I'm writing this as though the seventh book had never happened (I haven't read it yet) so this is a sequel to the sixth book. I don't know why you'd be reading this if you hadn't read the series but if you haven't: this fic contains shounen-ai meaning slash or two males together. You've been warned. So no flaming on that account.

To the actual summary: Ryo and Dee receive they're latest case. Someone is going around, molesting and killing teenage boys. Diana and Berkley are in on the case as well but neither Dee nor Ryo knows why until they find out a secret about Berkley. They aren't able to pick up many leads until Bikky disappears and then reappears again. Then Ryo disappears. No one seems to be that concerned except for Dee and Berkley but neither of them get along well. Read to find out what happens. In a similar format as the book except in words rather than pictures.

ACT I

New York 27th precinct 10:00 AM:

Randy McLain shuffled through the stack of pictures again. They all showed mutilated bodies of teenage boys. Randy, otherwise known as Ryo, bit his lip, worried. He had never doubted Bikky's ability to protect himself but he still worried about him, all the same. Bikky was the right age to be a victim of this killer. It didn't comfort Ryo any that Bikky always took the alleys to get home.

The door opened and a tall, black-haired, green-eyed man slunk into Ryo's office, holding a cup of coffee. Ryo looked up at his partner, Dee. "Chief get mad at you again?" he asked.

Dee glared at him. "It's not MY fault Ted and Drake don't know when to keep their mouths shut. The chief always seems to pop up right when no one expects him."

Ryo went back to looking at his papers. "You shouldn't have been insulting him behind his back."

Dee took a long sip of his coffee. "Easy enough for you to say. You never get in trouble, Mr. Goody-Two shoes," he looked down at the pile of pictures, "Got any leads?"

Ryo shook his head. "No. There's been more and more killings, lately. It's very unusual. Our killer is targeting teenage males rather than woman or girls as is normal. Look at this," he handed Dee a picture, "His mother just identified him yesterday. Gregory Thomson: age 13. He had been molested and killed when they found him. His body was so mutilated, his own mother hardly recognized him..."

He fell silent. Dee watched him for a moment, knowing what he was thinking. "Worried about the brat?" he finally asked.

Ryo looked up at his partner, startled and then bit his lip. "Yeah... I mean he is pretty small for his age and everything and... how did you know what I was thinking?"

"Just call me psychic," Dee took another sip of his coffee, "I know you. You always think about everyone else rather than yourself. Don't worry. The brat will be fine. I should know. He's usually doing his karate on me rather than anyone else. One of these days, I'm really going to hurt him..."

"Dee!" Ryo sighed.

"What? The little bastard always seems to know when to ruin my perfect moments! He's ruined all my plans!!"

"All your plans to pin me down!" Ryo retorted.

They glared at each other until the door burst open and they both heard a familiar voice yell, "DEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Dee didn't stand a chance. J.J. Adams had an uncanny ability to launch himself across the room unto Dee. Ryo stepped aside as the pair crashed onto the ground. Dee looked livid. "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THAT?????" he yelled at J.J.

J.J. wasn't listening. He had flung both arms around Dee's waist and wouldn't let go. Ryo could nearly see the hearts popping out of his eyes. For some odd reason, it caused him a pang of jealousy. He turned to leave the room. "WAIT!!! RYO!!! YOU CAN'T LEAVE!!! SAVE ME!!!"

Commissioner Berkley Rose heard a knock at the door of his office. "Come in," he called, taking off his glasses.

He was disappointed not to see Ryo standing at the door. Instead, a tall feminine frame, dressed in a short, black mini-dress, stood at the door, one hand on her hip. "Diana," Berkley said, pleasantly, "Please come in."

Diana walked over to Berkley, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and sat down in a chair across from him. "You called for me?"

"Yes. I need your help," Berkley told her.

"Not with Ryo, again," a slight look of pain crossed Diana's face, "I thought you'd given up on him."

"Not yet," Berkley replied. He got up and stared out the window, not looking at Diana. "But this does not have to do with Ryo. There's something else I want you here for, Dee Dee."

Diana perked up at her nickname. "Well tell me what you want Commissioner."

"It all has to do with the case Ryo and Dee are working on. But I can't let them know why I'm interested in it. I was wondering if you could come up with a good excuse. And I also just like to have you around when I personally take to a case, Dee Dee. I like your attitude."

"Tell me all," Diana answered, leaning back in her chair.

There was a knock on Ryo's door. Ryo quickly put down the spoon he'd been using to stir his soup with and went to answer it. Dee stood in the door-way. "What are you doing here?" he asked, as Dee walked right past him into the house as though it were his own.

Dee shrugged. "I don't know. I figured your house is closer to the office and I'd kind of like to get there early tomorrow so we can work on the case. Can I sleep over?"

"I... I guess so," Ryo answered, "Any particular reason why you're so excited about getting to the office early?"

Dee actually looked grim. That was unusual. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "They found another body," he answered finally.

Ryo turned around quickly. "Who?"

"He hasn't been identified yet," Dee answered.

"Badly mutilated?" Ryo asked, faintly.

Dee nodded as an answer. Ryo sunk down on the couch beside him. Dee watched him. "Still worried about Bikky?" he finally asked, seriously.

Ryo nodded and then shifted his eyes away. "I'm glad you're here, Dee. It eases the worry a little."

Before he knew what was happening he was in a familiar position below Dee, Dee's lips pressed against his. Why did he always have to do this? Ryo struggled, slightly, and then finally allowed himself to reply to Dee's kiss. When Dee's hands went to tear off Ryo's shirt, however, Ryo suddenly put up a good fight. "NOOO!!! DEE!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! GET OFF DEE!!!"

"Oh come on," Dee's lips were on his neck, "Let's just have a little fun."

"YOU ALWAYS DO THIS!!!! DEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! YOU HORNY APE!!!!!"

The door of Ryo's house burst open. "I'M HOOOOOOMMMEEEE!!!!!!!" Bikky yelled. Seeing Dee on top of Ryo, he ran over to them and kicked Dee. "BE GONE FOUL BEAST!!" he yelled.

"Bikky!!" Ryo was blushing, furiously, "So nice to have you home, early!" His face had I'm SAVED!!!! written all over it.

"BIKKY!!!!" Dee stood up, one of his eyes now black. He went into karate pose. Bikky followed suit.

"Bikky? Dee? No! Stop hurting each other!" Ryo sighed as the usual fight between Bikky and Dee followed, "You two are so immature."

Review if you like it! Pretty please!!!!
