You Can Bet On It

I'm sorry about the wait I'm on vacation therefore busy and the internet here is shoddy at best which sucks. You never realize how big an addict you are until you're cut off.

Oh and to my knowledge Wired isn't a real internet café.

Triforce and Bombs

Finley is Eskarina's cameo character.

Matt POV

Mello noticed I had gotten bored while I was waiting for him to wake up a lot thanks to Beyond tattletaleing. I was bored again after watching Mello hug The Fuzz and get sleepy after talking to me. I knew he would sleep soon. "Matt maybe you should go get coffee or something. I know this can't be fun. I'll be fine but you need a breather." He smiled sleepily and I felt guilty realizing he was trying to fight the meds and stay awake for me. He blinked and almost nodded off but jerked himself awake. It was obvious he wasn't going to last much longer.

"I guess coffee sounds good. You just rest OK?" He nodded and wiggled a bit to get comfortable then held The Fuzz up to his right cheek and fell asleep. So adorable I thought as I petted his hair. I got up and went to my car then headed to Wired the internet café I sometimes visited. I liked how all the specialty drinks had a digital part in their name. My favorite was Re-Routed Expresso. Mello would probably like the RAMocha Freeze. I'd have to get him one.

I arrived and parked the car then went in. The inside had teal and white walls and the floor was a gray flat carpet. There was no one else there but the sign said they were open. It had never been a hotspot despite how cool it was but that was another good thing about it to me. I went up to the bar. A redheaded barista with purple highlights came up to me. She had a teal apron, black jeans and a black shirt. Her back was turned from me as she cleaned a blender and I saw the back of her shirt read. "You can't see me I'm a ninja" in smallish print. I cleared my throat and she turned to me in shock. I assumed this meant it had been a slow day in general and she wasn't expecting anyone else to come in for a while.

"Hey I'm Finley what can I get you?" she asked with a grin.

"Um can I have a Re-Routed Expresso and a RAMocha freeze both with no whipped cream please? Large for the RAMocha."

"Sure. Do you have a Wired Card?" she asked as she rung up the orders.

"Um yeah hang on" I got out my wallet and pulled out a card that looked like a memory chip stretched out to the size of a credit card that had "Wired" in pixel lettering on it. I handed it to her. "Here."

"OK" she chirped. She took the 2% discount off. "That will be $6.81 please." I paid her and noticed as he put the money in the register she had a tattoo of a Triforce on the back of her left hand.

"Is that a Triforce?" I asked in excitement.

She turned to me from where she was making my drink to smile. "Yup. I love The Legend of Zelda. Zelda is awesome for a damsel in distress. Poor Link is mistaken to be Zelda because of the name though."

"I know! I get so mad when people say Zelda is awesome but don't know that the GUY's name is Link!"

She placed my drink in front of me and got to work on Mello's. "Have you played Ocarina of Time?"

I nodded as I sipped then said, "ugh I want to KILL Navi. Thank goodness for the A button hiding her in Link's hat. Ugh." I shuddered.

Finley giggled. "I know what you mean. Yes Navi that log is very dangerous" she said in mock-solemnity. She finished Mello's drink and handed it to me. "So who is this one for?"

I took it and said, "my boyfriend. He's a chocolate addict."

She pouted. "Aw shoot. I figured you were Bisexual but I was hoping I had a chance."

I gave her an apologetic smile. "sorry I'm hopefully permanently taken."

Her eyebrows raised. "You're getting married? I know Governor Ukita is thinking of legalizing it in California so..." (A/N I have decided they are somewhere in southern California. If need be I will give the imaginary town a name. It is near L.A. I have decided that much. Anyway this is a fanFICTION so the government and politics there are fictional. Keep that in mind for anything like this please.)

I smiled sheepishly. "I have yet to propose. I'm pretty sure he'll say yes but now isn't the best time." Plus we need to talk badly I mentally added.

She looked sympathetic. "Oh well good luck and nice talking to you."

"You too" I said with a smile as I left. I drove to the hospital and entered then headed to Mello's room. As I reached the doorway I heard a small conference between Rod, Mello, and Beyond going on.

"We found the warehouse" Rod said. "Apparently the 'delete' was the name of the specific model of bug. It was labeled so they would know which ones to put the explosives in for the phone lines."

"EXPLOSIVES?" I burst out before thinking. I ran in and shoved the drink into an unsuspecting Mello's hand and clutched him to me.

"Thank you, Matt but I'm safe I promise." He looked at his drink then took a sip. "Wow this is good!"

Beyond rolled his eyes. "ANYway we need to figure out where they are. The adhesive is being traced but it could still take a while. A while that we don't have."

"Matt can you get information?" Mello asked. "Is it possible you could find some illegal hotspots that we probably don't know exist and ask around to see who they think it is?"

I bit my lip. "They will know I'm going to snitch."

"Then promise you will keep all records of what they asked you private if they agree. It wasn't in your contract to keep quite I bet" Beyond spoke up.

I shook my head. "They won't believe me or will try to have me killed." I froze. "Wait... Wedy." They all looked at me curiously. "She's a professional thief, one of the absolute best, who owes me several favors. She could set to tracing it in a heartbeat."

They silently conferred by looking at each other. "Contact her" Rod ordered. Mello slurped on his drink then pecked me on the cheek. I smiled and went to my computer nearby they knew not to touch and set to it.
