"Bosco, can you hear me? Are you okay?" Paramedic Kim Zambrano asked Bosco
as he lied on the ambulances stretcher. "Are you okay? Can you hear me?"
"YES! I was shot in the shoulder not in the head." Bosco scoffed. "I can sit up you know. It's not like I can't sit up or walk." Bosco paused.
"Just shut up and keep still." Carlos spat. "I don't want blood all over my bus."
"How's Monroe, is she okay?" Bosco asked.
"She's fine. They got the guy and she's headed back to the house to fill out some paperwork." Kim smiled. "Nice work out there Bosco, you nailed the guy in the nads."
"I did?" Bosco laughed. "Seriously?"
"Yeah. Monroe said when he shot you in the shoulder, you went down but fired before you hit the ground and that shot hit Mr. Happy." Kim couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Lucky shot." Bosco looked around the back of the bus, but couldn't focus on anything. "What the hell did you give me?"
"Just something for the pain. Too bad it doesn't keep the mouth zipped." Carlos shot again.
"What's your problem?" Bosco shouted.
"Nothing. Leave me alone." Carlos said returning his attention to the paperwork. He sat there quiet until they arrived at the hospital.
Thirty minutes later, Becca flew threw the emergency room doors and skidded to a stop at the ER desk. "I'm looking for Maurice Boscorelli. He was brought in here 20 minutes ago."
"Room three." The nurse said pointing to the room he was in.
Becca walked into the room where Bosco was only to see that he was asleep. "He's been out since he got here. The medics gave him pain killer for the pain. He can be discharged in an hour or so." The room attending nurse said as she put his vitals book back on the end of the bed.
Becca put her coat and purse on the chair across from the bed and walked to the bedside. She pulled back the blanket that was pulled up to his neck and looked at the large band aid covering the bullet wound. "I'm all for you taking my clothes off but not here. Not when there are tons of people around." Bosco smirked slowly opening his eyes.
"I thought you we're sleeping." Becca smiled.
"Nah, I was pretending. Good acting huh? They wouldn't stop poking and prodding me so I pretended I was sleeping. It worked." He smiled back.
Becca gave him a kiss. "How are you feeling?"
"Fine. I'll be on desk duty until it heals. That means I can spend more time with you." Bosco said taking Becca's hand. "I like that."
"Same here. The nurse said that you can be discharged in about an hour." Becca paused. "You know, I could be your nurse when I take you back to your place."
"I like that even more." Bosco said as his smirk got bigger. "Maybe hike up your skirt so it's a little shorter."
"Hey Bosco." Cruz said as she walked into the room. "Heard you shot someone in the happy place." Cruz turned her attention to Becca. "Hey."
"Hi." Becca said returning the pleasantry. She returned her attention to Bosco. "I'll be outside." She leaned down and placed a kiss on his forehead, gathering her stuff before walking out of the room.
"Is that your girlfriend?" Cruz asked.
"What's it to you? And why are you here."
"Can't a friend come to visit her old partner?" Cruz asked with attitude.
"You're not my friend and we only teamed up for a while. Why are you here and what do you really want?" Bosco asked, he could feel the anger start to pent up inside.
"The guy you shot this morning was being watched by us. Why did we're you after him?" Cruz asked sitting down on the chair she pulled to the bedside.
"Monroe and I we're on patrol when we spotted him snatching an old lady's purse. We pulled up behind him and he opened fire. No purse snatcher opens fire on cops. Why are you watching?" He questioned.
"He's apart of an ongoing investigation with a drug ring. He's the dealer, we want his supplier." Cruz said. "And I want you back in anti-crime."
"No, not after what happened with Faith. No way. I work better on the beat." Bosco snapped.
"Aw come on. You we're good working in anti-crime. Just for a week or so, until we catch the guy."
"Cruz, you know damn well that it can take more than a month to catch a supplier. No. I'm declining your offer. I'd rather be on desk duty until I get back out on the streets. Not again. I don't need you shooting me this time. Now if you don't mind, please leave."
"Alright. Fine." Cruz said giving Bosco a scorned look. Cruz walked out of the room and glared at Becca who was sitting in the chairs area with Faith. 'I know her from somewhere.' Cruz thought to herself. 'But from where.'
"I can't stand the woman." Faith scoffed.
"Who Cruz?" Becca asked. Faith nodded. "Maurice told me all about it. Someone needs to put her away."
"Ha, put Cruz away. That'll be the day. The damn bitch is sneaky. She has everyone in that precinct wrapped around her tiny bony little finger. Well except for me, Bosco and some of the others. If only she was the one shot and not I." Faith spat in anger still obviously angry from the shoot out that happened months before the present. "I'm gonna go see Bosco now. I'll talk to you later."
"Yeah. Let him know that I'll be in there in a few minutes." Becca smiled, Faith nodded once again. 'Once my current assignment is done, wait until Cruz sees who's going to be the new member of anti-crime.' Becca thought to herself. 'Then, will I only be able to keep my eye on Maurice. Bitch isn't gonna get in my way, or his.'
"YES! I was shot in the shoulder not in the head." Bosco scoffed. "I can sit up you know. It's not like I can't sit up or walk." Bosco paused.
"Just shut up and keep still." Carlos spat. "I don't want blood all over my bus."
