Ch. 25

Sully and Faith were writing up yet another incident report as they noticed the FBI and Department of Justice guys walking into the precinct. No one was happy that they couldn't solve this on their own but they weren't going to protest the help since they didn't want to lose their own lives. The two new partners exchanged glances as they watched them walk into the Commander's office and the door slam shut with the blinds closed. That could only mean that they suspected a leak inside their own station house.

"What do you think that's about?" Sully asked nodding towards the closed door.

"I don't think I even want to know." Faith admitted as she turned back to her report. "Let's get this finished so I can get home to Fred and the kids."

"So are you heading to the hospital after work to check in with those two?" Sully asked not elaborating.

"No, I do have to get home to the family at some point in time." Faith said shaking her head.

"Okay. So then you want me to check in on the lovebirds before I visit with Davis?" Sully asked.

"If you want to, I mean I am sure those two have a lot of things they need to discuss at the moment." Faith said shrugging her shoulders.

"Yeah that's true." Sully said nodding his head.

Chloe opened her eyes slowly and nearly shut them fast when she saw Bosco staring at her but decided she needed to talk to him anyway. Sighing she leaned back in the chair she was sitting in and studied him.

"You know you might as well just say what ever it is that is on your mind." Chloe said rolling her eyes.

"Gladly." Bosco said folding his arms. "Not facing your feelings is only going to make matters worse Chloe."

"Where did that come from?" Chloe asked confused.

"Look all I want from you is the truth about what is going on in your head." Bosco said with a sigh.

"You want to know what's going on in my head? Let me tell you, I am scared to death that this guy is going to get his hands on our daughter again, I am scared to death that he is going to kill you and more importantly I am scared that our daughter won't be able to grow up in a normal safe environment like she deserves." Chloe said quickly.

"Chloe, everything is going to be fine." Bosco said trying to reassure her but he knew it was useless. No one was going to be safe or have any peace of mind until this guy was caught and behind bars.

He watched as the cops stared at him from his position. He had never been the defendant in a case before. He could see them all shaking their heads and judging them. He had to know what they would have done had it been their child in that position. It was the rookie cops that were there that really got him angry. How could anyone think that they were better than him? It didn't matter how long it took or who he had to take out he was going to get even with the officers at his old precinct whether they were involved or not.

Sully studied Davis closely as he sat next to his hospital bed. He could tell that something had happened while he was gone but he wasn't sure what the change was. As he leaned back in his chair he finally noticed what it was. Davis no longer had one of the machines hooked up to him. He nearly jumped out of his chair when he realized that they were taking him off his machines slowly but surely.

"I guess this means you are getting better partner, hurry up will ya?" Sully whispered with a smile.

Faith sat in her darkened living room and stared at the blank television screen in front of her. She was trying hard to think of what could have happened that would have caused someone to go off the deep end and start killing cops. There had to be something that set this guy off about cops, something that made him decide that killing cops would make him feel better.

"What made this guy go off the edge?" Faith whispered to herself.

Chloe walked into her precinct and towards the computers. She had snuck away from Bosco's hospital room and was now trying to figure out what was going on. She knew there was something that had to connect these officers, and there had to be a way to track it. She managed to get into the records room by charming the officer on duty who knew she was supposed to be on a leave of absence and she grabbed the notes she had managed to take during the entire investigation. She knew it was a long shot that the computer would come up with a connection but she had no choice. She brought up the records search and started typing in the victims names first.

"Come on don't let me down. There has to be something here that will help me figure this thing out." Chloe muttered when it came out with no connection. She frowned and typed in the precinct numbers and the officers names. Still she came back with no connection match. There were no cases that all the victims worked on together.

Chloe frowned as the computer blinked yet again with no connection and she groaned. She figured this was going to take longer than she thought. Groaning again she looked at her notes and figured she might be here all night. Then she got an idea. She typed in the precinct number and then she typed in only the last names of the officers killed and was shocked when she got a hit. Her eyes widened as she opened the file and read through it. Sucking in a deep breath she printed out the connection and then deleted her searches before grabbing everything and leaving. Now that she knew what this was about she had to take care of it, personally.
