"Uh-huh," Bosco nodded as he drove himself and Kim home.

Kim eyed him. She was talking about a patient who was old enough to be her father and the fact that he'd been hitting on her. She decided to test Bosco's listening skills. "And then Carlos and I got it on in the back of the ambulance. Then I went back to the house and surprised Jimmy in the shower. You know I think he's learned a few things since the last time we slept together."

"Uh-huh."

"Bosco!"

"What?" He glanced at her.

"You haven't heard one word I've said."

"Sure I have," he said.

"Really? I just told you that I had sex with Carlos in the ambulance and then I did it with Jimmy in the showers at the house and all you had to say was 'uh-huh.' What gives?"

"Nothing," Bosco said.

Kim nodded. "Faith called me today. She wanted me to hear it from her before I heard it through the grapevine."

"Hear what?" Bosco just did not want to believe that Faith could be that presumptuous. Kim was his wife. Faith didn't have the right to tell her anything, not anymore.

"That she asked for a new partner."

"Figures. And she made it sound like it was my fault, right?"

"No." Kim said simply. "She just said you two were different people. Too different to keep being partners," she absently played with her engagement ring. She could see Faith standing next to Bosco the day they'd been married in her mind's eye. "So, Anti-Crime is a permanent thing now?"

"Looks that way," Bosco said parking the car in front of their building. He reached over and covered Kim's hand with his. "Look at me."

She did as he asked and tried to smile.

"You look so scared, do you know that?"

"You being out there with Cruz scares me. She's not stable Bosco."

"I know. But neither are Faith and I."

"Are we?"

"Stable? Hell yes. I can't even imagine where'd I be without you."

"Screwing nameless woman left and right."

"Now, once upon a time that would have sounded great. I guess it just goes to show you what a good woman can do for a man," Bosco flirted.

"She's still your best friend Bosco," Kim said quietly.

"Kim-"

"No. Just listen to me. She's stuck by you through a lot and you've done the same with her. I want you to think about that. I also want you to think back to a little over a year ago. Does Shaquana Golden ring any bells with you?"

Bosco tried to pull back but Kim wouldn't let go of his hand. "So?"

"Faith busted her ass that day proving you weren't the one who killed the son of a bitch who raped that little girl. I'm gonna ask you a question and I want you to think about the answer for a while. Do you think for two seconds that Cruz would do that for you? Do you think she would even break a sweat to prove you were innocent? Because I don't. I think she would leave you twisting in the wind. Faith wouldn't do that. She didn't when it was Shaquana and even if you said you never wanted her anywhere near you again she wouldn't do it now. That's what a friend is Bosco. That's what Faith is," Kim said before she released his hand and got out of the car.

Bosco watched her walk up the stairs and into the building. He'd go in a minute. He just wanted to calm down a little. He wasn't mad at Kim. He was annoyed.

Annoyed because he knew that she was right.
