Chapter 5: Capture
This couldn't be any more perfect. Mello smirked. She came to them. And now she's unconscious. There's no way she could struggle.
Mello stood and took Kurai's backpack. He started rummaging through it, took a worksheet, ripped out a sheet of paper, and started to write.
"What are you doing?" Matt asked.
"Look," Mello faced to paper toward Matt, "I'm writing a letter saying that she ran away in her exact handwriting. From here we take the bus back to the hideout. We're set!" The phone rang. Mello glanced at the number and grimaced.
"Answer it and tell them they've got the wrong number. It's not like you have a stalker," Matt reasoned.
"Alright. Hello?" Mello's eyes widened and he pressed the speaker button.
"We've been tracking you, please come back to Whammy's. We have important news."
"Roger!" Matt exclaimed.
"Yes. Good afternoon, Matt."
"Hey."
"So will you and Mello come?" Matt glanced at Mello. He nodded.
"Yes. Can we bring a friend?" Matt asked carefully.
"… I suppose. Just make sure to not get into trouble, and stay at Whammy's."
"Alright, goodbye!"
"Goodbye." Matt hung up.
"Get her backpack," Mello ordered as he picked up Kurai. He started walking. "From here to the bus station."
"It isn't that far," Matt reminded him. They were soon walking along a highway. Matt looked at Kurai. She was wearing tight, black pants and a gray tank top with a crimson jacket. Hello, Kurai.
