily. "Matt is being held on the west of the manor, I think the woman with him saw me. I'm not very good at this."

Both alphas rolled their eyes at the youngest. Beyond nodded then stood, "I believe I was very close to being detected, if not exposed."

Mello growled out, "Are you guys kidding me?! Am I the only one who didn't get spotted?!"

Beyond clamped his hand over the blonde's mouth and growled in a hushed toned, "Shut the hell up! Do you want to be killed? Alright. There is an entrance at the rear that faces the harbor. The gardens are compromised, one of them is out there. Alright. So Near, head southwest once in the manor, according to Mello that is where Light is being held. And Mello, follow your nose. Go west. I'll head up that way but I'll take the south way. It seems all the living corridors are in the same spot." Beyond started before stopping abruptly causing the other two to walk into him. "Right. Then there's this." Beyond handed a .9mm pistol to Mello. He then waved a couple of switchblades up and grinned wolfishly. "I must prefer close combat."

Mello nodded and took the gun tucking it in the same spot Beyond once concealed it. In the back hem of his pants.

Once inside they all darted up the stairs, low and silent, then separating at the top. Mello made directly for where Matt was. Gently pushing the door open he walked in with the gun held up on Sayu, his voice was quiet but laced with intent. "I don't want any trouble. But I will put you down to get my mate back."

Sayu broke eye contact at the scent of the pheromones, held her hands up and nodded silently, slowly dropping to her knees. "Just don't hurt anyone here. They're all my family."

Mello reached his hand out as Matt started at it. "Mels… I…" Receiving a harsh growl, Matt instinctually followed Mello. "I'm sorry. I hope we get to work together again once everyone has been properly informed."

Sayu smiled sincerely, "It would be an honor."

Mello snarled slightly, grabbing Matt by the hand and dragging him out by the hand. As they exited they collided with Near. The white haired boy was in a panic, "Light wasn't there!" Mello growled and pulled Matt along.

"Regroup. We at least have Matt. I'm sure he was there!" The three of them flew down the stairs and rounded the corner to be met with the image of the Widow herself. She stood with an absolutely calm face, wearing what looked to be a tighter fitting traditional ninja outfit. Her legs wrapped in ebony silencing any of her movements. A sheathed katana laid rest on her right hip wrapped in black, an ebony wakizashi tied to her waist and strapped to her back and tilted for easy access.

"I can do this! I can end it now!" Mello pulled the gun and lined the sights. Only to hear a gun cocking next to Near's head.

"Not too smart, thought you would have learned by now." A higher pitched voice spilled out like silk. A blonde with shining sapphire eyes grinned from behind the barrel of a gun.

Near shook his head and shouted, "Do it! It's worth it! Shoot her!"

Mello placed his finger on the trigger and began to slowly exhale. Shea crouched slightly, readying her muscles. Both Mello and Shea widened their eyes when Light darted in front of her holding a gun towards the two intruding alphas. "Not tonight. If you want her, you'll have to go through me." His amber eyes narrowed, the dim lighting gave them a slightly rust shine.

Beyond flinched when he heated the commotion downstairs. "Busted." He pressed on, looking for any more information on what the WidowMakers could be up to. He opened the last door in the hall. His eyes fell into a deep blue room with white fixtures.

Glancing around the room, lifting papers and throwing assorted pieces of parchment around, he began to scent the air still slightly haunches over the desk. "Not a good move. Show yourself!" Beyond startled slightly when the bedskirt moved next to his feet and a quiet cry was heard. Growing annoyed with the activity, he reached under the bed and pulled a struggling child out from underneath. Yanking the small boy up, he growled loudly. "Who are you!"

The small boy opened his eyes, causing the enraged alpha to slowly drop to his knees while crinkling his brow in anguish. Mouth hanging open slightly, eyes wide with disbelief. After a few moments of absolute speechlessness, the raven finally spoke. "How… How old are you?"

Ruby eyes stared back into crimson pools of confusion. "I'll be six years old when the leaves start to fall. In September."

Lost for words, Beyond pulled the boy into his arms. He felt his jaw quiver as a mass of distress pheromones were released outwards. He pulled the young boy's body tighter into his embrace and took a deep breath. Lemon and pomegranate. "My… My son…"
