Chapter 7
Bosco followed the detectives outside as they put Faith in the squad car. "I'm coming with you." he said.
The detective looked at Bosco. "I don't think so, she's just like the criminals we arrest, and she's not getting special treatment because she's a police officer."
"Don't talk about her like that." Bosco hissed, glaring at the other man.
Faith looked at Bosco. "Its fine, Bosco, you are only going to make it worse."
"You should listen to your homicidal girlfriend."
Apparently in no condition to hold his temper, Bosco fired out, connecting a punch with the side of the detective's face. Someone else jumped forward, doing what they could to hold Bosco back.
"Well it looks like you are going to get to ride with your girlfriend after all, in handcuffs." The detective said.
"Don't." Sasha said, as she came up to them. "He's just upset; it's not going to do any good, having him in jail."
"But he hit me!" The detective protested.
Sasha looked at him. "I'm sure that you provoked him-"
"I know these are just friends, but…"
"No buts Harrison, I know how you are; you have Faith. So don't try and get Officer Boscorelli arrested too." Sasha said, sternly.
"Fine," Harrison said.
"Let's go." he said, as he pushed Faith into the back seat.
Once the door was closed, she look at Bosco through the glass, trying to hold in tears at the look on his face. He had the chance to mouth the words "I love you" before the car pulled away from the curb, taking Faith with it.
"Let me take you to the station." Sasha said softly, placing a hand on Bosco's arm.
Bosco spun around, shrugging off her touch. "I don't want anything from you. Are you happy now that you got Faith arrested?"
"She did the crime-"
"So how long have you been a rat? Have you been spying on the precinct since the beginning?"
Sasha looked at Bosco with a sad look. "I never want any of this to happen, but I had to do this."
"No you didn't." Bosco said, as he walked away from Sasha, leaving her to wonder if she did the right thing.
Lieu was working on the desk when he saw Faith being brought in by two detectives. He couldn't' believe his eyes. Slamming the report binder closed, he narrowed his eyes at the detectives. "What is this?"
"This has nothing to do with you" the detective said. "This is in an IAB investigation."
"This has everything to do with me when it is one of my best police officers. What happened Faith?" he asked, looking directly at her.
She looked at him. "I…. can't talk about this."
"Well at least tell me what the charges are?" Lieu asked the detective.
"First degree murder of Donald Mann."
Lieu scrunched up his face. "Well IAB already knows that she killed him to save Cruz's life."
"That is all I can give you," the detective said, as he walked off with Faith. Lieu didn't know what to say to that, he was shell-shocked about the whole thing. He then saw Bosco running inside the station.
"I need to see Faith, she was arrested."
"I know that Bosco," Lieu said, raising his hands in an attempt to gain Bosco's attention. "I need to know what happened," Bosco looked at Lieu, seeming unsure what to say. "I'm not asking you as a boss, I'm asking you as a friend,"
Bosco looked at him. "We need to talk in private then."
"We can talk in my office." Lieu said, turning and starting towards the stairs. Bosco followed, swallowing hard as he entered the small room, closing the door behind him.
Bosco knew that he shouldn't say anything, but he needed to talk. "This has to say in this room."
Lieu nodded. "I just need to know as a friend why Faith has been arrested for a murder that happened 2 years ago. We all know that she killed Mann, so what is this all about?"
Bosco walked over to the window. "I'm supposed to always be there for her. She is my partner and my fiancé but I couldn't stop."
Lieu walked up to Bosco. "Tell me," he said, as he put his hand on Bosco's arm.
Bosco turned around. "She did this because of me."
"She did what?"
"Killed for me." .
Lieu looked at Bosco. "I know Faith killed Mann, but that was because she was saving Cruz's life, it had nothing to do with you."
"That's not true." Bosco said.
Lieu looked at Bosco. "I don't understand what you are telling me."
"I shouldn't even been say anything to you." Bosco said. Lieu grabbed a chair and sat next to Bosco.
