Watching the exit door swing close Faith started to make her way down the hall in order to catch up with Bosco.
"Hey Faith!" Davis called stopping her in her tracks.
Faith waited for him to catch up along with Sully. "Did you see where he went?" He asked.
"Yeah he went out that way." Faith said pointing towards the exit.
Faith opened the door and found Bosco sitting on the curb by the side of the building. The three stood by the exit not wanting to believe what they were seeing. Faith finally took seat next to him on the curb while Davis and Sully stood back a little.
"I heard those are bad for you." Faith started directing her comment to the cigarette he was smoking.
Bosco just shrugged at her comment.
"When did you start that habit, I've never seen you smoke before." She asked trying not to sound like she was pestering him.
Bosco stepped on the butt of it and looked straight ahead. "Does it matter?" He asked in a calm voice.
"No, I guess it doesn't."
Bosco pulled up his sleeve to look at his watch. "I have to get back."
Faith watched as he pushed himself up off the curb walking around Sully and Davis to get to the door he came out of.
"He smokes now?" Sully said in gruff voice. Faith just lightly shrugged not bothering to comment anymore on the issue.
Back in the courtroom Faith, Sully and Davis took their seats along with everyone else who was piling in the room. The judge took his seat behind the bench and started the hearing back up.
"Let's try to keep order this time in this room." The judge said before addressing Lester to finish from where he left off.
"Officer Boscorelli, did you at anytime try to find your brother after you were informed by Sgt. Cruz that he was dealing a brand of ecstasy?" Lester asked approaching the stand.
"I went to my father's apartment which was where Mikey was staying at the time."
"Was he there?" Lester asked
"No he was not."
"Did your father inform you at the door or at anytime while you were there that your brother was not home at the time."
"Yes."
"My client here told me that you "invited" yourself in to search through your brothers belongings against his permission to do so. Now, here you are a New York city police officer who has just been informed about a drug dealer, so you go to his place to look for him. You're informed by the owner of the apartment that he is not home but you presume that there are drugs in the apartment. Do you A) barge into the apartment anyways or B) call it in and get a search warrant."
Bosco clinched his jaw together, grinning and shaking his head realizing what he just said.
"Answer the question." The judge said
Bosco sat back in the chair knowing that he screwed up and wasn't going to win this. " You call it in and get a search warrant."
Lester got up closer to stand. "And did you?"
"No"
"Your honor Officer Boscorelli illegally searched my client's apartment and I would like to motion this case to go to trial."
"Motion granted, you will be informed of a trial date and time. Dismissed." The judge informed everyone and stood to leave.
The four cops walked down the stairs in front of the courthouse building towards where they parked their vehicles.
"Officer Boscorelli!" Lester called from the side walk at the bottom of the stairs. "I wanted to thank you for yet again making my job so easy."
Bosco stopped on the sidewalk in front of Lester and was about to say something to him when his father appeared from behind him.
"Hello Maurice." Anthony said.
Bosco just stared at him for a moment while Faith, Sully and Davis watched from behind Bosco. Bosco stepped up closer so he was right in Anthony's face.
"Bosco." Faith walked up beside him placing a hand on his chest and guided him back away from him. "Just leave it alone."
"You go to hell." Bosco told him in low whisper pointing at him.
Davis grabbed hold of one his arms to pull him away. "Bosco come on. Let's get out of here."
Bosco turned around and walked away without Sully, Davis or Faith.
"I hope your proud of yourself." Faith said to the two of them while watching Bosco walk down the street. Faith, Sully and Davis then walked away from to catch up with Bosco.
"Alright that's everything, have a good tour everyone." Swersky said finishing up roll call. "Boscorelli stay behind for a minute."
Bosco just looked up from his seat and remained where he was without saying anything. Swersky came up and sat on the edge of the desk in front of Bosco facing him.
"Look Bosco, I have to pull you off duty for awhile." Swersky started.
"Why?"
"It's just until this trial blows over. I wasn't given much of a choice, I'm sorry." He stated. "I'm going to need your badge and your gun."
Bosco stood up without questioning him and pulled out his badge and handed over his weapon, then headed towards the door quietly. Swersky watched with sad eyes as he made his towards the door of the room.
"Bosco." Swersky said standing up, Bosco turned to face him. "You going to be alright, want me to get someone to drive you home."
"No. I'm fine." He said quietly
Bosco stepped outside the precinct and started to walk in the direction of his apartment, but stopped and thought to himself 'why not, its not like things could get worse.' and then turned around and went to his car that Faith drove the two of them to work in. Deciding that he didn't want to go home right away he made his way towards his mothers home to check on it since it was empty and for sale. Bosco parked out front of the house and opened the door to it listening to how loud the door creaked inside the bare house. Bosco stepped in and took a look around the emptiness and the silence of the house brought threatening tears. Stepping into the living area of the house he leaned against the wall and looked the spot where he stood with his mom when he had to tell her that Mikey gone. Leaning his back against the wall he could feel his warm tears beginning to stream down his face as he let himself slide down the wall until he was sitting on the floor of the living area.
Faith jumped out of a taxi in front of Bosco's apartment building after her shift was over that night and looked up and down the street for Bosco's car. When she didn't see it out front she figured he must of parked it in the back lot. Faith made her way up the stairs to his apartment, thinking of the different ways she could yell at him for taking the car on her and for driving in the first place. Opening the door to the apartment she noticed it was dark and quiet inside expect for one small light from the bedroom.
"Bosco." She called out in a normal tone as she walked down the hall and turned into the bedroom. Seeing that he wasn't in the room she turned quickly and flipped the light on to the living room and saw he wasn't there either. Quickening her pace towards the kitchen she flipped on the switch to the light, grabbing the phone and dialed Bosco's cell phone number. "Come on, come on. Pick up."
"Hey Faith!" Davis called stopping her in her tracks.
Faith waited for him to catch up along with Sully. "Did you see where he went?" He asked.
"Yeah he went out that way." Faith said pointing towards the exit.
Faith opened the door and found Bosco sitting on the curb by the side of the building. The three stood by the exit not wanting to believe what they were seeing. Faith finally took seat next to him on the curb while Davis and Sully stood back a little.
