Heaven Needed an Angel

Chapter Two

The Call

By Seiji_D

~**~**~**~**~**~

�Ryo....� A voice, groggy with sleep, called out as the phone began to ring. In a futile attempt to drown out the annoying sound, Dee ducked his head under his pillow. �Come on and answer that will ya?� Dee moaned before he realized that the other sound he heard was that of the shower running, which meant Ryo couldn�t answer the phone even if he wanted to. That meant he would have to answer it, whether he liked it or not.

Growling as he reached blindly for the offending device, Dee found himself cursing loudly when it suddenly stopped ringing just as his fingers touched the receiver. �Now �that� really pisses me off!� Grumbling, Dee pulled the blankets up over his head and tried to get comfortable once again. If Ryo was in the shower, considering the older man always got up a half hour before he had to, Dee figured that he had at least another solid hour of sleep left before he too would have to get up.

�Damn these long hours and double shifts! They totally suck!� He hissed and then sighed just as the phone began ringing again. This time though, he managed to reach it before it could stop. Of course he wasn�t sure if he was thrilled or irritated over that accomplishment.

�Yo, Latener here!� He snapped into the receiver. �This had better be an emergency or I�m going to get just a little angry here.� The tone of Dee�s voice left little doubt in the caller�s mind that the detective was very serious about his statement.

~**~**~**~**~**~

�Dee, was that the phone I had heard ringing earlier?� Ryo asked as he emerged from the bathroom that adjoined their master bedroom. �Dee, was that the phone?� He asked again as he headed into the large walk-in closet to grab his clothes. When he got no response, Ryo stepped out of the closet to glance at his lover and finally saw that Dee was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking very pale.

�Dee, what�s wrong?� Ryo dropped the towel he had around his waist before pulling on a pair of boxer-briefs though his eyes remained fixed on his lover. Dee still hadn�t said a word, though he was clutching the phone tightly and staring down at it. It was obvious by the sound coming from the phone that call had ended some time ago, yet Dee had not hung it up. �Dee, what happened?� Concerned now, Ryo quickly made his way to his lover�s side. Reaching down, he attempted to pull the phone from Dee�s hand, which finally got the dark brunette�s attention.

�Ryo... I-I....� Dee managed to get out before his throat went dry. When Dee tilted his head up, Ryo noticed that tears had settled into his lover�s green eyes. �I need... I need to go to the hospital.�

�Huh? Why?� Ryo asked. The words were said so quietly that Ryo was having a hard time understanding Dee. �Dee, I can�t understand what you�re saying. What happened? Who was that on the phone?� Dee suddenly gasped and stood up so quickly that he nearly knocked Ryo onto the floor.

�I need to go to the hospital!� The younger detective replied and started to search for something to wear. �Dammit, where are my clothes!� He cursed even louder when he stubbed his toe on the leg of the chair as he scrambled to find something to wear.

�Dee, calm down and tell me what�s going on?� Ryo got up and quickly grabbed Dee�s wrist in order to gain Dee�s attention. He had never seen his partner so frazzled as he was now and it was starting to worry him. �Talk to me, dammit!�

�Let go of me!� Dee yanked on his arm.

�I will after you tell me why you need to go to the hospital!� Ryo held his ground, gripping his lover�s wrist even tighter. �Who�s hurt? Hell, who was on the phone? Dee, I don�t know what�s going on! You need to tell me!�

�I... She... The Penguin... I need to... Let go of me!� Dee glared at the chestnut-haired man.

�You mean Mother Lane?� Ryo blinked in confusion. �What happened to Mother? Dee, you�re making no sense. Please settle down and tell me what happened.�

�S-She�s in the hospital. S-Some one... Someone jumped her two blocks from the orphanage. Let me go! I need to go to her now!� Dee finally pulled his arm free and started searching for some clothes to wear. He was running on pure adrenaline and little else.

�Good lord! How bad?� Ryo stood there as a chill ran down the length of his spine. He knew how important the nun was to Dee and now understood why his lover was so out of it.

�She�s... She�s in bad shape.... Oh god... Oh god!� Dee covered his mouth and Ryo thought for sure that his partner was about to get sick.

�Dee, just try to calm down. You�re about to lose it.� Ryo softened his voice as he moved closer to Dee, but froze in his place when the other man backed away.

�I have to go... I have to go to her.� Dee�s hands were shaking as his eyes darted wildly around the room. �She needs me... I have to go....�

�Dee, please settle down.� Ryo was shaking as well though he knew he had to stay in control for Dee�s sake. �I�ll drive you over there, okay? Go get a shower while I put a call into work to let them know what�s up. Maybe I can get some info from the police reports as well.� Ryo tried desperately to take control of the situation and hopefully get his lover calmed down.

�I can drive myself! I�m not a baby!� Dee shouted as he grabbed some clothes, fully intent on skipping the shower just to save on time. �I�m wasting time here already.�

�Listen to me, Dee!� Ryo raised his voice in order to snap his lover out of his daze. �You are in no shape to drive. I�ll drive, but first go grab a shower and clear your head!�

�I said I could handle this, Ryo!� Dee replied back before he started to get dressed.

