If I go between Jap and English names I'm sorry. I'm used to Using: Rei, Mao, and a few English names but sometimes I switch by accident. XX

Chapter one:

What do you mean work together?!?!?

Ray's eyebrows furrowed as he, along with all four other teams;The Majestics,The All Starz,The D-Boyz, and The White Tigers, listened to the solemn report Mr.Dickenson was giving in the Conference Room.

"Mr. McKinley was a very big asset to the BBA. He was one of our top officials. His murder confuses me. I believe you met him, Raymond? Can you think of anyone he really talked about, if he was angry or someone else was?"

All eyes turned to him, feeling at least 3 times smaller he closed his own eyes and nodded. "Yes. I met him back when I first came to Japan. Right after you and I made that arangement. He was a sweet old man. I don't think he had any enemies. He was always talking about how excited he was that he was going to be a grandfather soon."

He had to take a deep breathe before he could continue, though his voice and expression showed no sign of it; he was angry. " Said how he was always so sure you were going to have it with him one day for being late or something.

"It always amazed me how he always worried over the little things but took the big ones without even blinking." His eyes opened and he scanned the room before his gaze fell on Mr. Dickenson's once more.

Mr. Dickenson nodded. "Yes, that's what I remembered as well. Hmm..."

Suddenly Tala spoke up, asking the question they all wanted to know. "That's all very interesting I assure you. But why did you call us here? "

Several nods and approving 'Hn's echo'd him.

Mr. Dickenson just smiled, not answering the question, but the twinkle in the old man's eyes told Ray what he was planning.

"Because," He paused, anger and shock still not showing in tone or appearance, but now showing in his choice of words as everyone stopped and looked at him once more. "He wants us to help out. Isn't that right, Stanley?"

Mr. Dickenson gave him a worried, yet knowing look and nodded. " Right again Raymond."

Kevin's eyebrows furrowed as his confused voice rung out. "But why us? Why not the detectives?"

"Haven't you been listening Kevin?" Mariah spoke up, her eyes were closed and she was leaning against Lee slightly. "Every cop that even attempts the case dies within days. Obviously Mr. Dickenson doesn't want any more people dying."

"Oh so he sends us? Gee.. thanks old man." Kevin replied dryly, getting a whack over the head from Lee, Mariah, and Gary.

"That was rude Kevin!"

"But quite right." Everyone froze and looked to Ray who was staring at no one but Mr. Dickenson.

"S..Mr. Dickenson wants us to do it because we will be harder to get to. And we all have something to apply that will help us solve the case."

Ray leaned away from the wall and walked to the table.

"Think about it. White Tigers and Demolition Boyz both have training in tracking and martial arts. We know how to take care of ourselves and others, and the Majestics and All Starz have funds and resources. "

Ray smiled, "Quite a stroke of Brilliance actually. No one would expect us to do it. Especially to be working together; what with our... colorful pasts with each other."

Mr. Dickenson smiled and nodded. "Exactly Raymond."

They all seemed quite upset with having to work together, just like it was said, but afterall Mr. Dickenson had done a lot for them all. Their final restraint was broken as a new voice spoke.

"So... Stanley, I assume you have some clues or something left behind?"

The old man's eyes twinkled once again. "You know me too well young Kai."

That's all for now. The future chapters will be longer, this is just to see how you take to it.

So Review so I can update!
