Andrew Adams walks into the 27th shows Ryo's card and is told to go to the third floor.

 

Ted is coming out of his office, so he is the first person Andrew runs into.

 

“Excuse me, but could you tell me where I can find, Det. MacLean?”

 

Ted looks the man up and down, noticing his clothes first off. He is wearing a pair of skintight, black leather pants and open neck white shirt, with a black long leather coat. His hair is slick back, in a long ponytail that hangs down almost, to the middle of his back.

 

Ted clears his throat before answering, because all he needs is some blood on his mouth and he can swear he's a vampire.

 

“Let me take you to him, and you are?”

 

He smiles at the detective and puts out his hand, while telling him his name. Ted takes it reluctantly and finds he has a firm grip and his hand, luckily, is not soaked in blood.

 

They walk to Ryo's office and Ted sticks his head in the doorway.

 

“Ryo, you have a visitor here.”

 

Ryo and Drake look up and see the man with Ted. Ryo stands and Drake is looking over Ted's shoulder wondering, who the slick looking man is, as he checks out the outfit and style.

 

“Uh…can I help you?” Ryo is staring at him, before he recognizes whom it is.

 

Andrew steps from behind Ted and gives the blonde-haired man a big smile, “I came as you requested…Ryo. Is that your first name? It sounds nice, are you part Japanese?”

 

Ryo blushes and tells him, he is part Japanese and Randy is his first name.

 

“I hope you don't mind me calling you Ryo, I heard the other detective use it.”

 

“Its fine, everyone calls me that anyway, they got it from my partner. Come in and I'll get you set up, so you don't have to spend too much time here. I do appreciate you coming down.”

 

Andrew takes a seat, “It's no problem Ryo, I'm happy to do what I can to help. Do you have some coffee or something, I'm a little parched, I didn't take time to stop at starbucks, before I came. I didn't want to make you wait.” He gives Ryo a warm smile, while watching his face intensely.

 

Drake and Ted exchange glances, wondering if they should leave him alone with Ryo, when he says, “I'm not holding any of you up, am I?”

 

Ryo looks at him, “No, these are two of the Detectives that work with me. Drake, would you go and get Mike in here, so I can get him set up.

 

“Oh, this is the one that's going to give you the description of your suspect? Yeah, I can do that for you.”

 

“Ted could you go and get Agent Homma for me, I think he's in the commissioner's office.”

 

“Uh, yeah uh, sure Ryo.” He turns looking over his shoulder, as he leaves out heading for Rose's office in search of the agent.

 

“We don't have starbucks quality coffee, but I do have some tea that's pretty good, if you would like to try it. It's happens to be my own special blend.”

 

Andrew smiles up at him, as he stands and removes his coat, handing it to Ryo, who hangs it on his coat rack.

 

“I'm sure it'll be delicious Ryo, I would love to try it.”

 

Ryo smiles, as he goes in his drawer and pulls out his special blend and start the water to boil. He can feel the man's eyes watching his every move. “Ryo I was wondering something and I hope you don't think I'm being to bold but…”

 

At that time, Dee walks into the office and stops at the sight of the stranger, in his seat. He looks at Ryo, with a question on his face.

 

“Oh, hey Dee, this is Mr. Adams, he's the one I was telling you about. He's here to work with the sketch artist. This is my partner Det. Laytner.”

 

Andrew stands and puts out his hand, “Please to meet you Detective, I'm just trying to do my part.” He gives Dee a big smile to which Dee doesn't respond and turns to Ryo, “You're making tea?”

 

“Yeah, did you want some? I'm making it for Mr. Adams, but you can join us if you like.”

 

“Nah, I'll pass, it doesn't have enough caffeine for me.”

 

“Ryo, I thought we were on a first name basis now. Call me Drew please.”

 

Ryo cheeks turn pink, “Okay then, Drew it is and this is Dee.”

 

Drew smiles at Ryo and chuckles thinking, he made Ryo blush so he must be getting to the detective.

 

Before Dee can make a comment, in walks Steve and Traci and there are more introductions.

