Sargent Cruz sat in her office filing over a few papers. She was so sick of people, especially those who called her a 'Latina bitch' behind her back. In general, it was everyone and everything. Her mind was else where as she remembered a few days ago. She looked out the small window leading to the hall wondering where Bosco was. He didn't show up to work in about 5 days now after the fight they had. Hoping what he said wasn't true she grabbed her coat and headed out.
Flashback
"Listen what the hell is going on? I don't seem to understand what way you are going now." Bosco said as they drove along 5th street. They shared a shift today, how lucky where they?
"What do you want me to say? What you want to hear or the truth?" Cruz said sarcastically as she drove down the packed street.
"I'm so sick of your games Cruz. One minute you're sweet and the next you're picking a god damn fight!" He yelled. Cruz didn't answer. Her eyes focused on the road, Bosco continued.
"Were we a mistake Cruz?" He asked softer staring straight ahead. p
She looked at him quickly and then back to the road, a blank expression on her face. "Chico there was never a we."
"Don't act silly, the other night." He continued. Cruz didn't answer her face turning into a frown. Bosco looked at her. She stuttered,
"I-" She got caught off.
"Stop the car." Bosco said quickly. Cruz looked at him quickly.
"Are you seriously insane?" She asked. It was pretty clear that there was no area to stop with the constant cars beeping at everyone. Insane drivers threw there heads out the window cursing at others to get out of the way. Maybe it was time to put the signal on. It seemed like they were trapped together. God help them.
"Stop the car!" He shouted louder making Cruz shudder.
"And where the hell do you suppose I do that!?" She yelled back her body raging with anger. Bosco didn't reply.
"You have the nerve to talk Bosc." She said the words that he had called her the other night echoing in her mind. This conversation was supposed to help them, not cause them to argue.
"What are you going to blame on me now?" He scowled.
"I really enjoyed hearing that you called me a Latina bitch Chico. I really do." She said sarcastically with an angry tone in her throat.
"Did the truth turn around and bite you in the ass sweetie?" He said coldly staring at her. He could tell she was on edge.
A few cars honked at them as she slammed on the breaks causing Bosco to jolt forward. "Take it back." She said under her breath.
Bosco recovered his balance and sat back. "Oh I'm really scared. You're turning dangerous now too."
Cruz slammed on the horn as the other cars did. "Get out of the way!!" She screamed out the window. She started to drive again ignoring Bosco.
"Your damned hun." He muttered. "And you cant do anything about that. Your life, yourself. The one thing you had is now gone." Bosco stated coldly staring out of the window. He knew he was hurting her now, but she did deserve it. Didn't she?
"You just realized that. The only thing I had was my sister.-" She paused. "You? You think I had you." She said in disbelief. Bosco could feel his face turning red but he wouldn't show it. Never. He wouldn't give up that easy. She chuckled chillingly. "That's a knee slapper Bos." She pulled up to the station, parked, but before she got out she turned to Bosco.
"You're such a bastard. If you really felt anything towards me, you would never had called me what you did. Ever." She said slowly. A few tears filled her glossy eyes but she blinked them away. She wasn't a weak one. They stared at each other.
"Maybe I shouldn't even bother coming to work tomorrow since I put you in so much misery. Maybe Ill go home and end it all. Maybe this is the last time Ill see you again." He hissed under his lips, almost in a whisper. Cruz sat back. He would never kill himself. Ever. He's too scared. I'm not the center of his life.
"Go get therapy chico. Then go crying back to Faith like you always do. I will not be there for you to have a shoulder to cry on." Cruz said and got out of the car. Bosco got out quickly.
"Don't you dare bring Faith into this" He yelled.
"What are you going to do? Hit me?" She said tauntingly. Boy did she love to get guys pissed. She definitely knew how it was done too.
"The temptation is pretty great." He muttered staring at her as she started to head to the station walking backwards to face him.
" You really think you can take me? I've been fighting since I was 5. You have to fight to live." She stopped as she saw the hurt in Bosco's face. She stared at him in piety, almost guilty that she caused that. She never saw that look on his face before and it haunted her. She turned around leaving him staring at her in the empty parking lot.
End Of Flashback
Cruz walked into the locker room and walked quickly to her locker trying to avoid the few stares of Faith and the others. Boy Faith must have been mad, treating her poor baby like that, puhh…it made her sick just thinking about it. She wasn't scared of her though, not one bit, she could take her easily. And they both knew it.
