Defiance

Summary

Everyone always writes about Leon chasing after D once he leaves, but what if it was the other way around? What if D decided that Leon and Chris were going to come with him, and they didn't have a choice in the matter?

It was raining.

Leon sighed and lit a cigarette. He'd cut down recently, but it'd been so stressful today that he needed one badly.

"Heard you're the one on the Matterson Estate case," called a voice.

Leon looked up. Detective Price, one of the forensics team, was standing in front of him, a cigarette dangling from his own mouth.

"Yeah," said Leon. "What about it?"
"I got some of the results back, need to go through 'em with you once you got a moment." The other detective responded. "Kinda weird results. Your kind of territory, if you don't mind me sayin'."

Leon nodded.
"I gotta eat first, then I'll find you. This is my first break all day." He added apologetically.

Price shrugged.
"You do what you gotta. I got lumped with the double shift, so believe me, unless something worse than a multiple homicide happens, I'll be around. Later, Orcot." With that, he gave a small wave and left, stubbing out his dying cigarette stub before entering the precinct once more.

Leon sighed. He could have gone back in and spoken with the other detective; who knew, maybe this was the break they'd been searching for. But he needed to take some time first, because Price reminded him way too much of D.

The two weren't dead ringers or anything like that, but Price had a Japanese mother, and his eyes were a freaky shade of blue-grey that shone purple in some lights. His soft spoken manner and understated intelligence were two other big reminders. Also, his cutting sarcasm when irritated.

D...

Leon frowned and shook his head. That way laid dangerous thoughts. Depressing ones. Yes, D's sudden departure had been a nasty shock, and if he was honest, had hurt a little. In spite of the way the two acted around one another, he'd thought they were friends.

He'd thought he'd at least be considered worthy of a goodbye.

He shook his head again. Man up, Orcot! He thought angrily. He'd gotten everything together after the shock of D leaving and Chris being taken away by his so called family... He frowned. That was another area he had no desire to go into. The custody battle for his brother had NOT been pretty, and he was now pretty much ostracised from the remains of his family.

Just me and Chris, against the world.

Ok, this is just me testing the water in another category, seeing as all my stuff so far has been Yugioh GX. Tell me what you think, if you please!
