Abho sat in shock, blankly staring at his computer, which had switched itself to Google. All of the work he'd done hacking into Near's computer was now washed down the drain. That jerk! was the first thought that ran through Abho's mind. I have to get out of here, was next.
Abho hurriedly packed up everything he'd need. He'd almost fled the building when he remembered L and Light. Half of him wanted to go back and get his creations. The other half was screaming at him to get out before someone arrived to take him away. How many crimes could they charge me with? Abho wondered. Let's see. I went into a lab I didn't have permission to go into, I took samples of blood from the lab, which was stealing because it was technically the lab's property, I cloned people, though I'm not sure that's a crime, I mislead the clones, took advantage of them, messed up their memories, and arrested criminals without the proper authorization. Before Abho could continue running he heard a deep voice behind him.
"What's wrong, Mr. Abho?"
Abho forced himself to calm down. He knew how sharp L was. The detective would suspect him in an instant.
Abho turned to face L. "Nothing's wrong. I simply need to use the restroom." Wow, what a creative excuse, Abho thought. At least I didn't say I was going somewhere that's in an opposite direction. I still have a little common sense.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I really can't wait any longer. I lost track of my bladder while I was working." And with that Abho turned his back on L. "Oh yeah," he called over his shoulder as he hurried away. "I need you and Light to get ready to leave."
...
"Why are we leaving?" Light asked.
L shrugged. "He didn't say. Apparently he had to go to the bathroom really bad."
"Something fishy is going on," Light said. "And we're being kept in the dark about it." Then he yawned. "I wish this could've waited until I was done sleeping. But I don't expect a robot to understand why someone would want to sleep."
"Are you implying that I am a robot because I never sleep?"
Light rolled his eyes. "No, I'm calling the other person in the room a robot." At that moment, Abho entered the room.
"Are you ready?" he asked. L and Light nodded and the trio took off.
...
Near couldn't believe he'd been caught. And by himself. He decided someone must have cloned him. But how?
Near and his clone had fought each other for quite some time. They were equally matched and knew each other's moves. But Near had slipped on some of his own blood that was on the floor. And now he was wrapped in ropes to the point where he resembled a mummy. He was trapped in a closet, hidden under some of the stuff that was being stored in there.
Meanwhile, Near's clone was ordering the three SPK members to go somewhere that Abho wasn't at. Abho had been fleeing with L and Light when he devised a plan. He had cloned Near just in case but hadn't brought the clone to life until now. He had run back to the lab, forgetting about L and Light, and given life to the albino after messing with his memories. The Near clone now had all of Near's memories but believed he was the true Nwar. He thought Near was an evil clone that needed to be stopped. He planned to kill Near once the SPK was off Abho's back.
How did he clone Near you ask? When Near was in the Yellow Box Warehouse twenty years ago, one of his hairs fell out, floated through the air, and landed on Light's blazer. And that's where it stayed for twenty years. And then when Abho was collecting some of Light's blood, he noticed the white hair, which stood out against the color of the fabric it was stuck to. He knew it was Near's and took it. He made a clone of Near before cloning Light and L. And the reason he used L and Light's blood instead of their hair is because blood works better than hair.*
Now Abho continued escaping with L and Light, though he was more relaxed than he had been earlier.
The three men went all the way to the other side of Japan, which took a really long time. But now they were safe.
...
"Why did we have to leave so suddenly?" Light asked Abho once they were all settled in. "And why did we travel so far?"
"We left because Near was after me," Abho said. "That's also why we traveled so far."
"Mr. Abho, you're back!" said a female voice. An unfamiliar woman - unfamiliar to L and Light - came into the room on her way to some other room. She gasped when she saw L and Light. "Is this them?"
"Yes it is. Remember what I told you about Light? You must not say it."
The woman nodded quickly.
"Good. Now go inform everyone else of my arrival."
The woman obliged and hurried to tell everyone else in the building, which L and Light had realized was much bigger than the others they'd been to and more than just a lab. It was made like a large house. People could live in it.
"There are other people here?" Light asked.
"Yes. We all wanted justice when Kira stopped killing criminals, so we formed a group together, had this place made as our headquarters, and started trying to bring back Kira. When that wasn't possible we went for you two instead."
"Wow. I feel so honored to be chosen just because your fake justice couldn't be here," Light said sarcastically. "So how long am I going to be stuck here with a bunch of Kira worshippers? Isn't it bad enough that I'm constantly with you?"
"I know you two don't like Kira and his idea of justice, especially after he killed you both, but this is the best place I could think of to hide from Near."
"Speaking of which," L said. "Why was Near after you?" It was obvious that he now trusted Abho less than he had before.
"It seems he's taken a liking to Kira. He doesn't like that I've brought back opposers of Kira."
"Why would Near do that? He's the one that caught Kira. Plus he's one of my successors."
"Doesn't him being your successor make him more likely to turn out 'bad'?" Abho, a Kira supporter, asked. "Don't you remember what happened to B? Or Beyond Birthday as he's known as a criminal. And after you died, Mello joined a mafia, kidnapped Sayu Yagami, took part in the death of Soichiro Yagami, and kidnapped Kiyomi Takada."
"Mello was just trying to catch Kira," Light said. Why don't I feel upset or anything? Wouldn't most people be sad after hearing someone talking about their father's death? I have no reason to hate him, so why do I feel nothing? Light thought he remembered crying when his dad had died. Okay, so I must've gotten over it. But what was Abho talking about? What did he tell someone about me that he doesn't want me to know?
"You two should get some rest. We traveled for a really long time," Abho said. He herded L and Light to a room with two beds - apparently already prepared for them - and left to reunite with his group.
L, who hadn't slept in a few months, fell right asleep, laying on his side and curled up in the fetal position. Light stayed up and wondered what was going on. Not just now, but during the entire time he'd been alive. He's hiding stuff from us, Light thought. A lot of stuff.
Finally, he fell asleep.
Lupus: *I don't know if blood would actually work better than hair when cloning a human. I just needed a reason for him to use blood when he could have used hair.
