Chapter Two: Ryo the Hostage
Disclaimer: See Chapter 1
Authors note: Hello it's me, Destiny again... I'm glad that people are enjoying my story so far. To tell the truth I was actually scared that everyone would hate my story and tell me to remove it. The reviews I have received for the story have given me more drive to work on it. –Bows politely- Thanks so much for the reviews Megamie, Sweet Sakura Curls, and Yami no Yumi for the first encouraging responses. Also again I give thanks to my sempai, whom with out her constant encouragement I would have never posted this story. (P.S. I also feel a little silly and embarrassed that I made two errors on my summary. –Facefaults into cement-)
Ryo groaned as he regained consciousness. He opened his eyes to see a pitch- black nothingness. Then he realized a cloth was tied around his head, preventing him from seeing his whereabouts. His hands were tied behind his back and his feet were bound as well. He tried to yell for help but was gagged by a cloth that was tied about his jaw. He squirmed on the ground, noticing the feel of dirt against his cheek. "Looks like sleeping beauty has waken up. Get the boss, he'll want to interrogate this pig as soon as possible." Ryo knew that from the sound of the voice his captor was a foreign male judging by his accent. The only thing that he couldn't place was where he had heard the accent before. Ryo spent the next couple of minutes trying to remember when he heard the sound of bar doors being opened and the shuffling of feet next to him. Suddenly a hand grasped his arm and he struggled to break free. He squirmed and he kicked trying to break free from the unknown man's grasp. Suddenly he felt the sharp prick of a needle being inserted into his arm. "This should calm the bastard down some." His unknown captor said in an amused tone. Ryo continued to struggle but soon he felt is arms and legs become heavy as if someone were placing ridiculously large weights on them. As his flailing stopped the unknown man moved to remove his gag and blindfold. It took little time for Ryo's eyes to adjust to the darkness of his prison and to see his captor dressed in a black robe-like garment with a hood that shadowed his face completely. "Who are you? What the hell do you want with me?" Ryo shouted with frustration and a mixture of fear. A light came on in response to his shouting and before him sate a man on a wooden chair. The man in question was wearing a bright white suit that hurt his eyes in the darkness. He had piercing cold blue eyes, and a slivery white hair. He looked to be no more than in his mid twenties and was in great physical shape. "Now now, my sweet detective... was the name Randy I think?" He spoke in a soft sweet voice that sounded reassuring at first but incredibly deceptive. "Yes sir, his name is Randy McLane. Although we heard his associates call him by the name Ryo, several times" The man sitting, whom seemed to be the ringleader of the operation waved the dark-hooded figure off "I think the name Ryo suites him better than Randy... Oh well. Enough with pleasantries, it's time to get down to business. Ryo, I'm in a bit of a tight spot here. You see... the drug exchange was a cover up for something different and we think that you and your friends might have taken the object. Now if you will so kindly tell me where the Angel's Tear sapphire is we can all go home and live happily ever after; how does that sound to you Ryo?" The man smirked as he used a condescending tone with Ryo and awaited his reply. "That'd be great except I don't have it. I hid it at the warehouse and by now the precinct has it." A cocky grin spread across Ryo's face as the man's turned an ashen white. The man recovered quickly and then smiled what seemed like a smile of joy, his eyes showing a cold calculating stare at Ryo. "Good, then we'll get to have some fun with you and the little piggies at the precinct. Chain Mr. Ryo to the wall... after all we need to get him ready for the big photo shoot today." The man stood from his chair chuckling as Ryo was once again blindfolded.
