Part1
"That's terrible, how could you have ever persuaded me into watching that movie with you!" Ryo looked rather shocked onto the TV monitor. "Are you afraid?", Dee grinned. "I would love to take you in my arms if you are." "No, thanks it isn't that bad." He didn't want to look like a coward after all.

A scream could be heard coming from he TV. "But why did it have to be a vampire movie? Those creatures are horrible!" Dee laughed. "Ryo, tomorrow is Halloween! And people watch these kind of movies on Halloween. It's rather funny after all, isn't it? Besides, these creatures don't even exist. Or are you going to tell me otherwise?" "No, of course not!" Ryo shook his head indignantly. Again a screaming voice could be heard and the pointed canine teeth of a vampire came onto view. Ryo winced, whereupon Dee slid nearer to him and put an arm around his shoulders, "Better?" He smiled. Ryo gave him a glare, but however didn't say anything and leaned tiredly against him at last. Perhaps horror movies weren't that bad after all...

"Dee-sempai!" Of course, the first person, who Dee saw from the office in the morning, was JJ who jumped upon him and almost knocked him down. "Today is Halloween and I'm so terribly afraid, please take me in your arms!" Dee shook him off as fast as he could and hid behind Ryo. "Definitely not!"

A short time afterwards they were called by Berkley. Some others, like Drake, were already assembled there. In Berkley's office stood, like in most of the others, an excavated pumpkin with a rather ugly grimace. Ryo looked at it shuddering. "What on earth do you all like about Halloween?" Berkley smiled at him, what caused Ryo to go a few steps to the left, until Dee stood half in front of him. The way, Berkley looked at him, made him feel rather uncomfortable. .

"Well, Ryo, unfortunately I have to bother you a little while longer with Halloween. A group of extortionists, who only appear every year at Halloween have appeared anew. They disguise themselves with Halloween masks, so they are able to vanish quickly in the crowd without astonishing anyone. The only thing, we can say about them is, that they wear extremely ugly masks and long capes. Furthermore they try every year to blackmail the same company, which produces Halloween masks.

We were informed by them only a few hours ago. This time they threaten to shoot the company's boss, if they either don't stop producing the masks or deliver a high amount of money. To stop the producing is out of the question, of course, it would be the company's ruin. Therefore they decided to deliver the money. The place of the delivery will be a Halloween party in the middle of the town. We hope that we can finally arrest them this year. For that I need you, Ryo and JJ, as sharpshooters. The rest of you will take the place by storm. Okay, that's the plan. " Dee sighed. That could last some time... actually he had had something other in mind on Halloween....He looked at Ryo, who was paying, in opposition to him, full attention.

"What do you think of it?" Dee looked at Ryo, who sat on the sofa and drank his tea. For the entire day he had appeared to be in thought. "I don't know.somehow these peoples reasons are beyond me. Okay, they want money, but why do they want the company to stop the production of the masks? That doesn't make sense, does it?" Dee nodded. "Right, that's strange, but well, you know how those criminals are... . Sometimes there aren't any proper reasons. Don't worry too much about that. This evening we will arrest them and then we will find out their reasons for sure.

By the way, how do you like my costume? You and JJ don't need to disguise, since you have to stay hidden, but we . " He raised a long black cloak and a vampire's mask. The mask was manufactured surprisingly well. The face was coloured totally white, the eyes were surrounded black and long teeth could be seen in the corner of the mouth. The features however were ugly distorted.
"Shall I put it on now?" "No thanks, I think I can do without that." Ryo said, adverting his head. "Where did you get that?" "It was placed at our disposal by the blackmailed company. The other ones didn't want any, because they had their own masks at home. But I don't have any and I didn't want to buy a new mask. " Ryo took his eyes off the mask. Dee smirked and held it close in front of Ryo's face. "Now, are you afraid?" Ryo glared at him very angrily. "You are behaving like a child!" Dee let go off the mask and sat down next to Ryo. "Oh, we can change that easily." He bowed forward in attempt to kiss Ryo. Who, however, was still angry and turned his head away. "Oh, look at the time! Come on, we have to go!" Dee cracked his head against the back of the sofa. "And don't forget your Halloween mask!" "You are cruel..." Dee rubbed his head and gathered his things.

A little later, however, he had already forgotten about the incident and questioned Ryo about Berkley's plan. He indeed hadn't listen this morning.

In the evening actually everything went like it was planned.well.almost everything that is. . Ryo and JJ were hide in that matter, that they had a good view and could shoot should it be necessary. Berkley and the other cops had disguised themselves with Halloween costumes and had mixed with the crowd, but of course they still stayed near the place of the delivery. Ryo could hardly recognize any of them, the costumes appeared all too similar. He was posed in a dark side-entrance and searched all over the crowd for a sign of the extortionists and Dee. However he just couldn't spot his vampire mask. He would have been very relieved to see Dee. Somehow he felt in this narrow dark side entrance really uncomfortable. However, a short time afterwards he saw Berkley, who wore an extremely absurd costume with small devil horns.

Suddenly it became dark. A group of demons in costumes, which were obviously coloured with luminous paint, entered an isolated circle, where some of the company's delegates, aside from the company's boss, already waited with the money for the delivery. Ryo saw dark Shadows whisking over the walls. He winced, but immediately concentrated again on the scene, which took place in front of him. He wasn't allowed to make a mistake this very moment. The demon who was obviously the group's leader riffled a gun, however, before he could aim on anybody, his hand was hit by two shots. Ryo and JJ had reacted at the same moment.

