Russian Blue
Author's Notes: Ohaaay people! Here you have, chapter 21. Wow. This fic is going great (I think) ok. According to my calculations, this fic will probably end in another 5 chapters more. So, enjoy, kick back and relax. I have a surprise ending planned for this one. You'll like, you'll see.
Disclaimer: FAKE! Belongs to Sanami Matoh. All other characters belong to me. The song I'll be using in this chapter is called "Come some rainy day" and it's sung by Wynonna.

Ryo insisted on going at that raid. He wanted to be the first one to handcuff Dorian, police protocol aside, and kick his ass with everything God gave him. He wanted to put his hands on Dorian so they could leave a mark stronger than the ones he left Gaiev with. Berkeley thought it might be bad if Ryo got his hands on Dorian, but he didn't blame the guy (after all, there had been a time when Berkeley would of done the same if someone had treated Ryo as Gaiev was treated by Dorian); he let Ryo go anyway. He was never able to say "no" to that man!
"We have to stay put until he gives us the signal that every piece is in place," Berkeley instructed the team, "There are about ten customers at that hotel - it's 'staff' night; all of the rooms have a member - or two - of the Choir with a felony list as big as my arm. Be careful - most of them are hit men and are probably carrying guns."
Careful? Stay put? Words that didn't make much sense now that Ryo heard everything that was going on in that room. When did Gaiev started using? He looked over at Diana with murderous eyes, the female FBI agent pretending not to take notice of this. Did Diana know anything about this and if she did, why didn't she tell him about it? Why was everything concerning Gaiev all a big secret to him all of a sudden? He couldn't help but to feel a bit betrayed by this - it was as if his boyfriend was suddenly government property, not to be tamper with, messed with or touched. It just pissed him off to be like this. He couldn't wait another second to have Gaiev back in his arms, kissing his lips, whispering how much he loved him in to his ear. He missed Gaiev - missed him in everyway that's possible to miss someone. But just hold on Ryo, he told himself, holds on a couple of minutes longer.
How much does seconds ache when you haven't loved for entire months!
"Shit. Bad shit, is it? You're going to make it look like a bloody accident, aren't you?" they heard Gaiev said. Berkeley gave the signal. They were to move immediately. This was unexpected. The paramedics where running behind the police officers, making their way up the stairs. Ryo's heart felt pounding as the radio in his ear kept on with Gaiev's words... "Who would ever think of investigating the death of a drug-dependant whore who took some bad shit and died, right?"
"Happy anniversary, honey" he heard Dorian said. Then, he heard that gunshot that chilled him down to the core. No. This wasn't happening. He felt his entire being detach from his body and it was as if he was watching a movie in slow motion. The door came down and Berkeley shouted, "POLICE! GET YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!!" and the same was going on around the floor. Dorian was stunned by this but was forced to the floor by other cops as Ryo rushed to Gaiev's side. He was on the floor. The wound was in the lower abdomen, bleeding badly; his nose was bleeding also, and his eyes looked glassy, like they where there, but not really there. He was breathing harshly, gasping for every bit of air he could get in to his lungs.
"Gaiev! God! Gaiev, answer me!" he heard himself scream. But it was not his voice; it was as if someone else was screaming in his place or something. He didn't know what to do but to place his jacket over the wound to stop it from bleeding. Paramedics came, taking over the situation; Ryo was being pushed back by Drake, who was telling him something in a very commanding voice, but Ryo wasn't sure what it was. Then, it was like lightning. He looked over at Dorian, who was taken in to custody, his hands cuffed behind his back, his head lowered, but looking over at Ryo, like laughing at the entire scene.
Ryo ran towards him, gun in his hand. "BASTARD!" he screamed, hitting Dorian with the gun as hard as he could, knocking the other one off his balance. It took several officers to get Ryo off Dorian because as soon as Dorian hit the floor, Ryo was all over him, like a savage animal who wanted nothing more than to kill his pray. God it felt good to hit that bastard! Berkeley held Ryo back along with Drake once he was up, "Take him out of here!" he commanded, and Dorian was taken out of sight. Outside, the police cars where starting to fill out with members of the Choir, as the people gathered around to see what was going on, with morbid curiosity. Gaiev was taken in a paramedics unit, and Ryo soon followed.
