"You okay?" Bosco looked at Randi.
"No. Can I just go home?"
"Randi, you need to talk to him."
"Bosco, I can't. I mean it's been so long since he knew my mom. What if he doesn't remember her. Or even believe me."
"Sully is a good guy. A little intence but he will believe you." Bosco took her hand and lead her though the door. She stopped him.
"You said he needed a little good news. Why?"
"His wife was murdered a month ago. He's been..well distand and alone. We're all worried about him. This is the first time in like forever we got him to come out with us."
"Bosco I can't go in there and tell him something like this in the wake of his wife's death. I mean...I can't."
"Randi, please. I'll be right there. I'll help you though this."
"Why? You don't know me."
"I want to know you. I want to be your friend. I think this would be the best thing for Sully."
"Can we take it slow and feel him out? He may not like surprises."
"Okay. But you run out again I'll catch you and hall your ass back over my shoulder."
"Did I mention I was a Marine."
"Did I mention I was a Ranger." He pushed her forward. "Don't make me do anything drastic Mallony. I'm trying reall hard here to make this work."
"Me and my father or me and you?"
"Both if you give me a chance." Bosco shoved her the last foot to the bar stool next to Sully. "Davis, Sully this is Miranda Mallony, Randi. She starts at the house tomorrow." The two men looked at her. Sully nearly dropped his beer. Only Bosco noticed.
"Hey." Ty held out his hand. Miranda took it.
"Hi." Sully just stared. "Hi Sully." She smiled shyly. This time he did loose grip of his glass and it went tumbling to the table.
"Hey Sul, watch it." He looked at Davis.
"Sorry man." He turned back to Miranda. "You don't by any chance know a Milinda Mallony?"
"She's my mother. Or I should day was." Randi looked saddened. "She died in September."
"Oh God. I'm sorry. I knew your mom....."
"Twenty nine years ago." Miranda looked into Sully's eyes. "She told me all about you before she died."
"She did?"
"She thought I should know about my father."
"So much for taking it slow Mallony." Bosco leand over and wispered in her ear.
"Mary mother of God." Sully stood. "Why didn't she tell me?"
"You were gone when she found out. My grandparents kicked her out so she moved to Iowa with my uncle. She had a stroke giving birth to me so for a long time she was ill. When she was better she thought you would of forgotten her...so she just went on." Davis had put his hand on his partners shoulder.
"You okay Sul?"
"I think so." Bosco gentally ran his and across Randi's lower back. Trying to ease her tention.
"She loved you very much."
"Not as much as I loved her. I got back from basic training and she had disappeared. Her parents wouldn't even talk to me."
"If it's any consulation they never talked to me until they called and told me mom was sick. I was in the gulf on an assingment. The waited almost too long to find me."
"The gulf? You were in the military?"
"Marines. Search and rescue mostly. I'm with K-9 now." She smiled. "They just assinged me to a rot named Sully." Bosco lauged. How could he not. "I took it as a sign to find you. I got assigned to the 55 and saw you at role call and nearly died. Mom kept up on your accomplisments so I knew you were with the department but not what precient."
"I didn't know...I mean...we talked about marriage but hell we were both seventeen."
"She didn't regret any of it Sully. Not one day. She knew you loved her then and when she was better she didn't want to mess up any life you had made for yourself."
"I never married until a year ago." Randi felt Bosco tence, his fist clenching in the small of her back. Either way she went with her next words were going to be painful. "My wife died reacently."
"I'm sorry." The tension lifted from both Randi and Bosco. "You waited a long time."
"I never really stopped caring about your mom. She was a very special woman. Even at seventeen she knew what she wanted." Sully looked into his glass. "Did she ever become a lawyer?" Randi smiled.
"About six years ago. She passed the bar and was doing pro bono work for my uncle's firm in Albany."
"Good for her. Can I ask...how she...."
"Cancer. She worked to hard and didn't even know she was sick until it was too late."
"I'm sorry."
"She was happy. Everyday I went to see here she had a new story to tell me about your time together. I think she wished she would of tried harder to find you. She told me I needed to meet the most loving man god put on earth." She covered her hand with his. "I just wanted to meet my dad." She smiled. "And I'm not disappointed that he's one in the same."
