Off Duty

Chapter 153

Kim smiled when she felt Bosco's arms slide around her waist from behind later that night.

"Hey," he said in her ear.

"Hey yourself," she said turning around. "How you doing?"

"Good. Better now."

"So, what happened?"

"Detectives took custody of Tom at the hospital."

"Guys from the 2-2?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Homicide guys."

"You know what every precinct in this burg does?"

"Just the ones my mom used to date out of. She dated a detective over there that she still keeps in touch with."

"Yeah? Who's that?"

"Lennie something."

"Briscoe, yeah I know him."

Kim smiled and then caught sight of Ty coming out of the precinct. "Hey Ty. About before," she started.

"It's cool Kim. There are days when you guys aren't my favorite people to deal with either. But we gotta get along right?"

"Right. See ya later Ty."

"Bye. Later Bosco."

"Bye." Bosco looked at Kim. "Something I should know about?"

"Just a stupid misunderstanding before. Something I said that I didn't really mean. I was just trying to get Doc's temper in check. By the way, Cruz made it clear that the next time he mouths off to one of you guys, she's arresting his ass."

"Oh really?"

"Yep," Kim nodded.

"So, you mad at me?"

"For what?"

"The whole search thing."

"No. Bos, I know you. You didn't think the guy was dangerous or a suspect so why search him? I know you'd never put me in harm's way."

"Damn straight. The kids would never forgive me," Bosco grinned.

"Ha-ha," Kim said dryly. "C'mon. Let's go home."

"You hungry? We could go to Ma's or Haggerty's."

"Home, bathtub, bed."

"That's my girl."

"Better believe it baby," Kim grinned.
