AND REVIEW

***

Bosco lay on his couch, holding the remote with his right hand, and a big mac from McDonald's with his left.

He still couldn't believe the small news segment they had done on him the day after he fell from that building.

He had even had Faith record it for him, so when he got back from the hospital, he could watch it again. So, that's what he was doing.

He pressed the 'play' button with his remote, and sat back and took a bite of his sandwich.

A pretty Asian lady with short hair appeared on the screen, wearing a blue business outfit. She looked up at the camera and frowned, "Has our law enforcement gone corrupt? Can we trust the NYPD's any longer?" She glanced down at her notes with a serious look.

Bosco still couldn't believe this.

"I'm Tina Ching, and I've had an interview with a young woman who's own pet was murdered by a police officer." She set down her notes, "Take a look."

Tina Ching faded away, then the young teen-ager Bosco had spoken with appeared on the screen. She had tears in her eyes as she opened her mouth, "Th-the police officer murdered Brewer!"

The reporter frowned with sympathy, "And Brewer was your dog?"

"Yes!" the teen gasped, then pulled a small picture from her pocket. The camera did a close-up on the photo, 'yup', Bosco thought bitterly, 'that's definitely good ol' Brewer'. The dog was laying on the ground gnawing a huge bone, and looking rather malicious Bosco thought.

The reporter made an understanding noise, but then she said, as if the thought had just occurred to her, "But why would a police officer murder your dog? What reason would they have?"

"B-because Brewer was in his PARKING SPACE!" The teen howled, holding the picture tight against her chest.

The interview faded away, and Tina Chang in her blue outfit came back, "In his parking spot, my oh my." she shook her head, then bravely continued with her story, "That was my conference with young Ms. Until. Ms. Until informed us that after the police officer had shot her dog, he ran to his car and fled the scene with his partner." Tina shook her head sadly, "Unfortunately, that's not all this particular police officer did."

Tina disappeared and was replaced with a photo of a burning building, and a corpse being dragged out in a body bag. Tina Ching's face appeared again, "We have reason to believe this police officer pushed a man named Tom Lunt out of the fortieth story window."

Bosco shook his head as they showed a high school picture of the man he had saved.

"We tried to get an interview with this officer, but he refused to speak with us." Tina added. Bosco had been in the hospital that day, having surgery to remove the bullet from his back.

"But we DID manage to get a photo of the officer." And then came a picture of Maurice Boscorelli yelling at somebody, looking as if he was about to explode, with his name printed in small type at the bottom.


Bosco flipped off the TV, looking rather disgusted about the whole thing, and finished off his burger.

He slowly sat up, rubbing his back, which was still significantly sore, he had only left the hospital the day before, and went to the front door and grabbed his coat.

Yokas had invited him over for dinner, and he didn't think she'd mind if he came over three hours early.


**

Bosco parked at the grocery store.

After he had shown up, Yokas had been in a pretty bad mood. In fact, she'd said, 'what the hell are you doing here so early Bosco?' and 'Fine, whatever, go to the store and buy some things for dinner.' Of course, he said no, and she'd screamed at him, so of course, here he was.

Sighing deeply, Bosco got out of his car, making sure to lock it, and stuffed the keys in his pocket as he made his way over to the store.

Grumbling as he grabbed a shopping cart about his bad luck, he pulled the list Yokas had shoved in his hand as she'd pushed him out of her house, from of his pocket.

Starting down the aisle with frozen foods, Bosco grabbed a large bag of chicken legs and tossed them in the cart.

Glancing down at the list, he lifted his head and saw a pretty woman staring at him from across the aisle.

Thinking maybe his luck was going to change after all, he pushed his cart in the woman's direction.

When he got closer, he saw that she was actually gaping. Wow, he thought, I must look better then I thought.

"Are you M-Maurice Boscorelli?" she asked with wide eyes.

He blinked, surprised, "Uh, yea--"

"You stay away from me! Stay away!" she screamed, throwing a can of soup at him.

"Ow! Hey!" he cried as the soup connected with his jaw, "What is your problem!?"

