"Stop YELLING!" Mello shouted.

"Guys, someone's coming!" Matt blurtedin alarm.

"We don't have time for this!" Nate groaned. "L is going to die, Mello! Get him on the phone!"

"WHAT!?" Mello gaped in alarm.

"Who is that!?" They heard Roger's voice.

"Roger!" Nate cried, moving toward the sound of the voice. "Roger, I need to speak to L!"

"What are you doing out?" Roger whispered as he ran to meet the boys. "What's happened? You all look dis- Mello!"

Mello and Matt came up behind Nate.

"I don't have time for explanations!" Nate snapped. "Just get me a phone and call L! ...Well, call him before giving it to me- just get me L, damnit!"

"Roger, hurry!" Mello pleaded.

"It's a matter of life and death!" Matt added.

Roger looked between them before pulling out his cell and hitting the speed-dial.

"To my office, quick - quick!" Roger said.

Nate grabbed the phone from him quickly as they slipped into the office.

When he put it to his ear it ran three times before it was answered and voice that was distorted electronically came through.

"Code in." It said.

"Um... maybe you should take it?" Nate asked, handing it back to Roger.

"You think?" Roger sighed as he and Matt came in- taking back the phone. "R-339, Watari we have an emergency and need to speak with Last."

"Watari- that's watari!?" Nate cried, as if relieved.

"Watari, it's of vital importance." Roger pleaded. "It has to do with Next...what do you mean? Handcuffed to him?"

"SHIT-!" Nate cried, grabbing the phone from Roger. "Watari, please, listen to me! I know this sounds weird but you have to believe me, okay!? Last has to know about this!"

"This is Nathan...correct?" Watari asked. "Is it something you can tell me?"

"No, it has to be him," Nate stressed.
