AN: Chapter 4!
Dee walked into the bar. The bar tender was the only one who really was paying attention to him. Dee sat down on a stool, and the bar tender came up to him.
"What can I get ya?"
"Just a beer please."
The bar tender nodded and hurried back with Dee's beer. He sat quietly sipping on the beverage, when a girl came up to him.
"Hey honey…. what's your name?"
Dee looked at the blonde woman standing beside him.
"Why should I tell you?"
The women looked a bit surprised at this answer but she didn't let it faze her.
"Because I wanna know whose name I'll be screaming later."
Dee just smirked. Typical. He normally met girls like this every time he came into the bar. Girls who didn't give a damn who they screwed with, and more importantly, they didn't give a damn about themselves.
"Well, I'm sorry. Then I guess you don't get to know my name."
The girl was a little angry now.
"What does that mean?"
"It means that I don't mess around with girls like you."
The girl was really angry now.
"What? Are you completely gay or something? You have this beautiful girl standing right next to you, and all you can say is that you don't do girls like me?"
Dee nodded his head.
"I don't like girls who have been around the block many times, and I want to stay clean. Oh, and by the way, I'm not gay, I'm bi."
With that, Dee threw some money down on the bar for his beer, and walked out.
That night was bitter cold. He wrapped his jacket around himself. He had long ago turned in that old denim jacket for something a bit warmer. The new jacket he sported now was a plain black jacket with a fairly warm lining. Still not warm enough for a night like this.
'I really wish summer was here.'
Dee mused to himself as he watched all the happy people around him buying Christmas gifts for loved ones. Dee remembered long ago that night he met that strange man. It was around this time too.
'I still wish I had that scarf. I carried that thing around for years, until it became too warn for me to even use it as a scarf anymore.'
Dee tried so hard to remember where it was that guy lived. But he had traveled around so much since he had met that man that he didn't quite remember where he lived.
'He was really very nice. Kinda cute too. If I still hadn't been so effected by what had happened to me…maybe right now I'd be in a nice warm bed, with him cuddled against me.'
Dee sighed. Damn that father of his. Getting him mixed up in all of that business of his. If it weren't for that mafia of his fathers he would be living in the lap of luxury instead of traveling around for so many years trying to escape the memories and demons that now plagued him everyday.
'Ah well, I guess I can't complain. At least I've got a small run down place to live now, and a job.'
Dee walked further down the street. He lived in a very bad part of town, but it was all he could afford.
'At least it's got heat and a bed. It's also got running water. That's all I really need anyway.'
Dee turned down his street and was soon walking into his house. He turned on a small lamp that was on a crate by the door. The light illuminated his small treasures. A mattress with a few pillows and a nice comforter, one small rug, and two beanbag chairs that he found while walking home one day. Someone was just throwing them out, when Dee walked by and saw them there. He had always lived by the old saying 'one man's trash is another man's treasure,' so without hesitation he picked both the chairs up and took them home.
Dee plopped himself down onto his mattress and sighed. He loved coming home from a day of work and plopping himself onto his mattress. It was one of the greatest feelings in the world for him. Dee soon fell into a dreamless sleep. These were the types of dreams he liked.
OOOOooooOOOOoo
Ryo and Ted found themselves in one of the worst parts of town. Ted had a job to do, and he thought it would be a good experience for Ryo if he tagged along with him.
"So, what's the call about Ted?"
Ryo asked sleepily
"Tired already kid? The fun hasn't even started yet."
Ted laughed at the evil look he got from Ryo.
"I'm just kidding. It's a domestic disturbance call. I get these all the time from this neighbor hood."
Ryo nodded his head.
"So what makes this one so special that I get to tag along?"
"This one is also linked to a smaller hooker case we have been following. We think the guy here is a major pimp."
Ryo nodded again as they pulled up to the house.
OOOOOoooooOOOO
Dee had been awoken by the loud screaming noises coming from outside. He sat up and looked out the window. He then he saw the police pulling up. He knew right then that it was his neighbor Tyler. He and this chick he hooked up with hadn't been getting along.
Dee got up and looked out his living room window. He gasped when he saw who was getting out of the car. Those honey blonde locks. The strong muscular build. That beautiful angelic face. The only person he had ever met since that faithful night well over 17 years ago that had given a damn about his health and well being. His Ryo was only just a few feet away. If he would go and walk just out that door, he could thank that man properly for the care that he had got at his hands. But his body just didn't seem to want to move. He was paralyzed.
OOOoooOOO
"Ryo?"
"Yeah Ted?"
"How 'bout if you go to some of the neighbors houses and see if you can get a report. Maybe one of them can tell us about the events leading up to this."
Ted said as he motioned towards a girl who had been beaten pretty badly. Her boyfriend was in the police car, already handcuffed and ready to go. The paramedics were working on the girl as Ryo walked across the street.
OOOOooooOOOO
Dee saw Ryo come across the street and head to his neighbor's house. He knew no one would be home. They were never home this early in the morning. He saw Ryo slowly inching closer and closer to his own house. Ryo was finally right in front of Dee's window. He knew Ryo couldn't see him due to the curtains and lack of light, but Dee could see him. He saw how his hips swayed back and forth. Much like that night oh so long ago when Ryo was making him his food.
Dee was knocked out of his thoughts when he heard light knocking on his door. This was either now or never. He got his breath and went to the door. He unlocked it and opened it. Soon he was staring face to face with Ryo.
"Dee?"
Dee nodded his head. Ryo stood there in shock.
AN: Aren't I evil? Don't you just wanna kill me now? Well…if you did that you wouldn't get to hear the rest of the story now would you? Muahah! Also, side note on dates used in this story: Dee's life changed 17 years ago, he had met Ryo just two years after a big ordeal. It's been 15 years since he last saw Ryo….so just in case you were wondering where I got this 17 and 15 thing from…Yeah. I confused myself big time to if your still confused, you won't be in later chapters. It'll all be explained.
