Jean wiped the sweat of his brow as he placed the hammer on the grass next to him.
Lately, the idea of having a kid had given him some much energy, he decided to build a crib for his son instead of buying one. He'd been out in the yard for the past few days working on it.
It was made of dark mahogany wood and had suns and moons etched along the ridge.
He grinned to himself at a job well done.
Noticing the time, he decided to leave it till after dinner to show Riza.
He brushed off the sawdust from his trousers and was about to head inside to wash up a bit, when Denny stumbled slightly into the backyard carrying a load of wood in his arms.
"What's that for?"Jean asks his blond friend as he drops it on the grass.
"Yoki's new home."Denny grins"Got a load more in the cab, wanna give me a hand?"He started walking back to his car.
"Sure."Jean grinned at the idea.
15 minutes later they were both laying on the grass next to a rather large pile of wood.
"Maybe i got a bit too much."Denny chuckles, breathing slightly heavy.= from all the labour.
"Ya think?"Jean laughs with him.
"So that's the crib?"Denny waves a hand in the general direction of Jean's project.
"Yup."He grins broadly" I just hope that Riza likes it."
"Trust me, it's pretty cool. She'll love it, 'specially cos you made it yourself."Denny reassures him as he makes an effort to sit up.
It took him 3 tries.
Eventually they both made it into the kitchen and now sat at the table drinking a cold beer in silence.

Now getting a familiar scent, Bandit barked happily. She ran into the kitchen and began to pant excitedly when she saw Denny and Havoc. The small dog instantly ran over to Havoc and began to playfully nip at his heels.

"Woah!"Jean stood up in shook almost spilling his beer.
Denny laughed, causing Jean to cast his a glare.
"Miss me?"Jean grins picking up the pup and scratching behind her ear.
"You know, i reckon the dogs have better manners than some people here."Denny refers to Yoki, taking a swig from his beer.
Jean just shakes his head with a grin.
"Let's see if we can find Black Hayate."He looks at Bandit before placing her on the ground."Scar's gonna be back from work soon.Tell him i bought him those herbs he'd asked for if ya see him." Denny nods as Jean leaves.

Bandit began barking insanely at the mention of Hayate's name. She instantly made her way towards the stairs. However, she ran into the living room to grab the bra that Yoki had been snogging. With the undergarment in her mouth, the pup made her way up the stairs to look for her companian.

Jean sweat dropped as the dog ran out the living room with underwear in her mouth.
"They better not be Riza's, cos that'll mean she's been hiding the good stuff."He mutters to himself as he walks after the dog.

Upstairs, Bandit was crawling inside of a clothes hamper. However, once she got inside, she began to bark. The thing was deeper on the inside than it looked on the outside.

Having reached the landing, Jean frowned, having lost sight of Bandit.
"Where.."He stopped hearing dog barks coming from a clothes hamper.
"Seriously?"He looks down at the dog, shaking his head.
He pulls her out and decides to just hold her before she gets herself into more trouble.
"I suppose Black Hayate's with Riza?"He asks the dog, not really expecting an answer.
He headed towards her dorm, walking past Martel's.

Bandit barked in response, her tail wagging wildly. The dog squirmed slightly. This didn't last long; The pup quickly decided to just pant excitedly in Havoc's arms.

(Damn. Okay, just remember to come back on soon)
Noticing how pissed off Greed looked, Martel tried to calm him down. "Hey, don't worry about it" she began, shrugging slightly. "I got some medicine for him, and he should be okay.Trust me, if I didn't think he'd be okay, I'd tell you to rip that bitch to shreds". Suddenly she remembered something. "Ah, shit" Martel muttered, covering her eyes. "I gotta call Rachel". She then went out the door and headed downstairs. As she went into the kitchen, she passed Dante in the living room. When she saw what was on the TV, she was a little surprised. 'I didn't know Dante was a fan of CSI' she thought, but shrugged it off as nothing important.
Martel picked up the phone and dialed the Styx. "Hey, Rachel? Who is this?" she asked as someone picked up. "JD? Have you been drinking?" A slurred answer was the only response, so she was guessing that it meant yes. Martel sighed. "Jarret Darrien, if you don't stop drinking on the job, I swear I'm going to cut off your balls" she threatened, a tinny squeak coming from the other end. "Well, just tell Rachel to put that new stuff Lu-Chi made for us in the fridge before she leaves, okay? Bye". With the message delivered, Martel hung up and decided to just relax in the kitchen table chair.

Dante did not notice Martel as she passed by, as she was far too interested in the episode she was watching. When a commercial came on, she rose from her chair and headed into the kitchen to make herself some popcorn.
As she went into the pantry, she noticed Martel was on the phone and decided not to bother her. She took a bag of popcorn out of the pantry and put it in the microwave. As she waited for it to finish, she caught a glimpse of something suspicious in the corner of her eye...
Yoki was humming merrily at the counter, chopping up vegetables and putting them in a pot.
"What are you up to?" she asked suspiciously, quirking an eyebrow at the sniveling little bastard.
"Oh, I'm just having some stew," he answered with a sinister laugh. All of a sudden, his laughter came to an abrupt end and his face paled of all color. He looked down, noticing he sliced his finger with the knife he'd been using.
"...SHIT!!"

