A/N: This story starts off a lot like the recent episode but won't be the
Whole story.
The Truth?
Faith walked down the hallway, she was looking for one specific person.
"Hey Larry." She said.
"Yokas. What are you lost?" Larry asked.
"No I was just in the neighbourhood." She answered.
"Doing what?" He asked.
"Can I ask you something?" She asked.
"So you weren't just in the neighbourhood." He said. Faith nodded her
head.
"You qualified a few weeks ago down at the range, I talked to Vince down
there." She said.
"Yeah." Larry said.
"So uh you got the lowest scores you ever had."
"Yeah well I had a bad day."
"You're on the pistol team Larry."
"So I can't miss sometimes?" He questioned.
"You barely qualified. So Bosco was next to you on the line. So you know
what I'm thinking Larry, I'm thinking that maybe, I don't know, you helped
him out a little bit. Maybe you through some of your shots his way." Faith
said
"What is this?" Larry questioned.
"What do you mean?" Faith asked.
"What you have some beef with Bosco or something?" He asked
"He shot another cop Larry." Faith said her tone of voice growing harsher.
"What I hear a perp pushed her in the line of fire. It could happen to any of
us." Larry said.
"Yeah well any of us don't have trouble seeing out of our eye so that we
need somebody else to help us qualify." Faith said.
"Your looking to tripbag your ex partner over an accidental shooting of
some IAB rat bitch?" Larry questioned he was getting even angrier than he
already was before the run in with Faith.
"You help him qualify Larry?" Faith asked
"No." he answered.
"Well do you know anyone else that was there that day that might've
helped him?" Faith asked.
"Well all I know for anyone in the 55 is that Sergeant Cruz was there on
the otherside of Bosco. Maybe you should ask her and leave me the hell
alone. And Bosco's right you sure aren't the same Faith Yokas you used
to be." After he said that he walked away nodding his head back and forth.
Faith stood there in silence.
She couldn't believe what she had just heard, Cruz could be the one that
Helped him. Was what Larry said true or could he just want to get out of
The mess. She had to find out and fast. She left the building and headed
Back to the station.
When she got there she headed right up the stairs to confront Cruz.
"Hey Santiago can you give me and Cruz a minute?" She asked.
"Yeah sure." He said.
"Thanks." She said. She turned to Cruz.
"So what's up Faith?" Cruz asked.
"Oh not too much. I'm just looking into how Bosco got back onto the force
when he came to me a few weeks ago and said that he couldn't see
properly out of one of his eyes. You know anything about it Sarge?" Faith
asked.
Cruz got a worried look on her face. "Well why would I?" She asked.
"I don't know maybe because you were there the day he qualified and
were right beside him on the line. You didn't get to good did you. As a
matter of fact the last time I checked you had a great shot." Faith glared at
Cruz.
"Why would you think that I would help Bosco. I mean do you really think
that he would want me to help him. Are you really that stupid Yokas?"
Cruz questioned.
"No I just want answers." Faith replied.
"Yeah well find them somewhere else. Why don't you ask your old
partner, I'm sure he'd love to tell you since you two have gotten along
great lately." Cruz said sarcastically.
"What you two talk?" Faith questioned.
"No I over hear things." Cruz answered.
"So you've become a snoop." Faith said.
"I never said anything about being a snoop I was just there." Cruz said.
"Well whatever I've got to go." Faith said.
"Yeah you go find out that info I'm sure you'll get it right away." Cruz said.
Faith left the room and Cruz took out her cell phone and dialed a very
Familiar phone number. After a few rings the person picked up.
"Hey Bosco it's Cruz…. she knows."
"Cruz who knows?"
"Faith she some how found out."
"Awww shit!"
"How would she know who to ask?"
"Well Cruz did she say anyone's name who might have told her
something?"
"No she didn't but I can find out for you and call you back."
"That would be great."
"How's your shift going?"
"Ok Sully keeps questioning me about last night."
"You haven't told him anything have you?"
"No don't worry."
"Ok so I'll call you back when I get something."
"Ok thanks."
Bosco hung up the phone with a Damn it he couldn't believe that his
Old partner would do such a thing to him. Why would she want to hurt
Him like this? Why would she do such a thing to him when she knows
How much the job means to him? He had forgotten where he was until
Sully questioned the phone call.
"Sully it's none of your business ok?"
"Well Bosco I think it is my business cuz we're partners and you just got a
personal phone call during our tour in my car."
"Well seeing as you just said that we were partners then I guess that
would make it our car, not just yours."
"So are you ever going to tell me about last night?"
"Sully it's none of your damn business, ok?"
Bosco remembered the night before, he had promised Cruz not to tell
Anyone but Sully had seen it and he knew something was up with them.
