Chapter 19

Ryo sends Dee home for the night and is alone in bed regretting it.
Right now, all he can think about is Dee and Mona getting married. The thought that comes to mind is `over my dead body'. He has a feeling in his gut she is lying. if she were having a baby she would have told Dee about her appointment with the doctor.
Talking to her sister may help since she acts as if she is still interested in him. He needs more female friends to find out the ways something like this can be faked and carried out. Relying on Julie to snitch her sister out is pretty risky, but he is willing to give it the old college try. This is something he will keep it to himself Dee may not approve.

Dee arrives at the precinct and goes straight to his and Ryo's office. He walks in with a big smile on his face that freezes when he sees the commissioner leaning over the desk talking with Ryo.
“Am I interrupting something?” He throws his briefcase on his desk making a loud noise.
The two men look up at him in surprise. “Oh, hey Dee, you startled me. How are you this morning?” Ryo smiles at him and looks at Rose guiltily.
Berkeley Rose smirks at Dee, “So you finally made it detective. I was just having your partner fill me in on the progress the two of you are making on your case.”
“We don't start work until nine; it's five minutes of, now. So did you get all the information you need, Sir, or do you need my input?”
Berkeley looks at Dee and down at Ryo, giving the honey blonde a warm smile, “No, I got what I came for detective. Your partner is very informative, if I do say so myself.”
“Then I guess you will be leaving now, won't you, Sir?” Dee folds his arms across his chest because the last thing he is expecting to see is the Commissioner in his office talking to Ryo, first thing in the morning.
Rose chuckles as he heads for the door. He stops and turns, “Oh, I almost forgot, how are your wedding plans coming along, detective. I guess before long you will be a married man and on your honeymoon, huh?” He walks out the door before Dee can figure out a comeback.
“I hate that bastard! He's always trying to get you alone. Were you really talking about the case or was he trying to date you again?” he glares at Ryo as if he has done something wrong.
“I told you before he is not trying to date me. I told him what we have so far on the Goldman case and he told me, Ted and Marty are the ones who will pick up the boss.” He cocks his head to the side looking at Dee. He gets up and closes the door to their office. Leaning against it with his hands on the doorknob, he smiles at his lover.
“Did you miss me last night, Dee?” He has a blush that gives him a warm glow, as he looks into dark green eyes alight with passion.
The raven-haired man gives him a slow smile as he walks over and puts his hand on the door behind Ryo's head. He leans down and whispers, “You want me to show you, love?” He licks Ryo's bottom lip before sliding his own inside, tasting the sweetness of his lover and partner.
The older man slides his arms around his neck as he moans into the kiss, stroking Dee's tongue with his own. As the two lovers clash for dominance, Dee relents to the older man gladly. He groans when they come up for air and whispers, “This is the way I like starting all my mornings. With you in my arms and love in my heart, I feel I can do anything.”
Ryo pulls out of his arms and giggles, “I love hearing you say things like that. It's embarrassing but I still like hearing it.” He walks over behind his desk and sits down.
Dee smiles as he removes his jacket and sits down facing his partner. “Did you get a chance to come up with a doable plan yet, Ryo?”
“I went over several last night after you left but right now I'm not so sure it will work. I don't want to discuss it yet because you may not agree with me. She might be expecting for real.” Ryo rubs his chin as he gazes up at the ceiling.
Dee looks at him and throws a pencil at him, “Don't punk out on me now, Ryo. I'm depending on you. I hope you're not saying you want me to marry her.” He glares at his partner with barely contain anger.
“Don't be stupid! I want to prove she is lying as much as you do if not more. My future is at stake here too you know. I don't want anyone but you Dee.” He stares back at Dee in confusion.
Dee settles back in his seat and smiles at his partner. “That's more like it. You had me worried for a minute. Don't scare me like that, okay? I'm going for some coffee, you want some?” He gets up and grabs his mug as he looks at Ryo.
Ryo fishes in his drawer and pulls out a bag. He opens it and hands Dee his mug. He smiles up at the raven-haired man as he takes it from his hand.
“You keep your mug in a bag?”
“Yes, you have a problem with that?”
“No, but don't you think that's kind of weird. Are you afraid of germs or something?”
“No, but that is a good idea. I just don't want anyone using it but me. If I keep it in my drawer in a bag no one sees it, especially the night crew.”
Dee opens the door shaking his head, “Whatever dude. I'll be right back.” He walks to the break room and Ryo returns to his paperwork.