At Yoki's scream, Martel's eyes snapped open. "What the hell's wrong with you?" she asked the grubby and selfish man. She really didn't care, but she figured she could ask, if only to laugh at his response.
Smelling Yoki's blood, the little dog in Havoc's arms began to bark wildly. The way she sounded, you'd probably think the city halls of Nowhere, Anywhere, and Somewhere were all burning down.

"I cut my finger!" Yoki wailed in pain as he rushed over to the sink. He ran it under cold water, grumbling something about dogs and knives under his breath.
"You're exquisitely pathetic," Dante chuckled at his misfortune as she took the bag of popcorn out of the microwave. She went over to the fridge and began looking for a soda to drink, not being in the mood for tea.
Dante's derisive laughter was enough to finally push the lieutenant off the edge. The mustached man snarled in anger and charged the body snatcher, causing her to drop both her drink and the popcorn. He pinned her to the nearby wall, glaring at her angrily.
"Lyra, I have had enough of your insubordination," Yoki hissed, tightening his grip on her wrists. "You have been nothing but a problem for me ever since I came to this pathetic excuse for a house. After all I've done for you, this is how you repay me, you little harlot? I think it's about time I reminded you just who the master is here."
Dante struggled in his grasp, trying to break free or deliver a swift and powerful kick to her assaulter's groin. Unfortunately, her current vessel was too frail to ward off the despicable employer of her former student. "Listen to me, you foolish - "
"Don't you talk back to me!" Yoki shrieked in his nasal, pompous voice, smacking her across the face.

Martel had to smirk at Yoki's slapping Dante. "You're going to regret that" she said simply to the man. Not that she really cared, she hated Yoki even more than she hated Dante at this time. Besides, watching her roommate get revenge on the bastard was something she'd actually pay to watch.

Jean blinked a few times, not really sure what he'd just heard.
"Medicine?"He asks the pup in his arms just as Martel rushes past him, the words phoning Rachel trailing behind.
Jean wasn't really in the mood to ask Greed about it. The man kinda made him feel uneasy when he grinned. He let the dog to the floor before he walked down after Martel.
Denny had been watching Yoki trying to cook and was wondering if letting someone die from their own food would be counted as an accomplice to murder.
He smirked as the man screamed out in pain from cutting his finger, sipping his beer as Dante insulted him. Not one of her best but still.
The moment he pushed her against the wall however, Denny was quick to rise. He didn't make it in time to stop him from hitting her though as his fist collided with Yoki's jaw a few seconds later.

Bandit yipped excitedly before sitting down and waiting for Havoc to arrive.
"Oh, hey Havoc. What's up?" Martel asked as she saw her friend from the corner of her eye. Her main focus, however, was on Dante vs. Yoki vs. Denny.

"Now let's get to business," Yoki chuckled eerily, leaning in for a kiss... only to be interrupted by a powerful punch to his jaw.
Yoki yelped and fell on his side, losing his hold on a rather frantic Dante, who rushed off toward the table.
"YOU BRUTISH OAF!" Yoki roared as he forced himself up. Rolling up his sleeves, he slowly approached Denny. "You want to fisticuffs? That's fine with me, you - "
Before he could finish his insult, Dante let out a fearsome shriek and broke a chair over his head. The perverted lieutenant never knew what hit him: he hit the floor like a ton of bricks, unconscious and bleeding.

Jean walked in to the kitchen i time to witness Denny hitting Yoki.
He honestly wouldn't have cared much about it, but seeing as Denny was involved he figured he'd ask about it.
"What's going on?"He turns to Martel, planning on pressing the medicine matter later.
Denny just managed to keep his balance as he'd thrown his weight into the punch. As Yoki stood up, Denny took an offensive stance ready to kick his ass.
jean's head snapped back to the scene as snapping of wood and a painful crash was heard.
He guessed what had happened and let out a sigh, shaking his head and reminding himself not to piss her off while in the vicinity of chairs.
Denny on the other hand stood there for a few staring ahead of himself, blinking.
Suddenly Yoki was no longer standing, but laying on the floor, broken wood all over him.
He blinked a few more times before he understood what had happened and turned to Dante.
"You okay?"He asked being the gentleman he was.
"Great, now he's getting blood on the floor."Jean stepped towards the unconscious body and made to grab an arm."Give me a hand Denny.We'll dump him in the yard."Denny helped him pull Yoki off the floor and together they carried him out back.
"Think we should call an ambulance?"Denny asks once they're back in the kitchen.

At Havoc's question, Martel shrugged. "Apparently Yoki's trying to hit on Dante" she said, not believing it herself. At the idea, she shuddered, actually feeling her mouth go numb. As Yoki hit the floor, she winced, but at the same time, she couldn't help but chuckle softly to herself.

"I'm fine, thank you," Dante answered gratefully as she glared at the unconscious lieutenant. That disgusting pig had just tried to... She shuddered at the mere thought of it, then delivered a powerful kick to the side of his head for good measure.
She watched as they dragged him out of the kitchen, weighing her options. Would she involve the police? Most certainly. Officer Bob and Officer Frank would be paying the house another visit very soon.
When Denny asked about calling an ambulance, she seemed offended by the idea. "Personally, I think we should just leave him out there to rot," she growled, understandably still upset about the entire situation. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to contact the authorities," she told them, heading over to the phone.
