Faith checked her watch for the fifth time in fifteen minutes. Bosco
had been pulled into his office after roll call and had been there for
going on a half hour. She closed her eyes and leaned agaist the wall. It
wasn't suppose to turn out this way. She was honest with the Capitain.
Bosco's behavior had improved in the last few weeks. Every word she had
put in those reports were from her head not her heart. She trusted Bosco
with her life. The longer he was in the Capitains office the more worried
Faith was that they had misinterpeted something and Bosco would never speak
to her again. The office door opened and Bosco came out with a look on his
face Faith couldn't read.
"Here I got your radio." She handed it to him.
"Thanks." He started walking away, then stopped. "You coming?"
"Yeah." Faith followed him out to the car. He was angry. She could tell. They got in the car. Bosco buckled up and waited for her to do the same.
"You need a cup of coffee?" He stared the car and pulled away from the curb. Bosco went aabout four blocks without saying a word.
"Are you going to tell me what happened in there?" He pulled over at the greek deli.
"I thought you would of already known." He put the car into park and got out of the car leaving Faith to ponder what was said to him. There had been not one negitive thing said in those reports. Nothing that would cause him to get repremanded in any way unless the Captian thought she lied. Bosco came back with their coffe and started driving agian.
"I'm sorry. They made me do it Bos. They said they were doing it to help evaluate you after your counsoling. I didn't say one bad thing about you."
"Maybe you should have." He pulled on to a side street and parked.
"What happened?"
"He told me that I have you brain washed into believing I'm not totally insane." He drank his coffe and looked out to the dark clouds rolling in. "Looks like rain again." Bosco winced thinking of what happened the last time it rained.
"He said that?"
"Yeah. I need to go for a full psyc evaluation next week." Thunder sounded. "You'll probably have to go to just for writing the things you did."
"Bosco it was the truth."
"I know Faith. They just don't want to believe I can change."
"55 David, robbery in progress 4-6-7 Belmont. Witness say they are armed. Use extream caution." Faith picked up the mic.
"Ten four headquaters." Bosco threw the rest of his coffee out of the window and his cup on the floor and headed to Belmont street. "Damn it." A car pulled out in front of them. "I remeber a time that lights and sirens meant someting." Bosco blew his horn and the old lady looked at him and flipped him off. "Did you just see that? Faith tell me you just saw that." He looked at her and her face was beat red trying not to laugh. "Oh woman you are so in trouble when I get you home." He pulled around the old lady and headed to the call.

The small grocery store stood on the corner. As Bosco and Faith pulled up they could see the man behind the counter. His hand in the air.
"Doesn't anyone belive in hit and run anymore. It's like they sit and wiat for us."
"That's not a good thing?" Faith looked at him.
"I didn't say that. I'm saying there was a time they took the money and ran. Now they got do all this showboat BS." Bosco unholstered his gun. "They need to show people who's in charge and then they get stupid." He leaned around the corner of the store trying to get a lay out of the tiny market.
"Stupid is good."
"Stupid is messy." He keyed his radio. "55 hedquarters we have two in the store. Both packing nine's."
"Ten four David. Back up is on its way." Bosco leaned agiast the wall and watched the two men.
"You really have changed Bos. I mean look at you now. Your not hot dogging this . Your not going in gun's blaring dranging me behind you to cover your ass." He turned to look at her. How many times did he do that? Risking her to get the job done his way? Movement in the store made him turn back to the door. The two men were headed out.
"This can't be this easy." Bosco stood up straight and took three steps back. As the men exited the store Bosco body slammed them both to the ground, nocking their guns out of their hands. Davis got out of his car just as this was happing and ran to retrieve both guns. Faith looked at Bosco sprawled out over the two men, neither of which knew what the hell hit them.
" Bowling for fellons day at work Bos." Davis laughed. He reached over and helped Bosco up.
"Just another fun filled day at the office my friend." He brushed himself off and picked up one man while Faith picked up the other. "Well well look what we have here tweedle dumb and tweddle dumber." They cuffed the men, patted them down, read them their rights and put them in the car. "I did all the grunt work. You can take care of the paper." He smiled at Faith.
"I always said you were the muscles and I was the brain of this operation." He didn't smile. Faith notcied he hadn't smiled once at her since they started work. Something the capitain said must of really hurt him. Bosco was talking to Ty when she finnished talking to the witnesses. "Ready."
"Yeah let's go dump the garbage." The got into the car and headed back to the station.
*********
"Are we okay Bos?" Faith asked after they dropped the would be robbers into holding.
"You tell me."
"I don't have one once of guilt over those reports Bosco. I never let feellings cloud my jugement. I was honest and forth right with everything I said."
"Well that's one way to get us both into therapy."
"Bosco please."
"I'm fine with it Faith. I just need a little time okay." He looked at her. "He just said some thing and I know it wasn't you implying them but it still hurt none the less."
"What did he say."
"Can we just drop it. I'll tell you when I'm ready, can you live with that?"
"As long as you talk to me." She touched his hand and he pulled it away.
"Don't."
"Bos, I just...."
"Just don't." He drove in silence for a long time. Bosco knew he hurt Faith. He didn't have to look at her to know. A ball of anger sat in the pit of his stomach. He had cut the tie soon before he brought her down with him. It wasn't fair. For once in his life he had what he wanted and what he needed and now he had to turn his back on it for both their sakes.
"Here I got your radio." She handed it to him.
"Thanks." He started walking away, then stopped. "You coming?"
"Yeah." Faith followed him out to the car. He was angry. She could tell. They got in the car. Bosco buckled up and waited for her to do the same.
