"Near! I was wondering where you were!" Even though Abho greeted the clone warmly, he was suspicious that it may be the real Near. "Come to my office. I need to show you something." Abho didn't take his eyes off Near as they walked.
"The clone is free," Near's clone said calmly.
"How? I thought you were going to kill him!"
"I was. But then he escaped."
It took all of Abho's willpower not to throw the man. What if the real Near caught him? What if he killed Kira? Abho couldn't let the stupid little sheep harm his savior. He also needed to keep L here so he could find criminals for the great Kira to punish.
When they reached Abho's personal lab, Abho closed and locked the door. Then he opened a drawer and pulled out a syringe. It was full of a liquid that would knock out the human who was injected with it. Abho placed the syringe back in the drawer and began rummaging through the rest of the drawer's contents. "Near, could you get me the folder on that desk?" Near turned to the desk Abho pointed at, turning his back to Abho. In an instant, Abho was on top of Near, stabbing him with the syringe. Then he held Near on the floor while the drug took effect.
When the clone was unconscious, Abho pulled back the albino's white pajama shirt enough to see his left shoulder. On the shoulder were two small scars right next to each other, almost unnoticeable to anyone who wasn't looking for them. The scars were in the shape of two letters: an "I" and an "A". Yep, this is the clone, Abho thought. Although he was relieved that Near hadn't found him, he wished he had Near unconscious in his office so he could kill him. At least now I can begin my plan.

Light was woken up by bangs and grunts. When he opened his eyes he saw someone with pale skin, white hair, white socks, and white pajamas fighting with L, who had been woken up earlier than he would have woken up after so long without sleep by someone beating him up. Light instantly recognized the human marshmallow as Nate River. Why is Near fighting with L?! Light thought as he jumped out of bed. He realized that while L was unarmed, Near had a kitchen knife. Since when does Near get off his lazy butt and do stuff?! Light thought. He grabbed his gun off his nightstand while L continued defending himself against Near.
"No! I knew something like this would happen!"
Since Near and L were distracted with each other, Light was the only one who turned to see Abho standing in the doorway. Abho ran forward and grabbed Near's arm, stopping him from taking another swing at L. Near turned around to face the new threat, kicking L into a wall in the process. Light was at L's side in an instant, helping the detective up.
When Light looked back at Near and Abho, he saw Near had managaed to bring Abho to the ground. As Light watched, Near pressed the knife to Abho's throat and dragged it across, killing the Kira supporter in one quick motion.
