"Last call boys and girls." Mike the bartender stood infront of Sully and smiled. "Isn't past your bead time old man."

"Bite me Mike." He looked at Randi. "You need a ride home?" Sully couldn't believe he was sitting there talking to his daughter. He had a daughter.

"No, I don't live far." Ty had gone home long ago but Bosco had stayed for moral support mostly. He helped her with her jacket. "We'll talk tomorrow, well later today." She ipulsivly hugged Sully. "Drive safe."

"Take care. Night Bosco."

"Night Sully. Take it easy." Randi looked into her glass and then took the last drink. "You okay?"

"Better then I thought I would be. Walk me home?"

"I thought you'd never ask." They headed out the door into the crisp night.

"I think it went well. What about you?" Randi and Bosco had walked about two blocks in silence before she got a little jittery and needed to talk.

"I think it went great." Boso looked at her. "I haven't seen Sully smile since even before his wife died."

"Can I ask what happened?"

"She was murdered by a Russian Mob guy named Chevchenko."

"I heard of him. He was metioned in some case files I was going over. Did they get him for her murder?"

"In a way. Sully shot him when he went to get him on tape, confessing."

"Jeese. Well justice is justice." Randi stopped. "This is it." She started up the steps. "If your not in a hurry you want to walk Sully with me?" Bosco smiled. Neither one of them wanted this night to end.

"Sure." He followed her up the steps. Unlocking the door Randi turned to Bosco.

"He likes new people and gets a little friendly. It's a habit the department wants me to break but he's such a goof ball. But when it comes to work he's all business."

"Kinda sounds like Davis." They laughed. They walked into the door and the tan and black dog stood with his leash in his mouth. "Ahhh I think he needs to go out."

"You think?" She knelt down and took the leash from the dogs mouth. His head was almost as big as hers. "Sully, this is Bosco. He's PD. Be nice." The rot walk up to him and sat at his feet and raised a paw.

"Nice to meet you buddy." Bosco felt silly but he shook the dogs paw. In turn the dog jumped up and put his paws on Bosco's shoulders.

"No hugs Sully, down." The dog listened and Randi snapped on his leash. She grabbed a couple of bags. "You ready?"

"Lead the way." They started walking toward the park. "How long have you two been together?"

"That's kinda personal insn't it Bosco?" Randi laughed. "A year. They let me train him from a pup The corp let me take him because no one wanted to put up with his ass after I left. He was like in a depression. They don't make puppy prozac so they sent him to me."

"I'd get kinda depressed too if you left me all alone with strangers."

"Remind me never to put you though that." She looked at Sully. "I got him back just after mom died. And his name just said I needed to find my dad." Randi stopped and let the dog do his buisness. "Me and my mom never really talked till the end. There was so much left unsaid. She never wanted me to join the Marines but it was something I had to do for me."

"I'm sure she knew that. And was proud of you."

"I know. I just...I wish she could of been here. I need to tell her about tonight and meeting Sully." She looked at Bosco. "And meeting you."

"You want to tell your mom something as important as meeting your father. How do I fit into that?"

"Meeting you was important too. You helped me realize I needed to meet him."

"You can still tell her you know. I was always told that people you love, never really leave. Their always in your heart and you can talk to them whenever you want."

"How old were you when you were told this?"

"Actually my partner told me last week. Or in so many words. Her son was asking about talking to his grandpa who died a few years ago." Bosco looked down at his shoes. "Charlie keeps him informed of everything it seems."

"Well I'm not a child." Randi started walking and Bosco took her arm and stopped her.

"No one ever said you were." He leaned over and kissed her. Her lips were warm dispite the chill in the October air. Bosco took her head in his hands and deepened the kiss. Randi didn't protest. She clenched the wiast of his jacket, not wanting to get to close but not wanting to break the contact. Bosco pulled away first. He looked at Randi her eyes closed. "You don't kiss like a child."

"You don't play fair Boscorelli."

"Nobody said I did." She opened her brown eyes. "I'm not sorry. Are you?"

"Not one little bit." Randi swollowed hard. "It's really late." As if on cue Sully pulled on his leash. "I can walk back alone if you want to head home."

"Is that what you want me to do?" The storm brewing in her eyes told him know. But he didn't want her to think that that all he wanted from her was tonight.

"No. But we both know that." Randi turned and headed back to her apartment. She didn't look back to see if he would follow because she knew he would. He felt the pull as stong as she did. Feeling him take her hand she smiled. This day was shaping up better then she ever imagianed.
