"We have to move in on him Dan. Nickolas came to school with bruises on him
again." Becca sighed talking to her boss on the phone.
"What was his excuse this time?" Dan asked.
"That he ran into the fence playing softball." Becca sighed again. "So, what are we going to do?"
"Set up a home visit, saying that you need to go over his work. He is struggling in math so talk about that. When he's gone, set up a hidden camera in something. Once we get the visual proof, we can nail him." Dan said.
"And in the mean time? The poor kid is being beaten Dan. I keep telling Nick that if there's anything that he needs to tell me that he can. He's not budging. He's too scared. I'm afraid that he's going to end up dead the next time." Becca said. She could hear keys in the door locks. "I gotta go. Maurice is back."
"You're still seeing him?" Dan questioned, still unimpressed.
"Yes Dan. You're not my father, I can date anyone I want you know. Talk to you later." Becca said cheerfully and hung up the phone.
"Bec, can't you grab a bag?" Bosco said as he tried to get through the door.
"Sure." Becca sprung from the couch and rushed over to the door. "What did you buy? The entire store?"
"I bought dinner." Bosco said as they walked into the small kitchen. "Well it's not cooked, but I'm going to cook you dinner."
"You can cook?" She asked peering into the bag, Bosco retaliating by pushing away her hand.
"Yeah I can cook. I'm Italian. It's in the blood." He smiled. "You do it all the time for me. I'm not just a take out guy. I really can cook. You'll see."
"Maurice Boscorelli, you surprise me every day." Becca smile putting her arms around his neck.
"What can I say? You surprise me every day." He smiled back. "Now you go watch TV, relax and I'll call you when it's done." Bosco grinned and slapped her bottom and laughed as she turned around with shock.
Cruz sat at her desk staring at the computer monitor in front of her. She knew Rebecca from somewhere, but couldn't quite remember where. She was definitely some one she knew. Not a relative, not a past friend. Maybe a past co-worker? A friend of a past co-worker? Cruz couldn't help but keep her eyes fixed on Becca's driver's license. Her face was very familiar.
"Hey, that's Rebecca Appleton from sex crimes over at 2-5. Why do you have her drivers pulled up?" Tony, one of Cruz's men in Anti Crime said as he stood behind Cruz.
"Sex crime?" Cruz asked as she spun around in her chair.
"Yeah. Don't you remember that bust we made a few years ago back that involved a sex shop which was fronting for drug distribution. We all worked together on that. I thought you'd remember it." Tony spoke.
"Yeah, right. Right." Cruz said with a sadistic smile on her face. "Thanks for refreshing my memory Tony. Completely forgot about that."
"Don't know about you boss, but I can't forget a girl with a pretty face and hot body." Tony said before working out.
"School teacher my ass." Cruz said quietly to herself. "So Rebecca, why are you hiding the fact that you're a cop from Bosco? Huh? Don't want him finding something out? A dirty little secret maybe? Maybe you're investigating him because of what happened with Faith. Wonder how Bosco will feel once he's found out the truth." Cruz paused. "He hates liars. Doesn't he Becca?"
"What was his excuse this time?" Dan asked.
"That he ran into the fence playing softball." Becca sighed again. "So, what are we going to do?"
