I don't own YuGiOh. Based on the Film by Curtis Hanson.

Chapter three – Bloody Christmas

"I need an order to twelve Westgarden Avenue, scotch, whiskey, rum gin." Said the mysterious blonde standing across from Bakura at the liquor store.

God she looks like Veronica Lake, thought Bakura as he eyed her up and down, deciding on whether or not to make a move. The liquor for the party would be ready soon, and he would have to rejoin his drunken partner in the backseat of his patrol car. Bakura approached her.

"Merry Christmas." Said Bakura, attempting a smile.

The woman turned round to look at him, blonde hair falling in her face. "And merry Christmas to you officer."

"That obvious huh?" said Bakura frowning.

"It's practically stamped on your forehead." Said the woman smiling as she brushed the hair from her face.

"There you go McFlyerson." Said the shop owner, passing him his booze for the party in a big brown box.

Bakura would have got straight in his car and drove to the station, ad it not been for the woman with a bandaged nose and black eyes sitting in the backseat of a car with a rich looking gentlemen. The man was draped in a pink suit with long hair to match sitting beside the redhead, taking a drag from a cigarette. Bakura walked over and tapped on the glass with his badge.

"You Ok mam?" said Bakura.

"She's fine Mr…?" said the pink thing beside her.

"I'm not asking you, you stupid fucking pixie." Bakura turned back to the woman. "Did someone hit you?"

Just then a man who Bakura presumed was the man's bodyguard stepped out of the drivers seat of the car.

"Hey you." Said the bodyguard. "Leave Mr. Schrauder alone."

The man made a move towards Bakura, but Bakura grabbed his arm, twisted it, and threw the man's face onto the boot of the car.

"Get your fucking head down." Said Bakura pulling out the man's wallet.

"I used to be a cop myself you know."

"Tristan Taylor." Bakura read from the man's ID, " Never heard of you."

"They call me Dopey."

"I don't give a crap what they call you."

Bakura made his way back to the woman in the car. He asked her to step out of the car, but then the woman from the booze shop turned up by the car.

"It's not what you think officer." Said the blonde Veronica Lake look alike, stepping into the car. "I'll see you around officer."

Dopey took his seat in the drivers seat and drove the group off.

Bakura turned around to find Joey watching the speeding car go off.

"What? Did you know them or something?" asked Bakura.

"Yeah, that gut Tristan used to be a run down cop. Small world eh?"

They arrived at Domino station 15 minutes later with time to spare for the party. They walked in the front door to see Sgt. Ryou at the watch commander's desk, sorting threw a bunch of random papers. By his straight back and upright posture Bakura could tell that he loved his job. It was just a shame that Ryou was a coward and would screw himself to get a hit, otherwise they might be friends.

"What's up Pussseeeey?" slurred Joey slamming his fist on the table.

"The parties upstairs Wheeler, get out of here." Said Ryou, not looking at him.

"C'mon Joey." Said Bakura, trying to drag Joey upstairs.

"Hey McRyouson, look what I got here." Said Kaiba pushing Marik into the room.

"Send him down to lock up." Nodded Ryou.

"You heard the man." Said Kaiba to nearest officer. "How's it hanging McFlyerson?"

"What's it to you?" said Bakura, shaking Kaiba's hand.

And things seemed to be going so well. In came five handcuffed former executives of Kaiba Corp, who it turned out were the ones who assaulted Weevil and Rex. Well as soon as Joey saw them, he punched the nearest baldheaded guy he could find. Bakura and Ryou tried pulling him back, but one of the big five decided to insult Bakura's mom. Bad move. Bakura smacked him into Kaiba, who then smacked him back after he got blood on Kaiba's trenchcoat. Officer's Ron, Brick, Champ, and Brian joined the fray, and over the next few minutes, people were getting set on fire, tridents were being thrown, and Brick stabbed on of them in the heart. Ryou was forced into a cell after attempting to break up the fight. Whilst all this was happening Odeon managed to take the picture that made the headlines of the DC Bugle. "Bloody Christmas."
