Hapter Seven-Broken Promises



Faith let herself into the Boscorelli apartment and looked around. She had heard some comotion earlier and Bosco had called to make sure Seajae had gotten home okay. After thier fight earlier Faith figured niether on of them would be okay agan. She saw the six inch hole in the screen of the telivison and Seajae's cell phone sticking out. Seeing a shawdow outside on the patio Faith made her way to the door.

"You up for company?"

"I'm not up for anything that takes any amount of thought right now." Seajae took a swig of her beer and a long drag of her cigarette.

"No thought nessesary." Faith stood next to her friend and looked over the city.

"He's gone."

"He'll be back when he cools down."

"He's never left me before. He promised me if we ever got to that we'd stop and try to work it out."

"Bosco's scared of loosing you."

"Why now. I've done the same thing since the day we met."

"Maybe it's all getting to him."

"Maybe. But he shouldn't of asked me to quit."

"Did he ask you to quit Seajae? Or did he ask you to back off for now until we find this guy who lived in that apartment?"

"He told me to get off the streets."

"He knows next to him the kids your job is your life. He loves you for your passion for your family and for your work. He'll come to his sences." Seajae took a long drag of her cigarette and tossed it into the bucket she hadn't used in over a year.

"I can't loose him Faith." Tears ran down Seajae's face. "He's all I ever wanted and all I ever needed. Why did I have to push his bottons that way."

"Maybe you just needed to see if you still could." Seajae turned around and Bosco stood in the door way.

"This is my cue to leave." Faith started inside. "Keep the blood shed to a minimum." She left hoping her two best friends could work it all out.

"I guess I proved that I could."

"All I want is you safe." He came and stood next to her and leaned his forarms on the railing. "I'm in no shape to loose you Seajae. I just got back on track after the memory loss thing and the plane crash thing. I can't live without you. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever."

"I still need to find this guy before he hurts someone else."

"We have a task force on it." Bosco looked at his wifes pale face. She must of been crying for a long time out here in the cold. "Doyle and me are working Anti Crime for the rest of the month so Cruz gave us the okay to make this our top priority."

"I can flush him out."

"He can kill you in a heartbeat. You haven't heard a single word I've said have you?"

"I can't just sit on my hands and not help."

"Then me and the kids can't stay here." He pushed himself away from the railing. "You make this choice Seajae there's no turning back.. It's us or this case. You decide." He touched her cheek. "You decide which will keep your nightmeres at bae." Bosco knew how to hit below the belt.

"For someone who claimes he loves me so much your not being very supportive on this. Or very fair."

"Don't ever in a million years doubt how much I love you. But I have to stand firm on this baby. I can't have you in danger and the kids too. "

"I've never let anything happen to you or them before."

"Well my guts telling me there's a first time for everything. Along with Christopher and Cruz thats a lot of bad feelings." Bosco turned back and looked out across the city. "We'll find this guy but not while your working the street."

"I guess I can stay on the side lines of this one."

"I want you out of the line of fire. Out of town. Someplace safe."

"Bosco thats asking a lot."

"Seajae do this one thing for me. I've never asked for somthing this big before." She saw the fear for her in his eyes.

"I can't walk away from this. Not something this big. I at least want some say on how things are done."

"I can't take anything less then you getting out of town." He took her sholders in her hands. "I love you so much Seajae. I can't...." Tears fell from Bosco's eyes. "If anything happened to you, I'd die to." She wrapped her arms around her husband. He held her close and they both shed tears of fear and loneliness.

"I need to do this but I need you and out babies too." Bosco kissed her hair.

"You can't have it both ways."

"I need you." She wispered. Lifting her head she kissed his warm lips. Bosco couldn't deny the desperation in the kiss. He pulled her inside and leaned her agaist the wall. Pressing her close he deepened the kiss.

"Damn you Seajae." He held her close and slowly caressed her back as Seajae reached for the botton of his jeans. "I'm still pissed at you."

"I'm still going after this guy." Seajae found the way out of her t- shirt and stepped out of her jeans.

"No your not." Bosco slipped off his jeans and lifted her up, buring himself deep inside her. "Over my dead body."

"That could be arranged." Seajae moaned as he moved inside her. "Oh god I love you. Don't make me choose."

"Baby,ohhh" Bosco pulled her close. "Time to be a grown up and make a grown up decision."

"I thought I was a grown up when I married you." She moved and Bosco layed his head agaist her shoulder.

"You seem really grown up right now Boscorelli." He kissed her.

"Don't make me choose Maurice." Her breathing was ragged and she was close the edge. Bosco was almost there too.

"There shouldn't be a choice." His strokes grew longer and harder. "If you loved me the way I love you there should only be one choice." They both tumbled over the edge. Seajae clung to her husband knowing if he pulled away she would loose him forever.

"Then I guess I get the hell out of dodge." Bosco smiled agaist her shoulder and held her close.

"I'll help you pack." He said quietly. "Tomorrow." He picked her up and took her to bed. They both snuggled deep into the blankets and let a long awaited sleep take over. This is where they needed to be at this moment. Together. Holding on to the hope that this would all blow over soon.

Three Days Later



The cold wind blew thought the trees of Central Park. It was last place Seajae Bocorelli should of been at four o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. She checked her watch again hoping she could get back before Bosco found out she was missing. She had told Angela she was getting closterphobic in the small apartment. It wasn't a lie. But she came here to meet the one person who could give her her life back. If this backfired on her it would be another promise to her husband she had broken and lately he wasn't in a forgiving mood. The clock was ticking and she needed to get this guy before he got her.
