A/N: Quadruple drabble.
A cop’s job was to protect and serve; it was what everyone who wore the uniform pledged to do when they graduated from the police academy. Help anyone who needed assistance, protect the innocent, protect their colleagues, protect their partners… It sounded simple, but it seldom was.
Dee didn’t know where his partner was, couldn’t see him, couldn’t raise him over his police radio. They’d gotten separated while chasing brothers suspected of several; recent liquor store holdups, and while they should have stuck together, when the brothers had split up, Ryo had gone after one while Dee had kept after the other.
He’d lost the guy when a truck had gotten in the way at a junction; by the time he’d managed to get past it, the fugitive was out of sight, and while Dee hadn’t given up immediately, there’d been no way of knowing which way he’d gone. That was when he’d tried to contact his partner, his heart sinking when there was no reply.
“Should’ve stayed with him and watched his back,” Dee berated himself, heading back the way he’d come. “I’m supposed to keep him safe.” He’d done a goddamned lousy job of protecting the man he loved. Breaking into a run again, he radioed dispatch to see if they could contact his partner; maybe it was a reception issue, something blocking the signal. The officer on duty tried, but she couldn’t get an answer either.
Returning to where the chase had started, Dee headed in the direction his partner had taken, glancing down every alleyway and cross street, expecting each time to see his partner lying there injured, or dead. Ryo could be anywhere!
Racing around another corner, he almost passed out from sheer relief when he saw his partner trudging back along the sidewalk, propelling his handcuffed captive ahead of him. Ryo smiled when he saw Dee.
“Hey, you okay? I tried to reach you but something’s up with my radio, I think it’s dead.”
‘Rather it than you,’ Dee thought, smiling tightly. “You had better luck than me. I lost mine. Truck blocked my view and by the time I got around it…” He shrugged.
“We’ll get him, I’m sure our friend here has some idea where to find his brother, maybe a pre-arranged meeting place. Let’s get him back to the precinct for questioning.”
“Yeah, we gotta get your radio fixed as well.”
