Chapter 1

4 years earlier

His life changed the moment that he walked into his house that cold dark autumn night, he was gone most of the night as he and April had a fight about his job, once again. As soon as he walked inside the house, his police instinct told him that something was very wrong, but it wasn't until he walked into the living room and saw April's lifeless body lying on the floor that he knew he was right. He ran towards her. "April, what happened." he yelled, as he saw blood all over her. He opened her shirt and saw that it was very bad. He then touched her face. "You're going to be okay, I'm just going to call 911," he said, as he stood up and dialed his phone

He then heard her faintly, quiet voice. "Maurice"

He ran towards her. "You're going to be okay, I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

"Take care of Katie for me. I... love you..." April said, slowly started to fade away from him.

"Get me an ambulance now!" Bosco shouted through the phone, but he knew that it was too late that his sweet April was gone. He then laid down his head on her chest, and felt that she wasn't breathing anymore "I love you, April; I shouldn't have left you alone."

He then thought of his, precious daughter, Katie, who was probably sleeping upstairs in her crib. What if this person hurt her too?

He then stood up and suddenly, without warning, his world went dark.

4 years later.

Sully looked at his partner, he could see how tired out he looked, and he knew the reason.

"I've been talking to you for the last few minutes and you aren't listening to me."

"Maybe because I don't want to talk to you. you ever thought of that?" Bosco yelled. Sully looked at Bosco. "You know you are a jerk."

"But you are still my partner after how many years." Bosco said with a grin. Sully smiled. "That's only because nobody else will be your partner."

"That what you keep telling yourself, I know you care about me, Sully." Bosco said, as they approached the police station for the end of their shift. Sully turned to Bosco, as Bosco stopped the car. "How about you and Katie come over tonight, I know that Gwen would love to play with Katie and Patricia has been trying to get you to come over for ages. " Sully replied.

"I know what you are doing, Sully. Thanks, but no thanks."

Sully looked at Bosco. "I just worried about you, today is the day."

"That my wife was murdered. Don't think I don't remember that." Bosco said, as he got out of the squad car. Sully got out of the car as well and walked up to Bosco. "I know that you will never forget that day Bosco, but wouldn't you rather be with friends on a day like this."

"You don't know anything about what it is like to deal with a loss, Sully, don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do on the day that I lost April."

"I might not know what it is like to lose a wife, but I know what it is like to lose a best friend and partner, I still think about Ty's father and how what happened to him. So don't tell me that I don't know what it is like to lose someone because I know better than you think I do." Sully shouted.

Bosco sighed. "I shouldn't have said that Sully, I forgot..."

Sully placed a hand on Bosco's shoulder. "I know today is the hardest day of your life, so don't try and do this on your own, like you normally do. You have people who want to be there for you."

"You never thought I killed April, did you?" Bosco said. Sully smiled slightly. "I know you have a bad temper and you can be a jerk, Bosco, but you would never lay a hand on woman, no matter how angry you were. You aren't your father."

"Let's go inside..." Sully said. "It's getting cold out here." All Bosco could think about was April and the night that she died and everything that happened after that.

4 years earlier:

"Mr. Boscorelli" was the first thing that Bosco heard when he woke up. He saw police officers staring at him, like he was a criminal, but why were they looking at him like that?

"What happened?" he asked, as he realized that he was lying on the floor with blood all over him. Did he get hurt?

One of the police officer looked at him. "Do you remember what happened? Do you remember killing your wife?"

April, she's dead, no this can't be true, Bosco thought to himself, as he stood up. "Where's April?" Bosco shouted.

"You can't see your wife..." the police officer said. " I need to know what you remember." Bosco sighed. "I don't remember anything. What happened to my wife, I need to know."

Bosco then saw his partner walking into the room. "Sully, what happened? Where's April?" Sully looked at him with this sad look on his face. "I'm sorry, Bosco, but she's gone."

"No!" Bosco screamed as he collapsed onto the floor. "Who did to this to her? I want to see her now." he yelled. Sully placed a hand on Bosco's shoulder. "You shouldn't see her."

"I shouldn't see my own wife, what are you talking about, Sully?" Bosco yelled. "I need to see her."

Sully shakes his head. "No you don't, this isn't the way that I want you to remember April."