�I doubt that. You�re nearly hysterical, as it is Dee. Please go grab a damn shower and calm the hell down! You won�t do Mother any good as long as you�re like this! Please listen to me.� Ryo stopped Dee from getting dressed and forced the darker brunette to look at him. �Will you just stop and take a look at yourself for a minute? Dee, you�re not thinking straight right now, you�re bordering on hysterical and unless you calm down you�ll lose it altogether. Like I said, I�ll call work and then I�ll call the hospital. I�ll try to get an update on Mother Lane�s condition. In the meantime, you go get a shower and try to settle yourself down.� When Dee looked away, Ryo took Dee by the shoulders and forced his lover to look at him. �Please? Do it for her, not me.�

Dee nodded though he wasn�t too happy with his lover at the moment. As he headed for the bathroom, Dee turned and glared at the older detective. �Fine, we�ll do things your way for now! But I�m warning you, Ryo... If she dies before we get there, I will �never� forgive you!� Dee hissed at his lover before walking into the bathroom and slamming the door behind him.

Ryo could only stand there, stunned by his lover�s remark. It was at that moment that Ryo started to realize just how serious the situation really was and just how bad off Mother Lane had to be.

�Please, for Dee�s sake, let her be okay. Don�t hurt him... Please don�t hurt him.�

~**~**~**~**~**~

Stepping off the elevators, the two men headed down the hallway to ICU where Ryo caught sight of Ted and Marty coming out of the waiting room. Turning to his lover, Ryo laid his hand on the younger man�s arm. �Dee, why don�t you go check on Mother Lane�s status and I�ll join you in a few, okay?�

�O-Okay....� Dee replied. He was still in shock despite everything Ryo had tried to do to ease his lover�s troubled mind. Ryo was just thankful that Dee had agreed to his current suggestion since Ryo needed to speak with Ted and Marty alone and he didn�t want Dee hearing any of it.

�She�ll be all right, Dee. Just try to hang in there.� Ryo gave Dee�s arm a gentle squeeze though what he really wanted to do was to hold his lover and comfort him. �I�ll join you just as soon as I am finished, alright?� Dee nodded and Ryo watched as his partner headed into the waiting room.

Once Ryo was sure that Dee was safely inside the room and out of earshot, he headed further down the hall where his two colleagues now stood as they jotted notes down in their books.

�Ted, Marty, what�s the latest?� Ryo asked as he approached the two men. Ryo had already gotten a preliminary report on what had gone down but he wanted to get more details if there were any.

�Hey Ryo.� Ted looked up and then frowned. �There�s no change in her condition as of ten minutes ago if that�s what you�re asking.� The redhead replied and then sighed. �How�s Dee?�

�He�s a mess, which is to be expected. This is Mother Lane we�re talking about and she�s as close to a real mother as Dee�s ever had. He adores her immensely so naturally he�s going to lose it to some degree though with Dee it�s never as simple as that. There�s no middle ground with him when it comes to people he cares about. He�s either very docile or in total shock when something does occur.� Ryo leaned against the wall, looking emotionally drained as the other two nodded in agreement. �Dee was nearly hysterical when we got the news, though I did manage to calm him down a little. I�m still worried about him anyway. He could lose it again at any given moment.�

�Well, I just hope that he doesn�t go after the person who did this, like he did that last time.� Ted looked at Ryo. �I remember you and Drake talking about that last incident and how Dee went ballistic on the dude who had bombed the orphanage and hurt the nun.�

�Trust me, I�m well aware of that situation and the fact that it could happen again.� Ryo reached up and touched his cheek. There was still a faint scar there from the time when Dee had fired his gun at the suspect in that case only to graze Ryo�s cheek with the bullet. �I�ll make sure that Dee stays in control this time. I�m not sure how I�ll do it, but I have to try none the less.�

�Good luck, man.� Ted sighed heavily and then looked down at his notepad causing him to shake his head as he read over his notes. �Jesus Ryo, who the hell would do this to an elderly woman and a nun at that?�

Ted looked down at his notepad and read off what he knew thus far, knowing Ryo would want to know. �Mother Lane had gone to drop off a bag of clothes to a family who had been burned out of their home and it was when she was heading back to the orphanage that she was attacked. The suspect pulled her into an alleyway, assaulted and beat her then stabbed her before leaving here there for dead. You already know about her injuries so I won�t repeat them. It�s hard enough hearing them just once. It�s a miracle that someone had decided to take a short cut through the alleyway and found her. According to the first officer on the scene, the person who called it in stayed with her and tried to keep her as comfortable as possible.�

�That�s good to know. At least there are still some good people out there yet.� Ryo sighed.

