"Central, what's the location of 55-David?" Sully asked as he and
Davis headed out of the station to their RMP. Night was falling which was
only going to make their job harder. As he waited for the reply he opened
the door and got into the driver's seat.
"We show 55-David at the scene of an accident at 84th and Arthur."
"10-4 Central," Sully said.
Sully eased the car onto the street and headed for the scene of the accident. As he approached the intersection he pulled the car off to the side and got out. Davis stayed in the car. "Hey, Yokas," Sully called to her. She was directing traffic around the car accident.
"What's up Sul?" She motioned to Gussler, whom she was riding with today, to take her place. He quickly came over and took over directing traffic. Faith made her way to the sidewalk where Sully was waiting.
"The Captain wants to know if you want to join the search for Bosco's brother?"
"He told me at the beginning of the shift he didn't want me to. He thought I was too close to the situation. What changed his mind."
"Bosco left the hospital AMA. Its now a race to find Michael Boscorelli before Bosco does."
"Great. I should have known Bosco was going to pull something like this. I should've never came back. I could've maybe talked him out of leaving."
"You can't blame yourself, Faith. Bosco's a grown man. He does what he wants and if he gets his mind set on something no one is going to talk him out of it. You should know that by now."
"Yeah, but I could have tried," Faith told him still feeling guilty even though she knew she shouldn't. She couldn't help but feel as if she had been letting her partner down a lot the last couple of days. " I think we're about done here," she said looking around at the accident scene. The paramedics had already transported the victims from the scene. The fire company and tow truck drivers were now trying to clean things up. "As soon as they finish the clean up we'll start looking. Keep in touch."
"You too," Sully told her going back to the car where Davis was still waiting.
"So, where do you want to go first?" Davis asked as his partner got back in the car.
"I'm not sure. No one has a current address for him, not even his mother, and it's a big city. Basically we're looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Why don't we start by finding some of your contacts," Davis said. "Maybe we'll get lucky and one of them will have heard or seen something."
"Its worth a shot," Sully said pulling out into traffic. And besides he didn't have any better ideas.
Christopher was starting to wonder if Boscorelli really had any clue to where he was going. He had been following him for the last couple of hours and as far as he could tell Bosco was going no where in particular. In fact a few times Bosco had led them in a complete circle.
By this time, as far as Christopher could tell he was the only one left following Boscorelli. The plainclothes guys he had noticed at the beginning of the pursuit had gotten lost somewhere along the way. Which was probably Boscorelli's goal, which would explain the circles. He wasn't sure if Boscorelli still knew he was being followed or not.
They were on the subway right now and Christopher knew he ran a huge chance of getting caught. He had to be on the same car as Bosco so that he knew when he got off. He had taken a seat at the far end of the car where there were three other people, the only other people on the car. As the train pulled into the station he noticed Bosco get up from his seat and prepare to leave the car.
He watched as Bosco left the car and then exited at the last possible second. He made sure there were a few people in between him and Bosco to lessen the chance of being spotted as they headed up the steps to street level.
"Damn," Christopher muttered as he walked out onto the sidewalk from the steps. He didn't see Bosco anywhere. Taking a guess he headed for the nearest intersection.
On the corner of the street he looked around trying to find some sign of Boscorelli. He was just about to give up and head back to his rental car when he happened to catch a glimpse of his quarry across the street.
Christopher waited impatiently for the light to change and the hurried across the street keeping an eye on Boscorelli. As he closed to within ten feet of Bosco he slowed down to a stroll. He had to be careful not to make any more mistakes. He had gotten lucky that he had picked the right direction. He might not be so lucky the next time.
Up ahead, Bosco went inside a small coffee shop. To keep from raising suspicion Christopher walked past the coffee shop casually glancing inside as he did so. Bosco was sitting at a table in a corner. Christopher crossed across the street and bought a magazine from a drugstore. When he came out Bosco had a cup of coffee sitting in front of him. He appeared to be planning on staying for a little while.
Christopher went over to the steps of a nearby apartment building and starting browsing through the magazine. From his spot on the steps he had the perfect view of Bosco in the coffee shop across the street. He took a deep breath and settled in for another wait.
"Any luck?" Davis asked as Sully got back into the car. This was the fifth one of Sully's contacts that they had located. So far they hadn't had any luck. Three of them had never even heard of Mikey Boscorelli before. The fourth one, who knew who he was, hadn't seen him since his last arrest for drug possession. The arrest that Bosco had made.
"No, he hasn't seen him in the last couple of weeks," Sully said.
"So what do we do next?"
