To the readers of the Sugar Series: There is something that I have termed "Acid" as far as comments go on the review board. Thankfully Dawn has soothed the temperamental french man before I even knew of this acid comment and could try to butter him up with cookies and kisses. As far as Boy George is concerned, I have a whole lot to say. if he is a fan of this series himself, well, I hope you are flattered because I only put things I love into my work and my plotlines. The thing is, I am a child of the 80's and I grew up loving his music, loving his image, loving his carefree attitude. I am a mega fan of Boy George and have his albums and still listen to them, in fact my younger brother, is now a fan of Boy George simply because I play the music sometimes when I write. As far as the French one, I think that as a beautiful, make-up user himself he shares a kinship with Boy George that is uncanny. That said, I do not own Boy George or his image or any of his music. I have portrayed him in the younger years simply for my own purposes, (The French One agrees that this is much more fun). If we did own him and could turn back the hands of time, I am sure that The French one (he says) would have gobbled him up a long time ago. Or at least chained him to a bed, sometimes there is a problem when he is upset he refuses to speak English, I speak French, but darn it I am not that fluent and can not understand when he goes too fast. I will try to calm him down and get some Lemon into the Next chapter. Now come the cookies and kisses part. Wish me luck. Without further ado... the next chapter.

Powdered Sugre 25

Glorious

It was warm, and heavy, soft and yet the muscles he could feel were firm. Boy G opened his eyes to see what was laying on his stomach. He was met with two large green eyes with yellow centers. "Ah..." He gasped as the tufted ears perked. Knowing the instant he was awake Slyphe rolled onto her back and purred a loud rumble. "H...help," Boy G called out hoping that the family was all done with their swimming and could rescue. As he wiggled trying to dislodge his guest he wondered how it had gotten in. He had shut the door, he knew that the door did not have a lock, but unless it had opposable thumbs, there was no way it could open the door. Maybe the boy, Rain had let it in. "Oh, please get up."

-'You need me.'- Slyphe meowed and licked his hand when he pressed it against her muzzle as if to push her away.

Boy G jumped with relief when there was a knock at his door. "Sorry to bother you," Rain said poking his head in. "But have you seen... Slyphe!" Rain called with exasperation. "Get off him," Rain walked in his wet hair dripping onto the thickly carpeted floor. His pants, though rolled at the cuffs, bagged and only his toes peeked out underneath the hems. A tank top and t-shirt fell to his knees as he patted his legs calling the cat with air kisses. "Come here Slyphe, get off of him," Rain sent an apologetic look at Boy G and gasped as he saw his face without the heavy make-up. "Oh, that's why."

"What?" Boy G said turning away from Rain.

"She won't leave if someone is hurt." Rain explained coming over to tug at the cat's collar. "She is comforting you. You have to be calm and she will go. If you are upset she will stay."

"But she is what is upsetting me," Boy G said staring wide eyed at the cat that was almost as large as he was. "Get it off me."

"Just calm down, she won't hurt you," Ryo said when he poked his head into the room to see what was keeping Rain. "Breath slow and your heart rate will go down. When she feels that you are calm, Slyphe will go." Boy G took several deep breaths.

-' I came in here to pounce him because he called me fat,'- Slyphe said over her shoulder as she purred and rubbed her face against Boy G's chest. -'But look at him, small, same as my boy and something hurt him. Hit hard.-

"Someone," Rain corrected without thinking. "And I know, but he's okay now," Rain shifted to Cheyenne when he realized that Boy G was giving him an odd look. -'No,'- Slyphe shook her furry head. -'Some thing.'-

"Its beautiful," Boy G said staring at Rain who was still puzzling over Slyphe's last words. "What language is that?"

"Cheyenne," Rain answered smiling when Boy G relaxed and Slyphe jumped into him. Stumbling from her weight. Rain shifted until he could regain his footing and went around behind the cat. Slyphe held still while Rain placed his arms under her front paws and stood with her in his arms.

"He carries that thing?" Boy G asked trying to smile through his embarrassment at Ryo seeing his face and looking at him with compassion.

-'I heard that.'- Slyphe grumbled as Rain huffed with her out of the room.

"They're best friends," Ryo moved to sit on the bed. "You slept through lunch, understandable, jet lag is terrible." Ryo gave a soft laugh. I can bring you something up if you like, I will be making dinner in a bit." Boy G declined the late repast and breathed deeply. He sighed when Ryo got up and went for the door, maybe he would not say anything. Boy G wondered still sitting on the bed clutching the blanket. "I also have some chilled witch hazel, with my boys bruises are common. I'll bring it up." Boy G gasped and looked up in time to see the door shutting softly behind the strangely beautiful man and his quiet footsteps down the hall. Boy G got out of bed and padded barefoot to the mirror to see the dark bruise on his eye and cheek.

