Notes:Thanks for the input and I'm sorry for long wiats but jeeze I've actually been sleeping at night.
********************************************
Bosco watched Faith sleep. God he nearly blew it last night. Sitting in the chair thinking about it all he had paniced. He hadn't thought of what ding that way would do to Faith, his mother or the kids. Reaching over he brushed the hair out of Faith's face and looked at her for a long time. She had saved him before and she would save him again. She knew he wasn't weak just afraid of being alone. He needed her now more then ever. How could she forgive him for what he had done last night, when he couldn't forgive himself. Getting up he headed for the kichen and the coffee he needed to wake up.
********************************************
Faith turned over to find the bed empty. She sat up and grabbed her t- shirt and panties and slipped them on. God she had been so tired, but she didn't want him to be alone. He was standing in the kitchen turning pancakes when she flew our of the bed room. He looked up and saw the fear in her eyes. Faith looked over at the coffee table where the gun had been left last night.
"It's in the gun case in the closet where it belongs." He winced knowing he'd lost her trust. "I'm sorry Faith. Sorry for last night and then things I said. It was a reaction to something I wasn't ready for. I'm not ready to give up my job and I'm damn sure I'm in the hell not ready to give up you, on us."
"We'll work it our Bosco." Faith went to him. He took the last pancake out of the pan and turned to hold her. "Everything. The job, the personal stuff. I promise. I don't care what we have to do."
"I can't make without you here or out there Faith. I just can't trust anyone else to watch my back. Not now. Not when everything is so fucked up."
"Sully will be back on duty next week, maybe we can swing a change there for a while till the capitain gets his head out of his ass." Faith ran her hand down Bosco's stubbled cheek. "Like I said, I'll work it out."
"I don't want you to fight my battles for me Faith."
"This one's our battle Bosco." Faith kissed him. "Can I get some of these pancakes or are they all for you?"
"I guess I can share, as long as you clean up."
"Deal." The sun came out later that day and Faith hoped that was a good sign of things to come.
*************************************************************
"Capitian, I need to talk to you." Faith stepped into the man's office.
"Sit down Yokas." He motioned to the chair. Handing her a file he sat back and looked at her. "I fired Sgt Malloy this morning."
"Sir?" She looked puzzled.
"Are those the reports you filed?" She glanced over them.
"No sir."
"I figured as much." He sat forward and leaned on his desk. "I got an earfull from officer Sullivan this morning. He called me at home."
"At home sir?"
"At home."
" I'm sorry I did't...." He held up his hand.
"You and I both know when Sully sets his mind on something." Faith smiled. "So I looked over the reports again. It wasn't like you to say so many negitive things about your parnter. So I confronted Malloy and he gave me your original reports."
"Why would he lie that way sir?"
"Pleaded the fifth on that one. Anyway I went over your reports and realized what a mistake it would be to seperate the two of you. You seem to keep Boscorelli grounded and I think that's what he needs right now." He looked at her. "And I'm assuming it's what you want and need right now too."
"Yes sir. I know it's strange but after so many years....it's like we compliment each other. I know he has his jags where he goes off but to seperate us..."
"Would be a worse problem then a solution. So with that what is it you wanted to talk to me about?"
"I think we just about covered it sir." Faith stood up. "Thank you for seeing the truth before it was too late."
"If you need me to talk to Boscorelli I will. I said some things that might of gave him an inclination that I distrusted him. I was going by Malloy's reports."
"An apoligy might be in order. I'll have him stop by on Monday before out shift. Thanks again." Faith left the Capitains office happier then she had been in the last twenty four hours and headed to Bosco's apartment to share her good news.
