Recover

After months, the case was officially closed. The women that were missing were officially deseased. And so were his accomplices.

However, way you put it. Near was at the point of letting Kira just do what he wanted, now. Prisons were closed in every county, especially those closest to New York. Nobody seemed angry. People got out more, like they did decades ago.

Because crime was low and apparently nonexistent. The media had hardly anything to report other than passing Kira's memo. Well, Alex didn't forward anything to them. So, the memo must have been their way to still get any views.

And since people supported Kira, more than before. It became apparent that anything reported to him, was positive. And people hated anything negative. If you were reported any bully or troll online, on the Kira made web page. You only needed to post their name and picture. And / or attached it. And Kira responded. Oh did he respond alright.

People randomly dropped like flies. And Near didn't find it easy to ignore. However he didn't seem bothered much. People did in fact seem happier. But it was just fake. And sometimes seemed out of place. Maybe even paid to speak good of Him.

Near scratched the plate, with the fork. As he picked at the last piece. Well, it was stuck on the plate. And he was bored, again.

"Kira,... I can only conclude that there is no way. The notebook can be handed to just about any one else. And again, the process continues. The problem stays. It won't go away ever."

Sara stood next to Alex, she looked at Alex's eyes. As Alex looked at her's.

" Well, Near. Seems like you can officially close this place up. Make a restaurant or a store out of the space. "

He looked over.

" I been thinking. Alex, why so sudden. When we caught Kira, he dies and another Kira rises?"

"Must be, that he either worked for the real one or... Or he passed it over to someone else."

"You're obviously right. This is why I ask myself if it's even worth continuing this."

"I gave you two options."

"Too small for a restaurant worth eating at. And too big for a simple store."

"Nope. Seems spacious for any or..."

"Hotel?!" Fred suggested.

"I'm looking for other possibilities... Sara."

"Oh come on.."

She opened her mouth.

"Is that a request?"

Fred and Daquan giggled like school girls in the background.

"Prevert. I meant Come on as in C-o-m-e-..."

"Sara, don't make me go over there and c-o-m-e on you."

Alex narrowed his eyes.

"You better be joking, Near."

"Am I?"

Sara blushed.

"You better be!"

Butler came around and placed himself in the middle; as the other two pulled Alex away. Near was ready to punch.

"Alex, don't disrespect Near Sama. Or else you'll be fired."

"Are you serious?"

"Hehe... I suggest you start looking around for another job... Preferably a low wage one. Maybe you'll change your damn attitude..."

"Fuck you!"

"McDonald's is always hiring."

"Fuck!"

"Pizzas don't deliver themselves."

"Fucking Hell..."

"Okay Near, that's enough."

Daquan patted Alex on the back.

"Mane, you nearly got yo self a heart attack. Brotha, you got ta take it smooth... You can't escalate that all the time."

"Yeah, and we don't know if Near and Sara really did have sex or not."

Near and Sara, were looking at one another. Blushing.

"Gahhh..."

Alex wanted to get him, too.

At the same time, Light was still mourning Misa's second Death. He looked at the Beach waves.

(Misa loved the beach. We would go and walk around on the sand. And talk for hours. I know, I wasn't happy at first. But after a while, I came to realize how much I loved you. And after what we did for our daughter, was the greatest form of love a mother could ever give. Giving up her own life for her sake...

I will miss you, forever this time.)

He sat there, as he finally released the ashes he had collected months ago.

The house, and his family were killed and destroyed, like Misa had told him.

((Greatest form of Love.))

He kept the notebook with him. It was a pink notebook. The letters were black and in Japanese. The only names Misa had ever written down in this were of Gonzalez and family.

He only held it, looking at the heavens.

That same night, the media reported that Gonzalez was indeed the one who had done all those murders. It was a Documentary, based off some student who was really into this stuff. And a self declared detective.

Sara was impressed, as Near said nothing. It was obvious that he was thinking of something else. Alex was home, despite not having sex for a while with other women. I wanted some sugar. He saw numbers of chicks in his contact list. He was ready to call one. Just one.

While thinking of Sara.

(No, I have a hard time convincing her already as it is... I can't ruin this a second time...)

His finger, nearly pressed on one of those names.