"Just talk to me."
"Tell you what, that the whole reason that she is arrested is because of me." Bosco whispered.
"What do you mean?" Lieu questioned him again.
"What if I told you that Faith committed murder because of me, she didn't care about her family or her kids all she cared about was getting revenge for me?" Bosco said. " That she didn't kill to save Cruz, but to get revenge for me. What would you say to me?" Bosco said, as his voice started to get louder and louder.
"I don't understand, Bosco." Lieu said.
"That I'm the whole reason that she is arrested and could spend the rest of her life in jail, what would you say to me then?" Bosco's voice was in a full-blown shout and he swallowed hard, looking to the floor.
Without another word, he stood from his chair and wrenched the office door open, disappearing down the hallway and leaving a very perplexed Lieu alone in his office.
Bosco walked up to the interrogation room where Faith was being held, he opened the door.
"I need to see her."
"Officer Boscorelli, this is my investigation, I'll tell you when you can see her." Decective Harrison said.
Bosco walked into the room." Well you aren't going to get a lot done, seeing that Faith doesn't have her lawyer yet, or did you forget that when you become a decetive."
"She did the crime; she can't expect to get special treatment."
The other decetive looked at Harrison. "Let's leave them alone. It's not like we are going to get anything out of her today," the detective said, as he and Harrison walked out of the room.
Bosco sat down next to her, and put his hands on hers. She looked up at him. "You didn't have to come."
Bosco smiled at Faith. "Did you really think I'm going to leave you alone? I love you, Faith."
Faith looked at him sadly. "I love you too, Boz, but I don't know what to do."
"I'll get you out of this. We're partners; I'll always be there for you." Bosco said.
"If they have evidence against me, there is nothing you or I can do anything about it."
Bosco leaned over to touch her face when a police officer came in. "No touching, Bosco"
Bosco turned around. "You know us, Trent."
"Well I guess I didn't know Faith as well as I did, if she committed murder, instead of saving Cruz's life, like we thought she did. So she not only did she murder someone, she lie to us all. Did you know she lie to you?"
"Don't talk about her like she's not in the room."
Trent looked at them. "You have 5 minutes and that is it."
"Can we at least be alone?"
"Fine." Trent said, as he walked out of the room.
Bosco looked at Faith, and he saw that she had a tear falling down her cheek." 'Faith, honey, don't cry, it's all going to be okay."
"How can you say that?" Faith yelled. "I'm handcuffed like a criminal; I did the crime they said. How the hell I am going to get out of this, Boz. You tell me."
"We're been in stickier situations than this, Faith, and we got out of it okay, didn't we?" Bosco said, as he grabbed her hand. "It's going to be okay, I promise you that."
"I'm not sure that is a promise you can keep, Bosco. I just don't understand how this can happen."
Bosco suddenly got an idea. "I think I know what happened. If I'm right, I can get you out of this, before you know it." he said, as she jumped out of his chair.
"Boz. Don't do something stupid." She yelled as he left the room.
Bosco walked to the admitting desk and saw Lieu there. "Is Monroe still here?"
Lieu nodded. "The last I saw she went into the locker room."
"Thanks, boss." Bosco said, as he run towards the locker room, and saw Sasha sitting on the bench.
"Monroe." Bosco said, as he walked up to her. "We need to talk."
Sasha looked at Bosco. "There is nothing I can do about Faith if that is what you want to talk about."
"I think that is where you are wrong." Bosco yelled.
Sasha looked up at Bosco. "I'm sorry about Faith, I really am, I didn't want to do it, but I had to do, that's my job." She said, as she stood up and started to walk away.
"You hear us talking at my mom's place, didn't you? You were eavesdropping weren't you?"
Sasha turned around. "I didn't do on purpose."
"You didn't do it on purpose, what you were just hiding in the bushes because you like doing that. You wanted to get information so you could take it back to your boss. I guess you aren't a good detective because the evidence won't stay up in court."
