Bosco grabbed his duffel bag from the passenger seat of his car parked outside the 55th Precinct house. Slowly walking to the front doors he ignored the looks he got from officers, only looking up if one of them called his name.
Bosco pushed open the door to the locker room at the same time that Faith had pulled open.
"Hey what are doing here. Swersky gave you a couple days off." Faith said following him back into the locker room.
"I told him I didn't need it off." Bosco said opening his locker. "I plan on working anti crime again."
Faith took a seat on the bench next to him. "Bosco. You just buried your family yesterday, you need to take time off."
Pulling his badge around his neck, Bosco stopped for moment before getting up and looked at Faith. "I'm okay Faith."
Faith looked into his eyes and could clearly see the exhaustion but decided not to push it. After a minute of their sharing a look Bosco stood up and left the room leaving Faith to ponder in her thoughts.
Sasha glanced over at Faith who was sitting quietly keeping her eyes glued in front of her.
"You're quiet today." Sasha started.
"Sorry." Faith said glancing over at Sasha. "I just have a lot on my mind."
Sasha kept her eyes on Faith . "About Bosco?"
"The most part." Faith said. "I have to tell him something important but I just can't seemed to bring it up whenever I'm with him."
"How is he doing anyways?"
"He says he's okay."
"You don't believe him?"
Faith turned to face her. "I don't need to believe him, I know him."
Bosco stood his position on the south of the building that they were ready to raid. Gripping his gun he nervously shifted back and forth on his feet as he waited listening for Cruz's call. His eyes were kept focused on the door that he would enter, the waiting was causing the tension to build.
Bosco flexed his jaw muscles and than Cruz's okay was heard. Kicking in the door he rushed in and held down a suspect with weapon.
"Get down… face down on the floor , now!" Bosco yelled and when the suspect did so holstered his weapon and cuffed him.
A fairly large man suddenly appeared in the back the room with an automatic weapon behind Bosco. Going unnoticed to Bosco, who continued patting down his suspect who was in custody. Cruz looked up from what she was doing in time to see the gunmen appear just before he started shooting and yelled "Bosco!"
A hail of bullets was soon flying through the air and everyone took cover as best as they could behind table and desks.
"55 crime, 10:13!…10:13."Cruz yelled frantically into her radio. "Shot's fired, I repeat shots fired. We need assistance at this location immediately!"
'55 crime'….. '10:13'…'shots fired' those word rang through Faith ears as the RMP swerved in and out of traffic with their sirens blaring and lights flashing.
"Come on get out of the way!" Faith yelled from the car when the traffic slowed causing them to reduce their speed.
"We'll get there…just hold on…we'll get there." Sasha chanted quietly.
Bosco watched as the gunmen got closer to the door from his position listening intently to the bullets that and some missing him by mere inches. As soon as he got out the door the bullets stopped and Bosco quickly picked himself up off the floor not even looking back to see if anyone got hit and on pure adrenaline he ran out the door looking down by the bottom of the door was the weapon he used. Bosco look up and down the road and could see the man not far away running. Bosco than took off running after the guy.
"You guys okay?" Cruz questioned worriedly at her officers who were standing up recovering from the event. Cruz looked around the crowd and realized that someone was missing. "Bosco" she whispered at first. "Bosco!" She said moving more quickly to where he was.
Outside the building 55 David and Charlie came to a screeching halt beside the building along with other cars. Faith and Sasha quickly made their way up to inside of the building with their guns drawn. Once inside and saw there was no more danger, Faith noticed Cruz and a group of other officers. Becoming panicked when she didn't see Bosco she quickly jogged up to them and became even more panicked when she heard Cruz calling for Bosco in her radio.
"Where is he? Where's Bosco" Faith frantically asked Cruz.
"I don't know."
"What the hell do you mean you don't know."
"I don't know he's…." Cruz started.
"How can you not…" Faith started back.
"I don't know he's just gone!" Cruz finally finished. "He's not answering his radio."
"Uh…Sarge? This could be why?" One of the officer's said picking up his radio.
"Great. Just great." Cruz said taking the radio. She then looked at the opened door. "Come on he must of went out this way."
