“We’re did Mello and Miss. Kara go the other night?” Near said playing blocks with Mar, who seemed to take a fancy to the tiny boy.
“What the Hell is it too you!?” Mello growled slumping against a large oak. He had been carving various dirty messages into it with the large he knife he pulled from one of his immposibly tight pockets.
“Nothing I suppose.” Near said twirling a lock of his snow white hair. “I was simply awoken at some un-godly hour by the windows being opened and then Matt and Mello’s non-stop fighting till dawn.”
“Nothing, then.” Kara said smoothy, pulling grass out of the ground to stack into little bushes for the growing castle. “If you think it’s nothing then why ask?” Her eyes meet the boy’s for half a second till he smirked and silently went back to building.
“We’re tha Hell‘re L and Light?” Tsuki stated suddenly from her branch upside down in a tree. “They lef’ FO’EveR ago! I though’ we we’re gonna go to a park or som’thin’.”
“They’ll turn up.” Matt said sitting a few branches higher. PSP in hand. “They do that meaning their gonna get up some damn good snacks!” He sucked hard on his cigarette and blew a perfect ring.
“OH! I want a double chocolate ice cream bar!” Mello said practically drooling at the thought.
“I wanna smoothy.” Mar said Near nodding next to her.
“Let’s call L and ask ‘im!” Matt said hoping down and flipping out his cell. He hit the sped dial and put it on speaker. It rang a few time them went dead suddenly.
“……What?” Mello said grabbing his phone and dialing the number.
KLACK!
All eyes went to Near as he was already pulling out his phone. “It’s not doing anything.” He stated putting it back.
“And Lighto doesn’t have a cell sense HE’S under observation.” Mello growled ripping into a chocolate bar. “Why would L have his phone off?”
“Better yet why did it die.” Mar said standing up strait. “Call the old man.”
Matt nodded dumbly and hit 2 on his cell pad.
They waited while it rang.
They counted to ten all holding their breath.
‘click’ “Yes, Matt?” Came the kind old voice. They could hear papers and things being moved around in the back ground.
“Whammy.” Matt breathed a sigh “I mean Watari. We’ve been trying to get a holt of L and his phone not working. When was the last time you got to talk to him?”
“L turned off his phone because they are working on classified information right now. I think it would be best if you children played there for a while. I’ll pick you up later.”
“Bu-.” The line cut off, giving them no opportunity to protest being called “children”. Or to ask what they originally we're worried about.
“WTF!” Mello shouted (thought un-abbreviated) “They said we we’re gonna go somewhere. And now L decides to WORK! HE'S A RETARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“It seems pretty fishy” Mar muttered from her place on the ground. “Why would he say one thing then do another?”
“Yeah.” Tsuki said flipping out of her tree. “I don’ think he would do that without saying somethin’ to you guys first.” She tucked her long hair into one long braid behind her baseball hat earning an ‘awwww.’ From the red head gamer next to her. He liked he hair loose.
“Watari was quick to cut us off also.” Near said his finger moving like a top “He said he would come get us ‘later’. Why would he feel he needed to do that? Given the circumstances I’d think something happened that he doesn’t want us to know about yet.”
“Plausible.” Mello said starting to pace around. “Maybe something happened to Yagami. He is L’s little pet for now.” A snicker made it way up his throat “Maybe he got hit by a car?”
“Not cool Mel’s.” Matt stated.
The three girls had been whispering to each other, but finally stood up and got the three geniuses attention.
“You know.” Kara said “Maybe he was kidnapped?”
All eyes opened wide as the thought sank in.
It was the only thing that made sense.
