Transition Chapter between Vacation-Return to Home and Reality

Blurring the Lines of Reality

Sully and Ty were waiting aways down the corridor to the office upon hearing the gunshot they looked at each other and nodding, began moving towards the office. Stopping when they saw Faith lying there, Sully dropped down and crawled to her, as Ty hung back slightly, "Faith," he whispered, "where is he?"

She moved her head slightly, opening her eyes, "He's inside with them, I think he mangaged to get her into the other room, I heard a door slam," she too was whispering, then moving back as quickly as he could, Sully rejoined Ty.

Nodding to him, they moved to the wall against the office and crept along with their backs against the wall to get closer to the doorway. Reaching it, pressing back tightly against the wall they stopped as they heard the two men coming out. In the dark in their dark clothes, the men missed seeing Sully and Ty waiting for them. As they moved to intercept the cops that they expected to be coming after Boscorelli; Ty and Sully waited for them to pass and then stepped away from the wall, each of them taking one of the guys out with a blow to the head, and grabbing them as they fell preventing them from hitting the floor or wall and preventing any noise hopefully from reaching Vance back in the office.

Dragging them out of sight, and cuffing them with ties, and gagging them, they then returned to Faith, creeping to her as she watched them, Sully asked her, "How you doing?"

"Just fine, considering blanks do hurt," she was kinda pissed, she was closer than planned when he'd fired, but she was not hurt.

"Think he'll notice you move yet?" Ty whispered glancing at the door.

"Can't tell," she replied as she herself tried to see without giving away that she 'wasn't dead.

"Okay, well just stay there then," he whispered again to her, "let me see." Nodding, she watched them move closer to the door and saw Ty take out a mirror and use it to peek around the doorway. He made a hand signal to Sully and to Faith to let them know that Vance was no longer in the room.

They could hear Bosco, he was yelling at Jamie again and she was crying, then she was screaming and they could hear him 'hitting; her.

Faith knew it was suppose to be fake but it sure sounded real, it made her stomach turn to hear it and from the looks on the other two's faces they felt the same way.

Vance was trying to get the harddrive to boot up but it was useless, everytime he tried to bring up a screen it ate more of the memory, "Son of a bitch, you little bastard...screw with me will you," he snarled as he slammed his hand against the tower he'd slapped it into as soon as he could get to it. In a rage he charged out of the office and stormed over to the 'bed' room, flinging open the door it slammed against the wall, then he stood in shock as he realized he'd been had...

Maurice was standing in front of Jamie, fully clothed still, as was she, her gown as intact as it was when they entered. Not being a 'totally' stupid criminal, he'd grabbed his gun out of his belt before entering, and before Maurice could react and held it cocked in front of him, "You're good, I'll give you that, Maurice. Or is it Bosco, or how about Louis? Maybe I should 'play' with you like I did on that plane? Would that make Maurice my 'little' playmate come out to play with me," then at the look of confusion on Jamie's face, he said, "What? Didn't he tell you what happened? He flipped out, turned into a five year old," then at the look of rage on Maurices face he laughed, "You didn't tell her did you?"

Jamie kept silent, but gripped Maurices shirt to let him know to stay still, not to let Vance antagonize him into action.

"Come on Maurice, come out to play," he was talking like a bully teasing a child will do, "Vance wants to give it to you like he did on the plane! Maurice, come on, will you scream for me again?"

Jamie felt Maurice trembling in rage, and she was afraid of what he might do, she whispered to him as she stood sheltered behind him, "Please, Moe don't let him do this to you."

But he wasn't listening, he was watching Vance and then, "Come out come out where ever you are, Maurice come out!" As Vance sing songed, his evil voice grated on Maurices nerves, and suddenly he charged him blindly.

Sully and Ty watching, now from inside the office could do nothing, Vance had not been in their sight, but they could see Bosco and Jamie.

Faith kneeling down next to CJ who was trying get up, yelled out, "Bosco, NOOOO!"

Jamie was screaming, as Maurice and Vance were locked now in a death struggle, but neither were fighting over the gun. This time it was for real, this time it was for keeps.

One of them was not leaving this room alive, and both intended it to be the other one.

Ty and Sully reached the room at the same time, Faith immediately after, she moved to Jamie while the men tried to separate Bosco and Vance, with little success. Faith pulled Jamie out of the room, telling her that CJ needed help, but mostly to get her out of harms way as Vance still had the gun.

Bosco and Vance had fallen to the floor and Sully and Ty were still trying to separate them; both of the battling men, with Vance out weighing Bosco by a good fifty pounds, and taller by at least seven inches had the other by the throat and neither was letting go. Sully nor Ty could break their grips.

There was so much hatred in Bosco then that he was blind with it, for what Vance had done to CJ and him in Louisiana, the bayou; starvation, the injury, the hospital, for what he had done to Jamie, for what he had done to Maurice on that fucking plane, and for what he had caused him to go through in that penthouse. But mostly for what he made him feel now, causing him to lose Jamie, and for CJ being hurt, maybe dying, and finally...for daring to touch Jamie at all. He had a thousand reasons for killing Vance, and he was going to make him feel every last damn one before he died. That's when he suddenly just let go and allowed Ty to pull him off. Sully had Vance in a bear hug as Vance came up off of the floor, keeping him now at bay.

Bosco became very calm, he was breathing like he'd run a race, they all were, but he took a deep breath and said dangerously calm, "I need your handcuffs," looking to both Sully and to Ty who had moved to help Sully with Vance.

They glanced at each other, then as they hesitated because they knew he had his on him, he said, "Now," very quietly, adding, "get Faiths too, then cuff him to that chair; and leave." Moe never took his eyes off of Vance while he was telling them to do this.

Sully and Ty again exchanged looks then Ty said with a casual shrug, "You got it Bosco."

They hauled Vance out to the office as Bosco went and stood over CJ a moment before he squatted down next to him speaking gently, "Hey parder, these guys are gonna get you out of here, okay," then looking at Jamie, added, "Jimmy, Doc and Kim will be waiting for you. Make sure they take care of him, okay?"

Jamie started crying when she saw the look in his eyes, as his face got hard as he watched her tears, his eyes harder, and as she reached out to him, to stop him Moe quickly stood and moved away from her, turning from them both.

Faith watching him cautiously now asked suspiciously, "Bosco, what are you doing?"

Himself watching while Sully and Ty handcuffed a frightened and fighting Vance to the chair that CJ had been in Moe ignored her question, then when she asked it again louder, "Bosco, WHAT ARE you Doing!?"

He turned to her, his voice hard and harsh, "Take Jamie and go with Ty and Sully, help them with CJ and by god Faith don't you dare argue with me or come back down here, now GO!"

She stood in shock at his tone and at the coldness in his face as he turned back to Vance, she started to argue anyway but Ty stepped in front of her, "Faith, don't," he said quietly, "you know you can't stop this, hell, you know you don't even want to." He stood in front of her looking down with her looking up at him.

Then taking a ragged breath she nodded before she helped them pick CJ up and as Sully and Ty balanced him between them to carefully carry him out, Faith took Jamie by the arm and led her from the office.

"CLOSE THE DOOR!" Bosco yelled back at them as they left, never taking his eyes from Vance.

The women stopped a moment then, looking back but ignoring Vances pleas for them not to leave him alone with Boscorelli, Jamie reached out and closed the door behind her, speaking before she did so while looking Vance right in the eye, "Make him scream; for CJ" then glancing at Moe, "and for Maurice," then as he moved toward Vance, removing his knife from his pocket, and opening the blade; she closed the door with a soft bang.

Vance was screaming in terror and pain before they even reached the end of the corridor where the platform began.
