Truth or Lies

Chapter 10

"Faith, please just go talk to him," Fred, picking up his work jacket, getting ready to head to work turned back to her, "it's been 2 months, you're both back at work and Emily's much better, there is no reason why you can't try to make this better too." Standing watching her as she went over the bills she was paying he glanced at the ground when she didn't answer right away, a deep sigh coming from him, "Faith."

"Go to work Fred," she flatly replied, "there's nothing to be said, we've gone over this enough. My partnership with Bosco is over, and whatever friendship we had..." Furiously shuffling through the papers on the table she muttered, "damn it, where is the electric bill?"

Continuing to stare at her, Fred felt helpless, he knew Faith's guilt was eating her up and there seemed to be nothing he could do to help, giving up for now, again, he made his voice as cheerful as he could, "I'll see you when you get off tonight, love you babe. Oh and the electric bill was paid already, did that last week remember?"

Faith held the papers motionless in her hands, glancing up at him grateful he'd dropped it, she smiled, making her voice cheerfully loving, "Oh yea, sorry. Hey, Fred, how about I bring home some of that ice cream you like if you want, I'm going by Angelos anyway."

"Sure," he grinned, giving her a wicked glare, "and I'll make sure we have whipped cream," changing his look to 'innocent', "for the ice cream."

Faith chuckled remarking, "Oh of course, for the ice cream," as he headed out the door she added calling after him, "I love you too Fred."

XXXXX

Bosco heading out of the Station house flipped his keys over in his palm, a jaunty bounce in his step as he took the steps two at a time, his partner Sasha already waiting at the RMP, chatting with Ty.

"Oh man, for crying outloud," Bosco grinned as he gave them a hard time, "get a room already, its bad enough I have to hear all about your dates, do I have to SEE it too?"

"Jealous." Ty smirked over the top of the RMP at him.

"Yea, that's what it is," Bosco shot right back, taking Ty and Sasha by surprise when he smirked waggling his brows at Ty, "you were mine first, I get that way when I get dumped for some cute chick."

Laughing outloud as Sasha gave a shout of laughter at Ty's stunned red faced look, Ty laughing as he shook his head, "Bos, sometimes I really think Sully was right about you."

"Huh?" Bosco stopped laughing as Ty laughed louder, giving him a hard look now, "What did he say?"

"Nothing Bosco," Sasha slapped Ty on the arm, "he's just yanking your chain," turning to him, "you ready?"

"Yea," Bosco slowly replied as he watched Ty heading off, calling out to Ty, "What did Sullivan say about me?"

Ty's shoulders were shaking as he waved his hand in the air to ward off more Bosco, seeing Sully coming out of the Station house, hearing Sasha telling Bosco to get in the car and ignore him, he responded as Sully asked what was going on, "Just messing with Bosco, but don't be surprised if you get him up your butt later asking you what was it you said about him."

About to open the RMP's door, Sully glared at him, "Oh crap, you told him I said something about him?" Yanking open the door, he climbed in the drivers seat as Ty took his seat on the passenger side, "That's all I need, a week of Mr. Paranoid climbing all over me everytime I hit the locker room or diner, busting my chops about what I supposedly said."

"Yea ain't it great," Ty smirked as Sully reversed the RMP from its slot, "give Sasha and I some 'private' time while you get to entertain Bosco."

"Your an evil man Ty Davis," Sully groused as he slipped the gear into drive, "I'm telling your Mother on you."

XXXXX

"Bosco," Sasha sighed as they dealt with the end of an accident scene, "please give it a rest, you know Ty was just pulling your leg because of your comment about us always all over each other, which by the way we aren't." Handing the driver of an SUV that had run a light and sideswiped another SUV a ticket, she turned to watch the medics finish patching up a head cut, the owner of it having refused to go in.

"But," Bosco was not to be thwarted, "you," pointing to Sasha over the top of the Gurney, "weren't here when he told everyone that I was..." breaking off as he saw Carlos's interested look, "what are you looking at?"

"Told them what?" Carlos grinned, raising his voice an octave, "That you were 'light in the loafers"?"

Sasha gasped then laughed as the man getting his head patched looked at Bosco shocked, remarking, "You are? I thought NYPD didn't allow Gay cops? Wow, progress, hey I have a brother in law who's looking for someone..."

Bosco gaped at him, shouting, "DID I YANK YOUR CHAIN?" Looking over at Sasha, yelling, "SEE, SEE ITS STARTED ALREADY!" Glaring at Carlos, "YOU AND YOUR BIG MOUTH!"

"Me?" Carlos ducked his head looking over at Holly, "I didn't say it, and Bos, neither did Sully, it was Jimmy started that one."

"He did?" Bosco's mouth dropped open, "THAT SON OF A BI..."

"OKAY," Sasha interrupted, "I think we've cleared up who started that rumor, now, are we done here?" She was trying her hardest not to laugh as Bosco turned three shades of red, and began to bluster, Carlos laughing outloud as Holly standing next to Bosco patted him on the arm.

Sincerely seeming to be trying to comfort him, she made it several degrees worse when she commented, "Really Maurice, there's nothing to be ashamed of, being Gay is not something you have to hide from your friends. We'd all understand, right guys?"

Carlos almost fell on the ground, Sasha gave up trying not to laugh as Bosco nearly screamed at Holly, "I'M NOT GAY DAMN IT!" Hauling ass around the gurney heading off to the RMP, yelling at Sasha, "LETS GO, NOW!!"

"Thanks a lot guys," she laughed but was dreading the rest of the day, "I have to ride with him you know, I can't thank you enough."

"No problem," Holly smirked as she high fived Carlos, "anything we can do to help we're happy to do."

Carlos looking at Holly with new respect, said awed, "That was great, who knew you had it in you to be evil like that!"

"Oh Carlos," she grinned at him as she had the man sign the refusal, "you have no idea."
