Chapter 2
The boy was crying on his knees with his hands behind his back naked and ankles tied together, he wasn't trying to get free anymore. He just knew he was going to die, but this was horrible he had been minding his own business with getting into his house when he was attacked. The hallway was empty and the man was there, unlocking his door and once it was open he rushed him and pushed him inside his own house and was wearing gloves with gloves under them. "Not going to fight anymore?" A voice asked the teenager around `17, he lived with his parents but they were gone today. The killer had something on the stove in the kitchen and took it off and branded the boy, thou he was gagged to shut him up. Once he was branded he took a knife and slowly sawed off the others head. Once to the bone he was dead and had a painful and slow death, he got through the bone.
The head fell off the stack of pillows and rolled to the wall and stayed there with the eyes wide with fear and tears in them. The killer made sure to clean everything the whole apartment and every nook and crack. Once it was done the door was locked to the boy's room with blood staining the room and the killer left. As it walked down the hallway the face of the killer was hidden hair as we anything that could be used against them.
"What!" another killing has happened! When?" Mello demanded. "Calm down, there is no use getting worked out over this, it will only cause me problems." Near told him playing with a tower of dice on the floor. "This isn't time to play with fucking dice!" Mello shouted in anger at Near and kicked back his foot and knocked the whole thing down. Near just held where he was going to put the dice with nothing now under it. Now he had to rebuild and make it ten times as better. He started working, keeping his reaction calm and liking nothing. Mello huffed loudly and sat back down at his computer his first in a tight ball as he stared at the computer screen looking at the boy that was found in his room by his parents the next day.
"Would you like to go to the crime scene?" A man with black hair and looking about in his 50s with bags under his eyes and looking tired from lack of sleep. "Yes. But I will go on my own." Mello told him standing up and walked out of the bedroom part of the big hotel room. He put on his shoes and coat pulling his hood up and sunglasses on. "Mello. Near called out, Mello bit his tongue and didn't move showing he was listening. "I want to come to." Near said calmly and stood up. "What!" Everyone gasped never did Near want to leave his room once in a mission why now? Mello eyes widen under the sunglasses and thought of something that would make this logical. Nothing did what was this? Near stood up from his dice and walked over and put on his shoes. "You will need a coat." Someone told Near, not like he didn't know this. Near opened the closet door and saw that his guards had left him a white coat like always and he put it on.
Near pulled up the hood as well with the pure white fur sticking out of the hood along with his hair. He looked cute Mello thought, he looked to cute it made his heart pound and he needed to keep himself calm. They walked out of the room and Mello pulled out his phone and called someone. "I am leaving the room come get me." He said and hung up. They moved into the elevator once again and the ride was short and no extra stops. They walked out and outside and Matt was waiting for them with a smoke in his mouth leaning on the car. "Matt." Mello called and he turned around and eyes went right to Near. "What is he doing here?" Matt asked surprised, Mello just got into the car and Matt did as well. "Smoking is bad for you." Near said simply and got in the back seat putting on the seat belt looking forward.
"Really?" Matt replied. "Where to?" He asked and Mello leaned back in the seat. "Have you heard about the newest killing?" He asked. "Yeah."
"There." He told Matt and he nodded and they were off speeding weaving in and out of cars. "You are going over the speed limit stop; we are helping a crime not going to become one." Near told Matt. "Who cares, police speed all the time." He told him and only let faster, Near started t twitch and show tiny bits of fear as they zoomed past cars. He started twirling his hair in his fingers thinking of a way to get Matt to slow down. "If you don't stop I will arrest you." Near told him. "You can't do that, you are brat for the Wammys house you aren't a police officer."
"I can get you arrested easily."
"Both of you just stop." Mello said annoyed. "Just slow down." Mello told Matt and he did unhappy about it but he did. "I don't need to get pulled over by your dumb ass." Mello said and Matt flicked the smoke out the cracked window and they pulled up to the house. Police blocked off the apartment complex and they got passed them with Matts help. It was risky taking Near here, he still didn't understand why he wanted to come. All of them had to be careful, the killer could be here watching. They waited until the police was gone and made their way into the apartment. It was empty but it reeked of a dead body.
