Aizawa had given Near very detailed information. He explained how two people were detained for fifty days then released because of the thirteen-day rule. They had also found out that the director had bargained for shinigami eyes, which helped him see other people's true names. Near had asked if the first suspect had wanted to be detained. Aizawa said yes. They even found out that the director had taken both suspects, told them that they had been found guilty for being Kira one and two, and were going to be executed. The director threatened to shoot Kira then himself. Aizawa unfortunately decided that he would not willingly give out the names of these two people and they hung up. This all proved to Near and to K that Light Yagami was infact Kira. Why else would the director shoot Kira first then himself?
"K, were you listening?" Near asked to no one in particular. The rest of the men looked up, sharing glances with each other.
"Of course I was." K stated and the SPK rolled their eyes.
"It is safe to assume that Light is Kira just as we had previously believed." K said.
"Yes." Near said simply, pouring more dice.
"Near?"
"Yes K?"
"Have you had any contact with the blonde one, Mello?"
"No as a matter of fact I haven't. Why do you ask?"
"I found it odd that we haven't heard much from him since that day. It makes me wonder what his plan is in the grand scheme of things."
"I have often wondered that myself. But it is no matter, whatever it is he'll decide to do will help us that much more."
"Is he really a game piece to you?" K asked.
"No. As a matter of fact I care for Mello. It seems hard to believe but we grew up together. Even if he was serious about winning and would do all he could to obtain the place, the games we would play would excite me just as our little race is now. It's enjoying to have someone just as capable as I to play against. But no matter, the real question is: why does it matter to you?" Near asked, looking up from his dice.
"It does not matter to me; it matters to the investigation." K pointed out.
"Fair point." He played with his dice some more. Near was met with silence.
"K?"
"Yes Near?"
"Why haven't you decided to finish this? You are much more capable than I am, that is for certain. Why don't you come out first?"
"I could if I truly wanted to. Why would I though? It is not my place. Besides one is next to zero. Why would I want to be next to no one? That also makes me curious about Mello. He strives to be number one, when one is next to no one. Why? He has people who care, he's a genius, one of L's chosen successors, what more could he want?" K paused and Near looked at the screens with interest.
"But I am next to two." Near pointed out.
"Yea but does two want to be next to you?" K asked. K had a point. Mello hated Near, and because of this he truly was next to no one. " I'll leave that slot to you Near; you are better suited than I am."
"Again fair point." He paused. "I find that you are rather enjoying to talk to."
"I'll take that as a compliment and say thank you." Near smirked.
"As it was meant to but I prefer to know who exactly I am speaking to."
"Understandable."
"So given that I said as much would it be possible for us to meet?" It was K's turn to pause.
"Where and when?" K said. Near's eyes widened.
"That easily?"
"Well yes. I believe it would be beneficial to both of us if we had met. The you wouldn't be so curious and I would trust you more."
"Very well. I will tell you that in a few days' time I will be flying to Japan. Are you able to be transported there as well?" Near asked.
K chuckled. "I'm already stationed in Japan."
"Well this makes it much easier. I will contact you when I land the time and place. I trust that you will this to no one?"
"Like I have anyone to talk to in the first place." K said dramatically. Near gave a small smile.
"Then so it shall be."
