   " She isn't back yet and we haven't heard from her. Do you think she made it out of the explosion? " Matsuda asked.

   " I hope she did. " Light said staring at the TV.

   " That kid is strong. She wouldn't stand there and let herself die in that explosion. " Aizawa said.

   " That's true but she had Mello holding her hostage there, so he kept her near him since she knows the future. " Light said. 

Without Mr. Yagami it was lonely in the Task Force building. They had lost a father and a friend. You were still missing after the explosion occurred. They didn't know if you were alive or if you had died with Mello in the explosion. They had no signs telling them that you lived and without any contact from you they feared you died. Kira's Kingdom started playing on their screens in the Task Force room. It gained all of the attention of the members.

   " Kira's Kingdom, huh? What a horrible title. " Aizawa said

   " This is insanity. "

   " If anybody deserves to be killed by Kira it's this guy ."

   " Switch it back to the press conference. The president's about to start. " Matsuda said in a sad tone.

They switched the channels and the president stood at the podium.

   " I wonder what it's about? All they said was that it was gonna be some sort of international announcement. " Matsuda said continuing to talk.

He threw an apple up into the air and Ryuk caught it.

   " You don't do anything but watch TV, don't you? "

   " Uh, what? "

Matsuda snatched the apple from Ryuk and bite into it and started eating it himself.

   " Good morning, I'm gonna try to keep this brief. The United States will no longer oppose Kira. "

   " Those cowards! " Light yelled.

   ' I've done it, I've even brought America to its knees. ' Light thought.

   " Justice? No, no, I never said that. But because of Kira, war and conflict have ceased to exist. Criminal organizations are in a state of ruin, not only in the United States but in all free nations. Anyone who defies Kira head-on will be killed. That is a fact, we are not acknowledging Kira as a symbol of justice, we are simply saying that, as a country, we will not take any actions against him. "

( Near's P.O.V. )

   " Mello, welcome. "

   " Drop your weapon! " The agents yelled at Mello as he pointed his pistol at them.

   " Everyone please put away your guns. Having a shoot-out here would achieve nothing. " Near stated still not facing Mello.

Everyone put their weapons away and Mello took down his hood.

   " It seems like things have been going just as you planned, Near. "

   " Yes. I take it you've already heard all about the second L from Lidner by now? I've pretty much figured out who Kira is and it's mostly thanks to everything you've done. "

He pointed his gun at Near and yelled for him to shut up.

   " I'm not just a tool in order for you to use to solve your puzzles, y'know? "

   " Mello, If you really wanna shoot me then go ahead and do it. "

Mello slowly put his gun away and continued to talk.

   " Anyway, I'm only here for one thing. I came to take back that photograph you have. "

   " Of course. I got it from the orphanage. There was only one and no copies have been made. I've already gone ahead and dealt with everyone who knows your face, both inside and outside of Wammy's house. They'll keep quiet. "

He threw the picture at Mello and he caught it between his fingers.

   " I can't say a hundred percent for certain, but it shouldn't be possible for you to be killed by the notebook. Is that the only business you had with me, Mello? "

   " Near... Let's get one thing straight. I have no intention of working together with you on this. "

   " Yes, I know. "

   " At the same time, I can't just take my photo and leave, that wouldn't be right. So I'll settle my debt. "

   " Hmm? "

   " The killer notebook...it belongs to a shinigami. Whoever touches it is able to see a god of death. "

The other agents went crazy and started calling him a liar.

   " I believe him completely. What good would it do for him to tell an outrageous lie like that? Even if he had something to gain he could have at least come up with a more believable story. Therefore, these gods of death must exist. "

   " The notebook I obtained had previously belonged to another shinigami. Perhaps even Kira himself. Also, some of the rules written inside are actually fake. That's all I can tell you for now. "

Mello started walking away but he stopped.

   " Near? "

   " Mello? "

Mello took out his chocolate bar and took a bite out of it and then Near started twirling a piece of his hair.

   " Which of us is gonna reach Kira first, I wonder? "

   " The race is on. "

   " We're both heading towards the same destination. I'll be waiting for you. "

   " Right. "

Mello started walking back down the hallway, heading towards the exit of the SPK building. He stopped walking when he reached the front door. He turned towards the security camera and bit into his chocolate bar for the one hundredth time. 

   " You can find her in apartment 30 on Oak Avenue here in New York. When you find her make sure you take care of her, she's special and she's a close friend to Matt and me. So, don't hurt her or I will come back and take her back. I won't be there when you go get her, Matt and I will be long gone by then. Go there in the morning to get her. "

   " Thank you, Mello. " Near said through the speaker.

Mello nodded at the camera and walked out of the building disappearing into the night, putting his hood up once more.
