Bosco was at his mothers' house when the call came in. Faith, Ty, and Sully stood around him as Carlos and Rose sat on the sofa. Bosco growled and put his phone in his pocket. "Ma, where's Mikey?"
"He's at his job. He works at an envelope factory lugging boxes down in the factory district. Why? Was that Mikey?" Rose looked up, wondering who the call was from. Bosco shook his head and sighed.
"Do you have his cell phone #?" Bosco knew Mercedes had it, but that was no use. Then there was a knock at the door. Bosco went to answer it, and Mikey was on the doorstep.
"Mikey? What are you doing here?" Bosco looked suspiciously over his brother as Mikey moved inside and hugged Rose.
"I got a call. They said you needed to see me and go to Ma's. What did you need me for?" Mikey looked at the group of people. He knew Faith, and had seen the other 2 cops before. But the guy sitting with his mother was new. "Who's that?"
"Carlos. Mikey, our other brother. Mikey, Carlos. Mercedes new boyfriend. Mikey, hunny, we need to talk." Rose hugged her son. Mikey noticed Mercedes wasn't around and stood up, looking for her.
"Where's Mercedes, if we're gunna talk, she should be here. And why are there 3 cops and a boyfriend here?" Mikey looked from his mother to Maurice, as he got confused.
"Mercedes was kidnapped. Last night, in front of Ma's bar. We got into a fight, and she stormed out. Someone grabbed her and that's all we know. Someone just called me, and wants all of us to meet to try to get her back. We need dad there." Maurice looked at Mikey, knowing he kept in touch with their father.
"Dad? Who took her? Why are we standing here?" Mikey got frantic as Rose moved to him to console him. Carlos looked up suddenly.
"They said no cops, right?" Bosco nodded, wondering why Carlos piped in when he felt Carlos shouldn't even be involved.
"Well.. When Doc and are partnered, we sit a block away from the Bridge, and wait for calls. We do it daily. If I got Doc involved, and we sat the Bus out there, you all could hide in it and no one would see you. And you could be covered." Carlos looked optimistic. Bosco shook his head.
"No way. If they see anyone there, Mercedes could get hurt. Too dangerous." Mikey looked at Maurice as he called their father and paged him with 69.
"Mikey, go meet with Dad, tell him he needs to be there, because whoever it is wants all of us, and if he doesn't come he could be in danger." Mikey nodded, passing his # to Maurice, then walked out as Faith piped in.
"The bus idea is good Boz. Think about it, no one suspects 2 EMT's. They are just doing their job. Let us do it. Maybe we can catch the stupid bastard who took her." Ty nodded, in agreement.
"Fine. Lets all go now. We can set everything up at the station." Maurice walked his mother out as Faith and Ty got in Sully's car and Maurice, Carlos and Rose got in his. They drove off to get what they needed.
"He's at his job. He works at an envelope factory lugging boxes down in the factory district. Why? Was that Mikey?" Rose looked up, wondering who the call was from. Bosco shook his head and sighed.
