The Cruise

Disclaimer: I own none of the characters that will make an apperance on the cruise.

Summary: Leon is sent to uncover a drug trafficking/money laundering scheme on cruise line. Unfortunately for him this line specializes in couples cruises particularly couples of the same sex. Jill helpfully lines up D. But can Leon get any work done with the other psychos assigned to his tables? Is he the only one on boardlaunching an investigation.

Chapter 1:

"D! What the hel—we're going to be gone for five damn days!" Leon ground the cigarette out under his heel.

D twitched slightly considering said heel was resting on his new Persian rug. "I packed light as you reqested."

Leon glared at the one beaten duffle bag he had brought along, and the then the full line of 2006 fall season Armani luggage line D had piled around a chest. A wooden fuckin' chest at that! " What are you going to do with all this shit? It's a two day cruise!"

D blinked. " Are you going to help me with my bags or not!"

Leon sighed, feeling the tirade slam against the inside of his teeth as he clenched his jaw. The chief had been very specific.

"Leon! Don't argue with me! It's well known in the criminal world that you and the Count are an item!"

"WHAT! Where the fuc-"

Jill cleared her throat, " I worked very hard at making it known."

"You did—Jill! I swear to GOD if I wasn't a cop I'd—"

Jill held up one finger and giggled, " Now Leon who else could I set up? The Count is raising your little brother, you visit him all hours of the day or night, you have picnic's with him—"

"THAT WAS ONE TIME! He makes good tea…"

"Not to mention you took him on vacation with you. Damn you do more with the count than most real couples do! Not to mention you two argue like you've been together for 50 years!" Jill finished.

Leon glowered. She had a point the curly haired shrew.

"Besides," the Chief looked smug, "It's a free cruise in a luxury suite enjoy yourself."

Leon growled and stomped out of the room on Jill and the Chief's giggling.

Leon gave a final sigh and heaved one of the larger bags onto his shoulder. D smiled and picked up his umbrella and fan to follow….

Like all animals Leon was trainable as well.
