Well we just keep moving right along!!!! The plot thickens as Kaji & Shinji are looking for break in the case... will they get one? Well just read and review to find out!!! Also a quick note, that I'm going to keep out the fawning over Shinji that we saw Rianne do in the original movie. To me it served no purpose to the plot & thus wasn't necessary to my story.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Evangelion!!! Also don't own Lethal Weapon, WB & Richard Donner like their royalty cheques.

Claimer: All OC's are mine so try your best to find your own. If not contact me & I can help.

CHAPTER 4: A NIGHT WITH THE KAJI'S

December 22nd, 1987: 7 PM Death scene at the Pimp's house

After their close encounter with death, Shinji and Kaji were able to get a hold of the crime scene coroner & also give a full report on what had transpired during the afternoon at the house. It was still an incredibly bitter pill to swallow, knowing that their best lead was kaput at this point.

The trail was about to run cold, and the slime that was infecting Tokyo-3 would still be able to keep growing, if the police couldn't find some way to solve the mystery in the next 48 hours. Kaji found a change of clothes and was handing a pair of pants to Shinji when he decided to explain the next steps.

"The coroner gave the body a ride downtown so we're done here Shinji." Kaji drew in a deep breath for the next part of the conversation. He so rarely had to thank a fellow police officer for putting himself in harms way, that this was difficult for him. Still, Shinji had saved his life, so he'd earned it.

"Listen Shinji, I'm sorry for all that shit I said earlier today. You saved my life, without your quick reactions I might be the one in the body bag today..." Kaji trailed off with a distant look in his eye, realizing how close he came to be a corpse.

Shinji just gave him a blank look. Things had been so difficult to start out their partnership he wondered if they'd ever get along, and now here Kaji was thanking him for saving his life.

"well I bet that hurt to say..." was all Shinji could reply Kaji just grunted and headed out of the house, but just as quickly turned back to his partner.

"Hey Shinji, you hungry? Let's go get a bite to eat huh?" Kaji still was dazed from what had happened that afternoon and owing his life to his partner wasn't something he was accustomed to.

"Yeah sure" Shinji answered as he followed his partner out of the house.

Truth be told, Shinji was hungry and wasn't really looking forward to another sleepless night in his trailer. Maybe a night out with someone else (TOTALLY PLATONIC!!! NO YAOI HERE!!!!), might help ward off the nightmares that had terrorized him for the last few months. Shinji left the house, and got into the patrol car, wondering just where they were headed for the evening. One thing was for sure, it was a night he wasn't going to forget.

December 22nd,1987: 730 PM The Kaji Residence Suburbs of Tokyo-3

Kaji rolled up to the driveway in his patrol car. When he got out, he was greeted by his youngest daughter, wearing a bright purple shirt and pants to match and her jet-black hair done up in pigtails.

"DADDYYYY!!!!!" Little Akiza, Kaji's youngest daughter ran up to and leaped into her father's arms in a tight hug. Kaji just chuckled a bit and gave his daughter a kiss on the forehead. It was at this point Akiza noticed Shinji flanking Kaji to the right. Openly curious the little girl turned her head and looked at Shinji

"Is that a crook?" Akiza asked as she pointed her small finger at Shinji. Shinji just laughed at the child's candor.

Kaji just sighed "No sweetheart this is my new partner Shinji Ikari." Akiza reached her small hand out to shake Shinji's.