"I didn't start the make-up just to hide this," Boy G said when he could see Ryo behind him in the mirror. The door had opened so silently that it was the only way he knew Ryo had returned.

"I know, I've seen some of your videos. You have a great voice, no wonder the Arcadian's want to work with you." Ryo folded the clean towel and wet it with the clear solution in his hand. "This is supreme stuff, our family doctor makes it for us, cause my boys are trained by his son. I work out with him too sometimes. Count D is a hard task master, but he teaches us very well. He leaves bruises sometimes. Do you practice martial arts? Or play sports? Bikky brings in his own brand of punishment often enough."

"I do not do...ouch," Boy G winced when Ryo placed the towel to his face while standing behind him marveling at their height difference. The only men he could claim height over were the D family. He was equal with JJ and everyone else topped him."Martial arts or sports."

"I know, you have a decided lack of muscle," Ryo chuckled then moved around until he was facing Boy G. "Your lover?"

"I do not belong to anyone," Boy G stated with a sassy smirk despite the painful discoloration. "In case you are interested, I'll do you both, together or separate. Your choice."

"No thank you," Ryo said not in the least offended by the man in front of him. "I do belong to Dee," Ryo left the chilled bottle of witch hazel with Boy G as he went to the door. "And he belongs to me." Ryo went downstairs to the family room to see Bikky and Rain playing video games while Lyo colored in his books. Dee sat on the sofa with his lap top.

"Baby, we need to talk," Dee said setting his machine aside.

"I know," Ryo inclined his head to the kitchen and Dee made haste to join him.

"I was uh..." Dee said as Ryo put a pot on the stove and fire leaped to life in greeting as he heated the water for his tea. "I was doing a little research on our house guest and he has a few proclivities that Daphnus and Nestoir sure forgot to mention. I will bet Brian is laughing his ass off all the way back to Pittsburgh. Not only is he bisexual, he's remarkably easy."

"Yeah, he propositioned me, you... us," Ryo said and went to his cabinet to select a tea.

"Rain said he got hit," Dee muttered folding his arms he leaned against the counter and looked at Ryo. "Jealous lover maybe?"

"He said he does not belong to anyone, but maybe someone wants him too." Ryo mused as he found his favorite mug with a picture that Bikky had painted on it of him and Dee kissing. The boys level of intricate detail never ceased to amaze him. It had been a wedding gift from Bikky and he treasured it.

-'Not someone, smells bad, not human,'- Slyphe said as she entered the kitchen and shifted to a human form. Her tawny ponytail hung over her shoulder and brushed her knees while her still visible tail swished against the clean floor.

"He's not Arcadian, what would attack him?" Dee asked the cat.

-'It ain't that unusual for a demon creature to fancy a human and take one as a lover, willing or not,'- Cujo said standing beside Slyphe his leather jacket shining in waning sunlight. Ryo fixed his tea and left it to steep while he took out the fresh rainbow trout that he was making for dinner and sighed at Cujo's words. -' Don't you start lecturing me on deportment and proper language, Count D already tried.'-

"And if you won't listen to him, who will you listen to?" Dee groused shocked to see the young man shrink back into a dog just as Slyphe returned to a lynx. He looked up to see Boy G standing in the kitchen holding the bottle of witch hazel his make-up in place once again. "Ryo was just making tea," Dee offered looking at the many colored beads that hung from the braids interwoven through Boy G's long hair.

"Do you have something soothing?" Boy G asked sitting in the chair at the table that Dee offered him. He smiled when he saw that Dee was quick to move away. Ryo must have said something about his offer. "I don't bite... hard," Boy G laughed. He saw the frown on Dee's face as he accepted his tea from Ryo and offered a wink to the dark eyed beauty. Before they could say anymore Bikky came into the kitchen holding Dee's cell.

"Its Leon, trouble," Bikky tossed the small device to Dee.

"Yeah, what's going on?" Dee said and Boy G was amazed at the tone of his voice and Ryo sitting his tea aside to come next to him. "Gotcha," Dee hung and turned pressing his lips to Ryo's. "You stay with the boys and finish dinner, I'm going in."

"Dee," Ryo said hooking his thumbs through Dee's belt loops not letting him slip away..

