Faith walked up the steps to the precient, her uniform slung over her arm. She had a slight smile on her face. She was still sad about Charlie's death, but she was at a point where she could accept he was gone and begin to get back to normal. She stopped in Swersky's office to pick up her new tag that read "Sgt. Mitchell". She walked into the locker room and continued to change. When she was finished, she made her way to the front desk to start the day. She was still a bit of a paper pusher, but now she got to go out on calls and do some real police work.

She was sitting at her desk when the call came in, convience store robbery with hostages. She grabbed her keys and was on her way. When she arrived at the scene, Sully and Davis were already there.

"Faith" called Sully, jogging up to her

"What's up, Sul?"

"Bosco's in there..."

"What?"

"We just found out... Aparently there was one shot fired, but we don't know who's hurt."

"Will they let a paramedic in?"

"They said that they'd let two in to check out the one who was shot and one who was beat up pretty bad...." he paused with uncertainty

"Bos?"

He nodded his head.

"I have an idea."

"What?"

"Couple years back, me and my daughter were held hostage in a bank and Bosco came in dressed as a medic and me and him were able to overpower the guy...I think it might work again. I could use Levine's uniform and go in with Kim."

"You'd have to talk to the medics and make sure it's safe..."

~*~*~*~*~

Faith and Kim were carefully escorted into the convience store. Faith had on Levine's uniform, and made her way to the back of the store where Bosco was laying on the floor, nursing a black eye, busted lip and a cut on his head. Kim went up to the front to helo the shop owner who was shot in the leg. It wasn't serious, therefore Kim could handle it herself. Bosco eye's lit up when he saw Faith. He had the urge to laugh but knew it'd be a bad idea. Faith ran her hand down his face as she pretended to examine his head.

"Got your gun?" she whispered. He tugged on his pant leg, pulling it up to reveal his ankel holster, gun securely inside.

"Got yours?" he asked

She nodded and pulled her shirt up to show her gun tucked into her waist band. It wasn't visible because the shirt was too big on her.

"Whatcha think?" she said glancing back to make sure the guy was occupied with someone else

"Crawl behind him, shoot his ass."

"Sounds good to me."

Bosco nodded and him and Faith crouched on the ground. They walked behind the man and looked at each other breifly before knocking something over to startle him. He whipped around and was about to shoot them when both of them fired their guns, leaving two wounds in his chest. Officers rushed in and Bosco and Faith collapsed on the floor. Bosco gripped his head and tried to stop the spinning.

"Bos? What's the matter?"

"Just dizzy. I hurt..."

"Where?"

"My face"

"You're beat up pretty bad. Let Kim look at ya.."

He nodded. He was usually opposed to medical attention, but in this case he relented. Faith called Kim over and she began to clean the blood from his head.

~*~*~*~*~

Bosco was sitting up in the back of the bus. Kim had cleaned him up and checked him out. She said if he went home and lay down right away, not doing anything for a few days. Faith told Kim she'd make sure he was alright and her and Bosco called Swersky and took a few days off.

Faith unlocked the door to the house and led Bosco inside. He carried himself up the stairs while Faith went to get him some ice for his swollen face. She climbed the stairs and peered into the nursery. Noelle was laying down asleep, with Rose asleep on the futon in the room. Emily was at a friends house for the night. She walked into the bedroom. Bosco had stripped down to his boxers and was laying on his back looking at the ceiling. Faith noticed a large black and blue bruise on his chest.

"Bos?" she said softly

"Yea..."

"You didn't tell them you got punched in the stomach..."

"Didn't realize..It doesn't hurt" he said lifting his neck so he could se the bruise

"You sure?"

He nodded and shifted on the bed. Faith laid a bag of ice on his face.

"Sh*t!" he flinched "That's cold!"

"It's ice, Bos."

He growled slightly and settled down onto the pillow with the ice on his face. He had his eyes trained on Faith as she busied herself straightening out the room.

"Stop staring" she said, her back to him

"I wasn't staring."

"Yea ya were."

"Was not."

"Stubborn..."

"I wasn't staring."

"Whateva' Bos, I'm gonna go shower. I love ya"

"I wasn't staring."

Faith rolled her eyes. It amazed her how he could act like such a child at times.

Bosco heard the shower start and groaned as he got out of bed. He got the lighter and lit almost all the candles in the room before getting back into bed. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep as Faith came in the room, wrapped in a towel.

"Huh." she said walking over to the bed. She dragged one of her fingers across his chest, before straddling his lap. He looked at her and smiled as she kissed his lips...
