This is just too much fun! Thanks for all the feedback!
Boscorush, thanks for letting me bounce ideas off you
Old Friends II - Geezers on the Run
"Hey, Sul," Bosco yelled as he and Faith approached.
"Stop yelling, you jackass. I'm not the one who can't hear because his head's too far up his ass, you are," Sully replied testily. "Faith, why you still hangin' out with him?"
"I'm just a glutton for punishment I guess. You doin' ok?" Faith asked as Bosco helped her over to the bench.
"Yeah, Sully. What, somebody take away your donuts?" Bosco added, flopping down next to Faith.
"Very funny, Boscorelli, but now that you're here; I think you can help me with something. How many miles to the gallon does that scooter of yours get?"
"You're not drivin my scooter so forget it. Where'd you wanna go?"
"Ty's daughter is the lieutenant over at the 55 now and she's giving him a surprise party today down at the station. She was gonna pick me up and take me, but the Gestapo won't let her sign me out," Sully grumbled. "They said she's not 'family' so she can't take me out."
"Well the scooter wouldn't get you all the way to the station house, so we can forget that," Bosco said looking mischievously at Faith. "I've got an idea, though. Come on, Faith, I'm gonna need your help."
"I don't like the sound of this," Faith groaned as she was once again pulled from her seat.
"Trust me," Bosco flashed her another of his irresistible smiles. "Hang tight, Sul, we'll be right back."
Sully watched the two partners walk away with a smile. He knew he could count on Bosco, but he'd never tell him that to his face.

Parked in front of the main entrance was the van staff members used to transport residents to and from doctor's appointments and on errands. Faith positioned herself just outside the sliding glass doors watching for the van's driver to return from helping someone inside. "I don't see him. Are the keys in it?"
"Bingo! Hop in Faith," Bosco said getting behind the wheel.
"Oh no, you are NOT driving, Bos. Anyway, how are we gonna get Sully over here before the driver comes back?"
"Would you just get in for cryin' out loud?"
With a resigned shake of her head, Faith climbed into the open back door of the van and pulled it shut. "Now what?"
"Now buckle your seatbelt," Bosco called over his shoulder. "We're takin' this baby off roadin'."
**********
Bosco parked the van in front of the bench Sully was sitting on and helped Faith out. Together the two of them managed to get Sully into the back of the van.
By this time, the driver realized the van was gone and a group of staff members were about to descend upon them. "Get in, Faith."
"No, Bosco, you are not driving. You coulda killed somebody tearing across the park like that. If we're goin', I'm drivin'," Faith said stubbornly, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I don't have time to argue with you about this. You know I always drive," Bosco fired back putting both hands on his hips.
"Would you two just make up your minds and get your wrinkled asses in the van?" Sully yelled breaking the stand off.
"Fine, but so help me, Bosco.."
"Come on, Faith, get in," Bosco pushed Faith into the passenger seat and closed the door.
Flinging grass and scattering people every direction, the van careened across the park and onto the street.