Drake sticks his head in and asks if he has seen JJ. “I think I lost my partner and we have to go out on a call. You haven't seen him around here have you?”
Ryo smiles up at the detective and shakes his head, “He may have seen Dee go to the break room and followed him there. Why don't you check and see, Drake.”
He nods and heads for the break room. Hoping Dee isn't cussing out his partner.

Dee is standing at the coffee machine pouring coffee when JJ sneaks up behind him since Ryo is nowhere in sight. He eases over to Dee and grabs him around the waist. Dee spills coffee on his hand and the front of his shirt.
“Shit JJ, you made me burn myself!” He pushes the younger man trying to get him to let him go. “Get the fuck off me, you bastard! Let me go!”
JJ has his head down and is holding on from the back and Dee can't do anything but try to peel his hands away. Drake comes in as the other detectives laugh at the sight of JJ holding on to the much larger man. Dee is yelling so loud that Drake runs over to the two. He goes over to JJ and tells him to let Dee go. JJ shakes his head.
Drake looks over his shoulder and yells, “Oh shit, here comes Ryo!”
JJ drops his hands and jumps back looking around for the blonde haired detective. “Where, where!”
The people in the break room laugh at the expression on JJ's face as he looks around wildly. Dee looks for his partner too but he sees that Drake was lying to get JJ to release him. He grabs his two coffees and high tails it back too his office.
Drake watches as he leaves and turns to JJ. “If you don't want to encounter his partner you should give up this obsession you have with Dee. Besides, I think he and Ryo have a thing going on if you know what I mean. Dee even broke off his engagement with Mona because of Ryo. That should tell you something.”
JJ looks at Dee as he hurries out and turns to Drake. “I know I may never have Dee-senpai but a man can dream. Ryo is not the one for him I'm better looking and better skilled than he is, Drake. Why would Dee-senpai want that violent man?”
“Did it ever occur to you that you are the only one that thinks that, JJ? When Dee needed help he called to his partner and he responded!”
“He didn't have to go ballistic on me. Dee-senpai knows when I do that, I'm only kidding. Wait a minute; the engagement is off?” JJ looks at Drake with wide eyes.
“Ted told me they called it off last week. It looks like Dee has the hots for his new partner. He is bi-sexual as he likes to tell everyone.”
JJ looks up with a smile on his face. He spins around throwing his arms in the air. “I knew he couldn't marry her! I do have a chance with him, I just know it!”
Drake looks at him with his mouth open because JJ didn't focus on anything but the part where Dee is a free man. He shakes his head at the younger man and tells him, “We have to go out JJ, let's go.”

Dee arrives back in his office and closes the door with his foot. Ryo looks up at him, “What happen now? How did you manage to spill coffee on your shirt, so early in the morning?” He gets up and takes his coffee from Dee's hand.
Dee looks down at his shirt, “Damn, that littler bastard! I ran into JJ, or I should say he ran into me. Why does this shit always happen too me. One day I'm going to kill that little…”
“You should be use to it by now, I am. Why don't you go change your shirt and I'll finish up the reports.” Ryo chuckles at Dee as he leaves out and sips on his coffee.
The phone rings and the honey blonde detective pick it up and says hello. He cringes when he recognizes the voice.
“Hello, is Dee in yet? This is his fiancée, Mona.”
“Hello Mona, Dee is away from his desk right now but I will let him know you called. Do you want him to call you back?”
“Oh, is this his partner?”
Ryo rolls his eyes, “Yes it is, this is Randy MacLean.” He smiles because she is acting as if they haven't met.
“Randy, could you tell Dee to call me. I want to go over some wedding plans with him. He did tell you the wedding is back on didn't he?”
“We are partners, Mona and yes he did.” Ryo is trying to control his temper.
“I know that but he didn't tell you the first time did he? When did he tell you? Was it last night or this morning at work?”
“I have a ton of work too do and as soon as Dee arrives I will inform him of your call.. If you will excuse me, good-bye.” He hangs the phone up and sits back in his seat. He runs his fingers through his hair and wants to scream but thinks better of it.
He gets out of his seat, walks over to the file cabinet, and puts his hands on top. He has his head down, growls under his breath and gives one of the drawers a swift kick!
“Whoa, partner! What did the cabinet do to you! You alright buddy?” Dee is standing in the doorway looking at him in surprise in a fresh shirt. They always keep spares in their locker in case of some such emergencies.
