Jail!
Two IAB cops pulled them out of the van and took them into central booking. They separated them for the strip search but surprisingly they brought them back together instead of keeping them separated.
"Why are you keeping us together?" Cruz asked harshly. Her tone of voice was trying to convince the cops that she was downright pissed off. She was very convincing and kept the cop at a distance.
"Well we were told that you two hated each other so for your punishment we are placing you two together. Also we got so many complaints about the last time you were sent here so we are putting you two in confinement together away from the other prisoners."
They brought them out to another van that would be transporting them to Riker's medium security prison. As they stepped up into the van Bosco studied Cruz's facial expression. He could tell that she was not happy to be sent to jail again, both times for no valid reason. The first time she went there was no valid proof that she had murdered Donald Mann. This time there could be no way that this could hold. Even if it did they would have to look at the evidence and well Cruz tampered with it making it look like they both got good scores that day.
They arrived in about a half an hour and were carefully brought in. Although they were sent to confinement they still had to go past a lot of the inmates. Cruz recognized a lot of them from her last stay. They just gave her evil glares as her and Bosco walked by. They put them in confinement together and locked the gate. They were stuck inside the cell alone, together.
"Jail sucks!" Bosco exclaimed not a moment after the guards had left.
"Speak for yourself papi I have been here once before remember. Luckily you didn't have to get beaten up in order to get confinement." Cruz said briskly. Bosco could tell that she wasn't in a good mood for sarcasm so he laid off.
"You know what I don't even think I understand why you were sent to jail after Faith shot Donald Mann in order to save you?" Bosco questioned.
"What Faith never told you the real thing that happened that night at Donald Mann's apartment roof?" Cruz asked.
"No there's a truth?" Bosco asked.
"Yeah. I went to the apartment to arrest him and as I had him in custody Faith came out of nowhere and started shooting him. So I covered for her I told her what she told you. Then Captain Finney of IAB found cuff marks are the pictures of his body he automatically assumed that I had killed him and he arrested me. I was beaten in jail until I made it to solitary confinement and that is pretty bad on its own. At least I only had to stay there for a day. Who knows how long we'll be here. It they don't find evidence then we're ok but if the charges stick we could be here for ten to fifteen years on conspiracy." Cruz said.
"oh man I never knew that. God why didn't she just tell me the truth. But you changed the scores on the shooting exam didn't you? So we should be fine." He said. Cruz nodded her head in agreement.
After a few minutes of awkward silence Bosco slowly moved in towards Cruz. Cruz understood what he was doing and moved towards him. Slowly and gently their lips met as they were pulled into a passionate kiss. They were kissing for a few minutes when something interrupted them.
"Ok love birds you're free to go. Get outta here!" The guard yelled. Her anger was forceful and scared Cruz. But surprisingly to Cruz she also scared Bosco.
They left the jail on a bus and were taken back to the station. It was 6:00 in the morning.
As they got out Bosco went one way from the station and Cruz went the other but as the bus left the street they turned to each other.
"You want to go get some breakfast with me?" Bosco asked.
"Sure." Cruz answered.
Later on Bosco and Cruz headed into the station together as the shift was about to start. Faith saw them as she came down from upstairs.
"What the hell are you two doing here?" She asked harshly.
"I told you that you would not be able to find proof." Bosco answered.
"Really? And how did you do that? What evidence did you two tamper with this time?" Faith asked forcefully.
"Look we didn't do anything ok Faith. Now just let us do our jobs here." Cruz said. She pushed Faith out of the way and headed up to anti-crime. Bosco went in the other direction to the locker room.
The shift seemed to go on forever but as it finished they all headed up to the locker room.
"So Bosco you ever going to tell me what went on with you and Sergeant Cruz the other night?" As Sully asked Faith walked into the room.
"What do you mean what was going on between them the other night?" She questioned.
"Well when I came out from the precinct I saw them together talking very civilized and well I guess I didn't get that things must have changed between the two of them." Sully answered.
"Yeah I seriously doubt that they were just talking. If anything they were probably scheming a way to cover up what they did at the range." Faith said.
"Look Faith why don't you just shut the hell up, ok? Because there is no need for you to be accusing me and Sergeant Cruz for doing anything, you have no proof." Bosco said angrily. He slammed his locker door shut and left.
"See Faith I thought it was kind of strange because it looked like they were kissing." A look of horror came across Faith's face after Sully's last words.
She immediately followed after Bosco, noticing that he was headed up to the Anti-Crime unit. Bosco walked up to Cruz and started to talk to her, Faith listened outside the doorway.
"I really think that Faith is on to us." Bosco said to her as he walked up.
"Bosco I already told you that there is no way the charges can stick she doesn't have any hard evidence." Cruz said.
"No I don't mean about that, I mean about us." Bosco said. Cruz got a worried look on her face.
"You didn't tell her anything did you?" Cruz asked suspiciously.
"No. But remember Sully had his suspicions so if he said anything to Faith we could be doomed." After he finished his sentence Faith barged into the room.
"You're damn right you're doomed. Why the hell would you want to sleep with that bitch again Bosco huh?" Faith asked.
"Well why the hell not. She's changed so I don't give a crap what you think about me and her. You obviously didn't care about me too much when you ratted me out saying that I cheated." Bosco answered.
"Well things are going to change and I know one thing to do to stop you." Faith walks over and slaps Cruz across the face then punches her out cold. Cruz fell to the ground.
"What the hell is you're problem Faith?" Bosco yelled.
"Just trying to fix things." Bosco ran over and kneeled down beside Cruz.
"If anything happens to her you're going to pay!"