"Agents Miaka and JJ are pinned down, they called for back-up. Jill and Leon are on the way, we may have pull rank on the criminals to get them out."

"Come back home," Ryo said kissing Dee before he let him go.

"I want that chocolate pudding pie for dessert with fresh made whipped cream." Dee said as he bounded upstairs to retrieve his weapons.

"You sound like Count D," Bikky said watching as Ryo went to work on their meal. He saw the slight tremble in Ryo's hands and went to place a hand on his back. "He'll come home, you know he will."

"Yeah, I just don't like anyone but me watching his back," Ryo said grinding the cilantro and reaching for the lemon juice.

"Can I borrow this?" Dee entered the kitchen with a shiny black gun. Ryo nodded with a smile on his face as Dee kissed him again and dashed out the back door. He paused to listen as the small sports car peeled out of the garage and sped off down the road.

"I should have gone with him," Ryo said after he had been in the kitchen with Boy G for a while and had done nothing in preparation for the dinner.

"You are fretting, I heard that you are both among the best," Boy G got to his feet sipping the tea. "Why don't you have some of this," Boy G held his cup up to Ryo's lips and laughed when he turned his face away. "You are so cute," Boy G said turning away. He began to hum and bounce around the kitchen. "Time, won't give me time, and time makes lovers feel, like they got something real, and you and me you know we've got nothing but... time," Boy G continued his song as he went back to the table.

"I am going to tell you now, so that you will not waste your energy, neither myself nor Dee will sleep with you," Ryo went to the sink and rinsed the fish. "I hope you like trout."

"You can only speak for yourself, are you so sure of Dee?" Boy G grinned when Ryo frowned.

"He can smell, from down here, when I am upstairs aroused," Ryo said nothing more, he simply gave Boy G a long look with his eyes looking more slanted and catlike at the pupils. Dragon eyes, or so his grandmother had claimed.

"Yeah," Bikky said surprising them both with his silent approach. "I am surprised he is not already back here carrying him upstairs and ripping his clothes off." Bikky went to the fridge. "Rain is hungry again," was Bikky's explanation for the plate of left over pizza he placed in the microwave. "Since he is on hotstreak topping 50, I decided to humor him and bring him food."

"Should he eat so much while you are cooking dinner?" Boy G asked not understanding why Ryo and Bikky laughed.

"He could eat that with dinner and be fine." Bikky said when the micro wave beeped. Ryo smiled then turned on the small television in the kitchen. Quickly he turned up the volume on the news channel. He went back to selecting his vegetables and the rest of the accompanying dinner items.

"This is Macy, your eye on the street," Ryo smiled as he saw the reporter that had followed he and his family. He was glad that she did get the promotion. "I am on 54th and Prime watching as several detectives face off with a cartel from China, it has been said to the press. I will keep you posted as more news comes," Ryo stared in horror as Macy ducked behind a barricade when shots could be heard as sirens blared. Ryo's hands trembled and he dropped the fish staring at the screen. Boy G paused in his whimsical humming to look at Ryo where he stood frozen. "This is Macy vacating the area NOW!!" Ryo watched in horror as Macy was zoomed away.

"Ryo... GO!" Rain and Bikky came running into the kitchen. "We have an adult here. You are over 21 right?" Bikky asked Boy G who nodded staring at the tv. He winced when it seemed as if the screen was covered with a hail of bullets then went blank and the newscaster began another story. "We'll be okay, order a pizza or something, just go."

"I... won't get there in time," Ryo stammered taking off his apron.

"You suit up," Rain shoved him to the stairs. "I'll call your grandfather," Ryo nodded and dashed upstairs for his gear.

"His grandfather will drive him there faster, what's he have a jet?" Boy G tried to interject some humor to the distressed teens while Rain dialed the phone. Rain said nothing thinking that Laton, was the jet.

"Something like that," he said amazed at how fast Ryo came down the stairs wearing his vest and slipping his feet into his shoes. Boy G stared in horrified awe as Ryo tucked handguns and clips into hidden pockets on his pants, his shirt and behind his back, he then put a few in each pant leg, one at each ankle and another at each calf. Ryo went into a large bag pulling out a fully automatic rifle. Just as the last of the weapon was checked and loaded their back door opened and Laton stormed in.

"We have to go now, both Miaka and JJ are hit. The other's can't get through cause they have sentries on the roofs of the other buildings. But I can get you higher."

Ryo nodded and headed for door with a last admonishment for his boys to behave.