Ryo spins around at the sound of his voice and blushes, “I didn't see you standing there.” He goes to his seat and stands holding the back. He looks over at Dee. “Close the door, Dee.”
Dee looks at him questionably, “Now what the fuck is going on?” He leans against the door with his hands in his pocket bracing for the worst.
“Your fiancée just called.” Ryo is taking deep breaths as he looks in Dee's face.
Dee walks over to him and reaches out to touch him. Ryo backs away as he looks up in his emerald eyes. “She wants you to call her back. She says she has some wedding plans to discuss with you. Wedding plans Dee! Now she sounds like Commissioner Rose, with wedding plans.”
Dee folds his arms in front of him and stares at his partner, “What's the matter Ryo. Have you changed your mind? I thought we were in this shit together! I can't help it if she calls here with that crap. She thinks I'm going to marry her, for christ's sake!” He storms over to his desk and fumbles in his pocket for a cigarette.
Ryo takes his seat and puts his elbows on his desk and his chin on the back of his hands. He looks at Dee and comes to realize he is right. They are in this together but...when he hears her voice he gets jealous and he can't help it. Knowing she just may be having his child is something he doesn't want to be true. He doesn't want to share Dee with no one and especially Mona!
The blonde-haired man lets out an exasperated sigh, “I'm sorry, Dee. It's just that I hate hearing her smug voice. She acts as if she has won a prize or something. I hate what she is putting you through, knowing there is nothing I can do. I know it's not your fault, I allow her to get to me. I'll try to do better from now on.” He gives Dee a smile and puts his head down, picking up his papers.
“I'm sorry too man. All this shit is my fault no matter how you clean it up. I promise when I get out of this I will never look at a woman again. From now on, you can call me the fag of all fags.”
Ryo laughs at him, “I don't think you have to go that far. Just make sure you don't have sex with any…”
“Hey Dee we got the boss in the interrogation room. Rose said the two of you can listen in but he doesn't want you inside. He may change his tune and send Ryo in like before. You should have been here, dude. Ryo did in five minutes what we couldn't do in thirty.” Drake shakes his head, “I'll see you guys when I get back. Let me know what happen and good luck.”
Ryo and Dee stand, smiling at the other. Ryo reaches out and grabs Dee's hand, “He's the last one Dee. When we charge him, Bikky will be safe. This is great, right Dee!”
“Yeah babe, it is great news. Now if the bastard will only give us a confession, we will have half our problems solved. Knowing the criminals in this city it will be like pulling teeth.”
“Whatever, lets go so we can see the interrogation. Since we have permission we may as well take advantage.” Ryo heads for the door and stops. “I forgot…you have to all Mona.”
“Screw that, if she wants to talk wedding plans it can wait.” Dee follows Ryo out the door and down to the holding room.
XXXXXXX
Mona hangs up the phone and smiles to herself. `That bastard! Dee probably went to his house when he left last night. Well it doesn't matter now, Dee will be my husband and what you think he feels for you will be a memory.'
She laughs as she picks the phone back up and calls a friend.
“Did you set everything up for me?”
“Of course, everything should go as planned. I told the doctor you are a friend. I'll do all the lab work so there shouldn't be a problem. You know the doctor will see you only this one time, right?”
“Yeah I know that, silly. I only need to see him one time and this way Dee knows I'm under a doctor's care. By the time he finds out, I'm not expecting a baby will be married and I just may be pregnant for real. He is such a sex addict; he won't be able to resist me for long.” She laughs as she thinks her plan is working perfectly.
“Come in tomorrow, around 4:30. I'll have Dr. Craven see you right away, okay?”
“Thanks, I want to marry him and the only way he will agree is if I am expecting. I know he loves me and if it wasn't for his damn partner I wouldn't have to go through these changes. I'll see you tomorrow.”

Dee and Ryo look at Jim Morris through the glass. He's a burly man with large hands, small beady eyes and bushy eyebrows. He darts his eyes at Marty and Ted and grumps, “I don't talk without my lawyer. You don't have nothing on me! Get me my lawyer I know my rights!” He sits back and folds his arms, as he looks daggers at the two detectives.
Ted smiles down at him, “Your lawyer is on the way, Mr. Morris and you don't have to speak with us, you're right. However just listen; you can do that can't you?”
Jim looks at him and gives him the smallest of nods.