The police officer then walked up to Bosco and Sully. "Is this your gun, Officer Boscorelli?" Bosco had tears falling down his cheeks. " I don't understand why you want to know." He didn't want to talk to this officer, all he wanted was to find the person that killed his wife, and make them pay.

"Officer, is this or isn't this your gun?"

Bosco nodded. "It's my off-duty gun."

"So that means nobody knows where it is but you." The officer questioned Bosco. Sully knew what they were doing. "Officer. my partner would never hurt his wife.." The officer looked at Sully. "This isn't your investigation, so stay out of it."

Sully moved towards the officer. "I'm not just some unknown person that doesn't know how this works. You are questioning my partner without an lawyer."

"So are you saying that you think your partner did kill his wife" the officer said, looking at Sully. Sully shakes his head. "That's not what I'm saying, I'm just saying that if you are going to talk to my partner like this.. you should do it the right way."

The officer looked at Bosco. "I'm taking you downtown for questioning about the murder of your wife." The police officer pulled out his handcuffs and Bosco looked at the police officer. "Don't do that, I'll come down to the station with you, I don't have anything to hide." Bosco then turned to Sully. "Could you go and see Katie, and take her home with you. I'll call you when I'm finished talking."

"I'll come down to the station with you." Sully replied. Bosco shakes his head. " I'll be fine on my own, I need to know that Katie is okay, can you go and get her?" Sully placed his hand on Bosco's shoulder. "Of course I will, I'm your partner."

Bosco and Sully were in the locker room when Ty walked in with his partner Sasha Monroe, who was also his girlfriend, but the department didn't know that yet, as they were doing as best as they could to hide it. Ty had his arms around Sasha. "How about we rent a movie, and spend all night together, just the two of us."

Ty then turned to Bosco. "I didn't mean to say that, I know that today is a hard day for you."

Bosco slammed his locker door. "Why does everybody keep worrying about me.. I'm not going to break just because it is the anniversary of my wife's death. Do you not think every day of my life is hard for me, and that I don't miss April every day? That I don't think about how my daughter is never going to know her mother. If I hadn't had a fight with April that night, she would have never been murdered. So you don't need to worry about me, because every day of my life is hard, but I'm still here." Bosco yelled as he walked out of the locker room.

Sully, Ty and Sasha all looked at each other, unsure what to say. Sully closed his locker.

"Maybe he just needs to be by himself right now." Ty replied. Sully sighed. "I don't think that is the best thing for him, you know Bosco likes to keep his feelings inside, I can't let him deal with this on his own." Sully said. "He can't do this on his own." Sully said, as he left the locker room. Ty and Sasha both looked at each other. "You know I don't know where Bosco would be right now if it wasn't for Sully." Sasha replied. Ty nodded. "You know I remember Sully telling me when Bosco first came to the force, he was this arrogant jerk, who thought he knew everything. Just like all the rookies that come in here, but Sully saw something in Bosco, that nobody else did."

"He is still a jerk." Sasha said, with a smile. "He has his reasons." Ty said. "Wouldn't you be if your wife got murdered and everybody thought that you did it?"

"But he didn't." Sasha said. Ty nodded. "We know that, but half of the officers think that he shouldn't have come back to work after the mis-trial. But Bosco never has been one to listen to what other people say, has he? I don't know if I could have come back to work after everything that he has been though." Sasha leaned over and kissed her. "I love you, Ty, come on, let's go home." she said, as they left the locker room.

A half an hour later,

Sully knocked on Bosco's apartment. Bosco opened the door with Katie in his arms. "Uncle Sully." Katie said, with this big smile on her face. Sully grabbed a hold of her. "If it isn't my sweet pea."

"I'm not a pea." Katie said, as she looked at Sully. Sully leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I don't mean that you are a real pea, I just mean that you are sweet." Sully then walked into the apartment and walked into the living room, and sat Katie down on the couch. "Can I show you my toys?"

Bosco walked up to Katie. "Katie, honey, you know that it is past your bed time.. Uncle Sully will come by and see you tomorrow." Bosco said, as he grabbed a hold of her. Sully looked at Bosco. "You know Gwen wants to have a sleep- over tonight, I know it is pretty late, but you know how kids are."

