Mello sat upright again and he and Matt looked at each other.

Nate glanced between the two of them before laughing nervously. "Very funny, you guys..."

"...You gotta be kidding me." Matt breathed.

"Matt...that recording." Mello said- pointing at Matt's computer equipment. "Play it."

Matt nodded and moved over to his terminal- turning on the monitor.

"This isn't funny!" Nate cried, scrambling off the bed and following the redhead. "You can stop joking around now!"

"Shh!" Matt looked at Nate. "Just watch...and don't freak."

He brought up a RealTime player window and started playing the recording on file.

Kira, I am Lind L. Taylor...otherwise known as L...

Nate suddenly reached over and hit the escape key, ending it.

He was silent for a long moment, before slowly taking a seat on the floor.

"...Holy shit," The boy whispered.

--Scene Change--

"You drive like an old woman," Near informed as Mail stopped at yet another stop sign and looked both ways. "Watari's driving is more risky then yours."

"I get pulled over again and it's endangering a minor this time." Mail informed.

"The only thing I am in danger of is falling asleep," Near informed, lifting an eyebrow. "...Again?"

Mail smirked before he gunned the engine and let the tires scream as he peeled out.

Near didn't seem afraid - in fact, he rolled down the window and seemed to bask in the sudden rush of adrenalin, despite the sunlight that burned his sensitive skin.

Mail laughed and pushed the car even harder- blowing Near's hair back. It was so cute to see him taking in the thrill like that.

Then something that surprised even the redhead happened - a small smile curved over Near's lips... not one of those smirks that Nate made when he was in the role, but a genuine one.

"...How do you survive." Mail snorted. "I bet you like Mello's bike, eh?"

Blinking, Near slowly turned to the older teen and rolled up the window. "What bike?"

"Mello rides around on a motorcycle." Matt replied. "After he gets all burnt up."

"Burnt up?!" Near almost snapped, his eyes wide. "When does this happen!?"
