This chapter has a lot of POV's so just to be clear it's Light's, Mello's and last but not least Matt's POV.

Enjoy~ :)

'It depends on the owner's willpower and character how the power of the Death Note will be used,' L said in a whisper to himself. He couldn't be talking to them because they were both invisible for the detective.

Beyond frowned lightly, not understanding what L was thinking about. Light on the other hand knew exactly where his thought process was going. His eyes widened slightly when he realized. Their distraction with the mysterious murders wasn't good enough to keep L off track forever.

He saw Beyond giving him a look. 'I see you know more. What's going on?'

By now L had started with typing rapidly on his laptop. Unlocking multiple long passwords to god knows where.

'He repeated something I said the last time I saw him before I died,' Light said nervously. 'That means he's thinking about the Death Note and I don't know about you, but it looks to me that he has figured something out.'

Beyond gasped. 'No! He couldn't possibly know about us!'

Light shook his head and stood in a second behind L, looking over the detective's shoulder at the screen. 'No, he can't. But maybe he discovered something that connects Mello to the Death Note again.'

They watched how L searched for something on the recording of the camera's in Wammy House. Eventually he found what he looked for… It was Mello. On the morning when he was surprised, just for a second, in the canteen.

He really does suspects Mello now… Is there much more we can do to distract him? Maybe we could tell Mello.

'We should tell Mello about this, don't you think?' Beyond said suddenly.

'I was literally thinking the same thing.'

Beyond smiled. 'Great minds think alike.'

'Hey, Blondie!'

Mello's eye twitched in irritation, but kept his temper down… for now. Matt raised an eyebrow as the two Shinigami flew through the wall, but returned his attention back to the small television where he was playing a game with zombies on his Playstation.

'What?' Mello said annoyed. 'And haven't I told you to stop calling me that? Because I'll say it now-'

'L suspects you again,' Light stopped conveniently Mello's rant. 'We saw hem looking at recordings around Wammy's and he followed you the whole time.'

'WHAT!' Mello shrieked.

Matt almost dropped his controller out of his hands. If it was because he was shocked by the news or startled by the sudden shriek, no one knew.

Mello paled visibly. Why does he suspects me again? He was distracted for so long already… He made a frustrated noise somewhere in between a groan and growl. Of course this is L where we're talking about. Sooner or later he would've gone back to his earlier theories.

He turned to his two Shinigami's in panic. 'What do I do now? The distraction you two came up with doesn't work anymore!'

Beyond sighed. 'That's a pity though… I just got new ideas for new murder cases for our detective- Umpf!' Beyond huffed when Light elbowed him in his side. He shot the red eyed Shinigami a knowing look and his eyes flickered over to the dumfounded Matt who still sat on his bed.

Mello turned around and saw Matt sitting with his mouth fallen open. His friend wasn't stupid and Mello knew the puzzle pieces clicked in his friend's mind.

'Matt…' he started.

'You… you… you knew about the Mystery Murder Case all along?' the redhead asked. His voice slightly faint and trembling.

Mello sighed. 'Yes… but I only wrote the names of the criminals.'

'Oh yes, that makes it all good with what you're doing!'

Mello walked over to his friend and put his hands on Matt's shoulders. 'Most of the criminals were on death row already and it isn't that wrong now they can't hurt others anymore! Please Matt, you have to understand it was necessary. You don't want your friend to be caught, do you?' Mello pleaded. Puppy eyes and all.

It was impossible to say what Matt really thought, but Mello saw hurt in his emerald eyes.

'No… I don't want you to be caught and sent to prison or-' He gulped, 'or worse. But it's still incredibly wrong what you're doing, Mels. Can't you just… burn that damn notebook?'

Never.

'Maybe… I'll have to think about my options. First I need to figure out a way to keep L from getting proof.'

Matt seemed to doubt his words, but nodded nonetheless. 'Okay, Mels.'

Mello smiled. Satisfied with that answer for now. He turned to the Shinigami's who were still in the room.

'Any options or ideas?'

The voices of Mello and the Shinigami's sounded far away in Matt's ears. It was like his head was plunged into a sea of water and it was choking him slowly and painfully.

Mello has clearly lost control over his morals. I don't know what to do anymore… I don't want him to be caught, but this can't continue either.

Matt picked up his controller off the floor where he dropped it. His head was too busy with what was going on to focus on his game so he decided to get out of the room with an excuse before the room's tension would choke him.

He shook with his controller and gave it a hard tick with his hand. He sighed deeply and stood up.

'Don't have another battery here. I'm going to get a new one.'

Mello nodded that he heard him and went on with whatever he was talking about with Light and Beyond. Matt didn't listen.

He quickly went out of the room after throwing his controller on his bed and shut the door behind him. He breathed in some air and sighed deeply. Now he was out of there he felt like he could breathe a little better. But not much. The biggest problem wasn't solved.

Matt strolled through the hallways of Wammy House and slowly made his way to the supply closet on the ground floor. He was just about to go down the stairs when a familiar old sounding voice spoke to him.

'Matt, do you have a moment?' Watari asked.

The redhead spun around and saw the friendly old man. He didn't know how, but that old man seemed to be able to appear and disappear like magic.

'Yeah… I got a moment. Why?' He felt nervous somehow.

If Watari saw his nervous state, he didn't show it. 'Good, please follow me. L asked me to bring you to him.'

Matt's eyes widened slightly. 'Uhmm, can I ask why?'

Watari began to walk in the direction of L's office and Matt had no other option to follow.

'He said he wanted to speak with you,' Watari replied.

Yes, thank you. Now I know much more… not.

It didn't take more than minutes, but it felt like hours when they reached L's office. Watari knocked on the door.

'Come in,' L's deep voice sounded muffled through the door.

Watari opened the door and gestured to Matt to enter the room.

He gulped and did what him was told and entered the room where L was waiting for him.