“Let me outline what we have on you. We have witnesses to the shooting of the kids playing ball. Now we have them in our custody. After we spoke to them, we have you in our custody. Your lawyer will be here shortly and you do have the right to remain silent. However you Mr. Claymore are going no where, whether you speak to us or, not.” He smiles over at Marty, “Tell him why partner.”
Marty moves over to the table, puts both hands down, and leans over to him. “No one likes child killers. You are going down for this and you don't have too say a word. We have two signed statements saying you ordered the hit. Your mistake was ordering it on a policeman's son.”
Jim looks at the two detectives in alarm. “Wait a minute, I didn't order no hit on a cop's kid! Somebody is lying on me, I swear!”
Ted looks at Marty and he nods, “We'll be back later, when your lawyer gets here, but I don't think we will be able to work anything out then. They are always telling you not to say this and not to say that. You do know in New York we have lethal injections, right?”
“No lawyer in the country will be able to help you. Right now, the only thing you can do is try and talk your way into some jail time. But I guess you want to wait and see what your lawyer says, right? Let's go Ted. I'm kind of thirsty myself.”
“Wait, get the DA in here I want a deal!”
Ryo and Dee slap hands in a high five and the others cheer, but not to loud. “I'll go and get Ross, she will be happy to give him a deal!” Dee takes off as Ryo smiles behind his back.

Back in the office, Ryo looks over at Dee. “Have you called Mona yet? I'm sure she's waiting on you?” He stacks the papers on his desk in neat little piles. Having Dee in his life is something he wants more than anything. Sharing Dee is something he knows he will never do. If he has to go through with this wedding then it's over for the two of them. Love or no love he will not be his something on the side.
Dee puts the tip of his pen in his mouth as he watches Ryo. He feels his lover must be worried no matter what he says. The older man has been straightening the papers on his desk since they came back into the office. He smiles over at Ryo and reaches for his phone.
“I'll do that right now. You want to hear my conversation with her. You know I don't want to go through with this wedding and if she pisses me off I just may go off on her. You sure you want to hear that?” He lifts the corner of his mouth as he stares at him.
Ryo looks over at him, “How rude can you be to her Dee? You won't talk to her the way you talk to JJ, will you?” He gives him a half smile. “I remember you yelling at her in my apartment, but I don't remember you saying anything inappropriate. If you want me to leave, I will.”
Dee tosses the pen at his head, “Its okay, dork. I don't mind, you can listen.” He pulls out his cell phone and dials her number. Ryo watches him with a grimace on his face.
“What's up? Ryo told me you called. What do you want now?” He looks over at his partner and purses his lips together. Ryo blushes and shakes his head. He picks his papers back up and level them even more so.
“We need to talk about the wedding and I have an appointment tomorrow to see the doctor. Do you want to go with me?”
Dee sits up in his seat, “What time are you going?”
Ryo watches with an anxious look on his face. He can only hear Dee's side of the conversation but it seems as if he will be seeing her soon.
“I'll be there, just give me the address.” He looks for his pen, forgetting he threw it at Ryo. The blonde-haired man looks at him as he searches for his pen and smiles. He picks up his pen and waves it in his face. Dee makes a face at him as Ryo holds onto the pen.
“Come on Ryo, please.” Dee is begging and Mona can hear him.
“Excuse me, what are you pleading for?” she sounds a little annoyed.
“My knucklehead partner has my pen and he won't give it to me. May I please have the pen, Ryo? This is important, man. Quit playing.”
Ryo throws the pen and he catches it, “Some people never grow up.” He chuckles as he asks for the address from Mona.
“I would think you are to busy to play games at work, Dee.”
Dee laughs, “I do my job just fine, thank you very much. I'll meet you there at 4:30, bye Mona.” He hangs up and tosses the pen back at his lover.
Ryo catches it and smiles over at him. I take it you're going to pick out the wedding cake?”
“In your dreams. Unbelievably, she's made a doctor's appointment. I told her I would meet her there. I'm hoping the doctor tells her she is not pregnant. If we find out tomorrow, I'm coming over to celebrate with you, okay, buddy?”
Ryo sighs, “Don't get to cocky, Dee. They may give you the news she is having your child. Is there a chance she may have been seeing someone on the side? That would answer your baby question. You did say you used protection, right?”
Dee chews on his bottom lip. “Yeah, we did but there is no guarantee, is there? I never though I would meet someone like you. The first time I laid eyes on your smile, I was hooked. You have such a beautiful smile Ryo. You can get me to agree to anything you want when you smile at me.” He looks over at Ryo as he blushes and turns his head away.