"That's not the only thing we have, Bosco. I'm sorry, but Faith is going to jail, whether you like it or not."
"Don't you care one thing about Faith? She has two kids. Do you ever care about them losing their mother," Bosco yelled.
"She should have thought of that before she killed." Sasha shouted, as she walked out of the locker room with Bosco right behind her.
"How does it feel to rat out your friends, Sasha. "
Sasha turned around. "I was doing my job."
"Doing your job. I wonder how Ty would feel when he finds out his girlfriend is working with IAB and just helps get one of her so called friends arrested."
"Sasha, what's Bosco talking about?" said a voice. They both turned around and saw Ty standing in front of them.
"Do you want me to tell me or should you?" Bosco yelled. "I need to go and see Faith. I'll let you explain everything to Ty." Bosco then put his hand on Ty's shoulder. "I'm sorry, man." He said, as he walked away from Ty and Sasha.
Ty looked at Sasha with this confused look on his face. "What was Bosco going on about?"
Sasha took a deep breath, she knew that this day was going to come one day, but she never thought it was going to happen like this.
"Faith has been arrested for the murder of Mann, it seems like she didn't do it to save Cruz's life. Mann was handcuffed, and Faith just shot him because of Bosco, she did it out of revenge for him."
"I don't mean that, Sasha. I meant what did Bosco mean about you working for IAB, that can't be right."
Sasha looked down on the ground.
"Answer me, Sasha."
Sasha looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Yes, Ty I am working with IAB, but this doesn't change anything between us."
"Yes it does, Sasha. You lie to me. Did you help IAB arrest Faith?"
"I can't talk about that, Ty." She said, as she grabbed his hand.
"Don't touch me." TY said, as he pushed her hand away from his.
"I love you, Ty please understand why I did this."
Ty looked at her with this upset look on his face. "I don't know what to think right now, Sasha."
"Well why don't we go somewhere and talk about it."
"No, Sasha, I need to be on my own." Ty said, as he walked away from Sasha. Sasha sighed, as she watched Ty walk away, she knew that she had just lost the love of her life, and there wasn't anything she could do about it.
Lieu then come up to Sasha. "My office now."
Ty sat down on the bench, he wanted to go and see Faith, but he need to think about everything first. His mind was racing and crawling at the same time. Faith had killed Mann? For Bosco? He didn't know whether or not to be mad at her or congratulate her. What would I do in that situation? If Mann had hurt Sully...what would be my retaliation? Would I kill, or move on? Would I arrest him, or forget it?
There is no real answer for it, Ty thought as he put his hand on his face, and just sat there, trying to deal with everything that just happened right now, but mostly he was trying to figure out how Sasha lie to him for a long time, and he never realize it.
As Bosco walked towards Faith's room, a detective was standing out of the room. "You can't go in."
"I need to see her again."
"She is in with her lawyer now." Harrison said, as he came up to Bosco and the detective.
Bosco looked at Harrison. "Making out you care now, are we?"
Harrison shakes his head. "I never want this to happen, but this is our job, we have to take in these criminals."
"You know Faith is not a criminal."
"She killed someone and there is nothing you or I can do about it to help her. So why don't you just leave, there is nothing you can do now."
"There is no way, I'm leaving Faith, not now or ever." Bosco said, as he walked into the room.
"Sir, you can't be here." the lawyer said.
"He's my fiancée, he knows everything, so he can hear everything." Faith looked at Bosco. "This is Julie London, she is the lawyer that Lieu got for me. "
Bosco nodded, as he sat down.
Faith looked at Bosco. "I told her everything."
"You did what? Why?" Bosco yelled.
Faith looked at Bosco. "She needed to know everything."
Julie looked at Bosco. "She had to tell me so I could help her. It's going to take a lot, but I think I can get her out of this."
Bosco knew this was just lawyer talk, that she had no real proof that she could get Faith off.
There was a knock at the door. Bosco got up and open the door and saw Ty. The lawyer looked Faith. "I'll go and see if we can get you out tonight."
