(A few days later)

In the last few days Matt had not left his room, He’d finished all snacks that had been hidden in his room.
Roger, Ann and Madeline had all tried to convince Matt to come out.
Matt had briefly allowed Madeline in to check on him. but still refused to come out, They all decided to leave him be for few days. Mello’s departure from the house had been hard on him.

Near was concerned he’d been watching Matt’s door and listening through the walls.
‘He hasn’t left the room since Mello left.’ Frowning to himself Near wondered down the hall heading towards the Kitchen. ‘If Matt won’t come out for food, i’ll take it to him.’
Entering the kitchen slowly Near looked around before heading to the fridge and withdrawing some things needed for a sandwich.
‘I can’t make much’ Near thought to himself. Near made up 3 sandwiches each with a different filling not knowing what Matt likes. Placing them on a tray before grabbing a jug filling it with juice and grabbing a glass he placed them also on the tray cleaning up behind him Near picked the tray up intent on taking it up stairs.
Just then the kitchen door opened and Ann walked in. “Near what are you doing with that?” Nodding to the tray in Near’s hands
“Matt has not eaten, If he won’t come down i thought i should take this to him” Near said in his usual flat tone.
Ann sighed knowing there was no reasoning with him, “Near you should of asked before entering the kitchen you know that.”
“I looked around and saw no-one to ask.” Near moved next to Ann “But now you know so everything is ok” Near said before walking out of the open kitchen door.
‘At least maybe Mail will listen to you’ Ann thought smiling to herself.

Climbing the stairs Near walked to Matt’s door.
frowning to himself ‘He won’t want to see me’
Placing the tray down. looking around making sure no one was around before Knocking and walking away back to his room. and sitting by the window, again watching the streets beside.

Matt growled as he heard the knock ‘Why can’t they just leave me alone damnit’ getting up Matt intended on telling Ann or Madeline he was fine and please leave him alone before he followed Mello.
Opening the door and looking up and down the corridor he saw no-one, Looking down he saw a tray prepared with food.
‘This is new they haven’t done this before.’ his stomach rumbled making him realize he was in fact hungry. Picking the tray up and closing the door behind him.
‘I wonder who did this, Roger refuses things like this to be brought into our room’ Sighing to himself Matt peered at the various fillings before eating all 3 sandwiches in front of him. and drinking a full glass of juice.
climbing on the bed Matt fell into a restless sleep.

Near was sitting at his window lost in thought. ‘Why am i feeling these feelings? Hurt?Anger? this has never occurred before.’ Near sighed thinking back to the night Mello left. ‘When he looked back at house he looked upset almost... and why did tears fall when he left? All he caused me was pain...Why do i miss him?’
Near was distracting from his thoughts by a knock at his door.
“It’s open” Near responded without looking to the door.
Centuary popped his head around the door frame spotting Near at the window. “Near-kun Roger sent me he wants to see you as soon as your free.”
Nodding “I am free now i’ll head down thank you for informing me” Near stated climbing down from the window and walking to the door.
Centuary nodded before slowly walking toward the library.
Sighing to himself Near slowly made his way downstairs, to Rogers office.

When Near arrived at Rogers office he paused for a brief second before raising his hand and knocking lightly.
“Come in Near.” Roger said from behind the door.
Entering the office Near walked to the middle of the room. Noticing some puzzles laying there. ‘Seems talk will be longer then a few minutes.’ Near thought to himself. Sitting in his usual fashion, Not speaking to Roger he started with the first puzzle.
Roger sighed re-reading the file in front of him. “Near as you know with the Death of L. and Mello leaving the way he did. and Kira still at large something needs to be done.” Roger paused glancing to see if Near would respond.
Near merely glanced up before restarting work on the puzzles.
“I’ve been contacted by people of various American Governments they want you, Acting as the next L, working with them to stop Kira.” Roger paused briefly picking up the file he was given. “All details are in this file, You’ll have a strong team working for you, to Help fulfil any needs you may have.”
Near looked up “So they want me to work in America.” he asked in a quiet voice.
“Yes a head quarters has already been set up and they will meet you off the private plane that will fly you over there.”
Near thought things through before standing he walked to the desk and skimmed through the file. ‘The SPK hmm.’ Near looked from the file . to his own hands “How long before i’m expected in America.” Near asked quietly.
Looking down at the sheet of paper in front of him “The plane will be in ready to take you in 3 days if you agree.” Roger paused before asking “Does this mean.. “
“I have not yet decided, You’ll have your answer before the 3 days are up. “
turning his back to the desk “If that was all” Near said already walking to the door, opening and closing it behind him.
‘He is to young for this. In ways they all are.’ Looking at the remaining photo of Wammy. ‘I’m beginning to wonder if you were wrong in making these kids work so hard to become the next L’ Roger thought sadly. He knew that even though he was thinking it was wrong he would continue Watari’s work.

(Outside the Office)

Near had paused just outside the office. Not hearing Ann approach.
Jumping at the light tough on his shoulder “Are you ok Near” Ann asked kindly.
“Near is fine, Maybe a bit tired.” Near said stepping backwards from Anns hand that was still resting on his shoulder. Smiling sadly to Near “Maybe then you could lie down. I’ll come get you when it’s dinner time.”
“I think i will lie down, But Near is not hungry and will be skipping this evening’s meal.” Near said before walking around Ann, Making his way upstairs.
‘If i leave no one will miss me.” Near tried convincing himself ‘I mean Matt hasn’t spoke to me since the night i spent in his room. And he was only one to pay attention to me.’ Entering his room Near climbed on his bed grabbing the Panda plushie the L had bought him many years ago.
Closing his eye trying not to think any more.
