CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS
Note: Like I'm French, I haven't seen the 3rd and 4th season so excuse me if there are some things which are not really trust…
Thanks to Neko who corrected my mistakes :o)
Summary: 2 Days after have slept with Cruz, Bosco realizes that she used him. He goes to her to have explanations but that turns to the vinegar…
***
Bosco: Excuse me?
Cruz: Oh! That's good! You really believed that I slept with you because I had feelings for you? Stop dreaming. You're a nice guy, handsome, but I don't see why you bother trying.
Bosco: You used me!
Cruz: Why, because you've never slept with a woman just for the pleasure?
Bosco: That's not what I'm talking about! This afternoon, I heard your conversation with that guy Moterson. You were very cunning for him to believe your bullshit. "Morty, sweetie, you'll be doing me a huge favor…"
Cruz: And?
Bosco: Just before you talked to Williams on the phone. You slept with me just so you would have an alibi? Tell me the truth.
Silence.
Bosco: Cruz!
Cruz: Oh, great! I just wanted to help a friend!
Bosco: Really? To accuse an innocent man of a murder he didn't commit?
Cruz (pleading): Listen to me, please! The man who was killed was a trafficker. He was killed by an important cop, ok? And it was, and IT always IS out of question for a cop to go down for killing someone who deserved it.
Bosco (shocked): So under the justification that he was a dealer, your protégé cop, who, between us, has made a good enough impression in bed to warrant your protection, is under the cover of the law? He believes himself to be better then everyone, that he has the right to kill a man?
Cruz: It was an accident!
Bosco: An accident? You were involved?
Silence (once again)
Bosco: I don't believe this! You were involved and you covered this… this mess?
Cruz: I swear to you Bosco, it was an accident.
Bosco: And the body?
Cruz: Dumped in the ocean.
Bosco: Dumped? WHAT! Oh, that's the last straw.
Cruz: Please, try to understand.
Bosco: I understand completely! One of your guys killed a man, and not only did you get rid of evidence, you, you covered for him. Tell me the truth, why did you need to sleep with me, huh?
Cruz: I… it was not premeditated.
Bosco: Oh, I see!
Cruz: Ronnie called me at 2am. You didn't hear anything, you were sleeping…
Bosco: Because it's Ronnie? This just gets better and better!
Cruz: Calm down.
Bosco: Calm down? You've just acknowledged that you're an accomplice to a murder and you want me to calm down???
Cruz: It was for your own good.
Bosco: Tell me one thing. The drug addicted girl, the one who was with us and died in the warehouse, was she really you sister? You kill her too?
Cruz: You know that's not true. I didn't kill her! And yes, she was my sister… and I loved her!
Bosco: Love? You? You only love yourself!
Bosco turns and picks up the phone beside him. Cruz explodes in anger.
Cruz (very irritated): What are you doing?
Bosco: I'm calling the precinct.
Cruz: You're what? Stop! Now!
Bosco: You can't tell me this stuff and expect me to keep it to myself.
Cruz (testing the card of the friendship): I told you because I trust on you.
Bosco: Enough to sleep with me?
Bosco turns to the phone and starts dialing 911 when Cruz, overcome with anger and despair, takes her gun and points it at Bosco. A rattling sound indicates a charged weapon.
Cruz (trembling): Freeze!
Bosco (turn over): What? What are you doing? Are you going to shoot me?
Cruz: If I have to!
At the end of the line, a familiar voice…
Lieu: 55th precinct.
Bosco: You won't shoot me.
Cruz: Really? You don't know me.
Bosco: That's right. I only hope that you realize what you're doing.
Lieu (listening the conversation and recognizing the voices): Bosco?
Bosco (telephone still in his hand): Put your gun down!
Cruz: Not going to happen.
Bosco: Do you realize what you've done? Having one body on your conscience is not enough? You want a second?
Cruz looks at Bosco, her gun still pointed at him when her determination disappears. Bosco looks at her, smiling softly, and puts the telephone to his ear. Cruz starts to lower her weapon. A gun shot rings out.
