“I made detective before you did, and now somehow you outrank me,” Dee commented, leaning his chin on his hand as he stared across their back-to-back desks at his partner.

 
Ryo looked up from his paperwork. “Does it matter? I mean, it’s not really even a matter of rank, is it? You’re detective third grade, and I’m detective second grade. I just got bumped up a grade ahead of you. If it bothers you…”

 
“It doesn’t; you earned your promotion and I’m proud of you. The Chief would’a been a fool not to promote you, you’ve always been a way better cop than me.”
 

“Don’t talk like that, Dee. Most of what I know about being a detective I learned from you, so if I’m good enough at the job to earn a promotion, a lot of that’s down to you. It’ll be your turn next, you’ll see.”

 

“Not the way I play fast and loose with the rules. I’ll probably make second grade about the time you make captain.”
