Ryo sits back in his seat as he looks at Dee. “I didn't say I would go out with him, Dee. You need to calm down and stop yelling at me. He only wanted to get to know me. He is my superior after all. I had planned to get out of it anyway. Why are you so angry with me?”
 
Dee looks at him and looks away. He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. He says in a very calm voice, “Look, Ryo, I love you, man. I don't want you going out with him, or Julie, or anyone else. I know I'm being selfish, but I want all your time to be with me. I don't want to share you with anyone, not even Bikky, but there, I know I have no other choice.
 
“I can't help it, Ryo. I want you all to myself. There, I said it, but I don't care! You hate me now, don't you?”
 
Ryo shakes his head and tells him that, he is not going to dinner, with the Commissioner, and he will let him know first thing in the morning.
 
Ryo steals a look at Dee's profile and thinks to himself how handsome he is. There is no way he will give up spending time with Dee, to be with Berkley Rose. He looks at Dee again and notices a smile, creeping up on his face. “You're not angry anymore?” He puts his hand out, touching the younger man on the arm.
 
Dee glances at him and back to the street, as he grins. “Nah, I'm okay. I guess I got a little carried away, because he told me that he was going to go after you. When I saw him talking to you, I lost it.”
 
The blonde-haired detective, leans his head back against the seat and sighs. “This has been one very emotional day. I hope someone else finds our perp, so I can curl up and get some sleep. I'm exhausted.”
 
“Dee, you have to know that I am not interested in Berk…I mean the Commissioner. He was probably trying to be nice to the new guy. Please do not make a big deal of this. I'm sure I'm not the first one he has been nice to.”
 
Dee gives him a harsh laugh. “I have known the Commissioner since he came here, two years ago, and he has never, I repeat, never, allowed anyone to call him by his first name, or ask any one of the guys to dinner `to get to know them better'. The man has the hots for you, Ryo, and if I didn't interrupt the two of you, he would have kissed you, right in the squad room, for Christ's sake!”
 
“Okay, I understand what you're saying, but why would you think he was trying to kiss me in there? I'm sure a man of his standing, would know better, then to do something like that, to a subordinate. It must be all in your mind, Dee.”
 
Dee hits the steering with the palm of his hand and growls again. “You don't get it, do you? Ryo, do you even look, at yourself in the mirror? Have you seen, your reflection at all? I don't know what you see, but I see the most beautiful man, in the world and I'm sure he sees it, too. You light up a room when you come in Ryo, and you always take my breath away, even when I saw you for the first time. That bastard is up to no good, and I know it; you need to be on your guard, when you're around him.”
 
“Oh really, Dee, you act as if he is going to sweep me away and I won't have any say so. Look, we're here. There's the building; we'll talk about this later.”

On the other side of town, Mona and Julie are sitting in Mona's living room, having drinks, when Mona starts cursing, Det. Dee Laytner.
 
“I can't believe that bastard trick me, into dumping him like that, and you say that Randy broke up with you, too? This is too much! How in the hell were we dumped, on the same night no less. There has got to be something going on.”
 
Julie looks at her with a puzzled look on her face. “Just because they are partners, you think they had this planned? When Dee came in, he had no idea that Randy was with me. In fact, he called him by a different name. What did he call him?”
 
“He called him Ryo. Remember, he said that the guy is half Japanese.” She looks at her sister. “Why didn't you know that, Julie? You had been seeing the guy for a few weeks; it seems you would at least know that much about him.”
 
“I knew all I needed to know, about him. He did not look Japanese, to me; he has blonde hair, for god's sake. Who has ever heard of a blonde Japanese? I know he has dark eyes, but that made him even more appealing. I hope he calls me back.”
 
Mona looks at her sister, with a frown. “Call you back? Don't tell me you called him, begging him to take you back?”
 
Julie smiles at her sister, over the rim of her glass. “I just left him a message saying I want to talk to him. There is nothing wrong with that, is there? I have a feeling that he did not want to stop seeing me. You don't think Dee had anything to do with it, do you? Wait, didn't he say he is bisexual?”
 
Mona sits back and nods her head. “Yeah, he did say that, and his partner is a good-looking man. It stands to reason that Dee might have a thing for him. Why else would he have behaved the way he did? You know something; I think I will pay that bastard back. He has a lot of nerve, pulling that shit on me.” She brings her glass to her lips, draining the rest of her drink.
 
She hands her glass to her sister, as she thinks about Dee. She wants him to suffer, as she is doing. “Give me another drink, and this time, don't put any coke in it. I think I'm coming up with a plan for him, yeah, a plan for Mr. Laytner. You might want to take notes, Julie. I have a way to get him back and stop his little infatuation, before it gets off the ground.” She puts her fingers in her hair, and brings one end too her mouth as she gives her sister a wicked smile.

Ryo and Dee leave the building after talking to Robert Carson's brother, Michael. He tells them he has not seen his brother, and if he did, he would not tell them where he is. Dee wanted to argue with the man, but Ryo managed to calm them both down.
 
“Well, that was a waste of time, but I can't say I blame him.” Dee stands by the car door as he lights a cigarette, and Ryo pulls open the passenger side door.
 
Looking over at Ryo, he notices the frown on his face. “What's up, Ryo?”
 
“You know, the whole time we were there, he kept us in one room, and it says here that he has children, but I didn't see any of them.” He is looking down at the paper in his hand on Michael Carson. “When company comes even if it is the police, they are always there and have to be shooed away. So, where were his children?”
 
“So, you think the children were with the uncle in the back perhaps?”
 
“Yeah, that's what I think anyway.”
 
“Maybe, we should test that theory. Why don't we just drive to the next block and come back and keep watch?”
 
Ryo looks over at Dee and smiles. It seems as if they were on the same page.

