"Boscorelli." Swersky said as he walked into the Anti-Crime office.
"Yeah?" Two voiced called back. He looked up; both Becca and Maurice were in the room.
"What's he doing there?" Swersky asked Rebecca.
"He's being punished for accosting the typewriter in booking." Rebecca said with a laugh. "I caught him before he threw the thing on the floor."
"I swear that thing has it out for me." Bosco said using the typewriter there. "What do ya need boss."
"I don't need you, I need Rebecca." Swersky said. "I just got a call from your old precinct. Manuel Costas was just found murdered in our area. They're asking for you to assist."
Becca drew a blank look upon her face. "Who's he?" Maurice asked. Becca was quiet. "Bec?"
"Boss can Maurice come along with me?" She asked.
"Sure." Swersky replied.
"Have you called Cruz yet?" Rebecca asked.
"No, do you want me to?" Swersky asked.
"No, I'll do it from the car." A somber mood filled the air.
"So are you going to tell me who this guy is?" Maurice asked as they got into the anti-crime car.
"When Cruz and I worked at the two-five in anti-crime he was our partner." Rebecca paused. "Damn it!" She screamed striking the wheel with her hand. "I knew this was going to happen. Son of a bitch."
"What? What do you mean?" Bosco asked completely clueless.
"I can't tell you right now, not until I see Cruz." She said.
"What? You can't even tell me. Your own husband. What the hell is going on? You have to wait to get permission from Cruz? I can't believe this." He spat. "Since when did you too become buddy buddy?"
"It's complicated, you won't understand." She replied
"If course I don't understand. One minute you and Cruz are at each other's necks waiting to duke it out and next you have to call her and get permission to tell me what the hell is going on." Bosco spat yet again. "I seriously can't believe this."
"I'm not asking for permission." Rebecca shouted as she slammed on the breaks and put the car into park. "Wait here." She commanded as she got out of the car and ran towards the scenes first officer. Memories of her past came flooding back when she saw her other partner standing only feet from her.
"Holy crap." The tall man said. "Rebecca, is that you?"
"Yeah Jay, it is. Are you sure it's him, I mean maybe it's just someone that looks like him." She asked frantically.
"Rebecca, it's him." Jay lifted the sheet and revealed the awful truth. It was indeed Manuel.
"Shit." Rebecca shouted.
"Who's that; in the car?" Jay asked pointing to Bosco.
"My husband. He's a cop in my new precinct." She said.
"Wow. So the unattainable Rebecca Robinson finally snags a man. I knew it was going to be a cop. You just can't get away from it." He said with a laugh. "Why is he here? It has nothing to do with him."
"He's going to help. Cruz is on her way." She said. "I have no one else in anti-crime right now."
"Oh for crying out loud. You called her in? I cannot believe you." Jay shouted.
"Hey, Jay. I had to. We are all in this together, don't you forget that. If anyone finds out what happened in the past, we're all in trouble." She said turning around to see Cruz speeding then coming to a screeching halt.
"Okay. What the hell is so important that you had to call me, of all people, to come and assist you?" Cruz said screaming as she charged towards Rebecca.
"Crap." Maurice said as he watched from in the car. "She's going to kill her." He opened the car door and flew out.
"Oh hell no. You've got to be kidding me!" Cruz shouted as she saw who was standing next to Rebecca. "You. I thought I washed my hands of you when I left."
"Nice to see you too Maritza." Jay replied back. "I told you that you would never rid of me. I'm like the common cold, I'm always around."
"What is this some two-five pow-wow or something?" Cruz asked. She turned around to see Bosco walking up. "Oh great. What Rebecca, can't leave home without him?" She paused. "Bosco you have nothing to do with this so leave."
"I don't think so. Boss put me with her; there was no one else in anti-crime. So shut up or put up." Bosco snapped back at Cruz.
"So why am I here? Please, some one enlighten me before I get really nasty." Cruz asked.
"You already are." Bosco retorted.
"Hey. You keep your mouth quiet or I'll cuff you." Cruz shouted back.
"Cuff me? Hey, I'm here assisting." Bosco shouted. "You be quiet or I'll have you written up for subordination."
"HEY!" Rebecca shouted. "Cut it out the two of you." Rebecca paused. "You need to look under the sheet." She said as she pointed towards it.
"Why? I'm in the middle of another case." Cruz whined.
"Just do it! You need to see who is under there." Rebecca shouted.
Cruz peered at Rebecca as she walked over to the sheet. She kneeled down and slowly pulled the sheet back. "Oh..my..God." Cruz said slowly. "Manuel."
"Now. How important was your other case?" Rebecca snarled.
"Okay." Bosco shouted. "What the hell is going on?"
"We can't tell you, you're not involved with us." Cruz snapped back.
"He is now." Rebecca said. "We might as well tell him. He could probably help because he's on the outside unlike us."
"Unlike what?" Bosco said. "Can someone please fill me in, I'm kinda confused here."
"Back when we all worked at the two-five in anti-crime Manuel worked not only anti-crime, but Narco. He got a phone call from a CI, one that he didn't know saying that there were five cops who were all buying, and were not apart of an undercover sting op." Rebecca paused. "Manuel thought it was just a joke, but two weeks later he got the proof he needed- photographs of all five offers buying from a dealer, one at a time. He later learned that these five cops were all dirty." She paused.
"That's not all of it." Cruz said with a sigh. "Manuel told us all about what happened. We all knew it was a matter of time before it all came back to us that these cops were going to come after us. One of them did, tried to bribe us with money but we refused. Manuel thought he was smart and took it. Two weeks later all the crap that started with Rebecca's brother happened and we were all bounced. Rebecca decided to stay, but move to a different department."
"We need to find that safety deposit box." Rebecca said. "Jay, do you have any idea where it may be?"
"No. Manuel was smart about that. Do you think your brother does?" He asked.
"I don't think so." Rebecca said.
"We're going to have to get him up here even if he fights you on it. Rebecca, as much as I hate saying it, we need your brother up here." Jay said, Cruz rolled her eyes.
"What safety deposit box?" Maurice asked.
"It has the names of his killers in it." Rebecca paused. "This was an inside job."