The woman grabbed her cart and pulled away from Bosco, "Help! Somebody!"

He looked SO confused, if Yokas had been there, she'd have fallen over from laughter. Bosco watched as the woman ran away, "Hey, lady…! What is her problem?"

A large, muscled man wearing a vest with the name of the grocery store on it, came over and stood in front of Bosco with his arms crossed. He looked Bosco up and down, then grunted in a low voice, "You givin' that lady problems?"

Bosco rolled his eyes, "No, I wasn't givin' the lady any problems. I'm a cop for Christ's sake."

"So what?" The man said darkly, "Why don't you just leave before you cause any more problems?"

"What the hell? I didn't cause ANY problems, all I was doing was shopping and the la--"

"Get out." The man ordered.

Bosco glared at the man, "Fuck you, I'm not goin' anywhere."

The man grabbed onto the edge of Bosco's cart, "We don't want any murderers in OUR store. Now look at that sign, what does it say?" the man was pointing to a large red sign that read 'We have the right to refuse anyone of service.'

After there was a stare-down between the two men, Bosco shoved the cart into the man and walked past him angrily.

"It wasn't MY fault Yokas." Bosco told her as they sat in a booth at pizza hut. Charlie was playing some video games, and Emily was in the restroom.

"All I wanted you to do," she started slowly, "was get some chicken and spices. And you ended up getting kicked out of a store. Thanks a load."

"Are you listening to me?" he asked furiously, "IT WASN'T MY FAULT!"

She raised her eyebrow skeptically, "Yeah, I know, all you did was walk towards some woman and she started freakin' out. I heard you."

Bosco sat back in his seat, "It's 'cause of that stupid news thing they showed."

Yokas sighed, "I suppose so. Man, now all I'm going to be able to give Fred for dinner is cold left-over pizza."

"I don't think he'll mind." Bosco commented.

Charlie came and sat down next to Faith, "I'm hungry."

She looked down at him, "Why do you think we're here honey?"

Charlie shrugged and started playing with a pen that had been sitting on the table.

Bosco glanced down at his watch, "Y'know, it has been a while since we ordered."

Yokas rolled her eyes, "Then why don't you go check it out, Bos?"

Bosco stood up, glaring at her, "Y'know, I think I will."

Yokas shook her head as she watched Bosco head over to the employee's behind the counter. Then she turned back to Charlie and started talking to him.

Bosco came up to the front, and stood there for a moment, waiting to be served on.

The man behind the counter glanced up at him from a sheet of paper he was reading, then looked back down at it, as if he hadn't seen him.

Bosco frowned, then cleared his throat.

The man didn't move.

"What the hell does a guy have to do around here to get service?" He asked angrily, he waved his hand at the man, "Hello?"

The man slowly stood up, set down the paper and walked over to him, "Whaddya' want?"

"What do you think a person in a Pizza Hut wants?" Bosco asked sarcastically. The man stared at him, Bosco grumbled to himself, then said, "Our food."

"We're working on it."

Bosco clenched his teeth, then said, very angry now, " Do you think you could possibly hurry it up?"

The man laughed, and turned away from him, "Yeah sure."

Bosco watched as the man grabbed his paper, and resumed reading. He shook his head in amazement, "All right," he wiped his hands together, "that's it."

He quickly hopped over the counter and headed for the man.

"Bosco, sometimes you can be a real moron." Yokas commented to him from the front seat of the patrol car she was sitting in with Sully.

Bosco grunted.

Sully shook his head, "You beat up a Pizza Hut manager?" he put on the turn signal as he went right, "That's a new one."

"The guy deserved it." Bosco defended himself, he looked at Yokas, "Besides, I managed to get you your food."

Sully glanced at her questioningly, "You did?"

Yokas frowned, "Yeah, the deal was, he gave me the food as long as I promised never to come again." She turned and faced Bosco and said rather sarcastically, "Thanks."

Bosco ignored the sarcasm, "You're welcome."



Yokas let Bosco spend the night in jail, and bailed him out the next day.

Bosco didn't appreciate it.