Spinning her combination and pulling her locker open Faith walked up behind her. "What the hell did you do to him?" She said coldly. Cruz turned around rolling her eyes.
"And why the hell should I tell you? Are you his mother?" She said sarcastically. Bring it on Faith. Hit me. She said to herself.
Faith stared at her with rage in her eyes. "He's not answering his cell, his home number, or his door." She paused and in a sterner voice said, "I swear to god Cruz, if you hurt him, I swear, Ill hurt you ten times more."
Cruz felt like laughing. She was almost going to crack up when her eyes gazed around the room at the other officers staring at them. A small chuckle came out of her lips and a few seconds later a jolt of pain hit raged though her. Her hand went immediately to her eye. Oh was she going to get it. Cruz threw a punch at Faith as it hit her in the nose. Faith fell to the ground and Cruz started to kick her in the side. She couldn't stop, all her emotions flew out as the others pulled her back. A few tears stained her cheeks as she fell to the ground a few feet away from Faith beside Sully, her head burrowed in her arms. Boy did she want to disappear.
"Go home Cruz, now." The Lieutenant said to her as she sat across him in his office. "You so close to getting yourself suspended, one more time and your fired." He murmured as Cruz stood up.
"Fine." She stated simply, her eyes three different shades of purple and blue. She walked out and headed outside to her car.
Sully handed Faith an icepack as she sat down in a chair in the break room. Faith brought it to the side of her face which was bruised badly with the indent of Cruz's fist. Her sides ached badly and she hutched over a bit. "You need to go home. Be with your husband. Relax; you don't look good at all."
"That bitch." That was all she could say as Sully helped her to get up.
"Ill give you a ride." He said and helped her to the door.
Cruz sat on her couch in the dim apartment. She clenched the ice pack to her eye which stung badly. The minutes ticked by as her mind wandered. She hoped she had let out a lot of steam on Faith but much of it was still there. She knew she couldn't threaten to lose her job. She knew that Faith had pushed her way to far. But what she didn't know was if Bosco was ok. Why would she care? He was a lousy son of a bitch to her. But she did. She knew she did care about him. How could she have said some of the things she did? Then she remembered what he called her. Did he mean it? Words can hurt but sometimes people make mistakes, she realized and leaned her head back. The suspicion was killing her. What was going on?
A few blocks away Bosco sat in the bar. "Hit me." He said, his words slurred. The bartender walked over.
"Son you have had way too many. I think you should go home."
"Don't ell meh whatt to do!" He slammed his hands on the counter making everyone jump.
"Its time for you to leave Bosco." He said again this time the words made sense in his scattered brain.
"ohhh.." He said getting up. "I can ell when I'm not wanted." He tried to walk but stumbled a bit. He continued out the door wondering where to go. He couldn't exactly remember where he came from or where his apartment was. He rubbed his head. "Pull it together Boss." He said to himself woozily and continued walking down the sidewalk. It was dark, not many people were around. He stopped to check his watch. It read 1am. He moaned and sat down on a bench. His mind skipped from where his home was to Cruz. A few bits and pieces of the fight same back to him as he sat there. The one part that stuck in his mind was when she called him a bastard. He really was one to treat everyone in his life the way he did. He did have to blame that on his father though and his family. Then he remembered what night when he came home and sat down with the gun in his hand, ready to pull the trigger, and end everyone's misery. Maybe it would be better that way, without him.
A few thoughts came across him about his best friend, Faith. They had known each other since they started training for the NYPD. He remembered it like it was yesterday. She was the only one that was always there for him. He wished he hadn't shut her out the past few days just because of Cruz. It was just his way of dealing with his life, he guessed. Leaning his head back, he passed out with the comforting thoughts of Faith, his best friend, and partner in the force.
Bosco awoke to a loud horn honk. He jumped out of his sleep and swung around to see a familiar face. "Sully?" He blinked a few times as Sully got out of the car.
"Bosco, man, you look trashed." He looked at him tilting his head. "What happened to you?"
Bosco rubbed his head with no reply. He wasn't about to tell him the load of his problems.
"Come on to work. Everyone's been looking for you." Sully said. He decided not to bring up the whole Cruz and Faith fight.
Bosco stood up shakily. "Can you take me home?"
Sully nodded. "Come to work tomorrow. We really need you." He paused. "Faith needs her partner back."
Bosco thought about it for a second and nodded. He got in the car and headed home.