 

As Ryo hands Drew his tea, he lets his hand linger for a moment on Ryo's hand. He smiles up at the blonde man saying thanks and drops his blue eyes.

 

Ryo looks over at Dee, to see how he is taking all this, when the sketch artist walks in. He's a very burly man, with a gentle manner having to put the person at ease, he is working with.

 

Steve looks around the office, “Why don't we take this down to the conference room, I think we'll all be a little more comfortable there.”

 

“You go ahead, I have to speak to Ryo about something, and we'll catch up.”

 

Drew turns and looks at Dee with a slight frown and then at Ryo, “Is it okay to leave my coat here or should I take it with me?”

 

He is looking at Ryo with that intense look in his eyes as before and Ryo knew he wasn't at all worried about his coat. He was worried about him.

 

“This is a police station; no one would take it, I assure you.”

 

Drew laughs, “That's not what I meant, but I have my answer nonetheless.” He turns and follows the others out.

 

Dee walks to the door, closes it behind them and turns to Ryo.

 

“What's with that guy?! I thought he was going to jump you right here! Is he the one that Steven was talking about earlier?”

 

Ryo sits down, “Yeah he is. I almost didn't recognize him when he first came in. He didn't look like that, when we interviewed him earlier. He looks like he stepped off the cover of, G Q magazine. Do you think he was being friendly or flirting? He seems nice enough, but I think he was flirting.”

 

Dee walks over to Ryo and smacks him on the back of the head. “Man you need to seriously get you some gaydar. He was so flirting with you that I almost punched his lights out! I don't like this Ryo. There is something about the guy that isn't quite right. I'm not just talking about the fact, he has good taste in clothes and men but something else. So keep your eyes open and your guard up.”

 

Ryo glares at Dee and rubs the back of his head. He stands, looks at his desk and sees that Drew took his tea with him. He is feeling happy he likes his special tea.

 

“Come on Koi; let's catch up with the others. Don't let him upset you; I can handle myself, okay? I forgot, did you find JJ, is he okay?”

 

Dee puts his hands in his pockets and looks at Ryo. He smiles at the worried look on his face, because he was about to pop JJ, one earlier and now he is concern.

 

“He's fine, he saw us earlier and I guess it freaked him out. He knows how I feel about you, but I guess seeing it was a real slap in the face. Oh yeah, he said if you hurt me, you have to answer to him.

 

Ryo looks at him, “I guess he is fine, if he's making threats. That's good, because I don't want to feel awkward around him. Oh yeah, I told Drake about us too, but I didn't have a chance to tell Ted. We need to go to the local pub have a few drinks with the guys and make an announcement. What do you think?”

 

Dee smiles at him, he never takes for granted, Dee will follow his orders in their personal lives, only in work related matters. There he expected Dee to comply, without hesitation.

 

“Whatever you say man. It's cool with me, besides, we haven't been out with the guys in a while and tonight, we're all free.”

 

Ryo grabs his tea and both head for the conference room, with Dee carrying the file.

 

“You know what Dee, I think I'm going to get a mugshot book and see if we already have a picture of the man in there.”

 

Dee hands him the file, “Nah, you go ahead, your hands are already full, take this file and I'll get the mugshot book. Just don't flirt with him while I'm gone.”

 

Ryo chuckles, “Well you better hurry up, I don't see how I can resist him, in all that leather.”

 

Dee laughs with him, as he heads in the opposite direction.

Drew is talking to the artist and watching the door, looking for the gorgeous blonde detective. If he hadn't thought he might have a chance with him, he wouldn't be here. The way he blushes was just so hot; he knows he is getting to the blonde. He wonders if there is something going on with the partner Dee, but he remembers, with partners you're sometimes over protective.

 

He smiles and thinks to himself, “You don't have to worry about him with me; I will take very good care of him.”

 

“Is everything okay, Mr. Adams?” Steve looks at him since; he looks as if he has spaced out.

 

“No, it's nothing I'm fine. I'm just wondering what's taking Ryo so long. I didn't cause any problems did I, agent Homma?”

 

Steve smiles and thinks…Dee will answer that question.