"I don't know," Sully said. He had already contacted all of his regular contacts. There were other contacts but he hadn't seen them recently. For all he knew they were in jail, or dead. He wasn't going to waste time looking for them. Come to think of it though, they were wasting time sitting here. "Damn, this is frustrating."
"Yeah, well I got more bad news," Davis said. "Swersky called why you were out talking to your contact. Seems the plainclothes units who were tailing Bosco lost them. He must have known he was being followed because Swersky said he was leading them in circles before they lost them. He wants us to keep an eye out for Bosco too."
"Great. We're looking for two people out of an entire city."
"They also think that Christopher might still be tailing Bosco."
"What!" Sully exclaimed. This was getting worse by the moment.
"Evidently Christopher was watching Bosco's apartment too. No one knows why. He was following Bosco and the plainclothes guys were tailing both of them. The last they saw Christopher was still tailing Bosco."
Without saying anything else Sully turned the car on and pulled out into the light traffic that was on the streets.
"I thought you didn't know what to do next."
"I don't. I'm just driving. Keep an eye out for either of them and if you get any brainstorms let me know."
They drove in silence after that. Ty watching the sidewalks for any sign of Bosco or Mikey or even Christopher and Sully half looking for them while paying attention to the road. Sully had thought that being out on the streets helping with the search would make him feel like he was actually doing something. Instead he was just getting more frustrated. Where were they?
"Damn," Faith said pressing the button on her cell phone to end the call. "He still isn't answering his cell phone. All I'm getting is his voice mail." She had already left about three messages pleading for him to call her back as soon as he got the message. She was tempted to leave another one but she knew it would be pointless.
"Maybe he went back to his apartment," Gussler said from the driver's seat of the RMP trying to be helpful. He had been shocked when Faith had told him to drive but he hadn't been about to tell her no.
"I've already tried his apartment twice more. He's still out there somewhere searching for his brother."
Faith looked at the clock. It was almost ten thirty. Their shift was almost over and they hadn't gotten anywhere in their search. She couldn't help but feel like the shift had been wasted. Someone should've have found something, anything, that would give hem some clue as to where he was hiding. Instead, they had added people to their search.
"Head back over to 56th street," Faith told Gussler.
"We've driven past the crime scene three times already," Gussler said even as he made the next left to head back over to 56th street. Even though he was driving Yokas was still in charge. He was going to go wherever she told him to.
"I know," Faith said. "I just don't know where else to look."
She was also hoping that Bosco wouldn't either and would be searching in that area for clues as to his brother's whereabouts. Ever since they had gotten the call from Swersky that the plainclothes unit had lost Bosco she had more been searching for her partner than for Mikey. She still felt guilty about not being with him the other night and wanted to find him. She needed to know that he was safe. Nothing else mattered right now.
Within minutes they were driving slowly past the abandoned building where the attack on Bosco had taken place. The yellow crime scene tape was still up but no one was on the site. They had already figured out everything they could from the site. It was unlikely that Mikey would come back. For all they knew Mikey thought that his brother was dead. There was no reason to return to the scene. However, he might still be in the area. For this reason, most of the units involved in the search were patrolling in the surrounding area. Faith just wished that someone would see something.
"Turn right the next chance you get," Faith told Gussler her eyes never leaving the sidewalk.
Gussler did as he was told. He honestly thought they were all out here wasting there time. They could be anywhere in the city. If they did find Mikey or Maurice Boscorelli it was going to be by pure luck and nothing else.
"We should head back to the station," Gussler said at eleven fifteen. Their shift was over in fifteen minutes and they were expected to be there. Gussler didn't want to get into trouble for any reason.
"I guess your right," Faith said reluctantly from the passenger seat. She didn't want to admit defeat. She had hoped that someone would have spotted one of them by now. That they would either have Mikey in custody or she would know that her partner was safe.
They rode back to the station in silence. Faith didn't want to talk and Gussler didn't know what to say. They pulled up to the station at about the same time as 55-Charlie did.
They four officers walked into the station and headed for the locker room in silence. They were all disappointed and no one knew what to say to each other.
Just as Faith was putting her bullet proof vest into the locker Lt. Swersky poked his head into the locker room.
"If anyone wants to work overtime and keep looking meet in the role call room in ten minutes," he told them and then disappeared as quickly as he showed up.
Immediately, Faith grabbed her vest out of the locker and started putting it on. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Sully and Davis doing the same thing as well as two other members of the third watch.
"We show 55-David at the scene of an accident at 84th and Arthur."
"10-4 Central," Sully said.
Sully eased the car onto the street and headed for the scene of the accident. As he approached the intersection he pulled the car off to the side and got out. Davis stayed in the car. "Hey, Yokas," Sully called to her. She was directing traffic around the car accident.