Dee leans up against the apartment building, three doors down from the brother's house, while Ryo is watching the back. They have been out here for two and a half hours, waiting for Carson to show.
 
Dee is about to call Ryo on the police radio, when he sees the brother come out of the building. He looks around and Dee tries to make himself one with the building. He peeps around slowly and sees him go back inside, still looking over his shoulder.
 
He calls Ryo on the radio, and tells him something is going down and to be ready. He sneaks over until he is next to the brother's building. He sees Ryo as he comes between the two buildings with his gun pointed towards the ground. He takes his gun from his holster, doing the same.
 
Carson and his brother both come out of the building and head for the car, parked to the right of Dee. Ryo comes up behind the two men. Carson suddenly turns and lifts his gun to shoot.
 
Dee fires his weapon as Ryo drops to one knee. Michael spins around with the force of Dee's bullet and falls back into his brother as he shoots at Ryo.
 
Dee runs over to the men with his gun pointed at Carson as he lies partially under his brother. He kicks the gun from his open hand and goes over to Ryo. He has never known fear as he knows it now, watching his partner as he falls to the ground.
 
“Ryo! Ryo! Are you okay man!” He bends over him, looking at the blood, covering his face. “Say something, Ryo!” He pulls his radio out. “I have a 1051! Officer down, I need a wagon, and hurry the hell up!” He looks over at the other two men and sees Carson moving. He puts Ryo's head down gently and walks over to the other men.
 
“You're not going anywhere, shit-head! Your ass is mine!” He has raised his foot.
 
“Dee! No, Dee, don't do it”
 
He turns and looks at Ryo with a look of relief on his face. “You okay, buddy? I called for help; they should be here any minute!”
 
He looks back down at Carson and puts handcuffs on him. He looks over his shoulder and sees a woman in the doorway with her hand too her mouth, looking on in horror. There are three children behind her and they are all looking at him.
 
He walks back over to his partner, kneels down beside him and tries to wipe some of the blood from his face with the sleeve of his jacket. He smiles and tries to give him a brave look. “You had me scared there for a minute, partner, but I think you're going to make it. Why did you come up behind them like that?”
 
Ryo tries to sit up as the blood spills from the bullet wound. “He only grazed me; I ducked before he could get a really clean shot off. You're pretty good with that gun, aren't you, partner?”
 
Dee chuckles as they both hear the sirens in the background. “There's no way I'll let a scum bag like that take you out. Here, use my jacket, and I need your cuffs.” He reaches on the side of Ryo, takes his cuff off, and whispers in his ear. “I wish I could kiss you right now.” He gets up and walks over to the two brothers, cuffing them facing each other.
 
Drake runs from the car, with JJ close behind. “Dee-senpai, are you okay!” Dee turns and cringes as JJ runs straight into him, knocking him down. Drake looks at the shorter man and yells at him, “God dam JJ, get the fuck off him! Are you fucking crazy?!”
 
“Get the hell off me, you moron! I'm fine, stupid!” He is trying to push JJ off and get up at the same time. “Drake, pull him the fuck off now, before I shoot his ass!” Drake grabs his partner by the collar, pulling him off Dee.
 
The paramedics arrived, and Dee led one over to Ryo as he lay back on the ground with Dee's jacket under his head. As they worked on him, the Chief pulls up with one of the uniforms driving.
 
“What happened here, Detective?” He looks over at Ryo, and then at the two men being loaded into the ambulance. Dee comes over with his cuffs in his hand as he says, “We need to send someone with those two. I have to see about my partner and I'll tell you what happened at the hospital, Chief.”
 
He walks over to Ryo, watching as the man bandaged his head. “You need to see a doctor about this wound, Detective. You've lost a lot of blood.” The EMT looks at Ryo as he shuts his bag. “I think you are going to need a couple of stitches. There is another car coming; they can take you.”
 
Ryo looks over at Dee. “My partner will take me in, so just concentrate on the other two.” Dee comes over, takes Ryo's arm, and looks at Drake. “My car is up on the corner, so give me your keys and go and get mine, okay, man?”
 
“Sure, I can do that. Here you go, Dee.” He hands his keys to Dee and heads to the corner with JJ. The chief heads to the hospital behind the ambulances.
 
Dee puts his arm around Ryo and leads him to the car. As he is getting in, the brother's wife approaches the car. “Excuse me Detective, but is my husband going to jail?”
 
Dee glares at her. “Your husband tried to hide his brother from the police. He will be charged with aiding and abetting a criminal. Hell, he might be charged with more, depending on what the DA wants to do.”
 
Ryo interrupts Dee. “Tell her she can go to the hospital with us Dee.”
 
He looks down at Ryo and is about to object when he sees the look in his eyes. “If you like, you can ride with us. Do you have someone to look after your children, because we don't have room for everyone?”
 
“Thank you; I'll just be a minute.” She runs back to where her children were and talks to someone standing near by.
 
Dee gets in the car and looks over at Ryo. “Why did you want her to ride with us? She may ask questions all the way there. Maybe she won't get a babysitter.”
 
Ryo puts his head back against the seat and closes his eyes. “Come on, Dee; she didn't have anything to do with all of this. It was her husband who decided to help his brother.”
 
“Yeah, well, he could have killed you. My heart almost stopped when he turn on you with that gun. He thinks he has nothing to lose, and that is why he tried to kill you. What is one more murder added to his list? He killed the man that assaulted his wife and wounded three officers. His ass is knee deep in shit, no matter what the reason.”
 
Mrs. Carson comes back and Dee gets out, letting her in the backseat before he gets back in the front. “You okay, Ryo, you don't look too good.” He looks at him as he starts the car. Ryo's eyes close slowly as he passes out.