"I am so sorry, this is your first day here and..." Ryo tried saying as Boy G pushed him through the door.

"You did warn me that it was chaotic, now go before I kiss you," Boy G shut the door firmly behind him. "Alright, tall one, Pizza, small one Ice cream, tiny one, let's play." Boy G clapped his hands. "By the time you realize they have been gone, they will be back." Rain stood still his lips trembling as he thought of his parents in danger. Boy G's eyes widened and he grinned then began to sing while Bikky called the nearest pizza delivery place. "Desert loving in your eyes all the way" Rain paused with his hand on the freezer door and turned to look at Boy G as he began to sing. "if i listen to your lies would you say" Lyo pouted his lips trembling still and Boy G began to dance around the kitchen clapping his hands.
"i'm a man without conviction
i'm a man who doesn't know
how to sell a contradiction
you come and go
you come and go" Boy G patted Rain who shook his head and got the ice cream out of the freezer. Boy G saw a smile light on Lyo's face and he continued his song.
"karma karma karma karma
karma chameleon
you come and go
you come and go
loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream
red, gold and green
red, gold and green" Bikky laughed when the Pizza place he called commented on the party at their house. hearing the laugh Boy G smiled.

"didn't hear your wicked words everyday
and you used to be so sweet i heard you say
that my love was an addiction
when we cling our love is strong
when you go you're gone forever
you string along
you string along"

Boy G encouraged Rain to join him with the chorus this time and Rain gulped before his sweet voice joined Boy G. "karma karma karma karma
karma chameleon
you come and go
you come and go
loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream
red, gold and green
red, gold and green"

Bikky saw Lyo smile and Rain's eyes clear of tears and he clapped his hands to the beat playing along with the charismatic entertainer in their kitchen.

"karma karma karma karma
karma chameleon
you come and go
you come and go
loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream
red, gold and green
red, gold and green"

Count D was jolted awake when his father gasped loudly and sat up in bed clutching the sheets with a grip that drained all color from his hands. A sweet smell filled the air when his nails dug into his palms and the delicate skin bled. "ChiChi," Count D took his father into his arms. "Nani?" Count D asked when his father looked around the room wildly. He had felt like a child, but needed the assuring warmth of his father. After seeing the great Kami so close to death, his vibrancy had induced D to tears of joy. When Lord D had dozed Count D had curled up beside him resting in the wild scent of freshly fallen snow, that was oddly warm in its soothing familiarity. "ChiChi?"

"Jemi-Chan, JJ is hurt," Lord D sobbed vacating the bed. "I have to..." Lord D swayed on his feet.

"You are not well, come back to bed," Count D took his father's arm hoping to assist him back between the sheets.

"I'm am fine child," Lord D insisted amazed that it was so. "It took a moment for me to assimilate it myself, but I am fine."

"And with child," Count D said refusing to release his sire.

"This child's father needs me," Lord D placed a hand to his still flat tummy. "Let go of me," Count D gasped when he felt the heady strength of his father's will, leagues older than his own. He moved his tingling hand from his father's robe.

"You will stay," Lord D gasped and stared in horror at Sofu D. He was mid transformation and his condor wings, spread high ready for the rest of his body to catch up, fell to his sides the tips brushing the floor where the hems of his many robes glistened. "Have patience child," Sofu commanded. He touched his son's arm ending his transformation. "They are going to return him to you, and you can fix whatever they broke."

"Father, if you ever know that mother is injured and bleeding, and you could help her if you could only get to her, what would do?" Lord D wept when he could not break free of the hold his father had on his will.

"Something unbearably foolish," Sofu said then pulled Lord D into his arms when he began to weep. "They will bring him back to you," Sofu patted Lord D's back.

"Father, please," Lord D cried.

"Son, if you go, it would not be good," Sofu explained chaffing at his inability to explain more to his son. As Lord D could do no harm with his gifts, Sofu could not reveal the truth of his insights to anyone.

"Promise me," Lord D begged gripping his father's robe and spreading the blood that was on his hands. "Promise me that he will come home... alive and that I can keep him that way."

"You will be happy in the morning," was all that Sofu could say and still not break any of the rules that bound him. "Now sleep, for the benefit of us all," Sofu pressed his finger to Lord D's head and he fell limp into his father's waiting arms.

"Did you tell him the truth?" Count D asked a touch of his old mistrust for his grandfather in his voice. With a wave of his hand he summoned a black leather outfit. "It would not be the first time you have said something untrue when you thought it was in our best interest." Count D said nothing more he paused by his father's bed and passed a hand over the long hair then he left the room. "Leon is in danger as well, and you can't command me to stay put. I will bring them both back."

