Seajae sat up. A cold sweat poured down her body. She reached over
and found the spot next to her empty. She heard Bosco's soft voice over
the moniter. He was with Angle. He was safe. She was safe. That's all
that mattered. She looked at the clock. Three a.m. God her body could
tell time. She got up and slipped on Bosco's shirt and headed out to the
patio. Seajae couldn't help herself, she reached for a cigarette and lit
it.
****** Bosco smelled the faint aroma coming from the patio as he returned from feeding the baby. He went to the patio and found Seajae curled up on the chair. He saw her hand was shaking slightly when she broght her cigarette to her lips. He knew it wasn't much after three. He wondered if the nightmere had returned. It had been almost two years since the last one. Since the night Hauns Mueller died.
*****
Seajae knew he was watching her. She senced it the minute he got to the door. Bosco came out and put his hands on her shoulders and gentally kneeded the muscles that had tighted up.
"You need to see somebody."
"I talk to you. Why do I need anyone else."
"Because I don't know how to keep the nightmere at bay any more baby." She leaned back and looked up at her husband.
"Just keep loving me Bosco."
"You know I will. Always and forever." He bent over and kissed her. "As I recall I need to stroke you back to sleep." He picked her up off the chair.
"Bosco you nut your going to hurt yourself."
"Nahhh..." He carried her to bed and began to stroke all her nightmeres away."
*******
Bosco had that damn grin on his face again. The one that Faith hated so much but loved because he was happy.
"Get a peice this morning Bosco?"
"You mean you can't here us?" He laughed.
"Your a sick puppy Boscorelli. Does your wife know you talk like that?"
"Who do you think taught me." He reached into his jacket. "Pull over."
"If those are pictures I'm telling Seajae to file for divorce." Faith laughed and pulled the squad over and put it in park. Bosco pulled out a ring box and handed it to her.
"Tell me if I did okay?" She opened it. Faith's eyes got wide and her mouth dropped open.
"Bos it's......so....perfect." The ring was a perfect saphire heart with three stones around one side. The wedding band was encrusted with small heart shapped saphires and intertwind with the engaement ring perfetly.
"The jewler said he can ad more stones when we have more kids, The three stones are our birthstones." Bosco had never bought anything that ment so much. Or cost that much. "So you think she'll like it."
"Bos she'll absolutly love it." Her friend had come so far. He was almost human. Faith laughed at her thought.
"What? You better keep this a secret. I swear yokas you even let it slip...."
"I won't." She held up her right hand. "I sware."
"55 David meet 55 Austin at the park at PS567. Possible hit on Mashall's Most Wanted."
"At a school?" They pulled out and headed to the location. "55 David eta 3 minutes."
******
Seajae sat in her car and watched. A few more minutes and all the kids would be out. She didn't want to cause a panic. What she discovered in this building had been here at least two years. Her insticts told her that if she rushed in things could get outta hand fast. She dared not use the radio or the latest cell phone. Everything had ears lately and she didn't want anyone hearing what she found until it was safe for everyone.
Faith and Bosco slipped in and parked behind Seajae. She got out and headed tword them motioning to stay in the car. Her eye's were scanning the neighborhood sourounding the school. Bosco knew his wife was tence and it made him nurvous. She leaned in and kissed him.
"Make this look like a social visit. In about fifteen minutes the school will be cleared. I told the pricipal to tell the teacher's anything just get the place cleared. We got a bomb. A big ass one. I couldn't see a timer or a trigger. You guys need to hall ass back to the station and get some teams dispatched. Quitly."
She stood up and leaned a hip aist the sqaud and lit a cigarette. "It's one of Mueller's" Behind her dark glasses she scaned the area again. "I told you catching him the way we did was too easy. He must of lost a trigger man along the way. "
"So you think if we make a scene the trigger man may show?"
"Exactly. So we play it close to the vest. I don't think it's a school employee....if it is he's a sick mother f......"
"Your not going to try and handle this before the bomb squad gets here are you?"
"Boscorelli I many be crazy but I'm not stupid." She leaned in an kissed him. "See you guys back here in few. Be carefull and if your sent on a call go. I don't want to raise to many suspitions."
"It's been here for two years Seajae. If it didn't get blown when he was captured..."
"I'm hoping for that but you know me I like to think worst possibe." She stepped away from the squad. "I'm going down the street to make thigs look good." She smiled at them. "See ya." Seajae waved and headed for her car.
*****
The nice quiet extraction Seajae wanted turned into the biggest three ring circus she had ever seen. Fire, PD, FBI they were all there. Seajae called Christopher to ask him what the hell happened.
"I was going by the book."
"The book was written before maniacs like Mueller started running the show Justin. Jeeze if this thing blows up it your ass I'm coming after. Better yet even if it doesn't your ass is mine." She didn't even hang up before she threw the phone to the ground and stompped on it hard. Bosco and Faith were standing next to the building behind her both humming 'Another one bites the dust'. She turned and smiled, face red. "You wern't suppose to see that."
*****
The note the bomb squad found said what only Seajae had thought in her mind. It told of other bombs around the city hidden from the untraind eye. Bombs with triggers that no one would ever find even if they spent a life time looking. They only hoped it was all a mind game Mueller had set up befor his capture. For Seajae Boscorelli it was the other shoe falling......with a vengence she was afraid she wouldn't survive.