Faith sighed. She knew that there was no chance that she was going to be getting out tonight. "Thanks," Faith said, quietly to Julie as she left the room.
Ty walked up to Faith, and sat down next to her. "Is it true?"
Faith looked at Ty. "My lawyer said-"
"Faith, I'm not a stranger, I've been your friend for years. I just want to know if it is true."
Faith nodded her head. "But that is all I can say."
Ty looked at Faith. "I'm so sorry."
"Why are you sorry, you didn't do anything?" Faith said.
Ty stood up and walked to the door. "Yes I did, earlier, Sasha asked me if I knew that a friend did something illegal what would I do? I said that I would arrest the person, but I didn't know that it was you."
"What would you have said if you knew it was me?" Faith asked. "Would you have said the same thing?"
"I would have told Sasha to find out why you did it, because I know you aren't a killer, Faith?" Ty explained. "You did what you thought was the only way to deal with Mann. Do I think it was the right thing to do? I can't say, because I wasn't there. But if Mann had hurt Sully like he had hurt Bosco, I don't know what I would have done; I might have done the same thing."
Faith nodded. "I would do it again, if I had to."
"Don't talk like that, Faith." Bosco said.
Ty looked at Faith and Bosco. "I'm not going to tell anybody."
"Yeah, you should know that, Boz." Faith said, with a slight laugh.
Faith's lawyer then walked back into the room. "I couldn't get a bail hearing for tonight, so it looks like you will be staying in jail tonight."
"Isn't there anything you can do," Bosco asked.
Julie shook her head. "You know how the system works."
A police officer walked into the room. "Time to go to booking."
Faith looked at Bosco and Ty. "Everything's going to be okay." Bosco said, as they walked out of the room. Faith could see all eyes on her, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"There's nothing to seen here." Lieu yelled to his fellow officers. "Get back to work!"
Faith then turned around to Bosco who was standing behind her.
"Officer Yokas, move." the police officer.
"Let her say goodbye to Bosco." Lieu said, looking at the officer with disgust on his face.
"I shouldn't do that, she's a criminal," the officer said.
Lieu looked at her. "She is a fellow officer like you. She is innocent until proven guilty. Just let her do this."
"Fine." The officer said.
Faith moved towards Bosco, she hug him as best as she could. She then whispered into his ear. "Go talk to Charlie and Emily, I don't want them to hear this on the news."
"I will. " Bosco said. "I love you, Faith."
"I love you too." Bosco said, but before he could say anymore, the officer grabbed Faith.
"That's enough." He said, as he dragged Faith away from Bosco and Ty.
Bosco watched as they dragged Faith away, he wanted to just run after her and grabbed her and save her, like he has always has when they were in danger, but this time there was nothing that he could do to help her. He was helpless, and that was a feeling he didn't not like having. He watched as Faith turned her around, and looked at Bosco. He mouthed the words. "I love you." as she disappeared down the hallway.
Ty put his hand on Bosco's shoulder. "I know this is hard for you. She's going get out of this."
Bosco turned around. "I hope so, because I can't live without her. She's my life."
Lieu walked up to Bosco and Ty. "Do you need a ride home, Bosco? You shouldn't be on your own."
"I'm fine, boss, there is something I need to do for Faith. Then I'll be back." Bosco said.
Lieu looked at Bosco. "There is nothing you can do tonight; they are going to book her tonight. You won't be able to see her until tomorrow."
"I know that, but if she needs me-" Bosco protested.
"There is nothing you can do, Bosco." Lieu said. "Go home, and come back tomorrow, I'm not asking you, I'm telling you."
"Fine." Bosco said, as he walked away from Lieu, Ty run after him, as they left the precinct.
"Do you want me to take you home?" Ty asked.
Bosco shake his head. "I'm fine, Ty. I have to go and tell Faith's kids about what happened."
"Do you want me to come with you?" Ty asked Bosco, knowing how hard it will be.
