A/N: If this story in anyway reflects the Season premiere or Season 6 anyway its pure concidence. I don't know anything more then anyone else knows about the new season.
Bosco quietly walked across his apartment with a cup of coffee in his hand careful not wake a sleeping Faith to sit on his couch where he either sat or laid wide awake all night. Placing the coffee mug on the table he picked up one of the pamphlets that he used to plan Mikey's funeral, reading the cover: "Boncotti Brother's Funeral Home"
"Guess I won't be going back there." Bosco mumbled to himself and threw the pamphlet back.
"No probably not." Faith said looking down at the pamphlet. Bosco jumped slightly not noticing Faith had walked into the room.
"Sorry. Did I wake you?"
"No." Faith said taking a seat next to Bosco. "It's only 6 o'clock, what are you doing up?"
Taking a sip of coffee he replied. "Couldn't sleep."
"Yeah, I see that." Faith said. "You should of taken the bed, I would have been fine out here."
Bosco shook his head. "I would of just been sitting up in bed all night then." Leaning back on the couch. "There's coffee in the kitchen if you want some."
Faith studied Bosco's tired face for a moment. "You should go lay down for a bit, I'm awake now anyways." Faith watched Bosco nod in agreement and pull himself off the couch to go to his room.
Two hours later Bosco woke up to the sound of his phone ringing and blindly searched for it on the night stand beside him.
"Hello." Bosco said tiredly in the phone.
"Good morning Bosco." Swersky said. "Is Faith with you still."
"Uh…yeah just a minute." Bosco said and put phone down on the bed beside him. "Faith!" He yelled from his bed.
Faith came to the doorframe of the room. "Yeah?"
"Here, its Swersky. He wants to talk to you." Bosco said holding out the phone for her.
Faith took the phone from him and walked back out of the room. "Hey Lieu."
"Hi Faith, how's everything going."
"Well nothing has been blown up or shot at since we got here so that could be a good sign." Faith said in a half sarcastic tone.
"Are you coming in today?"
"Maybe. Bosco will probably want to, so he can see what he can do about this." Faith said a little quieter.
"Do you think he should?"
"I don't know. He didn't sleep last night and I'm sure he's awake right now." Faith said looking towards his room. "He's going to get himself hurt out there."
"Well I just won't let him on the street if he does come in." Swersky said. "I'll see you later."
"Yeah. Bye." Faith hung up the phone, put it down on the table and looked up to see Bosco leaning against the doorframe to his room.
"What did he want?"
"He wanted to know if we were going in today." Faith said looking up at Bosco.
"Well I don't know about you but I definitely am." Bosco said standing up straight. "I'm going to grab a shower so I can get out of here."
Faith chewed on her bottom lip trying to think of what she could say to make him slow down. Faith walked up to Bosco before got in the washroom. "Boz, I think you should slow. Take off a couple days, you have enough problems to deal with right now than added burden of going into work."
"Slow down? Faith this guy is getting further away for every second we waste standing here talking about it. I'm going to help on this."
The two cops walked through the double doors of the precinct house and was greeted by the Lieutenant at the front desk. Bosco noticed the stares and looks he got from fellow officers and did his best to ignore them as if nothing has happened and immediately went up the stairs to the Anti-Crime unit. With Faith not far behind; Bosco called out for Cruz when he saw her wandering around in one of the offices.
"Hey. What are doing here?" She surprised to see Bosco at all.
"I want to help." Bosco said up front.
Cruz looked at him and then at Faith while walking by them to filing cabinet. "Well this is on Anti-Crime…" she started.
"And I've worked up here before." Bosco said pointing to himself.
Cruz paused for a minute to look over some papers. "What does Swersky think?"
"I haven't spoken to him yet."
"Well if you can get his approval then yeah I'll let you work up here." Cruz said looking at Bosco.
"My approval for what?" Swersky asked behind Bosco.
Bosco turned to face him. "Boss I need to work up here on this."
Swersky glared at Bosco. "No way, its too risky."
"Ah, come on Lieu." Bosco said chasing after him down the hall. "you know it just as well as I do that Donald Mann is after me."
"Exactly why I don't want you on this Bosco!" Swersky said in a stern voice.
Bosco looked him in the eyes. "So what am I suppose to do. Go home wait for a knock at my door so I can get pistol in my face."
Swersky just looked at Bosco in silence and then looked past him to Faith and Cruz who were standing in the hall.
"Swersky, he's got a point actually." Cruz spoke up at his defense. "I mean Mann is going to go after him no matter where he is. He's at least a little bit safer on the job."
