26. The Escape
Rated T for Trash
"We need to go, now." The words flew out of Mello's mouth as his expression changes to a terrified and determined look. He grabs both M and Matt, who both shove him lightly off.
Funny how Mello didn't specify what was going on, but both Matt and M knew it was Light and the others waiting at their front door. It was already surprising enough that they didn't already charge in without waiting for them to respond. Perhaps it was because they weren't actually the Police Force and they didn't have a search warrant?
"Now." Mello reinforces as he grabs M's hand, whom looked nervous as well. Matt just shakes his head in denial. Matt reaches for M's cellphone, only to earn a slap from her. He takes it with a sigh.
"They can track you from your phone. You shouldn't take this with you. I'll keep it with me." Matt explains in a low voice, as M mumbles a sheepish sorry.
Mello's face softens. He opens his mouth to talk, appalled almost, and closes it. "Matt- you aren't coming with us? Matt avoids Mello's hurt eyes and shakes his head. As much as M disliked him, she was disappointed he wasn't coming.
"Nah, I'll have much more fun here!" Matt begins in a playful (and quiet), voice. "Besides, I think you two should have some alone time if you know what I mean." He flirts, winking. M lets out a groan as she and Mello slap him in unison.
Matt takes the cellphone and snaps it in half. M gasps and launches towards him, but Mello pulls her back by the wrist. Matt apologizes with a half smile.
The door thuds again. They were getting impatient. By this time, if M and Mello didn't try an escape route, they'd be goners.
"They probably have the place surrounded." M whispers to Mello nods. Mello disappears for a second and hands M an old pillow, a sunhat, and a pair of aviator sunglasses. M just stares at the pillow oddly, understanding the others.
She places the sunhat on, stuffing her golden hair behind her ears. M equips the glasses and narrows her eyes as she looks around. Mello had grabbed a suit for himself, and was quickly putting in on, making the sure the tie was just right. He pulls his hair back into a man-bun.
M was still staring at the pillow. "Mello...?"
He points to her stomach. M's cheeks turn furiously red as she punches him.
"Mello! I'm too young for that!" She yelps, as Mello rolls his eyes. He balls up the pillow and stuffs it under her shirt as M struggles against him.
"Keep your voice down, woman! Do you want us to get caught? Look, just pretend you're my pregnant wife, alright? We can pass the cops that way. All they know is that they're searching for a girl and not a married couple." Mello hisses as M gulps.
Matt chuckles earning a death stare and cursing from an outraged M. Mello wraps his fingers around M's trembling hand and leads her to a door located on the right side of the apartment. It lead to the next door apartment, which they could safely escape from. Mello twists the doorknob and slowly creaks the door open, guiding M with his spare arm.
They finally make it to the other apartment door, and Mello opens it. The two sigh with relief. As soon as they enter the atmosphere with people, they begin their act. M emphasizes the pillow while Mello wraps an arm around her waist with a painful smile. Everything was going according to plan. (Well the plan that they had just made five seconds ago, that is.)
Chatter could be heard from Matt's side. He still had not opened the door to let the team in, meaning it would be riskier for M and Mello. One of the members notice the two and walks over to them.
It was Light Yagami. He was wearing a fake smile (so was Mello) as he approach the 'couple.' Light's eyes wander to the pillow in M's shirt, but not realizing it thankfully.
"Hello, madam and sir, my name is Light Yagami, I'm part of the Japanese Police force," He offers his hand to Mello and M, when Mello shakes it with a curt nod. "I was curious if I could ask you a few questions? It won't take much of your time, I promise." He guarantees, smiling widely.
M didn't know what to do. She was in a complete panic, meanwhile Mello was complete calm.
"Du är dum!" She stutters out in Swedish, earning a strange look from Light. Mello flicks her in the back but hides his dismay.
Mello chuckles awkwardly, brushing his neck. "You must excuse my wife, she is not from around here," Mello begins in a smooth yet impressive Swedish accent. M was just surprised he could pick up that she was speaking Swedish. "But of course, ask us whatever you'd like."
Light nods as thanks. "Have you seen a woman, fairly young looking with blonde hair and hazel eyes? She's wanted for certain crimes and her last location was reported to be around here." He explains. Mello's heart pounds as he shakes his head.
"I do not believe so, Mr.Yagami. I apologize, I truly do. Perhaps I can help you with something else?" Mello offers.
Light's eyebrows furrow with frustration as he curses words to himself. He then smiles. "No thank you, sir. I am sorry to have bothered you." Light bows as Mello laughs again.
Light turns back and his eyes widen as he realizes the whole force was watching. He avoids the glares and shifts his gaze to the floor, running a hand through his neat brown hair.
Skye however was still focused on this 'foreigner.' How could Light fallen for something so easy? Though, she was thankful at the same time.
M looks back to see the attention of the force focused on the door, with the exception of Skye, who was glaring at M. M flashes a quick smile to her, as Skye gasps.
"Something wrong?" Light snaps her back into reality as she blushes. She quickly shakes her head as Light nods. Did she just spoil M's disguise? Her ultimate goal now was to keep them as far away from M and that other stranger as possible.
However, when Skye got the opportunity to see M again, she would definitely be lecturing her on how to make decent disguises.