Henceforth everything went very fast. The policemen raced, still in their costumes, with their weapons to the blackmailers, while those still watched their leader in shock. They couldn't explain for themselves from where the shots had come. Soon they were arrested and lead off. In the meanwhile Ryo only stared at the scene. From his hiding place, where he had been able to watch everything quietly, he had noticed something, which the others just couldn't have seen. For it had happened too fast.

After JJ and he had shot the Blackmailer's Boss in the hand, the criminal had let go off his gun, but his hand hadn't began to bleed at all. And when the other police men took the place by storm and arrested the blackmailers, he had suddenly simply vanished as if he was absorbed into the ground. But.Ryo hadn't seen him run away. Puzzled Ryo shook his head and went to the others, hoping, that he could tell Dee about his confusion. He was sure that Dee would believe him.

In the meantime the other policemen had took off their masks and lead off the blackmailers. Berkley, Drake and some others stood still near the place of delivery and talked to each other. when JJ and Ryo came to them. Ryo looked around searchingly. "Where is Dee?" He looked at Berkley questionary . "Yes, exactly, where did you hide Dee?" JJ tugged at Ryo's arm. However, Ryo was too worried to notice that.

Berkley pondered. "I have to admit, that I haven't seen him since the beginning of the mission. Did he drive with the captives?" He turned to Drake. "No, I don't think so." Drake shook his head. Ryo looked at them horrified. "But.but.he just has to be somewhere." Berkley tried to calm him down. "Ryo, Dee is a grown up person. He really can look after himself. We have arrested the blackmailers, so nothing could have happened to him. He probably already went home, like some of others." Ryo shook his head. Dee would have waited for him, he simply knew that. Furthermore there was this strange blackmailers' boss...

At last he told JJ of what he noticed. He simply had to have seen something, too! Berkley listened frowning. When he finished JJ shook his head. "Ryo, you are seeing things. Only because it's Halloween today! Under their masks these demons were just normal people! We simply didn't shoot his hand, but only his gun. And if he had really vanished, I would have seen that, too. I'm also worried about Dee, of course, but I'm not getting insane at once!" "Yes, but." Ryo looked at him desperately. He had really seen that!

Berkley laid a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down. Apparently, this was a little bit too much for you today, first this mission and now the sorrow about the disappearance of Dee. I'll drive you home and I'm sure, Dee is awaiting you there. Obviously he spends apart far more time at your home than at his..." The last he said with very little excitement. Ryo nodded at last and exceptionally hoped that Berkley was right.

The motor ride was very quiet, apart from the short disputes, when Ryo directed Berkley to better watch the street instead of him. When Dee wasn't there he even felt more uncomfortable in Berkley's presence.

Arriving at home Ryo thanked Berkley for driving him, kept off Berkley's suggestion to accompany him to his front door and went upstairs. After he had opened the door, he found out, that Bikky laid in his bed sleeping deeply, however Dee was still missing. He called him at home, but nobody answered. He sat down onto his bed, but he couldn't possibly sleep. Just where could Dee be? He was armed and the blackmailers were arrested after all. They would have noticed a sudden attack or something like that. Dee would have made too much noise, that some of the policemen wouldn't have observed it. Indeed it was possible, that Dee was still angry with him, because of yesterday, but that wasn't just Dee's way. There simply wasn't an explanation.

He went to the window and looked outside. Somehow it seemed to him as if the whole world was full of whisking shadows. He sighed. Now the others had also infected him totally with their tattle about Halloween... He badly hoped that nothing had happened to Dee... At last he fell asleep totally exhausted next to the window.

---

"Ryo! Hey, Ryo! Wake up! Why are you sleeping next to the window?" Bikky's voice got through the tangle of nightmares which had surrounded him. "Bikky?" He opened his eyes. Suddenly he was wide awake. "Have you heard anything from Dee?" "From the pervert? No, why?" Ryo cast his eyes down. "He has vanished since yesterday evening." "What?" Now Bikky was surprised nevertheless "Well, I'm sure he only drove the wrong way, when he went home...", he tried to calm Ryo down. Ryo looked at him doubtingly. Bikky tried to grin. "Well, it could have been, couldn't it?"

---

The day at the police-station was quiet. Berkley had detached JJ and Drake to look for Dee, however they had still no idea of where he could be. Ryo didn't remember anything, which he had done during that day. And when he went home that evening, he didn't even notice, that several of his colleagues looked at him concerned.

---

Bikky and Carol tried the whole evening everything to cheer him up, but nothing worked. At least Carol had to go home and Ryo sent Bikky to bed, where he actually went without complaining for once that he really was too old to be sent to bed.

Ryo decided to go to bed too, but he just couldn't shut his eyes. At last the clock pronounced that it was 12 o'clock. In that exact moment the door bell rang. Ryo hurried to the door, on the one hand afraid, who could be there at this time, on the other hand hopefully, that it could be Dee.

He opened the door. It was Dee. "Dee! Thank god, you are home again!" He flew around Dee's neck, but wondered why the embrace wasn't returned. "Dee?" He moved the dark-haired cop a little bit away from him and was terrified. Dee was terribly pale and had dark rings under his eyes. But it were his eyes that frightened Ryo the most. The usually smaragd-green eyes were much darker and beamed something strange, something that Ryo couldn't attach to at the first attempt. "What happened?" Ryo looked at him questionably . "Switch off the light, it's too bright.", was the only thing, Dee replied.