Bosco knew exactly what Sully was doing. " I was thinking since you are still pretty young, Katie, how would you feel if your daddy came over to. It could be a big sleepover at my house." Sully explained.

"Thanks Sully, but I don't think tonight would be a great night." Katie looked at Bosco with this love in her eyes. "Please daddy."

Bosco sighed. "I know why you are doing this, Sully." Sully smiled slightly. "I'm doing this for my daughter, she keeps on asking to see Katie, so I just thought tonight would be a good time."

"Well." Bosco said, as he saw how excited his daughter looked. "Fine, we can go." Bosco said. Katie hugged Bosco. "I love you, Daddy..." Bosco grinned. "I love you too. sweetiepie. Are you sure you want to do this tonight, I know you have a busy day at the zoo with Grandma."

Katie smiled. "It's a sleep- over.. that is where you sleep." Bosco stroked his daughter's black hair. She looked so much like her mother; he misses April so much right now. " You go and get your stuffed animal and pick out your clothes for tomorrow."

Sully looked at Katie. "At least you don't need to change, you already in your Dora pajamas." Katie looked down at the pajamas. "Daddy pick this for me."

Sully grinned at Bosco. "Oh he did."

"He wanted me to have Spongebob, but I want Dora." Katie said, with a smiled, as she run into her room. Bosco looked at Sully. "I know you are doing this because you don't want me alone tonight, but I will be fine."

Sully grinned. "Why would I do that? Gwen wants to see Katie, I couldn't really say no to my daughter could I?" Sully said, as he placed a hand on Bosco's shoulder. Bosco nodded. " I guess you couldn't, but the real reason was.."

"I'm your partner, I'm there for you."

Bosco watched as his daughter ran out of the room with her backpack, with this big smile on her face. All Bosco wanted to do was sit in a bar, drink a beer, and try to forget about what today was, but he had a daughter to think about, and what would make her happy and if that means sleeping over at Sully's, then that is exactly what he is going to do.

"You're ready." Bosco said, as he walked up to Katie. She nodded. Bosco then grabbed her jacket and boots, and put them on her. He then grabbed his jacket and keys. He then grabbed a hold of Katie's hand. "I love you,"

"Love you too, Daddy." Katie said, as they all left the apartment.

FBI Bureau

A man was looking over the files, when an FBI agent walked in the room. "You wanted to see me?"

"What do you know about the Maurice Boscorelli case from four years ago?" the man asked the agent. She looked at him. "I wasn't involved in that case, but I saw about it on the news the police officer that killed his wife, but says that he doesn't remember anything about it, there was a mis-trial due to the detective making a mistake. Why are you asking me about that now?"

"There is some new evidence that we just got today that could put him in jail." The agent nodded. "So why are you telling me this, why aren't you arresting him now?"

The man smiled slightly. "I don't want any mistakes this time, I want him to be caught for real this time. You are the best FBI Agent that we have. I want you to go to New York and go undercover and get him to trust you and then he will spill everything about killing his wife."

"What if he didn't do it?" the agent said.

The man throws the file into the agent's face. "Does that look like someone who didn't murder his wife? His fingerprints are all over the gun, that was laying next to her. The gun that she was killed with."

"It says here that she was stabbed too, so what are you telling me that he stabbed her and shot her, why would he do that?"

"Because he's a cold-blooded killer. We know that he did it as we got the knife that killed his wife with his fingerprints still on it has been found, why are you just getting this information now."

"I don't know, a detective from his precient told me that he knew that he did this, and wanted my help, so I went over the evidence again and that is when I found the knife and the fingerprints, I don't know why, but whoever did this investigation miss it the first time. I know that his lawyer will find someway to get him out of his, but if he is confesses to you, we got him. Can you do that, Agent Mitchell?"

She sighed. "What do you want me to do?"

"All I want you to do is go undercover at the preicent that he works at and pretending you are an officer, can you?

Agent Mitchell nodded. "Of course I can do that." Her boss smiled at her. "I thought you would say that. I would get everything ready for you. You will leave tomorrow morning, so you better go get packed.

She nodded, as she left the office. She sighed to herself. She just hopes she knows what she got herself into, last time she went undercover, she nearly got herself killed. But what she didn't know was this assignment was going to change her life forever.
