[Kanji_The_Wanderer]

Near has an easier time, because he has everything that L had in front of him. Even the task force starts to suspect Light of being Kira. They go to Near and tell him almost everything that has happened. Mello likes his own rules, he may want to catch Kira, but he'll do anything to get it and outsmart Near. They are both fighting to be #1.

These really aren't spoilers... It's pretty much stuff people had been thinking all along.
