Desperate Measures
Summary: Angst/Drama
Disclaimer: I do not own any Third Watch characters except for Meghan Boscorelli. My stories take place towards the end of Season 6, but before "Goodbye to Camelot."
After years of physical and emotional abuse by her husband, Meghan Boscorelli runs away to New York in order to seek help to get away from her husband for good. Her husband will do anything to take his wife home and harm anyone who gets in the way.
Chapter 1
A well-dressed young woman who look to be in her early thirties rushes into the 55th Precinct. Her name is Meghan Phillips, wife to a powerful senator in the South. She looks to be upset about something when she rushes up to the front desk. Lt. Lou Swersky looks at the young woman wondering what could be wrong that has this woman terrified.
"Can I help you with something?" he asks her.
"I have to find Officer Maurice Boscorelli. It's extremely important that I find him right away." she replies.
Lou wonders to himself why this woman needs to find Bosco in such a hurry. Although most of the things that Bosco does, Lou would really not care to know.
This woman on the other hand, Lou found that there was just something familiar about her. He wanted to know more.
"Please, I don't have too much time" begged Meghan.
"Officer Boscorelli and Officer Monroe are out on patrol duty. Is there something we can do for you?"
"No, it has to be Officer Boscorelli. He's the only one who can help me" replies Meghan.
"Can you tell me why Officer Boscorelli is the only one to help you?" Lou asked her.
"You don't understand. My husband is a powerful person. When he finds me, I'll be better off dead. Maurice is the only one who can help me because... He's my brother."
Bosco had a sister, Lou can't remember Bosco ever mentioning having a younger sister. It didn't surprise Lou. Bosco wasn't one to talk about personal things to anyone, except for Faith Yokas.
"I'll call for Bosco to come back to the precinct. In the meantime, you can wait in my office."
Lou notices that Sergeant Maritza Cruz is walking down the stairs.
"Cruz" yells Lou. "Can you please take this young woman up to my office so she can wait for Bosco?"
"Sure, Lou." replies Cruz.
Lou turns back and looks to Meghan.
"Sergeant Cruz will show you up to my office. Don't worry. You're husband won't be able to come near you." Lou reassures Meghan.
Meghan walks over to Cruz.
"Follow me" Cruz tells Meghan.
Meghan follows Cruz up the stairs and down the hall towards Lou's office. Officer Maurice Boscorelli and Sasha Monroe are sitting in their squad car in front of a local cafe. Bosco is sitting in the driver's seat and Sasha is sitting in the passenger's seat. They are both eating burgers with fries and a soda. They hear Lou on the radio calling for them.
"55-David."
Sasha puts down her soda and picks up the mick.
"55- David" replies Sasha.
"You have been asked to respond back to the station. Someone is here who wishes to speak to Boscorelli."
"10-4" replies Sasha.
Sasha replaces the mick and looks at Bosco.
"So, what did you do now?" she asks him.
"Damned if I know" he says.
He couldn't remember doing anything to get in trouble. Usually that was the only time someone wanted to talk to him. That and if someone he loved was in danger. He started the car and drove off towards the 55 wondering who could want to talk to him.