Near, looked at the time, got up and dragged Sara.

Near got in first, and Sara held herself, against the door. She didn't want to go in. Near, yanked the chain, pulling her inside.

"I won't go in with you. "

Near only looked her over, and got in.

At the bed, he got under the blanket. And noticed her get up and go for the recliner.

He sighed. He wasn't going to fight with her. She was being as annoying as she was before.

Time passes again. And the Media reports, on dead Priests, Bishops, and Pastors. The time was going short, people were waking up to the Catholic Lies. That kept getting into the light.

"Rise against the Machine, Eh?"

"Reference?"

"You have good taste."

"Bro."

"Decades..."

Sara and Near sat, in a coffee shop, right around. It was nearly Fall. And Near and Sara acted similar to a odd married couple.

Near looked very interested.

Alex walked in, but by this time he was already fired from his job with Near. He worked in the coffee shop and as he spotted them. He had the fantastic idea of walking over there.

"You want any more Coffee, Bastard?"

"Alex!"

Alex accidentally spilled in onto his Near's groin area. Yea, accidentally.

"Alex?!" Sara got up, and gave Near some napkins, and wet small wipes she had in her purse.

"May I have a word with your Manager, Alex?"

"It was an accident."

"No, it wasn't. You don't accidentally burn someone's dick."

People were looking.

"Quit attention seeking."

The Manger came around the front.

"What happened around here?"

"Apparently, your employee is lacking peoples skills. I demand you fire him."

"Well, sorry for the inconvenience... But I can't just fire him for that."

"He burned my crotch with hot water."

People were laughing and video recording it, YouTube Live.

"Again, Sir. We're Sorry for the inconvenience. I promise you, this won't happen once again."

He looked at Alex.

"It better not, since he needs pennies."

The people went crazy. They loved it.

Near tugged Sara along. And Alex only watched, angrily. Nearly throwing his stupid apron off. And run after her.

That night, as he was out of his shift. He kicked his door, slammed it and began to cry. For the first time ever had he cried over someone.

((Fucking fuck!))

Ryuk only watched him, go at it. He threw several things off the shelves, and yanked a few things out of place.

"Well, tough day at work, huh?"

"Shut up. Shut the fuck up."

Ryuk chuckled.

"Were you raped by black men, while you walked home?"

In case you're wondering, Alex sold his car, by this time. To keep with expenses.

Ryuk laughed harder.

Alex snapped.

"I'm horny!"

"Well, damn. Son... You were just raped by a group of thugs and here you are asking for more?"

Ryuk lost his shit.

"You sick homo, fuck... Always pinning me with your homo erotic fantasies."

Ryuk lost his shit again.

"Fucking fuck."

"Okay,... *laughing* Okay..."

"I am sick and tired of Near. I want him gone. I want Sara here."

Ryuk was still chuckling through his pointy

teeth.

"Near is nothing, but an nuisance."

"Look... *Giggles*... I could do, for a Price. I'll get rid of Near, for ya. But like I have told you before... You must... *Laughs*.. You must give up half of your lifespan."

Ryuk couldn't stop laughing.

"I have told you no, many times already.

" Then no deal. You'll have to break your head even more no. Since now, you have less excess to Near's real name. Unlike you, I know his real name. But since I don't like you... I will never tell you that. "

" Piece of shit."

"Your momma after she gave birth to ya."

"Fuck off with that bullshit. My mom was a good woman and mother."

"Whatever you say... You didn't turn out to be that great. Nor did your angry little brother."

"Mason who?"

"Exactly... *Laughs*... You need to break a leg, for that info. I won't do it, unless you fuck yourself over."

"Fucking fuck."

"Still thinking about that?"

Lost this shit, once again.

Alex thought long and hard. Slammed his fist on the hard counter.

"I need to get my old job back."

"Good start. But regardless, Near won't give any of you his real name. He's in love with Sara and to this day, even she doesn't know."

(Near's in love with Sara.)

Alex got angry.

"Two can play that game."

Alex had a dark aurora form, darker than before.

(She's in love with Kira... I must let her know, I must. I'll win for sure.)

Alex smirked. His eyes glowing red.

