Chapter 3 A brother on a mission
Madison Marie Daniels sat on her playschool tike bike in the middle of Aunt Max's living room. Crashing into whatever she found necessary, and giggling afterwards, she wasn't really paying attention to the intense conversations going on around her. Her mom and Aunt Wendie were sitting on the couch talking to Faith. Uncle Bosco was on the phone, and scribbling onto a pad of paper, while Aunt Bridgette was trying to keep Aunt Max from being even more wound up. Madison crashed into one of the cabinets and giggled some more, then took off in another direction
Bosco leaned back in the chair and growled a little, tapping the pen onto the table.
"What?" Max asked.
"Connor's got me on hold." He replied.
"Our Connor?" Max asked.
Bosco could have smacked her, "No, the one that the alien's dropped off."
Max folded her arms and sighed. The Connor they were talking about was Detective Connor Wilcox. He had just transferred to the 5-5 from Los Angeles a couple months back. Within that time, he had become very close friends with Bosco, along with many others at Camelot.
Madison stopped her bike, and looked around at everyone for a minute. She could see that Uncle Bosco was looking rather unhappy, so she made him her target. Jumping off the bike, she took off full speed towards him, then clung to his leg, "Unckie Bozzzz!"
Bosco balanced the phone between his ear and shoulder, then scooped Madison up into his lap. She smiled, satisfied that she was now getting the attention she wanted.
"Yeah I'm here," Bosco said into the phone. He had nearly jumped when Connor got back on the line, "Uh huh, 602 47th? Yeah, ok. I'll send her down to the house. Thanks Man."
He clicked off his phone, shoved it in his pocket, and slid Madison down onto the floor in almost one motion, "Ok look," he started, "I had Connor run his name through the system, and he's in there for a DWI, so we have his address. Lexi get down to the station, Connor's waiting for you, he'll help you with the restraining order ok?"
"Can I go with her?" Wendie asked.
"Of course." Faith replied.
"The rest of you guys, stay here, don't leave until I call you. And if you even THINK he's back, call us, ok?" Bosco instructed.
The girls nodded, and with that, Bosco tore out of the apartment with Faith on his heels.
"So much for work." Bridgette said, grabbing up her phone to call her boss.
Lexi blinked, "Max…What do you think he's going to do?"
"Lex…how long have you known us?" Max asked.
"I was hoping you were going to say that." Lexi replied.
Wendie smirked a little, "If Bosco has his way, Steve won't have ANY more kids running around this city."
"Bosco hold up!" Faith said, following him up the apartment stairs, a flight behind, "Bosco!"
He stopped, and looked at her over the railing, "What?"
"Don't barge in there and shove your fist down his throat first thing ok?" She said, catching up with him.
"Ok, fine," Bosco replied, starting up again, "I'll put a bullet in his ass and THEN shove my fist down his throat, ok?"
"Bosco!" Faith called giving chase, "Ok, ya know what? Screw it. Knock his head off."
Bosco stormed down the hallway of the fourth floor, scanning the room numbers, then stopped in front of one, "Hello 7D," he said, before banging on the door, "OPEN UP!"
There was no answer at first, and Bosco continued to pound on the door until a voice was heard, "Who's there!"
"NYPD! OPEN THE DOOR!" Faith shouted.
The locks clicked, and the door opened halfway, "What do you want?"
Bosco was annoyed, seeing Steve's face again after what he had done years before, "Oh you know EXACTLY what we're here for pal," he started, shoving him into his apartment, "Let's chat, asshole."
Steve stumbled a little from Bosco's force, but regained himself once he was into the living room, "What do you want!"
"Ok, let's get this straight RIGHT NOW. Stay the hell away from those girls and stay away from the baby. You got it!" Bosco shouted straight into Steve's face.
"I just wanted to see my kid," He replied, "I went over there to talk to Lexi and she freaked out."
"You expected her NOT to!" Bosco asked.
"Look man, I grew up, I want to see her."
"Then get a lawyer." Faith replied. By looking around at the shit hole of an apartment Steve was living in, she knew he wouldn't be able to afford one.
"Yeah, I'll get right on that." Steve shot to her.
"Look ass," Bosco said, getting right in his face, "I'm telling you now. Stay away from them. They have a restraining order, and if you so much as BREATHE over that line I'll be right there to lock you away."
Steve stood there for a minute, then put his hands up, "Fine, done."
As they left the apartment, Bosco was still steaming. When they hit the bottom floor, he saw the mailbox for Steve's apartment. Pulling out his nightstick, he jammed it into the lock until it caved in and the box popped open, "Take that asshole."
Faith blinked, "You feel better now!"
"Yeah, actually I do."
When Max's cell phone rang, she almost dropped it onto the floor before being able to answer it, "What happened?"
"Breathe," Bosco replied, "He won't be bothering you guys anymore."
Max let out a sigh of relief, then gave Bridgette a small smile before asking her brother, "What did you do?"
"Took care of it."
"What was he thinking!"
"He wasn't, Max. Come on." Bosco replied.
"Well, duh!"
"What what!" Bridgette asked, tugging on Max's arm.
Max swatted her away while she listened to Bosco's explanation, nodding along.
After she ended the call, Bridgette was practically on top of her, "Well!"
"They told him that he has no rights being here and that if he really wants to see the baby he needs a lawyer. He said that his apartment is an absolute dump, so there's no way of him affording a lawyer. My brother told him about the restraining order, and that if he even thinks about….well you know the rest."
She nodded, then flopped onto the couch, "Thank God that's over."
"Yeah, no shit." Max replied, sitting down next to her.
"Where's the baby?" Bridgette asked.
"In my room sleeping, remember?" Max answered, giving her best friend a strange look.
"Oh yeah."
"Don't get all paranoid on me, ok?"
"I'll work on that."
Hours later, the girls were over at Lexi and Wendie's. Lexi was still reading over the restraining order for the 100th time, at least.
"Why not put a copy of it all over the place?" Max said, "That way you just have to look around, instead of jumping up to find it all the time."
Lexi glared, "Ass."
"EARS." Max replied, looking towards Madison.
Lexi rolled her eyes, she was too wound to care at that point.
"Lex just try and relax," Wendie said, "Bosco took care of it, it's fine."
She put the paper down on the counter and sighed, "Yeah."
Madison was down for the count at 11, when Bosco called to check on the girls.
"Are you and Bridgette still coming out tonight?" He asked.
"Uh," Max replied, looking at Lexi, "I think we're gonna stay here."
"NO WAY!" Lexi exclaimed, jumping to her feet, "They're coming Bosco." She said into the phone.
"Lex!" Bridgette said.
"What?" Lexi replied, "Danny's on his way over here to stay with us, and you two have plans tonight. There's no point in you guys staying home, it doesn't make a difference if there's two or four of us here being all paranoid."
Max blinked, then spoke into the phone, "I'll see ya there Boz."
