I do not own Tokyo Ghoul, this is a fan fiction only.

As Ken reached his home he knew his beloved wife was having a fresh cup of coffee. The smell was reaching him as he opened the door. "Rise, mind if I have a cup of that coffee? I want to sit down and have to tell me everything that happened to you. I know you must be stressed."

Rize smiled as she got him a cup and set it right next to her seat. "I wouldn't say that it was stressful, but several customers kept eyeing my figure. It stopped once I delivered their coffee and they saw my ring."

Ken sat down kissed her in her lips in the most tender way he could. "You are one beautiful lady Rize, I guess that is another example of damn if you do and damn if you don't. I know I am the luckiest guy around. My beloved wife, is kind, caring, supportive, understanding and to top it off beautiful and gentle."

Rize told him he was not such a bad catch himself. "So anything happened that would cause our home problems?" Rize saw him take a sip from his cup. He truly liked the taste of the coffee. It must be from the Blondie brand.

"Well there are a few things that caused me to be worried. First two doves from the main office came to ask me about a rather well used pair of pliers we use that type to cut off fingers and such. The other thing this doves said that Jason is apparently in our ward. Please be careful Rize, I don't want to lose you. "

Rize smiled as she heard his concern in his voice." I know that if you can save me my Knight in shining armor will come and save me. I am a very kind person Ken, but trust me when I say I am not defenseless. You can relax and yes we don't need anything from the store. Don't worry I did the grocery shopping before I came to our home. "

Ken looked at her and smiled." I swear sometimes you read my body language like I am an open book. " She kissed his cheek and whispered that she could because she paid attention to him.

" So Ken what exactly do you plan on doing tonight? " Rize asked him almost wanting him to say he was staying home. She knew better but she always hopped that it would happen.

" I need to finish the reports for today's autopsies and finish the last minute autopsies and food delivery in the alley behind my workplace. I did promise the Owl I would help him. I will be back by ten. Then we can have some fun, is that what you wanted to know? "

Rize was blushing as he said that." We are newlyweds my love. It is quite common for newly married couples to do that,or maybe are you cheating on me with one of those lady coroners that work with you?"

Ken could not help but to laugh, "Rize I love you and you know that. I am only interested in doing that with one woman in my life and she is the one I married. Besides the only woman working is Mirata and she likes girls by the looks of it."

Rize knew better than to doubt her husband, and she was not going to argue about something that had no reason. "Just remember something Ken, you are mine and I am yours. I don't ever want to us to be apart. I might even want to start thinking about a few little ankle bitters if you aren't careful."

The two enjoyed a light dinner and after some tender loving they fell asleep in each others arms. It was no better place in the entire world than being able to enjoy each other, and sleep this way.

Early the next morning he got up and gave a little kiss to his still sleeping wife. "Got to go to work, love you." He got dressed and he exited their home. He was in a good mood as he reached his workplace.

The one thing about his work he would never have to worry about a slow day. He began to do the autopsy of a young teenager. By the looks of it he was doing tricks with his motorcycle when a drunk driver hit the teenager and sent him and his bike into a pole.

This was not as easy as that as he soon realized the reason why he was doing tricks on his motorbike. The teen was high on some rather horrible new drug that had been sold around the city. "Great, not only is the guy who was drunk guilty of killing the kid, but the kid is also guilty of using an illegal substance. I guess the drunk driver is the only one that is going to pay for his crime though."

The others came in to work and as always they greeted Ken with a great deal of respect and warmth. "So Chief how many have you done so far?" Mirata asked as she got ready for the days work.

"It was a slow morning, I just got finished with this teen when you guys came in. I have to warn you. The new drug has just claimed it's first casualty. Come over and see the effects so that you can identify it. I swear it's like his brain was fried and then put into a blender. It will make you wish you skipped breakfast. That is saying something coming from me. "

This made the people in the room laugh, they did look and true enough the effects of the new drug were horrific to be sure.

Mirata as always paid attention and took notes. It was almost amusing to see her take notes about the new things that could kill people. "You writing a horror novel, or why do you need to make drawings to illustrate your notes?" Amaro asked his friend as he looked at Mirata's notes.

"I just decided to make a clean and easy to understand notebook. I am planning to send this thing to the other cities. This might help them do their jobs a lot better. "

The guy next to Amaro a guy named Kenichi said that maybe she should write a textbook instead. He complained that most of his college textbooks lacked the illustrations that she was making for her own notebook.

They each continued to work on their own table as they saw Ken do his work. It was always amazing to watch. He could do things so quickly and organized that he finished three autopsies by the time the rest finished one.

That morning the office had a surprised visit from the district attorney. The man looked the same as ever, he was a big man who had this horrible mustache and you could always confuse him for a walrus wearing a suit.

