A.N./ Hello there! Everybody good? Good. I'm thinking of doing this pairing with pirates then somethine with L and Light and maybe Light with Kira or L with L. Tomorrow is my daddy's birthday! Yay! He's turning twenty-one for the second time! I like to tease him about being old. He doesn't like it that much. Oh well, it'd be weird if he were around my age. There's so much snow. I'm not used to all this snow. It's like two inches out there! I'm saying it like that because we never get snow and so all the roads are slick and stuff because almost none of the states budget goes to salting the roads.

[Near's point of view]

"It's about Mello." He needed to do this. In the long run it would be better for Mello.

"What about Mello?" Somehow hearing L's monotone voice soothed him a bit. He didn't really understand why and he didn't really care. He had to make sure Mello wouldn't do anything stupid.

"Well, I think he's going to do something bad." Way to beat around the bush.

"Something bad? Like what?" Taking a deep breath he responded.

"I think he's going to kill someone." There was a pause on the other end and it made Near wonder if the man had dropped the phone or something for he wasn't speaking.

"That is something bad. Don't worry. I'll send Light to follow him." Near heard the man reassure him, but he wasn't quite sure what Light could do. He didn't really know much about the man, but if L trusted him and Mello trusted L, then it was worth a shot.

"Thank you very much. Good bye."

"Good bye, Near." With that he hung up. Surely this will help Mello make the right decision. It will be alright in the end. Everything will be alright.

[L's point of view]

L sat there for a minute after hanging up the phone. He always knew Mello was a bit unstable, but to kill. He'd have to hope that the other man had enough sense not to do it, but in case he didn't Light was going to be there to be sure he did.

"Light, I need to talk to you." He called to his lover in the other room.

"Sure, what is it, L?"

"I need you to follow Mello for the next few days. I'm worried he's getting himself into some trouble."

"Yeah, no problem." L nodded and Light left to go do as L had... asked? Demanded? Whatever the hell it was.

[Mello's point of view]

Everything was set. Some contacts of his had told him where Aiber was going to be in an hour and Matt was signing the papers while Near was being watched by some old lady named Sachiko.

He felt the gun at his side making sure it was there even though there was no chance of him misplacing it.

"Hey, Mells, I'm all finished. Let's head on back." Mello smiled at his best friend.

"Actually, I have some stuff I have to attend to. You can go on back, though." Matt nodded and they went their separate ways.

Mello wandered down town to where Aiber was staying. He was in a hotel suite. Fourth floor, room 56. He stared at the door. This was not going to change anything.

Knock... Knock...

There was some rustling behind the door before it opened to show some hot blonde and Aiber in the back ground.

"Can I help you?"

"I'm here to see Aiber. I gots some buisness wid 'im." Forcing the horrid words from his mouth he smiled up at the woman. He hated being shorter than some women.

"Aiber, wanna your thugs wanna talk to ya." She called back at the man.

"Cool, go take a hike." The woman slipped past him and Aiber took her place at the door.

"Come on in." That's exactly what he did.

[Light's point of view]

He watched as Mello walked into the man's room. He promised himself only to go in there if he heard shots fired. Damn...

A.N./ Okay, short chapter, but I can explain. Man, you see I have this ending planned out. Shocking, right? I think it'll go real well with this story. So, give me your thoughts on pirates.
