Chapter Fourteen: The Bitter End
Bosco tapped his pen agaist his knee. Cruz had called them in off the streets to do some recon work and the sitting and waiting was driving him nuts. He looked at Doyle. Something had crawled up his ass and he wasn't speaking to him any more then his wife was. His mood didn't help matters any.
"How's Kelly and the wedding plans?"
"We're eloping in June."
"Eloping?"
"Yeah. We just don't have the time or the money for anything big."
"Have you talked to Seajae about this?"
"Bosco Kelly hasn't said two words to Seajae since she and I went to talk to Nino the day of Angela's furneral."
"Then who's watching my kids?"
"Beats me. Kelly even wants to give our notice and move out."
"Man Joey, I didn't know."
"Just didn't care." The younger man mumbled under his breath.
"That's where your wrong Joey. I care. I just....." What, he just was grieving so much for the dead that the living were falling apart. "I'm sorry." Bosco looked ahead. "I just never lost anyone I loved before. Not ever. I just feel so empty. So alone."
"How can you feel that way with Seajae and the kids. Faith and her family. The Davis's, The Sullivan's, the Dorety's, The Parker's, and me and Kel. Bosco your never ever going to be alone. My god just Seajae and those wonderful kids are enough to put your grief aside and get one with living." Bosco knew he was right. He grabbed his radio and switched it to the regular police band. "Dispatch this is AC Brovo can you connect me to 55 Austin?"
"Negitive AC Brovo, she's requested radio silence."
"Knowen position?"
"Unknown to Dispatch but the brass might know."
"Please have Sgt. McKenzie call me on my cell asap disbatch."
"Ten Four AC Brovo." Bosco looked at Joey.
"She's up to her neck in something kid."
"Isn't she always." Bosco's cell phone rang.
"Boscorelli."
"You rang?" Faith sounded annoyed.
"Where's my wife?"
"You think I know?"
"I would hope you if anyone would."
"She's in charge of her own division Bosco. I don't keep tabs on her every move."
"She's gone after the Demon's?"
"You need to talk to a Capitian to varify her assignmint."
"Have I pissed myself off you Chistmas card list too."
"Damn straight."
"I promise to be a better father, husband,partner, friend, and brother. Just tell me where I can find my wife Faith."
"Sorry Bosco." Her voice was softer now. "All I know is she took a seventy eight vaga from impound and Sully from his office."
"A Vega? No shit. I thought I taught that woman better then that. Okay. Thanks Faith."
"It's good to have you back Bos." Bosco smiled for the first time in a long time.
"I hope it's not to little too late."
"Not for team Boscorelli."
"Thanks Faith. We'll talk soon."
"I'll hold you to that. Bye." Bosco hung up the phone. He dialed Seajae's on the off chace she had her's on. If she did she wasn't answering. He paged her.
"She might be on a stake out."
"With Sully and a seventy eight Vega? Could be. You want to cruise the hood for the car?" Joey started the car.
"We got nothing better to do." Joey made a U turn and headed to the more crime infested part of the neighborhood.
"Tomorrow, you, me, Kelly and Seajae will work this wedding thing out. I know Seajae wouldn't want you two to elope. Before my mom....well that's all the woman talked about. I know they all were looking forward to a big wedding."
"Bosco we can't afford it. Kelly's parents....there not liking their baby marring an American cop." Joey stopped at a red light. "They wern't going to come let alone pay for anything."
"But you guys have knowen each other for years."
"They think I put all this gardian angel stuff into her head."
"Yeah so if she's suppose to be watching over the children why isn't she?" Joey laughed.
"She's probly listen at the wall as we speak. I think Tatianna was coming over to watch the kids." Joey looked at Bosco. "For what it's worth Bosco, we missed you."
"I guess I should of dragged my ass up sooner. Thanks for sticking by me partner."
"Anytime buddy....but don't let it happen again." Joey slowed down when he saw something. "What the hell....god to be on hooker patrole." Bosco looked up. The sun was just setting and was at the woman's back. Her tight jeans hugged her body like a second skin. Her leather tank top hugging every curve. Doyle slowed down. Bosco threw off his sun glasses when he saw the heart shaped tatoo just above the waist band of the skin tight jeans.
"Joey, was my wife wearing that outfit when she was in role call?" Joey shook his head.
"Even with your head not in the game you would of noticed that." Joey pulled up to Seajae.
"Yous got alot of splaning to do Lucy." Bosco looked at his wife. She smiled and leand over into the window of the car.
"Hey boys. Looking for a party?"
"Depends on who's thowing it."
"The Demonds."
"We could use a good ass kicking party."
"MMM good have you back Maurice." Seajae leaned in and kissed her husband. "Just give me an hour to round up the troups and we can take them down.."
"You got any proof?" Bosco looked at his wife. Her sunglasses hid her eyes. He knew there was a storm brewing in them. A storm that would end up with her hurt or worse.
"Yeah, There a bunch of low life scum bags that have nothing better to do then destroy peoples lives." Seajae lit a cigarette and looked over the building down the street. "Let's all meet at the station at nine. Give eveyone a chance to back out."
"Or eat there last meal." Bosco looked at his wife. "You coming in till then?"
"Yeah. I need to file warrents." She saw a light in her husbands eyes she hadn't seen in a while. "You guys want to catch dinner at eight?"
"Sounds good. And Seajae?"
"Yeah?"
"We're burning that outfit when we get home." She smiled.
"Maybe we can have some fun with it first." She laughed and got back into the car with Sully.
"Team Boscorelli back on track?"
"God I hope so Sully. I really hope so."
****************************************************************************
Seajae sat in the locker room on the floor next to her locker. She had half a dozon warrents and a whole lot of back up but she was scared. Scareder then she'd been in a very long time. She looked down at her wedding ring. The beauty of it always amazed her. The sapphire heart surrounder by five small dimonds. One for her and one for each of the most imprtant people in her life. Pulling her legs up and hugging them to her she stared at the ring and thought of all the things she had been though to get to this place. The wars, the men, the tragety. Mueller, Chevchenko, and Laurence. Now the Demonds. Her heart ached for one more day with her mother in law so she could tell her how much she ment to them all. She hoped the old Bosco was back for good but like he said.....Things will never be the same again.
"You look like you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders." Seajae looked to see her husband standing next to her.
"Not all the weight. Just the weight of New York and the surround burrow's." Bosco kneeled down next to her. She looked into his sweet, beautiful eyes.
"I'm sorry for everything I put you though this last few weeks. I never thought loosing her would hurt so much. There were so many years that I could of cared if she was dead or alive. All those time dad beat us and she never stood up for us." He brussed a wisp of hair out of her face. "Then I learned she couldn't and that she tried to but he just hurt her more. Then she became more then my mother. She became my friend."
"We loved too. All of us." She looked down at her knees. "I miss her too Bosco. She was the only mother I ever knew." A tear ran down Seajae's cheek. "I love you Maurice. For ever and always."
"Forever and always Sunshine." He kissed her and for the first time in a long time they both thought it would be okay.
