Faith and Bosco walked into the precinct the next day together again.
"Boscorelli!" The desk Sergeant called out when he saw the two of them going up the stairs.
"Yeah?" Bosco answered stopping on the stairs.
"Hold up for minute something came for you."
"I'll see you in the locker room than, Boz." Faith said while continuing to go up the stairs.
"Here it is." He said handing the envelope to Bosco.
Bosco took the envelope wondering who it was from. "Thanks." He started to opened the envelope on the walk back to the locker room.
Bosco took out the letter on the inside and read as he went to his locker sitting on the bench in front of it. Faith watched quietly from her locker as she finished changing noticing his expression change as he read the contents of the letter. She walked over to Bosco standing a few feet from him and was about to say something when he stood up suddenly and rushed out of them room. Faith turned around back to her locker quickly closing it and then rushing out to find him.
"Lieu! You know about this." Bosco said showing him the envelope.
Swersky looked up at him and shook his head. "Yeah his lawyer dropped it off earlier."
"This is a God damn joke!" Bosco screamed.
"Calm down Bosco." He started. "I'm sure it will blow over."
"Hey what's going on?" Faith said finally catching up with Bosco.
"My father's way of showing how much he loves me." Bosco said with sarcasm lifting the envelope once again this time in Faith's direction.
"What's that?" She asked looking at the envelope in his hand.
"My father is suing me, for wrongful accusation against him." Bosco said becoming frustrated.
Faith looked at him confused. "Accusations?"
"Well I apparently I accused him of having a part in Mikey's death and he is not happy about it. Pain and suffering my ass!" Bosco said now starting to pace around. "I should sue him for the pain and suffering of my whole life, I can blame him for all of that. He's the one who's never around, didn't even have the balls to show up at the hospital that night to see if any one was hurt or dead."
"Boz come on, calm down." Faith said walking up next to him brushing her hand along his arm.
"I don't even know why I bother any more." Bosco said quieter before leaving the room.
Faith watched as Bosco walked out of the office and back towards the locker room. "Lieu did you know anything about this before?"
"No, his lawyer dropped it off about an hour ago and that's the first I have heard of anything." He said getting up from his desk. "The hearing is tomorrow."
"That soon? That's a little odd don't you think?" Faith said before leaving.
"Officer Boscorelli, what a pleasure to meet you again." Lester called from a distance in the court building.
Bosco looked across the hall after hearing his name being called. "Son of bitch." He mumbled below his breath. Bosco looked at Faith. "Please tell me he's not representing my father."
"Yes I am" Lester answered before Faith could say anything. "Well I hope your well prepared. I'll see you in there." He said while smiling widely as he walked up Anthony.
Bosco looked at the two of them. "This just keeps better and better."
"Don't worry about it you'll be fine." Faith placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"Where the hell is my lawyer?" Bosco asked becoming more nervous.
"He'll be here."
Bosco looked around. "Uh… I'll be back in a minute."
Faith looked at him curiously. "Where you going?"
"Washroom." Bosco said when he turned to leave.
"Hey Faith."
Faith turned her attention from Bosco around to the voice behind her. "Hey guys, you made it."
"Yeah Swersky gave us some time." Davis said.
"Where's he going?" Sully said watching as Bosco walked down the lengthy hall.
"Washroom." Faith said. "Davis would you mind but go down there with him, just keep an eye on him."
"Why?" Davis said confused.
"I think something's wrong with him, but he won't tell me anything." Faith told them.
"What makes you think that?" Sully asked.
"I don't know maybe it's nothing." Faith said looking down the hall expecting Bosco to be walking back down it by now. "Here he comes."
"Hey" Bosco said walking up to the three. "We should get in there."
"Officer Boscorelli. How long have you been a police officer for New York." Lester started when approached Bosco.
"12 years."
"Would you consider yourself a well respected officer that does his job well?" Lester questioned with a smile standing in front of him.
Bosco looked Lester's questioning eyes. "I like to think so."
"Good, that's always good we need cops that can do their jobs properly." Lester said and then turned and pointed to Anthony. "My client here, is he your father?"
Bosco cleared his throat. "Unfortunately." Bosco looked at his father in disgust.
"Unfortunately?! That's a little harsh don't you think? Why don't you like your father." Lester said leaning up against the stand.
"Your honor I don't see how this has anything to do with the case." Bosco's lawyer said standing up.
Lester turned to the judge. "Your honor I'm making a point."
"Well make it faster." The judge said. "You don't have to answer that." He said to Bosco.
"Okay, so Officer Boscorelli basically you do not have a good relationship with your father." Lester said restating his question.
"No I don't." Bosco responded becoming nervous.
Faith, Sully and Davis sat in the back of the courtroom listening intently to the questions and answers.
"What the hell is this guy trying to get at?" Sully asked in a hoarse whisper leaning over to Faith.
"I don't know, but I'm not liking this already." Faith answered keeping her eyes on Bosco.
"Over the years how many drug dealers have you caught?" Lester asked.
"To many to count."
"So than your fairly good at knowing who a dealer is and who isn't?" Lester said happy with the way this is going and smiled towards Anthony.
"Yeah." Bosco simply replied.
"Okay, so how long had your brother been involved in drugs?"
"Too long." Bosco said starting to become annoyed with his on going questions..
Lester placed his hands on the ledge of the stand in front of Bosco so he was looking at him directly. "Long enough to be in it to deep?" He asked in a quieter voice. "Or long enough that it would be nearly impossible for him to back out?"
Bosco stared back at him. "That could have been possible."
Lester let a smile creep onto his face keeping his stance. "When did you learn that your brother was clean?"
"The day before I had learnt that he had been involved in dealing ecstasy." Bosco said still looking into eyes.
"Did you believe him?"
"No."
Lester pushed him self away from the stand and looked towards Faith, Sully and Davis. "Is it true that an anti crime sergeant came to you informing you that your brother was involved in dealing ecstasy?"
"Yes."
"Did you do anything about it?"
"No."
"Why not you said you didn't believe him. What made you change your mind?" Lester said turning his attention back to Bosco.
"I guess I wanted to believe him. I wanted to think that maybe I could actually have a real family!" Bosco said becoming upset. "I don't know why."
"But you believed that it was true too late didn't you. After officer Dade was gunned down that same day while your brother was in the car and then you turned to post blame on your father for not doing enough to protect him after he was killed!" Lester yelled back at him not giving Bosco a chance to reply.
"Your honor he is badgering my client!" Bosco's lawyer stood up to say.
Bosco looked around the court room at everyone who was talking now as the judge tried to take order in the room.
"We are going take a 20 minute recess!" The judge said and then stood up to leave the bench.
Bosco stood up and quickly exited the side of the room where no one was going through. Once Faith, Sully and Davis were out in the hall they kept an eye out for Bosco so they could catch up with him. Looking around Faith finally caught sight of him walking towards the other direction down the hall. Faith pushed her way through the crowd keeping an eye on Bosco, once she cleared the crowd she stood in the middle of hall knowing it would be useless to run after him because he was so far down the hall.
"Bosco!" She yelled hoping to get his attention but by the time she called his name he had already walked through the exit.
"Boscorelli!" The desk Sergeant called out when he saw the two of them going up the stairs.
"Yeah?" Bosco answered stopping on the stairs.
"Hold up for minute something came for you."
