A.N./ Yay! Two reviews! So many for this story even though it hasn't even been here that long. 15 reviews in total. Help me make it to thirty by the time this story is completed. I have one vote on my poll I figured out was there when I went on my profile to show my friend something. I do allot of things I don't remember. Oh well though. Another chapter. Mello must think things over.
[Near's point of view]
Near had seen that red head before. One time he gave him advice on how to hack into the museums security system. That was the reason he chose to steal from museums. He had not expected the older man to appear at Mello's door though. He hadn't seen him in a few months but he didn't know he was working for the mob.
Near saw Mello turn around and eye him wearily. When he saw the look in his eyes he ws kind of sad. He didn't want Mello to be worn out. If this was all because of him he was going to be very sad. Mello was his first friend and Near was almost sure that friends didn't wear friends out. He didn't know allot about it except from some of the barney books he read when he was still in foster care.
"Near, get over here now." He heard the commanding tone in Mello's voice and opted to do what it said. He slinked over to him and looked up with big, puppy dog eyes.
"You're in allot of trouble young man. You're not supposed to rob museums." Near nodded.
"B-but, I didn't want to go back living with my foster daddy. He was really mean and I needed money for food. I didn't mean to make Mello mad. I reawwy sowwy. Sniffle..." Near explained. He was about to start crying again. He didn't want to be in trouble...
"You know, I might just have to call Matt back here..." Near looked up at Mello with questioning eyes.
"Go sit on the couch for now." Near did as he was told and kept his eyes on Mello while he phoned someone.
"Chief? Yeah, someone stole the bag when I let them in. Yeah, it was a stupid move letting them in. I know. Yes, I'll come in later." With that Mello hung up. Near was curious as to why Mello did that.
"Mello?"
"Shh... I'm going to call Matt." Near nodded still wondering what Mello was up to but decided he would find out in due time.
[Mello's point of view]
"Mattykins..." Mello said.
"Mello? I just left, what could you possibly want?" Mello heard the annoyed tone Matt used
"I'm doing something bad and I need you to take Near for awhile. Plus, I wanna meet your boss." He heard Matt let out and exasperated sigh on the other end.
"Mello, meeting my boss isn't something you can do just out of the blue. I can take Near and I can give you my boss' address. Other than that, you're screwed." Mello practically squealed on the other end. If all went according to plan he would have better pay and a better job...somewhat... If you call trying to get a job in the mob better. Hey, it had better pay than a police officer could ever get. Plus, if Mello used his intelligence he could get far.
"Matt, don't worry, if everything goes according to planned, you won't have to worry about the police anymore." Mello smiled.
"Wha? Never mind. I don't want to know what goes on in that sick head of yours. The last time I asked, I had ended up helping in your plot to blow up the school. Boss' address is..." After he told Mello that he hung up. Mello just kept smiling when he started reminicing about blowing up the school. The cops still don't know who did it.
Mello had stuffed bags full of flyers for hooker and joker cards, for the joke of it, all around the school. He had placed the bombs in meticulous places and set the day it would blow for Sunday. It worked out just fine and it was even on the evening news!
Mello sure had some good times in high school. One time he put a jack in the box in a teacher's desk that was afraid of clowns. Let's just say that she had panic attack and was tooken to the hospital but the look on her face was priceless.
He looked over at Near. The cutie was playing with a lock of his hair and talking to his teddy bear.
"Near?" Mello called over to the little angel.
"Yes, Mello?" The little sweetheart called back.
"Go to the bedroom. I've got a surprise for you." He smiled. He was about to do something totally illegal and wrong but he was extremely happy about. He was hoping that Near wouldn't hate him for the rest of his life but if he did it right it would feel really good.
He was having a good day so far...
A.N./ VERY short chapter. I hope I'm not ruining the plot. Sorry about the whole not updating everyday. I have a few stories on story alert and they all seem to update at the same time. Then I try and read them all. IT is very difficult. Vote on poll and review. I hope you like this extremely short chapter. :) Be nice and leave a review to help me get to thirty!