Back at the precinct, Dee had been in Berkley's office for a full four hours since he came into work this morning. "What the hell are we going to do about Ryo? He's been gone for two days now. He's not answering his home phone and I've had to take the damned little monkey Bikky in." Dee shuddered in anger. He had to drag Bikky out of Ryo's apartment kicking and biting as they went. He released a heavy sigh, knowing that even if the little monster gave him so much trouble, Ryo wouldn't have wanted Bikky to be alone. All of a sudden a familiar cold chill crawled up his spine and he rushed to the door. Using a great amount of effort he pushed Berkley's desk in front of the door. Bracing himself behind it he awaited the impact. There was a loud crashing sound from beyond the door and Dee released a sigh of relief. "What was that?" Berkley was lost in thought about the current case and was oblivious to the event that had occurred. "Oh... it's nothing really." Dee grinned widely, trying to suppress his laughter as he heard a weak "Deeee..." coming from the other side of the door. "So... have any ideas as to where we start looking?" Berkley was still lost in thought as Dee pulled an object out of his pocket. "No, but I have a feeling that this object is somehow connected with his disappearance" Dee held out the large sapphire and placed it on Berkley's desk.
Ryo winced in pain as the whip struck across his chest again, causing a line of red welts to appear across his back. "This will stop as soon as you tell us who you think has the stone" Ryo, currently strung up on the stone wall of the room, his back facing the interrogator and his face firmly placed against the wall. "I won't tell, I'd never endanger my friends" Another crack was heard as the whip met with his already tenderized back. "Maybe I'm not instilling enough punishment in you" The dark robed man tossed the whip aside and left the room. Ryo sighed, grateful that he had a period of rest until the torture resumed. He heard the sound of footsteps approaching and prepared himself mentally for even more pain. The man entered, and Ryo heard the crack of another whip along with a metallic sound. "This will be even more fun..." Ryo couldn't help but let out a whimper of pain as he felt the whip crash against his back. Then it struck him again; this time he released a cry of pain as he felt metal spikes dig them selves into his skin and leave fairly decent sized holes. "Don't worry my pretty little piggy. After this is over we can patch you up and do this again tomorrow until we find that gem." Again the whip struck his skin and again he cried out in pain as metal was jammed viciously into his back. He was barely hanging onto consciousness when he heard a click. "That should be enough for today. If this doesn't get a reaction out of the rest of the piggies I'd hate to see what the boss will have us do for the next torture session." The man chuckled lightly as he left the cold, dark, damp room. Leaving Ryo chained to the wall and bleeding, now slipping into a deep resting sleep.
It was late morning when Dee came into the precinct the next day. As he entered the building everything became hushed. The officers stopped working to look in his direction, each having a look of sympathy or pity on his or her face. It was then that he noticed even JJ was not as hyper or excited to see him that he knew that something was wrong. "Dee sempai, the lieutenant wants to see you in his office." After delivering his message JJ returned to his desk and continued with his paper work. Now Dee was really scared. He definitely knew that something was wrong if JJ didn't at least try to glomp onto him. He briskly made his way to Berkley's office. Once in there he noticed the Diana was there as well, Diana was standing behind Berkley, wheeling him to face Dee.
"Dee... we have just got some information in about Ryo." Berkley's voice was soft, yet he kept a stoic mask. "Before we show it to you, you must promise not to act irrationally. If you do it could endanger his life as well as others." Dee nodded numbly as he tried to brace himself for the worst. "Today we were sent a note with some photos enclosed. The not simply stated that we were to return the sapphire gem or else... The photos enclosed was that of Ryo." Berkley pointed to his desk. Dee walked slowly to the photos that were scattered about the desktop; his legs feeling weighed down by the anxiety and anticipation. His eyes widened as he saw what the photos had captured. Each one showed Ryo, hung up on a wall by chains. His back facing the photographer and his face to the wall. The first few had shown his back splotched with large red welts. The last few, which made his stomach clench and his blood boil, had shown his back with large gashes across it. Thin streams of blood trailing down and encircling his sides. "Forensics has the envelope and the note that came with the pictures. They're working as hard and as fast as they can to find out who has Ryo right now." Berkley's words fell on deaf ears as Dee's hand clenched into a fist around the last photo. He quietly set the crumpled photo down and turned, walking from the office and then from the precinct, out into the harsh and corrupted world that had hurt him more than he thought possible.
