FAKE: Fanfic: First Assignment (Drabble)

  • May. 27th, 2014 at 2:38 PM
Title: First Assignment
Fandom: FAKE
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Ryo, mentions Dee.
Rating: G
Setting: Vol. 1, right at the beginning.
Summary: Ryo muses on certain aspects of his new job.
Warnings: None needed.
Word Count: A drabble - 100 words exactly.
Written For: Challenge #84: Drugs.
Disclaimer: I don’t own FAKE, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Sanami Matoh.
A/N: Some of Ryo’s thoughts are borrowed from the manga.



Randy Maclean was… not exactly worried, but definitely less than happy.

He’d finally made detective, so here he was; new precinct, new partner, first case and what did he get? A homicide soured by drugs. Just wonderful! Nothing like getting thrown in at the deep end to get the new guy off to a good start.

Chin in hand he stared morosely into space.

‘I thought rookies got rookie assignments. Guess I thought wrong.’

Dee seemed entirely too gung-ho about everything. Honestly, didn’t anything bother him?

Thinking about it, the only thing that worried Randy was his partner.

‘I’m doomed.’

The End

Oh you're right, their first assignment as partners was about drugs! I didn't even think about that, although it fits the prompt perfectly :'D

Oh Ryo, you're doomed indeed! In fact, you don't have any idea yet how doomed you really are, hehe! ;D

There were several incidents in the manga where drugs of one sort or another were central to the storyline, but I couldn't get any of them to work as a short fic, most of them would have required a more thorough exploration than I had time for - like Ryo's parents' deaths, and the sad fate of Dee's childhood friend. Even this first case was so complex that to deal with it all would have been too time-consuming, so I settled for a drabble - I needed one to count towards a badge anyway =)

I like that scene where Ryo is contemplating the reality of his new situation. Stuck with an overly friendly, borderline obnoxious new partner and pitched head first into what looks likely to be a very messy case, he's just not sure he's ready for this, but it's a little too late to change his mind.

He is completely doomed, but he'll learn to love it!

Thank you!

Yes he is, but in a very good way.

Well, aside from being lumbered with all the paperwork because of Dee's aversion to it, and having to try to keep Dee out of trouble, lol! Dee's worth it though, and Ryo may not know it yet but he's right where he belongs.

Thank you!
