Author's note: sorry for being so late with an update I have had serious writers block,

~Jack~

"So what exactly is this case we are working on? Where are we going?" each time Aster asked a question Jack would simply ignore him as they rode down the elevator, electricity was running between them causing Jack's hair to stand on end, Bunny's naturally husky voice, plus the closed, confined space was not good for his heart, Aster opens his voice obviously about to ask another question when the door opens, Jack quickly steps out into the garage ending the charge between them,

"Come on, Bunny. I said I would explain in the car" Jack hears Bunny sigh with irritation behind him, but Bunny quickly falls into line behind him; their footsteps echo through the garage in unison making it sound like only one person was there instead of two, Jack falters with his step on purpose trying to end the eerie feeling it gives him. Jack walks up to a blue Honda Civic, and slides into the driver seat, he sees Bunny look curiously at the car before sliding in.

"This doesn't look like a cop car," Jack smiles as he start the car, the purr of the engine giving him comfort,

"It's not, I don't use the company cars unless I have to, plus where we are going now is not a place you should be showing up to in a cop car." Jack looks over at Bunny and sees him visibly swallow, "Calm down bunny, I won't let you get hurt." Jack sees Bunny look over at him in annoyance, which only pushes Jack to go further. "What are you that scared?"

"I'm not scared of anything mate," Bunny's accent grew heavier in his accent causing Jack to miss some of the words he said, Jack smirked, before grabbing a file he had placed in his lap and tossing it onto Bunny's,

"That's our case," Jack waited for Bunny's reaction as he opened the file, as Bunny read further his eyes grew wider and wider.

"We're looking into human trafficking!" Jack nods calmly and motions for Bunny to continue reading, Bunny's eyes progress down the page, and suddenly freeze on a single paragraph "Pitch Black…" the mumble was almost too quiet to be heard. Pitch black was the nickname the media had given to a monster that would break into houses and kidnap people for his human trafficking ring, "Are you saying he's here, in the city"

"Yes," Jack answered quietly, Bunny's face twisted into confusion

"I don't recall hearing about any kidnappings on the news, so how do you know." Aster's eyes narrowed in suspicion,

"I know because, before Pitch Black was into the business he's in now he was in drug trafficking and I was his right hand man."

~Aster~

"You were his what!" Aster looked at Frost with disbelief than narrowed in anger "You didn't answer my question, how do you know he's in town," Aster fought to keep his voice level, Frost glanced over at Aster clearly nervous at his partners response

"He called me asking to join him, and…" Frost starts to explain, but is cut off by Aster

"Does the precinct know? You could get your badge taken away!" Aster lost his ability to stay calm yelling out his thought at Frost beside him, but instead of shrinking away from Aster like he had before Frost face twists into a scowl of annoyance

"Who do you think I am, of course the captain at the precinct, he's the reason I got out of that life in the first place he even helped me get into the academy, why would I give all that up for Pitch's offer. Not to mention Pitch hates me, so his offer is definitely a trap" Aster nods as he rolls their conversation around in his head,

"Okay, so where are we going?" Frost's body visibly relaxes at the change of subject; he changed lanes and turned into a shady neighbourhood before replying

"We are going to meet with an old friend of mine who wasn't as lucky as I was when he wanted to leave Pitch's gang. He's called The Sandman" Aster looks over at Frost, and saw sadness in his eyes.

"Why is he called The Sandman?" Frost's smirk crosses his face again, as he took another turn causing heat to spread through Aster's body,

"He is known for putting people into comas when he fights them with a single punch" Aster felt a shiver go up his spine as he thought of how this guy must look. The car came to a stop in front a bungalow that was a little worse for wear, but the grass was green and garden taken care of, Frost removed the keys from the ignition, and turned to Aster

"We're here"
