A/N:

Bosco stopped the car in front of what; was once Nobles apartment, he glanced over at Rayn, it was obvious her mind was else where at the time. "I'm goin' to have to come up there with you, but if you want I can wait outside if you'd like some privacy."

Rayn gave a few nods followed up by a shrug as she looked over towards Bosco direction. "You won't get in trouble for doing this?" Her eyebrows narrowed as she questioned him.

"I probably will get my ass chewed out for it, but you wanna get your fathers stuff right?"

"Yea some of it." She nodded. "A few things, there's a picture I want, some of the stuff he wrote, that kind of stuff. Nothing much; mementos more or less."

"Right--right okay, sounds good." He said opening his car door as Rayn did the same, following behind as they made their way to her father's apartment. He turned to her before actually entering the apartment. "You okay?'

"Never been better." She said shortly. "I just want to get this whole thing over and done with a quick as possible."

"Okay." He slid the keycard and waited for the light to turn green once he did so he opened the door and let Rayn go ahead of her.

"He shouldn't be in there." Lane hissed, the long day finally getting to him. "Both of them shouldn't be in there. Find out who's working the front desk tonight and see to it there either he or she is fired!"

"Yes sir!" One of the other agents retorted loudly from the back, getting on the phone right away.

"So what are you going to do Sergeant Cruz?" Lane asked angered.

"Let the two dumb asses stay up there for a little bit, think everything is fine then I'll go up there pay Bosco, and that little nina a sweet visit."

"Is that such a good idea, you remember what happened the last time you "paid" someone a visit up there. Noble was shot and killed. That won't happen again Cruz. I will not allow it." He spat his eyes filled with fire, as his blood pressure rose.

"No-one will get shot this time Roy, don't worry about it. No one will get hurt at all. Just a little surprise--surprise for Bosco and that little bitch!" An evil smirk grew across her face. "Trust me it will be fun."

*********

Rayn mindlessly walked through her father's apartment. Dragging one finger along his shelves and then his couch, all around the living room. She came to another set of shelves taking a pair of small, pink Ballet slippers off and holding them in her hand. She stared at them. "I can't believe he kept these ugly things; all these years." She lightly smiled as she looked up at Bosco. Clutching the small slipper tightly in her hands. She rolled her eyes and smirked. "He wanted me to be a Ballerina, go to Juilliard, something like that. Star in The Nutcracker during the holiday season, and Swan Lake the rest of the time. He had it all planned out." She wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. "I -hated- it. The dance instructor was a mega bitch, with her fake Russian accent, even at Five-years old. I was on to the bitch! I -absolutely- hated ballet."

"What did you're Dad think?"

"He wasn't to happy. His next ambition was gymnastics. So he signed me up for that." She put her hands out in front of her sarcastically. "The next Mary Lou Retton!" She laughed. "I had fun with gymnastics for a while. Then I broke my arm, and my dad he ruled the sport off. Said it was throwing Christians to the lions...don't ask me where he got that idea?" She cracked a half smile with a bit of a headshake. "He may have never won father of the year...but he did his best." Her eyes wandered the apartment stopping on a picture. It was recent, from her last birthday. Walking over she pulled it off the of the shelve, and stared blankly at it running her finger over her fathers faces.

Trying to break the strange, eerie silence that now filled the room Bosco spoke. "What's that from?"

"My last birthday. He took me to Tavern on The Green." She said with a smiled.

"How did he manage to do that?" Bosco asked, surprised. He had never been to Tavern on the Green only heard, and from what he knew it coasted an arm and a leg to stand on in front. Not really, but practically.

She let a warm smile grow across her face. "My dad was Aaron Noble...that's how." Her smile quickly faded as she once again stared at the happy faces smiling back, a few tears fell on to the picture; slowly she slid down to her knees, and then was finally in the sitting position. She held the picture in her hand, letting a few tears fall, not caring if Bosco saw her crying, or not. She pulled her knees up to her chest, burring her head into her arms as she cried.

Bosco, not being one who's good in those type of situations stood watching for a few minuets, trying to think of just what he should. Awe man why does she have to cry, man why? What I do? I don't want to say or do anything stupid. Damn it Boscorelli, you need to really watch more of them lame ass Hallmark movies on Lifetime. Sighing to himself Bosco knelt along side Rayn and draped a comforting hand around her shoulder. "I know this sucks Rayn...I'm sorry. I wish there was more I could do." Like un-do that whole fuckin' day. Sure your Dad would be in jail, but it would be better then this. He pulled her into a semi hug, comforting her as she cried.

"Well is this cute? The romantic movie of the year" Cruz smirked.

Bosco quickly stood up. "She wasn't doin' anythin' Maritza. The girl just wanted to get some of her father's things. Jus' leave her alone." Bosco sharply said placing himself between Rayn and Cruz, protecting Rayn. Knowing full well, Cruz would try anything.

"Not doing anything Bosco?" She laughed. "She's here when I told her not to come her. When I told her to stay away from here and you!"

Rayn who was know standing up, stood hiding behind Bosco as he held each of his arms out to the side waiting for any move Cruz would go for.

"Jus' leave her the hell alone Ritza would you! She'll be leavin' in a few an' you won't have to worry about it anymore." Bosco hissed through clenched teeth. "Jus' leave her alone."

Rayn sniffled wiping away a few tears. "Bosco--It's okay."

"Are you mad Bosco 'cause I broke up your little love fest?" She sniggered. "You two really make the perfect couple, a dumb bitch and an even dumber cop."

"Fuck you!" Rayn hissed loudly.

"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Cruz asked, a smirk of happiness across her face.

"My mother's dead, she's been dead since I was 16."

"Save it for Readers Digest!" She said pulling her cuffs out.

"What are you doin' Cruz?" Bosco asked stepping closer to Rayn blocking her from Cruz.

"I told this little bitch, if she came anywhere near here," She pointed to Bosco. "Or you she'd be going to jail. So hunny," She said in a mocking tone towards Rayn. "do not pass go, do not collect Two-Hundred dollars, go directly to jail!" She shoved Bosco out of the way, forcefully pulling Rayns arms behind her back, causing the picture of her and her father to fall to the floor. The glass breaking on impact, She placed the cuffs on her with a highly amused smirk on her face. She then turned her around. "I never make a promise I don't keep. You of all people should know that Bosco." She said pushing Rayn towards the door.

Rayn turned her head looking over at Bosco. Tears in her eyes she tried to speak, but Cruz only pushed her harder.

"Don't worry Rayn, don' worry. I'll figure somethin' out." He said reassuringly as he bent down picking up the picture. He looked up as Cruz disappeared out of the room with Rayn. But what I don' know.
