A/N : First of all, this is my first fanfiction. So I wait for your replies with big interest ! I'm also french so I'm sorry for my poor english. Enjoy and let me know what you think about my story.
Faith is nervous. This is her first day back. She didn't tell anyone that she's coming back. She didn't want to face Cruz because she knows that she will be extremely angry at her and will punched her in the face. And she knows she can't do that because she would lost her job and Cruz would win.
She didn't want to face Bosco either because she doesn't know if she can still trust him or not. « It would take time »
Faith open the front door and see Lieutenant Swersky chatting with a new Sergeant..Faith doesn't know him but she sure admit that he's very very good looking. She goes to the desk waving at Swersky.
« Hey Faith ! It's good to see you. How are you doing ? » Swersky asked.
« Hey Lieu ! I'm doing fine. And you ? » Faith said.
« Same old. Euh..Faith this is Sergeant Michael Giacomo. He's the new patrol sergeant. Sergeant this is Officer Faith Yokas she's one of my best officers. » Swersky said smiling.
« Nice to meet you Officer. I heard you were recovering. I hope you made a good recovering and that you're feeling well and ready to work. I can't wait to work with you. » Giacomo, smile, said looking at her up and down carefully. « Damn she's beautiful...no Mike you can't. Remember you're a Sergeant now..her patrol Sergeant. »
« Nice to meet you too Sergeant Giacomo. Yeah I'm ready to work. I kind of miss it ! » Faith smile at him.
At that moment Sully and Ty came in the lobby and saw Faith talking with Giacomo. They're surprised to see her there but happy to see her on her feet and smiling.
« Hey Faith !! It's good to see you back ! » Ty said and hugged her.
« Yeah Faith..you have no idea how much we missed you especially when I need some adult conversation because with Ty you know.. » Sully said and hugged her as well.
« Hey watch it man !! » Ty said laughting.
« Hey guys. I missed you all too. I can't wait to be on the beat. So we must as well get changed or our Sarge and Lieu will have our butt ! » Faith replied with a grin.
« Yeah you must be right for Sullivan and Davis butts but you have the right to be late on your first day back Faith. » Swersky said with the same grin.
Faith, Ty and Sully get upstairs get changed leaving Lieu and Giacomo talking about the arrangements of the shift.
Meanwhile outside the 55th Bosco and Doherty were arguing again for the park place.
« Move it Boscorelli. I was there first !! » Jimmy yelled with his finger pointing at Bosco.
« Yeah make me Buckethead ! » Bosco yelled in Jimmy's face.
Looking at them, Kim sighed and said to D.K : « This is amazing. There is an another place just in front of the firehouse and they still are arguing for this place. »
D.K laughed and replied « Yeah I don't know what you see in this guy ». And go back in the firehouse with Kim looking at him with narrow eyes.
« Call the cops ! » Bosco replied with a huge grin and goes to the house. « Damn now I'm gonna be late because of this jagoff »
Bosco run up the stairs and open the door. Bosco froze. He just stood there at the doorway and blinked his eyes. « No. She can't be there. Lieu would have tell me that she was coming back. She changed. She's more skinny and she changes her haircut. Okay Boscorelli one foot in front of the other. You can do it. Should I tell her 'hey' or just past her »
« Move it Boscorelli ! I'm not gonna be late because of you !! » Cruz yelled and pushed him inside.
Faith recognized this voice and turn around seeing Bosco pushed by Cruz. Cruz froze just a moment and get to her locker avoiding a very angry look from Faith.
Bosco with his head down goes to his locker and open it. « Please somebody shoot me » Faith stood by her locker already changed into her uniform and still looking at the man she always called her partner. « He doesn't even say 'hi'. Guess I can't blame him but still it hurts. He looks old and tired. »
Sully and Ty knew that it was hard for both of them and decided not to say anything. Faith closed her locker and headed to the roll call room with Sully and Ty behind her.
Bosco sighed and sit down in the bench with his head between his hands. « She's mad. Mad at me. Of course why shouldn't she be ? You got her hurt and she was paralyzed. Some partner. I missed her. I missed being her partner. Yeah right like I'm gonna ride with her again...she would shoot Swersky if he get us back together in the same car. » He get up and headed slowly to the roll call room.
Roll call room :
Giacomo entered in the room and goes to the front desk.