“I told you before not to talk like that in the office Dee. When you say things like that, I want to kiss you. You still want to go ahead with trying to prove she isn't pregnant?”
“I'm going to the doctor with her, so hold off on it for now, angel. She can't lie to a doctor, right. Maybe she is making an honest mistake. Don't get me wrong I still don't want to marry her but we both have to think of it as a possibility.” He gets up, stands behind Ryo's chair, and puts his hands on his shoulders.
Ryo puts his head down and sighs, “I know, but I can dream can't I, love. I hate what she is doing. She only found out about this when you broke up with her. She's lying Dee; I can feel it in my bones.”
Dee puts his head down by his ear and whispers, “I'll like to feel your bones as I slide my tongue up your body.” He wants his partner badly right now and they haven't even gotten through lunch.
Since he met Ryo, he has found himself wanting to make love to him at every available opportunity. He lucked out when the chief assigned Ryo to be his partner. The honey blonde overwhelms him whenever he sees him at the beginning of his day.
Loving Ryo is easy for him because he knows the blonde-haired man loves him in return. Mona trying to come between them is something he will not allow. When they go to the doctor tomorrow, they should be able to put all this behind them. There is no way he wants to marry her but in order to save the life of his child he will.
Ryo looks up in his face, “You are such a horn dog. This can wait until tonight can't it?” He wants the younger man as much as he wants him but this is not the time or the place.
“I could close the door and take you on the desk you know. We can have some private time to…”
Rose pushes the cracked door all the way open and smirks at the two of them. “Have some private time to do what detective? You wouldn't be trying to talk the new detective into one of your nefarious schemes now would you?”
The commissioner hates that Dee got to Ryo before he did. If there is a way he can break up the two of them, he will. Dee doesn't act like a man that is about to be married and if the rumors are to be believed him and his fiancée have called it quits.
Dee looks over at him with a sneer on his face, “What can I do for you Commissioner Rose? Did you actually want something or are you here to break my balls.”
“Dee! Sorry about that Sir, what can we do for you?” Ryo looks daggers at Dee and turns to his boss with a small smile.
“I need you to come with me Ryo. There are some things I need to discuss with you.” He turns to Dee, “You detective have to go with Marty and Ted to escort the prisoner to Rikers. Ryo can't go because it involves his son. I'm having him go to `one police plaza' with me.”
Both of them look at Rose and Dee is livid! “What the hell are you talking about? They don't need me to go with them! The boy is my son to you know!” He looks at Berkeley Rose with malice in his eyes. This is what he has been trying to do for the longest and that is getting Ryo alone and away from the office.
Ryo stands up quickly and stands in front of his partner. “What time are we leaving sir?”
“Ryo! What the fuck are you saying?” He grabs his arm and tries to pull him back but he jerks his arm from Dee. “If the Commissioner needs me to go with him I don't see the problem. You need to control yourself detective!” He looks in Dee's eyes, pleading with him to calm down before everyone knows what is going on with the two of them.
Rose pushes his glasses back on his nose and smiles at Ryo, “I'm happy to see at least one of you can follow orders. “Meet me in my office in ten minutes Ryo. We'll be leaving shortly, and detective they are ready to leave so you should go to the back of the station now.” He turns on his heels and walks out of the office, pulling the door up behind him.
Dee glares at his back and turns to Ryo. “What gives with that shit? You want to be alone with that rat-bastard! You know he is going to try something with you don't you? How can you be so stupid, Ryo?!”
Ryo sighs and pulls Dee by his tie, “What did you call me? Stupid! Which one of us is acting as if he were a child that has his toy taken away?” He jerks on his tie as Dee contorts his face. “Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Let me go dude!” Ryo releases him and walks over for his suit jacket.
“I can take care of myself, Dee. I've been in this world longer than you have and I'm still here. Quit acting as if I'm some helpless woman. It's embarrassing Dee. Besides, you know what will happen if they found out about us. Is that what you want to happen?” Ryo slides his jacket over his shoulders and adjusts his tie. Dee walks over and pushes his hands out of the way. He fixes his tie and smiles down at him.
“As usual you're right. Just be careful of him okay? I don't trust him alone with you. I know he wants you Ryo…ah shit, just be careful.”
Ryo strokes his arm and smiles as he leaves out on his way to the lion's den.
