"55th precinct, how can I help?" Faith Yokas said as she answered the phone. She usually didn't answer the phone, but she just happened to be there the time the phone rang.

"Y-Yes. I'm calling on half of Officer Boscorelli." A woman's shaky voice said over the phone.

"Bosco?"

"H-He told me to call here. The school where I work just got taken over by several men with guns."

"Ma'am can you tell me what school?"

"It's um, Hope Elementary near Central Park."

At the sound of her son's school, Faith froze. She quickly shook off the shock and continued to listen and question. "And where is Officer Boscorelli now?"

"He went inside."

"Damn it. Okay, get yourself somewhere safe and stay there. The police are on their way." Faith hung up the phone and shouted into the precinct, "10-13! 10-13! 10-14 in progress! Officer needs assistance at Hope Elementary. Officer Boscorelli already on the scene. He may be a hostage."

Several officers ran downstairs to assist Faith. Sully, Davis, and even Cruz were among them. They all climbed into their cars and tore after the school.

"Take the kid back." The captor stated after they got Bosco and Charlie into an empty room.

"No! No, I don't want to go. Bosco!" Charlie screamed as a man picked him up and started to carry him away.

"Charlie, it'll be okay. Just be quiet and do as they say." Bosco said trying to calm the boy down. The screaming stopped as Charlie left the room.

"Nice choice you made there, not trying anything that could cost a life." The captor said as he circled Bosco.

The pain in Bosco's ribs came back as he turned to face the man. "What do you want with all of these kids, huh? They didn't do anything to you."

"I don't care Bosco. Can't you get that past your thick skull!" The man approached Bosco and punched him the stomach for no apparent reason. When Bosco tried to fight back, the man took his shotgun and swung it at Bosco's head. Bosco fell to the floor unconscious and bleeding from his head.

"I'd kill you if it weren't that we needed you to get to her."

Faith pulled up in her car. Sully and Davis right behind her. She quickly exited the car and started to tape off the school.

"Faith, maybe we should wait until the others get here. We should clear the block anyway." Sully told her in his deep, gruff, voice.

"I know. Let me tape off the entrance first so no one goes in."

"Faith." Sully stated simply.

"Sully, I don't have time to-"

"Faith!" Ty Davis yelled as he ran forward and pushed her to the ground. A wave of bullets whizzed by them overhead. Sully ran behind one of the squads and shouted into his radio.

"10-13! 10-13! Officers need assistance! Shots fired! I repeat, shots fired!"

Soon the bullets stopped and they were replaced by a loud, booming, voice.

"Faith Yokas. Now how did I know that you were going to show up?"

Ty looked over at Faith. They had crawled behind the car now and were all lined up next to each other. "Faith, do you know this guy?"

"I don't know. I can't see him. He must still be inside."

"Could it be...that you were worried about your son?"

On the corner of the block, Cruz hid behind her car with several other officers. She just happened to hear the comment about Charlie. "Yokas, this is a family matter. I want you off the scene."

Faith ignored her comment and turned back to the entrance of the school. What she saw shocked her.

"Or could it be that you were worried about your partner?"

There Bosco sat, his hands cuffed, with his own handcuffs, on a chair. His head was hanging on his chest, and he still had his hat on. The color started to turn black as blood seeped from his forehead and down his face.

"Oh my God, Bosco." Faith sobbed as she saw her partner. "Let him go! What does he have to do with this? It sounds like you just want me!"

"Oh, he has nothing and everything to do with this. He lost me twenty hostages, and he tried to save your son. Actually, wait a minute, he did." The man behind Bosco appeared. He was a middle-aged man, big and strong. "He likes you, you know. He was ready to die for you. I think he loves you Faith."

Faith's eyes started to well up with tears, "Please, let him go."

"You don't get it do you? You two, you did something to me...and now, now I'm going to do something to you." The man turned and dragged Bosco from the cops sight.
