Nearly a month later Faith finally found a new apartment only a couple blocks away from Bosco's building so she could conveniently visit him every chance she got. Ever since her divorce became final their friendship renewed to a whole new level even better than what it was before the divorce. Bosco basically opened his door to Faith in every way she could think of to help her get through the finals of the divorce.
"Boz?" Faith called as she walked out of his kitchen with two cups of coffee in her hands. Faith took a seat beside him on the couch. "Are you sure you're ready to go back to work tomorrow?"
"I was assigned to light duty, it's not like I'm going to be chasing bad guys on foot pursuit through out the precinct house." Bosco told her.
Faith watched as Bosco took two prescription pain killers out of the bottle beside him and drink them down with his coffee. She looked at him worriedly. "It's been a month and your still taking those maybe that's a good enough reason to stay home a little longer." She tried to convince him.
Bosco took another sip of coffee. "Have to finish the prescription." He smiled hoping to convince Faith that he was alright and held up the empty bottle.
"Okay, as long as you believe that."
Faith met Bosco the next day at his apartment; waiting for him to get ready. "Come on Bosco we are going to be late."
Bosco walked out of his room carefully throwing duffel bag over his shoulder. "Won't be the first time." He whispered wincing a little.
"You okay?" Faith asked noticing how he looked a little pale. "You look like hell."
"Hell must be a good looking place then." He smiled as he walked up to her ignoring her first question.
Faith just rolled her eyes at his comment and followed him out the door. "You have got to lay off the pain killers cause its making you delusional." She said as she locked the door behind her.
Bosco pushed open the locker room door. "I'm just saying that if you keep driving my car like that you will end up walking to work everyday because I won't have a car for you to drive." He said walking past Davis and Sully to his locker with out acknowledging them.
"Bosco!, I drive just fine." Faith told him following him towards his locker also ignoring Sully and Davis.
Davis looked at the two of them as they continued their conversation while tying his shoe.
"Well it looks like the old Bosco and Faith are back." Sully said walking over to Davis. The two then walked up to the two of them and Davis put a hand on Bosco's shoulder.
"When I can drive again I'm going to teach you have to drive a stick properly." Bosco continued.
"Ahem…Hate to interrupt such a delightful conversation between the two of you but welcome back Bosco." Davis interrupted.
"Yeah welcome back Bosco." Sully added and then looked at Davis. "Well we will see you two in roll call."
"Go easy on her Bosco" Davis said while following Sully hearing him start up from where he left off a long the way.
Bosco stood in the back of the roll call room since there was only one seat left and he let Faith have it. Swersky's voice started to drown out as Bosco started to feel a bit of pain build up and sweat formed on his forehead. Bosco leaned his head back slightly against the wall as his breathing suddenly started to become short and shallow when he tried to control the pain. The haunting voice of his brother's plead for help would become clearer and closer when he closed his eyes. Bosco shot open his eyes at the feeling of the cop that was standing beside hit him on the arm to get his attention.
Looking around the room he realized everyone was staring at him and said the first thing that came to his mind. "What?"
"I was just welcoming you back but since you decided to pull one of your 'I'm going to sleep through roll call' routines it hardly seems necessary. Have a good tour everyone." Swersky finished and everyone got up to leave.
Faith stood up from her seat and caught Bosco's arm to make him face her. "Hey you okay?" She questioned worriedly wondering what just happened in roll call.
"Yeah." Bosco said trying his best to stay calm.
"Okay I'll see you later then." Faith said taking one last look at him before turning to leave.
"Be careful out there." Bosco said watching her leave. Bosco practically ran to the locker thankful that no one was in there he opened his locker and shakily took out the bottle of asprin he had in his locker since he didn't have the prescription anymore and doctors wouldn't renew it. After taking a couple he leaned against the sink and washed some water over his face and looked into the mirror letting out a shaky breath.
After a moment of getting him self together he left the locker room and made his way towards the front desk. Swersky looked up at him as he walked behind it. "What did you forget where the front desk was?"
"Sorry Boss, I had to go to the washroom." Bosco lied.
"Yeah yeah just get to work." Swersky said while walking away from the desk.
"Sure thing Boss."
Sasha pulled up to their call behind 55 Charlie and put the car in park. "So Bosco just couldn't resist getting back." She said while getting out of the car.
