A/N: I apologise for the delay and I also, apologise for the shortness of this chapter. I had a mild writers block when it came to encrypting Kai into this chapter, but hopefully now that it is complete, updates should be more frequent, if college don't get in the way. Carmen: It's okay to be random, I'm random 24/7 and more Tyson will come soon. The heatedness will be in the following chapter however. I promise. shadowcat: Thanks. Kai's in this chapter, but as said to Carmer, the hot stuff will be present soon. Gremlin evil: I can tell your patience is wearing thin and I'm sorry. It's was morning when I wrote this, but I promise, the Rei/Kai will be written so much better. This is a key chapter however. Thanks for bearing with me.

Chapter Fourteen

"You've gotta be kidding me," Ian's eyes widened at Kevin's revelation later on that day as they wandered along the 'threes' aimlessly.

"Yeah! A huge stash is being shipped in, in the next couple of weeks," Kevin confirmed, lowering his voice. "Just don't ask me where it's coming from, but it means big things on our part"

Ian grinned briefly.

"But you're forgetting one thing, Kev,"

"What?"

"Jurgen" The Russian stopped progressing, folding his arms. "Shipping in a few's no problem, but a grand's worth?"

"Don't worry," Kevin waved his hand in an unconcerned fashion. "Lets just say I've got some friends in high places. They'll do the rest and before ya know it, we'll have this place in the bag. You know people on the 'twos' are as bad as they come. Even some up here. They're all gagging for the white stuff. We'll be rich"

Ian smirked.

"Now you're talking my language,"

Things seemed to be looking up these days for the short Russian. He was about to be filthy rich or at least as rich as a prisoner could get and he was having fun dealing out his revenge on Oliver and Enrique, who he noted, were crumbling under the pressure. He wondered if they'd figured it out yet or if the brightness of their clothes was somehow clouding their better judgement – if they had any.

"So what now?"

"Ya know we're still gonna need a couple of extra hands with the shipping," Kevin thought aloud. "If too much gets sent to us only, it'll look suspicious"

The longhaired shorty thought for a second before he sighted a familiar heading into his dorm. Kevin smiled and Ian, though slightly baffled by this followed his friend's gaze curiously and then huffed.

"You're not serious," He asked. "Why him? I'm sure that he's was working with the goons with the way he carries on"

"Rei's alright actually," Kevin justified. "You know we go way back. Plus he's helping me avoid Lee."

"That's a first," Ian snorted. "Never thought teacher's pet over there could turn his back on his own kind."

The partners in crime soon approached the slightly open dorm and though Ian chose to wait outside, Kevin slipped in anyway for a brief word.

"How ya doin, Rei?" He saw his Chinese comrade sigh heavily, but he chose to ignore the slight ignorance in his reply.

"What do you want, Kevin?"

"Just thought I'd say 'hi'" Kevin beamed, pretentiously.

"Lee's in the Games Hall if you must know," Rei sighed.

He was laid on his bed, with his back towards Kevin and truthfully he just wanted some peace. He had a lot to think about.

"That's good, but that's not why I'm here," Kevin continued. "I need a favour,"

Rei turned around and sat up instantly.

"I do too many favours for you already, Kevin," He snapped.

"I'll pay you!"

"I don't want your money," He snapped again.

"Why can't you see things from my point of view for once, Rei?"

"Forget it, Kev!" Ian had poked his head in from outside, after hearing the slightly raised voices. "He's too much of a role model to even consider making a buck or two?"

"Is this another one of your drug dealing schemes?" Rei looked to Kevin, disgustedly. "I seriously think you should stop this before you get caught. If you don't then I might have to do something about it"

"Ohhh, touchie today, are we?" Ian mocked. "Anyone would think he was suffering from PMS."

"How about you take a hike, Ian?" Rei spat back.

"Kinda reminds me of that Salima chick," Kevin plonked himself down on Lee's bed absentmindedly. "One day she was all weedy and the next she's a mega bitch."

"Yeah, about half the Wing wanna screw her over good," Ian replied.

"What about the other half?"

"They wanna screw each other," Ian murmured to which the two dealers laughed aloud.

Rei in the meantime screwed up his face.

"Don't talk about her like that," He stated, defensively to which Ian merely sneered.

"I think you'd fancy screwing her yourself, wouldn't ya Rei?"

The Chinaman glared, as Ian laughed once more.

"Well you have been talking to her a lot," Kevin explained. "It does look suspicious."

"She's just my personal officer. Nothing more," Rei validated.

"Personal Officer. That can be seen in more ways then one," Ian added.

Rei sighed. He really wished they'd just leave him alone, but force never seemed to work on these two.

"Nah, that's impossible 'cause he likes Kai," Kevin blurted out.

Rei's eyes widened, his face turning a pale white. He glared towards Kevin before looking at the astounded expression on Ian's face. However, it soon turned to that familiar grin that the Russian often did. It was creepy, but one could always tell that he was up to no good. This piece of information would be useful to him.

"So lemme get this straight. You're gay?"

Rei blushed. Nowadays, he didn't know what he was. Ian continued laughing even more.

"You can't deny it," Kevin urged. "So just tell him. It's not like you've never spoken to the guy,"

"The day Kai starts dating again will be the day you cross over to the dark side and I can't see that happening anytime soon," Ian said, whipping the tears that had escaped from his eyes during his amusement.

"What are talking about?" Rei asked.

"You'll find out soon enough," Ian said. "I say we get outta, Kev. Rei's no use to us"

The Russian got up and made for the door.

"The offer still stands ya know, Rei?" Kevin silently pleaded.

"I want nothing to do with this," Rei replied, sternly.

"Suit yourself!"

---------------------

Water splattered onto a pale body, wetting two-toned locks, as Kai stood in the showers that afternoon, glad to be away from the crowds. He sighed to himself, staring down at the floor and the water trickled down his back, washing the shower gel away.

It was late afternoon and he had not long gotten away from Ian who seemed to hang on him like a third arm, though this time he seemed very preoccupied with Kevin. Kai guessed they were cooking up another plot for their so-called business. He hoped they would ask nothing of him because for his own scam to work, he would have to keep his head down and out of trouble with the officers.

Speaking of his own scheme, things appeared to be looking up. He had been watching Rei, not only to appear as if he were interesting, but also so as to interpret his reactions. Rei was becoming more nervous and anxious by the second. He could no longer stare Kai in the eye for more then two seconds without looking away. Whether Rei was shy or uncertain of himself, Kai couldn't tell, but he was enjoying what it was doing to him. It was most probably the most interesting aspect of being locked down.

It made him sound quite evil, sadistic even, qualities he remembered Bryan having, but things were coming together and he'd have Rei soon. Nonetheless, it was still down to Rei to make the first move.

Once he had Rei, he'd soon have Lee and anyone else who respected Lee and then he'd make his escape. He'd be on the run again. He'd change his name this time after having no one to come back for, no one to depend on him and he'd start a new life. Tala would wish he'd never done this to him; that he'd never broken his heart. All would be good.

As he turned off the water and wrapped a towel around his naked form, Kai couldn't help but smirk. Things were starting to fall into place.

I apologise for the shortness of Kai's part. But next chapter shall definitely fulfil all your Kai/Rei needs.
