Near: The Untold Story

Chapter 1

BB'sP.O.V.

I was on the run from the most known but secretive detective to ever live. I have not only killed some people but caused myself to not know who I was. At first I wanted to be so much like L, I mean I still do but I am almost the complete opposite. Then I found pleasure in killing people. I made a game out of it. It was fun until I tried to commit suicide so I wouldn't get caught. Then I was saved by some detective I found in the beginning of my murders. But now, I am just lost. I don't know what to do with myself. During this time I find myself wandering around the worst neighborhood in LA. I was passing by a street corner when I saw a young, pale child playing poker with at least 6 of the richest people in LA. You could tell he was counting cards by the amount of chips he had. After the game was over he picked up all the money and left. The other players were obviously mad and chased him.

They caught up quickly and grabbed the child by the shirt . They started to attack him. When I stepped in he was already knocked out. I felt the urge to kill them all. It brought me the pleasure I missed. I brought the boy to the safest place I could think of… the abandoned building I was currently hiding in. It took three days for the child to wake up during this time because of the severity of his head injuries. I wrote a note and put in the back pocket of the pajamas he was wearing.

"What is your name?"

L's P.O.V.

I've been chasing BB for at least 2 years now. He was going to be my successor. I keep wondering, "how does something that good turn into something so sour". Yesterday was very disturbing for me… I was asked a question that I had not been asked in 2 years, since BB. Watari asked me who my next successor will be.

I answered with "I have no fucking clue."
