A/N: More drama, more Life Time Movie Network stuff. Ejoi! I apologize if
the characters are a little OOC. SORRY! I know my story doesn't really
follow the manga very well. But what can you do? I also know cops don't get
3 month holidays either. But I wanted to do something different. Not a
typical Dee/Ryo story. That's why I'm writing it. If you don't like, please
don't bitch to be about it. I'm not trying to sound mean, but, eh! To those
who are not bitching, thank you. Not everything has to follow protocol, so
there. NEGH! Oh yeah. I'm mature.

The next day Dee returned to the office. He explained that Ryo wouldn't be returning and requested to have a new partner assigned to him. The chief asked Dee why Ryo wouldn't be returning. He answer was simply "He found something better." The chief nodded and told Dee he would have a new partner in about a week. Dee thanked him and left his office.
"Dee? Dee?" Dee looked up to see JJ staring at him. "Where's Ryo?" he asked.
"Ryo's not coming back. And could we please not talk about him?" JJ nodded.
"So how was your honeymoon?"
"Could we not talk about that either? Let's just not talk at all. Alright?"
"Yeah, sorry. I'll see you later." Dee waved him off. He ran his fingers through his hair and looked over at Ryo's desk. He picked up a picture frame. It was photo of him, Ryo, Bikky and Carol. He had his arm around Ryo's waist and his chin resting on his shoulder. This was taken a few months earlier. He took a deep breath to keep from crying.
"Why am I crying? I have no reason to cry. He's the one who fucked up. Not me. I didn't go and sleep with someone on our honeymoon," he said out loud. He didn't notice Drake standing behind him and almost jumped out of his skin when he made his presence known. "Drake, what are you doing here?"
"Is that why Ryo's not coming back?" Drake asked him. Dee stared at him. He couldn't lie. Drake heard him. He nodded. "And you left him there?" He nodded again. "You're not going to talk to him?"
"There's nothing to talk about? He fucked another man on our honeymoon! I don't want to even look at him."
Drake shook his head. "So that's it. You don't care what happens to him now?" Dee grew silent. Deep inside he was worried about Ryo. After everything Sally told him, maybe leaving him alone wasn't the best thing after all.
"I do care. It's just. I caught him with another man, okay? He said he loved me."
"And probably still does."
"No."
"So, you think just because he slept with another man, he doesn't love you?" Dee nodded. "Alright. Believe that. But I don't. I believe that he still loves you. But it doesn't matter what I think. It matters what you think." Before Dee could say anything he walked away.

Ryo walked quietly along the boardwalk. He saw Sally's bar up ahead so he went towards it. Sally didn't say anything as Ryo say down. He stared at the bar and put some money down for a drink. She went to take the money and noticed the bruises on his face. She knew Joey gave them to him. But she couldn't prove it. Ryo would just deny it. Just like all the others. She gave him a drink.
"So how are you doing today Randy?" she asked. Doing her best to sound happy.
"Good. You?"
"Good." She noticed him fiddling with a small ring. Dee's wedding ring. He was gone. Leaving Ryo alone. She mentally cursed Dee out. She could see the hurt in Ryo's eyes. Suddenly he grabbed the bottle and left. He continued to walk along the boardwalk. Dee meant everything to him. And he fucked it all up.
[You're mine now]
Ryo shutter. Joey was just having fun with him. And he knew it. But there was nothing he could do about it. He downed the beer and threw it away. Maybe if he got drunk enough, he could numb the pain. He heard a voice calling from behind him. He began to feel ill. A pair of lips kissed the back of his neck. "Hello lover."
"Joey."
"Is something bothering you?" Ryo shook his head. "Are you sure?" He nodded. Joey wrapped his arms around Ryo's waist and kissed his neck again. "I love you." Ryo cupped his hand over Joey's. A tear ran down his cheek. "I love you, too."

Bikky punched the wall when Dee told him what happened. He didn't want to believe it. Carol gently grabbed his hand. Bikky was shaking, he was so angry. How could Ryo do something like this? And after everything that happened between them. "AHH!"
"Bikky calm down," Carol said softly. "There's no need to get mad."
"There's no need to get mad?" He asked angrily. "There's every need. Ryo cheated on him! RYO! My dad!" Carol pleaded with him to calm down. "Why? Why would he do something like this? What the fuck was going through his head?!" Carol bowed her head. She didn't know what to say. Dee walked over to him. Bikky grabbed on to him and cried. "Why did he do this?"
"I wish I knew," Dee said calmly.

Sally closed her bar and headed home. She noticed Ryo sitting on the dock looking out over the water. She saw the bruises on his face. They probably covered a good part of his body. She sat down next to him and took his hand in hers. "What are you doing out here all alone?" she asked him.
"Thinking," he said with a slight smile. "It's the only time I have to get away from Joey." Joey. Sally let out a slow breath. "I wonder what Dee's doing right now. Probably burned all my stuff."
"Don't say that. Dee still loves you." Ryo laughed. How could Dee still love him? "Give me his address." He gave her a look. "Please. I want to write to him. Don't worry. Joey won't find out. I promise." Ryo looked at her. "Please Randy." He nodded and told it to her. She kissed him on the cheek and left. She had to tell Dee what was going on before something really bad happened to him.

A young dark hair man walked into the station and up to Dee. He extended his hand. "Jason Meyers," he said cheerfully. "I'm your new partner." Dee shook his hand.
"Dee Laytner. Please sit down." As soon as he did, a strange feeling came over Dee. This was the fist time in years someone else, besides Ryo, sat in the desk across from him. It didn't feel right. He smiled and spent some time getting to know his new partner.
JJ watched them from the other room. "Doesn't he care about Ryo? Doesn't he care what happens to him?" He looked at Drake.
"He does," Drake said.
"Then why doesn't he do something?" Drake shrugged. JJ was right. Why didn't Dee do something? Maybe he didn't care after all.

Sally put an envelope in the mailbox. "Please get this Dee," she whispered. "Randy needs you."

Another chapter done. Hopefully no one else will bitch at me. Yeah, I had no Ryo abuse this chapter. But I'm not done yet. Keep reading.
