What up peeps! Here's chapter four!
_______________________________
"Are you serious?" My wife's voice spoke through the phone as I was talking to her after we got to the police station up in Manhattan. I had excused myself from Mia so I could call Riley and tell her the news.

"I'm telling you Riley, he just showed up and now he's our boss." I complained as she took a deep breath.

"Wow. How's Maya taking it all?" She asked as I could here our baby girl Kaylee cooing in the background.

"Saying that Maya was pissed is an understatement. Especially when he started making all kinds of different calls and splitting Maya and Farkle up." I responded awaiting the gasp that would come from Riley.

"He split her and Farkle up? Why would he do that, he knows how close they are when it comes to their job." She said in disbelief. I on the other hand knew Josh's intentions.

"I think that's exactly why he did it." I could just picture Riley tilting her head in confusion. I smiled at the thought.

"What do you mean? Josh never had a problem with Maya and Farkle's relationship before." She said.

"Well yeah but that's when Josh knew that Maya was in love with him and he thought they were going to last. Now it's been three years and thanks to you he knows that Maya could care less about him." I teased her not missing her scoff.

"Well excuse me for trying to back my best friend up." She argued.

"Over family?" I asked her seriously.

"Maya is family." She snapped. I smiled at the passion that theses two had for each other. I dare say that Riley loves Maya more than she loves me.

"Did he even mention anything to you about coming back to New York when he talked to you last?" I asked her. I mean him becoming our boss was so sudden, nobody saw it coming.

"The last time I talked to him was last week. The only thing he mentioned was that when he comes back to New York he was going to try to mend things with Maya and maybe try to give them another go." Riley spoke making me roll my eyes.

"Well he's definitely off to a good start." I said sarcastically making Riley giggle. Suddenly Kaylee started crying making my heart clench. "She being fussy today?" I asked as I felt bad for having to leave Riley and Kaylee all the time.

"Yeah. I think she misses you." Riley said in a frustrated tone. I smiled. Now that Kaylee was getting older she was starting to sense when my presence was missing.

"Give her a kiss for me." I said realizing that I needed to get off the phone before the rest of the team gets here. I could tell Riley was smiling.

"I will. Be carful and come back to us in one piece." She said.

"With a family like you guys how could I not." I said. We exchanged I love you's and hung up so I could get back to work. I headed back in to see Josh and Maya in a corner arguing with each other. I rolled my eyes as I headed towards Farkle and Zay who were standing in a corner watching them.

"This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to do our jobs if our boss
and our partner aren't getting along?" Zay asked shaking his head.

"I don't know. But somebody better tell them or else it's going to get one of us or them killed." Farkle answered making both me and Zay nod.

"And just how do we do that?" Zay asked again.

"We'll have to split them up. Josh and Maya need to be with other members of the team so that their personal feelings don't get in the way of anything." I answered. Farkle scoffed.

"Yeah good luck getting Romeo away from Juliet." He said which made Zay and I both chuckle.

"Guys lets go!" Mia yelled making all of our attention plus Josh and Maya turn towards Mia. I took this as my que to pull Josh aside and talk to him.

"You and Maya fighting like this isn't doing anything but hurting this team." Lucas said. Josh rolled his eyes.

"Look Lucas I respect you a lot. But let what's between Maya and I stay between Maya and I." Josh spoke trying to get by Lucas but Lucas stopped him.

"That's fine, but what you need to realize is that whatever is going on between you and Maya needs to stay outside of the office, Josh. It's going to get someone killed in the field." Lucas explained. Josh looked over at Zay and Farkle.

"You two feel the same way?" He asked watching as they both nodded their heads.

"Fine. From now on Maya stays with Lucas, Zay goes with me and Farkle can stay with Mia." Josh said making Farkle roll his eyes at the fact that Josh still wouldn't put Maya back with him. Josh walked away leaving the guys to them selves.

"Well at least their separated." Zay said as he watched the relief wash over Maya's face as Josh told her the new arrangement.

"And at least we know Josh is as serious about finding theses girls as we are." Lucas said as he watched every move that Josh made.

"You think he took this job just to get close to Maya?" Farkle asked genially curious as to what Lucas was thinking.

"I don't know. What I do know is that Josh is up to something when it comes to Maya and he's not doing a very good job of it. It just doesn't make sense that he would come back to this job knowing that Maya was apart of this team." Lucas said making Farkle nod his head in agreement.

"Why don't you guys leave them alone and let them figure their own stuff out." Zay said shrugging his shoulders.

"When you've known Maya for as long as I have it comes natural to want to protect her." Farkle said making Lucas nod.

"Farkle I get, but Lucas you and I met Maya at the same time." Zay said confused. Lucas smiled.

"Dude, I married her best friend. If I were to let Maya get hurt emotionally or physically, Riley would have my head on a stick." Lucas explained making both boys chuckle.

"Guys! Let's go we don't have all day." Josh said as he poked his head out of the meeting room. All three guys immediately put their game face on and went into the meeting room.
