"She's doing it because she loves you Bosco!" Kim hissed at him. "She
cares about you. You're her partner, her friend, and in case you've
forgotten, she's also Johnny's godmother. She's looking out for him by
looking out for you."
"She didn't have the right Kim. She went to Lieu instead of just talking to me."
"She tried talking to you. I've tried talking to you. You just won't talk back."
"Kim-"
"No, you're not gonna do this. You're not gonna pretend everything's fine when it's not. Maurice, I love you. I married you for better or worse. Well, we've have them both but it seems like the only time you're willing to join in the worse is when it's about me. You wouldn't let me push you away when Bobby died. Why is it so easy for you to push me away now? Is it because you have something to prove to someone? Why can't you lean on me? Or if you can't lean on me, at least talk to Faith. She's always there when you need her."
"I have to hold it together."
"You don't have to do it alone," Kim said. She put a hand to the side of his face. "Please, let me help you."
"We gotta go in."
"We can be late."
"Christopher will have my ass."
"Screw him," Kim said firmly.
"I'll talk to you later," Bosco got out of the car.
"Baby." her voice trailed off as the car door slammed behind him.

"Oh God," Kim breathed as she looked around her at the sight of the shoot out. "Doc?"
"Over there," he pointed at some shot-up gang members.
"C'mon," Alex said.
Kim helped Alex but she also looked around. Then she saw him. Bosco was standing near Doc and Carlos. He had blood on his face but he was standing. He looked over at her. He didn't look away.
He mouthed 'I'm okay,' and Kim found herself able to breath again.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~
"Faith? Hey you alright?" Kim asked the police officer.
"Yeah, I'm okay?"
"How's the kid? What's his name? Gusler or something."
"He's okay too."
"Good."
"You seen Bos?"
"For a bit at the accident sight. We didn't really talk."
"He's okay Kim."
"I know," she rolled her eyes. "I had to marry a cop right?"
"Can't choose who you fall in love with."
"I'd still choose Bosco," Kim said. "I'll see you later."
"Bye."
"She didn't have the right Kim. She went to Lieu instead of just talking to me."
"She tried talking to you. I've tried talking to you. You just won't talk back."
"Kim-"
