"Hey guys, did you hear about the ball game?" Officer Sully said as him,
his partner, Bosco and Faith sat to eat lunch at an old diner.
"Guess not." Bosco said through a mouthful of food.
Faith slapped him. "Boscorelli, I swear, if I have to tell you again not to talk with your mouthful… we see enough stuff like that on the job."
Bosco rolled his eyes, swallowed his food, and looked at Sully.
"It's a baseball game- police vs. paramedics."
"Oh, we got that made!!" Davis said.
"I don't know…Doc's got some swing left in him." Faith said, taking a few fries off of Bosco's plate.
Bosco slapped her hand and said, "You wanna keep those fingers? Eat your own!" "But yours are so much better." Faith said, pouting.
"Oh yeah." Sully said, throwing some change on the table and getting up to leave, "we've got a winning team."
"C'mon, Charlie, run to 3rd! Thiiiiird!!" Emily yelled at her little brother.
Faith smiled at her kids, who were trying to help mommy and Uncle Bosco train for their baseball game.
Bosco laughed, and caught the ball that Faith threw to him.
"I think we got a chance against those paramedics on Saturday." Faith said, as she picked up a bat and swung it around.
Bosco tossed the baseball up in the air and caught it, then prepared to pitch. He put on an angry face and wound up, but Faith started cracking up.
"What?" Bosco asked.
"The-----look—face—HAHAHAHA!!!" Faith dropped the bat and doubled over laughing.
Charlie stopped and stared at her, raising an eyebrow at his mom.
When Faith stopped laughing, she looked up to find her partner and children staring at her.
"WHAT?" They all said together.
"The look of concentration, Boz, I love it!" Faith chuckled again and got ready to hit again.
Bosco pitched the ball and Faith slammed the bat against it. The connection made a cracking sound, followed by the sound of breaking glass.
"HEY! YOU KIDS! STOP!" A yell rang out.
"Oh shit, run!" Bosco yelled. The four of them took off down the street, heading towards Bosco's apartment.
As Faith & Co. took off running, a shadowy figure stepped out of the shadows and squinted up at the sun.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, laugh it up , Yokas, but what's it gonna take for you to realize that your world won't be sunny for long?"
"Get it, get in, get in!" Bosco said, rushing Faith, Emily and Charlie into his apartment.
When they got inside, they colapsed next to each other onto the couch, laughing the whole time.
"You guys wanna watch some TV?" Bosco said, looking at the children at his sides. They nodded, smiling, but Faith interrupted.
"Actually, we have to get going, or your dad is gonna get upset."
They protested, but she wouldn't listen.
"But mom! It's 4:30! My show is on!" Emily whined.
"4:30?!? Damn! I have to be downtown before five to make a deposit!" Faith said.
"Chill, Yokas. I can drive the kids home. You get down to the bank."
"Thanks, Bosco, I owe you. Em, Charlie, I love you." She said, rushing out of the house. "Faith!" Bosco hollered.
She turned around and raised an eyebrow at him questionally.
He threw her his pepper spray.
"Watch your back."
Faith walked quickly to the bank from her bus stop. It was a cold New York afternoon, and she pulled her coat around her. The streets were pretty bare, which doesn't happen much in the Big Apple. She *finally* got to the bank and did what she had to do. As she walked out, cold wet drops of rain splashed onto her.
"Damn!" She said, running to the bus stop.
She got their just as the bus was pulling away.
"Damn, damn, damn!" She yelled. An old lady who was passing by stared at her and walked a little faster.
I'm lucky that I walk these streets every shift. Faith said as she took a turn down a dark alley. She looked at her watch, which read 6:19. She heard footsteps around her, and her heart sped up. She looked around her, but their wasn't anyone their. She sped up her walking, but it was hard to see in the intense rain.
The footsteps followed her quickly. She put her hand on the pepper spray at her left side, and the gun on her right.
The footsteps became louder and she just stopped.
