Mercedes had become more addicted to Cocaine with each passing week. It had been almost 6 weeks since Kevin died and between the Vicodin and Cocaine, Mercedes had become more aggravated and paranoid. She didn't trust anyone or anything, and her and Carlos were on the outs. She was in need of a fix now, and had no money. She needed a favor and moved into the bar, moving into Matty's office. She stepped before him and looked at him.

"I need some, now."

"You haven't paid me for the last time. I know a way you can pay me for it." He had ideas. She would never go for that, though.

"Please, I'll give you my jewelry. I just need to get rid of this pain. Here." She took off her watch. It had her initials inscribed under the hands of the clock. It was worth a good $500.00.

"And this is for?"

"It will cover my debt, and get me enough to last the week. Please. I need it Matty." She looked down at him; she had lost significant weight, and had gone pale since becoming addicted to Coke. She looked towards his stash, even though it wasn't obvious. He nodded, getting out a bag.

"Here you go. You are paid off. But next time you want some, I want Cash up front, or something else. As incentive, I will give you a bonus. here is a bottle of Prozac, try them, they relax you good." He moved his hand over her thigh and she backed away. She shook her head.

"Thanks Matty." She was out the door. She moved towards her car and heard sirens. Her heart jumped in her throat as she looked around the corner and saw units of cops surrounding the bar. She jumped in her car and took off.

Ty Davis, Sasha Monroe, Maurice Boscorelli, Faith Yokas, Jonathon Sullivan, Sergeant Christopher, and Lieutenant Swertzky as well as ESU and ACU searched the place. They gathered up the druggies and Matty, lining them against the wall outside. Davis and Monroe looked through his belongs as Bosco and Yokas walked in, to help. Davis opened the desk drawer and paused, seeing the watch.

"Yo, Boz, isn't this Mercedes watch?" He held it up, showing it to him. Bosco grabbed it and looked it over, nodding.

"How did... She was wearing it this morning. Oh no. Why didn't I see it!" Without explaining he ran outside and grabbed Matty. He knew him from when Mikey hung out with him. He threw him into the street and pinned him.

"How did you get my sister's watch! Tell me!" He kneed his head against the pavement. Yokas, Davis and Monroe watched as he grilled the guy. Cruz walked over and demanded to know what was going on. Bosco gave no answer and Matty laughed.

"She bought a good-sized bag from me." He looked up. Only Bosco heard him, and Cruz wanted to know what was going on. The opportunity to bust a ring involving a cop, that would give her recognition up the ass. She wanted it, no matter who it hurt. Bosco pulled him up, getting in his face, speaking softly, yet firmly.

"How long ago?"

"About 5 minutes. I thought she was doing a bust for you. Until you found her watch and asked me where it came from." He looked Bosco in the eyes.

"No, she wasn't doing a bust. But you will be." He threw Matty at ACU and Cruz walked up to him, demanding an answer.

"Bosco, what is going on? Tell me!"

"He used to sell drugs to my brother! I hate him. Why don't you go do your job and get off my ass!" He walked away from her. He wanted to go after his sister, but he had to finish up here. He knew who to ask for help, and would do so. He had to help her, and he knew who would agree without getting her in trouble. He called Carlos, and told him to meet after their shift at Haggerty's.
