Thank you to TheFinalElements for that comment about the blood type thing. Sorry for that again.

Also I realised that in the last chapter I used Oak instead of Okido for Green's last name. I'll change that back to Okido as soon as I can

I do not own pokemon.

Although Gold was supposed to set an example for his juniors, now officers -you had to admit. The ceremony was boring.

Gold was trying so hard not to fall asleep, he really did, he even made sure to drink some energy drinks to keep him awake, but not even eight cans of those could withstand the boredom of the ceremony.

"... As we congratulate this group of trainees and welcome them to the force as rookies, we would..."

Damn it this was boring. The golden eye male looked around the crowd of soon-to-be rookies, some looked excited, others looked nervous one had the same expression as Gold.

Sapphire was slouching in her chair, counting the buttons in be uniform, she wanted the ceremony to be over. She had been sitting in the chair for half an hour listening to some boring guy in a moustache going on, and on about the honour of becoming the next batch of rookies. Usually, the brunette would have jumped up in outrage and tell the speaker to hurry up, but she made a promise that she would not cause a scene.

'Stupid Sissy Boy.' she thought as the image of her fiancé came up in her mind. He, along with his and her parents were at the same hall as she was to watch the ceremony. She scanned around the room trying to look for the familiar ruby eyes she instead found a pair of golden eyes, that belong to her good friend and senior: Gold.

The two looked at each other, communicating with their eyes, having some sort of argument.

Gold: Lets spice things up; he's giving me a headache.

Sapphire: I can't promise Sissy boy I wouldn't do anything to interrupt the ceremony.

Gold: Are you serious? You're listening to Sissy Boy? Are you ok Wild Child?

Sapphire: He's getting' me steak later it's for the food.

Gold: Can I join?

Sapphire: ….Sure.

Gold sat up, having a new motivation to sit through the boring ceremony, and not messing it up.

Red rubbed his temple, he was having a very stressful day he had reports that were due which would have been fine but the amount had doubled considering that Blue wasn't at work, he had to run to the lab to get the results of the possible fingerprints that was on the picture frame, and he still had to visit Green at the hospital in which Red would have to ask Green a bunch of questions of what he remembered in order to move the investigation forward. Guess that date that he and Yellow were planning was going to be pushed back.

Despite all the work that Red had to do he didn't feel occupied. His mind seemed to be empty and he wasn't concentrating as much as he usually was in most days. Must be the shock of what happened to Green.

Red knew Green and Blue, pretty much all his life. So he felt bad for both of them, more than anyone else who knew them. Green, his best friend and rival could have died. Blue, worried over the fact that her fiancé was in the hospital, was close to death and knowing the possibility that it could happen again. And Red didn't want that to happen, he didn't want to be stuck in his office today, writing reports. He wanted to be outside and in on the action, to find out whom the person was that tried to hurt his friends.

Red stood up and grabbed his coat. I could always work on the reports tonight. He reasoned. Pushing his way through the office hallways, not bothering to apologise to anyone he bumped into, Red needed to get out quick. He jumped into his car, and started the engine. First stop the hospital. Red Takeshi knew that this was going to be a long day.

The inside of the car was silent, the only thing that could be heard was the engine of the cars in the road that came from outside, even with the windows rolled up. Red didn't bother turning on the radio as he figured that they probably were reporting about what happened to Green Okido yesterday. It wasn't a surprise really, after all, he was the grandson of Samuel Okido a very well know, and well liked Professor in the science field, especially in biology. And the last thing that Red needed to hear was the details of his friend's attack read of paper by someone who probably didn't give a damn.

He clenched his teeth and tightened his grip on the steering wheel, at the thought. He pressed down on the gas pedal harder, and the car sped off.

When Red arrived at the hospital he immediately made his way over to Green's room. He immediately stops when he sees his girlfriend, Blue and Crystal who is a good friend of Green's. The raven haired man just stood there for a minute or so, trying to think of a way to invite himself to the conversation, but he was also trying to listen to see what they were talking about. Red didn't want the girls to make up some lie about what they were discussing; he didn't want to risk another attack.

"He doesn't have a lot of enemies,"

"But is he associated with anyone that could have people after them, and were just targeting Green for revenge?" He recognized Crystal's voice.

"No, Green isn't that type of person to associate himself with those types of people." That was Blue.

So they were talking about who the suspect could be. Red thought. Not surprised, that's what you normally think off is someone tried to hurt whoever was close to you.

Red continued to stand there, this time he was actually thinking of what to say to join in the conversation.

But he didn't need to, Yellow had noticed that her boyfriend was just standing there, and greeted him in surprise.

"Ah! R-red! Wh-what are you doing here?" even after years of dating there were still some moments where Yellow would act completely shy towards her partner. Crystal and Blue turned once the blonde had said those words. The brunette raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms over her chest once she saw him.

"You're supposed to be filling reports right now." Blue said with a nagging tone. Red, surprised by her unusual response, just waved a hand.

"Couldn't think, besides I have time to do them tonight." He said casually, walking over to Yellow and swinging his arm around her shoulders. The stress must really be getting to her, Red thought. She's never nagged me to finish reports before. "So, you were trying to figure out who did this to Green?" He said.

The three females nodded. "We're stuck on leads though." Crystal said. "Green isn't someone who tends to be around a lot of people."

