Finally A Family - Part 4

At the same time that Bosco and Jack Warner were realizing the identity of Jenny's abductor, Faith was taking her dinner break. She had radioed Sully and Davis and asked to meet up with them at their usual Chinese restaurant.

"So, any news about Bosco's friend?" asked Sully.

"Nothing yet," Faith replied, shaking her head as their food came.

"Anything we can do to help?" asked Ty, wanting to help his friend.

Faith shook her head again, "I just don't know, Ty. I don't even know where to start looking. I don't know this girl so I don't know where she might have gone. I do know that if Bosco doesn't bring this girl back to her family, he's going to be devastated."

"Who is this girl anyway? Is she a girlfriend?" Sully asked Faith.

"No, the girl's like a sister to Bosco. Her Dad was Bosco's commanding officer in the Marines. I guess the guy, Jack Warner, took Bosco under his wing and was like a father to Bosco. Helped straighten him out and helped him make some decisions about what he wanted to do with his life. Bos told me that the guy probably saved his life. He visited Warner after he got out of the service in Maine and the whole family took him in as one of their own," she explained, wondering what would have happened to Bosco if he hadn't gotten involved in Bosco's messed up life. "Boy, parents sure can make or break a kid," she thought to herself as they all finished eating.

"Well, the girl's picture is out in all the precincts and everyone is out there looking," said Ty as they all kicked in to pay the bill and got ready to head back out on patrol.

"Let us know if you hear anything, or if they get a lead and need help tracking it down," offered Sully as they were dispatched to a call. "Will do," Faith replied as the officers steered their cruisers off in different directions.

As Faith was patrolling her sector, her cell phone rang. She pulled the RMP over and answered, "Yokas."

"Its me. I need your help," he said quickly. Faith couldn't help but notice the fear in her partner's voice. None of the other officers would have picked up on it, but they knew each other so well, she could tell it was fear and not just tension or anger.

"Bosco, I'm there - whatever it is. Just tell me what you need," she answered back.

"I need you to come to the hotel and pick me up. We found out who took Jenny, now we just need to find the bastard. First, I need you to run something on the computer in the car. Run the name Seth Feraday. It's not good Faith. I'll fill you in downstairs in five minutes," he told her.

"I'll be there in two," Faith shot back, hanging up as she punched the name into the computer, threw the car in drive and headed toward the hotel while the computer searched for information on Feraday.

Faith pulled up to the front door of the hotel and Bosco was standing in the rain waiting for her. He jumped in and gave her the rundown on Feraday and how he knew him, shivering as the cold rain ran down his back, soaking his clothes.

"Jeez, Bosco. The information should be coming up on the computer screen any second," Faith told him as he looked over at the screen. He read the address from the computer screen off to Faith and they headed over.

"But, aren't the detectives heading over there already?" asked Faith while she navigated the wet streets.

Bosco sneered and replied, "Yeah, after they go 'run it' for their boss. She could be dead or long gone by then Faith. If she's not already," he trailed off.

"Alright Bos," she said handing him her cell phone. "Hit 5 on the speed dial and tell Sully and Davis to meet us at the address."

"I don't want to get them in trouble with the job," answered Bosco, trying to remember what little idiosyncrasies he could about the man that had Jenny.

"Bosco, they're ready and willing to help, and from what you said we'll probably need all the help we can get," she urged him.

Bosco dialed the phone and Davis picked up. "Ty, it's Bosco. I'm with Faith. Look, can you meet us in back of 4937 Fifth Avenue? I got a lead on the guy that has Jenny," he explained.

"We're there Bos," replied Ty without hesitation as he repeated the address to Sully.

"Look, this guy is bad news and I'll understand if you want to hold back until you get the word from Central to respond. He was in my unit in the Marines and left under bad circumstances. He's holding a grudge and he ain't all there, if you know what I mean," continued Bosco.

"Look, we're big boys, Bos. We'll meet you there in about 10 minutes," assured Davis.

