Dislaimer: I own nothing
Notes: Thank you all for your kind words and I hope I can keep it up.
**************************************************************
Bosco rolled over and found the spot next to him empty. Laying on his back looking at the celing he thought about last night and the flash back he had. He knew that's what it was because Seajae had told him the story of the night she got shot. Why did that pip into his head at that moment? He heard voices and picked up the moniter and listened to Seajae as she got the kids dressed.
"Mommy can I go wake up daddy?"
"In a little while baby. Daddy needs to sleep." Bosco smiled. He knew she was smiling too.
"Mommy?"
"Yeah sweety."
"Is daddy going away again?"
"Not if I can help it Angel." Bosco set the moniter down and headed for the shower. He was going to make sure Seajae would never have to wonder if he was coming home ever again.
************************************************************************
Breakfeast was ready when Bosco got out of the shower. Seajae had made pancakes and the kids were digging into them when he came out of the bedroom. He went to Seajae and kissed the back of her neck as he hugged her from behind.
"I missed you this morning."
"I had every intention on being there but your son had a diffrent agenda." Seajae turned around and held him tight.
"You okay?" Her body was trembling.
"Yeah. As long as your here." She wiped the tear from her eyes.
"You sure that's all it is?" She nodded and handed him a plate. He went and st next to Angel. "Hey baby girl, what's up?"
"They sky, the birds, and the sun." Bosco smiled. She looked at him. "You forgot to tell me daddy."
"Tell you what."
"After I say that you say 'smart ass' and ruffle my curls." Seajae droped a plate and Bosco choked on the orange juice he had just taken a drink of.
"Sorry. Next time. I kinda forgot." He looked at his wife who was turning three shades of red trying not to laugh. She sat down next to Angel.
"What does mommy say after that?"
"'Maurice Bosorelli you watch your mouth she's a child not a perp on the street'." The little girl smiled and Bosco couldn't help but laugh.
"You girls are quite a pair." Seajae smiled.
"You wouldn't have it anyother way."
"You bet I wouldn't."
**************************************************************************** *****
Seajae made a few calls that morning to find out if there were any leads with the case she was working on. Elliot and Olivia were still working on the birth certificate angle and she was still trying to put the Remar James connection into perspective. The sister kept popping up. Missing bodies always made her nervous. No one even tried to find them. Seajae knew she would end up visiting James in prision. Not a visit she was looking forward to.
"So,,," Bosco came up behind her and rubbed her shoulders. "I think I know why I fell in love with you the first time?" She smiled.
"Sleep with you once and you got the whole thing figured out Boscorelli?"
"Kinda. Other then the obvious....I think it's the way you moan when I kiss you right here." He lifted her hair and kissed right above her collor bone.
"I don't moan...ahhhhhhh" Bosco smiled.
"You don't huh." He nibbled on her collor bone.
"Nooooo, ohhhhhh" Seajae leaned back. "You always knew how to drive me wild. In and out of the bedroom. What did you do with our children?"
"Mac is sleeping and Angel is coloring at the table." Seajae looked over and saw her black curls bouncing as she concentrated on the picture in front of her. The phone broke a kiss that was destin to lead to more. "I hate that thing." Seajae answered it.
"Boscorelli."
"Seajae they guys that I saw Marice with are at the Golden Spur down by the pier." Nicole was barley autoble over the music. "Can you get here quick."
"On my way." She hung up. "Nicole found the guys you were with that night at the peir. I'm going down there to see if we can find out anything."
"No alone your not."
"Bosco.."
"No. I will not let you go alone." She didn't want to fight, not now.
"Okay, I'll call Doyle. He's willing to risk anything." She picked up the phone and dialed the young officers number.
**************************************************************************** ***
Seajae met Doyle outside the Golden Spur a half hour later.
"You ready kid?"
"'ll follow your lead. Just don't lead us into a dark ally okay Seajae."
"You got it Doyle." They walked into the smoky bar and servayed the area. Nicole was sitting in a corner taking to a man. "Cover my back. I'm going to see what Nicole has to say." Seaje walked to the table and smiled at the man and woman. "Hey, whats up?"
"Hey. This is Rex. They guys you want to talk to are playing pool."
"Thanks Nicole." Seajae motioned Doyle toward the pool table and watched the men play. One came up to her and smiled.
"You play?"
"Yeah, a little." He handed her a stick.
"Who's the pretty boy?" He motioned to Doyle.
"My buisness." The man set up the balls. "You break." Seajae leaned over and wispered to Doyle. "Please tell me you were smart enought to wear your vest."
"Team Boscorelli taught me to be perpared."
"Isn't that the boy scouts." They smiled at each other as the man cracked the balls on the table. Three turns later Seajae cleared the table of the solid balls. The man set down a twenty on the table. "You can keep your money." She tossed down a picture of Bosco. "You seen him around?"
"What's your beef with him?"
"His wife is worried he ran off with her daddy's cash. She just wants the money back."
"He asked for a job about two weeks ago. Wanted a ship to nowheresville if you know what I mean."
"Did you get it for him?"
"Yeah, but he never showed up." Seajae took a hundred dollar bill out of her breast pocket.
"You know where he was before he looked you up?"
"No. Never saw him before in my life." Seajae slipped another hundred out of her pocket. "Some chick on Amsterdamn sent him my way. She works the corner by the deli. Names August Blaze."
"Thanks. You've made my day." Seajae smiled her best helpless woman smile and headed to the door, Doyle a step behind.
**************************************************************************** ***
"You think he was with her?"
"No. Maybe her pimp or someone she knows."
"You always think like Mary Poppins when it comes to him don't you?"
"If he banged a hooker Doyle he didn't because he lost his memory, not for anyother reason."
"Do they make woman around here like you cause I need to find one." Seajae smiled. They were watching the corner by the deli waiting for the woman who may hold the key to Bosco's disappearence.
"Sorry, I'm one in a million." She lit a cigarette and opened the window letting the smoke drift out of it. "How's Becky anyway?"
"She's bitcher as ever. All the time I spent on finding Bosco she assumes I was cheating on her since I was doing it on my time."
"Need me to talk to her?" Doyle put up his hands.
"No, the last time you talked to one of my girlfriends she didn't....well you know for a week."
"Poor baby." Seajae glanced at the Deli and saw Davis and Sully going in. "Ahhh crap. She won't show with those two in there." Doyle smiled. He pointed at a red head making her way down the block.
"Don't underestemate the power of a working girl."
"You think she knew Bosco was a cop. I know this is 55 Charlies beat most of the time but...."
"Maybe. Should we ask her or are we going to sit here all night annylizing shit?"
"God when did you inharet the Boscorelli attitude?" Seajae opened the door and got out.
"Work with attitude long enough you pick it up." Doyle came up behind her. "I'll go stall Sully and Davis. I'm keeping one eye on you though." He ran across the street and into the deli. Seajae headed to August Blaze and some answers she despertly needed.
**************************************************************************** *
"You a cop?" The red head looked at Seajae as she stood in front of her.
"I'm not vice."
"No your Boscorelli's old lady."
"So you know him."
"Yeah." Seajae pulled a bill out of her pocket.
"How?"
"Some guy paid me fifty bucks to do him. I knew he was a cop so I said no. I thought it was a new way to bust me."
"When?"
"About two weeks ago."
"Ever see the guy before?"
"Nope." She turned and grabbed the money from Seajae's hand.
"There's another one of those for you if you can tell me why you helped him find a boat outta town?"
"He wanted to get lost. Said he screwed up and he needed to get the hell out of New York. I know what it's like so I found Danny."
"They guy down at the peir?"
"Yeah." Seajae handed August another bill and nodded.
"Thanks."
"He looked like hell that night. I think he was drunk. Had about a weeks worth of stubble on his face. I never seen him look so rough. That's why I helped him."
"Thanks August." She handed the woman another bill. "Take the night off."
"Seems Boscorelli found himself a surgar mamma." The woman smiled. "Good for him." August tucked her money into her chest and headed down the street. Seajae went into the deli and saw Sully, Davis and Doyle watching her.
"Should you guys be at least looking like your doing something?" The woman behind the counter handed her a cup of coffee.
"We ordered for you." Ty smiled.
"Your just so funny Davis." She took a sip and smiled. "I can't take you guys any where."
"So what did she tell you?"
"Some guy tried paing her to sleep with Bosco. She refused and about a day later he came down here looking for a way outta Dodge. That was about the time Nicole saw him. We still have that first two weeks of dead space." Seajae's phone rang. "Boscorelli."
"How do I get apple sauce out of your son's nose?"
"How did it get up there?"
"I kinda missed his mouth."
"A wash cloth usally takes care of it."
"It was an excuse to call and check on you."
"Oh really, I would of never guessed." Seajae laughed. She looked up and saw something across the street. "Hey I'll call you back." She hung up and looked at the men behind her. "You guess seeing what I'm seeing?"
"A guy walking down the street with gun, yeah." Seajae stopped at the door.
"Sully you and Ty go around to the east, Doyle stay with me." Seajae took two steps out the door when the shots rang out. She felt one bullet slam into her chest and then Doyle slam into her taking them both to the ground. Glass was exploding around them.
"Seajae!" Sully and Ty were pinned down in the bulding. Shots were coming from all angles. "55 Charlie request back up at 459 Amsterdam shots fired officer down, send a bus asap." Sully looked over the ledge of the building and saw Doyle on top of Seajae protecting her from the line of fire. Niether of them moving. Sully slid back agaist the wall and prayed.