Bosco nodded in agreement at Cruz's statement. Swersky hesitated at his response. "Alright." Swersky pointed at Bosco. "Be careful!"
"Always"
"Go get your gear." Cruz said and Bosco immediately went down towards the locker room. Before stepping back into the office she was caught by Faith eyes in front of her.
"Your not working up here. You don't have enough experience in Anti Crime." Cruz said looking at Faith and then made her way back into the room.
"That's not what I'm after." Faith said looking at her side ways.
"Then what?"
"Oh gee I don't know I was kind of hoping you would back Swersky on not allowing him to work. You know, think of his safety." Faith said in an annoyed anger tone.
Cruz looked up from what she was doing for a moment. "I've told you this before, I'm not his mother. He's a big boy he can make his own decisions."
Faith just looked her with disbelief and walked away mumbling to herself. "Yeah and I remember the outcome of that too."
Faith sat in her usual chair during roll call not really paying attention to what Lieu was saying because she had her eyes locked Bosco who was standing across the hall talking with Cruz and a couple of other Anti Crime cops going over there plans for the day.
"Yokas your with Monroe today. That's it. Eyes and ears open out there."
The rustling sounds of people leaving the room died down and Sully, Davis, Monroe and Faith were the only people left in it.
"So the team paired back up, huh" Sasha said. "I still can't believe Swersky let Bosco come back so soon."
Faith continued her stare at Bosco then looked away. "Yeah me either."
Walking out of the roll call room Faith looked at Bosco again when he was exiting the room he was in. Bosco caught her look and he knew what she was thinking immediately but was interrupted by Davis's voice.
"Hey man".
"Hey." Bosco said.
"Bosco!, lets go." Cruz called from the bottom of the stairs.
"See ya"
"Be careful Boz" Faith called after him.
Bosco nodded and smiled weakly at her before leaving to follow Cruz outside.
Cruz and Bosco pulled up at their location outside a warehouse on 96th street where they were told Monkey face Ecstasy dealers may be running the place. Cruz radioed her other two teams to hold their positions until told other wise.
Cruz looked at Bosco for a second. "You ready?"
Bosco got ready to get out of the car. "Yeah."
The two ran up to the side of the building and stood on either sides of the door. Bosco leaned heavily against the wall of the building taking deep breathes feeling a tinge of panic building up 'not now' he thought to himself. Bosco listened to Cruz called into her radio for the other units to move in on their positions.
"Bosco!" Cruz looked at Bosco who appeared to not be paying attention. "Bosco, you with me. Hey!"
Bosco finally turned his attention to her. "What?"
"Stay with me!" Cruz yelled back at him. "Lets go" Cruz said in her radio and kicked in the door. Bosco followed her in close behind.
There were only 5 people in the building 4 of which were lying flat on the floor. Bosco noticed a fifth person making his way towards to the door.
"Hey! Stop!" Bosco yelled running after him. Bosco pulled out his radio running out the door after him. "55 crime I'm on foot pursuit chasing a dealer, white male in a black t-shirt, and blue jeans."
Bosco paused to catch his breath and looked around the alley he went up. "Suspect went down an alley on 98th."
"55 David to central we are approaching 98th we do not have a visual on that suspect" Faith said into her. "Where is 55 crimes location."
'Last location noted was in the alley on 98th'
Faith sped up the RMP towards the alley and quickly turned down and slowed the car down when she spotted Bosco. Faith got out of the RMP.
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know. I lost him." Bosco said while looking around in possible places that he could be hiding. "Damn it!" He yelled into the air.
Faith looked at Bosco with concern "We'll find him" she said reassuringly.
"Come on Bosco we'll give you a ride you a back" Sasha suggested.
"No I'll walk its not that far"
Faith walked into the locker room stopping at the side of Bosco's locker.
"What are you up to tonight?" She asked hoping it involved him with going home to get some rest.
"Making arrangements for funerals" Bosco said throwing his vest in his locker.
"You want some help?"
Bosco looked up at Faith. "Fred still out of town?"
"Yeah" Faith lied again hating how she kept lying about this to him but knew this wasn't the best time to bring it up.
"Suit yourself. Its kind of depressing though" Bosco said closing his locker.
"I think I'll survive"
"I'll meet you outside" Bosco said while walking out the door and Faith kept her eyes glued on him even after the door swung closed.
Bosco quietly walked across his apartment with a cup of coffee in his hand careful not wake a sleeping Faith to sit on his couch where he either sat or laid wide awake all night.