Sofu waited until Count D was gone before he shed a tear. "I know."

Crimson waves hovered above the clouds and Ryo held on to his grandfather the tough spines of his scales biting into his skin. "I can see them," Ryo called to Laton. Plums of heavy smoke billowed around them.

"Snap dragon, go down and protect your mate. Your children are waiting." Laton landed on the top of a building that towered over the surrounding buildings. He could see the men on the tops of the buildings, each of them shooting down into the valley below keeping the officers from getting to the inner circle where JJ and Miaka were. He could scent their blood in the air. He opened his mouth to taste the wind and smiled when he could not taste Dee's blood. Ryo pulled his rifle up and set up his stand. It was time to make it stay that way.

Laton stood to the side and watched as his grandson sighted, and fired. Sighted, and fired, the sound of men falling dead before they hit gratifying the enraged dragon in human guise beside him. He watched with glee as Ryo continued to clear a path for his friends to make it through.

Break

Leon swore as he tried to run through and jumped back when there was what seemed to be hundreds of bullets came his way. "We can't get through," he said into his cell phone to JJ. "There are too many of them." Leon looked around. "How the hell did they get someone on the Markum building?" He asked looking up at the newcomer that shot into the fray.

"No," Jill said with a thoughtful frown. "They are just shooting at random, that person is picking his shots, and hitting."

"Ryo," Leon looked over to see Dee beside him. "He's clearing a path, lets go." Dee palmed his gun and dashed forward. When three men stood to shoot at him they were felled with brutal precision. "Thats my baby," Dee grinned as he too shot at the men that were on the ground level with him.

"Can you see, JJ and Miaka?" Leon asked running beside him, then sighed with relief as they came upon the two injured detectives/special agents. "Hey guys," Leon said crashing beside them.

"You're late," JJ groused holding his leg that bled sluggishly around the t-shirt he had tied around it. "Her ears," JJ said moving Agent Miaka's hair in front of her ears. "Gotta hide them, she's passed out."

"You have both been bleeding out too long," Leon said turning to go back he gasped. "Damn," He swore shooting the mob of gun men that came running towards them. Just as Leon thought he would run out bullets before they ran out of assailants, he saw a blur in black leather kicking and punching. It was tiny in comparison to the brutish men that were felled by the little terror. "Baby... what are you...?" Before he could finish his question, JJ lost consciousness.

"No time," D called over his shoulder dodging the bullets that angry brute shot at him. Leon swore again and shot the man.

"Help them get out," Dee called turning his back to Leon, Count D and Jill. "I'll cover you."

"Who's going to cover you?" Jill said looking back at Dee.

"My Baby's got me," Dee winked at Jill and sent her on her way.

Up on the Markum building Ryo lowered his rifle and straitened his glasses. Adjusting his gloves he went to Laton. "I need to go down there." Laton nodded and reached into Ryo waist holster. He took a hand gun and fired at the men in the helicopter that came up to clear the top of the building. Ryo turned around incensed and the chopper burst into flames. "Oops," He said when it began to spine wildly in the air. He watched in horror as the chopper slammed into the building that Dee was standing near. "Dee!!" Ryo yelled running to the edge of the building. Laton grasped Ryo's arm as he would have tumbled off. Still standing on his feet, Laton hauled Ryo back to the roof. He held his grandson facing him so that he would not see a building falling on top of his lover.

Ryo fought against his grandfathers hold trying to turn around. "He's fine, I can not smell his blood." Laton said. "Scent child, see, you can not smell him." Ryo turned into the wind and sighed. There was no Dee, he could scent JJ and Miaka, but not Dee.

"Okay, take me down," Ryo grabbed his rifle and dashed to the door, he stood in amazement when it would not budge.

"This is the only building that is locked from the syndicate, that is why this roof was uncovered, come on," Laton grasped Ryo and ran for the edge and jumped off. Ryo gasped as he floated down in his grandfather's arms. They touched ground and he stared around at what looked like a war zone.

"Dee!" Ryo called staring around, though he could not smell blood, that did not mean that Dee was conscious. Ryo heard a groan and ran forward. He dived to the ground at the massive sound of gunfire from behind. He turned to see Laton shooting.

"Go, Snap Dragon, Go!" Laton urged Ryo on. "Find him!"

Break

Boy George sat on the couch winded, he had just finished singing when the pizza arrived. He looked down when he felt a small weight against him. "Yes," he smiled looking at Lyo.

