As Bosco and Faith walked out of the café and onto the sidewalk a man came bowling into them. From the impact and not being ready to take the blow, both officers fell down to the ground. The man tumbled to the ground as well, flipping over them and rolling. The man was holding a purse and he sat there a little dazed, as Bosco and Faith were doing. The guy looked behind him to see he had done the worse case scenario, he had knocked over two cops who did not look one Iota pleased. Faith was holding her chest in pain, the man had hit right in her sore part. She tried to get up, but her legs were all doughy and she just could not put her full weight on them. Bosco jumped up when the man started to get up and began to run away, and without the purse he had stolen. But Boz didn't start pursuing. He looked down at his partner whose face was scrunched up in pain. He put out his hand. She waved it off and with pain in her voice she yelled, "Get the bastard Boz." Bosco hesitated for a second, then turned around and began to run after the suspect. Faith sat on the pavement, clutching the pain that would not go away, the pain that caused her to have tears sprinkled in her eyes. She felt a guy behind her, helping her stand up and with his support she was able to make it to the squad car. The pain was beginning to die down, all was left was a throb to remind her she wasn't completely healed just yet. She thanked the man who in return said "No thank you." He walked away, with the woman who had her purse back. She glanced down the street to see her partner walking back, empty handed. He shook his head and walked up to her. "Are you okay?" Faith had been sitting with the door propped open, her feet planted on the sidewalk and her sitting with her elbows on her knees, trying to concentrate on the discomfort near her chest area. "I'm fine Boz." She swung her feet into the car and shut the door. Bosco had not said to Faith that when he had gone around the corner that he had stopped. He could still see the guy running up the block and then turn around for a second to see if the officer was still pursuing him. Only Bosco stood there, watching him get further and further away. He really didn't care that he was getting away. What he did care about was that the man had run into her, knocked her and himself down and ended up causing pain from his partner. Only something was bugging him as he stood there catching his breath. Faith had cried out in pain and when he had left her she was still holding and protecting her chest. It didn't take any rocket scientist to figure out that women don't like being hit in their breast, just that women cry out in pain and then they get back up ready to kick the guys ass who had hurt them. Faith didn't, her eyes were filled with hurtful agony and that guy had hit something that was not supposed to take blows to just yet. Faith was a strong girl. Boz has always known that. But she was hiding something from him, something he should know about, and his instinct was telling him something was up. Bosco figured it was enough time he had been gone, to make It appear he had been following the suspect this entire time. He began to walk back, seeing Faith sitting there half in and half out of the car. He tried to come up with something to start the conversation so he tried the usual approach. "Are you okay?" Faith looked up to see the worry look on her partners face. She knew she was busted, there was no longer hiding the fact. She prayed that maybe he hadn't really noticed. So as she swung her feet into the car she said before closing the door "I'm fine." Bosco didn't move from his spot, just looking in the car at her sitting there. Her prayer was going unnoticed, cause the look on his face was telling her, he knew something was wrong with her. He got into the car, not saying a word. He put the key into the ignition and started it but he did not put into drive. Bosco just sat there, staring out the window. Faith shifted uncomfortably in the seat. She felt someone's eyes on her. Her head came up slowly to look over at Bosco. It was he who was staring at her, trying to come up with a solution for the problem that was going on in his mind. "This whole entire time cause I let Davis put it in my mind that you were cheating on Fred." Bosco let out a laugh. "But that is not what it is, it's something worse then cheating and lying to your partner." He looked away for a second, watched a pacing car and then looked back at her. "What are you hiding from me Faith, what have you gone that makes you so desperate that you would tell me you are taking your kids to Atlantic City and so forth." Faith shook her head and then refused to look at her partner, Boscorelli. "You wouldn't understand." "Try me Faith, just try me." Faith Yokas closed her eyes. She was cornered. There was no where to run. She had to tell him the truth. He was confronting her and she had to tell him. "A couple months ago my doctor found a lump in one of my breasts. It was a good chance it wasn't anything, but there was a slight possibility it could be breast cancer. That first day I left you with the rookie was the day I had gone to get it out of me, to have surgery. They told me it was clear, it wasn't cancer. Said I could still be doing my job all I would be was a little sore. That is, that is all it was." When Faith was done telling Bosco the story she looked over at him. She swallowed hard. In his face she saw heart broken and absolute furious anger behind his eyes. He looked away. He threw the car into drive and he pealed away from the sidewalk. Faith had known Bosco long enough when he was angry and pained with confusion he drove more erratically, pushing the engine and the car itself to the limit. So before they both ended up getting into a car crash she tried to talk to him. "Boz. Come on Boz don't ignore me. Bosco." When she talked to him, all that cause was him to press the foot pedal harder. Faith could hear the engine shift into another drive. She decided not to say anymore, just to sit there and let him think it through. He stopped the car at the Precinct. Faith looked at her watch, not even realizing their shift was over. Bosco not saying a word, jumped out of the car and walked fast into the police building. When she finally got her ass into gear and walked into the locker room he was almost done getting dressed. She saw Davis and Sully give looks when she walked in. They must know from Boz not saying a single word, they were fighting. He slammed his locker hard, shattering the silence. Bosco walked out of the locker room. Faith bit her lip and then ran after him. She got out to the parking lot in time to see him getting into his car. She ran fast, hoping he wouldn't speed off before she got there. Faith pounded the window with her fist, getting his attention. He looked at her and then turned up his music and then threw it into reverse. Bosco rolled down the window. "Guess I don't understand." He didn't roll up the window as he just placed it into gear and then having his foot on the brake made the tires spin fast while he reved the engine. He gave a mad twisted smile and then took his foot off the brake and the car screamed out of the parking lot. She looked around to see some of the police officers looking at the car that had taken off so quickly. Nobody made a step towards his or her cars. They knew the blue car that had taken off angrily and they really didn't want to have to deal with the wrath of Maurice Boscorelli.
