Leave a Trail chapter 7
Puzzle
Now all five were working together. L, Trail, Matt and Mello had been talking about this case for the last ten minutes, and now Near was involved. Near was sitting on the floor, whilst Mello was lying on Trail's bed, Matt sat up beside his feet playing his game boy. L was standing next to the computer, where Trail was still sitting on her chair, her legs still crossed, and a new lollipop in her mouth. L had a new pack of sweets, fudge this time.
"I think..." L started, popping a piece of fudge into his mouth, "We should call a friend..." he chewed.
Trail took the lollipop out of her mouth. "I have her face book page up**" Trail stated. "Maybe she has a post about someone being her best friend or something." Trail looked around the page, to find a small piece of information. "Elizabeth and Angie best friends forever."
"Well, click her page and send her a message." Near instructed. Trail did so, to see her page was not private. Good. Trail clicked send a message.
"What should we say?" Matt asked, not taking his eyes away from his game.
"How about..." L thought aloud. "Hello, Angie. I am leading the investigation for your missing friend, we'd like to ask you where you last saw Elizabeth, and if she was acting...out of the ordinary, sincerely, T." Trail typed the words L said.
Trail looked up to L, who nodded at the message. Trail clicked the "send message" button. The message was sent quickly, and Trail closed her laptop. "What do we do now?" she asked.
"We can go hang out." Mello announces, sitting up, jumping off the bed and 'accidently' kicking Near softly.
"Ow..." Near murmurs. Trail hops off her seat and looks out the window.
"Hey!" she smiles. "It's snowing."
"Really!" Mello says, excited. He joins Trail in looking out of the window. The snow fell lightly on the four inches of snow that had appeared whilst the five worked on the case. "Wow!"
Mello gets up, and make his way to the window to see. Trail smiles up at the five year old. "What?"he asks.
"You're the same colour as the snow." Trail giggles. Mello laughs aloud and holds his hand near Trail for a high five. Trail willingly accepts the gesture.
Near looks out the window again. "No I'm not..." he tells Trail.
"If you say so, dude." Mello looks back to Matt. "Matt, come see the snow." He orders. Matt pushes a button, and stands up to go stand next to his friend. L stands behind the small children, glancing at the snow. There's a lot of it.
"Let's go out in it!" Mello announces, looking at the other kids spilling out the doors into the garden of Wammy's house.
L groans.
Trail runs to her dresses, and grabs out a large green jacket, a grey hat, a pair of pink boots, blue gloves and a green pair of yellow pair of sweat pants. She eagerly puts all the items of clothing over the clothes she already had on. She twirls round enthusiastically smiling to the other four older boys.
"Why'd you put on so much clothes?" Mello asked.
"You're not going out in just those?" Trail pointed to Mello's knee length shorts.
"Well, yeah." Mello laughed. Matt nodded.
"What about you two?" Trail looked to L and Near.
"I'm going to stay inside..." L put the tip of his thumb to his mouth.
"I'm going to stay inside with L." Near says.
"Awww!" Trail moans. "C'mon! Let's all go out together! It'll be fun!" she tries to convince the two.
"No." L looks up. "But Near, you should go out. You barley go outside."
"Neither do you." Near replies.
"But I'm older than you."
"So are Matt and Mello."
"Fine." L gives in. "Let's go put on some snow clothes. You too, boys." L points to Matt and Mello. They sigh and the four leave.
"I'll meet you guys out there!" Trail smiles, fastening her coat and running out of her room. She ran all the way outside in about a minute and a half. She makes it outside, where just about the whole garden is white. There are some kids running about, throwing snowballs at each other, and rolling around on the snow covered grass.
Trail looks around, knowing L, Matt, Mello and Near wouldn't be out for a few minutes. She looks to the corner, and is a little surprised. Did something just move over there? She thinks. She goes over to the corner to investigate. She makes it to the far end, dodging in and out of the kids, and sits down, he legs crossed as usual.
She sees the small figure moving in the edge of the bush. She then brushes some snow off it, as a kitten emerges. She looks at it in awe. It's small, and it's bright blue eyes stare at her, there's confusion in them. The cat is light brown and bright white. It's not too young, it looks just under a year old. "Hello!" she bursts out to the kitten. She scratches its head, but it shies away. "Aww..." she smiles "It's okay kitty." She continues to pet the small cat, and it eventually warms up to her, and even begins to purr. By then Mello and Matt arrive.
"Trail, what are you doing?" Matt asks, wearing goggles, a cameo green hat, and the same coloured coat. Mello was wearing black skinny jeans, a long black coat, and a black hat.
"Oh, look down here." Trail pointed down to the kitten again. It looked around the snow, still purring but quietly, pawing at some leaves.
"Oh!" Matt cried with joy. "Whose is its!" he said to Trail.
Trail lifted his head gently, but there was no tag, to collar. "I think he's a stray."
"Let's keep him!" Matt yells. Mello growls. "What should we call him?"
"Hm..." Trail thinks. "Nehto."

Why did I wait this long to post this chappie?
So I could say...
Happy birthday to me :P 14 today. And why the cat? Because I just think the name "Nehto" is adorable for a cat. And I love kitties 333 333 (two hearts :O) Actually, by the time I write this note, my mother would be in hospital screaming with pain. Good times, good times.
Kay so home you enjoyed the chapter. ;) Good bye for now, children of the world. X3