"C'mon! I'm not afraid! Bring it on!" Faith yelled at the top of her lungs.
"You'll meet me soon enough." Said a deep voice that seemed to surround her.
With that, Faith Yokas took off running.
Jesus, was the first thought that came to Bosco's mind as he opened the door and saw his partner standing their, her hair dripping wet, mascara running.
"Faith, what happened?" He asked.
Bosco ran to get a towel for his partner. After she was wrapped up and warm, he sat her down on the couch and sat beside her.
"What's wrong, Faith?"
At that moment, his partner, the strongest women he knew other than his mother, fell into his arms and started to cry.
Who could scare her this bad?
A "figure" stood on the roof of the apartment across of Bosco's and focused his telescope on the scene in Bosco's apartment. "Touching, Boscorelli, very touching. But don't get to used to your supercop always being around. She won't for long."
"A-and…I'll n-n-never forget what his voice sounded like when he said
'you'll meet me soon enough.'" Faith said, shuddering.
Bosco stroked her hair and frowned.
I will get this guy, Faith. Bosco silently vowed. It's on.
Crack!
"Whooo hoooo!! Go, Kim, go!" Alex yelled as Kim rounded the bases, landing on second.
"Aww, man, this is getting cold!" Bosco yelled.
"Grin and bear it, sweetie!" Carlos said, chuckling as he passed the officer.
"Hehehe…up yours." Bosco said.
"Hey, you wanna go?"
"Alright, buddy!"
"Hey! Hold up, kids! Let's not get to hasty!" Doc yelled.
"Your guy's turn." Alex said, handing Ty a bat. He grinned at her. Sully rolled his eyes.
Faith went out to bat first.
"Come on come on!!" Bosco yelled.
She smiled and swung her bat. Alex, as umpire, stood behind her and said,
"Nope! Oh, BAD SWING! BAD!"
Faith turned around and said, "Hey! Your mesing with Faith the Umpire Slayer here, little girl! So just sit their and look pretty while I knock one outta the park."
"Whoo! That's my girl!" Bosco hollared.
Doc wound up and pitched to Faith, who hit the ball with all of her strength, then took off running, making a home run.
Bosco, meanwhile, yelled himself hoarse.
Faith finished and was grinning from ear to ear. Bosco ran up and gave her the biggest hug he could manage.
"Bos, didya see me?!" Faith asked, ecstatic.
"I saw ya! I saw ya!" Bosco yelled, holding her face in his hands.
When they finished celebrating, they noticed everyone was staring at them.
Alex cleared her throat.
"O-k. So that makes it…1 for the police…9 for the Paramedics."
"That was some game." Sully said, after downing a drink.
"Yep. 9-12." Davis said.
"I can't believe we lost!" Bosco whined.
Faith smiled at her friends. They had decided to get drinks after their lack of victory.
"Hey, I'm gonna take a quick bathroom run.' Faith said, standing up.
The boys raised their glasses to her.
Faith splashed water onto her face and looked at her reflection.
Why would someone want to slash this face, huh?
She thought to herself.
She went to get a paper towel to dry her face and was pushed face first into the wall. She felt cold metal making contact with the exposed flesh on her arms, felt the knife cutting through her skin.
"Just a preview of what's to come!" She heard a voice say before everything went black.
"Where did Yokas run to?" Bosco wondered after about 20 minutes.
Sully shrugged. "She said she had to go."
"I think I'll go check on her." Bosco said, standing up and heading towards the women's restroom.
Faith groggily woke up and looked around her. She seemed to be on the floor of the bar's bathroom. She felt her arm, and felt the blood seeping out of it. She wearily stood up before a masked face pushed her down.
"Miss me?"
"Guess not." Bosco said through a mouthful of food.
Faith slapped him. "Boscorelli, I swear, if I have to tell you again not to talk with your mouthful… we see enough stuff like that on the job."
Bosco rolled his eyes, swallowed his food, and looked at Sully.
