The orphanage stood tall, cold and menacing. Armed guards patrolled the immediate area. L sat perched in some shrubs on the south side of the building. Near to the east, C to the north and Light to the west. Occasionally a radio frequency would crackle.

"Seems to be four on the exterior." C's emotionless voice crackled.

Another frequency flashed in, "I'm in."

L said coolly, "Be careful, Mello."

Mello sighed and quad his mic, "Yeah whatever, I know this place and all its hidden nooks."

"Shut up and investigate." C snapped shutting both of the younger men up.

Sayu paced in the cabin with the rest of the agents, the two orphans and Watari. "I hope everything goes okay!" She paced more, "I don't know what I would do if I lost any of them."

Beyond stared at the floor lost in thought, his memory of the last time him and Caspian spoke.

Caspian grabbed a bunch of gear the agents would need to survey they orphanage, not saying anything from their previous encounter the previous night.

Beyond cleared his throat, "I suppose you won't take, 'Let's just cut our losses and run.' Huh?"

Caspian gave him a sideways glance, "We'd be hunted our whole lives." He turned around swiftly and snagged Beyond into a tight embrace, "I can't outrun my past anymore… And I refuse to let my past catch my future." Caspian gently touched Beyond's chin.

Beyond closed his eyes and sighed, "I…" Beyond looked down when he saw the determination of his partner. Knowing it would be futile for him to protest. "I love you."

Caspian kissed his forehead and turned around grabbing his bag, he stopped in the doorway, "This isn't goodbye. This is wait for me."

Beyond's cheeks flushed slightly, he could feel his pulse race and his heart felt like it could be heard by everyone, "I waited this long…"

Caspian smiled and walked out of the cabin with the others shortly behind him.

The sun kissed the horizon and the door slowly creaked open, L and Light walked in quieting everyone down, "They're patrolling the parameters." Light's cautious undertones were enough to stress everyone into silence.

A loud bang was heard towards the orphanage and the patrol officers started running towards the sound.

Near slipped into the cabin as the guards ran away. Both Matt and Beyond shifted uncomfortably. Near nodded to them, "I know that Mello made it out. Caspian saw to that." At the end of that sentence Mello busted into the cabin out of breath. Matt collided into him with a tight hug.

"I fucked up. We have to move, I was spotted, he exposed himself to let me get away and I fucked up." Mello's voice was full of panic.

Voices grew louder as flashlights landed on the cabin, "He went this way!"

Loud steps could be heard right outside the door then absolute silence. Everyone stared at the door anticipating the worst. The door flew open and a dead man fell through. Sayu screamed out of shock. Caspian pulled his dagger out of the fallen man's back. "Well. That was unpleasant."

Beyond's cool composure cracked instantly and he crashed into Caspian being caught in a hug. "I thought! I don't know I started thinking of the worst!"

Caspian nodded, "Not yet, but we are in a bit of a sham of safety. We do need to move, they're bound to realize the unit they sent isn't responding. They're rigged with GPS chips. We move. Watari, I hope you're as good around a rifle as you used to be."

Watari nodded stood, "I'm rusty, but it'll be like riding a bike."

Everyone gathered their supplies and ammunition. They were on the move quickly, repositioning themselves around the orphanage. "We'll split up from here, keep your radios on. No fires, the usual stealth survival. L and Light will take Watari, Matt and Mello, stay with Sayu and Near. Me and Beyond will take the boys. We should all be equally equipped to survive now. Stay smart, stay alive."

Both boys ran up to Beyond and Caspian and everyone reluctantly separated into their assigned groups. "Why are we splitting up?" One boy tugged on Caspian's coat.

Caspian looked back, "Less chance of being discovered, we can still communicate, but it has to be an emergency." Caspian held the radio up, "Going dark, only absolute emergencies shall be noted online."

Beyond held the hand of the other boy, "Our best bet is the river with the cave." Caspian nodded and picked up the younger boy and set him on his shoulders. Beyond tilted his head and smiled watching the deadliest agent carry a small child on his shoulders and a large pack full of supplies of arms and ammunition as well as survival needs. He thought to himself, "He almost looks like a dad."

Darkness overtook the thick forest as the group's settled for the night, knowing tomorrow held nothing but horror. This was the last night of peace.