Ryuk only watched him, as his demeanor changed quickly.

Seeing that, Near was usually inside, it was going to be hard to cross them.

Alex eventually met this young lady along the way. She liked going into the Coffee Shop, every day or every other day since that.

Nothing much happened other than chit-chat. She was interested in the Kira Case, herself. She wanted to meet Kira, and eventually she didn't give a specific indication off from that. Alex only hoped, she could get a chance to go in and work for Near.

He went to her studio, after his shift was over. And she was pleased. She didn't really think, that the relationship would escalate this quickly.

"I honestly only came over, because I am Kira."

She was shocked and amazed.

Her red hair, matched with his eye glow.

"I want you to get as much background on Near."

"If only... If only I could be allowed in."

"You already submitted the application, didn't you?"

"Of course I did."

"You amaze me."

As he stepped in closer.

"Together we can probably Change the World."

Her eyes lit up.

Ryuk was not so happy. But at least he had forgotten about using Sara.

"Maybe next time."

Alex, left right then and there. She went to bed, expecting something extra.

The next evening...

"You damn fool... At least... At least you're not going to use Sara."

(Sara..)

"So, I don't mind... And it will keep Light at ease. Knowing that, too."

"Light?..."

"Sara's Papa... But you'll probably never meet him. Don't worry about that."

Light swirled around. As a matter of fact, just about anywhere Alex was, after Sara got her memory erased.

"Worried."

Alex chuckled.

"Just don't say, I never told you. If you ever do get to meet him. Face to face."

Alex laughed hard.

"Hmph... Perhaps, it got you excited. Wasn't expecting that."

"Ryuk, stop...*laughs*... You got me in a good mood, though."

A call came around at the same hour.

"Alex, apparently my application was denied... Near thinks I'm not capable of working with him."

"Ah, Near is Sexist... I suggest you protest in the Upcoming Woman's March."

"That would be a start... But I think he may be right."

"Don't give in to the Man. Stand up against him."

"Alex, I'm not really into Feminism. But I can see what you're coming from... It could only ruin another possibility in the future. Many women have ruin their lives over such movements and misconduct. I don't want to ruin anything right now. I just finished Schooling, I don't want a bad record. "

" Harsh."

" Look Alex. Seems to me he is looking for someone, though. I think you should ask for your job, back. "

" That... Near would most likely not want me working there again. "

" Are you sure? "

" Let's just say... I have a better chance of getting a promotion at my current job, then getting that one back. "

" But you said, you took one of the Biggest Cases, to date. How can you not be allowed. You single handedly punched the guy. And he saw you... Well, that's what you told me. "

" That... Near is a rough bastard, though. "

" Nothing wrong with trying. "

"Okay. Well, bye for now."

"Bye."

It clicked.

He laid and rested his head. On the Recliner. Folded his arms above his head.

"Priscilla is such a great girl."

Ryuk laughed.

"Good to see, you don't want Sara anymore."

He threw something at Ryuk's direction. Went right through him.

Made Ryuk laugh.

While Sara was looking over some of the paperwork that Near had left on the table. She noticed a printed picture of a child. With a black dress and white under blouse. Similar to the one she wore herself when she was that age.

She noticed the hair was kept back, similar to how Kyoto would do her hair, every morning at the Orphanage.

"Weirdo creepy Prevert."

"What now? "

He shook his head.

"Why did you have this picture of a little girl, sick Prevert?"

Near spat out his tea.

"What?!"

He took a glance as she pushed it to his face.

"That... Why are you touching my old reports?"

"Oh, so you are... You confirmed it. You creepy paedophile! I can accept you for being a creepy Prevert in other ways. Because we're all adults here... *Sobs* But... But... This? Oh my God, Near... *Tears* Why?"

Near was confused as heck. Not once has it ever crossed his mind to think of children that way, nor touch any of them. He worked away from children.

" I... I'm sorry.. "

" Sorry doesn't cut it. You're going to have to report yourself to Kira! "

The other two laughed.

Near was so confused, and only placed his hand on his neck.

"I don't know what to say... I mean I didn't know having a picture would be that extreme... I... I assume a dads can be considered as such, as well... Then..."

She looked at the picture one more time.

"This is your daugh-?"

