Chapter 3

12:15 am the evening had turned into the early morning hours before anyone knew it. The team was exhausted and coming up with no leads despite their efforts. The Major had declared a good hours break for all. Togusa decided to load up on more coffee despite the fact his liver hurt with the stress of too much caffeine.

" You better watch your self there, to much caffeine will not only damage your insides but you'll go blind,"

He stopped pouring the damaging liquid and looked behind him, sure enough it was that Chinlou guy. He'd been bothered by him all night and was frankly sick of it. Sighing he turned around 'better now then never' he thought placing his hands backward on the counter top.

" Why are you asking me strange questions? I don't even know you first of all and second what do you really care?"

" Why do you?"

" Because it's inappropriate. I don't care if other's in my squad ask me questions like that but you I do."

" But I wasn't asking a question I was making an observation. Just like I observed your married and have kids and I'd bet their all natural."

Dumbfounded and shocked all he could do for a moment was blink. Then he remembered what he was doing and whom he was talking to and found his voice again, " Don't you say that around me! You make it sound like your one of those organ harvest people! And don't you dare bring up my family! I don't even know who the hell you are!"

" Do organ harvesters offend you? Or do you just think some day they'll just come and rip yours out? "

' What is with this guy!' Togusa thought before he opened his mouth again to respond, " It's how you're saying it." He practically growled out.

" Wooh boys don't bring out the boxing gloves just yet! We have a job to do!" Batou said cheerfully walking into the room holding his hands up in a mock surrender. Both men looked at him. For a moment no one said or did anything and then as if on cue Yin left the room and Togusa went back to his coffee. The large blonde walked slowly up to his partner and friend placing an arm around his shoulders. The smaller man side glanced and shrugged slightly to let him know to back off but other then that attempted to continue to pour his beverage.

" So…. what's with you and Yin?" He asked removing his muscular arm, " He's been talking to you all night."

" Yin?..You two on a first name basis already?" Togusa practically sneered.

" What jealous?" Batou asked folding his arms and leaning agenst the counter a smug smile on his features.

" What! No I just don't like that guy," he had practically dropped the coffee, " and if you say shit like that again this coffee's gonna be on your head!" he warned pivoting to face the much larger blonde man.

" Seriously. What is it with you two? You've been acting wired around that guy all night."

" I already told you. I don't like him. I can't stand him."

" Really then what was this fight about?"

" I assume you were hanging around. And in that case you already know." He explained sitting down at one of the small tables in the recreational room.

" So what kind of questions has he been asking you?" The other man asked setting himself as well; " I notice he only comes up to you when no ones close."

" Nothing,." He responded blowing a little on his coffee.

" Oh and I thought you're the one who wanted honesty in this relation ship," Batou said seriously but when the smaller man looked up at him he smiled.

" What relationship? Last I checked I wasn't married to you." He tried to put a kidding smile to it but he really was being serious and his partner knew it.

" You know what? You take offense too easily little guy." That earned the blonde a mean glare.

" I just take offense when people I don't know start talking about my family or talking to me like they know me. " He angrily commented taking a sip of his drink, " Aow! Damn!" Batou started to laugh at his partner's stupidity after a few good minuets he glanced at the human's watch.

" Time to get back to work buddy, " he said still laughing at Togusa's face and walking away.

8: 20 am Finally they had called it a night! He couldn't get out of HQ fast enough he had had enough of that Yin fellow's inquiries. Constantly asking things about him his family and too many personal things for that man to know much less have any right to ask. He'd never been much for speeding unless it was an emergency but he figured today it qualified he wanted to put as much distance between him and that guy as possible! He wondered if that guy had been so damn curious cuz he liked him or something. It was about the only thing that didn't come up. He didn't seem to be interested in his preference of partners or else he would've told the guy he only enjoys women and the only one he enjoys is already living with him. He had kind of wished he just told the guy but if it wasn't what he was doing then it would've been embarrassing and awkward, but then again he hated the guy so what did he care? Not to mention his obsession on him being natural, if he heard that word anymore he would kill. Pulling into the driveway exhausted he noticed his wife outside with the kids. It appeared as though they were getting ready to go somewhere. She noticed him and waved and as he parked his eldest Jesse ran up to his window and was shouting.

" Daddy! Daddy! Your home!"

He waved hi to her through the glass and tried to look more energetic then he was, " Hi Jesse," he said turning off the engine and getting out, " Honey where are you going?" he asked walking up behind her and kissing her cheek.

" Well me and Jesse are going to go to the beach in Yoshima today," She replied kissing him back then she leaned back and gave him an odd expression, " you look awful honey."

" Long night," was all he could really say in no way was he about to elaborate on the Yin creep, " Were is Kyle?" he asked concern crossing his fine features and looking around.

" He's in the house my sister, Risa is watching him today, " she smiled kissing him again.

Relief setting in he smiled, " well I'll come with you ladies."

" No Togusa, you need to sleep."

" I can sleep there."

Both parents's laughed a little.

" Look yesterday was suppose to be my day off and while I've got the time for however long I should spend it with my family…. I want to. In fact I'd love to go to the beach with Japan's most loveliest ladies."

" Ok if you think you're up to it. I don't mind if you sleep there but not all day understand? I want to be with you, " she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck and pulled him closer as she moved her face unto his ear, " and maybe tonight I can really be with you," she whispered letting him go and smiling.

" I wanna go!" Jesse screamed jumping up and down in the driveway. He smiled at his wife.

" Let's go," he said tiredly, " I'll drive," when she shot him a concerned look after placing Jesse in her car seat he added, " It'll keep me awake." She agreed with a smile and a nod. He started up the car and waited for her to get in and buckle her belt. He placed the blue car into reverse and backed out of their driveway, then into drive and began to leave their neighborhood and head to Yoshima.

" Thank you for coming along. I've missed you around, " she began looking at her white Capri pants, " You think I'd be use to it. In a way I am but I don't think I'll ever get over worrying over you. Police work is still dangerous even in Japan you – " What ever else she was about to say was stopped by a loud and unsettling crash as a gray large humve type car crashed swiftly into the passenger side. Jesse screeched in the back, he couldn't the scream was trapped and killed as the air bags deployed and the car spun around frantically. He vaguely remembered hearing another crash and feeling the vibrations to his left. He barely recalled the sensation of being pulled up as he passed out.
