Summary: Something happens to Faith Yokas. It's up to her colleagues to find and get to her in time.
"So," Boscorelli said as he looked round the locker room. "Anyone up for a beer?" There was complete silence from his partner; Faith Yokas as she quickly changed into her civilian clothes and slammed her own locker door securely shot. "Okay," Bosco said in a low tone and looked to John "Sully" Sullivan and Ty Davis. "Come on guys, you'll come for a beer right?"
"Let me guess," Sully said quietly. "Our shout?"
"You know me," Bosco said with a disarming smile. Sully considered it and exchanged a glance with Davis who simply shrugged as she shoved his shirt on; "I could do with a beer to wind down right about now. Sully?" The older man looked to the two of them, then over to Faith who had been unusually quiet. "You going?"
Faith looked over to him and shook her head as she carried on putting items in her bag, "Can't," she answered not looking back at them. "Gotta get back home to Fred and the kids."
"Come on," Bosco said in a whiny voice and smiled. "An hour with the boys? Hey if you're a good girl I'll buy you a beer." Davis' hand shot to his mouth in mock disbelief and looked to Sully who had an amused look of his own. "Talk about an offer you can't refuse," Sully quipped. Faith picked up her bag and made her way over to the door, "Sorry guys, I promised Fred I'd get home." With that, she walked out.
Bosco didn't hesitate a second as he went after his partner, his best friend. "Faith," he said running after her and stopping her in the corridor. "You alright, you've seemed pretty distant all day. Having problems with Em again?"
"I wish it were just Emily," Faith answered quickly, putting her hands on her hips. "I keep telling myself it's just a phase but it's not going away." She put a hand to her forehead and smoothed back her blonde hair and turned away, "You don't want to hear this." Bosco grabbed her lightly by the shoulders and turned her towards him. "Hey Faith, this is me you're talking to. You can tell me anything."
"I know Bos," Faith said affectionately. "I just don't want to trouble you with it."
"Really not complaining here," Bosco said with a smile. Faith regarded him fondly with a smile; he liked to act all tough guy but when it came down to it. He really wasn't how he liked to portray himself and for that, Faith Yokas knew she had a friend for life. "I know, look I gotta get off. See you tomorrow, partner."
"Alright," Bosco said somewhat reluctantly. "See ya tomorrow, partner." He put his hands in his pockets as Faith left through the main entrance to the precinct.
Faith walked out and looked into the night sky. It was a beautiful night, something Faith always took great advantage of for some reason. She was always too busy working or with the kids or even with Fred. For once, she'd just like a little her time. To get away from it all. "Like that's ever gonna happen," Faith muttered to herself as she started walking.
