"You're looking pretty chipper today." Sully glanced at his partner with a smile on his lips. "I guess I don't have to guess who you were with last night."
"I had dinner with Krista and her mom," Ty replied with a grin. "All perfectly innocent."
"Somehow innocent isn't exactly the word I'd use to describe you, Davis." Sully shook his head in amusement. "At least not where the ladies are concerned. Though I've gotta say, you've been with Krista a lot longer than any of the rest. I guess it must be love," he added jokingly.
Sully expected some sort of wisecrack response from Ty and looked over at him when all he got was silence in return. "Oh man..." he said when he saw the look on Ty's face. "You've got it bad, haven't you?"
Ty smiled a little bit shyly, still not at ease with talking about the kinds of feelings he was having. "I guess I do..." he said reflectively, hesitating a bit before going on. "I'm in love with her, Sul."
Sully smiled, not entirely surprised. He had sensed there was something special between Ty and Krista. "I'm really happy for you, Ty." He was truly glad his partner had found someone to love.
"Thanks Sully...it's kind of weird...I mean its good, but...I guess I didn't really expect it..."
"That's pretty much how it happens," Sully chuckled. "You're just going along, minding your own business and then bam, cupid's arrow strikes you down."
"Yeah well I guess I have been struck..." Ty paused for a few moments and then went on. "I've been kind of thinking that she might be the one."
"The one...as in marriage?" Sully raised his eyebrows in surprise. He hadn't really expected that, at least not so soon. "Guess you really are serious."
"Well...I mean I'm not ready to run out and buy a ring or anything, but...I don't know..." Ty shrugged. "It just seems right..."
"You'd know that more than anyone. This is really great news. You deserve to be happy."
"Thanks, Sully...thanks a lot..." Ty smiled back at his partner. He knew that Sully was happy for him, even though he knew he was still heartsick over the loss of his own wife.

"Hey you guys feel like goin' out for Chinese? Bosco's treatin'." Faith grinned over at her partner who had just finished changing out of his uniform back into his street clothes. "He lost a bet."
"Hey I said I'd take you out, not the whole department," Bosco protested. "And besides that, you cheated."
"I don't think Davis and Sully constitute the whole department and I did not cheat."
"Yeah well Sully eats enough for the whole department," he retorted.
"Just for that, I am going to join you," Sully said with a mock glare in Bosco's direction. "And just a forewarning, Boscorelli, I'm pretty damn hungry. By the way, what was the bet?"
"He bet he could get Sue Wheeler to go out with him," Faith answered, her eyes sparkling in amusement.
"That new cop on the day shift?" Ty nodded approvingly. "She's pretty cute. She's got a steady boyfriend though."
"Which Faith knew about," Bosco stated indignantly. "She made the bet even though she knew that and then watched me make a fool out of myself askin' her out."
"I'm sorry, Bos...it's just too easy," Faith said, laughing. "How about you, Davis? You comin'?"
"Yeah, Chinese sounds good," Ty replied. "I'm seeing Krista tonight though. Okay if she joins us?"
"Sure, the more, the merrier," Faith said with a gleeful look as Bosco's expression turned even more sour.
Bosco was about to protest again when Ty interrupted. "Chill, Bos. I'll help you out with the check."
"Aw, Davis, you take all the fun out of things," Faith said, shaking her head. "Hasn't Sully taught you anything?"
"I've tried, Faith, God knows I've tried," Sully said, smiling.
"Sorry." Ty smiled as he zippered up his jacket. "I'm going to go pick up Krista. Where should we meet you?"
"The China Star," Faith replied. "We'll wait in the lounge."
"Sounds good. I'll see you guys in a little while," Ty said as he headed out of the locker room.
******
Seth placed the sports page on the seat beside him as his eyes caught sight of Davis coming out of the precinct. "About damn time," he muttered, watching the young man with a certain fascination. He was just so much like his father. There was a part of him that had considered dragging this all out, making the kid suffer as he slowly destroyed him, bit by bit, but a larger part of him wanted to make a big splash. He'd been silenced in prison for too many years. This would give him the attention he craved. His work would be on the front page of all the papers. It was going to be great, just great. He watched as Davis got into his car and pulled out of the parking lot, then started up the engine of his own car. This was going to be one terrific night...
******
"Hey you two, over here!" Faith waved at Ty and Krista who were searching for them in the crowded lounge of the China Star.
"Hi Faith, hey Sully, Bosco." Krista smiled brightly as she and Ty reached the table. "How are you all doing?"
"We're good, Krista. It's nice to see you again," Faith watched as Krista and Ty sat down. "We've got a bit of a wait. This place is even crazier than usual for a Friday night."
"That actually works out pretty good," Ty stated, moving his chair in a little bit closer towards Krista's. "Krista needs to do a quick system update at the bank in an hour so I'm going to run her over there. It's right down the street from here."