"So Ken, what do your think about this new drug that is out on the streets today. I imagine you think the same as I do. Disgusting what these bastards are selling to teens these days. They even are using something that they shouldn't be using. Have you heard what they are calling it? Ghoul candy. That is just plain sick. "

Ken looked at the man and began shaking his head. He told him this drug was so horrible and invasive that no ghoul would even want to smell it." This stuff is horrible alright, the autopsy of the teen I did this morning shows why. The teen would have been dead within a couple of hours even if the drunk driver didn't hit his motorcycle. "

" If the police doesn't do something about this, we are going to have to ask for a bigger storage space. This is never a good thing. Almost makes you reconsider having kids these days. "

The man had to agree with Ken, the situation was not something pleasing to think about when thinking that your own kids could run into someone selling this junk." So do we know how it is ingested at the very least. "

Ken took his notes from the autopsy of the teen." It is liquid by the looks of the needle marks and the damage done to his esophagus. I say it can be ingested or injected. Thank goodness it is not something that they can sniff. I hate to think of the damage it would do if they drug dealers make a spray bottle or can version of this junk. "

Mirata had to agree that this was a disturbing case for certain and coming from Ken this was made even more obvious. The two kept working trying to get as much information into the file so that the district attorney's office would put more pressure into finding the people making and selling the new drug.

They finished the other autopsies and having finished early he decided to go out for some coffee at the coffee shop his wife worked at. Having dealt with that case made him feel the need to see his wife and know that she was safe.

Anteiku was a rather cozy coffee shop and they unlike many places had both human and ghoul customers. The humans enjoyed the variety of coffees the shop had on the menu and the ghouls had some good coffee to curb their hunger a bit.

As he walked into the coffee shop he saw his wife working the tables as Touka and the others worked the counter. The manager knew that something must be wrong for Ken to show up and so he went to see if something was bothering him.

Rize took his order and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before she went to prepare his order. Several of the male customers glared at him when she kissed him, and it wasn't only the human customers either. Some ghouls also glared at him for the same reason as the humans did.

"Kaneki, it is rare for you to come into the shop for an afternoon coffee. Did something happened at work that was disturbing? You know you can always talk with me." Yoshimura sounded like a concerned businessman to the others.

"Just that their is a new drug out in the streets. This stuff is insidious to say the least. I have seen some bad things at work but this is by far the worst I have ever seen. I will spare you the details. I don't want to ruin everyone's coffee break. "

Yoshimura knew then why he came to the shop. It was as quite clear that he wanted information about who was distributing the new drug. It was no small secret among the ghoul community that the coffee shop was a good place to obtain information. Yoshimura's information network could but some intelligence agencies to shame.

"The drug is called Rail and it is more than likely being distributed by people who hate both ghouls and want to make an inordinate amount of money, without carrying for the consequences. Rail has been going around as a supposed drug that can keep people safe from being eaten by ghouls. "

Yoshimura knew from his silence that he suspected as much." As such it had become quite popular with people who can't handle the fear of ghouls. In a sense it does work, the smell their decaying bodies give in fact are disgusting even to ghouls. However the smell comes at a result of systematic organ decay. This is more than likely what killed the people that have come to your office. "

Ken looked at his coffee and took a big gulp." So my suspicions are correct, this is done by people that prey on the fear of others. I am also thinking it is a CCG clandestine operation since this harms ghouls in some way by reducing our food supply. Did you think the same thing Owl? Or am I as some would say jumping the gun? "

Yoshimura was quite impressed that he was not really here to get information, rather he was here to check his own hypothesis." In part I would say the Doves are involved, but I could also say the people making it are criminals since this drug is being distributed as a common illegal substance. "

Ken didn't like this one bit." So there is nothing we can do about it. If we go to war with the syndicate making this drug. That will only make the nest send a lot more Doves to our district and we don't need that. If this drug keeps spreading it might happen anyways as ghouls will lose their minds to hunger. " Ken finished his cup.

Yoshimura agreed that the new drug was indeed making it hard for both humans and ghouls. He did however had a suggestion that he would be sure to listen to. He would not even suggest it if he didn't know that he would in fact listen for the benefit of not only ghouls but humans as well. It must come natural since he was both.

"Knight, I do have an idea. I happen to know the places where this drug is being circulated and sold. I can give you the info and you can in turn give it to that district attorney you often send your reports to. This however must remain secret. It would cause a scandal if we of Anteiku are seen helping human law enforcement. Some might even retaliate and say we are traitors. "

His eye turned black as it would on any ghoul that dropped his disguise but he did so for a second." The implication that I would reveal my sources is insulting more than you can imagine. My beloved wife works here and you should know the extent I would go through to keep her safe. If you don't trust me then I will have to find the information some other way? "

He got up and left the money for his coffee. Yoshimura asked him how would he find the information if he didn't give it to him. Ken looked dead serious as he said he would simply find a dealer and extract the information from him with some rather inventive questioning tactics.

Yoshimura stood up and walked up to him. "You would torture many people to get this information? Would you truly use such horrible tactics Knight?" Ken told him again that to protect the innocent he would go through any lengths. To protect Rize he would march through the gates of hell if he had to.

Yoshimura saw that he indeed would use such tactics and seeing that he had no other alternative he gave him a file folder with the information about the drugs harmful effects, who was making it and where it was currently being sold. "To keep the Doves from finding the corpses of the dealers you would no doubt kill. I give you the information. Please keep the source secret."
