AN. This chapter has yet to be edited by both of my betas. Yaoinut has finished editing it and as soon as silver blue is finished I will edit it and repost the chapter.

 

Warning. None really. Just a teaser chapter

 

 

Chapter ten.

 

Dee and Drake sat in their office going through the case files and trying to make some kind of sense of the case. Well Drake worked on that while Dee sat in his chair with his feet on his desk chewing on a sandwich.

 

“Hey lazy head, would it kill you to help a little here?” Drake fumed. Dee could really be lazy as hell.

 

“What it's not like we're gonna find something new in the files today that we didn't find yesterday.” Dee took a gulp of coffee and continued to eat his sandwich.

 

“But we have to do something. We can't just let him drop another victim on us while we're just sitting here doing nothing.”

 

“Well that won't happen yet for a few weeks. I keep telling you we won't find him if it isn't a full moon out. It's a werewolf why won't you listen to me.” Dee sighed and swallowed the last of his sandwich before lighting up a smoke.

 

“I will listen to you the same day you start making sense. Stop talking about fantasy monsters, there are no such things. Seriously I'm beginning to think you have lost it.”

 

“Will you stop doubting me? There are beings like that out there. You have seen my scar yourself. That is made by said monster and you know it.” Drake snapped his head up and looked at Dee.

 

“Will you stop it? Yes you have a big scar on the shoulder but what its from I can't tell. Could be a big dog. And isn't it a fact that when bitten by a werewolf you automatically become one yourself? But look here you are and never have you had any fur or fangs on you.”

 

“Eh… well… Hey how come one who doesn't believe in this stuff knows so much about it?”

 

“Even I have been a kid. Now answer the question.”

“I don't know why I'm not turned, but I swear it was a big man whit wolf features. What else would you say it was?” Drake gave up.

 

“Whatever let's just give the files one more try before we get yelled at by the chief.”

 

But before Dee could do anything like that his phone rang.

 

“Hello Laytner here.” Drake got curious when he saw how Dee's face lit up when he heard the voice on the other end.

 

“Hey Randy, of course it does… You do…Great, let's meat outside the main entrance then…okay I'll see you then. Bye.” Drake's eyes got huge.

 

“No. Please Dee don't tell me you're sleeping with one of our witnesses?”

“Shut up. No we're not sleeping together…yet” Dee said with a grin plastered on his face.

 

“So that's why you haven't gone out with us lately, you have found a new conquest?” Drake chuckled. Dee drank the last of his coffee and answered slightly annoyed.

 

“No, it's not like that. I really like him and I want to get to know him. I have invited him to the baseball game next week.”

 

“Oh, you're taking him to the game huh, and after that? Are you going to seduce him?”

 

“No we won't be alone. His foster son is coming with us.” At this Drake looked like a fish without water.

“What? You're serious? I thought you hated kids. You really do like him. Wow! Never thought I'd see the day. Dee Laytner in love, that has to be first page news.”

 

“Ah shut up will you. Jeez, is it really that hard to see me being serious in a relationship?”

 

“Ah yes. You are an eternal player. The guys will love this.”

 

“Hey, take it easy now. I don't even know if what I'm feeling is `love' but there's definitely something there and I want to find out what that is.” Drake took pity on Dee and decided not to tease him.

 

“So does he feel the same for you?” Drake asked with a small smile.

 

“I'm trying to get him to find out.” Dee looked dreamily into the air. They didn't say anything for a few minutes then Dee sat straight and picked up a file.

 

“Well might as well humour you and read some then.” They sat like that for hours going over the files again.

The day of the game had arrived and Ryo was nervous as hell. He didn't really understand why he was feeling like that but he did. He had been having trouble sleeping during the day and thoughts and pictures of Dee whirled around in his head.

 

`How come he is able to affect me like this? I can't understand it at all.' The past days had been very good for Ryo as he had been able to relax without the constant reminder of his true life. But he really couldn`t get any good sleep. Every time he fell in a sleep deep enough the memories from Saturday's `dinner' came in form of nightmares.

 

Ryo stood in front of a mirror staring at the wall behind him. He still couldn't get why the reflection of a vampire disappears when they are created and still they can get caught in photos. Every time he woke up he walked to the bathroom to get ready in front of the mirror and every time he did a double take at the empty glass.

