A/N: Trying something a little different. Hope it's not too repetitive!

A shared moment.

Two men, sitting in the aftermath of a case.

One, having lost his sister in a horrible serial-killing spree, committing suicide from losing the last of his family, losing his mobility, losing his reason to live.

The other committing suicide after being beaten and ridiculed his insight, intelligence, detachment.

Simultaneously, one pulled the trigger, the other overdosed.

Their last thoughts were that they never felt like they belonged there anyway.

A shared moment.

Two men, sitting in the aftermath of a case.

One, having witnessed a horrible murder, recounting the morbid scene in the hopes that the killer will be brought to justice, that the law will prevail, the child be revenged.

The other searching for said killer, ruthlessly hunting down the man not for the child but for enjoyment, stimulation, a high.

Simultaneously, one is shot in a surprise attack, the other for witnessing the attack.

Their last thoughts were that they never felt like they belonged there anyway.

A shared moment.

Two men, sitting in the aftermath of a case.

One, bleeding out in an attack perfectly disguised to look like a random mugging by a serial killer, murderer, psychopath.

The other, riding the high that came from a potential kill, eventual murder, painful death.

Simultaneously, one is assassinated for being too great a threat to the government, the other from nature taking it's course.

Their last thoughts were that they never felt like they belonged there anyway.

A shared moment.

Two men, sitting in the aftermath of a case.

One making tea in the kitchen, preparing to join in the tradition begun by his flatmate, colleague, friend.

The other, riding out the high from a well solved case with the traditional Chinese take-away, junk TV, best friend.

Simultaneously, one yells at the TV, the other rolls his eyes fondly.

Their last thoughts, before the crash of adrenaline caught up with them and they fell asleep where they sat, were that they finally had a place were they belonged.
