Part 9:

1 Week later;

Robert Miller had spent the last few days outside the 55th precinct. He knew he was wanted and was extra careful. Everyday he stayed at another corner and dressed different.

He had seen Faith come and go with Bosco, but never saw her alone. He tried to follow them home but he was scared that Bosco would realise that he was following them and arrest him.

A few days ago he had found a junkie who would do everything to earn the money for his next shot. He paid him two hundred dollars to stay near him. He knew that every cop in this city knew his face, when anyone would see him anywhere near Faith that would be the end. He couldn't risk being caught in the act. But with Johnny he had someone who would do the hart work and he had only to plan everything. Johnny would take her and bring her to Roberts apartment. That would earn him another 300 Dollars. Now they just had to wait.

Faith walked out of the 55th to go grab something to eat. She suddenly had a graving for Chinese from that little place just around the corner. She and Bosco often ate there after their shift, it was a tradition since they left the academy.

"There she is! Go grab her, be fast and try not to be seen!", Robert ordered as he saw Faith walking out alone. The street was nearly deserted. This was the opportunity he was waiting for, he just hadn't thought it would come this soon.

She only was walking for a few seconds when she felt someone behind her. Looking behind her she couldn't seen anyone and shrugged it of as her imagination. The next thing she knew was that someone shoved her from behind and she stumbled.

Before she could fall to the floor someone caught her in his arms. Momentarily disoriented she let her hands travel over the broad chest she found there. Looking up she came face to face with Jimmy Doherty!

"He, careful there Faith! Are you alright?", he asked after he stood her back on her feet.

"Yeah, thank you! Someone shoved me from behind..."

"I saw that, but he ran away. I can't tell who he was", he said after looking around.

"Don't worry! Surely it was just someone who got scared as he realised he ran into a cop!", she answered.

"You're probably right. You sure you are alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for catching me," she said while tucking her shirt back down.

"Always a pleasure to have a beautiful woman in my arms," he said and winked at her.

"Why don't I go with you wherever you are going.. You look a little pale..."

She nodded. "Thank you! I'm just going to grab a bite to eat." She really felt a little dizzy all of sutten.

"So, where his this loud mouth of partner of yours?", he asked, making conversation.

"Oh, I'm working the desk for a while...", she answered, being careful not to tell him more.

She and Bosco didn't want to tell more people about her pregnancy, everyone who knew already promised not to say anything.

Robert Miller swore as he saw Johnny running away. Moron, he never should have paid that Junkie for helping him. He pondered if he should try and kidnap herself but then there was this fire-fighter, catching her in his arm.

The woman was lucky, this time. His plan would have worked if not for the fire-fighter. But it proved to him what he knew all along, she fell or every man and cheated on the ones who loved her.

He wondered if he should try to find another man to help him. Johnny was too scared to do what he was paid for. But Johnny wouldn't make a mistake again, that he would make sure of.

He started his car and drove home. He needed time to formulate another plan..... This time somewhere with less people around who could save Faith Yokas.

11 p.m.

Bosco came by the front desk after his shift.

"Hi, Faith! How was you're day?"

"All right, I guess. I was a little bored and I felt dizzy this evening while I was going to get something to eat."

"Are you really okay?", Bosco was worried.

"Don't worry, nothing happened. Someone shoved me and I felt dizzy. Jimmy was there and caught me..."

"Jimmy Doherty? I'm not sure I like the thought of Jimmy having his hands on you ...."

Faith smiled at that, she liked that Bosco was jealous. She bend to his ear to whisper to him.

"Don't worry! Jimmy wasn't the one to knock me up.. And he isn't the one who lives with me.", she winked and went passed him to the locker room.

"And how was your day?"

"Slow, but then we were called to a crime scene. A Junkie named Johnny... I don't remember his last name. He was found dead in an alley, multiple knife wounds in his chest... And his genitals were cut off," Bosco cringed at the thought. "Really bloody and violent.... I hope we don't have a serial killer at hand. The only thing I would like to know where he got 200 Dollars, he must have been killed before he had a chance to buy heroin.