It was going to be difficult on trying to find the suspect as Green Okido, unlike his fiancée and Red who were extroverts, was an introvert just like Yellow. The closest they have ever seen Green at any social event was when he did a guest talk in Yellow's university, talking about the major innovations of science that was currently taking place, and his work as a pathologist . Red rubbed his slightly stubble chin. This was going to be harder than he thought.

"ONE MORE ORDER OF STEAK PLEASE!" Gold and Sapphire yelled out, mouths stuffed with grilled meat. Ruby covered his face with the palm of his hand and sunk down his seat in embarrassment as the other customers at the restaurant stared at the trio's table.

The ceremony had ended and Sapphire was assigned under her good old friend, and senior; Gold. As promised, Ruby took Sapphire out to eat her favourite piece of meat if she didn't cause any trouble, with Gold tagging along with the engaged couple.

"This is so barbaric.." Ruby muttered to himself as he watched Sapphire and Gold stuff their face, making sloppy chewing sounds all the while. He shifted his seat further away from them to prevent any flying food landing on his clothes. "You can eat slower you know," he told the two as he began to sip on his tea. Watching the two officers eat like a starving pack of wolves had made him lose his appetite.

Gold held out a partially eaten piece of steak towards the ruby-eyed male. "Wanna try?" Ruby watched as the grease of the meat fell onto the table, and some dripping down onto Gold's hand, mixing with the other greases of meats that he had been eating. Ruby shuddered.

"No thanks, I'm not that hungry." He replied. Gold shrugged, and bit into the rib.

"Suit yourself."

"Oooh!" Sapphire yelled out and began to jump up and down her seat; she had spotted their server walking over to their table with the other order of steaks. Ruby looked down at their table only to see piles and piles of empty plates, he knew that it was just the beginning. It's a good thing that his dad had given him his card to pay for Sapphire's post-ceremony dinner.

Blue sighed for the hundredth time. She turned her attention to the clock which read: 5:00 PM they had been in the hospital for almost eight hours, waiting for Green to wake up. The four had decided to wait and talk to Green to find out who the suspect might be; they decided it would be easier to talk to Green just in case he remembered something. Crystal had gone down to get some food for them, leaving her with Red and Yellow who were currently talking quietly to each other. Usually Blue would be teasing the couple if the situation was different.

Crystal came into field of sight of the brunette carrying bags of food. "I'm back," she said. The three began to make their way toward her to receive their food.

"Thanks Crystal," Red said. He took out his wallet while Yellow grabbed both of their food. "How much do Yellow and I owe you?"

"Nothing. It's on me this time." Crystal replied, waving off Red. The bluentte took the container that contained Blue's order and handed it over to her. "Here," she said.

Blue thanked Crystal and opened the container, and immediately started to eat her meal. Although she had just spent most of her day in the hospital waiting for the chance to see her fiancé, she was worn out.

The four ate in silence, too busy to say anything with food inside their mouths, but the silence was broken when they heard a cough. The brunette looked up from her meal, and turned to the Red, Yellow, and Crystal. The four just looked at each other in confusion, realising that neither of them had cough they immediately turned their attention to Green, who was currently groaning after he tried to move his body.

Blue made her way to Green. "How are you feeling?" she asked. Green groaned.

"Like shit."

"We're glad you're ok, Green." Yellow said in relief. Crystal placed down her food.

"I'll inform the doctor that you're awake right now," the bluenette said and walked out of the room.

Red walked over to Green. "Do you remember anything that happened that day?" Red asked Green, hopefully Green's memory could give them a lead on the suspect.

Green rubbed the sides of his head, groaning. "Yes, when I was home…..g-getting some papers," he explained. "I don't know how, but he was able to get in….without me noticing. I couldn't get a good look at his face, it…it happened so fast..and he was..all covered up."

Blue groaned in frustration. "Great! So we have absolutely NO LEAD on who did this to you! And since you were on the radio, he might try to kill you again. And who know when that will happen and how we can prevent it since we have no idea what he looks like!"

"Calm down, Pesky woman." Green told her. "He most likely won't attack now since the hospital has security cameras, and he doesn't even know which hospital or room I'm in. In addition to that, why would he attack now while the news is still recent, and everyone is on the lookout?"

Blue sighed in defeat. "Your right…again." She whispered the last word to herself. "I'm just worried that's all."

"Don't be." Green replied. "Now, I hope you don't mind, but I need to speak with this idiot." He pointed at Red. "Privately…important uh, guy stuff."

Blue was about to retort when Yellow- respecting Green's wishes even if it was kind of suspicious, grabbed Blue's arm and walked out of the room. "We'll get you some food from the cafeteria." Yellow told him as they walked out.

Red laughed. "'Important guy stuff'? Green you being shot has affected you in more ways than I thought."

Green glared at the raven haired male. "Shut it." He replied. "Listen, there is something else I remembered. After he shot me, the man walked over to where I place my pictures. He said "one down three more to go." Im guessing that he-"

"-looked at the picture with all four of us in it." Red finished. "Im guessing, when Yellow and I went to investigate, that one frame was out of place."

"Most likely he's going for you guys next, which is another reason why I think he won't attack me now. You guys are a much easier target with my situation. So look out for yourself, Yellow and Blue."
