Chapter 13-Hidden Away
Bosco watched Seajae get her running shoes on. He should really go with her but Kelly wasn't do till later and Emily was still sleeping off her college parties. Something was bothering her or she wouldn't be running. He called Jimmy while she was in the bathroom and told him to get up and go for a run. By the sound of it he interupted something. He didn't care. He needed to know that Seajae was okay. And next to him and Sully, Jimmy could find out more then anyone.
"Be carefull."
"Why would I do something as foolish as that?"
"Nows not the time to be a smart ass Seajae." She looked up from her shoes and saw her huband for the first time in a long time look angry at her.
"Yeah well thats all I got."
"Seajae....." She straitened and headed out the door. "Damn it woman." Bosco followed her into the hall. "You need to watch your back."
"I always do."
"No you don't." He grabbed her arm. "Seajae."
"Take your hand off of me Maurice." The look on her face told Bosco he had pushed to far. Releasing her he turned and looked out the big bay window.
"You need to be careful."
"You need to stop worrying Bosco."
"I'll never stop worrying about you Sunshine." Seajae looked at him.
"You need to stop. I've taken care of myself for this long."
"You can't make me stop worrying, loving or caring about you Seajae. Don't you think I haven't tried. Now go for your run so we can get back to our lives." Seajae put her gun and phone on her waistband and walked out of the house before she said something they both would regret. They faught a little more each day and it was making a rift between them. If it wasn't repaired soon they would both loose the best things in thier lives....eachother.

Jimmy was outside sitting on the bottom steps with two cups of coffee from the deli across the street.
"I don't want to run."
"Nobody says you had to."
"Yeah. Bosco said."
"Since when do you listen to him?"
"Since I learned if I don't he makes my life a living hell." Jimmy handed her a cup of coffee and she sat down. "He loves you more then anything Seajae. And the more you shut him out the more he feels you don't love him like that anymore."
"I love him like I always have."
"Maybe that's the problem. You never loved him with everything you have."
"You know better then that Jimmy."
"I know you hold back something from us all. Something you never want us to see. I know I never once saw you afraid. Not of anything. You've followed me into fires, you've had buildings fall on you. You've been shot at, beat on. What scares you Seajae?" Seajae took a sip of her coffee and looked into the rising sun.
"Loosing."
"Loosing what?"
"Everything. My life, my job, my kids, my friends." She looked down at the sidewalk under her feet. "I have had it all taken away from me over and over again. My life, my family when I was two. Again at eight when my uncle sent me to boarding school. Every summer and every fall I lost my school and then my foster families. After I joined the Marshall's I was stationed here and there because I had no family." She took another sip of her coffee. "The men I let into my life never made me feel. I stopped feeling along time ago. Then Bosco. He made me feel again."
"That's a good thing."
"Yeah it was. For along time. I felt things I never felt. Love, joy, happiness." She looked back down at the sidewalk. "I just don't know how to hold on to them."
"You've done it well for eight years Seajae. Why is it hard for you to hold on to it now?"
"Maybe I just can't do it anymore."
"Why? You have everything to loose if you give up."
"I know. And all I want to do is pick fights and make him mad at me."
"When you came into my life, that's the way I felt about Kim. I loved to look at her and loved to be with her but I couldn't stand to have her in my life." Jimmy looked at Seajae. "I remeber about a week before Chistmas I went to her apartment to bring some presents for Joey. She opened the door and she looked so beautiful." He smiled. "And she looked at me and asked me 'What the hell do you want Doherty?'. And I wanted to say 'You Kimmmy.....I want you and Joey and me to be a family'. All I did was shove the presents at her and said 'Merry Fucken Christmas' and walked away."
"But in the end...it all worked out."
"Not without you telling me what an ass I had been over and over for two years. What about after Sully was shot. You ran. Where did it get you?" Standing she looked at Jimmy.
"I lost a husband and a baby."
"You got your husband back. You always said that that child was never ment to be. But I know in your heart you grieve for it." He looked her in the eyes. "For her."
"Melinie Rose."
"You ever tell Bosco you named her?"
"No."
"You need to tell him things like that."
"I'm tiered. I really can't make it work when I feel like this."
"You told me once to stop my belly aching and go tell my wife that I love her." Jimmy stood up. "I'm telling you don't let that man go. You need him as much as he needs you." He looked up to the window that he knew was her's and Bosco's bed room. "Go up there and tell him everything your scared of. Everything you need to make it work."
"And what if it starts the fight to end all fights?"
"Then you went out fighting." Jimmy turned around and headed back into the building. He knew if Seajae turned and started running she would never fix what was between her and Bosco. If she ran Bosco would never forgive him if he didn't follow.
"When did you get so smart with matters of the heart?"
"Since two woman taught me how to love again." Jimmy went inside and Seajae lowered herself onto the bottom step. Jimmy was right. She needed to talk to Bosco. The door opened and Bosco stepped out.
"Hey."
"Hi."
"Jimmy's watching the kids. He said we needed to run together." He extened his arm and Seajae took his hand. He helped her up.
