Ryo and Dee make it back to the precinct and head for Rose's office. The others are in there and Rose tells everyone to go to the conference room. Dee heads for the chief's office to give him a heads up.

 

The Commissioner walks with Ryo and asks, “I'm guessing, Mr. Adams pulled through?”

 

Ryo smiles up at him, “Oh yes, he did Sir, it was touch and go for a minute when he was choking on his own saliva. They put a tube down his throat so we won't be able to talk to him until they remove it later today.”

 

Rose sighs, “I see…however Ryo, I don't think you should get to involved with our witness, it can only lead to complications.”

 

“How is that Sir?” Ryo looks up at Rose with a frown on his face.

 

“Well you know with him being interested in you and all.”

 

“And how could that complicate the case…Sir?” He can feel a blush as his temper rises.

 

The Commissioner puts his hands up as he exclaims, “Now Ryo, you know with something like this, he may say things just to get your attention and they may not be true.”

 

“Are you saying I wouldn't be able to tell when someone is lying to me? That I would believe anything someone told me because I thought, they had a crush on me. Not to mention, I'm not giving this person any encouragement at all. Nevertheless, he feels like this since he likes me, and then I won't believe he's full of shit. Is that what you're saying…Berkeley?”

 

Commissioner Rose looks at Ryo and clears his throat. Ryo smiles at him and turns, taking a seat in the middle of the long table so when Dee comes back, he can sit next to him.

 

Rose sits at the head of the table as the door opens and Dee walks in with the chief. He looks around, spots Ryo smiling at him and heads in his direction.

 

Ryo leans and whispers in Dee's ear. “Let's swing by the hospital before we head in for the night, okay?”

 

The hospital is the last place the younger detective wants to go but he smiles and agrees with Ryo. They both look up as they hear the Commissioner mention their names.

 

“Uh…detectives you were with Mr. Adams this afternoon, was he able to provide you with any more information as to who may have killed his employer and did all that damage to him?”

 

Dee answers, “We plan on going back to the hospital before we turn in for the night. He said there were three people with the owner and they are the ones that attacked him. He's in critical condition right now, so we have to be careful…Sir.”

 

“Yeah, thank you detective and Agent Dalton you picked up one of the suspects?”

 

“We have Ms. Sims in custody but if we can't charge her in 72 hours, she slips through our fingers. We need to know whom she is associating with. Right now, she is uncooperative. We need something that will tie her in with the death of Mr. Powell.”

 

Ryo looks at her, “Since you have the person providing her with the paper, can't you drop his name and see how she reacts?”

 

Rose smiles at him, “Good idea Ryo. Do you think you could do that Agent?” Steve and Traci look at each other, “We're supposed to keep that under warps for now and I really need to talk to my superiors first.” Steve looks around apprehensively.

 

Dee hits the table with the flat of his hand, “More bureaucratic bull-shit, how long you think that will take! Days or weeks Agent Homma, we need that information now?” Dee is angry with Steve for more than one reason.

 

Steve glares at Dee, “Look, I know we're a little slower then you guys here but we have to do things by the book or our case falls apart!”

 

Dee glares back at Steve as he taps his fingers on the table. “Well excuse me; I didn't know we were working on two separate cases. I was under the impression it was all one case with two elements to it.”

 

The Chief looks at Dee, “You know Det. Laytner does have a point even if he did put it badly. I want to know how we're going to go after her also.”

 

Ryo is stroking Dee's back trying to calm him down. Dee folds his arms and leans back smiling at Ryo, because he always tries to defuse his anger. He couldn't help going off they way he does since he knows there is always an easier way to get things done. In addition, he is tired and hungry having missed lunch, thanks to one Andrew Adams.

 

Ryo sighs; he knows Dee always gets cranky when he is hungry. “Commissioner Rose, I need to get something to eat or I'm going to pass out. We missed lunch today and it's already two.”

 

Rose looks at Ryo and around at everyone else, “Why don't we break for lunch and meet back here at say, 3:30. Will that give you enough time to feed him, Ryo?” The Commissioner gives him a smirk.

