Hal and Kai walked into the DS department just after noon. Masataka Hiki turned to them as they entered. "your both a little late aren't you?", he asked looking to a file he had in his hand. Kai got a nervous look bu blinked hearing Hal scoff. "we took the morning off, Kai still needed rest , and food", Hal said going to his desk and sat down. Looking to Kai,and almost telling Kai with his eyes, to sit down. Kai feeling ac ward quickly sat down across from Hal,looking to the floor. Masataka sighed and went over. "by the way Kai, I called your house last night , you weren't home, where were you?", Masataka asked. "he spent the night at my place ... he opened his wounds , and you know as well as I do that he would end up doing something stupid, like some how ending up shooting himself in the head again" Hal said focusing on the files on his desk.

Masataka sighed looking to Kai. "you still haven't told him?, its been over a year and a half, and you haven't told him?", he asked annoyed Hal, looked to Kai. "told me what?", he asked sounding deadly. There was silent for a while before Kai spoke. "the bullet , was a paint bullet, it was fake ... " , he said looking away. Hal twitched. "so, all that time? You were in the hospital,in a 'coma' , you were perfectly fine?", Hal asked in a low tone.

Masataka looked to Hal. " don't blame him, we ordered him to play along, if Sawaki had found out he was alive , he would have hunted him down and killed Kai ... he may have escaped, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have connections That's why we had to play it as if Kia were in a life or death situation, we didn't tell you, because if you had known. You could have blown it. It was real emotion we needed", he said bluntly.

Hal growled, and stood up storming out of the room. Kai got up and went after him only to be punched back by Hal, who left the building. Kai at on the floor looking down, "sorry", he muttered to himself quietly.

Hal walked down the street , looking to the ground. Th-those punks! Making him think that he was going to lose Kia. All those times he went to the hospital, to see Kia. Everyday, he worried of losing him,he had talked to Kai,to see if he could get through to him. He was totally fine! He could here everything! Hal froze.He could here everything! Hal had said some things, that he would never had said to Kai. But only now, Kai heard him be all sappy and .. and .. weak. Oh he would make them pay ... somehow . He didn't know how just yet. But he would. Oh would he ever.

Hal sighed, and continued on his walk. He wanted to cool his head before he went back to the station. Lighting a cigaret, he walked into a small park. Looking around. He paused seeing kids playing at a local play ground. Watching them brought a small smile to his face.

Flashback:
Yukina and Hal ,were playing at the park. Hal was seven and Yukina was six. Yukina sat on the monkey bars and looked down at Hal. "Hal-Sama, when you get older,what do you want to be?",Yukina asked curiously. Hal looked up to her. "huh? Where did this come from?", Hal asked climbing up onto the monkey bars himself. "just answer!", Yukina said in a serious tone. Hal blinked , a few times then shrugged. Seeing Yukina roll her eyes, Hal gave a glare. "oh, and you do?", he snapped. Yukina nodded. "yes, I do actually. I want to be a DS investigator, help take down all those dealers. The ones who support peoples addictions", she said in a very deter mend tone. Hal blinked and stared at her."is this because of what happened to Haru's family?", Hal asked, Seeing Yukina nod he smiled some. "then Ill become one two, together, you and I will help make a difference ... and protect the Innocent", Hal said in a proud tone. Yukina smiled and nodded. "Right!", the two laughed, and made a pact. They then proceeded to run around and play.
End Flashback.

"thinking about old times?", came a male voice from behind Hal. Whirling around ,Hal's eyes widened seeing a boy with jet black hair and hazel coloured eyes,standing behind him. He was wearing a red t-shirt and black jeans. "Haru?", Hal asked in shock. The boy laughed. "So , you do remember your old partner" .Haru said grinning. Hal gave him a look. "of course I do stupid ... its only been two years", Hal said looking annoyed. Then gave Haru a dark look. " what are you doing back in town anyway? I thought you were in another department a few towns over, you did request that didn't you?", Hal asked curious.

Haru blinked , surprised by Hal's question, then smirked. " I'm back, for now at least. Masataka gave the department i was in a call, saying there was a case that you and your new partner would need help in. I was heading over to the station, but i thought I'd take a walk first. Good thing I did, I got to run into you. Want to grab a coffee? Catch up a bit?", Haru asked. Not wanting to go back to the station just yet, and have t deal with Kai,Hal nodded. "Coffee sounds good",he said and started to head for a coffee shop.

