'Where is Drake?' JJ thought to himself. Drake was over thirty minutes late for work. He has been late before but never this late. JJ was starting to get worried. Lately Drake has been acting strange and he didn't know why. Every time he asked Drake what was going with him Drake would avoid the subject and tell him that he was fine but JJ could tell he was hiding something. He sat at his desk in his and Drake's office staring at the clock. He sighed to himself. He heard the door open and turned his head to see Drake walk in and close the door behind him. "Drake-senpai where have you been?" Drake took his coat off and draped it over the back of his chair.

"Sorry I'm late. Traffic was awful" JJ could tell he was lying. Something was going on with him and JJ intended to find out what. Drake sat down at his desk and looked at the clock. The clock read 9:30.

"Damn I didn't realize I was that late."

"Yeah and chief is going have your head for being late again."

No sooner did the words come out of JJ's mouth when they heard the chief yell "PARKER GET YOUR ASS IN MY OFFICE NOW!" Drake cringed at the sound of the chief's voice. "Aww man I'm dead." Just as he got up from his desk Dee walked into their office.

"Damn Drake! Where you late again! Chief is really pissed off!" Drake didn't answer. He looked at the JJ then turned and left.

Dee stuck his head out the door and called down the hall "Dead man walking." Drake turned and glared at him then continued on his way. Dee was about to leave when he heard JJ call his name. "Dee-senpai." Dee turned around and looked JJ in the eyes. "Do you know what is going on with Drake?"

Dee became confused. "What do you mean?"

"Well, he has been acting strange for the past few days. He's been coming in late and he is acting like he has been avoiding me and hiding something. You don't think he's…" JJ couldn't finish his sentence but Dee knew what he was about to say.

"No JJ. You know Drake would never cheat on you. He loves you too much."

"Then why is he acting like this? Why wont he tell me what is going on?" Dee sighed. He hated that JJ felt like this but he couldn't tell that Drake was planning something for him. He couldn't break his promise to Drake. He placed a gentle hand on JJ's shoulder.

"Listen, I honestly can't tell you what is going on with him but I promise you, Drake is not cheating on you. He would never dream of hurting you. He loves you more than anything. So don't worry ok? I promise you will find out what is going on soon enough."

JJ gave Dee a small smile. "Thanks Dee-senpai." Dee smiled back at him. He turned and left JJ to his thoughts. JJ sat at his desk and sighed. He was ashamed at himself for thinking that Drake cheat on him. He mentally slapped himself. A few minutes later Drake waltzed back into the room.

"Hey what did the chief say?" JJ asked.

Drake sat down at his desk before answering. "He said that if I'm late one more time I would be in major trouble." Drake shrugged. JJ sighed. He wanted to ask Drake what was up with him lately, but decided not too. "Here." He said getting up from his desk with a folder in his hand walking over to Drake's desk. He put the folder down in front of Drake and walked back to his desk and sat down.

"What's this?" Drake asked opening the folder.

"Your share of the paper work from our last case." Drake groaned. He hated doing paper work. JJ chuckled. He started work on his own share of paper work in front of him while Drake continued to moan and groan and gripe about it. The rest of their shift they worked on the paper. Occasionally one of them would go to the break room and retrieve some coffee. Once their shift was over Drake drove JJ home. JJ had tried to ask why he had been late lately but every time Drake told him not to worry about it and that he would find out soon. JJ didn't understand what he meant about finding out soon. When JJ got home he took a quick shower, eat a sandwich, watched a little TV, then went to bed.

Two days later at JJ's house

It was JJ's day off. He was at home sitting on his couch watching TV when the phone rang. He got up and went into the kitchen to grab the phone off the table. "Adam's residence."

"Hey JJ." Drakes voice rang on the other end of the telephone.

"Hey Drakey."

"Hey, listen what are you doing today?"

"Nothing really just staying at home. Why?"

"Why not come over to my place say around five."

"Ok, but I could come over now if you want."

"Now's not a good time, come over around five ok?"

"Ok but what is going on?"

"You'll find out when you get here."

"Drake…"

"See you around five ok? Bye." JJ heard a dial tone on the other end of the line and put the phone down. What was Drake up too? JJ sighed. Maybe now he would get some answers to his questions. He looked at his clock above the fridge. It was three-thirty. He had and hour and a half hours before he had to be a Drake's. He sighed. He went back into the living room and sat on the couch. The movie he had been watching was over and he turned the TV off. He decided to take a quick nap before he took a shower. He got up and went into his bedroom and laid on the bed. He was asleep in no time.

Thirty minutes later JJ woke up and looked at the clock beside his bed. It was four o'clock. He sat up and stretched. He rubbed his off then swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up. "I guess I better go take a shower."

He over to his closet and picked out a short sleeved blue shirt and black jeans that hugged his figure. He left his room and went into the bathroom to take a shower. He turned on the water and let it run while he got undressed. He stepped into the shower and washed up. Once he was done he turned the water off and stepped out of the tub and dried himself off. He got dressed and left the bathroom.

He put his clothes that he had on before in the dirty clothesbasket and looked at the clock. It was now four fifteen. He went into the kitchen and made a fresh pot of coffee. He poured him self some and sat at the table. He drank his coffee in silence thinking about what was going on with Drake. Once he was finished he put his cup in the sink and grabbed his keys. It would take him thirty minutes to get to Drake's apartment. He put on his shoes then left for Drake's apartment.

At Drake's

JJ pulled up to the apartment building Drake lived in. He got out of his car and shut the door. He entered the complex, failing to notice that Ryo & Dee's car along with Ted's car was also parked in front of the apartment complex. Once in the building JJ walked up the stairs five flights to get to Drake's apartment. He looked at his watch. It was five minutes to five. He reached the fifth floor and walked down the hall till he reached Drake's apartment. He knocked on the door. He heard shuffling coming from inside the apartment but no one answered the door. "Drake it's me. You in there?" "The door's unlocked JJ, come on in." He heard Drake call from inside. He grabbed the door handle and gently turned it. The door opened and JJ stepped into the dark apartment.

"Drake?" He called out closing the door behind him. There was no answer. He found the light switch on the wall and flipped on the lights.

"SURPRISE!"
