Chapter 2-Past Haunts The Present
"Hey." Faith Yokas turned around and looked behind her to see her new partner, Bosco, walking up.
"You ready, partner?"
It had been a full year since Bosco and Faith had graduated from the Police Academy. A year they had been on the force and already rumors and numerous stories were being told about Bosco. About how he was a loose cannon, that nobody really could take him on. That he was a great cop but he had some anger problems about certain situations.
But to Faith this really wasn't new to her. She knew him already and what type of guy he was. A guy who had a back-story to him that nobody really knew about, and that back-story was what would explain his problems and his line of reasoning. Or he had a great up bringing and just turned out to be a total jerk. All and all she had worked with him before and she could handle him again. That's probably why Stick let her team up with Bosco. She would be the anchor that kept him from doing anything "too" irrational.
"Yeah I'm ready to take yeah on again Boscorelli. Only if you're ready Maurice?" said Faith, teasing in a friendly manner.
Bosco smirked. Both of them walked to the locker room, going to get their stuff that they would need during the day and work together for the first time on the job.
Faith Yokas had stopped and looked at the locker room. The door was shut because nobody had passed through in the last couple minutes and the memory had just played like a movie while Faith stood there and looked at the door. With a faint smile she reached into the jacket to make sure the picture was safely in her coat pocket near her chest.
She had remembered the first day Bosco and her had worked together as partners in the 55 Precinct.
Taking her hand out of the coat pocket she began to walk to her office the recollection lingering behind.
Placing the picture of her partner back in the sanctuary of the drawer she got to work. But before she could get to involved in her paperwork, a knock came to her closed door.
"Come in," she said this without looking up.
The door swung open and in stepped a man. Bringing her head up Faith's eyes glittered with recognition and warmth.
"Davis!"
Faith jumped up from her chair. She walked over with her face beaming with delight. Davis and Faith embraced, hugging tightly. Both of them broke apart after a second or two.
"God, look at you," Faith was looking Davis up and down. "Is it possible you have grown even more?"
Davis smiled shyly then commented.
"Yeah, or you're just shrinking."
Faith snorted and smacked playfully on Ty's shoulder.
"Yeah you're probably right," She than stepped away so Davis could pass her and come into the officer. Come in, sit down why don't yeah."
Ty Davis Jr., walked into Sgt. Faith Yokas's office and sat down. Faith came around and plopped down and sat back, relaxing in her big black comfy chair.
Davis looked around nervously at first not sure what to do or say.
"How's Sully doing?"
"Grumpy as usual, but of course being his charmful self,....enjoying the retired life with Tatiana."
"Tatiana?" He got back with her?"
"Yep, sure did. Sullivan and her had split up after he found out about her record. But after a good while had past, she showed back up again one day and they've been together ever since."
"That's great I guess, just as long as Sully is happy....he deserves it."
Both sat there until Davis broke the silence.
"How's your husband?"
"Fred? Well, Fred's...." trying to find the right words
"Fred's just Fred. I get off the streets you know and we get a home off the island and still he has found something else to complain about. It's always something with him."
Davis nodded. For some reason the awkward silence kept on popping in. Maybe because when you know somebody, know somebody really well that you know lost someone that they were very close to, you want to ask them how they're doing. But you don't want to open wounds that have had now a chance to heal over the period of time.
A knock came to the door, saving both from a conversation that they both knew loomed ahead of them.
"What do you got for me Gusler?"
Davis turned around, surprised to hear that name.
"We have a new rookie for ya, waiting in the role call room for you."
"Thank you, Gusler."
"Hi Davis." Gusler then walked out of the office.
Ty Davis Jr., stared in disbelief at the vacant spot Gusler had been standing just recently.
"So Gusler is still working here? I didn't think he would even make it past a year, let alone be working, damn good couple of years now."
Faith remembered the day Gusler had pissed all over himself. When Benny Ross had gotten shot, only by accident from Gusler's gun. The day Bosco had refused to work with her and had stuck her with Steven Gusler.
"Yeah Davis a lot of people believed that but hey everybody assumed you wouldn't make it even past day two." Faith said this as she was getting up from her chair.
Davis flashed a small smile.
"People surprise you all the time."
"They sure do." Faith said this quietly to herself.
Both of them walked out of the office.
"So what brings you back to the 55 Precinct Detective Tyrone Davis?"
Davis laughed at the way she said 'Detective.'
"Well what brought me back is that I'm being transferred back to the island, where I would be working for the 55 Precinct again."
"That's great Davis. Need to see some old fac....es."
Faith had stopped suddenly. Davis stopped after a couple steps realizing she was no longer with him and saw she was staring at somebody or thinking of someone. He then turned his head and looked straight where her eyes were directed.
A young rookie was waiting impatiently, shifting his weight and leaning back on part of the desk. He was looking up at one of the many posters that decorated the room.
"Davis tell me I'm dreaming."
"Tell you? Tell me!"
Both officers looked at the rookie again. Davis shaking his head in skepticism.
"If I didn't know any better."
Faith cut him off.
"That Bosco is standing only a mere foot in front of us."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So what made you become a cop?"
Faith looked at Bosco. She really hadn't been paying attention to what he had been saying but she came out of her daze to hear him mumble words and she knew it was some sort of question, because when she looked over he had the look as waiting for some kind of reply.
"What?"
"Why....are....you....a....cop?" Bosco replied by being a smartass and saying every word very slowly.
She shrugged. "I don't know....ummmm, I just wanted to stop crimes, stop them from some jag off from taking somebody's life....stop some psycho from hurting a child, just stop idiots."
