A/N: Last chapter! I decided to put the two up together as this one was so short, I probably should have put it with the other piece, but since every other scene had it's own chapter, I felt I couldn't really break the tradition.

'I don't know bro, but he got caught, so he couldn't have been that bright. Maybe he saw your charming personality and decided it was better to make a swim for it than ride with us to the precinct.' Ryan grinned, needling his partner.

It looked like interesting times were ahead, but one thing they knew would never change, was their relationship with each other, their chosen brothers.
