L pulled up the first file and start shuffling through all the papers- letting them fall on the floor in a sloppy mess as he his eyes skimmed the pages at lightening speed.

[Uke]

He spotted a picture and paused for a brief moment at the sad face of the eight year old albino boy who looked like a carbon copy of another boy he knew - one that was almost thirteen now, but still looked like a child.

[Mint]

He moved past it after a moment- not wanting to stay on one thing for too long and get Raito's attention. He read through the little boy's custody history and all the people he was associated with. Then he found the photographs...the ones that all got labeled as evidence.

[Uke]

Nathaniel River was definitely real - the proof was right in front of him - and everything the boy had said was slowly coming into play...

What was there left to do?

[Mint]

L dropped the file folder and turned in his seat- typing a quick message on his laptop before sending it and shutting the machine off. He then got up- his chain jingling as he walked over to stand beside Light.

[Uke]

Light glanced up from where he was watching the feed from their cameras and frowned. "Ryuuzaki?"

[Mint]

"Namikawa is obviously the powerful member of Yotsuba, just over Ooi." L murmured aloud. "After that it's Shingo Mido, who handles finances."

[Uke]

"I know all this," Light informed, eying the other man carefully.

[Mint]

"Good, then we'll put some surveillance on Higuchi." L nodded. "Glad we're in agreement."

[Uke]

"Higuchi?" Light asked in genuine surprise. "Where does he fit in?"

[Mint]

"Of all the members of Yotsuba, I've concluded that he's one of the most successful while being the least likely to succeed." L replied. "That makes his success very suspicious. The other members wouldn't need to use Kira to gain power."

[Uke]

"That does make sense," Light admitted, genuinely surprised still. "I suppose you aren't who you are for nothing. Your powers of deduction are as amazing as ever, Ryuuzaki."

His memories are gone...

It was going to be hard to convict someone who had no memories of their crimes.

--Scene Change--

Near was surprised as he woke up when the plane came to a landing. He could barely remember the flight and wondered how long he had been asleep... he'd been talking to Matt a little, but when had he passed out?

[Mint]

Mail breathed in deeply and blinked his eyes open before he leaned over- holding Near against him gently -and unbuckled his seatbelt.

"Don't move around too much or you might get sick." He warned.

[Uke]

"I've slept so long," Near whispered, as if astounded at the very idea. People were climbing off of the plane, almost bumping into Mail as they passed by. "Have we arrived already?"

[Mint]

"Yeah, I thought you'd like to get some rest and not have to wait around." Mail smiled.

[Uke]

"My thanks to Matt," Near said - obviously tired if he was mistaking the redhead for his friend back home.