« Okay first of all, Welcome Back to Officer Yokas ! Officer Yokas you will be riding with Officer Davis today in 55 David and Officer Sullivan you're with Boscorelli in 55 Charlie because Officer Monroe get to work with Anti Crime today. So…there is a rapist in the streets officers. Like you could see on this description..he's considered dangereous. So get him. Be carefull out there officers. Daniels stay back ! » Giacomo said and headed to his office with Daniels behind him.
« He's in trouble man ! » an officer said laughting with others.
Ty goes to Faith and tell her he'll get the radios and leave. Sullivan does the same with Bosco, who we can tell by his look, is not happy to ride with Sully.
Sully tried to be nice with Bosco understanding that he's choked by Faith's return.
« So..euh…you okay ? » Sully asked looking Bosco carefully.
« Mind your own business Sullivan » Bosco replied with an angry look.
« Come on Bosco…you better talk about it before you exploded ! » Sully said softly but with sarcasm.
« What do you want me to say !! Huh ! She hates me. She doesn't even look at me in the eyes. It's hurts, you know, to be there in the same room and not talking with her. And seeing her riding with Davis in my car. She's my partner, my best friend not his !!..Sorry Sul I shouldn't have. » Bosco turn to look out the window. « Now I'm gonna cry with Sullivan in the car. Well no I'm not allowed to cry because it's all my fault. I should have listen to her when she warned about Cruz but no I have to think with the wrong head again. »
Meanwhile in 55 David :
« So how you're doing ? How are the kids and Fred ? » Ty said trying to get her mind away from Bosco.
« Well..euh.. » « Damnit he had to ask about the Bastard » « Well..The kids are great. Emily is doing well at school and Charlie too…and he's in the basket team of his school. And Fred I'm sure he's damn happy now that he can be with an homemade woman instead of a working wife. » Faith replied with tears in her eyes looking outside.
« Oh shit ! » Davis thinks with wide eyes. « I'm sorry Faith. I didn't mean to..I'm very sorry ! If you want I could kick his ass in the minute ! » Ty said touching her shoulder.
Faith turn around looking at him. « Thanks Davis. I'm sorry to dump my stuff on you. It's just that…yesterday the divorce has been finalized and that Fred told me that he asked for full custody. Can you believe it ?! He cheated on me and after that he's trying to get my kids away from me. And today my partner..excuse me ex-partner doesn't even look at me or talk to me just to say hi !...Sorry I shouldn't have snapped at you Ty. » Faith sait wiping her eyes.
« Don't apoligize Faith. I understand. Let's go get some coffee ok ? »
« Alright. Thanks again Davis !! » Faith said with a smile.
At the end of the shift in the locker room :
Sergeant Giacomo open the door. « Officer Yokas can I talk to you in my office please ? » he said with a smile.
« Sure Sarge. » Faith replied closing her locker and headed to his office.
Bosco, who was changing in his civies, look at her leaving the room and turn his head toward Davis. « So euh how is she ? » he said softly to Ty.
« Not so well.. » Ty starting his reply with his head down.
« Why ? What's going on ? She's hurting ? Is it her back or what ? WHAT DAVIS !! » Bosco asked fast.
« No no she's not hurt physically man..that's not my place Bosco. She'll tell you when she's ready. » Ty said and leave the room with a Bosco confused.
« Dammit Davis come back or I swear I'll hurt you man !! » Bosco yelled but didn't ran after Davis. « What does he mean not physically..shit..I'm sure it's because of me..maybe I should transfer ? » Taking his bag he leaves the room with a sad look on his face.
In Sergeant Giacomo's office :
« Please take a seat Officer. » Giacomo said taking a sip of his coffee.
« Thank you Sergeant. » Faith replied
« I'm sure you're wondering why I asked you to come to my office. » Faith nodded. « Well I wanted to ask you if you wanted to work with me. Sure you will do the same work that you already do but with more responsabilities. I already asked Lieutenant Swersky if he was okay with it and he approuved. So I need your start and we will working tomorrow together. » Giacomo asked softly.
« Well..why choose me ? You don't know how is my work ? » Faith asked in return looking at him very closely. « Very good looking »
« I chose you because Swersky told me that you were seriously involved in your work and that you had a record in the sergeant exam. I see you tried to take it ? » Giacomo looking at Faith who was getting nervous because she reminded that night when Bosco cried in her arms because of 9/11.
