"So, how was the weekend?" Doc asked Kim when she was done changing.
"It went okay. Oh, by the way, I put you down as a character reference. I hope you don't mind."
"No, not at all," Doc smiled.
"Thanks. Please lie."
"Kim," Doc laughed.
"I know, I know, I'm being silly."
"Yeah you are," Doc nodded. "Did you put down anyone else?"
"Yeah. We both needed two people that weren't family so I put you and Jimmy down. Don't ask me why I chose Jimmy. I guess it's just that he's known me a lot longer and a lot better then I will ever admit to."
"What about Bosco? Whom'd he put down?"
"Davis and Faith, I think," Kim said before taking a sip of water.
"That reminds me, are Faith and Bosco okay?"
"Why?"
"I don't know. Maybe it was me but I seemed to notice an angry vibe last time we were all together."
"Oh, Faith is probably just a little ticked off at him for some comment he made. He's gotten a lot better but he still puts his foot in his mouth every now and again," Kim smiled ruefully.
"I've noticed that about him, yeah," Doc nodded.
"Haven't we all?" Kim asked wryly.

"Hey Davis, you might be getting a call from the DCFS," Bosco said to the fellow police officer as they left role call.
"Why?"
"I put you down as a character reference."
"Me?" The taller man raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Yeah. I figure you're one of the only people who won't use the words cocky son-of-a bitch in your description."
"You forgot glory hog," Ricky Sanchez said walking past on his way to get a radio.
"And self-absorbed," Jeff Garrison chimed in.
"I am not self-absorbed," Bosco said. "You can't be when you have kids."
"He's got a point," Linda Tepper said. "I mean the glory hog is accurate but he's not self-absorbed."
"Thanks Tepper," Bosco smiled.
"Sure. I'm just glad you didn't put me down as a character reference. You didn't right?"
"No," Bosco shook his head. "You're off the hook." He turned back to Davis, "Anyway, do me a favor? When they call, please lie."
Davis laughed. "About what?"
"I don't know. What kinds of questions get asked when people are asking about your general character? You're the one who almost went to law school, you tell me."
Davis thought it over for a minute and then nodded, "I'll lie, I promise. You better tell whoever else you put down to lie too."
"I will once we're in the RMP," Bosco said shooting a look over at Faith. They hadn't talked much since the day at her apartment. He winced thinking about it. That day had been anything but pleasant. He'd thought long and hard about putting her down as a character reference considering the nature of their fight, but, when all was said and done, to him she was still his best friend and he missed her.
