"Drop your weapon, or I'll shoot!" shouted the cop.

"Are you crazy? Once I do that, I'll have no chance of escaping. Besides, your partner here wouldn't be hostage if I didn't have a weapon with me. So step back, or this knife I'm holding may slip and cut his throat open." Aizen emphasized what he said by pressing the sharp edge of the knife to Detective Arabai's throat. Blood started to drip slowly down Arabai Renji's neck as the knife cut into his skin.

"Bang!" Aizen's arm registered the bullet hit by jolting and letting go of the knife. Seeing the opportunity, Renji gave him an arm jab to free himself. Aizen saw no way of out running the two was faced and made his decision quickly- to jump of the bridge into the water, swimming to safety with and injured arm or to risk more damage by fighting out with the cops and face a higher risk of getting caught. He jumped.

"Damn! He got away. Are you alright?" asked Ichigo. With a grunt from Renji as an answer, he guessed his long time partner and friend was going to be just fine.

"It's gonna be a bitch to report his escape to Captain Zaraki. And hell of a report to write up this fucked pursuit." Renji grumbled while being helped by Ichigo to sand up and walk.

"Yeah, but we can save those worries for later. For now, you better get that cut looked at. It hasn't stop bleeding." Replied Ichigo.

"Couldn't you shoot him before he cut me? That bastard's a highly renowned criminal. Shouldn't have bothered with the standard warning before shooting- it's useless."

-oOo-

After a verbal chew down from Captain Zaraki Kempachi, both Ichigo and Renji were chilling out at the usual bar they go to. The noise was really loud, not that they were complaining, but it was hard to have a decent conversation with that noise level.

"You really quitting? Just like that? It's a waste you know." Renji, despite the cool and uninterested tone, he actually really disappointed that Ichigo is going to stop being a cop.

"Yeah, it was decided that the Aizen case was the last case I'm handling. Though the bastard got away, the case is closed. He might have been the mastermind of the whole deal, but we have the real culprit in custody. If we had caught him, he wouldn't be charged, not with the evidence we have. Besides, I don't want Yuzu or Karin to worry all day and night about me and my job. Must as well, quit and do something else."

Renji knew it but he had to try one last time. How was he going to get used to having no one to bitch and complain with. Worse, no one to share the tongue lashing from Captain Zaraki and no one to push the paper work to. How was he going to write up his reports after closing each case without Ichigo? And the most torturous thing was the new cop was a female! He can't swear in front of girls. Can he? What was a skirt doing in the force anyway?

What's the use of thinking so much? Ikkaku's information never rang true anyway. So he shouldn't worry. Ichigo was a stubborn man- wouldn't change his mind no matter what Renji said. With this thought in mind, Renji prepared to enjoy the rest of the night with his friend and former partner on beer.
