A/N: Hello everyone, this chapter was definitely easier to write than the last. On to the reviews.
-X- Aww, thank you. I heard of X-files, haven't seen it before. But we have just begun to see Guardian's learning curve, so who knows what might happen.
-Lugga- Thank you. I try. Writer's block not completely gone, but it is getting easier.
To all my readers, The characters might be OOC around the end. Lugga as you see I used your suggestion. :P LOL.
Just as any injury, Mello woke up sorer the next day. He walked slowly to the cafeteria trying not to limp. He plopped down at his seat with a bowl of Coco Pebbles. He munched on them slowly. "Good morning," Matt's distracted voice said. Mello didn't answer but just glared. Matt didn't mind with his eyes glued on whatever game he hand in his hand while trying to eat a piece of toast.
Mello just glowered at his now empty bowl. "Look what I found," Matt said putting something on the table. The blonde Whammy looked at the object between them. It looked like a flesh colored hearing aide.
"My hearing is just fine," Mello grumbled.
"I know. This is so you can be in constant contact with me. Just put it in your ear and when we call each other it will act as a Bluetooth," Matt explained putting down his game and picking up his spoon.
Mello grabbed the device and put it in his ear. "Mello," a new monotone voice called. The blonde Whammy looked up to see Near sit beside him. "Chemistry is starting in ten minutes," the albino said. The younger child looked at the elder, "Rodger said he'll kick you out if he found out you've been drinking again."
"I'm not hung-over," Mello groaned, "Go play with your toys." Near stood up and headed down the hall.
"I'm the one with an attitude?" a strange male voice said in his ear. Mello jumped at the voice and looked around him. Matt looked at him questioningly. A weird hollow laughter came through his ear, "Miheal, you must know who I am we've been working together for about four months?" Mello narrowed his eyes at the condescending voice. "Must I explain to you? You know me as Guardian."
"How did you get a voice?" Mello said out loud.
"Who you talking to?" Matt asked giving a look that clearly meant to question the other's sanity.
"Guardian," Mello answered. Matt rose his eyebrows but didn't comment.
"Are you two done?" Guardian's voice asked, "To answer your question, I have acquired voice simulators. And if I do say so myself, my voice is absolutely hypnotizing."
Mello scoffed at the arrogance of the statement. "Did you have anything important to say?" Mello asked grumbling.
"Not really. I have alerted the authorities in five different countries about fifty crimes within their borders," Guardian bragged.
"I'm supposed to be impressed?" Mello asked as he left the cafeteria after waving good-bye to Matt who returned to his game. Although his tone was unconcerned, Mello realized the ability Guardian had to grow.
"I'll like to see you do better. If you are free this afternoon, a young girl in the Elizabeth Academy has been stalked by a jealous ex-boyfriend. He has finally gathered the guts to attack her," Guardian recited. The machine quickly added,"Do you need to rest that weak body of yours? I can alert the authorities."
"I'm not weak. Call the cops, let them handle it," Mello grouched as he went to the chemistry lab. No one was there except Near who was busy with whatever experiment was assigned for the week.
"The authorities have been alerted. I bet she would be really glad to see her heroes," Guardian said in a mocking tone. Mello gathered the glassware that he needed and ignored the machine. "She is a pretty little thing, I mean for a human," Guardian continued.
"Do you have a point?" Mello asked nearly dropping a beaker of acid.
"No, just researching my assets. Their interests and so forth. I found our chat very interesting. Give Admin my regards," Guardian said one last comment before going silent.
Mello continued his experiment on the degradation of flesh by different acids. He tried to memorize the time and the disintegration process knowing that in the future this could be evidence of murders. Once done setting up the week long project, Mello washed and put away the extra glassware.
Having nothing to do for another hour, Mello decided to see what Matt was doing. He walked through the halls occasionally seeing another Whammy. "Are you feeling well?" a female voice asked from behind him.
Mello turned around to see Linda. "I've been better," Mello said.
The girl just nodded, "Take care of yourself. We don't want to ruin that beautiful face before I can paint it." The female Whammy waved as she continued down the hall no doubt heading back to the art studio.
Mello continued his path to Matt's room and like always just barged in. "Hey Matt, what are you doing?"
"Nothing," the gamer said quickly turning in his chair. The red-head was blocking the monitor. "Are you done with classes?"
Mello walked to the desk and leaned on it. "I'm off till two. Then I have Plant Biology. I don't see why that would help me solve crimes."
"Many crimes have been solved because of evidence that plants provide," Guardian's voice spoke up.
Mello sighed, "Is there any way to keep Guardian from talking?"
"Turn off your phone," Matt answered, "If he can't reach the microphone or speaker, he can't hear you or speak."
Mello nodded and turned his phone off. Out of curiosity he leaned over Matt's chair to see what the gamer was working on. He started to laugh when he saw the simulated house and people. "You're playing The Sims?" the blonde laughed.
"No, I'm not…I'm," Matt tried to come up with a convincing lie, but was interrupted by Mello pushing him aside to get to the mouse. "What should I make Matt do?" he asked himself as got in front of the monitor. Seeing the sprinklers, Mello decided Matt needed to play in them. Mello watched as the simulated Whammy started to run in the streaming water and slapping his behind in the most amusing manner. "Mello, give me the computer back," Matt asked trying to reach the mouse. The camera moved across the lot quickly. Mello caught the sight of a blonde sim. "You have a girlfriend?" Mello asked while trying to find the mysterious sim again.
The monitor turned off. "Hey," Mello shouted.
"It's time for you to leave," Matt said, "I have to go to class."
Mello let an irritated groan, "Fine, I might as well do my plant biology homework before class starts. See you later." The blonde left the room.
The phone vibrated in his pocket. Mello pulled it out and watched it start up. "That took longer than I expected," Guardian said.
"How did you turn on my phone?" Mello asked.
"Just I trick I had to learn. Don't ignore me. I could have something very important to say," Guardian said in an almost upset manner.
"Like what?"
"Like… sometime this evening town hall will have a bomb threat by your friend from last night," Guardian said.
"Where exactly? I need to repay him for last night," Mello said.
"I calculate a 75 probability that he would strike the north-west," Guardian said its voice switching to a more monotone voice. Mello grinned and went to his room to pick up his Glock.