"I think for the first time in a long time I don't want to run." Bosco took his wife in his arms and held her tight. He knew that asking her to quit had torn them apart and asking her not to met Special Agent Black this afternoon was out of the question.
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"You and me both." She felt Bosco's arms tighten around you. "Those kids need us."
"I know." Two pagers and Seajae's cell phone rang. "God I can't even apoligize to my husband for being an ass." Sejae took of her phone and started to throw it. Bosco stopped her and showed her his pager.
"Sully...911." Seajae dropped her hand and pressed the botten on her cell phone.
"Boscorelli."
"You and Bosco need to get 4563 Lex."
"The safe house?"
"Yeah."
"Sully?"
"Just get down here." Seajae hung up the phone.
"I don't think I'm going to like what we find." Bosco lead her to the truck parked in front of the building.
"We won't know till we get there."
"We should tell Jimmy."
"Kelly's on her way." Bosco threw the siren on the dash and pulled out into traffic. "Sully give you any idea why we need to be there."
"I can only imagian if the brought him from behind his desk." Seajae looked at Bosco. "I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For everything." She looked ahead. "I just....."
"Baby don't...not now." He reached over and took her hand. "We have forever to work it all out. I don't want to do it now when we have a crisis."
"When don't we have a crisis." Seajae laughed. They pulled up in front of the address. "Holy shit." Their were squads, marked and un marked. Fire and rescue vehicles. They got out of the truck. Sully came up to them.
"You need to take a breath before you even think about me telling you what happened."
"Sully its not like you to play games....don't start now." There was an anger in her eyes neither men had seen before. She knew without Sully telling her. The kids were gone. All of them. "Are they dead?"
"No. They took them and their parents before they torched the place." Bosco reached for her. She pulled away.
"Agent Black better wish he hadn't done this."
"Black is talking to the first responders. Seajae the CIA says they had nothing to do with it."
"The CIA says that alot Sully. You should know that." Bosco put his hand on her shoulder. She strugged off. "I suggest you do more then that if you want to keep me from killing that son of a bitch." She took off before either one of the two men could stop her. Heads turned as she pushed passed the crowds of police and rescue workes. Jason Christopher saw where she was headed and nearly tackled her to stop her from taking off the CIA agents head.
"Boscorelli...you need to back down."
"I warned him Jason...I told him what I would do if he laid a hand on those kids." She struggled agaist the hold he had on her. "Let go of me."
"I know better then most I can't order you to back down but Seajae your only going to make matters worse." She struggled more as Sully and Bosco caught up to them. "If I let you go will you behave."
"What do you think."
"Bosco get her out of here." Jason loosened his grip just enough and Seajae flew out of his arms right to the neck of Special Agent Black. "Seajae!" Three men took off after the woman. Agent Black looked up to see a hundered and thirty pounds of anger coming straight for his throat.
"Detective...."
"You bastard...." Her sunglasses flew off her head and her cell phone and pager off her belt. A quick thinking Bosco ripped the holster and gun off her waist before she reached for it and threated to use it. Seajae hit Black and Black hit the ground. Before she got off a punch that would land her in deeper touble then she was already in Sully and Bosco pulled her off of the Agent who out weighed her by a hundred pounds. "You hurt one hair on those kids head I will kill you, you son of a bitch." Black got off and wiped his suit off.
"Your in a whole lotta trouble Detective Boscorelli."
"Yeah well it wouldn't be the first time. Where are they Black."
"I don't have a clue. My agency had nothing to do with this mess."
"Its got CIA written all over it Black." She pushed against the three men holding her back. "Get your hands off of me......damn it." She pushed agiast the people holding her back. "You are such a lier Black....I trusted you."
"Damn it Seajae I had nothing to do with this. I swear." He took of his sunglasses and looked at her with his steele blue eyes. "I swear." Seajae relaxed. Sully and Jason let go of her but Bosco held firm.
"Then who?" She relaxed a little more but Bosco knew better then to let his grip loosen all the way.
"I don't know. Seajae I honetly didn't know where they were. I was waiting for your call this morning to talk to them. I don't back down on deals. I'm as stand up as they come."
"Ego trip Black."
"It's the truth. Ask McKenzie. We worked together alot of years." He took off his sunglassed. "I'm sorry this happened. It wasn't my team." Seajae could smell a lie a mile away and Agent Black wasn't lieing. "I don't think they would send in a team without notifing me first."
"You can't predict what they will do or not do....you know that Black." She turned to Bosco. "You can give me back my gun Bosco." Seajae held out her hand. Silently he handed it to her. He looked at her. Blond hair mussed, cheeks red with anger.
"We need to find those kids. My god they haven't a clue what the hell is going on." Jason Christopher handed her her phone and pager. "Im sorry Agent Black."
"I understand.....Boscorelli, Keep a leash on your wife."
"Man I tried....beleive me."
"If the CIA has them Seajae...I will find them no matter how well they have them hidden away."
"I'm holding you to that."
