A/N: I don't know why but I get all my good ideas while I'm in the shower. I forgot the point of this, but I got it down mostly… just random bits of my random mind…


Usually it's the same way with every case.

There's a bad guy,

or a bad group of guys

terrorists,

rapists,

serial killers,

snipers,

bio-weapon experts,

robbers.

Most are armed with weapons.

Most have a team.

Some just have partners.

Like me…

I have a partner.

Charlie is my partner

and our job is to

take down these people

in order to keep the peace

among civilians.

But isn't Charlie a

civilian?

He doesn't have a badge.

He doesn't have a

bullet proof vest.

I do…

He doesn't…

So why do I let

him help?

Why do I

drag him

into all these

messy cases?

I know it hurts him to think about

the evils

outside

on the streets

but I don't really know him.

I don't really know

what he thinks.

I don't really know

how he feels.

Unless I look…

He could just being wearing a façade

to fool me…

to trick me like

all the villains.

Like all the bad guys,

he could be wearing a mask

that I just cant

pull away.

Maybe he isn't as

innocent as

I thought.

He has done work for

higher offices than I have

and maybe ever will.

He knows more than I do

and always will.

He cares more than I can…

If I don't

open my eyes

I know

that I seem careless at times.

He cares

for everyone…

Sometimes I think

even for the

bad guys.

Every case

ends the same.

The bad guys' plan

is foiled

by

us,

the partners in crime

or

against crime

I guess…

Brothers against crime…

Sounds nice,

until someone,

other than me

gets

hurt…


A/N: See… RANDOM! I wouldn't mind reviews though… I don't expect many (I know this isn't my best work…) so yea… thanks for the reading…
