I Don't own anything except Grand Moff Houston, the Earth Space Fleet, BJ, Marc, Jen, and Steve. Any relation to the events of Sept. 11, 2001 is pure fiction.

The Empire Strikes Back-Setting 3 years after CtoD (Sept. 12, 2001)

Sgt. Christopher walked into the locker room.
"Boscorelli."
"What did I allegedly do to those two morons now?" Faith looked up at Bosco.
"Bosco, I thought I told you to make up with him."
"Lt. Swersky wants to see you."
"Those two are going to get it." Bosco stormed out of the room.
"He is a ticking time bomb."
"And so is Marcus."
"I'll treat him with kid-gloves from now on."
"Who?"
"Bosco."

"Hey BJ, check this out." Jen called out.
"What?"
"Houston's fleet is on the move." BJ looked at the monitor.
"Why is a fleet of Star Destroyers heading for a shipping lane?"
"Don't ask me." BJ stared at Marc.
"I wasn't asking you."
"What's your problem? Bosco give you a ticket."
"Try dealing with three crying kids for a night."
"He makes Bosco appear to be a decent person."
"I'll talk to him."
"You smell better than me." Jen slapped Marc across the face.

"You wanted to see me?"
"Come in and close the door." Nick sat down.
"How's he holding up?"
"Yesterday, he tried to arrest a hot dog vendor and Officer Boscorelli from the 55."
"Why'd he do that?"
"He claimed the vendor overcharged him and Boscorelli threatened him." The phone rang.
"Van Buren." Nick looked at her.
"Who is this? Sgt. Christopher. What did he do? Thank you."
"What was that?"
"The 55 just picked up BJ for drunk driving. His kids were in the car."
"I'll go over there and claim him."

Nick arrived at the 55th. He went to the desk where a redheaded sergeant was doing paperwork.
"Can I help you officer?"
"I'm looking for Sgt. Christopher."
"You found him. You must be Franklin from the 27."
"Yep."
"Come with me." Nick followed.
"Officers Sullivan and Davis found him weaving down Broadway. They stopped him and found the kids in the back. BJ and the kids were brought in. Do they have any family in the city? If not, I have to call Children's Services."
"His brother lives in the city. I'll have Van Buren call him." BJ looked up when he saw Nick. Bosco was doing Sully's paperwork on BJ when they entered.
"What are you doing here?"
"I came for the kids."
"I don't need you looking after them."
"Your brother is coming to get them and I am taking you back to the 27." Nick went to inform Van Buren. "27-David to 27-Desk." BJ stared at Bosco who was laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Seeing you on the other side of the bars." Steve came in.
"Shut up, Bosco. Christopher wants you to wash his car." Bosco stormed out.
"Steve get me out of here. I want to kill him."
"Sarge said you're going to the 27 as soon as Andros gets here." Marc walked by and doubled back.
"There you are. Jen's looking for you. This will not..."
"Shut up, or I'll see to it you're assigned to Bosco for the week."
"You wouldn't."
"I would if you say anything to Jen."
"Good, if you tell Tina same thing happens."
"I did my time and she's not a member of the press." Sully walked into the room.
"BJ, everything's set. Nick's taking you to the 27 and Andros has the kids. I know he knows how to dial 911." Sully opened the cell.
"See you soon." Marc fanned BJ's drunk breath away. Nick returned with Sgt. Christopher.
"Why is Boscorelli washing my car?"
"To shut him up." Nick grabbed BJ who was amused at the torture Bosco received each day.
"Which car is he washing?"
"My personal car."
"I meant your RMP."
"Well, it saves me some money that can be used elsewhere."
"Like what?"
"Don't you two belong somewhere?"
"Not really. So where does the money go?" Sully walked by with the box of donuts.
"Hey, leave some for others."
"Marcus ate the last three."
"He's lying. I ate two."
"Then who ate the last one?"
"Bosco."
"I thought Nick helped himself to one."

"Nick, I slipped."
"Slipped into a DWI."
"It's nothing."
"That's what they all say until they get into an accident and are facing charges up to and including manslaughter, and McCoy..."
"McCoy would give me 30 days community service with two Imperial Fleets totaling 105 Star Destroyers out there."
"And any judge would throw you in Sing Sing with or without the Empire out there."
"It was one drink and the kids were out of control."
"Explain the failed breath test. One drink at a bar and three more at home. Why were the kids in the car to begin with?"
"I was taking them to Andros for the night."
"On the Drunk Circle Tour of Manhattan."
"You're not my father."
"You're right. I'm not, but Van Buren wants an explanation from you."
"She's not my mother."
"That could get you suspended."
"So, any judge would overturn it."
"You think you can get away with anything don't you?"
"Shut up."
"We're here." Nick got out and went over to BJ's side of the car. BJ got out and Nick placed handcuffs on him.
"Why the cuffs?"
"My safety, for whatever good it will do." They went inside passing Briscoe and Green who were shocked.
"Him in cuffs?"
"He's drunk."
"You AA types are all alike."

"BJ what are we going to do with you?" Van Buren asked while the 27's patrol supervisor stood by her desk.
"Let's take his badge."
"If you don't shut up, I'm going to put you in the cage."
"Put him on a beat with Franklin."
"Who got transferred and made you boss?"
"BJ, take the time. Jen's going to spend some time with you."
"Excuse me."
"She's got no place to stay. Her place is near Ground Zero. It's in the restricted area."
"Fine, that'll work for me."
"As for department action. You are officially..."
"You get on the stack of paperwork before I put it in your file that you enjoy pushing people around."

"Jen, come in."
"Thank you."
"Nick explained everything to me. You can stay on the sofa."
"This place is amazing. How do you afford it?"
"No comment." Jen looked at him.
"BJ, let me be the first to tell you. Bosco told the the Times about you."
"He what?"
"Called the New York Times and told them that he locked you up."
"He will be hearing from my lawyer."
"Calm down. He also said you have a short fuse at times."
"I do not have a short fuse."
"You're starting to rant."
"I am not."
"BJ, eat something."
"I'm not hungry."
"Where are you going now?"
"To give that SOB a piece of my mind."