Bosco smiled slightly. "Thanks, but I need to do it on my own." Bosco said, as they headed to his car.
"I understand, call me, if you need me for anything."
Bosco nodded, as he got into his car. Ty waved goodbye to him, and walked towards his car. When he got his car, he saw Sasha was standing there.
"What are you doing here?" Ty asked. "I don't want anything to do with you."
"I need you to understand why I did it." Sasha said. " I never wanted Faith to go to jail, but she did the crime and she needs to pay for this. But this doesn't have to end our relationship."
"She's not a cold blooded killer, Sasha. You couldn't even be bother to ask her why she did." Ty shouted.
"So you are saying what she did was right?" Sasha said.
"Who is to say what she did was right or wrong," Ty said, as he opened the door to his car, and climbed in. Sasha grabbed a hold of the door.
"Let go of the door."
"Ty, we need to talk about this." Sasha pleaded. "We can't let this ruin our relationship."
"There is no relationship anymore." Ty said. Sasha looked at him. "Are you really going to let this destroy what we have?"
"You didn't just rat a fellow cop and friend, you lie to me, Sasha. I have a thing about trust." TY said.
She then looked at him. "Why were you at the station anyhow?" Sasha questioned.
"I called your sister, because I wanted to check that everything was okay, you gave me her number a while ago. She told me that she hasn't talk to you for a few days. So I thought about what you said earlier, so I thought maybe you come to the station and work on the case, but I never thought it was going to end up like this. Just leave me alone." Ty said, as he closed the door.
Sasha step away from the car, as Ty drove away. Sasha sighed. She know that Ty might never forgive for this, there is nothing she can do about it. She thought as she walked towards her car.
Ty knocked at the door, waiting patiently for him to open the door. "Ty, what are you doing here?" Sully asked, as he opened the door. "Can't get enough of me tonight?" Sully said, as TY walked into the apartment.
"Do you want something to eat, or drink?" Sully said.
Ty shake his head. "There is something you need to know, Sully. You will find out this soon enough, but I thought you deserve to know now."
"What is it?" Sully asked.
Ty sat down on the couch. "Where should I start?"
"The beginning would be good." Sully replied, as he sat down next to Ty.
"Well let's see…my girlfriend is a rat, Faith has been arrested." Ty replied.
Sully looked at Ty with this confused look on his face. "Okay, you are going to have to slow down and explain it all to me."
Ty sighed. "Sasha is working for IAB, and she found out that Faith killed Mann when he was in handcuffs Cruz wasn't in danger, she did it to avenge what she thought was Bosco's murder."
Sully looked at Ty with this confused look on his face. "You got to be kidding me?"
Bosco took a deep breath as he got to Fred's apartment, this is one place he didn't want to be, but he told Faith he would do this, and that is what he is going to do. He knocked on the door, and Fred opened the door.
"What are you doing here?"
"I need to see Emily and Charlie." Bosco said.
"Where's Faith?" Fred asked. "Did she leave you?" he said with a laugh. "Were you not good enough for her, like I was?"
Bosco walked into the apartment." If you aren't going to get them for me, I'll just find them." Bosco said, as he walked into the apartment.
"This is not your apartment, you can't just walk in."
"I don't care." Bosco said. He then saw Charlie sitting in the living room, playing video games.
"Uncle Bosco." Charlie said, as he run towards Bosco, and pulled him into a hug. " Hey Charlie, is your sister here?"
Charlie nodded. "She's in her room."
"Could you get her for me?" Bosco said. Charlie looked at Bosco. "Is everything okay? Where's mom?"
"Don't worry about it," Bosco said. "I'm going to take the two of you home earlier than expected, as I need to talk to you two."
"There is no way you are taking my kids away from me." Fred shouted.
"I'm not taking your kids away from you," Bosco said. Emily and Charlie walked out of the room, and towards Bosco. Emily smiled at Bosco. " I didn't think I would see you tonight,and where's mom?" she asked.