 

Ryo could feel himself blush as the Commissioner sees through his little scam and says, yes Sir. He and Dee get up and Ryo looks over at the Commissioner who is still smirking at him. Rose shakes his head at the blonde man and smiles to let him know he isn't upset with him.

Dee walks back into the office and grabs Ryo around the waist. “You are so good to me Ryo…thank you.” He kisses him and slides his tongue inside his lover's mouth. Ryo sucks on it and then pushes him back saying, “Down boy, I am not your lunch. Let's go grab a sandwich so you can be a little nicer to our co-workers.”

 

Drake comes into their office and asks if they would bring him back a sandwich because he and JJ didn't stop for lunch. JJ comes up as they are talking, “You know Ryo you weren't fooling anyone with that little act back there. We all know the Commissioner never refuses you anything. Dee-senpai is always cranky when he's hungry and he would have never let him go to lunch if he had asked.”

 

Ryo looks at JJ, “So…what's your point JJ? We all got what we wanted. You should be thanking me. Let's go Dee, I'm hungry.”

 

He takes off down the hall and Dee hurries to catch up with him while Drake and JJ look at their backs.

 

“One day, I'm going to really lose my temper and punch JJ just for being JJ!” Ryo fumes as he storms down the hall.

 

“You don't mean that Ryo, you're just mad because he knows the Commissioner has a crush on you.”

 

“Tell me something I don't know. Everyone knows that, but they don't throw it in my face like that. I have never given that man any indication that I was the slightest bit interested in him and if he doesn't want me to have my way then he needs to stop giving it to me. JJ has a lot of nerve the way he chases after you! At least the Commissioner doesn't jump me every time he sees me and yeah I heard about the hug you gave him.”

 

Ryo walks through the doors leaving Dee to catch it before it hits him.

 

“Hey wait a minute Ryo, why are you mad at me?”

 

“You always find a way to defend JJ, no matter what. As long as he isn't making you mad every thing he does is fine with you that's why!”

 

“I'm sorry babe; I don't mean to do that. I just feel sorry for the guy.”

 

“If you feel so sorry for him why don't you be with him? Maybe I'm just wasting your time when you could be with someone that is use to being with men and you don't have to take your time with him. Maybe he can be more of a man than I am.”

 

Ryo puts his hand over his mouth after that out burst and turns red because he spoke aloud. He turns to see if anyone is listening but luckily, there is no one outside the station but them. He walks toward the car and Dee follows not saying a word. He gets behind the wheel as Ryo gets in on the passenger side and stares out the window.

 

Dee glances at Ryo and starts the car up. He lights a cigarette, lets his window down, and looks at Ryo again. He is sitting with his head towards the passenger side window looking at the scenery.

 

“You know I don't want JJ or anyone else don't you, Ryo?”

 

“I know that Dee.”

 

“I'm only taking things slow because I don't want to hurt you. You do believe me, don't you babe?”

 

“We've gone all the way four times Dee, four times! How am I going to get use to it if you wait like that? Sometimes, I want to feel you inside me so badly I want to scream, but I follow your lead and I know you're not satisfied, because I'm not.”

 

“Why didn't you tell me this before?”

 

“I'm telling you now.”

 

“Well love, I hear you loud and clear. Your chaste nights are over.”

 

Ryo looks at Dee and for the first time he does not blush when he takes Dee's hand and kisses it.

 

“I promise you won't regret it, Dee.”

Taylor Sims is in the interrogation room sitting quietly and fuming.

 

The others are watching her for any sign of her giving in and cooperating. They see none.

 

Steve looks at Traci, “Should we question her or let the detectives do it. We did tell her it was a murder investigation and not the counterfeit after all.”

 

She turns to the Commissioner, “What do you think Rose, should we wait on Dee and Ryo?”

 

“Ah…Dee is a first class interrogator and he and Ryo work well together and there is the fact that Ryo seems to be rather fond of Mr. Adams so I think we should let the two of them have a go at her first.”

