The day was boring. Watching Rod brag and play with his toys brought some jealousy in me. It wasn't like I had tried to make a move beyond kissing but you'd expect a chocolate addict who would be horny to make some sort of move. My jealousy was interrupted by someone going to Rod interrupting his bragging.
"Shut up can't you see I'm busy" Rod said and I rolled my eyes.
"yeah busy playing with girls who probably are probably wet for your mini self to fill them with your seed" I said making Mello cover his mouth as he snickered because I was being mean calling them sluts with a subtle insult to him saying he couldn't get a regular girl. Mello looked at the person pleading his case to Rod. Then Rod blew his top.
"What?! Thats just great! What are we supposed to do with a dead hostage?" He asked and Mello was calm.
"No this will be just fine" he replied. It was like he was reenacting the episode and after that he slid down. I looked to him. "You are not to be part of the retrieval team you are still injured. Whats more she's below your level" He said and cracked his chocolate. "You are worth more than those guys" He said confusing if he meant it as my boss or this was him explaining how he felt in our relationship. Either way I was not arguing.
"You can stop it this is what leads you to be cornered" I told him in a soft whisper.
"I'm in too far too close to turn back now" Mello said and put his bitten chocolate bar close to my mouth. I took a lick as I didn't want to take much. I looked to him in worry as I knew we had to be out in November first.
"Maybe we can get you out before November." I said. He shook his head.
"No you are going to get out before it gets dangerous. I'll set you up with a hotel." He said making me jump into his arms.
"I'll stay then and use my note book" I said begging him.
"I can't let you dirty yourself like that" He said holding me and caressing my back. "It's fine it's not like I'll die. It's just a scar" He said softly trying to calm me down. I looked at him glad he was not vain enough to worry about the scars. He then placed me down. I then looked behind my shoulder and turned that direction. I knew that it was going to be that moment he had to change to avoid his death. I felt it like an icy wind that made me shiver.
I went to the place where Takimora's corpse would be. Indeed it was there. I saw he was with a broken neck. This was expertly done. I didn't know Takimora was that smart. I had my suspicions that the death note worked on possible weather the person knew how to do it or not. I was going to have to test it myself. It was one thing to not know someones face to paint it but not knowing how to do a death was another. I took the tie off. I was surprised how heavy the body was. I didn't care about the body fluids on me or that my finger prints ended up on the body. I then put him to the ground. I saw his red cell phone and picked it up. I was crossing into the realm of being an accomplice rather than an accessory
