Detective Gordon Katsumoto was pissed that another person was raped, & killed at nightclubs, After they were closed for the night, He insisted that Rick scaled back , & made sure that there were security around. Rick won't budge, "Hell no, Katsumoto, This bastard isn't gonna scare me off of my turf, I will be fine, Please focus on the victims, They need you more". The Asian Police Officer sighed & went back to HPD, so he could finish his work load for the day.
At the estate, aka Robin's Nest, Thomas was working out hard, as he was doing his routine. He was pissed, Cause Rick wasn't taking precautions to protect the patrons, & his club from a serial rapist. He was punching out his frustrations on a punching bag. Magnum was also feeling emotional, cause he won't know what he would do, if he lost his best friend, & lover. He wouldn't have his source of happiness anymore.
Juliet came out with some lemonade, & leaned against the floral archway, as she watched her friend, & fellow housemate do this. She sighed, & can't blame Magnum for getting pissed, The PI takes everyone under his wing, & loves him unconditionally. Once, He calmed himself down, she handed him a glass. "Please don't blow the best thing that ever happened to you, Talk it out with him, or you both will be miserable".
"I need to calm down first, Juliet, or I will say something that I will regret, & can't take back", The Beautiful Blond nodded, showed that she understood. "Just don't take too long, Believe me, when I speak from personal experience". He nodded, & dried the sweat off with a towel, that he hung over a chair. He hates fighting with Rick, & is hoping to work things out with him. "I will treat him to lunch, where he is tied down by stress", "Good Man", Higgins said in her accent, as she nods her approval. They went to sit down, & caught each other up on their lives the past couple of days.
Rick was still pissed off, He couldn't believe that his lover was trying to run his life. He isn't ready to see him yet, He made sure that the club was all set up for business. He was feeling better once he was behind the bar. The Shorter Man knew his lover meant well, but, he wishes that he can lay off a bit, & trusts him to take care of himself, & live his life the way that he wanted.
TC came in for the lunch rush, He had a tour, & he needs all of the energy that he could get. "Hey, Bro, How's the biz ?", as he sits down in his usual seat at the bar, as he always does. "It's going okay, I just wish the rest of my life goes smoothly, like the club", He said with a sigh. The Island Hoppers Pilot knew exactly what he was talking about.
"I think that you should give Magnum a chance to explain himself, & apologize for his behavior", TC said, as he took a sip of his beer. "Maybe, I think that I will let him sweat it out a bit", The Club Owner decided, as he was thinking about the situation, & TC would take what he could get, cause he knew that his friend could be stubborn.
"Fine, Just don't take too long, I think you should go to him, instead of him coming to you", Rick will take it into consideration. He puts a sandwich in front of him, & pointed at it, "Eat",He said, & then he went to his tasks around the bar. The truth is that he forgave Thomas, after he calmed down after their fight.
"I just love him so much", he thought to himself, & he went to take care of his other customers, who showed up during the lunch rush. He hopes that Magnum shows up, He wants to make up with him, & continue to be happy with him, like he had been. He had a feeling all day, & knew that he had to shake it off, otherwise, he won't be able to focus on business, & on the day ahead.
Valentin Santiago, The Serial Rapist, discreetly made his presence known at the club, He was at a table in the corner at the back. "Mmmm, Rick, You are gorgeous, I think that we are gonna be together, Then, I will sell you on the Black Market, Then, I will fuck you whenever I want", He thought to himself with a smile. He took a sip of his drink, & kept his watch up on Rick, so he could make his move on him.
Magnum came in that evening, & he had every intention on making things right with Rick, He felt bad on how he acted with him. He stopped by one of Rick's favorite stores, & get him his favorite chocolate. "God, Please let this go right, Please", he thought to himself, as he prayed to himself, as he was making his way to the store, so he can get his present for Rick.
"Damn, He is so sexy when he is working", Magnum thought to himself with a smile, as he watched his boyfriend work, & work the crowd. Rick smiled, & said, "Hey, Babe", as he made his way over to him, & they shared a sweet kiss, The Handsome PI said with sincerity, "Baby, I am so sorry for the way that I acted, It's just the thought of losing you, It would kill me, I got you a present", He handed over the chocolates to him.
"You spoil me", Rick said, as he was flattered with the tension that he was getting from his lover, "Love, You deserve to be spoiled, & be cherished", Magnum said with a sweet smile, as they cuddled against each other. They had a fun evening, & went out to be alone for awhile, til Rick has to come back to do the books, & set up everything for the next day.
The Couple felt better after they talked things out, Magnum brought him back to the club, "Do you need me to stay, & keep you company ?", "No, Darlin', I will be fine", They kissed passionately, & Rick went into the club, Magnum headed back towards the Robin's Nest, so he could get a good night sleep.
Valentin decided to make his move, so he hid for the moment, Cause he didn't want to be discovered. He knew that he had the shorter man where he wanted him. The Club is deserted, & quiet. Which makes getting the upper hand a whole lot easier, & Rick won't have any idea, that he would get attacked. "Hello, Rick", Rick looked up, & gulped, He was having an hellish experience, & nightmare.