Flashback
"See you guys later." Bosco said as he left the locker room.
"Hey Bosco wait for me I need to talk to you about something." Cruz said.
"Ok." They walked out together.
"You haven't told anyone about the range have you?" she questioned. It
worried Bosco because Faith already knew that he was having trouble
seeing out of his right eye.
"No, not the part about you helping me. Faith knew before I came to you. I
went to her first remember. She is gonna have her suspicions."
"Ok well as long as she doesn't find out we should be safe. This could ruin
our careers."
"Why are you even helping me after all I said to you?"
"I feel like I owe it to you." They were outside of the station now. "I mean I
was the one who caused your brother's death and it was also my fault that
you got shot and now I just want to be able to help you and not be the one
causing all of your pain." Cruz now had tears falling from her face.
"It wasn't your fault. None of it was, I have forgiven you."
"Really?"
"Yes I have. You know the first thing I asked the nurse to do when I woke
up?"
"What?"
"Make sure that Sergeant Cruz was ok."
"You wanted me to be ok?"
"Yes of course I did. I've loved you ever since I met you just certain
actions and people got in the way. Nothing will change the way I feel
about you."
"I love you too Bosco!" Cruz and Bosco's heads slowly leaned in their lips
meeting. Bosco loved it, he hadn't been with a girl since he and Cruz
broke up and that was very unusual for a guy like him. He loved the way
her lips tasted. Something interrupted their moment. Sully came walking
down the stairs from the station.
"Bosco? Sergeant Cruz? What are you doing?"
"We were just talking." Bosco said.
"You two having a civil conversation?" Sully questioned. They were
doomed.
"Yeah so what? That too much of a shocker for you?" Cruz asked.
"Whatever. See you two later." He walked away.
"Please don't tell anyone about us." Cruz said.
"Ok but do you want to come to my place?" Bosco asked.
"Yeah."
When they got into Bosco's apartment they immediately began stripping
Off each others clothes and within seconds they began making love.
Bosco carried Cruz into the bedroom softly kissing her neck. He laid her
Down on the bed his arms feeling through her soft hair. He started moving
Slowly down stopping at her breasts. She cried out with pleasure as he
Touched them. He them began moving down even more to her area he
Looked up asking for her permission to enter, she nodded her head as he
Entered her. She cried out again with pleasure. They rolled over making
Cruz on top. She felt her way up and stopped at his nipples. He moaned in
Pleasure.
The next morning Cruz awoke remembering the night before. She couldn't
Believe that they were together again. Bosco woke up seeing Cruz looking
Out the window she was just barely wearing a robe.
"Morning Ritza."
"Hey…last night was…ughh…better than before…it was amazing."
"Well I try." Cruz just laughed at Bosco's response.
End of flashback
"Bosco what is going on with you and Cruz. Don't you dare lie to me?"
Sully asked.
"Nothing ok we're just friends."Bosco answered. " The shift's almost over
head back to the station."
"Fine." Sully said.
After a few minutes of driving Bosco's phone rang again. He anxiously
Answered it.
"Hey Bosco. All she told me was that she found out about me by talking to
Larry he was on the other side of you on the line that day."
"Aww damn do you think that she would consider you to be one that helped me?" Bosco asked.
"I don't know but she's getting so suspicious I think she may even go to the boss." Cruz said. She was very worried for Bosco.
"Well were on our way in we'll talk when we get there." Bosco said.
"Ok bye." Cruz said.
Bosco hung up the phone terrified for what was to come. Would Faith really go to the boss and tell him about him cheating to get back on the force?
When Sully and Bosco arrived back at the station, Bosco ran up the stairs to anti-crime.
"Cruz?" Bosco asked. "Is she really going to do this to me?" The fear in his eyes was noticeable to Cruz.
"No because I went down to the range and sorted it all out. Bosco she'll have no proof that anyone helped you." Cruz answered.
"You really did that for me?" Bosco asked. He was so grateful for all of Cruz's help in this. He almost couldn't believe that she was helping him.
"Of course I would." Cruz replied.
"Thank you so much." Bosco leaned in and hugged Cruz. They didn't know it but as they hugged Faith came in the doorway.
"So I guess you two are chummy again?" She questioned.
"Whatever Faith I don't give a damn what you think anymore Faith." Bosco said as he detached himself from his embrace with Cruz.
"Well you better remember that cuz I've decided to go to the boss." Faith said.
"Yeah well you have fun with that." Bosco said. Him and Cruz walked away from Faith and headed to the locker room together.
As they left the station to men in suits came up to them.
"Maritza Cruz and Maurice Boscorelli you're under arrest." They cuffed them and took them away in the van. Faith stood outside the station watching.
"Faith what just happened?" Ty asked.
"They finally got caught." She answered.