 

He was still nothing more than a fledgling, a baby if you will, a relatively new born one. How long had it been since Rose lured him into his web of deceit? Let's see, he had been working in the club for about nine months, but it was a year ago he was turned and forced to leave his home and his family, and only a month before Christmas at that.

 

`Christmas, wow I hadn't realised it was so close. Mom, Dad, I wish I could go visit your graves ver Christmas. I don't think Rose would let me though. And Elena If I didn't think I would put you in danger I'd give you a call right now. I miss you all so much.'

 

Ryo felt a tear flow down his cheeks as he went to his bedroom dresser and picked up a photo of him as a child, his parents, Elana and her husband Rick all together. He cried silently while looking at the photo.

 

`I could never face you now. You wouldn't ever be able to look upon me as the man you knew again. I'm nothing more than a freak now. I have to feed on human blood to survive. My parents must be crying in heaven when they look down upon me.'

 

He thought about the time when he first met Rose. His first thought had been about how Rose looked like a man with authority. He was a leader, but something dark lay behind those cold eyes, which gave Ryo the chills. Ryo shook his head to get rid of that memory.

 

He placed the photo back on the dresser and went out of the room to get lunch ready for Bikky who was getting home from school early. Then all the class was off until Wednesday so they could pack all they needed for the long trip.

 

XxXxXx

 

“Hey Ryo. Is lunch ready?” Yelled a hyper teenager from the doorway. Ryo smiled and put Bikkys plate on the table.

 

“Yeah it's on the table. So are you exited over the trip yet?”

 

“Hey let's focus on the game tonight first then tomorrow I'll start getting exited over the trip. You need to get your priorities right.” Bikky ran in and sat down to eat.

 

“Don't you mean `your' priorities?” Ryo laughed at Bikky as he threw food in his mouth. Bikky always ate like an animal when he was exited about things that were to happen. He washed the dishes as Bikky finished.

 

“Hey Ryo, are you really sure about this? I mean is it all right for you to be there with all those people and all the lights?”

 

It's all right Bikky. I'll do it for you. Besides the lights are all artificial and that wont hurt me. Why don't you ask what you really want to ask instead.” Ryo said with a knowing smile. Bikky frowned and said.

 

“All right. Did you really have to call that perverted cop to come along? I swear he want's to get into your pants.” Ryo's face was covered in red from that comment.

 

“Bikky! You know it was the right thing to do. He gave us the tickets. And besides I want to get to know him. I think he's nice.” Bikky scowled.

 

“You won't say that the day he catches you off guard and takes advantage of you.”

 

“Stop it Bikky, Don't talk about him like that. It wouldn't hurt for you to be nice to him either you know. Maybe you two would get along then.” Bikky rose from his seat.

 

“Yeah right and there are ping elephants flying outside our window.”

 

“And you wouldn't know that if you didn't find out first. You would need to go find out by lifting the curtain, not just make assumptions on things you can't see.” Ryo spoke and Bikky tried to make sense of it but shaking his head he gave up. He was no good with that kind of deep talk.

 

“Eh… yeah whatever, I'm gonna go and e-mail Carol and then I'm gonna choose tonight's clothes.” Bikky wondered off and Ryo was looking after him. Bikky was an amazing kid really, having lived through hell and still be such a cheerful boy as he is. How could one not envy him?

 

`Well it's time for me to shower I think. I also need to look for something to wear tonight.'

 

With that he left the kitchen thinking of how to dress and what Dee would appreciate o him. And with a slight blush on his cheeks he went into the bedroom and closed the door.

AN. Okay this is a short chapter and only half beta edited but that's only because I have a lot of press on me at the moment with becoming unemployed and my back problem blossoming up again. Doctors, who will do noting to help with it, stuff like that.

 

And I will post chapter eleven on Saturday but it might be totally unedited but I leave for Greece on Saturday afternoon so I will not be able to work at all for two weeks so I feel like posting two chapters before I leave.

 

I will edit the chapters once I get home again and hopefully Greece will give me tons of inspiration. See you next chapter.

 

Lot's of love, Enzeru
