As Kevin stepped out of the elevator he knew where to go, he was being transferred to Homicide and he had previously helped this department out seven months ago from Narcotics when the two departments suspect was the same person. He went to Captain Montgomery's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in!... Ahh Detective Ryan"

Kevin nodded, Montgomery gave him the run down, the team he was being assigned to were at a crime scene. Kevin waited in the office with Montgomery, this slightly unnerved him, but his new Captain seemed to sense this and totally shocked Kevin when he said "so Captain Parker was your training officer?" Kevin was stunned, he knew Parker had made Captain but he didn't know Parker and Montgomery knew each other. Montgomery carried on "see we worked traffic together until I moved up to Detective, and when I told him you were being transferred to Homicide he said 'give him my best and Roy you have just gained one of the best cops I have ever seen, he has a great instinct and what I've heard about him in Narcotics he will push the suspects until they either give him the information he knows their holding back or confess' and Ryan I believe every word Parker has said after watching you on the case seven months back" Kevin could only nod, he hadn't known Parker had kept tabs on him. He was brought out of his daze when he saw Montgomery motion for someone to come to the office "your new partner has just arrived" this was said to both Kevin and the person entering the office. "Detective, this is your new partner who has come from Narcotics, Detective Kev-"

"Kevin!"

"Javier!"

The two friends were staring at each other; Montgomery was looking between the two men, confused. "You know each other?"

"Yes sir, we've been best friends since we were ten" replied Javier, Montgomery nodded, he was glad because it was always awkward if two cops never got along as partners, so having these two as best friends before they became cops took a load of his mind. "Well Esposito take Ryan and get him started on the case"

Javier looked at Kevin and as they left the office said "I can't believe you didn't tell me you were transferring"

"I didn't get chance we were getting ready for a big bust I was told last Monday, but I only went home for a shower and change of clothes all of last week, I slept in the break room"

Javier nodded, Montgomery told him he was getting one of the best cops from Narcotics to be his new partner and when he just found out that it was Kevin he swelled with pride for his best friend. He introduced Kevin to Beckett, but apparently they had already met, he had helped out with one of her cases seven months ago, Javier had only come to Homicide five months ago. He didn't tell Kevin that he wanted to transfer from the 54th and he certainly didn't tell him about Ike, as that was still a sore topic. He was happy his new partner was Kevin. When they told their parents, their mothers decided to throw a party for them, it was held at Kevin's mom's house. Fiona and Sophie smiled at each other, they were happy that their prayers were answered that their boys (both had seemed to gain an extra son when Javier and Kevin became friends) were able to see more of each other.

A/N sorry for another short chapter but I have decided to write Ryan's and Esposito's POV for part of the episodes: Den of Thieves, 3XK, Knockdown, Knockout and Kick the Ballistics. So keep a look out!