"Man, they got you runnin' to the bank in the middle of the night?" Bosco asked, taking a healthy swig of his beer. "That kinda sucks."
"It's month end stuff," Krista said. "I don't mind so much, especially tonight since I have Monday off."
"That works out well, doesn't it?" Sully asked, grinning slyly, "seeing as my partner has Sunday off."
Ty laughed. "That is a lucky coincidence, isn't it?"
Faith nudged Bosco and leaned towards him to whisper. "They're cute together, aren't they?"
"Cute?" Bosco scowled. "I don't think Davis would appreciate bein' called cute."
Faith rolled her eyes. "Forget it, Bos."
"Hey Davis," Bosco stated loudly. "Faith thinks you're cute."
"Huh?" Ty looked at Bosco, a baffled expression on his face.
Faith glared at Bosco, punching his arm. "Ouch! That hurt, Faith! You're such a bully." Bosco pouted as he rubbed his arm.
"And you are a baby. I said I thought the two of you were cute together," Faith explained with a sigh.
Ty smiled as he draped his arm around Krista. "Well thanks. I certainly think Krista's pretty cute."
"And I think you're pretty cute yourself," Krista smiled up at Ty.
"Okay enough of this," Sully groaned. "All this lovey dovey talk is going to make me lose my appetite."
"That isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it?" Bosco asked.
"That'll cost you," Sully said, shaking his head. "An extra piece of teriyaki beef for every snide comment you make."
"I'm shakin'." Bosco smirked as he gave an exaggerated shudder.
"You should be shaking."
"Come on guys, Krista is never going to want to be seen in public with any of us ever again," Faith said, shaking her head. Men could be such morons sometimes.
******
Seth smiled to himself as he quickly walked away from Davis' car. It had been easier than he thought. Peterson's constant ramblings about explosives in prison had proven more useful than he ever could have imagined. He went back to his own car and got inside, every nerve in his body tingling with anticipation of what was to come. He could hardly wait for the fireworks to begin.
******
"I tackled that skell and he had no idea what hit him," Bosco grinned. "Guy was so drunk I bet he still doesn't know what happened."
"Ty? Sorry to interrupt, but..." Krista gestured to her watch. "I've got to go."
"Okay, sure. We won't be long," Ty said as he started to get up.
Krista shook her head quickly. "Why don't I just take the keys? I won't be long."
"Nah." Ty shook his head. "I'll drive you."
Krista gave him a mischievous smile. "What's the matter, Ty? Don't you trust me to drive your car?"
"Of course I trust you," Try stated. He looked to Sully and Bosco for help, but they just grinned at him, enjoying the situation. "I just...it's late..."
"Come on, Ty just give me the keys," Krista pleaded. "If you come, you're going to be a distraction."
"I won't distract you," he protested.
"Tell you what, Davis. How about I go with her?" Faith said, deciding to rescue the young officer. "I think we girls could use a break from you guys anyhow."
"Alright." Ty stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out the keys, handing them to Krista. "Don't be long."
"We won't be." Krista smiled as she took the keys and stood up, then bent down to kiss him. "You be good," she whispered.
"Always." His eyes followed her as she and Faith headed out and he then turned his attention back to Sully and Bosco.
******
"So...you and Ty seem like you're getting pretty serious," Faith said as she and Krista started walking through the parking lot to where Ty's car was parked.
"I guess we are..." Krista glanced at Faith, a faint smile touching her lips. "Ty's a terrific guy,"
Faith nodded. "He really is. I'm glad things are working out so well between you. He seems really happy."
"I'm glad." Krista smiled as they reached the car and she walked over to the passenger side to open the door for Faith. "I'm really happy too."
"Damn," Faith exclaimed and Krista gave her a questioning look.
"What's wrong?"
"My purse. I left it under my chair. If they call our names for a table, the guys aren't going to know it's there."
"Well why don't you run in and get it. I'll pick you up out front."
"Okay, thanks." Faith smiled as started to head back. "I'll hurry."
******
"So Davis...you really like this girl, huh?" Bosco asked, looking over at Ty curiously.
"Yeah...yeah, I really do." Ty nodded as he took a sip of his drink. "We've really connected. I..."
His words were lost as the restaurant was rocked by the sound of a huge explosion. People immediately began to scream and some started rushing towards the exit. The three men exchanged shocked glances and then Bosco whispered "Faith" as he sprang to his feet. Ty sat unmoving, filled with unspeakable terror before Sully grabbed his arm and pulled him out of his chair. Bosco was already trying to calm the crowd as he made his way through the lounge, desperate to reach his partner, to make sure she was okay.
"Come on," Sully said, trying to get Ty to respond while he fought against his own feelings of foreboding that something unspeakably horrible had occurred...