"What else do we have to do but make more paperwork for the Boss anyway?" Ty joked as he hung up the phone and relayed the information to Sully.

Faith took the phone from Bosco and punched in the number for Central. She asked for her friend Sally, the shift supervisor. When Sally answered the phone she said, "Hey Sally, it's Faith Yokas."

"Hey Faith, what's up?" responded the woman.

"You know what the deal is with the missing girl, Jenny Warner, right?" Faith asked her.

"Yeah, the friend of your partner. I was told about it in case anyone called in any information after they put it out on a news bulletin. What's up?" Sally asked.

"I need you to keep me and 55-Charlie clear from calls while we check something out," Faith said, giving Sally the address of where they would be.

"Yeah, I'll put it out over the air that you're out of service until further notice," she answered.

"No!" Faith said quickly. "It can't go out over the air or the Lieutenant will have our collective asses," she explained. "We've got a possible lead on where the girl is located and the detectives are dragging their feet to protect their own asses," she further explained, knowing that mentioning the detectives would assure Sally's cooperation because she really still had it in for her ex-husband, the "Detective."

"You got it Faith. I'll work the police radio myself 'til I hear back from you," Sally answered. "Just be careful and keep me posted. I'll be monitoring all frequencies, so call for help if you need it and I'll know where to send the cavalry."

"Okay, I have Boscorelli with me also. Thanks Sally, I owe you big time," Faith said.

"Yeah, you do, but a date with your partner will pay that back," joked Sally before hanging up.

Faith put her phone down and looked over at her partner who was looking back at her with a smirk and a look of surprise on his face. "What!?" smirked Faith.

"I didn't know you had it in you partner," smiled Bosco. "When it counts, Bos, when it counts," she replied. "And by the way, you owe her a date," she added. "Spectacular," replied Bosco, shaking his head.

Faith dialed Davis' cell to let them know they were there. Sully and Davis reported that they were in position also. They met up in the back alley and Bosco filled in Davis and Sully about Feraday.

"Look, guys," warned Bosco. "This guy is bad news. I'll understand if you want nothin' to do with this," he said looking at his friends. He would go in by himself if he had to.

Davis, Sully and Faith all looked at each other, knowing that there was no question that they were going to help Bosco save this girl. Just as they were about to tell him that very same thing Bosco put up his hand and mouthed the word "Quiet!" to them.

They all froze and listened carefully. Bosco heard a noise behind him - a strange noise to Faith, Davis and Sully, but all too familiar to Bosco. It sounded like some animal you'd find in the woods. It was the same noise that Colonel Warner had made the night that he and four other guys from his company were cut-off from their unit by the enemy while out on patrol. Colonel Warner himself had come out looking for them and been the one to rescue them. He made that same noise that night to let Bosco know that he was there and they were not alone.

Bosco turned in the direction of the noise at the same time that the Colonel came out from his cover.

"Jack! What are you doing here?!" asked Bosco, shocked to see him there.

"I'm going to help you get my daughter back Boscorelli," he answered simply. "Jack, you can't be here for this. You have to let us handle it this time," he tried to explain to the worried man, as his friends and co- workers looked around to make sure they were not drawing attention.

"Bosco, I can't just sit back and wait. Those detectives don't care. They don't know what they're up against with Feraday," pleaded Jack.

"But I know, Sir," replied Bosco. "And these guys know," he gestured toward his partner and friends. "They're the best and we'll get the job done. I'll bring her back to you, Jack," Bosco promised him again. "I hope I'm not too late," he thought again to himself.

"I have to do something," Jack said. "Look, go back out by our RMP," he said, motioning to Faith to hand him the keys. "Take my cell phone. Hit speed dial 1," he said pointing to Faith to indicate that it was her cell number, "if you see anything going on - like those detectives coming in, let us know." Jack reluctantly agreed and headed back to 55-David.

"Aw Bos, I'm Number 1 on your speed dial. I'm touched," joked Faith. "Hey, you go with who you know," he kidded back. "Let's get started. Here's the plan," and they huddled around Bosco to set things up.
