Bosco sat down on the couch and streched out his legs. His ribs were
protesting from the long ride to Rikers and back. Seajae was at work and
Kelly had taken Angle, Charlie and Emily to the park. It had been a long
time since he'd been alone in this apartment. It was getting harder to
remember what it was like without Seajae and Angle. He closed his eyes and
tried to rest and keep the memories of his father at bae. The shrink had
told him to try thinking of all the good things in his life before he went
to sleep. Hell his whole life was good now. It was the first seventeen
years that got in the way.
Seajae had brouhgt so much sunshine in his life. She made all those horrible images in his mind go away with just a smile. He rembered the day Seajae walked into his life. The ass he'd made of himself that first day. He'd made an ass out himself more then once since that day and she still loved him. That's all that mattered. His family life growing up had sucked and she had grown up with no family. Bosco vowed that he wuld make up for all the lost years she went without someone to love her.

Seajae sat at her desk going over the files that were threating to over run it. Faith has stopped by after role call to ask about Bosco. Since then Seajae was feeling way to alone in her little office. All she needed was to stick her head out the door to have some human contact but she just couldn't bring herself to do that either. At role call they were all informed of the armor peircing bullets on the steet. It scared Seajae to think an inch was all that sepreted Bosco from death. Thinking of him she dialed the phone and waited for her husband to answer.
"Boscorelli."
"You naked?"
"Not yet. I figured I'd wait till the Nanny left. Wouldn't want to scare her away."
"Are you going to be able to take care of Angel. She likes to wrestle with dad so much. I'm sure if you ask Kelly will stay."
"I'm fine baby. Anyway Charlie and Em can help me. I've got lots of help."
"Just don't pull out the stiches."
"I'll save that job for you." He laughed then grabbed his side forgetting home much it hurt to laugh.
"I'll have to give you a sponge bath when I get home."
"Oh yeah. I like that idea." Seajae smiled. She leaned back in her chair. "They putting you on desk duty tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Want to share a desk?"
"Your sassy Bosco."
"My wife is rubbing off on me. Any leads on the cop killers?"
"None."
"Killian's computer?"
"Computer boy's still looking at it. " Seajae lit a cigarette and took a long drag.
"How many is that today?"
"Three or four."
"Your stronger then that Sunshine. You can quit."
"I know. And I will. " A knock on the door cut Bosco's nagging session short.
"I gotta answer the door. Call me when the comp boys get back to you."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too baby." He hung up and Seajae went back to her files.
*****
Caleb stood at the door when Bosco opened it.
"Hey man. Come on in."
"Hi. I came to pick up the kids."
"Their playing a video game. Want a soda or something?"
"Thanks. How's your side?"
"Hurts to laugh. But other then that. Faith tell you what we have on out hands?"
"Yeah. I don't want her on the streets but you know I'll never ask."
"I'm in the same boat. If she wasn't so into this Killian case I think she'd be traking these things herself."
"Seajae will find time to nose around."
"So will Faith." They laughed. "We can love them and try to protect them but we can't try to stop them."
"It's kinda like raising a teenager."
"Seajae was seven and a half months pregnant before she would even consider slowing down. She swore she would chase bad guys till her water broke."
"What slowed her down?"
"Having Jimmy pull her very pregnant ass out of yet another building set to go off at any moment. He sat her down on the curb and told her if she ever did that to me or him again he was going to duck tape her to a desk chair." Caleb laughed.
"She never left the station on another bomb call again, until she gave birth, that is."
"Faith is the careful one isn't she?"
"Yeah. You don't have to worry about her. She's careful, smart, quick on her feet. And she has me at her back."
"I guess I can live with that." Caleb watched Faith's kids play. "There great kids too."
"Yeah Faith did good."
"Your not doing a bad job either I hear."
"Mines little yet. She just hasn't got to the I hate dad stage yet."
"God I hope I by pass that all together. I have enough keeping their mom happy."
"You'll do just fine." Caleb got up.
"I hope so." He went over to the kids. "Let's go guys give your uncle Bosco some time to himself." The kids got up, turned off the game without a fight.
"Bye Bosco. Thanks for the burgers." Emily hugged him.
"Yeah thanks." Charlie did the same. "Hey dad can we get some ice cream." Charlie looked at Caleb. Caleb looked at Bosco seeing him smiling.
"We are so whipped man." The men lauged and the kids looked confused. "Your dad will explain it sometime. Have a good night guys." They left, leaving Bosco to his thoughts of his family. For some odd reason he had the urge to call his mom and fill her in on the last couple of days. He smiled. "Welcome to the human race Boscorelli." He said to himself as he picked up the phone and dialed his mom.
*****
Seajae looked at the print out while the man in the lab coat tried to explain to her what they found on Killian's computer. After an hour she was ready to wring his srawny little neck.
"English Eli, English..."
"It's all here. Killian's life and the new one. And his journal. I think the little girls name was mentioned in the last entry on page 932.." Seajae ripped to the page he said.
"Molly." At least the little girl had a name now. "I wonder who's missing this child." She scaned the sheets. "Thanks Eli." He left her alone with her thoughts. She dialed home and found the line busy. She hung up the phone and started shifting though her never ending pile of paper till she came up with the missing childrens file. The phone rang breaking her away from the reading she was doing. "Boscorelli."
"Hey Sunshine it's Sully. We got a junkie down at Mercy. Say's a guy paid her two hundred bucks for her five year old daughter four days ago. She thinks it was four days."
"Are you bringing her in?"
"Yeah. You going to be around?"
"I'll make it a point to stay. Hey Sully ask her her daughters name."
"Molly, Molly Sue Murphy."
"Thanks Sully. See you in a few." She hung up and thew the missing child file back in the pile. Molly Sue Murphy wasn't in that file and she no longer was a missing person. "Damn some days it doesn't pay to wake up in a good mood." Faith was at the door.
"Romour has it you don't wake up that way anyway." She lauged. "Sorry to interupped your conversation with yourself."
"I'm getting tierd of my own company anyway. How was your shift?"
"Not the same with out that hot head husband of yours."
"He's board stiff already. Their giving him a desk tomorrow."
"I'm taking the day off. Caleb want's to take the kids to the zoo or maybe Coney Island."
"Sounds like fun. We still planing on a big Thanksgiving?"
"You bet. Me, you, Alex and Kim have the day before off so we're going to be cooking fools."
"I need to call Tatianna to see what she wants to bring."
"Are you sure you want to clear your living room for this? How many people are we up to?"
"Eighteen so far."
"Do you have enough table space?"
"Honey I can handle it. We got three long tables in the basement and plenty of healthy men to hall them up." Seajae stood up and turned her computer off. "Sully just got in and I have a date with a junkie. Maybe we can do coffee in then morning before you leave."
"That's a date. See you later Seajae."
"Good bye Faith." Seajae headed down to the interrigation room trying to calm her self so she didn't go off on this little twit for selling her kid to a murderer.
***** Erika Murphy sat shaking in her seat. Not from fright but from withdrawl. She was about twenty two, big blue eyes, and at one time a body that most women would kill for. Seajae got a scetch artist in and she was trying her best to remember what the man who bought her daughter looked like. She couldn't take anymore. "Put her in lock up when she's done. I'll deal with her in the morning."
******
Bosco was sleeping when Seajae got home. She got undressed and crawled into bed next to her husband and was asleep befor her head hit the pillow. These long days were getting old. Only thrity two years to retirement.
