Mantineus-Sorry I didn't update this sooner. But I've been drafting and redrafting this chapter and I don't really like it still; but it gets it point across.

Suzaku sat at his desk, his face buried in his case file. He knew Lelouch was a part of this…But, what if he was forced? Rolo, from first impressions, seems to be demanding, cold, angry. Perhaps he orchestrated the crime and forced sweet, loveable Lelouch to kill.

He smiled. If he was proven right, he would save Lelouch from his little brother, and Lelouch would be so happy that…

"Kid!" His commissioner shouted, waking him from his daydream. He was looking longingly into Lelouch's picture's eyes. "He's seduced you, too, huh?"

"What?" Suzaku asked.

"They're incubi, Suzaku." His boss said, shaking his head. "Powerful ones, too. Especially that one." He pointed to the picture Suzaku was looking at a minute ago.

"He's…"

"What do you think happened to the guy you replaced?" His boss snapped. "He was ensnared by that demon. And he ended up dead, stashed, and raped!"

"Did they find the rapist?" Suzaku asked.

"Yeah, some freakin' necrophile!" Chief shouted. "Some nobody vulture found him, thought he was cute, and took him home. You know our necro-fuckers don't kill their bedmates; they take them from somebody else!"

"Could have been anybody." Suzaku stated.

"I know the cuts!" Chief exploded. "And so should you! You have the file!"

Chief sighed. "I'm gonna take you off this case."

"No, chief!" Suzaku shouted. Receiving a raised brow in reply. "Please, I've almost cracked this!"

"Last chance, Kururugi."

He stormed off, leaving the kid alone to his daydreaming.

The building was a ten story, red brick hell hole. The only thing to alert anyone of what it was, was a giant blue neon sign with "Police Station" somewhere in it. Rolo did not like to be there. But he needed to do this. For Lelouch.

Rolo toyed with his locket. It was always around his neck; for as far back as he could remember it was there. It was given to him by Lelouch on his first birthday(1). The white heart shaped locket with gold heart frame around a clover. If he opened it up, music would play, showing two pictures. One was of Lelouch and Rolo snuggling up together on a chair, napping, the other was of Lelouch smiling warmly out at his brother whenever he looked upon it.

Rolo clutched it. Secretly wishing that they never grew up. That he never went to that goddamned war. That he and Lelouch had died by their own hands instead of their retched family. And, most importantly, for happiness. Lelouch had deserved happiness, but received little or none. Rolo even doubted that he had made Lelouch happy recently. He was becoming harder and harder to read and that had made Rolo even more sad.

His quarry had just left the building.

Rolo had followed behind on the opposite side of the street. Making sure that he never saw him coming.

Rolo smiled. He remembered this Japanese guy he chased on foot after a major battle before he drove a Knightmare which were in short supply since they were new. The guy was watching the carnage and was on his way to tell his superiors that their comrades had fallen. He followed him towards an enemy base. After he discovered its location, he ran back and told his superiors. After the bloody battle and swift victory, he had been lifted up in good graces.

This was like that…The only difference was that he really was trying to get in his brother's good graces once more.

------ ------

Weeks before Rolo went out hunting, he noticed that Lelouch had went out more often than usual; which is normally just to school. So he followed. And he did not like what he saw.

------ ------

Suzaku was just about to walk into his apartment. But it happened too fast.

He felt something hard hit the back of his head and felt himself falling, ending with a thud on the ground. His vision was blurry. He did not see whom was dragging him before he blacked out.