"Sorry," one of the paramedics told him, "Only family members are allowed." Ryo's eyes flashed with anger; he pulled out his badge and looked murderous at the paramedic.
"This man is a key witness here and I'm not going to lose him to the likes of YOU!! The entire Russian mob is after him and I will not allow him to go unescorted!!" he shouted out. Again, Berkeley came to his restraining, followed closely by Diana and other FBI agents (who also participated in the operation).
"RYO!" Berkeley barked, "Get your ass back here!"
"Let him go!" Diana said, then talking to the paramedics, "He's practically the only family this boy has in the city!"
They seemed to understand and as soon as Ryo was up, they headed to the nearest hospital, trying to keep Gaiev alive. He crashed once in the unit, but they where able to bring him back. They where told about his heroin addiction, and that he had a snort of bad cocaine - that he was in distress, but it all seems to matter so little when it comes to a life or death situation. And to Ryo it seemed forever to arrive at the hospital, where Gaiev was taken in to a trauma room while Ryo was taken to the desk, to fill up paperwork, to answer questions made by the clerk there, he understood it was part of the job, but it all seemed so needless to him at that moment.
Suddenly, the room started spinning. Everything took him back to the day Dee died, to when the doctor came back and told him and JJ what Dee was dead. Dead. Not alive, but dead. Dead, dead, dead. Wasn't that a riot? He was alive one minute and the next he was dead, for no reason other than God said, "Let there be death" and there it was. And then the clear shot of JJ blowing his brains out, another one of God's pathetic attempt of a joke. Well, he wasn't going to take Gaiev away - not this time. He wasn't going to allow it. He needed Gaiev alive to feel himself alive as well; he needed Gaiev's words to make him from falling over the edge.
"Officer MacLean?"
He turned to see one of the doctors that had been working on Gaiev. Oh, lucky bitch! It was the same bastard as last time! Ryo swore that if he came with another 'We're sorry but we tried everything-'
Ok. Gaiev had been taken to the OR. He wasn't out of the woods yet, but at least he made it so far. Were there any family members he could contact?
Alexeyena. Where was that girl? Gaiev once told him she was with family, and even gave him a phone number, so Ryo didn't hesitate to dial the number. Alexeyena's voice was heard on the other end of the line. Ryo knew her voice just as well as he knew Gaiev's voice.
"Alexeyena?" he heard himself say in a low voice, as if he didn't want to wake up anybody with his drowning sobs.
"Yes, this is Alexeyena Borinskaya, who is this?"
"It's Ryo..."
"Ryo? What is it? What's wrong? Where's Gaiev?" she sounded almost frantic. Ryo sighed as he began to explain everything. He could hear Alexeyena on the other end of the line going ´Oh my God, oh my God' over and over, and over. He felt himself drowning in guilt and something strangely familiar to emptiness. If Gaiev was gone, he was left empty, as simple as that.
Alexeyena would be on the next plane to New York.
He waited what seemed hours before someone came to find him. He felt his soul leave his body at the sight of the doctor's face, you know the one - long and all out of color at the sight of the person who cares about the patient and he (or she) doesn't know exactly how to tell the bad news? Yeah, that face.
"He's out of surgery," the doctor said, "But he's still unconscious. He crashed a couple of times in the OR... Right now he's in a very unstable condition..."
Translation? Yeah, he could die anytime soon.
God! Ryo hated doctors!
But we move on And put those dreams away Hoping that we'll find them Come some rainy day...

Author's notes: Thank you so very much for reading this! I promise that next chapters will be to cry your pants out (I sometimes cry when I'm writing them, so that's GOT to be good) (
Oooh! Yeah! Almost forgot. Go to my profile and click on the fictionpress address! As you can see, "Sentimental Journey" has changed its name to "Russian Blue: Days of Old" - I think a change is good.
Ok. Happy Holidays everybody!