(Wait a minute... This was me!)

"Prevert!"

"What?!"

"This wasn't just some other girl... This was me! I know you're not my real long lost father!"

*Sobs*

Near sighed.

"I think, it's time I tell you about that."

She stopped sobbing, sniffed and looked over at him.

He sighed.

"I was called, on gloomy morning after I had taken a bite off my toast. When a notification on my screen came up. I was annoyed. But I realized that, it was more important. I along with a few of my old trustworthy investigators at the time. Went, we were pretty much tired due to lack of sleep or skipped breakfast. Anyway, long story short... We headed to the Apartment, that was roughly three stories tall. The top floor was a part basement and part rooftop Garden Deck. The moment we got there. I knew, before we got in. Something was off with the place. Personally, I wish even to this day. I should have never went inside. I have dealt with many cases. Hence related to these events. Extreme and cold Murder Cases, but this one... This one was my Personal Worst.

I have seen a few detectives either quit or commit suicide. Anyhow, we enter. And the first thing that hit us, was the stench of Bleach. Bleach everywhere. The carpet, had dry blood stains, on the walls, door knobs, everywhere. It was disgusting. There was scat on the floors, by the kitch sink. He may of shat on the kitchen, before he left after the crimes. The second floor... When we found her body. It was cut badly. He probably killed that way, because she had struggled before death. To keep him off.

The windows, were shut with a sealant from the inside, maybe to prevent the smell from leaving. Everything was terrible as you can imagine... But one thing that struck me most was the picture. It wasn't touched, I assume. I only found it in one of the Drawers in the Master bedroom.

We found only two adult bodies, decomposing. And our first indication was that he hid that child somewhere in the yard atthe back or the roof top as soil for the plants...

Another was placed her in a bag and in his trunk or something else. We never found her... Years went by, and no word of said child. No body in the neighborhood wanted to talk. Some didn't even knew you existed. Others were more worried about what they were doing, instead of gossip. And the ones who did respond of you...

They said, one of the chillist thing... To this day, it still gives me chills...

That he most likely ate her. He was stalking her... You. And previously... One of those women, told us, that he had eaten her own son. But that was in Texas. She had recalled him. "

" What? " Both Fred and Daquan responded.

" Any thing else? "

She looked at him and then at the floor.

"I..."

"What?"

She began to cry loudly, looking away from him and the others.

"I'm... I'm sorry, Near."

He pulled his chair, wheeling his way over to her side. He slowly pulled her, she looked away.

"It's alright."

"No, Near... I am really sorry. I have called you so many different names... I feel bad for telling you all that..."

"No, you didn't know."

He placed his arm around her shoulders.

Both were looking.

Later...

Daquan went home, and as he got out his car. As he came around, to the sidewalk and pass the gate. He noticed a shadow, but didn't pay attention much to it. It like faded in the darkness.

He felt a hit behind his back. He made a quick turn, threw a air punch.

He didn't see the masked guy, he had ran off.

"What the Hell?!"

As he stood there, after closing the door. He went upstairs, to take a shower. When he noticed blood drip from a open wound. He was hit with something that cut him.

He went to clean himself and clean the wound while covering it over. He sat on the edge of the bed, and called Near over it.

Near hang up, after that message. And took note. He got off the chair, Sara followed there after.

"As we get closer... To catching Kira. He runs or switches from person to person. And now this?"

Near was mumbling to himself. As Sara wasn't listening to him. She sat on the bed, she was feeling ill.

"You look pale."

"Near, I haven't had much sun, through out the year."

Near reasoned that, because he was pale himself. He was calm and rather slow.

Alex got home, he took off his stupid work hat. Threw his coat, to the side. Sat down, to rest himself for a while. He looked over at his favorite bottle of liquor.

Got up and poured some in a glass. Sat back down and took sip after sip. Eventually, he was too drunk. It was Friday, so he didn't care. About going to work or not. He wanted to forget all those annoying customers.

November 3rd, 2024

"Happy Birthday!"

Near looked over at the two of them greeting her, with small gifts.

"Oh, that... I forgotten about that."

She smiled a bit.

Near narrowed his eyes.