�Shit, talk about your sick and twisted bastards though! This dude goes well beyond that description.� Marty spoke up and then shook his head as well. �I mean, it�s hard enough dealing with rape crimes as it were, but when it�s done against someone like her.... It�s just so wrong. So very wrong.�

�I agree Marty.� Ryo looked at the larger and taller man who didn�t seem so tough at the moment. It was obvious that this had affected him a great deal. �My guess is that whomever did this is someone who finds it arousing to desecrate and taint someone they most likely see as being pure. Judging by what I�ve been told concerning the trace evidence found on her and her injuries, he obviously had a great deal of rage in him.� Ryo shuddered over the whole thought. �It makes me wonder if our suspect may have been traumatized by someone he saw as pure at one time, possibly someone from the religious sect or someone he saw as holy and now he�s lashing out over what may have happened to him.�

�Do you think he may strike again? Maybe whenever his inner rage gets the better of him?� Ted blanched at the thought of having more cases like this one, especially when Ryo nodded. �We could possibly be looking at a serial rapist then.�

�I�m not sure but most rapists continue until they either find no need to rape or get caught.� Ryo shook his head. �I get this feeling that this just wasn�t a once and done thing though. Do me a favor and run all of this by the city�s profiler, okay? I�m curious to see what she will have to say about this. You may also want to check with the Sex Crimes Unit and see if they have any cases similar to this one either ongoing or past cases that have gone cold. You may also want to look into prior victims of a Sex Crime involving religious figures.�

�Sounds like a good idea though that�s a lot of ground to cover. Marty and I will check into it when we get back to the precinct. We may have to get more help on this too. I�ll see if we can work with someone from the Sex Crimes Unit on this.� Ted jotted down a few notes and then looked up at Ryo. �I meant to ask you this earlier. How much does Dee know about what happened?�

�He knows just the basics and for now I�d like to keep it that way.� Ryo lowered his voice when he caught sight of Dee and a priest heading toward Mother Lane�s room. �I have already spoken with her doctor and have asked him to keep certain information away from Dee for the time being. I realize that he�ll have to be told eventually, but right now and given his current state of mind, I don�t think he would be able to handle knowing that she was raped.�

�I agree. It�s going to be rough on you just keeping him from going berserk if she doesn�t make it.� Marty sighed heavily. Ryo nodded, knowing that the larger detective was right. �I guess that for now we have to hope that she�s strong enough to pull through this. Last time we checked they had her listed as being in grave condition and weren�t very optimistic on her recovering from her injuries.�

�I know. The doctor I spoke with this morning said that she�s got some bleeding in her brain, which has them very concerned about. Even though she�s been a good health, her age is still a factor, which is why they are waiting until she�s more stable before taking her into surgery.� Ryo closed his eyes as he tried to keep his emotions from breaking free. Right now he couldn�t afford to lose it, not when Dee needed him to be the stronger one of the two.

�Listen, I may not be all that religious even if I do break down and go to church every once in a while, but I�ll be praying for her recovery... and for Dee as well.� Ted saw that Ryo was fighting to hold it together and so he tried in his own way to help ease his friend�s sorrow. �She seems like a very strong woman, Ryo. She�s got that, you two and her faith on her side, so try to hang in there, alright?�

�I will, thanks Ted.� Opening his eyes, Ryo pushed himself away from the wall. �Keep me posted on the investigation will ya? In the meantime, I�m going to go check in on Dee and Mother Lane. Hopefully, we�ll get some good news soon.�

�Will do Ryo.� Marty clapped the chestnut haired man on the back. �Before you go though I wanted to ask you about the case you, Dee, JJ and Drake are working on. How�s it going? I heard there might be a break in it so I was curious for an update.�

�It�s moving forward. I just spoke with JJ this morning and someone phoned in a tip during the night that someone matching our suspect�s basic description was seen leaving a storage shed facility last night. JJ and Drake heading over there now to check on it. Without any probable cause they�ll most likely need a warrant to get the shed opened though. If that�s the case then it may not be until tonight before we know if there�s anything there we can use or that could lead us to this jerk.� Ryo explained as he tried to recall his conversation with the shorter detective, considering how chaotic the morning had been. �They said they�d call if they found out anything substantial so it�s a way and see thing for now.�

�Well hey, good luck with it.� Ted gave Ryo a weak smile. �You and Dee just worry about yourselves and Mother Lane for now, okay? Marty and I can step in to assist Drake and JJ if they should need it.�

�Thanks guys, I appreciate it.� Ryo smiled back and then glanced over at the room that Dee had disappeared into. �I�ll check in later on but in the meantime call me if something comes up and you need help.�

�Will do. Now stop worrying about everything else and go see your partner. We�ll get to work on getting this jerk so he can�t do this again.� Marty remarked and Ted nodded in agreement.

�All right then. I�ll see you two later. Good luck.� Ryo nodded to the two men before he headed toward Mother Lane�s room. He stopped just outside the door in order to take a few deep breaths and ready himself for whatever lay within. He know that the next few hours would be hell on them all and just hoped that Dee would be strong enough able to handle whatever may come their way.

�If he�s not strong enough then we may have a major problem on our hands. Dee loves her so much and she has always been his rock. If he loses her he may not be able to handle it. She has to live, for his sake.�
