It's All In the Family

CHAPTER SEVEN

"Oh my god." Bosco said, dumbfounded by Ray's revelation. "Jerry."

Faith and Bosco were out the door before Ray could even ask who that was. They jumped in Bosco's car and sped the few blocks to the brownstone that Jerry lived in. As he rounded the corner at 65 mph, the car fishtailed and he struggled to keep control of the car. His adrenaline was pumping now! The car screeched to a halt in front of the house. Bosco flew out of the car and took the stairs two at a time. He started to pound on the door.

"Police! Open up!"

There was nothing. "Open up, jag-off!" Bosco continued to pound on the door. "Let me break it down." he said to Faith, who stood behind him.

"Bos." she said. "He's got to come back eventually."

"She could be in there right now!"

"And she might not be." Faith said. "It all could be a huge coincidence." She hated being the bad guy in this situation. Bosco needed people to help him, not hold him back. "I have an idea. Let's get to the station for roll call and take the RMP back here and not move until he comes back. I'll get Sully and Davis to cover us. Ok?"

Bosco had no choice. If they found Jerry, maybe he could beat it out of him. That would be more rewarding, Bosco thought, getting into his car. He and Faith drove to the station for their shift.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I always feel bad for the people who mess with your family." Faith said. They were staked out in front of Jerry's house. They'd been there for almost two hours, letting Sully and Davis take the all the calls. Sully understood that Bosco needed to do this, so he agreed to cover them for a few hours.

"Why?" Bosco asked.

"I just feel that if they did their research before hand, they would know who to mess with and who not to."

Bosco just grunted and continued searching the area for Jerry. Something in the distance caught his eye. He leaned forward in the car and squinted at a figure only 500 feet away. Faith was completely oblivious to the figure, and she was still chatting away.

"They should be featured in one of those 'Dumbest Criminal' books or something," she said, laughing at her own joke. Suddenly, she got a feeling that Bosco wasn't paying any attention to her. "Bos?" she asked, looking over at him.

"Shh, Faith." he said, point over to his left. Walking towards them was none other than Jerry. Bosco used all of his efforts to remain calm.

"Bosco, don't do anything stupid." Faith said, grabbing the door handle and exiting the RMP. "Jerry!" she said. She came around the front of the car, her and Bosco catching up with him on the sidewalk, just before his house.

"What did…did I do…now?" Jerry stammered. He tried to get around them by stepping around them. Bosco, who refrained from saying anything up until this point, stepped in front of Jerry, refusing to let him pass.

"Where do you think you're going?" he said. "You don't, by any chance, have company waiting inside for you, do you?"

"I don't know…what…what you're talking about."

"I think you do, jag-off." Bosco said, getting in his face. "Where's Julie?"

"I don't know!" Jerry said, avoiding Bosco's glare.

Bosco grabbed him by the shirt with both hands and threw him up against the RMP. "Don't lie to me!" he screamed in Jerry's face. Bosco could have ripped his head off, and might have, if Faith hadn't stepped in. She was always doing that when he started to get riled up. "Bosco let him go," she said. She grabbed his left arm with both hands and tried to pull Bosco off of Jerry.

Reluctantly, Bosco let go. He walked around to the passenger side of the RMP and got in. Faith turned back to Charlie. "This is your last chance Charlie to tell us where she is. Otherwise, this becomes a case for the ACU." she said. Faith came right up into Jerry's face. "And believe me, their not as lenient as Bosco is." He looked away. "You ever met Satan, Jerry?"

Jerry managed to squeeze from under Faith's glare. He sidestepped her and started to walk up to the brownstone.

She watched Jerry turn away and walk towards his front door. She looked back in the RMP at Bosco. He had his fist in his mouth as he stared out the passenger side window. Faith got into the car and put her hand on Bosco's shoulder. "I think that if we went to Cruz now, with this information, she'd get you the warrant."

Bosco was silent. "It's worth a shot, isn't it?" Faith asked.

"Yeah, sure." Bosco said.

Not knowing what else to say that would even help, Faith threw the car in gear and headed back to the station to talk to Cruz. Faith just hoped the sergeant would be more understanding this time.