About 20 different cops went in different directions but Cruz, Faith, Sasha, Sully and Davis didn't have to go far because as soon as they rounded the corner they spotted Bosco not far down the street walking towards them.
"Bosco!" Cruz yelled starting to run up to him, with the others not far behind.
"I lost…" Was all Bosco could get out before Cruz slammed him up against the building held him there.
"You lost your mind that's what you lost."
Bosco pushed her back off of him "What the hell are you doing!" He screamed back at Cruz moving towards and looked like he was going to hit her.
Davis grabbed Bosco and held him back "Bosco calm down man."
"More like what the hell are doing" Cruz said pushing Bosco back again even though Davis was holding on him.
"Cruz!" Sully yelled and grabbed her.
"I went after the guy!"
"I don't care. Your not putting my ass in the hanger over stunts like that." Cruz yelled. Other cops including Lieutenant Swersky has now came up behind her. "I'm pulling you off Anti-Crime for this Bosco."
"Let go of me" Bosco said weakly while pulling himself out of Davis's grasp.
"Go get yourself in the back of that RMP Bosco" Swersky said calmly pointing to his car.
Bosco just pushed his way through the crowd of cops as they watched him make his way to the RMP and opened the door to sit in it. Faith watched as he slammed the door closed and sit there like he just got sent to his room grounded.
"What the hell happened?" Swersky asked Cruz.
"The building we were raiding got ambushed and when he stopped shooting and left the building I got up to make sure everyone was alright. Then I noticed that Bosco wasn't with us I went to where he was to see if he was okay and he was gone. Bosco left the building, I tried radioing him and someone then found his radio in the room so we took off looking for him." Cruz explained
Swersky looked at her for a moment. "Alright I'll take him in to the house. Everyone else get back to their jobs!"
Faith stood where she was and watched as Swersky drove away with Bosco in the backseat.
"Faith?" Sasha said.
Faith turned to her "Yeah"
"Come on. We have a call waiting for us."
At the end of the shift Faith and Sasha walked into the precinct, 'I'll be right up Sasha to help with the reports." Faith said.
"Okay."
Faith walked up to the front desk. "Hey Lieu?"
"What can I do for you Faith?" He asked.
"Is Bosco still here?"
"Nope I sent him home hours ago." Swersky said while continuing his work.
Faith just nodded silently and started to walk up the stairs. "Officer Yokas?" Swersky started.
Faith stopped on the stairs "Yes sir."
"If you see him, let him know if wants to come in tomorrow he can."
A smile broadened across Faith's face. "Thanks"
"Monroe took vacation time, so you can work together tomorrow."
Faith knocked on Bosco's door 3 times before he opened it, "If you're here to yell at me I don't wanna hear it" Bosco said when he opened the door.
Faith looked at him and smiled. "Can I come in?"
Bosco stepped out of the way and Faith took that as an invitation. "So did Swersky come down on you hard."
"No" Bosco said closing the door and locking it. "just told me to go home."
"Well if it makes you feel any better he said you could come in tomorrow. Sasha took some vacation time." Faith said with a smile hoping to lighten the situation.
"Really?" Bosco said surprised.
"Yeah" Faith said and then looking towards his living are. "Boz can we talk for a bit. I need to tell you something."
"Sure."
Faith and Bosco sat on the couch and Bosco waited for her to start. "Bosco, Fred left." She said deciding that there was no easier way of saying it.
"What do you mean he left?"
"He left me. He took the kids and left."
Bosco looked at her in disbelief. "What he can't do that. When did he go?"
"The night after you found out your brother killed." Faith said waiting for a not so good reaction that she didn't tell him sooner.
Bosco shook his head. "I'm sorry"
Faith looked at him surprised at his response "Thanks, but everything is settled out now though. I just needed to tell you."
Bosco nodded. "Thanks for letting me know." Bosco looked at her for a minute and an awkward silence kicked in. "Well if you need anything you can come here, to me."
Faith smiled at him happy and thankful that she finally told him. "You can do the same if you need anything. I know what I said about us staying out each others personal lives before but I would really like for us to be friends like we use to."
"We can do that."
Bosco pushed open the door to the locker room at the same time that Faith had pulled open.
"Hey what are doing here. Swersky gave you a couple days off." Faith said following him back into the locker room.