"I'll explain it all to you soon."
"I said you're not taking my kids away." Fred shouted. Emily looked at Fred. " It's not like you were spending any time with us." Emily said, as she grabbed her jacket. She then walked up to Fred and hugged him. "I know you love us, dad, but don't make out you want us to stay. We come every few weeks, dad, and you don't care. You just say this because it's Bosco, and you don't like him. Well you bet get use to it, because Bosco is going to be in your life forever."
Bosco grinned slightly. Emily was acting just like Faith, and he loved it.
Charlie waved goodbye to Fred and then left the apartment.
They walked into the apartment, and everybody walked over to the couch and sat down.
Charlie looked at Bosco. "So are you going to tell us now why you need to talk to us?"
Bosco looked at Emily and Charlie. He didn't know how he was going to tell the kids about Faith been arrested, but he knew they deserve to know.
Bosco took a deep breath. "This is something that I need to tell the both of you"
"What is it?" Charlie asked.
"Your mom has been arrested." Bosco said. Emily looked at Bosco. "Arrested for what?"
"That is up to your mom to tell you, I don't think I should be the one to tell you that." Bosco said. "She just wanted you to know this before you find out from someone else."
"From someone else?" Emily repeated quietly, her voice small. "Bosco, please, what happened?"
"It's not my place-"
"Not your place?" Charlie stood from the couch, letting out a frustrated sigh. "Your gonna be our stepfather in a few months, Bosco…who else should tell us?"
"Your mother." Bosco replied softly, watching as Charlie paced the room. "This is something that she should tell you herself."
"Why?"
"Charlie-" Bosco shook his head, a helpless look on his face. "Trust me, ok?"
"Trust you?" The younger man's voice got loud as he rounded on his soon to be stepfather. "You want me to trust you?"
"I'm asking you to."
"Charlie-" Emily started, tears actually welling up in her eyes. "If Bosco says that it's better that we don't know, then we shouldn't know. He's never hurt us before."
"This is mom we're taking about, Emily. Mom…and she's been arrested. Do you not care why?"
"I never said that I didn't care!" She replied, tears finally leaking from her eyes. "I'm just saying that considering the circumstances, Bosco probably knows best!"
"To hell with you and who knows best!" Charlie said loudly, waving her off. "If you wanna sit here and feel stupid and not know what the hell is going on, you go right ahead…but I won't!"
Grabbing his back-pack off of the coffee table, Charlie headed to the door, slamming it shut behind him as he left. Emily jumped slightly at the noise, and sighed, resting her head in her hands. "I'm sorry Bosco, he had no right."
"Yeah, he did." Bosco replied, his eyes still on the apartment door where Charlie had stormed out. "He had every right in the world."
"To blame you for whatever mom did? No, he didn't."
"All I can tell you Em is that your mother did what she did because she believed it to be right. We have to trust her on that."
"You know what happened, don't you?" She whispered, looking up at him with tear-filled eyes. "You know exactly what happened."
"Do you trust me, Em?"
"You know I do."
"Then wait to talk to your mom, ok?" She nodded, resting her face back in her hands. Placing a gentle hand on her back, Bosco sighed. "You guys will know soon enough."
Bosco then turned to Emily. "I need to go and find Charlie. He's upset."
"You should leave him alone for a while." Emily responded, looking at Bosco. "He gets like this, but he'll be okay."
"I can't let him just wander the street at this time of the night." Bosco replied. "I don't care that he is mad at me, I just want him to be here with us."
Emily nodded. "I'll come with you."
Bosco smiled slightly. "Thanks, Em, but I need to talk to Charlie alone." Bosco said, as he stood up from the couch, and grabbed his keys. "I'll be back shortly." he said, as he started to open the door.
"Wait, Bosco." Emily said.
Bosco turned around. "What is it?"
"Whatever mom did, I'm glad that you are there for her."
"Always," Bosco said, as he walked out of the apartment.
