FYI-I am English so some spellings or sayings may be off!
Ok then on with the story. . . . .
"Roll call, 5 minuets! And Boscorelli, you seen your partner anywhere?"
"You got me, boss"
"She better get here soon or shell be late!" That's not like Faith, she's always here, or she at least calls in. Just then she walks through the door looking like shit.
"Holy shit Faith, no offence but you look like crap" Damn, that didn't come out right!
"You know, you really do have a way with words, don't you Boz!" Faith snapped back.
"Sorry Boz, im just tired."
"You wanna talk 'bout it"
"Its.its nothing.don't worry" Yea right, nothing, that's why she's so pale she's nearly transparent. I swear to god if that asshole of o so called husband has laid a finger on her I'll.
"Come on Boz, or where gonna be late" I haddent even realised that I was just standing there!
"Yea Boz, do as your mama says, you don't wanna get grounded do you?"
"d'you know what Ty, why don't you shut your big mouth, your nothing but a poncy jag-off!" That man really winds me up sometimes!
"Now, now, children. Come on Boz, we betta get goin, you don't wanna b late AGAIN, do you?"
Later on in their shift, bosco and faith were parked up in one of their usual spots.
"Come on Boz, spill it. I know there's something bothering you, you've been staring out the window at the same spot for the last 10 minuets, and to be honest it's getting REAL old, REAL quick."
"Faith.about this morning.well I just.ahhh.well I didn't mean it.you know what I said.I was just worried about you, and as usual my mouth got ahead of my brain.and you know.im sorry" Damn why cant I just get my brain and my mouth to work together for a change!
"Its ok Boz, like I said, im just tired."
"You sure?"
"Yeah.yeah I am" I know she's lying to me, she couldn't even look me in the eyes as she was talking. Doesn't she know she can tell me anythin?
"Yokas.Faith.Come on, its me, you know you can tell me anything right? Iv worked with you for like 8 years, I know when there's something upsetting you."
"I know, it's just."
"Come on faith, you can tell me" its now that I see the silent tears she's started to shed. She looks deep into my eyes, as if trying to judge whether or not to tell me.
"Faith." I gently pushed her. Now her tears are flowing unchecked. In the 8 years iv known faith iv never seen her this upset over anything. She's gotta tell me whets goin on, she's gotta trust me enough to do that!
Its.Its Fred.He's drinking again.he got really drunk last.last night.he threw things.smashed things.said.said he was gonna take the kids.not let me see them.please Bosco.please say he cant do that to me.don't let him do it!" Faith finally said 'between desperate sobs. Im tellin you im gonna kill that bustard, how can he treat such a warm, beautiful woman like faith like a piece of shit he scraped off his shoe!
"Shhhh, Faith, its ok. I wont let it happen Faith, I promise" I reassure her as I put my arm around her shoulders. She leans over to my side of the car now and rests her head on my shoulder. We sit like this in comfortable silence for about ten minuets, until Faith had calmed down.
"You know what Boz, this is the side of you that you don't let many people see, this is the side of you that I lo."
"55-David, this is Central, we have a robbery in progress, 25th and Anderson"
"10-4 Central, this is 55-David responding, ETA is 4 minuets" Damn, bad timing or what!
"We'll talk about this later, ok faith" I say as I look deep into her troubled eyes. All I get in reply is a sheepish nod.
Later that night
"Faith, you wanna lift home" I keep askin her this in the hope that one day she might accept my help.
"You know what Boz? Id love that" Wow, did I just hear right? We drive to faiths in comfortable silence, but as we near her building she starts to fidget and starts to look more and more nervous.
"Faith.you ok?"
"Yea.I mean no.I mean.its just I don't feel safe you know. Iv neva been on my own in the apartment at night, and my heads all screwed up, what with Fred and.well everything. I just don't feel safe on my own." She says nervously
"And the apartment kinda gives me the creeps when its empty." she adds so softly its almost inaudible. I can see the fear in her eyes, and something else aswell, sadness.
"Ill come up with you, you know, if you want?"
"Id like that Boz" she says softly. Iv neva seen Faith look so vulnerable before, she's like a small child crying out for a little love and care. It just goes to show what living with an animal like Fred can do to even the strongest of people. Faith should have kicked hiss ass to the curb years ago. A woman like Faith deserves better, ALLOT better, than that ass. As faith goes to unlock her door she starts to physically shake, she looks terrified and I don't know why. It all becomes clear as she opens the door why she is so upset.
"Oh my god, what did he do Faith.I swear to god." The place looks like a war zone. There's smashed glass and crockery covering the floor. The TV's got a hole in it, there's food all over the floor, and the walls swell! The whole room was either upside down of broken. First of all I felt a surge of anger towards Fred, but stronger than that is my concern for Faith.
"What the hell happened here faith?"
"We were.we were just having dinner and he just.just flipped." Silent tears started to cascade down her cheeks again.
"He started throwing things.anything he could get his hands on.then he said he was gonna take.take the kids.he cant Bosco.please say he cant!" she sobbed, her knees buckling in despair. Without thinking about it I pulled her into a tight hug.
"shhhh, Faith, he wont do that, I promise you I wont let him do that" At this moment in time I would do anything to protect the vulnerable woman in my arms. Withought thinking about it I pressed my lips to her forehead to try and reassure her. Just as I was about to move my mouth away, Fred stepped through the door.
"AND WHAT IN THE HELL MIGHT I ASK IS THIS? What are YOU doing with MY wife Boscorelli!?
"Im helping MY best friend, after HER ass of a husband threatened to take her kids and trashed her apartment! What are YOU doing Fred?"
"Get out of my home NOW Boscorelli!"
"And what if I say no!" Im not gonna let him push me around after what he did to Faith. Faith still hasn't let go of me, she seems petrified. Im not gonna leave her now, I cant.
"This is what im gonna do Officer Boscorelli!" Fred says to me as he points the barrel of a gut right at me.
