AN: This is my first Bryan and Lei fanfic where I explore their rivalry when there are lives on the line. You know, how come cool guys like Bryan or Lei are kept in the background when someone like Xiaoyu gets a leading part?

Ah... well.

Detective Lei Wulong of the Hong Kong police department was napping in his apartment after a difficult day of working and keeping the city safe. The job was difficult and he often had to risk his life, but Lei wasn't complaining. He was helping battle crime and knew that there are milions out there who are grateful.

There were times, however, when he felt like a maid. No matter how many crooks he arrested, the city was still swarming with them. Couldn't the city just stay safe once you secured it for like a milion times?

And there were the mobsters. These guys did whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted and there was never enough evidence to link them to a crime. Hunting them down was difficult buisness but the rewards were often huge.

Once in a while, a maniac would find their way through the city, and kill several people before they are released on basis that they mentaly impaired. Someone like that was always in this city.

As Lei was relaxing, his cellphone rang, waking him.

"Yello..." he said in a hoarse voice, while streching at the same time and yawning loudly. "Detective Wulong."

"Wulong? Did I catch you at a bad time?" asked the voice on the other line, a voice Lei found vaguely familiar.

"Who is there?" asked Lei.

"Ahh... Lei, how could you forget me? I thought we had something special." said the voice. Lei could now definitely recognise it as a man's voice although he felt an odd chill run the course of his body as if the voice was that of a demon's.

"I am sorry, but I do not recognise you." said Lei, dreading that the voice on the other line might belong to an ex-crimelord he had put in jail. It happened to him once and it ended up in Lei having to get a surgery to take 49 machinegun rounds out of his stomach.

"Well, you must be fucking retarded, as nobody can forget me, after they see me." said the voice as a maniacal laugh followed.

Comprehension hit Lei like a shotgun shell. "Bryan Fury!" Lei's body did a double-take as he was suddenly overwhealmed with fear at the prospect of seeing Bryan Fury again. Last time it happened, Lei wound up beaten beyond recognition and had to endure Bryan's maniacal speech about enjoying other people's pain.

"Well, duh. I guess you are not as retarded as I thought. Okay by me. I could use prey that can actualy think." Bryan laughed in a menacing way. Lei was now petrified, what if Bryan was in Hong Kong right now? That maniac spread chaos and destruction wherever he went.

"What do you mean by prey?" asked Lei, fearing that he already knew the answer.

"Muahahaha!" laughed Bryan. "How fucking stupid can you get? There is a word for that. Flatfoot! A stupid cop. Muahahahaha!"

Bryan's evil laugh left Lei feeling like an animal in a crosshair. He knew what Bryan was thinking, and he knew what did he mean by prey. He was the prey and Bryan would hunt him down like an animal.

"I can see your game, Bryan." Lei felt an odd sensation of courage. He had already proved his mental superiority to Bryan.

"Hahaha! Game!" the way in which Bryan said the word left Lei without his tint of bravery. "Tell me, flatfoot, what is the most dangerous game?"

What was Bryan thinking now? The most dangerous game? The phrase was somewhat familiar but Lei could make no head nor tail of it.

"You don't know, flatfoot?" said Bryan, obviosly enjoying the pain that he was about to cause.

"The most dangerous game, is hunt?" Lei took his best guess, the response was preceeded by a yet another maniacal laugh.

"Are all cops these stupid? Or are you realy trying to be better? Hahaha!" Bryan Fury's voice revealed nothing other than a wish to play with Lei, like a cat played with a mouse. Lei understood now. He was the most dangerous game and Bryan was the most dangerous hunter.

"I see..."

"Well I am glad for you, pinhead. I grow tired of murderizing helpless civilians, meaning I need someone as strong as you to get a real chalenge." said Bryan as Lei now understood that Bryan wanted him. Ever since they were rivals, in the days when Bryan was still sane, albeit kinda reckless, Bryan felt like he was Lei's polar opposite of sorts. They never got along, as the more experienced Lei often criticized the hot-headed and dramatic Bryan and Bryan often got into shady deals which Lei found to be an insult to the uniform.

"Where do we meet?" Lei knew that Bryan can only be stopped if he handled this personaly.

"Ha ha! Aren't you eager." Bryan chuckled before proceeding. "I am sure that we will meet soon fucking enough."

"Don't play games with me, Fury!"

"Ah, this is no game, dork! You are no longer prey! Now we are both prey and hunter! We hunt each other!" Bryan paused, as if to breathe in the scent of adrenaline coming from Lei's blood system. "I hunt you, and you hunt me."

"Where do we meet?" asked Lei again.

"Somewhere near, if you listen to dispatch." said Bryan calmly and hung up.

Lei stood with his cell to his ear. He couldn't beleive it, Bryan Fury was coming after him. What did he mean by listening to dispatch? Was he going to make a mess big enough for Lei to be called?

Lei could only wait to see what the sunrise will bring, as he went back to his nap, gathering forces for the battles ahead.
