A few weeks later,

"Bosco, are you sure that you are ready to go back to work?" asked Faith, concerned.

"Faith, I'm fine, you aren't my mother," said Bosco, as they walked to their squad car.

"Bosco, I just care about you, I don't want anything to happen to you," Bosco turned around, and looked at Faith. "Rick is in jail for a very long time, and he can never hurt you or me ever again. Faith knew that Bosco was right, and that Rick could never hurt them ever again.

"Come on, let's get to work," said Faith as she got into their car, and went to start their shift.

***

Later that day at the end of their shift,

Bosco was opening his locker when Ty entered the room.

"It's great to have you back,"

"Yeah," said Bosco as he shut his locker, and left the room. Someone then bumped into him. "Watch where you're going!" said Bosco as he looked up and saw that it was Faith. "Oh, sorry,"

"Fine, well goodnight Bosco, its great working with you, I was getting sick working with the rookie,"

"Really? Was it that bad?" asked Bosco as they started to walk outside.

"You don't know the beginning of it," laughed Faith as she went to her car.

"Bosco," she said. Bosco turned around." Yeah," he said softly.

"I never did thank you for going after Rick, it was stupid, but thank you,"

"I would do it again if I had to," said Bosco softly. "You don't have any other guys from high school that are secretly in love with you do you?"

"No," laughed Faith." I'll see you tomorrow," she said as she got into her car, and drove off.

When Faith got home, Fred was there waiting for her." Hey," she said as she took her jacket off.

"How was work?" he asked. "It was okay, I rode with Bosco again today. Fred looked at Faith with this annoyed look on his face. "What," she asked, confused.

"Why do you always have to talk about Bosco?" asked Fred irritated. Faith looked at Fred," He is my partner, I'm sorry that I like talking about my work," said Faith as she got up from the couch, and started to walk away.

"Faith, I'm sorry," said Fred as he went up to her. " I know you've been through a lot lately, I shouldn't have shouted  at you like that," Faith couldn't believe how differently Fred had been since their ordeal, it was like he was a different man. Faith smiled." What? said Fred.

"I was just thinking how lucky I am, Rick tried to destroy us, but…" said Faith as tears starting to run down her face.  

"Faith, shhh, don't think about him anymore, he is out of our lives forever." said Fred as he put his arms around Faith. "I know," she said softly, as she tried to put Rick's face out of her mind.

"Mom," said Charlie, who was peering through his door.

"Yeah," said Faith as she went up to her son. "What's wrong?" she asked, as her and Charlie sat down on the couch. "I had a nightmare, these monsters were chasing me, I'm scared," he said as he hugged his mom. "Its okay, the monsters are gone," For everybody," thought Faith to herself. Faith then looked and saw that Charlie was fast asleep, so she gently picked him up and put him back into his room.
