Break.

Ryan hated it. That feeling inside his chest now and then would make him feel like he was having a mini heart attack. He knew it was just an ache though. One of his former friends, Tyler, was taking him here in hopes of getting wasted and hopefully laid but that wasn't Ryan's style. But his friend Tyler was most likely to hit the jackpot like always and take a good man home for fun then be back here a week after.

Instead of being here he could be home or at his partners house working on that case but damn did he need a break. Ryan didn't care if it was just for tonight, he just wanted to rest his eyes or still his pain. So exactly why was Ryan feeling heartbroken? Easy, his current boyfriend dumped him for someone he knows very well. Someone who is a policeman and making lower than him but he knew money didn't settle-couldn't settle it.

Jonathan was known for his relationship with Evan though. Even he knew his friend was banging his boyfriend but he never said a word to anyone about it. When Tyler and everyone else found out it was pity. Smitty had managed to cuss out Jonathan over the whole thing but in the end it wasn't worth it for the assclown simply kissed Evan right in front of his partner and God did it tick his Canadian partner off. His phone buzzed and he checked it.

Smii7Y: Hey man I found nothing. We still have no lead but I'll stay up searching. You just enjoy tonight.

Ohmwrecker: Thanks man, I owe you one.

Smii7Y: No you don't man. I'll get back to you later.

Ryan looked up to see Tyler dancing with one of his friends from the office and couldn't help but smile faintly at that. It was no other than Craig. Sure Craig could be a party animal when he wanted too but he was by far very serious about his job and very rarely got drunk. Especially if he had something to do.

His gaze averted once he heard someone sit beside him and a certain smell surrounded him. It wasn't a bad smell but rather a sweet one that made him feel a little light headed. Ryan knew it from somewhere but couldn't lay a finger on it until the person beside him spoke, "Can I get a water?"

Ryan immediately jerked his head to the side and was met with the side of McQuaid's face. The blondes blue eyes seemed somewhat dazed and his figure slightly pale like he had seen a ghost. He couldn't help but stare. The sound of the shot glass hitting the table snapped him out of his trance as he looked away and began to play with his glass a little. "What're you doing here McQuaid?" His voice was rougher than it should've been due to the liquid he was drinking being strong.

He got no answer so his hazel eyes jerked to where the blonde sat to see he was staring at Ryan with wide eyes. "D-Detective-" Ryan chuckled light heartedly. "Damn McQuaid..I thought you came to sit with me because you realized who I was." Bryce immediately began to panic as his gaze jerked away from his hazel eyes and looked all around the room. "Hey Bryce..looking a little pale today. See a ghost?" Now Ryan was trying to get through the awkward air he had managed to create between them. Bryce sighed. "Unfortunately I saw Luke getting dressed."

Ryan glanced at the male to see a sour look on his face as he gave a shiver in disgust. "So nasty.." The blonde male looked down to his glass and Ryan went over that name. It seemed to familiar–almost like he's heard it before. "Hmp. You never answered my question." Bryce glanced at the male who was stirring his drink by moving the glass in circles. "Luke's friend Jonathan was wanting to hangout here so we came. Simple enough but I..I don't drink.."

Ryan's heart stung as he realized who Luke was now. That was Jonathan's best friend since childhood and he was the one who also spilled to Ryan about the cheating happening. Luke was drunker than hell when he spilled it so at first he thought he was lying but as it went on he finally opened his eyes and realized many things. "Oh.." It was all he could say as his eyes jerked around the room and finally spotted the group of friends sitting at a booth.

Tyler and Craig was with them laughing like idiots. In the middle of the group was officer Fong and his ex boyfriend Dennis. Beside Dennis was Luke and beside Fong was Tyler and Craig.

Ryan looked to Bryce who was frowning at his glass slightly. "They always leave you?" The question was bitter but he wanted to know if this happened a lot. Never once has he heard of Bryce from his ex boyfriend but he heard it once from Luke who was explaining his plans for some week of camping out. "Pretty much yeah. I never really fit in because I don't drink or anything they think is cool. I just kinda help them out when they need it.." God how that made Ryan feel bad for the blonde. Bryce could get drugged and kidnapped and they wouldn't know a thing.

"Wow..I can only imagine how you feel.."

Bryce chuckled a little as his gaze tore from the glass to meet Ryan's for a split second. "Yeah," the blonde looked away as he stared at the bottles. "I usally end up here in the same stool but you're sitting in it tonight." Ryan looked down and gave a small crackle as he tried keep from falling out.

"Hey Bryce it's about goddamn time tou found yourself a man. I wa-" Luke paused as his eyes locked with Ryan's. "Holy shit.."