“We have your sandwich here Drake so eat fast, Ryo wanted to eat at the diner so you're on your own.” He hands the bag to Drake and flops down behind his desk watching his partner who is hanging up his jacket. He smiles at the blonde thinking about their conversation earlier and sighs deeply.

 

“You okay Dee? You sound like you're ready to call it a day.” Drake takes a bite of his sandwich as he stares at Dee.

 

“Well Drake, as a matter of fact I am. I have some plans when I get off tonight and I'm anxious to get started…right Ryo?”

 

Ryo blushes, “I'm sure Drake doesn't want to hear about our plans for tonight. Let's go find the Commissioner so we can get out of here.”

Berkeley Rose sighs and looks at the others, “Well we knew it was a long shot keeping her here, but JJ you did arrest her bodyguard for the gun didn't you?” JJ nods yes.

 

“And Mr. Adams did say there were three men, maybe one of them is the guard. Someone get his picture and we can show it to our victim and see if he can make a positive ID and then we get him to at least give us some answers. Ryo take care of that please.”

 

“Yes Sir, come on Dee let's get going.” Dee chuckles and follows Ryo out of the office.

Ryo is standing over Drew's bed looking down at the once handsome man, smiling. He looks over at Dee who is leaning against the wall watching him with a smirk on his face.

 

“Drew I have some pictures here I want you to look at and tell me if you recognize anyone. I'll be quick so you can get your rest, okay.”

 

Drew looks up at Ryo, “That's how I got this way, helping you. What if they come back for me, what do I do then Ryo?”

 

“We have a police guard on your door and I promise I'll be here to check on you every day. You know we do have something called witness protection.”

 

Drew closes his eyes, opens them again, and says, “Let me see the pictures.”

 

He tries to focus on the pictures but his sight is somewhat fuzzy. He looks up at Ryo, “Can I get some more light please?”

 

Ryo looks over at Dee as he straightens up and turns on the overhead lights.”

 

Ryo puts his arm under his head and lifts it gently as he sits on the side of the bed. Dee walks over to the bed, stands next to Ryo, takes the pictures out of his hands, and looks at him with a frown. He shows the pictures to Drew and asks if he remembers seeing any of them and Drew points out the bodyguard. Ryo eases his head back down and pulls the blanket up.

 

“You've been a big help Drew, now you get some sleep and remember the guards are right outside to protect you and they have my number in case something happens.”

 

Drew looks up at him and smiles, “Thanks Ryo, I do feel better and thank you too Dee.”

 

Dee mumbles under his breath `its okay' and heads for the door. He doesn't like seeing Ryo pay so much attention to the injured man; he knows Drew wants Ryo, for himself.

 

Ryo comes out of the room pulling the door up behind him, talks to one of the officers telling them, if Drew wanted them to call him, they should, anytime and hands him his card. He looks over at Dee watching and tells the officers goodnight.

 

“I guess we have the answer to at least one of our questions. Lets head back to the precinct and let the Commissioner know he has identified the guard.” Ryo ignores Dee's pout.

 

Dee says nothing as they walk back to the car and gets behind the wheel. Ryo glances over at him and turns back to the window. He knows why Dee is upset, but he feels guilty about Drew getting hurt as if it was his fault.

 

“Ryo…you know I didn't like the way you was all over him…you act like you've been friends a long time. I hate to admit it, but I agree with Rose, you should have never gotten involved with Drew.” He starts the car and pulls out into the traffic.

 

Ryo looks at him with a slight smirk, “I would have never thought you and Rose would agree on anything and when you do, it's about me paying attention to someone other then the two of you. Do you think the field is too crowed for you? Do you think I'm going to start having feelings for him like I do for you, Dee?”

 

“No it's not like that Ryo. I know you won't develop feelings for Drew; I just don't like seeing you paying another man that much attention. I get jealous babe you should know that. I want you all to myself all the time.” Dee stares straight ahead, biting on his lower lip.

 

Ryo looks at Dee, puts his hand out and touches his arm. He pats it and says nothing because he understands how he feels.

 

They drive in silence back to the station each immersed in their own thoughts.
