Title: When Coffee's Not Enough

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Dee, Ryo

Rating: G

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: The 27th's latest case is running everyone into the ground.

Disclaimer: I don't own FAKE, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Sanami Matoh.

Set: Sometime before Vol. 7

A/N: I decided I'd try using the weekly Torchwood drabble prompts for FAKE as well. The prompt used here is Caffeine.

A/N2: Thanks to everyone who read the first one, and a special Thank You to akiraoftrevon, for following a 'collection' that consisted of a single drabble at the time - that shows optimism! I hope I can make it worth following!

.

I love Janto: All I know of New York is from watching TV and reading FAKE, so if I screw anything up, let me know!

I'll have to see about crossovers, it'll depend on whether I can come up with any workable ideas. The queens of the FAKE/Torchwood crossover are, of course, Totally4Ryo and Gracie Musica, whose fic Slipping Through introduced me to FAKE in the first place. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude, I would probably have never read FAKE without that fic, and that would have been a tragedy!

Thank you!

"Man, I'm beat!" Dee shoved one hand through his hair, leaving it sticking up and tried to stifle a yawn. "I need more coffee. You want some?"

"I'm not sure even that would keep me awake," Ryo admitted, slumping across his desk in a most un-Ryo like manner. "The entire precinct is running on coffee fumes; we need to catch a break on this case, before we all keel over from exhaustion."

"Yeah. Look, why don't you get your head down for a bit, I'll wake you in an hour or two."

There was no response.

Ryo had fallen asleep.
