I don't own YugiOh or LA confidential.

Chapter 4 - Congratulations Detective Lieutenant "Bloody Christmas", read chief of police Gozaboro Kaiba from the paper in his hands, "the press love to label, don't they McFlyerson." Bakura remained silent, staring from one of the three men sitting in front of him to the other. DA Yami Marik was twiddling with a pen on a chair to the left, Gozaboro was sitting behind his desk, and to the right was chief of Detectives Pegasus, Bakura's boss. "District Attorney Y. Marik, would you like to say anything?" said G. Kaiba, turning to Yami M. "You and Officer Wheeler brought the liquor to the station, but Joey was already drunk. So do you see that appearing as a voluntary witness against him would lessen the damage you've already done to yourself?" All three were staring at Bakura expectedly, but Bakura didn't know why they would think he would do that. "I won't testify against my partner or anybody else." Said Bakura shortly. Pegasus nodded to himself as though expecting it, whilst Gozaboro asked for Bakura's badge and gun.

"Set them on the table and get out of here, you're suspended."

Two minutes later Bakura was on his way out of the building when he saw Ryou heading towards the chief's office. Bakura knew Ryou would be asked the same questions, but Bakura knew that unlike himself, Ryou would testify. Most likely against Joey and Bakura.

"Close the door McRyouson." said Pegasus, as Ryou entered the room.

"Justice has to be served gentlemen, of course I'll testify."

So smart Ryou was, always knew what was coming.

"We're glad you feel that way, most of the men don't."

"I'm not most men." Said Ryou smiling.

"Well good, if that's all McRyouson then you're dismis-" started Yami Marik.

"May I make a suggestion sir?" interrupted McRyouson, without waiting for an answer Ryou continued, "It would be a good idea to transfer the blame to the men who have already earned their pension. That way hard working officers like Brick Tamland who may have got into the fight can carry on working. But then not everyone can get off Scott free, so convict Wheeler and McFlyerson. For my ideas, I think I deserve a promotion."

"I will promote you McRyouson," said Pegasus, "to Detective Lieutenant, effective immediately. If you think you can handle the men's hate for snitching. And I will fire Wheeler. But Bakura McFlyerson is a valuable officer, who will remain at work until retired. Dismissed Lieutenant McRyouson."
