Chapter 12-Two Of A Kind
Seajae woke up in a cold sweat. She looked at the clock and it read 9:45. She had layed back down at seven. The kids had still been sleeping. So had Bosco. She curled next to him and he took her into his arms and hugged her tight. Smilling she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Now she wasn't in the safe haven of her husbands arms. There was just a cold empty feeling along with her cold empty bed. Sitting up she flexed her arm. It still hurt.
"Your pain pills are in the drawer." She looked up to see Bosco standing in the doorway with a cup of coffee. He hadn't shaved and he looked better then he had in weeks.
"Thanks. How's things out there?"
"Kelly took the kids downstairs. Titianna had an appointment this morning so Kelly and Faith are taking the kids."
"Faith up to it?"
"Seems Em came home this morning." He took a sip of his coffee and looked at her though hooded eyes. "You know anything about that Sunshine?"
"I just picked her up when she called." Seajae leaned back agaist the headboard. "Any of that for me?" She looked at the coffee cup longingly.
"Could be." He took a cup off the dresser and brought it to her. "Other then the arm how did you sleep?"
"You know I don't sleep."
"You need to start. Only vampires keep your hours and I'm the only one who's bit your neck lately."
"With all my late night calls I think I should change shifts."
"You go back to work tomorrow."
"Stabler's coming down to help for a few days. Liv's still on maternity leave." She looked at Bosco. "Only sixty more days of this."
"It won't end there. You and I both know that." Bosco had come to that conclusion at five o'clock when he rolled over and found her gone for the second morning in a row. She lived for the late night calls and the running to the rescue. "It's going to kill you not to work this way. I can see it already."
"You think I can't quit?"
"I know these people would be lost if you did."
"I can do this Bosco. I know I can. And our friends...they'll get over it."
"Where would Charlie be if it hadn't been for you?"
"In good hands with Faith and Caleb."
"No. He wouldn't of called them. Seajea, you do so much for so many people. Jimmy told me about the thing at Grand Central."
"I'm getting old and loosing my edge."
"No Seajae, your just putting more heart into the job." Bosco sat on the bed next to her and set his coffee on the bedside table. "I know running a bar isn't going thrill you like police work does." Seajae looked at her husbands eyes. Only she knew they revield more about him then any words could express.
"I won't let my feelings for my work interfear with this." She kissed him. "I know what I have to do Bosco." The phone range just then. Seajae looked at Bosco. "I'm not answering that."
"You better. It might be Kelly." Seajae frowned at her husband.
"Boscorelli."
"Seajae it's Jason. There's a whole office full of men down here looking for you and Bosco."
"CIA?"
"Yeah." Seajae looked at Bosco. "It's a wonder they didn't pick you up there."
"Fend them off for an hour and we'll be there." She hung up and dialed the phone. "Caleb? Yeah we need some back up down at the station. It seems the CIA is calling us in."
"You got it." Seajae hung up.
"Let's see if I'm cop enough to handle this."
"I don't have any doubts that you can handle this." She stood up and went to her dresser and grabbed some clothes.
"Yeah well we'll see."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
No one in their right mind would of messed with Team Boscorelli at the moment they walked into the station. But the CIA wasn't just anybody. The two long time police officers flanked by several FBI angents and fellow NYPD, they would be stupid to make any moves on the two. Seajae stepped into Jason Christophers office, leaving the door open and her husband and friends lingering outside.
"Detective." A tall man stepped forward. "Special Agent Derren Black." He offered his hand but Seajae just removed her sunglasses. "Thank you for coming down."
"Yeah. So what do you want."
"To keep what happened last week under wraps."
"Let me get this straight.....You try to kill six innocent teenagers and two cops and you want to keep it underwraps."
"We didn't kill anyone." He looked behind her at the men backing her up. "It was an investagation that got out of hand Detective. It happens. You know that as well as I do."
"Your men shot at me and I nearly lost my arm." She looked past Agent Black and at the agent standing behind him. "The shot caused an avalanche."
"I apoligize for any harm my men caused. They acted above and beyond orders. We need to clear this matter up Detective Boscorelli."
"You think an I'm sorry and a smile will make this all go away? I don't think so." She looked at Jason Christopher leaning on his desk. "I won't let this go without a fight Agent Black." She wasn't sure but she could of sworn Jason Christopher snickered.
"I was told you were a hard ass but I thought one law enforcement agency to another....."
"Why were those kids a target?"
"They were never a target. Just a threat. We needed to find out how much."
"They are children."
"Children with families on the job. Kids learn early on who to trust. We had somethings that couldn't get out. Things that their counsoler discussed when they were present."
"None of them heard a thing. Just some threats. That's all."
"We need to be sure."
"My word isn't good enough." She wasn't going to back down. Those around her knew she wouldn't and the man in front of her wasn't smart enought to let it go at that.
"At this point, God's word wouldn't be good enough." Seajae took another step into the office and closed the door. Bosco, Caleb, and the half a dozen others looked up and watched as the anger built. Bosco moved from his spot agaist the wall and took a step forward. Caleb stopped him.
"Easy hoss. Let the woman have her say. She can handle this."
"I know." Bosco watched though the window. Seajae looked into Agents Blacks cold blue eyes.
"I will not stand by and let you treat those children like criminals. They arn't part of anything this guy was into. He's dead now and what ever it was died with him."
"I need to be sure Detective."
"Be sure. Those kids have nothing." Anyone would of backed down with the tone of voice Seajae was using. But Special Agent Black wasn't just anybody. He was the best at what he did. And what he did was keep people quiet.
"I read your jacket Boscorelli."
"Then you know I won't be pushed around Black."
"All I know is your a hard ass that doesn't play by the rules. You defy athourity and bend things to suit your mood." Seajae looked at Christopher and he just shrugged.
"I get the job done Agent Black. And I've never killed anyone because they know to much."
"Getting the job done takes alot of skill and tallent. You play this like it's a game." He looked her in the eye. "This is not a game you want to play Detective." The two standing face to face were two sides of the same coin. They both wanted the same thing but were too stubbern to admit it. Agent Black was Seajae Boscorelli before she realized that playing by the rules always didn't mean winning.
"I want those kids and there families safe and left alone."
"All I want is to talk to them. Find out what they know. I have no intention of harming them. You and your FBI goons can be there to asure that."
"You bet your ass we'll be there. Because if one hair on those kids heads is out of place I'm going to blow your world wide open." Agent Black smiled then.
"I wouldn't have it anyother way Detective."
