"She has been here all this time under your nose for 2 years. For God sake, she had been a police officer, a sergeant, infamous one and nobody, I repeat NOBODY has recognized her! What the hell you've been doing, eating donuts and drinking coffee, huh?"- Bosco flied into rage and smashed the photo down on the table. To be honest he was furious with himself for… yeah for what? He didn't know, let alone hope that she was alive. He just came to terms with the fact that she wasn't here any longer.
"For God sake we are talking about Cruz here, it's just typical of her to mess with everything and everybody. Of course, she wouldn't have just died like that it was far too simple. And she appeared in the least expected way and time. Working with the most powerful drug dealer? Great, just fucking great."- Every word of his speech infuriated Bosco more and more. He slammed the wall with his fists.
"Whoa, Bosco calm down, you are going to hurt yourself. We still don't know what happened and how she escaped."- Davis tried to soothe Bosco.
"Will somebody enlighten me?"- Bradley was clueless.
"Or more importantly why she didn't contacted us…somebody, anybody. Her work was everything she had. Just let bygones be bygones and move on? Who are we talking about? It's Cruz, the never giving-up, revengeful, intimidating, stubborn, infuriating, selfish…."- Bosco was not paying attention to anybody as he was seething with rage.
"Yeah, we know what she was … is like. Now we should think what to do next to find out what happened."- Davis sounded unsure.
"Will somebody tell me what the hell is going on?"- Bradley's shout drew their attention.
"Oh yeah, with pleasure. You see the girl on this picture, you have no foggiest idea who she is. It's not some damn Becky or whatever you called her. This is Maritza Cruz, ACU Sergeant from 55. She blew herself and 70 other criminals off and supposedly died in explosion. And now she resurfaces with new identity working for this drug dealer. Son of a bitch! I should have known."- Bosco twisted his face in grimace.
"What!"- all except Bosco looked disoriented.
"I have been so dumb and naïve."- Bosco gave a bitter laugh." And they say you learn from your mistakes."
"What are you talking about?"- Davis was dumbfounded.
"Are you playing numb or don't you get it, huh? She planned everything; she is probably working with FBI, CIA, ASPCA or some other goddamn department on this case. Just like with Noble. I'm gonna make her pay for every single day of this sick game of hers."-Bosco's tone changed from ironic to threatening.
"Are you nuts or just out of your senses? Why the hell would she do that?"- Finney didn't exactly know the complexities of Bosco and Cruz's relationship and hot it all ended in tears with shooting in hotel room.
"Because she didn't want anybody to meddle into this and screw it up, particularly Bosco. Especially after what happened in that hotel room with Faith. She doesn't make the same mistake twice. Play me once, shame on you. Play me twice, shame on me. Or something like that, right Bosco?"- Davis tried to explain it to Finney without giving too much.
"Yeah and I won't let her play me once again. The moment I see her I promise you she is dead. And I make sure she suffers just like I did for this two years."
"Stop making threats because we don't know the truth. Maybe somebody forced her or something happened such as…"- Davis couldn't finished as Bosco cut in.
"Such as what, UFO kidnapped her, brainwashed her and made her sell drug as a part of research whether it is possible to turn cop, whose all life was to clean the streets out of drugs into a dealer. And Cruz and forced doesn't mix. Are you totally insane Davis!" – the last part was shouted by Bosco.
"Maybe we should pay her a visit and ask her about it?"- Bradley suggested in a calm voice.
"And how are you gonna do this super-cop, huh?"- Bosco's emotions started to wear off.
"It's simple, she is owner of a bar and disco. It belonged to Fuentes or Cruz, as you call her and Kelly Parker, Sanchez's girlfriend. When the latter died Cruz became the only owner. She is a good manager and takes care of it. It's a small, pleasant, pretty expensive bar in neighbourhood. Let's a have a break, hmm?"- Bradley wanted to know what was going on, the sooner the better.
"So what the hell are we waiting for?"- with that Bosco stormed out of the room. And the gang went after him.