(It must be, because Alex isn't here?... Is that the reason why, she is like this for time and time again? ... I guess... She really does love him...)

Near looked the other way.

Daquan hugged and held held her.

"Mmm... I hope you the best."

She smiled a bit.

"Hey, hey. I want to hug her, too."

He grabbed her.

"Happy 19th!"

She was blushing a bit.

"Hey, man... I want to hold her again!"

"No."

Near looked annoyed. As he noticed how they kept having excuses to touch her body.

Daquan, as Near was watching. Went from her waist and grabbed her butt. She was giggling and suddenly stopped, looked at him all confused.

He looked at her, and released slowly. As Sara looked down and away, blushing. Near was upset.

Daquan, looked up at the ceiling and slowly pulled himself away. She only walked over to the chair. Near wasn't keeping his eyes on her, he looked at the screen.

"Daquan, you didn't catch the man's face?"

"Oh that..."

He put his hand around the spot he was cut.

"No."

"Well, I can't really start on that, based on the lack of information given."

"Well, my suggestion would be to think a solution on changing our time shifts. We could get out a little earlier."

"What time would be great?"

"I suggest, seven pm."

"Fine."

"Really?"

"I never said, you guys had to leave very late... I always said, you choose your hours."

"You said, that was too early."

"I don't really care. Kira is a problem. But I'm not worried about it much."

"Alright, alright mane."

Sebastian came into the scene. Right at the same time. And brought her a similar cake, to Near's when it was his birthday in August.

Small, with strawberries and raspberries around it. And glazed in chocolate, banana pudding inside, and sliced pecans.

Her mouth was wide open.

"Oh my, looks really good."

"Happy Birthday, Miss."

He opened his arms, and she gave him a warm hug. He was the only one that didn't feel the urge, he was Fatherly. So, he had mega respect for her.

Near appreicated that about him. Hadasmall smile on his face.

The Security, came in, unexpected to them. He hardly ever came around as a matter of fact, this was the second time all year round.

"Near. Someone is here to speak with you."

Near stood up. And removed the handcuff, from his side, locked her in place. She stayed sitting down, and began to bite the cake slowly.

He stepped out the room, into the hallway and followed the Security to the main entrance.

" Alex?! "

" I could have called sooner, but I doubt you would have answered it."

"Sorry, but I have stopped looking for new hirers... I'm not going to be accepting applications at this moment."

"Hey, Near. Did you forget that I helped out many times?! Its not fair, for you to treat me like this. I been your best Detective to date."

"Well, technically. I had many great detectives in the past. And none of them, ever did what you did."

"Oh, because lets recall that it was you who decided to sleep with my Girlfriend."

Near looked up at the ceiling.

"You were the one who should be sorry. With all the things you did. And I won't think, of you any less, if you don't. I can forgive and forget, but you would be an idiot to let me completely go off. When you know you can't easily replace me so soon. Unless you're willingly to wait another ten to twenty years from now, in your diapers. Wetting your damn self. "

Near looked at him.

" Well, say something! I'm giving up on you. "

" Alex, I suggest you get Anger Management if you really want to work for me. "

" Fine. "

" You can come back, tomorrow. "

" Why not, now? "

" It's past Noon. "

" I want to see Sara."

Near typically lead the way.

She licked the spoon. By the time they came inside.

She looked over, and noticed Alex.

She lit up.

" Alex! "

Near narrowed his eyes. As he pulled his self to get the handcuff. Alex stood in front of her. He pulled her close.

"There's something I have to tell you."

He whispered, as he went to kiss her on the lips.

He released, slowly and went to her ear and whispered.

"I am Kira."

He pulled away and smiled.

She was shocked, she knelt down a bit as he pulled a bit away. Nearly picking her up. Near was only looking at her.

She was in tears, folded her hands.

"I... I... You have no idea how much I..."

He picked her up, quickly.

"You're... Oh my God... I... You're my Life, Hope and Faith."

She wrapped herself arms around him as he held her back.

Alex smiled.

Near looked away. He didn't want to keep looking.

But he looked around, when he noticed them kissing.

Near only looked at the cup in front of him and grabbed himself more sugar cubes off the bowl.

Stirring it in the hot boiled water in the cup.
