A/N: I am so sorry I didn't update yesterday but my dad kicked me off the computer right as I was gonna hit upload and I asked if he could let me finish up but nooooo I had to get off…so here it is

[S's POV]

As I made my way up I started thinking again.

I knew I said that, that would be the last time I hurt my friends but I think mentally i'm hurting them by not being able to keep p and cope with all this. Having breakdowns in the middle of nothing is a sure sign of weakness…I promise that I will never hurt my friends or anyone unless provoked…ha-ha i'm making it sound as if I'm an animal. And if I ever become a hostage, ever, and I have to chose to kill a friend or be killed, well sadly I chose to be killed.

[Mello's POV]

"I hate to ask you of all people but, have you figured out who shot S yet?"

"No. When we checked the video feeds there was either nothing, black, or static." Near stated.

I thought about it for a little before coming to a conclusion. "So I'm guessing he knew they were there and that the man has done this before."

"I would assume so but if he has then why didn't he kill S and you? You told me he knew your real name, so why?"

"Maybe he was told not to, you know just to scare us, but did any of the info from S help?"

"Sorry to say but no. We always ended up back were we started."

I motioned for us to walk up the stairs as I said "Could he be under an alias? That could explain why we cant find him."

"Yes it could but then we have a problem if we want to find him." Near said as he looked over at me.

I knew what our 'problem' would be. "We need Matt's hacking ability don't we?"

"Yes, well no. We need S and Matt's ability.."

"And since we have only one that shall prove to be very difficult." I looked up the stairs away from Near.

"Yes and no one from Whammy's has or is ready to be able to hack like those two.."

He continued talking but I tuned him out trying to think t o myself.

Matt…where the hell are you when we desperately need you. I know you are out there god dammit, but I have no idea where out there you are. Please Matt just come home to us. To your god damn fucking family! I felt immense pain rise up from my fingers, hand, and arm.

Following my arm I saw that my hand was in the wall. I removed it and say a huge hole where it had been. I turned away from the wall and headed up the rest of the stairs to check back in on S.

A/N: i'm sorry there wasn't much to this chapter but I promise there will be more in the next…well more like hopefully
