The night seemed calm for once as Bosco sat in his RMP watching the streets with Yokas. They really hadn't spoken much that evening. There had been a lot going on and neither one really wanted to go there. Bosco tapped in rhythm on the steering wheel, beginning to drive Yokas over the edge.
"Really, Bosco?"
"What?" He said wondering what he seemed to have done wrong this time.
"Enough with the tapping." Yokas snapped. Her and Fred finally signed the papers ending their estrange marriage. She had a lot on her mind and she needed piece and quiet.
"Are you PMS-in?" He asked with a half grin.
"If I was, I seriously doubt you'd still be sitting there." She turned her attention back to the street on her side of the car.
Bosco could tell that she was upset and he felt bad for her. She had tried so hard to keep her marriage together but Fred wasn't exactly a good guy. "So, what do you say we go out for drinks after the shift?"
Yokas didn't respond. She just stared into the darkness around her.
He nudged her arm a little. "C'mon, it'll be fun. Just like old times." He insisted.
She glanced over at him. "Fine." She said given in. No matter how much he annoyed her sometimes, she never could stay mad at him.
Bosco settled back in his seat resting his head on the head rest, just waiting for the end of the shift. He hated slow nights. He'd rather be out chasing people through back alleys, risking his life to make the streets a better place.

Yokas opened the door to her apartment. It was three in the morning and Bosco had had a little too much to drink as usual. She helped him over to the sofa, were she just let him fall.
"Your a nice girl." He stammered out. "Your pretty, you got my back. I got yours."
"That's right. Now you get some rest we have to work tomorrow." She said as she took the throw from the back of the sofa and leaned down to tuck him in.
Bosco reached up placing his hand behind her the back of her head. "Fred… he didn't deserve you." He stated as he leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips.
At first Yokas didn't resist. It had been a long time since a man kissed her like that. His lips were soft and warm, and she had only imagined what it would feel like to kiss him, but she was married to Fred and she would never do that to him. Suddenly she stopped. She didn't wont to be another notch in his belt, another one night stand because he was drunk. "Bosco, your drunk." She said in a soft tone.
He pulled her down on top of him. "I've wanted this for a long time." He said as he begin to kiss her again. This time he slowly begin to take off her top. His heart racing like never before. He lifted her up, laying her backwards onto the sofa, as he climbed upon her.
"Bosco,…" Yokas said part of her knowing that she should stop him, she could only imagine the awkwardness they would feel in the morning, but the other half of her had longed for her partner for a long time. "What about tomorrow?"
Bosco stopped kissing her chest and looked into her teary eyes. "I'll still be here."
Yokas smiled as her heart felt warmth within. She lifted off his black t-shirt that hugged his chest so tightly. As their bodies entwined with one another, both of them letting go of a deep wanting for one another.
************************************************************************
The next morning Yokas woke to find no sign of Bosco. She sighed at the thought that he would just use her for a one-night pleasure. She heard the door open and she sat up, quickly tucking the throw around her chest.
"Good morning, sleepy head." Bosco said with two bags from the local café in his hands.
"Bosco?" She said happy that he had returned.
He walked over and kissed her softly on the lips, before he entered the kitchen. "Why are you hiding behind the throw? I've seen all your goodies last night." He grinned.
She walked into the kitchen behind him still holding onto the throw. "I hope you've got coffee." She stated.
He took two cups with lid from one of the bags. "I was gonna cook but obviously you haven't made it to the grocery store lately."
"Yeah, I've been meaning to do that."
"Maybe we could go together." He said looking at her as if it was the first time that he had ever seen her.
She was so nervous that the room would be full of awkwardness the night before, but now it just all seemed right. She walked over to him opening the throw as if to invite him into her arms. "Maybe, or maybe we could stay in and I don't know,…" She said as she reached out to udo his belt.
He scratched the back of his head. "I think we need to stay in." He said as kissed her on the neck, slowly they make their way down to the floor.
************************************************************************
The afternoon meeting started like every meeting. Everyone was briefed on the top story's before heading out to the streets. It had been a little over a month since Bosco and Faith slept together. They decided to keep it just between them and to slow down a little. Especially since Emily had moved in with her mom.
"Okay, guys lets head out." The captain said. "Monroe your riding with Bosco."
Bosco stood up. "What? Where's Yokas?"
"I don't know she didn't show up. I sent Davis and Sully to check on her."
Bosco headed towards the door. He was worried about Faith. She had never missed a day of work. Monroe followed quickly behind him. He didn't say a word as he got into his car.
************************************************************************
Bosco sat in his RMP. His mind wandering all the possible reasons why she wouldn't be at work.
"I need a paramedic to…" Sully said over the PA. "…Apartment 237 on Aves Street. Off duty officer down."
Bosco looked over at Monroe. "Faith,…"
He switched on his lights and made his way into the crowded street.
