The man on the motorcycle escaped Takada's guards with her on the back of his motorcycle when he turned down an alley and managed to lock her in the back of a shipping truck. He forced Kiyomi Takada to strip off everything she was wearing and place it in a box in order to rid her of any tracking devices. He allowed her to cover herself with a blanket while she was removing her clothing. Kiyomi was hiding a scrap of the Death Note in her bra and while she is holding the blanket, she is able to keep the scrap on her. While driving her to another location, the blonde watched on the television in the truck as Matt's car was shown, covered in bullet holes, and the announcer stated that the victim that was gunned down had not yet been identified.
'Matt, I never meant for you to be killed...I'm sorry.' Mello truly felt remorseful after the death of his best friend, especially since his plan was for Matt to escape.
Takada used the scrap of Death Note and wrote Mihael Keehl on it, killing Mello.
"What the hell is going on?" Sebastian asked Matt and Mello who were helping me off of the ground after I passed out.
Sebastian had never seen me have a vision before; it was quite a disturbing sight by the way Matt and Mels reacted whenever I had one. Whenever I had a vision, I got excruciating head pains and then I passed out and saw the vision play out in my head like a movie reel. The telephones in the apartment kept ringing and ringing until Mello finally answered it.
"Kane!" Mello shouted into his cell phone. "How the hell did you get our numbers?"
Silence on the other end of the phone before Kane said simply, "Clairvoyance."
I nearly tackled Mello for his cell phone after I heard what Kane said. Finally, he let go of the phone and dragged Matt out of the room with him. When I got ahold of his cell phone, I said, "You fucking liar! You're not clairvoyant and you know it."
"Raine?" He asked timidly before gaining a burst of confidence enough to say with a tune, "Raine, Raine, go away, come again some other day. My business isn't with you; you aren't my enemy. You know I'm not clairvoyant but if you tell them who I really am, I'll kill all of you without hesitation."
I nearly dropped Mello's cell phone. "What do you mean by who you really are? How are you going to kill us if I tell them?"
"Tsk tsk, I thought you were smarter than that Raine. You knew me when I was that shy little boy that was made fun of for being a teacher's pet and you knew me when I turned into what I am today. Surely you have some idea of what I'm talking about." Kane sounded absolutely nothing like he did when we dated; he sounded like...like...
I was speechless so Kane spoke instead, "I...am Kira. If you say anything, I will kill you, and everyone you care about."
"You can't-"
"Oh and if you think their false names are going to save them, you're wrong. I'll kill Mail Jeevas, Mihael Keehl, Sebastian Oleic, and Julie Iwamatsu in the blink of an eye. Watch what you say and do because I'm not that shy little boy anymore Raine." Kane's voice held the same suave and velvety tone it had when he was telling me he loved me so many years ago.
The only ones still in the room with me were Julie and Sebastian but they were too far away to hear what Kane was saying on the other end of our conversation. "What do you want from me, from us?"
"Well, I want you of course. You see the future and you have the ability to change the present to alter the future. Obviously, you would be very beneficial in my mission to rule the world. And...I miss you."
Kane was pushing his luck if he actually thought I would go back to him. "Tough shit Kane! I have a boyfriend and I'm not helping you!"
"Here's the way this is going to work. Either you help me or I kill Mihael, Mail, Sebastian, and Julie. I'll be in touch." Kane hung up the phone and I threw Mello's phone onto the couch before breaking down.
(Mello's Point of View)
I pressed my ear to the crack of my bedroom door and tried to listen to what Kane was saying to Raine on the phone. I couldn't hear anything, especially with the beeping and sound effects from Matt's DS behind me.
"Matt will you cut it out?" I yelled before someone opened my bedroom door; it was Sebastian.
He brushed his hair out of his eyes and sighed before turning to Matt and saying, "Raine's having a nervous breakdown out there. She got off the phone sobbing and she won't tell us what's going on or what Kane said to her on the phone. I figured her brother or...boyfriend would be able to pry it out of her somehow." Sebastian was afraid of me the way Raine was when she first woke up in our apartment; I guess the way I snapped at him didn't help anything either.
Matt shut his DS off and left the bedroom followed by Sebastian and me. Raine was on the couch hugging her knees and sobbing. My phone was on the opposite end of the couch. Raine didn't know that all my cell phone calls were recorded straight to my cell phone's memory card; whatever Kane said to her that upset her, I would find out later on when I replayed the call.
I sat on the couch next to her and stroked her hair. She looked up at me and tried to smile, but smiling while you're crying is a difficult thing to do. Matt sat on the other side of her and tried comforting her as well. Sebastian wasn't really sure what to do to help; he was only fifteen after all.
"Raine, what did he say?" Matt asked her the question I knew he wouldn't get an answer to.
She shook her head and tried to hold more tears back but she wouldn't answer Matt. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer to me so she could lay her head on my chest and cry if she wanted. Matt was really surprised at how quickly I took to Raine and I was even surprised myself. I, Mihael Keehl, am not one to give a damn about someone else's feelings, other than my best friend Matt's of course.
I picked up my cell phone, turned on speaker phone and replayed the telephone call between Kane and Raine. Everyone remained completely silent and listened.
Certain phrases and words stood out among the rest, and those were the ones that made Raine cry the most. "I...am Kira. If you say anything, I will kill you, Mail Jeevas, Mihael Keehl, Sebastian Oleic, and Julie Iwamatsu in the blink of an eye...either you help me or I kill Mihael, Mail, Sebastian, and Julie. I'll be in touch."
Raine's eyes looked like pools of water shining in the sunlight and when she blinked, tears ran down her face. I couldn't take seeing her cry anymore; I had to end this. "I know Matt told you the other day when I left you guys at Target that we were working on the Kira case, but did he tell you exactly what I do for a living?"
She shook her head but didn't respond verbally.
"I'm in the Mafia. That's how we killed Teru Mikami and stole the Death Note; that's how we saved your life." She was my girlfriend so she deserved to know the truth anyway, especially in a situation where the information could be useful. "With your approval, though I don't need your approval, you are my girlfriend and Kane is your ex-boyfriend, I will kill Kane and end this once and for all."
She wiped tears off of her cheeks and looked straight into my eyes before saying, "Kill him."