Some time after , Hal and Haru were sitting at a table outside in-front of a cafe. Haru nearly burst into laughter when Hal told him all the things about him and Kai. " wow! I'm surprised that he was able to trick you!", Haru said and took a sip of coffee. Hal sighed. "me either, but he did, and I let my self be weak around him!", Hal said frustratedly. Haru gave a smile. "but, by the sounds of it, you really care for this guy, you never show weakness, but when it comes to him, you do, you seem very protective of him", Haru said in a observant tone. Hal gave a scoff. "I only look out for him because if I don't the good for nothing would get himself killed", Hal said . Defending his actions. Haru rolled his eyes. "suurreee", he said looking away.

Hal grumble then blinked looking at a clock. "we better get to the station, no telling what the good for nothing is doing",Hal said standing up. Haru smiled some , and putting some money on the table he stood up. "alright , lets go then", he said calmly. Hal nodded ,and they were both off, heading to the station.

Back at the station , the rest of the investigators were there running around , doing paper work. Looking around , Hal could not spot Kai anywhere. " the good for nothings probably off crying somewhere", Hal said annoyed Haru gave a confused look but let it be as he headed for Masataka's office to let him know he had o rived. Hal on the other hand went to his desk. Sitting in his seat , Hal looked to his desk and began to look over the files he had placed there the night before. As he went though it he froze. A file was missing. "where is Yukina's file?", Hal thought to himself. Looking around ,to see if it had dropped,he growled. If Masataka had taken it... Getting up Hal stormed to Masataka's office. Storming in ,he slammed the door behind him. "where is it Masataka? What did you do with Yukina's file?", Hal shouted with anger. Masataka blinked looking at Hal confused. "I haven't done anything with it ... last time I saw it was n your desk ..." ,he said and looked to Haru, who had a pained expression on his face when Yukina's name was mentioned. Hal sighed. "then where could it have gone?", he asked feeling annoyed that it could just disappear like that. "was anyone around my desk?", Hal asked. Masataka looked thoughtful. "Just the kid, he was looking through that pile of files, he may have taken it when he left in a rush", he said calmly. Hal growled. "why did he leave in a rush?", Hal asked. Masataka shrugged. "I figured he was going to look for you and apologize, but since hes not with you..." Hal cursed. "great, what is that good for nothing up to..huh, i better go look for him...", Hal said heading for the door. Haru looked to Hal. "wait, let me come and help you!", He said following. Hal nodded and they both went out the door and straight to Hal's car.

Once in the car Hal handed Haru his cell phone. "Kai's speed dial #1 .. call him, see if he enters", Hal said speeding out of the parking lot. Haru looked confused. "who?", he asked. Hal blinked. "I ,uh, man ... the good for nothing... the good for nothing name is Kai" Hal said avoiding looking at Haru. Haru laughed. "ah, he has a name", Haru said calmly. Hal gave a glare. "shut up" , Hal said calmly. Trying to hide the blush coming across his face. Haru laughed and diled Kai's cell phone. But blinked when he got no answer. "he's not picking up Hal" ,Haru said looking to him. Hal blinked looking to Haru. "he's not?impermissible always answers when I call", Hal said and picked up the speed,driving deeper into the city. By night fall there was no sigh of Kai anywhere. Hal had left a good thirty messages on his phone, and there still was no reply.

Hal sighed as he came to a stop at the park. "where could that good for nothing be?", Hal asked ,mostly to himself. Haru looked to Hal and frowned, "we'll find him Hal, don't-", Haru stopped hearing Hal's phone ring. Looking at the caller ID , Hal was relived to see Kai's number,though he didn't show it. He quickly answered it. "what the hell you good for nothing? Where are you? Why haven't you answered your phone?", Hal shouted. Then , when the reply came on the other end, Hal froze, not hearing Kai's voice. It was someone else. Someone Hal did not know. ["Hal Kurabayashi, come retrieve your partner Kai Eto, before he gets into trouble, he's in the east east end of town at the Hibisho motel... resting,he is safe,for now],Hal blinked when the other end hung up. He growled slightly. If someone had hurt Kia... Without a word , Hal took off towards the other end of town. 'Kai ... you better not be hurt ... or you'll have to answer to me!",Hal thought angrily.
