Chapter 3

Near just walked into the house like there was nothing wrong with the smell; thou Mello was a little held back. He walked in as well with Matt and they went to the room, Mello opened the door to the room with his gloved hands and they walked in. They didn't take the body away yet which was very strange they always took it away right away. It was a horrible scene but they had all seen things like this before. The head was still against the wall were it rolled off and the blood stain carpet lead the trail to the head.

The body was laying on the ground sideways still in binds and the head missing, the neck had the brand mark on it looked as if he was still alive when getting it. The neck was half there, and you see where the spin had been cut through and saw the cracked bone. Near looked at the neck seeing the saw marks and blood that went everywhere once the killer hit veins. The room had a lot of blood on it; the body was cut where major veins were and let him bleed out.

Mello went right to the head and looked at the expression on the poor boys face, he was scared and crying. He took out a camera and took pictures. He never liked police photos they were stupid and not the angels he needed. He went to the body and took pictures as well. "Have you found anything Matt?" Mello asked as Matt looked through everything with gloves on as well. "No, it looks like all the other scenes I have gone to; spotless and nothing left behind." Matt gave an update as he still checked with a flash light.

"Why would you have gone to the other crime scenes?" Near asked, what Matt would have to do there, was Mello keeping personal tabs on the killer and victims death. "We need to figure out when the next death will be, he isn't leaving any clues this could be random." Near told him near stood up from the body and started looking through the room himself, the boy just had posters and books in his room, with a full bed and dresser with a TV. The room itself was a good size and had room to move around in for three guys in here without needing to bump into each other.

"Mello!" Matt said starting to freak out, his eyes wide under the goggles he lifted up while he saw it happen. "Mello, MELLO!" He screamed and yanked Mello out of his la land and to the door. "What the fuck Matt?" He asked confused and Matt jerked Mello had and the body was twitching and starting to move. Mello eyes widen as big as they could go and Near was still in there, his heart was racing and he pushed Matt off and went into the room and yanked Near out of there. The body stood up and Mello didn't want to know if this was real of not. Near was looking at the head now, since he was near it and saw the eyes open and his eyes widen a bit wondering if it was a prank someone was doing; but Mello grabbed him and he saw the body. Matt already bolted from the room and the body of the use to be dead teenager body was charging at us and Mello grabbed Near once again and they were gone, he closed the front door behind him and let Near go and pinned the door down. "KEYS!" He yelled at Matt. Matt obeyed but clearly shaken. "I have played a ton of zombie games before but never thought it was fucking real!" Mello just rolled his eyes and locked the door and grabbed Matt pulling him over for him to help him pin the door down.

Near just stood there, staring at the door still thinking everything that had just happened over there. He saw the thing trying to get free from the apartment. "I hope you guys know there is a second door, the fire escape door." Near told them like nothing had happened. "Shhh!" Mello told him not wanting to hear his thoughts thou they were probably good, or something whatever!

They stayed all night but Mello heard people coming, it was the media and police and Mello pulled up his hood Matt put on his goggles and Near was pulled behind the two out of view thanks to Near's short height. "What is this?" A police officer asked and the media took out their camera quickly and filmed. "Who are you both?" He asked another thing. "Names are not important, but there is a thing inside of this room and it's trying to get out…" Mello told him. "What you are crazy?"

"He is not crazy!" Matt defended him and some people slowly starting to get this but not everyone and the cameras came on. "We are here today at the scene of another death from the copycat killer. Thou we have found that two teenage boys have found a living dead in the room now." The man told the camera and it planned to them. The door started banging again and a few people gasped and others just rolled their eyes.

"Boys there are no such things as zombies and what not! Stop this silly little prank! A boy was killed in that apartment by his head being sawed off slowly!" The police man told Mello. Well fine, Mello and Matt looked at each other and shrugged. Mello grabbed Near who had his hood pulled up and over his face and they bolted down the hallway. Police called after them but other screams started. They weren't lying, oh well should have believed them. Matt looked back seeing the thing and it looked like in its time of being locked up it sewed it's head back on and not very well. It was only little threads, black and badly sewed as the head moved around on the non-matching neck. But they all heard a thud and everyone stopped. Even Mello and Matt and turned and saw the body dead again, everyone froze not use what to do. "Just burn the body." Mello called out and they walked away. "That will kill it." He commented and they left.

Sometime later at a seven eleven type store.

"Wow!" Matt cried still amazed after they left and Mello smiling softly at his friend he just shook his head smiling. "Why are we here?" Near asked and Mello ignored him and went to the candy part and got himself all the chocolate they had. It was sad only the candy sold in stores like this he liked. He bought them all and Matt had picked out sunglasses and put them on Near and got them as well. Near had a sunglass on just like Mello's to hide his eyes and they got into the car. Near took off the glasses as soon as he got in and doors were shut. "Why did you put these on me?" Near asked his voices somewhat mad. "You need to hide yourself when outside!" Mello just told him started to bite off some chocolate. Matt looked over at Mello, thinking he looked so cute when eating chocolate like that he leaned over and kissed Mello.

Mello pushed him away and told him to watch the road. Thou Near watched it and grew very curious of what just happened. Why would Matt kiss his best friend like that? That wasn't normal best friend things right? Are they more than best friends? He would need to figure this out, Mello glanced back at Near and saw he saw and his heart started racing as he looked out the window eating the chocolate deep in thought.
