It was day one of the investigations. Reiji let out a small yawn as he walked to his office. Along the way, he stopped when he saw his partner sleeping at his desk. Syo was surrounded by different files of the same case. Did this rookie really stay up all night going over the different cases to find some solid leads? How cute. "Hero-chan..."Reiji leaned and poked Syo's cheek, "Wakey wakey shake and bakey..." Syo murmuring a bit in his sleep and buried his face into his arms. Reiji chuckled in amusement before taking out his phone. After swiping and pressing a few times, he placed it by Syo's head. "3...2...1..." A loud alarm blared out right next to Syo's ear.

"Ahh!" Syo bolted up and looked around in a confused bit frantic state. When he saw no immediate danger, he calmed down and looked down at the phone. He looked over at Reiji when he heard him burst out in laughter. "That's not funny!"

"O-of course it is!" Reiji wiped away a happy tear. "Serves you right for pulling an all-nighter by yourself." Reiji picked up his phone and walked to his office to set his things down. "I hope you napped well," He said before going to his computer and checking a few emails. He was surprised to see a file from an unknown email source, "What is that?" It was risky but he opened the file and saw pictures of written papers from a book. He recognized that rough handwriting, "Ranmaru..." Reiji's eyes scanned down to read the small message:

He's going to be there. Please stop him. I can't do this anymore.

"Um Hero-chan," Reiji called out to Syo, "I think someone one is giving us a helping hand." His partner came to his office and looked at the computer screen. He was stunned as well.

"These are all scheduled charity auctions, birthdays, and night guard shifts at museums. Why does he have all these places targeted." Syo asked as he read everything.

"It's part of his scam," Reiji said as he leaned back in the chair. "He works his way in and leaves with some valuable items to sell off, he's been doing it since we were kids."

"You knew him for that long?"

"Knew him...befriend him... and helped him," Reiji said before printing the pages.

"Helped him?!" Syo had to know more he didn't want any surprises. "What happened between you two?"

"Ah save that for another time," Reiji chuckled lightly and stood up. "Come on, we have some plans to stop." He said before leaving his office. Syo sighed and followed after him.

The case was hot. Reiji made a few calls to confirm the event that was going to be happening. They drove around thinking how were they going to approach this. Perhaps placing some undercover cops in the audience to catch his gang would work in their favor.

"I have to thank you again for letting me come with you," Maya said as she sat in the white limousine with Camus. "I...I really just needed to get away from him," Salty bitter tears were starting to peak out.

"Don't worry yourself about it," Camus said as he handed her a handkerchief. What on earth is he thinking? Interfering in that barbarian's affair by helping his girlfriend leave him. It was probably one of those chivalry impulses. She looked distressed on the street and he decided to be a knight and pick her up. It certainly didn't have anything to do with the white Marilyn Monroe dress that was tight around the bust and waist. As she was patting away the tears because an annoying dance craze ruined the other word, his eyes moved from her delicate jawline, down her slender neck, to the peak of

"But I need to...I know you and Ranmaru don't really get along but you still went out of your way for me..." She placed a gentle hand on his upper arm, "And you didn't even ask for anything." Maya looked up at him but kind eyes turned into ones of surprise when Camus grabbed her wrist and looked back at her.

"Don't confuse my kindness with charity, Miss Lalita. I expect my payment upfront one way or another." Maya was surprised by the serious tone in his voice. She knows if she's going to get what she wants out of this ice-hearted crime boss, she is going to have to play nice.

Maya put on a smile, "What do you have in mind?"

Van and Ren were in the lounge area of their group's hideaway. No one could really ignore the rhythmic thumping and feminine lewd noises coming from the double doors that lead to Camus's bedroom.

"Who would have thought our leader would be so messy," Ren said in amusement as he threw his darts. "To take on a fresh ex of a business partner right away, that's a war in the making."

"Sounds like it was worth it though," Van chuckled.

Maya looked up at the ceiling while Camus buried his face into his neck. Their hands may be interlocked but she was pinned down under his strength. Her legs were wrapped around his waist while he thrust into her. Of course, there were obvious differences between Camus and Ranmaru but they're both still rough on her body. Camus must have been close to finishing by now because his thrusting became erratic. Maya couldn't help but cry out when she felt the wave of ecstasy come over her. Camus let out a soft grunt when he finished and collapsed on top of her.

"Ow...you're h-heavy," She said as she lightly pushed against his shoulders to get him to move.

"Sorry..." he managed to say before rolling off of her. Maya was about to take the stress of his mind and body. He looked over and saw her roll onto her side and pulled the light blue blanket over her naked body. "Do you need anything?"

"Rest. You've really worn me out." She chuckled softly and nuzzled into the pillow. Maya felt the bed shift indicating that he stood up to go wash up and get dressed. "Where are you going?"

"I have a meeting to go to with our partners that do the deliveries. I won't be gone for long." He spoke in a normal tone as if he wasn't just sleeping with her a few minutes ago.

"Are you going to come back in bed when you get back?" She asked teasingly as she stretched herself out a bit for him to enjoy the curves of her body.

"Only if you're going to be in it when I come back," he gave her one more look over before he finished up getting dressed.

"Of course, You made me to tired and sore," She smiled and blew him a kiss as she watched him leave the bedroom and close the door. Her smile slowly faded away and she rolled her eyes. She literally hopped out of bed and strutted to the bathroom as if nothing was wrong with her. "Men believe almost anything if you pump their ego enough," She said before going to the shower to wash. After she was clean she got dressed in Camus's clothes since her dress was ripped off of her and discarded on the ground. " Let's get to work," She said as she cracked her knuckles and left the bedroom.
