"Hey Kim," Jimmy said coming up behind her as she was getting a drink
from the fridge at the 55 firehouse. It was about three fifteen in the
afternoon right after shift change. "I hope you don't mind but I told Joey
that he would be staying with you tonight."
"Why got a hot date?," Kim said with a smile.
"No. I just figured since he stayed with me last night when you were suppose to have him you might want to take him tonight. If it's a problem for you, I'll take him."
"It isn't a problem," Kim said quickly. "I'm sorry, that wasn't fair."
"No problem," Jimmy said as he sat down from the table from Kim. "I also think Joey needs to spend some time with you. He didn't take the news about Bosco very well."
"What did you tell him?" Kim asked looking at Jimmy accusingly.
"I told him a friend of yours got hurt on the job and you were at the hospital waiting to see how he was. What did you want me to tell him," Jimmy said getting defensive. "Joey immediately connected the incident with Bobby's death. I think he's worried about the same thing happening again," Jimmy said knowing that the issue was still touchy with Kim and figuring that this conversation was going bad enough as it was.
"Okay, I'll pick him up after my shift is over," Kim said.
Before either of them could say anything else Lieu entered the kitchen area of the fire house. Behind him was Sullivan and Davis.
"Doherty, the police want you to go over to the police station for a little while. Its about the incident with Bosco yesterday," Lieu told him.
"Okay," Jimmy said standing up. He had a bunch of questions about what was going on but he figured right now wasn't the time to ask them. "Am I going to need a lawyer?" Jimmy asked jokingly trying to lighten the mood.
"No," Sullivan said not finding Jimmy's comment funny at all. Out of the corner of his eye he could see his partner smiling at the comment though. "We dusted Bosco's gun for fingerprints and found four sets of prints on it," Sully told him explaining why they wanted Jimmy to come to the station with them. "We've already eliminated Bosco's and my prints from the gun. You handled his gun yesterday without your glove on at least once. We just need to finger print you so that we can eliminate your prints from the ones that were found on the gun."
"Okay, lead the way," Jimmy said.
The walk over to the station was done in silence. Once in the station Davis disappeared to somewhere leaving Jimmy alone with Sully. Sully hung around the whole time that they were finger printing Jimmy. Sully then led Jimmy to the role call room, which at this time of the day was empty.
"How's Bosco doing today?," Jimmy asked as he entered the room.
"I don't know. That's what Ty is checking on now. He's calling Yokas at the hospital. You're the one who found Boscorelli right?" Sully asked him as he shut the door.
"Yeah, why?"
"Tell me what happened and in as much detail as you can remember. We're trying to figure out what happened and who was involved. Anything you can remember no matter how insignificant it might seem to you could be important."
"Okay," Jimmy said. He started telling Sully everything he could remember from the day before. Somewhere during the account Davis slipped in quietly without Jimmy noticing.
"Is that everything?" Sully asked when Jimmy had finished.
"Yeah I think so," Jimmy said again trying to remember the events from the previous afternoon. As he replayed the events something that he hadn't told Sully yet came to mind. "No wait, there is something else. While I was waiting for Lombardo to bring the bolt cutters down I heard Bosco murmur something. I think it was 'Mikey, don't do this'. That's all he said and he was never conscious."
"Okay, thanks," Sully said. "What's the word on Bosco?" he asked addressing Davis?
"About the same. Faith said the cut the oxygen back to 60% and that he had his eyes opened a couple of times but he didn't seem aware of where he was."
"Looks like we're going to have to keep trying to figure this out the hard way," Sully said.
"Can I go now?" Jimmy asked the two officers eager to get back to the firehouse. Being in a police station, for whatever reason, made him nervous.
"Yeah, we're done," Sully told him. Jimmy got up and quickly left the room leaving Ty and Sully alone.
"What's our next move?" Davis asked his partner when they were alone.
"Well, we still have a couple of hours until we are suppose to meet Swersky at the crime site and Jimmy statement did give us a clue to start working on. Assuming what Bosco said had anything to do with the incident we need to see if we can figure out who this Mikey is. I say we start looking through Bosco's arrest reports and see if the name pops up."
"That's going to take awhile," Davis said following his partner out of the role call room and back to records.