« Well yes I tried it and failed it too. » she said with a nervous smile
« Well don't worry about that. I had to pass it a second time, you know ?! But this is between you and me Officer. » Giacomo said with a warming smile.
« So..euh..okay I will work with you Sergeant. »
« Great. Now that you're going to work with me call me Michael or Sarge if you prefer. »
« Alright Sarge only if you call me Faith or Yokas if you prefer. » Faith responded with a grin.
Giacomo grinned back. « Okay Yokas ! So I'll see you tomorrow. Have a good night. »
« You too Sarge » Faith replied and leave the room.
Outside the police station :
Bosco stood outside waiting for Faith. « What the hell wants Giacomo ?! damn it's late. »
At the same time Faith appeared at the end of the stairs. Bosco stared at her and began to move forward.
« Faith ? » Bosco said softly.
Faith turn around and stare at him. « Bosco. What do you want ? » she responded coldly. It wasn't her intentions but she couldn't help it.
Bosco winced at her tone. « Euh..nothing. Sorry if I bothered you. » he replied starting to walk away.
Faith glance at him for a moment and sighed. « Bosco ? Wait. I'm sorry I'm just tired. You wanted to talk to me ? »
Bosco stopped at the moment when she first said his name and turn around after she finished. He looked down. « Well..I..euh..I wanted to know how you were ? It's just that I didn't have the time to ask you.» Looking at her when he stopped talking.
« I'm fine. It's great to be back and work. You know feeling again usefull. Giacomo just told me that I was going to work with him. So I better go and get rest because I don't want him mad at me if I asleep on the job. Night Bosco. » Faith replied wanting no more to leave. She wasn't ready to talk to him because she feared she said something mean to him.
Bosco know by her answer that she didn't want to talk to him. But he became angry when she told him that she was going to work with Giacomo. He hated that guy since the first day the guy came in the House. Now he hated more because he stole his partner.
« You're gonna working with Sergeant Giacomo. Good luck ! He's a bastard. I don't know how he became sergeant. I wonder if he's Christopher relative because they're the same ! » Bosco snapped.
Faith is surprised to find anger in his voice. « Well he was very nice to me. He seems to be a good sergeant too and Swersky seems to trust him because he agreed to him for working with me. » she responded with sarcasm and a grin.
Bosco became more angry to see that she was defending the guy. But he regretted snapping at her. « Listen Faith I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap. I'm sorry. »
« It's ok. It's been a long day. Euh..I should go. It's late. » she replied finding her gloves in her pocket when Bosco saw her hand.
« Euh Faith I think Fred is not gonna be happy to see that you lost your wedding ring » Bosco sait nerviously hoping it's the reason that she didn't have it on her finger.
« I don't need it anymore. Don't worry about Fred…I'm divorced Bosco. » Faith responded with a glance.
Bosco didn't know what to say. He wanted to know what happened but he wasn't going to ask. « You know what happened. You get her shot that's what's happened. It's your own fault. You succeded Boscorelli you finally destroy her mariage by trowing your problems at her. »
Faith could see by the way Bosco frowned that he felt guilty so she decided to tell him the reason of her divorce.
« He cheated on me Bosco ! It's not your fault. Listen I really have to go. Bye Bosco ! » Faith replied and with a last glance at him she walked away leaving Bosco with a surprised look on his face.
Bosco couldn't believe his ears. « Cheated on her !!! The Bastard..wait Fredo you and me have to talk. »
The next day :
At the police station in roll call :
Swersky was talking with Giacomo beside him. « The rapist is still in the streets and made an another victim who hadn't identify yet. So be careful people. Eyes and ears. »
Faith goes to Giacomo and they walked out the room. Bosco looked at her and Giacomo and became angry. « I hate this guy » he didn't realize that he talked out loud.
« No I think he's not that bad. » replied Sasha.
« Yeah forgot what I said. But you know I don't care of your opinion since you liked working with sergeant Bitch. If you know what I mean ? » Bosco snapped at her with a very very angry look.
« If I remember you seems to love riding with her and much more » sasha said with sarcasm and a big grin. And she headed to the car.
Following her, Bosco saw Faith and Giacomo get in their car and ride away. He got a strange feeling in the stromach.
