It seemed like ages before night finally crawled around, the moon rising high up into the velvet black sky. Mello was restless, although Matt had told him to get sleep before they snuck out, he hadn't been able to get a wink of it, for his thoughts had been racing about Near, the same questions over and over.

'What is that bastard doing to Near right now? If that motherfucker hurts him…I swear…'

Matt glanced over to Mello, his heart pounding with agony, after the first plan had succeeded, his own hidden plan would be given the full go and he was having regrets about it, but he couldn't and wouldn't let his resolve break now.

"Hey Matty, are you awake yet?" Mello whispered, not wanting to wake the whole orphanage up.

"Yeah, are we really going to do this Mello?" Matt replied, he was scared of two things, one: that he and Mello didn't succeed, two: that if they did succeed, he would have to carry out his plan.

Mello gulped, thinking, it was never too late to just go tell Roger…

'No! What am I thinking? That bastard let Near go even when he had his suspicions! And besides, he never believes me.'

"Yes, we are, let's go." He said, his mind made up, his voice filled with that cocky certainty that everything would go as he planned.

Matt jumped up from his lying position and exited Mellos dorm room, the blonde following close behind him, slightly tugging on his vest.

The two tip towed down the stairs, moving incredibly slowly so as the old stair case didn't creak underneath their weight when finally they reached the front door.

At Wammys, to insure protection for the young geniuses, all the windows, doors and any other type of potential entrance was made fully secure, or it was locked, inside and out.

Matt pulled out an old piece of metal that he had found on the street once, it was thin and small, but long enough to pick a lock. Slowly he pushed the little piece into the lock and fiddled with it, before pulling it out and sighing.

"What is it?" Mello whispered.

Matt pushed the door open, "It was already unlocked."

"Oh, but…what?" Mello asked, confusion over his face.

"I dunno, maybe Roger is expecting someone?" As if it were on cue, a car pulled up along the side of Wammy House, two people hopped out of it, Matt could faintly make out the figure of Watari, it'd been a long time since he'd seen him, but the other figure was foreign to him.

Mello growled a little at the figure, but not enough for the two people to hear, Matt looked questioningly at him and Mello simply replied with, "It's the new kid."

Matt looked back to the two figures, sure enough, now that he looked closer, he could make out the features of a child, maybe around thirteen years old.

"Let's not stick around here, we either slip out or hide and then leave." Matt told Mello.

"I say slip out." Matt internally sighed, so typical of Mello to pick the more dangerous option.

"Alright."

First Mello left, plastering himself to the outer brick wall as soon as he had left the door, Matt followed, but he didn't really take it that far…actually he just kept his head down and walked out in the shadows.

When Mello finally finished his 'ninja act' or 'spy act' or whatever the hell it was he punched Matt –not too roughly but enough to make his point- in the arm.

"What was that for?" Matt hissed.

"You didn't become a ninja with me."

Matt restrained himself from face-palming. That was Mello for you, totally taking the simplest things to the next level.

"Okay, anyways, let's get a move on." Matt said, taking Mellos hand in his and heading towards the road for the city.

"Hey Matty, wouldn't it be easier to power the car?" Mello asked, letting himself be dragged along.

"Have you ever driven a car before?" Matt said.

"No." Mello replied, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Exactly my-…"

"That doesn't mean I'm not going to try though." Mello slipped his hand from Matts and headed to the car that Watari had come in.

"What? Mello! The place isn't far from here!" Matt said.

"Matty, you do know that nothing you say is going to change my mind."

"Yes, I do."

"Then why try?"

"I always had this hope that some sense might be knocked into you if I at least tried." Matt replied thoughtfully.

"Not gonna happen," Mello walked casually over to the car and tried the door, "Shit it's locked."

"Well bang goes that theory." Matt chuckled.

Mello scowled at him, "Fine then genius, what do you suggest? I am not walking there."

"I figured when you tried to open a locked car," Matt chuckled again, "Anyways, I thought, being the genius that I am, that we should just take the bikes from the shed, no-one uses them anymore."

Mello crossed his arms and pouted, "I could've thought of that, I was just testing you…" He said, full well knowing that it wasn't the truth.

They headed over to the bike shed and opened the metal door, it was rusty and creaked at the movement it hadn't done in ages. When it was fully open, Matt slid in and grabbed the nearest to bikes, wheeling them outside the shed and handing one to Mello.

Mello jumped right on and pedalled off, Matt following close behind him. The red-head checked his phone, holding onto the bikes handles with one hand, "Mello, make a right here."He said, Mello obeyed and turned his bike.

After what seemed like ages Mello finally snapped and broke the first rule Matt told him, "Matty, are we there yet?" He whined.

"Not far." Matt replied shortly, he hated that sentence, it got so annoying.

"Yeah but, how long exactly?" Mello pressed.

"About ten minutes."

Ten minutes later Matt stopped his bike and called for Mello to stop too, "Why are we stopping here?" Mello asked.

"Do you think it'd be normal for two guys to rock up to 'that place' on bikes?!" Matt said.

"True." Mello nodded.

Mello and Matt headed down the narrow alley way to the brothel and peeked in through one of the windows, it was hard to see because they were boarded but the two could just make out what the place looked like through a couple of cracks.

"Well, let's do this then…" Mello said, trying to hide the fact that he had lost his confidence altogether.

"Y-yeah…" Matt agreed, equally as creeped out as Mello was.

The two entered through the front door, luckily, the place was dark and music was booming loudly and all the men were too busy watching strippers dance to be paying any attention to them.

A lady came up to them though, barely dressed in anything, make-up lathered all over her face, her heels the highest the two boys had ever seen a pair of stilettos, "Hello," She said, "Can I help you?" She purred out the last part, batting her long, fake eyelashes.

Mello shook his head quickly, but added, "No thanks, we're fine." And winked, trying to act as if he'd done this millions of times before…

…As disgusting as that sounded.

"Sure hun, just tell me if 'ya need anythin'." The girl said, before walked off, her hips swaying side to side.

Mello grabbed Matt's hand and tugged him along, careful not to catch anyone's attention, "Matt, we need to look, if anyone asks us anything, just decline their offer, if you hear something about Near…"

"…Find out as much as possible without giving away our true purpose, yeah I got it." Matt finished for him.

"Good, let's look around, see if we can find him."

And so they set off, looking everywhere they could for the white headed boy when a flicker flashed past them.

"Near…" Mello breathed.

A man was dragging him upstairs and heading to one of the vacant rooms, he opened the door and walked in, Near followed and that's when Mello felt it, his heart went pang and overflowed with emotion and to top it off a singular tear rolled downs Nears cheek before the door was closed.

Matt: Yay! My game is back!

Mello: I can't believe we lost to her...

Thanks for reading! ;)
