Chapter thirteen:

"Huh?" Mihael glances back along with Nate as they pause from walking.

Mail points to a certain person who had just turned the corner.

The two look.

It's Mail's father.

"Wow." Mihael says. "That was kind of easy."

The three head over to Mail's father to begin following him.

Mail's father walks around keeping his head low and cautiously glancing around himself.

The three follow not bothering to hide since he can't see them.

Mail has gotten tense but still continues onward as if nothing is wrong.

Nate gives a slightly worried glance to the other but continues on.

Not long later Mail's father suddenly stops and spins around looking around as if sensing he is being watched.

The three wait for him to start moving again as they stand there watching him.

Mail's father keeps looking around himself almost like he is panicking. "Who's there?!" He demands.

The three continue to wait.

"Come out!" Mail's father almost yells. "Or you'll regret it!" He pulls out a knife as he keeps looking around now taking some steps backwards.

Mail suddenly starts to move forward ahead of the other two as he approaches his father.

Mihael and Nate move to follow Mail letting him take the lead for now.

Mail's father turns and starts to run in the way he was heading before.

Mail takes off after his father with Mihael and Nate taking off after him following Mail's father as he continues to run.

Mail's father skids around the corner almost skidding onto his side then he continues running until he dives into a hole of an abandoned apartment.

Mail suddenly comes to a stop outside of the apartment making Mihael and Nate have to skid to a stop to avoid running into their friend Mail.

"He's in there." Mail says staring at the building.

"Now all we need is a plan." Mihael says.

"It is most likely that he has been hiding out here." Nate points out twirling his hair.

Mihael smirks widely. "Ha! What an idiot! Led us right to his place!" He looks to his two friends. "All we have to do is tip off the police or L." He says looking excited. "Then we will be free from being dragged to Hell."

"Wait." Mail suddenly says bringing attention to him as the other two look worried and confused.

"Is it all too much for you?" Mihael asks lowering his hands that he brought up in fists in his excitement to by his side.

Mail turns to face his two friends. "I think we deserve to have a little fun at the same time." He smirks softly.

A conference is being held to warn people of a criminal.

A man dressed in a suit stands on the stand to speak to all those that gathered especially to anyone watching the news broadcast from one of the many different news people who came for this announcement. "I have news on the case of three missing kids. The police are working with L to find these three however." He slightly glances down for a second then looks up before continuing. "It has come to our attention that the three are dead. Mihael Keehl, Nate River and Mail Jeevas. This was believed to be made true when a psychic who has never met the three boys before described their spirits with witnesses right there to confirm it. However police are still searching for the bodies though they have one suspect." He holds up a picture of Mail's father. "A man named Tom Jeevas who is already wanted for abuse on his son Mail Jeevas has become the main suspect in the believed to be the murderer of the three. If anyone has any information on this man or spots him please call it in to crime stoppers. Be aware that this man is highly dangerous so please do not confront him on your own. Thank you." He then leaves the stand heading away ignoring anyone trying to get his attention. He's shared all he can about the man and the case.

Tom paces in the apartment muttering to himself as he paces. "No. No! NO!" He shakes his head. "I can't do this. I can't be caught. I can't. I can't." He stops pacing staring at the ground slightly panting as he stands there.

The cool air is silent around him as he continues to stare at the ground.

He closes his mouth swallowing harshly and turns around to his right so his side is facing the direction that had been behind him. He is looking in the same direction his side is now facing.

There on the ground is his little bedroom he has made for himself.

A sleeping bag with a few snack wrappers lying around on the ground.

Just peeking out of the sleeping bag is a ratty pillow with no pillow case.

He clenches his teeth. "What am I supposed to do?"

"Alright sounds good. After all we can't do anything to him now since he'll probably run off somewhere then it brings more problems." Mihael says in agreement. "But first things first."

"Yes?" Mail slightly tilts his head.

"We need to run and try to find L again." Mihael points to behind Mail.

The other two look and see charging demons.

The three take off away from the demons as they use their minds to remember which way to go to find L at least where they last saw him.

The demons chasing them let out a roar as they continue to chase the three.

"This way." Nate suddenly turns a sharp corner with the other two scrambling to follow. He leads them through the winding alley way that's like a maze.

In no time they leave the demons in the dust.

"Off to find L!" Mihael declares after glancing back to make sure they lost the demons he turns to face forward and picks up the pace to take the lead.

They head off now to find L.

L is sitting on an arm chair in front of the open laptop. "Where could he be." He mummers to himself.