"Da-Ryo... Da-Dee, come home now?" Lyo looked up at the pizza man and his eyes began to water when he saw that it was not his parents.

"Come on," Boy George got to his feet. "Let's go get some plates for that pizza." Boy G smiled brightly and dashed off to the kitchen while holding Lyo's little hand. Rain entered behind them.

"I'll show you where they are, we'll use the least expensive ones," Rain reached in the cabinet and pulled down the standard plates. Boy George looked at the heavy glass ware and blinked then gasped as he looked at the Television that was still on the news. He stared in horror at the war-zone-like scene that was displayed by the camera. Rain trembled the plates rattling as he sat them on the counter. Boy G was quick to pull the boy against him blocking his view of the screen. He startled at the loud gun blasts that rocketed from the speakers. Bikky entered and sat the pizzas on the table. With a shaking hand he reached over and turned off the screen.

"Hey Rain," Bikky said when Rain was still ensconced in Boy George's arms. "You know that fire that destroyed the pet shop. They came home from that... okay."

Rain nodded and stepped away from Boy G. "You smell good," Rain whispered pushing his hair back his green eyes overflowing as he looked at the now blank screen.

"Thanks, I'm fond of bathing," Boy George grinned and opened the first box. "Hungry?"

"You sound like Count D," Bikky laughed serving Lyo a small slice of pizza. "They own the pet shop, you'll meet them." Boy G nodded all the while hoping that these boys parents would be home soon.

Break

Ryo thought he could quite possible be going insane. He coughed at the thick smoke filled with black debris that clouded his lungs "Dee!!" Ryo coughed again sniffing the air with every turn. "Koibito where are you?!" Ryo heard a small wheeze.

"Ba...baby," Dee called he tried to move but was wedged in tight underneath several slabs of concrete. One piece was standing upright holding the bulk of the weight. It was the only reason Dee was alive, Ryo saw as he inspected the felled building.

"I'm going to get you, don't move," Ryo ran around he winced and ducked from several bullets that whizzed past him as he dashed to Dee's side.

"Not going anywhere... My leg," Dee managed around fits of coughing. When he settled the building began to slide from its bearings.

"Dee! No!" Ryo gasped grasped the concrete with his palms blazing with pure flames he shoved it aside with a strength that amazed himself.

"Now that's a dragon!" Laton called from where he held the gun covering his grandson as he rescued his spouse. Ryo looked at his grandfather then reached down to pull Dee into his arms. "If only he would do it in defense of himself." Laton grumbled then went back. "Lets go Snap Dragon," Laton called when he ran out of bullets. Ryo turned to his grandfather and threw a gun to him while taking out another one for himself. Dee winced standing on his injured leg and began to run from the wreckage. Laton continued to fire until they made it to the other officers.

"I have a little gift for them," Ryo said and turned to throw a hand grenade into the fray. "I don't think there will be anyone left to arrest," Ryo said huffing air in to his lungs.

"Well!" Ryo startled and turned to see the Chief of police stomping in his direction. "I just might arrest you!" The Chief came to a halt and glowered at Ryo. "You are not only off duty, but you accessed a building that is outside of our jurisdiction, unauthorized use of a flame thrower, getting a civilian involved," He paused and looked at Laton. "That is not a civilian!" He pointed at the dragon king. "That is king from another country, do you have any idea how it would look if he was injured or killed on American soil?!" The chief blustered. "You did not even call in to let me know that you were here. That is it, I have had it, you are done MaClean, Two weeks, no pay, Get out of here. And you," He looked at Dee. "Get that leg taken care of and get to the precinct to fill out the reports on this mess."

Dee put his badge into his pocket then shook his head at the chief. "See you in two weeks," He said turning his back. "Come on baby, let's go home."

To Be Continued

There are some things about the character of Boy George that I switched for artistic (Later to be revealed as emotional) purposes, Bear with me and it will all make sense in chapters to come. This will be one heck of a fun summer. Oh and the only profit I make from this is the fun Comments from my readers.

Shameless plug: BUY A COPY OF THE WHITE LION: Shameless plug

If you have Already purchased a copy of THE WHITE LION, Thank you so much, let me know what you think. If not... PLEASE support a starving artist/author. It is not easy to work a full time job and maintain a writing career. I am hoping to be able to cut down the full time job, but only if the writing career takes off. I could be so much more productive, both novels and free fiction, if I had oh, I don't know, maybe eight more free hours in my day. Thanks again...