"Yeah it could," Sully admitted. "Best thing to do is to start current and work our way backwards. Of course with Bosco we may be dealing with someone who has held a grudge for a very long time."
The comment made Davis look at his partner trying to determine if Sully was making the comment as a joke. From the look on his partner's face though he could tell that Sully was serious about what he said.
The two officers searched in silence. For the first hour and a half nothing stood out. They could find no one that Bosco arrested with the name Mikey, Michael, or Mike.
"Damn," Sully said sitting back in his chair and stretching his arms over his head. His eyes were beginning to hurt. "I was worried about the name being to common and finding a whole bunch."
"I know what you me..."
"What did you find, Ty?"
"An drug possession arrest," Ty told him pulling the report out of the pile from the others. "But look at the last name," he said handing the report over to Sully.
Sully took the report from Ty and looked at it himself. "Mikey Boscorelli," he read out loud.
"You don't suppose its just a coincidence do you," Ty said not for once believing it himself.
"No, I don't. Boscorelli isn't exactly a common name. But I can't believe someone would try killing their own brother."
"Don't forget about Cain and Abel," Davis said. Sully just looked at him.
"You're not helping," Sully told him.
"Sorry."
"Lets tell forensic to see if the finger prints they have on Mikey Boscorelli from this arrest match any of the ones that are on the gun and then we need to go meet up with Swersky at the crime site."
He was alone, secured to the pipe above him with the flames dancing beside him. All struggling brought was more pain.
He saw the gun handle come through the air toward him. Felt the pain as it hit.
He had walked down the steps to the basement thinking that this was a false alarm. He was about to radio Central that he had found nothing at this location when someone shoved him from behind and he felt himself tumbling down that last few stairs landing face first on the cement floor below. Before he could get up he felt the weight of someone on top of him pinning him to the floor. 'Faith, we're are you' he thought.
He saw the face of one of his attackers as two others grabbed his arms and drug him to his feet. "Mikey," he heard his own voice say before the metal pipe made contact with his torso. Despite the kevlar vest he could feel the air leave his body.
He wanted to fight back as they bound him but he couldn't. He fought the tears that threatened to fall. He wouldn't give Mikey the satisfaction.
"Not so tough now are you."
"Rest in peace, Maurice."
He fought to stay calm as Mikey placed the gag in his mouth.
'No don't leave me, alone!'
'Don't leave me!'
'No!'
From somewhere in the darkness he heard another voice. He fought to find the source like he was searching for a life line.
"Bos, wake up," the voice said. "You're okay Bos. I'm here. You're not alone."
"Bos, wake up," Faith said softly. "You're okay Bos. I'm here. You're not alone."
Faith already had her partners hand in her own. As she said the words she placed her other hand on her partners forehead, one of the few places that he wasn't bruised, trying to calm her restless partner down. He had opened his eyes briefly about a half hour ago but had seemed completely unaware of where he was.
"No,"she heard him say again his eyes fluttering this time.
"Shh, Bos you're okay," Faith said.
Faith saw his eyes open and he looked around. At first he didn't seem to realize where he was but then slowly Faith saw recognition come into his eyes. And then Bosco did something that he rarely ever did. He started to cry.
Faith quickly put the rail to the hospital bed down and sitting on the edge of the bed pulled her partner into a hug. Bosco hugged her back, clinging tight to his partner despite the pain. He hated for her to see him this way but he couldn't stop the tears and he just wanted to be close to someone.
"Everything is going to be okay now Bos," Faith said quietly trying to comfort her partner and fight back tears of her own. Right now she had to be strong for her partner. She'd cry her own tears later.
"Why got a hot date?," Kim said with a smile.
"No. I just figured since he stayed with me last night when you were suppose to have him you might want to take him tonight. If it's a problem for you, I'll take him."
"It isn't a problem," Kim said quickly. "I'm sorry, that wasn't fair."

"I told him a friend of yours got hurt on the job and you were at the hospital waiting to see how he was. What did you want me to tell him," Jimmy said getting defensive. "Joey immediately connected the incident with Bobby's death. I think he's worried about the same thing happening again," Jimmy said knowing that the issue was still touchy with Kim and figuring that this conversation was going bad enough as it was.
"Okay, I'll pick him up after my shift is over," Kim said.
