The next few days were normal, well as normal as they were going to get. As the days went on I learned to deal with the guilt and push it in the back of my mind. Noble was arrested at the scene that day. His 'Seeing' is tomorrow. This means we all had to figure out what the hell happened. I don't want to lie again, but I have no choice. I was to the point where I had lost all my trust in Cruz and Faith. I should have never of gotten Faith into this mess but it hurt me when she put the gun up to Cruz. What hurt even more was that I had no-one to confide in. My 'love' for Cruz turned to complete hatred for getting me into this mess. Her intentions were good yet she had stepped way too far over the line.
I saw her yesterday in the parking lot of the station briefly with her new 'star.' I was headed to desk duty, again since we were short people and Faith and I weren't getting along too much. I'm not mad at her; I just don't know what to say after all this. We exchanged a glance and for a second our eyes locked. She didn't say a word, just slipping into the driver's side of the Anti-Crime car without a word. I watched her drive away silently. She had changed; the Cruz I had grown to know wasn't there anymore. The beauty of her was gone and in her steps were a cold stone princess, showing no emotion other then hate and revenge.
Faith, I had seen her a few times today after her breaks back to the station. She too didn't say a word. We exchanged a friendly grin and went off with our own work. It scared me a little, seeing how we had grown apart. I didn't want to believe it but now I realized it was true. I still think of her as my best friend. I don't have many friends to compare Faith too. Sure, I talk to Davis and Sully a few times but we aren't 'friends' I don't think, Acquaintances, yes, friends no. I don't know them, they don't know me, and it's as simple as that.
Noble's seeing was like a trip to hell and back. I didn't want to tell them anymore, I didn't want to lie. Sitting along beside Cruz and Faith I didn't look at them. I concentrated staring ahead at the judge with my head up. I could see them both eye me occasionally from the corner of my vision. I hated the court room, always did and always will. When the 'trial' came to process they started hitting us like a bat hits a baseball with questions. The one line that bothered me was when I said, 'I Officer Boscorelli, swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth." I couldn't forget this as I lied in bed the night after tossing and turning. I may be a jackass but a liar? How the hell could I be the person to lock up an innocent man? This wasn't me and I knew it. I couldn't live like this, I couldn't stand living my life as a lie. That was it. I was going to do the right thing. For once and all. Tell the truth.
TBC..Ok I'm finally getting a hold of the story. All you Cruz haters will love the next part, I promise so give me sum reviews or you won't find out what happens. ;-)
