Fractured Ties (A Death Note Matt x Reader)

Planning

It has been a few days since you've introduced the plan to others. Everything's beginning to fall into place. The hideout's location was Mafia's previous hideout in the outskirts of LA, which is now just a blown-up factory-warehouse (thanks to Mello). But really, who is stupid enough to camp out in a previous criminal hideout? Maybe the organization is desperate, or people won't suspect any criminals hiding out in a previous criminal hideout. I guess the more obvious the location is, the more well the place is hidden-if that made any sense. Gevanni and Matt have already planted bugs in and around the place, and you've been carefully observing for the past two days, giving out roles to people (well, most of the time the team was arguing over the roles they wanted to have).

"There's no way, I want to be the woman the organization keep around for "entertainment's sake!" It's too degrading, I am a strong woman! Also, I don't think that Matt will be happy with that!" You shouted.

"Okay then, (f/n). I'll assign the part to Halle. She's way better at seduction anyways." Near decided.

"You mean like the time when Mello kidnapped her just as she stepped out of the shower, wearing nothing but a towel?" You brought up.

Everyone else chuckled (well, everyone but Halle), Near smiled his pedo-grin. Halle slunk low, into her seat, her face was tinted with a shade of deep crimson. (Good for her).

The team eventually decided on the roles, and you have to play the part of a secretary, who will eventually be the one to rescue Roger. Near planned for Halle and Gevanni to back you up when your panic attack happens to strike on the day. Halle and Gevanni has to play the part of the boss's two empty-minded hooligans who does the dirty work for him (you guessed that Halle demanded Near not to assign her the role of the seductive stripper), a suitable role to back you up. Because of the Commander's strong and intimidating appearance, he's playing the boss's "bodyguard" because he's beside the boss for most of the time, he can easily knock him out when the time is right.  Of course, Near with his frail body isn't going to be at the scene instead, he's commanding the others from behind the scenes.

But the biggest news yet, is that the team's teaming up with the FBI which means starting tomorrow, you're working alongside both Mello and Near. You guess that the team is running short on people to patrol the area and for knocking the others out.

Wait! Mello's working alongside Near?" You finally came to your senses.

"Oh God, things are going to get ugly." You inwardly foreshadow.

Your team has spent the rest of the day carefully studying their roles and running errands to the costume shop, trying to devise the best disguise, closest to the members of the organization. Near even went as far as hiring a professional makeup artist (well, the SPK seems to have an unlimited budget anyways). You went home that day, only to hear Mello complain (more like rant) about Near and his annoying little ways and how he doesn't want to work beside him.

"I can't believe I have to fucking work with that little bitch!" Mello flung his hands up in annoyance.

"Language, geez. It's only for a couple of days, and besides, you worked with him for the Kira case." Matt commented.

"English. And besides, I had no choice back then!"

"So much for someone who said he would rather die than work with Near!"

You just sat there on the couch while watching them argue.
