A chilled rain fell. The droplets reflecting the police lights like many-faceted gems.
Dee leaned against the alley wall and took a long drag on his cigarette. "Well?"
Water dripped from his dark hair, plastering it against his olive skin. A low rumble of thunder seemed in response to his dismal mood.
"Gunshot wound. Apparent suicide." The man said.
"Dee--," Ryo was beside him.
Dee removed his jacket and laid it over the young man. He knelt, his face grim. "Why?"
"He couldn't," Ryo draped his arm around Dee's shoulders and was silent as the rain continued to fall.
