Author's notes: I am so sorry, I have been crazy busy recently, but today I managed to get some time so I wrote this chapter I hope you enjoy ;)

~Aster~

Aster's eyebrows furrowed as he looked down at the man before him, this was The Sandman, and he is shorter than Frost. This is the man who could send people into comas with a single punch, Aster examines the man again he has messy, blonde hair, and is wearing a yellow tracksuit, he had obviously been working out based on the sweat on his face, and the state of his clothes,

"Sandy, it's good to see you after such a long time!" The Sandman's face lit up with a smile and pulled Frost into a hug, but didn't say a word, when he final let go of Frost he slowly turned towards Aster, then back to Frost, he lifted his hands and formed several words in sign language to Frost.

"Yeah, I'm the new rookie Frost has to put up with." Aster translated the sign language with ease having grown up with his friends who were mute. Aster's teeth gritted together at the way Frost was talking about him to others, so what Frost's been on the job longer, it's not like he was holding him back. Aster narrowed his eyes at Frost who either missed or completely ignored the look because he didn't react at all. Frost lifted his hand and ran it through his hair causing Aster to unconsciously lick his lips before turning back to face Sandman who was looking between the two of them with one eyebrow raised,

Sandman lifted his hand signing a sentence to Frost that if Aster had a drink he might have done a spit take upon seeing, "Frost, is he your new boyfriend" Frost appeared to have the same reaction as Aster as, but instead of looking aghast like Aster, he burst out laughing,

"It wasn't that funny" Aster found himself grumbling to himself, quiet enough not to be heard by the other two men one of which was now trying to contain his laughter with great difficulty. Aster frowned at the words that escaped his mouth, what am I thinking Aster scratched the back of his head, and looked back at Frost, he started reaching out to tell Frost to get a hold of himself, but Frost straightened up before he could

"Aster is not my new boyfriend, thank you very much. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop trying to interfere with my love life," Frost's tone was joking, and to that Sandman smirked and shrugged his shoulder, which Frost only smirked back at still obviously still trying to contain his laughter, Aster's eyes focused on the scars on Sandman's neck and nervously swallowed as his mind wandered to what could have possibly cause that "so, what do you got for me Sandy?" Frost's voice became more serious and demanding; at those words all the playfulness between the two suddenly vanished.

"I'm sure you know Pitch is back in town; He contacted me a few days ago, so I contacted some of my old associates to find out why he's in town, and apparently he has an auction going down in a week or so. I didn't get the location of the auction but I did get a location of the warehouse the "items" are being held in." Aster struggled to keep up with the speed of which Sandman's hands where moving, but from what he gathered he knew he was going to be working late, through Sandman's stumble through of an explanation Frost simply nodded his brow furrowing ever so often, drawing Aster's eyes to the wisps of white hair shining from the light coming through the window as they feathered around Frost's face swaying each nod of his head,

"Thank you Sandy," Frost turned towards the door "come on Bunny, we have a warehouse to raid," the excitement in Frost's voice made Aster completely overlook Frost's annoying nickname for him, but Aster couldn't help but notice the nervous look in Frost's eyes that completely contradicted the smile on his face

"Okay Frost, lead the way," maybe today won't end in disaster.

~Jack~

Jack ran out to the car, getting in and closing the door he took a few deep breathes, "I'm not going to let him get to me" he whispered under his breath before starting the car just as Bunny sat down,

"So, what happened to his neck?" Jack looked over at Bunny who fidgeted nervously as he put his seatbelt on, obviously not sure if he could ask these types of questions

"I told you he wasn't as luck as me, he had tried to leave the gang shortly after me but Pitch decided to make him an example and cut out his vocal chords." Jack tried to keep his voice even, but on the inside he was a mess as memories of what happened rushed back to him; Sandy had been the only father figure in his life growing up, his father had left long before he was even born so when he got the call from the hospital about Sandy he all but fell apart.

"Oh…" Bunny's short answer showed all the terror he felt for the case they were working, Jack started the car and took off down the street towards an even scarier part of town,

"Don't worry Bunny I told you I won't let you die, and I take my promises seriously." Bunny shrugged his indifference, and Jack put his focus back on the road, the nervousness was coming off Bunny in waves, "Why don't you ask me a question, if we are going to be partners we might as well know one another." Bunny looked over at Jack like he was crazy, but shortly after opened his mouth again.

"Who else… I mean at the precinct, has ties to Pitch?" Jack froze on that one unsure how to answer, out of the questions he could ask that's the one he chooses Jack lets out a sigh before continuing,

"Tooth, and North, they are the only other ones… North is only connected because he spent time undercover within Pitch's organization, and Tooth… well she is related to him." Jack waited for that information to sink in knowing Bunny wasn't going to take the second tidbit of information well.

"…Wait she's related to pitch, are we talking about the same bundle of energy with the bright hair and spring her step you were talking to back at the precinct? Can she be trusted I mean she's related to him she might be helping him!" Bunny continued to rant on and on and Jack patiently waits only getting ticked off at the doubt Bunny had in one of his fellow cops.

"Bunny, Tooth is the most dependable cop in the work force, she's the reason Pitch went underground because she got so close to catching him. You should have seen how devastated she was when she found out he had gone underground. She wants him in jail more than any of us." Bunny's cheeks turned red embarrassed by his lack of trust in his fellow coworker. "Well… looks like you'll have to wait before you get another chance to ask questions, because we are here." Jack pulled into a spot and took the keys out of the ignition, he exited the car without another word and headed towards the warehouse, his stomach turned with unease the warehouse was unguarded, from what he could see, and no matter what business you are into in this neighbourhood you don't leave your stuff unguarded, he took out his phone and sent off a couple messages for backup before stepping into the warehouse, he could hear Bunny behind him, though the man was obviously scared he didn't let it show as he walked through the warehouse, several crate were boarded up with small holes in them.

"Help… me" a weak voice escaped one of the nearby crates, Jack reached for his phone when a voice sounded behind him sending chills up his back like razor blades.

"Hello Jack," Jack turned around to face a man in a black trench coat, his hands holding a gun to Bunny's back. Sheer panic shot through him, but he tried to keep his calm.

"Pitch"
