"Davis! I can't believe you had the guts to come back again this year," Jimmy said as Sully and Davis walked into the gym.

"He was just holding back last year," Bosco replied as he walked by Jimmy and stole the basketball that he was twirling on his finger.

"Hey!" Jimmy yelled grabbing for the ball but missing as Bosco dribbled away.

"Get used to it, Doherty," Bosco yelled over his shoulder.

"I can't believe I'm gonna sit here and watch these two guys try to out do each other," Kim said as Faith sat down next to her.

"Yeah. We are gluttons for punishment, aren't we," Faith stated.

"Bosco'll be glad you came, Faith," Kim told her. Faith only slightly nodded her head.

"Fred and the kids are visiting his Mom this weekend," Faith told her.

"So, I'm takin' it that you two aren't on the best terms at work," Kim said matter-of-factly as she watched the group warming up and harassing each other.

"He tell you that?" Faith asked.

"He doesn't have to. He's talking to me about things that he'd normally talk to you about," Kim said. "Don't get me wrong. I like that he's talking to me about those things," she quickly added. "It's just that, you know-" she trailed off as she noticed someone enter the gym from across the room.

Faith noticed at the same time and Kim could see her tense up as she said, "Oh great."

Without taking her eyes off of Cruz, Kim said, "You're Bosco's oldest and closest friend, Faith. He thinks you hold a bad opinion of him and I believe it scares him."

"He did what he did, Kim. There's no changing that. He thinks there's nothing wrong with it. We don't agree, but that doesn't mean I'm not still his friend," she told her as they both watched Cruz move closer to the group of cops standing around. They watched as she made her way through the group and wound up behind Bosco.

Faith noticed Bosco stealing glances in her and Kim's direction. She felt him do that in the RMP during their shift. There's no denying that there's a change in their relationship as much as she wished it wasn't true.

Just as Cruz was about to say something to Bosco, Faith yelled, "Yo! Are we gonna get this basketball game started or what? I don't want that shelf I dusted off in the Roll Call Room today to fill up with dust again before we put the Camelot Cup back where it belongs!" An excited hum started up again and Cruz looked quickly up in Faith's direction, first catching Faith's attention and then Kim's. She gave one of her evil smirks and went to sit down on the bleachers near the NYPD bench.

"She's trouble, Kim," Faith said.

"I trust him," Kim replied.

"I do too. But, I don't trust her. She's bad news and she's gonna do everything she can to try to either get what she wants or bring down anyone that gets in her way," Faith said, standing up.

"Where're you going?" Kim asked her.

"I have some unfinished business," she said as she made her way toward Cruz.

Cruz caught sight of Faith approaching just as her cell phone rang. She answered it and looked around the room briefly before putting the phone back in her pocket.

"Boscorelli!" she yelled out onto the court. Bosco looked around to see it was Cruz who called him and he walked over to her.

"Anti-Crime's got a lead. We could use some help," she said, feeling the heat of Kim's stare on her, but not looking up.

Bosco looked past Faith to Kim and then back to Cruz. "Sorry, Sergeant, but I already had a couple of beers. Next time though?"

"You really had too much to drink?" Cruz asked him, giving him another chance.

"One too many to be running around with a gun," he said as Jimmy came up alongside them.

"Ladies, we have a game to- Oh, Bosco. Sorry. I thought you were one of the girls," Jimmy teased. "Are we gonna get this game under way, or what?"

Bosco tried to hide the smirk and replied, "Oh, we're so ready. Let's go, Bucket Boys," he said as the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

"Thanks, Jimmy," Kim thought to herself, knowing that Jimmy went over to distract Bosco from Cruz. She'd told Jimmy of her distrust of the woman one day while they were at work.

It had been a close game and the competition between Jimmy Doherty and Maurice Boscorelli was intense to say the least. "I really hate when they get like this," Kim said to Alex who was on the FDNY bench in front of her.

"Well, Kim. You brought this on yourself," Alex teased. "You have the one that realizes what he let get away and," she paused.

"And?" Kim urged her to continue.

"And the one that loves any opportunity to rub his nose in it," she finished as Jimmy and Bosco connected with each other again, Bosco receiving an elbow to the shoulder blade and Jimmy receiving an elbow to the ribs. Kim and Alex laughed as they gathered their things.

The whistle blew indicating the end of the game. After a few minutes of joking around, it was decided where everyone would meet up for snacks and some drinks. Bosco walked over to where Kim was standing.

"Hey. So, how'd I look?" he asked her.

"I don't know. You two can compare bruises in the morning and then we'll declare the winner," she said, pinching his arm.

"Ow!" he yelled out loud and then laughed as Kim started to follow Alex out. "Hey, thanks, Babe. That one may have put me over the top!" he yelled after her.

"You're hopeless, Boscorelli!" she replied over her shoulder at him, giving him the look that said that she wanted to go home and have her way with him.

"But you love me anyway, right!? Right?!" he said, grabbing his bag and jogging to catch up with them. He felt someone's stare and turned to see Faith walking slowly out the door. She looked up to catch his eye and the two nodded goodnight to each other.