Bosco nodded and then out of nowhere shocked her by rolling down the window and sticking out his head and yelled.
"It's called the GAS MORON, USE IT!"
He brought his head back in and angrily pressed the horn. The car in front of them speed up and took a turn down another road, trying to get away from the 'deranged' cop.
"Can you believe these idiots?"
Faith just shook her head at her new partner. Yep this wouldn't be a boring partnership at all.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Faith and Davis had found what little self control that they had after walking and seeing a complete stranger looking like one of their best friends who wasn't even alive anymore. When they came into the room where the young man was standing anxiously he stood up straight seeing the older officers and put out his hand.
"Hi, Faith Yokas."
Faith noticed the slight confusion, and that is when she mentally kicked herself.
"Let's try this again shall we? Hi, Sgt. Yokas and this is a dear friend of mine, Detective. Davis."
The rookie shook both of their hands.
"Mathews."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I'm WHAT?"
The doctor was standing in front of Lauren with the chart and the smile you would always love to just to take your hand and then with all the strength you could muster slap it off. It's one of those smiles, fake. Trying to understand your position but really had no idea what you were going through at that moment in time.
"From what I see on these charts you looked to be about a couple weeks pregnant."
"That can't be, no....must be some misunderstanding, an error....I can't believe, oh my god, this can't be happening."
The doctor's face slightly changed and the smile disappeared by Lauren's reaction.
"I take that you didn't plan for this pregnancy?"
Lauren looked at the doctor like he was completely and utterly insane. Her eyes widened, pure sarcasm soaking her every word.
"Yeah I planned this, I have room ready for the little tiger. The bundle of joy is what I been waiting for....Does it look like I "planned" this? No, I didn't plan this. I'm only 18 years old and am about to graduate from High School, I didn't want or need this, shit man."
With the colorful words she had chosen the doctor's face blushed.
"Well do you know who the father is?"
Lauren was stunned by the doctor's next question, her temper almost getting the best of her.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean? What you think I sleep around or something! That I'm some kind of SLUT?"
She buried her head into her hands shaking it back in forth.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way....I have some stuff you may want to look at, nutrient wise for the baby and for you."
Lauren brought her head up, tears soaking her cheek, making them screaming hot red. The doctor taking the cue and leaving her to be by herself.
"Oh my God, how I'm I going to tell my parents?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lauren walked into the quiet apartment. She silently did a prayer that she had some more time to think to herself but that was shattered when she heard her mother calling from one of the rooms.
"How did it go honey?"
"Ummmm....I....ummmm." Lauren couldn't stop the quiver in her voice and was sure her mother could hear the slight hesitation and just pick up on everything. She wasn't wrong cause sure enough her mother came out of the room with a puzzled and curious look on her face into what bothering her daughter.
Tears sprung in Lauren eyes once more. "Oh my God mom,.....I'm so sorry."
"What is wrong honey?"
Ted Mathews walked into his apartment expecting to see his wife cooking dinner and his daughter to be around the house some where, but instead he was greeted with the sight of his wife and child on the couch with tissues everywhere and his wife hugging Lauren.
"What is wrong? Did somebody die, who is it....is it Mother?"
When they both looked up, both of them looked stunned. Lauren cried even more and she ran to her room and Ted began to get anxious wanting to know what had happened.
"What is it, what happened....please what is it?"
His wife jumped up from the couch and tried shushing him.
"I do not have to be quiet in my own damn apartment, what is wrong. Tell me now, what is it."
Ted watched as his wife came over and then quietly whispered to him what was bugging them. The words plagued his mind. Pregnant. He could hear his wife saying not to be upset but when that word registered what could he do but get upset.
Ted walked into his daughters room, throwing the door open with anger scaring Lauren in the process. Fresh tears could be seen.
"Get packed."
Lauren looked shocked.
"What?"
"I said GET PACKED!"
Lauren began to feel her lip tremble.
"Why, what you kicking me out? Daddy...."
"Don't you Daddy me, I said get packed and I meant it, DO IT! NO DAUGHTER OF MINE IS GOING TO OPEN HER LEGS UP FOR SOME BOY! WE'RE LEAVING! NOW GET PACKED WE LEAVE RIGHT NOW."
Lauren's legs buckled from beneath her as her father walked out. Her mother who was looking away as Ted walked out. She closed the door, hearing the gut wrenching sound of her daughter's heart breaking.
Shay walked away after leaning her head on the door and softly feeling tears herself slip down her own checks. She shook her head and wiped them away and regained her posture. She walked out into the living room where Ted was pacing. When Shay's temper rose it didn't matter how bad you think you were, you just didn't want to piss her off.
"Now you listen to me and you listen to me very carefully. We are not leaving until graduation. It's only a week away. Your daughter is in there," pointing to where Lauren's room was "crying her heart out. Now she feels guilty as it is, I don't need you making her feel even worse by going off by being a tyrant. Now shut up, and let me handle this," Ted was still pacing. "Did you hear me!"
"Why, I told her, no daughter of mine is going to be some whore at 18!"
"You shut your mouth right now, no more. Now I'm going to go and comfort our daughter and I swear to God if you upset her even more then she needs to be, I swear to you mister you will be sorry because God himself will not be able to save you from my wrath."
Shay feeling she had done her part walked out of the room and rejoined her daughter in her room.
Ted continued to pace then feeling every hair stand up on end with pure rage he knew he had to get out of there and cool down before he did something he would regret. He left without saying another word.