"Yeah I know. I still think he came back to soon even though he's behind a desk." Faith said pausing at the bumper of the car waiting for Sasha.
The two walked up to 55 Charlie to find Sully and Davis yelling at both of their perps trying to get them to cooperate.
"Hey what's the problem here?!" Sasha asked loudly over the uncooperative perp who was with Davis. Faith laughed out loud at her comment so she could hear it as she walked to Sully's uncooperative perp.
"Hey Sul, what's up?" Faith said with a big smile still hearing Sasha in the background trying to get the other guy to shut up.
"Well the two pin heads here decide they are going to solve their little fender bender by kicking each others asses in." Sully said starting to get annoyed with his guy he was trying to hold back. Faith just laughed again unable to hold it back when she watched him push the guy against wall again.
Sully shot her a glare of not impressed by how she thinks that this is funny. "Well I'm glad this is amusing to you, Faith but would mind but do me a favor and cuff him so I can throw him in a cell."
"Yeah sure Sully." She said trying to contain another fit of laughter and pulled out her cuffs easily snapping them on him.
Sully then marched him towards the RMPS. "Would you two take pin head number one here back to the house, so we can make it back alive with pin head number two."
Sasha and Faith took hold of the one they were taking and started off to their car. Faith laughed out again when she heard Sully scream for his guy to shut up when he started screaming at the guy they were taking back again as they walked by.
Faith and Sasha were the first to arrive at the house. Walking in they stopped at the desk both with a tight grip on their guy. Faith got up beside Bosco who was standing in front of the desk instead of behind it.
"Your suppose to stand on the other side of the desk Boz." Faith said in tone like he didn't know how to stand at a desk.
"Thank you for the lesson Faith. But Swersky's got me running around and I figured I'd save my self a few stairs. You know taking it easy." He smiled turning to face her.
"Yeah like you city cops don't take it easy enough." The perp spat at Bosco.
Bosco then turned to face him. "Who the hell are you?"
"Your worst enemy." He said.
"Yeah, I'll add you to my list and get back to you." Bosco told him remaining calm.
Faith noticed the expression change on the perps face go from tough to scared and tried her best not to laugh. Faith turned quickly when the doors to the precinct opened and a familiar screaming voice was heard. The guy Sully and Davis had must of gotten a second wind because the next she saw was the guy pull free out of Davis's grasp. He launched himself towards the perp that Faith and Sasha were still holding tightly to fast for them to react, causing their guy to fall backwards pinning Bosco roughly against the desk.
Sully and Davis immediately ran towards the brawl that had started along with many other officers who tried to pull the two apart. At first not registering the fact that Bosco was pinned behind the guy that was getting the shit kicked out him until he yelled out in pain from the pressure that was being held against him. The cops finally pulled the two apart and were taken away to different cells.
Davis looked down Bosco who was still on his knees. "You okay Bosco?" He asked.
Bosco looked up at him and through painful breathes he said. "Yeah, I'm okay." Bosco grabbed the top of the desk to help pull himself up from the floor. Davis grabbed Bosco from under his other arm to help him.
"I said I'm fine" Bosco said pulling away from his grasp and went up the stairs quickly to the locker room.
Faith came back down from putting her guy away. "Where did Bosco go? Is he okay?"
"I don't know he went up to the locker room." Davis said.
Faith walked into the locker room and found Bosco sitting in front of his locker with a water bottle one hand and was gripping the bench with other. With out saying anything at first she sat down beside him; looking at him as he continued to stare at the floor.
"You okay?" She asked.
Bosco nodded. "Yeah just got a little winded."
Faith looked at him as loosened his grip on the bench. "I'm sorry. I should of put him away as soon as I got here."
"Faith there was no way you could of known that would of happened." Bosco said as he stood up putting the asprin and water bottles away trying his best to keep it from Faith's view but Faith took a clear notice of it. "I better get back out there before Lieu bites my head off."
Faith got up off the bench after Bosco left the room keeping her eyes locked on the bottle of asprin and the water bottle. Faith looked at the closed door that Bosco walked out of just a second ago and then looked back at the two bottles worriedly studied them, 'Oh Bosco' she thought of what he might be doing.
"Boz?" Faith called as she walked out of his kitchen with two cups of coffee in her hands. Faith took a seat beside him on the couch. "Are you sure you're ready to go back to work tomorrow?"
