Faith stalked toward the closet door. The man was awake. He was yelling and banging on the door. Bastard. She could hear sirens outside. Backup.

She opened the door. Looked at him with disgust. "Get the hell up now."

"Make me." He spat. She hauled him up by the handcuffs, making him wince in pain. She put her face close to his. "Don't tempt me, mister. I'm warning you, don't tempt me." She paused. "Guess what? My partner, Bos, who you tried to kill twice, he's fine. He's gonna be good as new. I'm gonna find out why you tried to kill him. You'd better be ready to talk when you get to the station, 'cause if you wait, then I'm gonna be the one asking questions, and you won't like that at all."

"Oh, yeah, I'm real scared. Whatcha gonna do, bitch?" His face was a sneer.

Faith saw red. She hit him across the face with the back of her fist. Screamed at him. She didn't even know what she said. She grabbed him and slammed him into the wall. He slumped to the ground.

"Yokas! That's enough!" Sully appeared at her side and grabbed her in his arms, restraining her. She put her head on his shoulder and just sobbed. "Shh, it's ok. Bosco's ok, isn't he?"

She nodded. "He is now. But he almost died, Sully. He almost died right there. I was holding his hand and I felt him slipping away. If it wasn't for that doctor…" She shuddered. "He'd be dead."

"But he's not dead. He's alive. That's all that matters right now. That's all." He paused. "Do you wanna go home or do want me to get you a cot for Bosco's room?"

She sniffed and wiped her eyes. "I'm not leaving Bos."

He nodded. "Ok. Be right back."

Ty was standing over the man, who was coming to. "You picked the wrong team to mess with, dude. Faith Yokas is one hell of wildcat."

The man groaned. "Go to hell."

"We have a positive ID on the perp, a Drew Paul. He's wanted on minor charges. Nothing too big. Nothing like this." The officer handed the file to the Lieutenant. He looked it over. "Why would he shoot Boscorelli for a traffic stop? There's something else going on here. Send someone to find out his address, number, all that stuff, and get back to me." He frowned. He called to another officer. "That vest in from forensics yet?" The officer shook his head. "Another couple hours, Lieu." Swersky looked up as Yokas walked in.

"Yokas!" She turned in the direction of his voice. "I told you not to come in today."

"Yeah, well, I'm here. I'm gonna sit on that guy 'til he cracks."

"You're not getting anywhere near him. I have a detective in there now. You can watch if you want, though." She started to argue. "Hey - I mean it. No amount of arguing is going to make me change my mind." She nodded. "Ok, Lieu." She took Paul's file from the Lieutenant. "This his?"

"Yeah. Go ahead and look over it." Faith nodded.

----------------------------------------------------

The detective was talking to the Lieutenant. "He says someone ordered the hit but he's not rollin' over just yet. You want us to try again today?"

"No. Let's just see what our investigation digs up. And the lab reports."

Thomas watched from the shadows. He had to get to Paul before he spilled everything.
