Abduction

Orphanage caretaker Roger informs L's true successors Mello and Near that L has died, possibly under Kira's hands. Relinquishing the opportunity to succeed L, Mello decides to leave the orphanage in order to pursue Kira on his own. In 2012, Near, wielding three years worth of investigation of the Kira case, allies himself with the President of the United States. Later, with help from Steve Mason of the FBI, he forms the Special Provision for Kira. Meanwhile, it is discovered by the task force that the director of the NPA Kanichi Takimura has been held for ransom, with the kidnappers demanding the Death Note under task force custody in exchange. As soon as Light discovers this, he kills Takimura. The kidnappers, revealed to be the American Mafia headed by Mello, decide to kidnap Light's sister Sayu. Scrambling to find a way to rescue Sayu, the task force soon receives a phone call from Near who reveals that he knows of L's death and the fact that someone has attempted to replace him.
