Dee didn't know how much longer he could hold out. Even with the window open that barely stopped the gas from seeping into the small apartment. His vision was beginning to blur.

"Look Luke." He said. "I know how ya feel. I mean hey I get screwed over by hot chicks all the time. But I let it be water under the bridge man. I mean if they don't wanna be with me, then they are a waste of my time."

Luke snarled as he saw Dee approaching the window trying to open it to get some air.

"DON'T OPEN THAT WINDOW OR I WILL BLAST HER!!!" He yelled. "You don't know anything cop." He said with a cough as he held a woozy Hannah. "I am in love with Hannah and she left me!"

"Dude I know that. I have been dumped more times then I can imagine." Dee reassured as he tried covering his mouth and nose with his arm. "But I still find better. There always is." His thoughts were on Ryo now.

Luke began sniveling.

"What do you think those other chicks were for huh!?" He yelled. "Those chicks I saw on the subway all the time…the ones from those bars! I tried to let them be Hannah's replacement! But all they did was refuse me!"

He turned to Hannah.

"They refused me just like these two did. If I am so damn worthless to women, then what the hell is the point of living? Now all I want is to have one more moment with Hannah and then die in peace with her by my side! Then we can be happy together in Heaven!"

Hannah went limp in Luke's hands as the gas had finally taken over, Dee wasn't too far behind either.

"Come on man, don't do this. Suicide and murder is the wuss way out. Just come with me and we'll go and see if we can work something out! Dee said as he began to sway.

"NO!" Luke yelled. Now he was crying. "I don't wanna end up in the pen. Just let me die here with the woman I love! That's all I want! You can take Mary out of here I don't want her, I want Hannah!"

Mary was unresponsive as she had passed out minutes before Hannah.

Dee knew he had no choice. He peered over his shoulder seeing the other apartment and the vague figures of Ryo and JJ through the blur; he knew there was no other choice. But at the same time he had to get Hannah away from Luke because once Ryo or JJ shot, one wrong move from Luke and it could be curtains for Hannah.

"Damn, Luke you sure you don't want me to open the window?" Dee said. "I mean hell, I can't stop you from getting it on with Hannah. But hey, look at her. She's already unconscious. I mean that can't be good for your fella. Call me crazy, but I like my lovers awake when I go at it. And not to be an ass, but you look close to losing it yourself. I have gotten many a bitch slap when I have fallen asleep during naughty time."

Luke stared at him with glazed eyes and then down at Hannah.

"I…I guess." He said looking down at Hannah and stroking her face. "I want my face to be the last thing she sees." He laid her down gently while straddling her hips. Dee knew this was it.

"Okay pig…open the window…but just a crack." He said to the woozy Dee. "And I am watching you."

Dee approached the window and silently prayed Ryo was watching him. He undid the lock and lifted it up and moved to side and slid down the wall finally affected.

"RYO! SENPAI MOVE!!" JJ yelled.

"Don't have to tell me twice JJ!" Ryo yelled as he got a good shot of Luke and pulled the trigger. The bullet flew straight into the window breaking the glass and right square into Luke's chest!

"GOT HIM!" JJ yelled as he radioed the cops down on the ground. Within minutes Smith, Rose and the swat team charged into the apartment and were met with a face full of gas. Rose saw the open oven and immediately turned it off as the swat team investigated the apartment.

"SIR IN HERE!" One of the cops yelled. Rose ran in and was met with the dead body of Luke sprawled on top of his unconscious daughter, his former wife limp and tied up in a chair with a gag in her mouth and Detective Laytner on the ground beside the wall.

"Get the paramedics in here!" Rose yelled as he checked Dee's pulse then froze when he heard Ryo's voice.

"DEE YOU HERE! WHERE ARE YOU!?" He yelled. Before Rose could stop Ryo from coming in, it was too late. Ryo ran in, still in his sniper gear and was met with the sight of his lover lying on his back unconscious.

"DEE!" He yelled as he ran over to his fallen lover. "Oh my God Dee! You okay!? Speak to me!"

"The medics are on their way Ryo." Rose said. "Just as that was said, the paramedics came into the room with oxygen tanks.

"Dee you idiot!" Smith yelled as an oxygen mask was placed on Dee's mouth. "Why didn't you turn off the oven before charging in here!?"

Ryo sniffled.

"That's why he charged in here." Ryo said. "He must not have noticed the oven was on. Just was met with the gas. Wanted to get to the victims first before Luke could do more to Hannah."

Ryo stood up as his lover was placed on a gurney and lifted onto a stretcher. Hannah and Mary were already being wheeled out of the room.

"His heart rate's weak, we gotta get him out of here." The medic said.

Ryo nodded as they wheeled him out. He felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Go to him Ryo." Rose said. "I'll wrap things up here."

Ryo smiled worriedly and nodded. He ran out of the room where the paramedics were carrying Dee down the stairs.

"Please, let me go with him!" Ryo begged as they reached the end of the stairs. "He's my partner."

The medics didn't see any issue with it as they lifted Dee into the awaiting ambulance. Ryo got in behind him and took his hand as the doors were closed.

"Dee, please…please wake up." Ryo begged holding his hand. "Please, I love you so much. I love you, please wake up."
