I hope you all like this so far. I know I have a lot of unfinnished buiness in the story department but with those I am blocked. This ones flowing out.

Chapter Two-HOME

"Thank you for coming back with me Sully." Miranda Boscorelli drove though the New York wilderness like she owned the roads. He wasn't sure if he should be scared or not.

"I don't know what I can do but if I can help with anything."

"Bosco seems to think so. Even if just being there makes it better for him." Miranda had been married to Marice Boscorelli for four years. In that time he had worked the worst streets in New York. He didn't need anyone but his partner. Chris Hanson had been his best friend since he and Faith had grown apart. Chris knew Bosco better then he knew himself sometimes. Chris was gone now and Bosco was lost. Miranda didn't know how to make things right anymore. She needed help and she figured John Sullivan was her only hope. "He's changed." She said not really to Sully but just to say it out loud.

"Bosco?"

"Yeah. He…he's been so distant and alone. Like he was before…before I came to New York."

"Bosco said you were a Texas Ranger." Miranda smiled.

"Yeah. He came to Fort Worth for a covention and left with my heart." Sully looked skeptical. "I know. I was a sucker for the bad boy attitude. And damn did he look good in a pair of jeans." Sully laughed. He liked Bosco's wife. She was so…not Bosco.

"Your son. Does he look like you or Bosco?" Sully didn't know why it even mattered. Maybe it was because she sounded so light about talking about family. He liked the sound of her voice.

"Ethan…Ethan John is all Bosco. From his additude to his smile."

"Your son's middle name is John?" Miranda smiled.

"Bosco insisted." Sully never knew the impacked he had on everything Bosco did. He was a better cop and a better man because of him. "He's a wounderful husband and father. Then Chris disappeared. He was Bosco's partner. Ty and Brendon dug up some files. Files on Chris. It seems he was working some angles on a drug case on his own time. One PP found out and he just didn't come to work the next day. Or the next. No one would tell Bosco anything. So I dug and so did Faith and Jon Miller. We all hit dead-end apon dead ends. No one wanted to tell us where Chris was or if he was even alive. Bosco has just been going along. He got a new partner and he thinks the guy is there to keep an eye on him so he won't go looking for Chris."

"Where do you fit in with all this?"

"I'm expendable, I guess. I'm SVU. They don't think I'm a threat. As much noise as Bosco has been making they kinda forgot about me."

"So they let you leave the city without being followed?"

"I didn't say I wasn't followed. They just gave up after awhile."

"So all this is over a missing street cop?"

"It's more then Chris. More good cops have been turning up missing or…dead." Miranda slowed down and pulled into a small gas station. "Mostly Street cops with no family. Somethings going down and we need to find out what it is before it's to late." Putting the car in park she looked out the windshild. "There has always been coruption in the department but now…it's worse then that." Taking out her cell phone she dialed a number. "I want to let Bosco know we're on the way home." Sully notice her eyes were always moving. Scaning the horizon and back again. "Hey…it's me." Sully watched the way she lit up when Bosco answered the phone. She smiled and talked a little more and hung up. "He can't wait to see you." Miranda got out and put fuel in the vehicle. She came back with a couple of waters. "Thought you might be thirsty.

"Not many people say no to you do they Miranda?"

"Not really. My dad said I had a seductive personality even when I was a child." Sully noticed she had a slight southern drawl. Bosco had found him a sweet southern belle. 'Good for him.' Sully thought.

Miranda pulled off the freeway and drove into Broklyn. She drove fast but safe though the midmornings traffic. She knew that Sully could help Bosco. He hadn't been himself since Chris disappeared. She had been strong for him but if things didn't change soon she was afaid she would have to find away to protect herself. It would break her heart if she had to give her husband the choice of becoming the man he once was or she would take Ethan and leave. Some nights he didn't sleep. He worked twelve-hour shifts and get home tirered and depressed. She called Faith. She called Ty and Brennen. Hell she even called Carlos and Holly. He needed his friends around him. None of it helped. Maybe Sully could.

"Ty and Sasha are at the house. I think he was just as excited or more that you were coming home." She turned down a tree-lined street.

"New York isn't home anymore."

"Home is where your loved Sully." She pulled into a drive way behind a green SUV. "Welcome home John Sullivan." She put the SUV into park and tuned off the key. The front door opened and a miniture Bosco came running down the front steps. Miranda got out and cought the boy as he flew into her arms. "Hey peanut. Where's your daddy?"

"Inside with Uncle Ty and Antie Sasha." The boy hugged her close. "Is that him?" He wispered in her ear. "Is that my Uncle Sully?" Miranda smiled.

"Yeah Ethan John…that's your Uncle Sully." They boy gigled and buried his head in his mothers shoulder. At that moment Bosco stepped out of the house followed by Ty and Sasha. "Welcome home Uncle Sully." Miranda put down the boy and shut the door. She met Bosco half way to the house. He picked her up and hugged her, giving her a kiss most would envy. Slowly John Sullivan undid his seat belt and took a deep breath. Seeing his friends of days gone past made this place almost feel like…like…. HOME.
