Bosco leand agaist the car as Sully got them both a cup of coffee.
It had been too quiet for the last two hours and both men were on edge.
They had one domestic that took them all of fifteen minutes to clear up.
Now they sat. Sully came back to the car and handed Bosco his coffee.
"How's Faith's kids holding up?" Sully wanted to talk about anything else other then the loul they were in.
"They won't let me go home most nights. Been sleeping on her couch." Bosco watched the traffic pass by.
"They really like you. That's always good. To have a strong male figure to look up to. Not that Fred wasn't."
"Fred was a drunk." Bosco stopped before he said anymore.
"Don't let it cloud your judgement."
"About what?"
"About Faith. She loved him once. He must of been a good guy for her to marry him. At least at one time."
"He left her two weeks ago. Took the kids, the furniture, everything." Sully looked at Bosco. His expression hidden by his sunglasses that he could of taken off a half hour ago.
"She'll be okay Bosco. She's strong."
"Hell I know that. She's carried the weight of her problems and mine for so long. But he's gone now. Neither of us can change that. She's dealing and that's all that matters."
"We all care for Faith. I hope she know's we're all here for her."
"She does Sully." Bosco took of his sunglasses and looked at the ground. "Thanks, for letting me talk."
"I hope it helps. Maybe that's all it was. Pent up emotion or something?"
"You really think your having sympathy pains for my emotioal distress?" Bosco laughed. "No Sully, the shit's going to hit the fan. No doubt about."
"We still have time to find that corner."
"Naw, neither one of us is into hiding. Just make sure you cover my ass."
"As long as as you cover mine." Bosco threw his coffee cup in the garbage.
"That's going to take a lot of work partner." He lauged and Sully looked offended then laughed right along with him.

Faith sat up in bed. The thunder outside was deafing. Both her kids had came to sleep with her an hour ago when the rain started. She looked at the clock. It was nine o'clock. Bosco would be home in two and a half hours and everything would be okay. Lightning shot across the sky and thunder echoed in the darkness. Faith picked up the phone and dialed Bosco's cell phone. It rang three times befor she heard his voice.
"Boscorelli."
"I love you."
"What." The rain was hitting the roof of the patrole car with gail force. "Faith?"
"I said 'I love you.'" She raised her voice. "I love you Bosco." He was quiet. She wasn't sure he had heard her.
"You pick a hell of time to tell me that."
"I....just the rain and the thunder....it made me think."
"I know, me too. I love you too Faith. I gotta go but we'll finnish this when I get home okay?"
"Yeah. Sorry I bothered you."
"It wasn't a bother. Nothing you do or say is a bother. See you soon." He hung up. Faith crawled under the covers and waited for him to come home to her.

Sully looked at Bosco as he hung up the phone. He had pulled over because of the rain. It was coming down in sheets.
"She loves me Sully." Bosco looked out the windshield and smiled. "She loves me."
"I heard. What brought this on I wonder." He laughed. Bosco and Yokas.
"She said it was the rain."
"Rain does things to people." They barley heard the roar of the SUV over the rain pouring down out side. And when they did it was all together too late for Sully to hit the gas and get out of it's path. In a spit second it was over. Glass and twisted metal littered the street and two of New York's finest lay motionless in their over turned vehicle.
