Here is the very first story that I did. It is already posted at 3rdwatch.net,,,,but I was asked a long time ago to post here. I tried but had problems, so now I am trying again. This story is 15 chapters, plus an epilogue. I will post them one every three days. Please review, let me know....and know that this subject is 'out there' but I was a accurate as I could be. This is my attempt to 'bring out' the nuances of Bosco, so that others can 'see' him as I do. Ed created a very complicated character in him, and here is my take on it. (no I don't think he really has this problem,,,,just used it to 'show' the sides of him. LOL) Hope you like it....please remember...it was my first...LOL

Malinda4242 Oh yeah, I don't own the Third Watch folk, just everyone else! LOL Thank you Ed Bernero for creating Maurice Louis Boscorelli, and Jason Wiles for bringing him to life! You guys ROCK!!!

Bosco, Maurice, and Moe: The Three of Me that Be

Chapter 1

Mercy Hospital Psychiatric Ward:

"TURN ON THE DAMN LIGHT JAGOFF!!! DO YOU HEAR ME MR. DR. MAN? I SAID TURN ON THE DAMN LIGHT!!!"

Bosco was getting seriously pissed now, here he was stuck here in this room because these two mokes couldn't keep their mouths shut!

'How many times have I told them to keep quiet when other people were around? Huh? How many times? Dammitt!'

"I'M TELLING YOU IF THIS KID PISSES ON ME, I AM GOING TO BE PISSED OFF, AND YOU DON'T WANT ME PISSED OFF!!! ARE YOU LISTENING!!! I KNOW YOU'RE LISTENING OUT THERE!!!" he screamed at the window of the room he was in.

He knew they were out there, why wouldn't they turn on the light? Bosco couldn't stand much more of this child crying and screaming. He felt like his head would split right open.

Suddenly a child's voice was heard, "Boscoooooo make them turn on the light!!!! The monsters are going to get meeee!!!!"

The child sobbed, then began to scream once more, then, just as suddenly as it had started, the screaming stopped.

Then another voice, this one calm, spoke up, "If you would just calm down Maurice, they would turn the light on...and Bosco....threaten them all you will but it will not do any good. They are testing us to see if we will crack, or at the very least perform for them. Why do you give them the satisfaction?"

This was the voice of a very reasonable man, an educated man if you will.

"Shut the hell up MOE! Did I ask your opinion? If you two jerks would have kept your traps shut when I told you to, we wouldn't be here to BEGIN WITH!" yelled Bosco, then, 'NOW TURN ON THE FRIGGING LIGHT!"

Dr. Jedson stood looking throught the one way mirror, watching his patient. His ONE patient.

This was one of the saddest cases he'd seen in a long time.

The man before him, was a dedicated and decorated police officer. But he knew by looking at his police medical jacket for the last few days, that he was also very ill.

'If only I would have been his Doctor, instead of him getting 'just some counseling' he thought, 'he might not be here now.'

He turned his attention to the two women standing at his sides.

Bosco's mother Rose Boscorelli was standing to his left, Mr. Boscorelli's partner Officer Faith Yokas, to his left.

The horrified looks on their faces told him that he was finally getting through to them the seriousness of this illness, but had still not told them exactly what it was. 'Just wish it would be as easy to convince my patient,' he thought.

Rose was very pale, Dr. Jedson asked, "Do you want to sit down?"

"No, I'm fine," Rose replied softly. She wasn't but she was too shocked by what she was seeing or, as it was really to dim to see him that well; hearing, to move.

"The voices, Dr., that child's voice is Maurice when he was little," she said hesitantly.

"Really," Dr. Jedson asked, "Does it just 'sound' like him...or?"

"NO, that IS him," Rose replied, "That's what he sounded like when his father..." Rose trailed off.

"His father what, Rose," the Dr. spoke gently to her.

Rose looked over at Faith, to see her staring back at her in complete shock, then glanced back at Dr. Jedson, "locked him in his closet. He would talk Maurice into letting him into the bedroom window, so that he could...beat me up....after I kicked him out," Rose took a deep shuddering breath, continuing, "He would lock him in, then he would tell him that if he made a sound, the Monsters would come to get him and Mikey. Mikey is my youngest son."

Rose was speaking in a very low voice, she felt so ashamed of what she had not stopped so long ago.

"I didn't realize what was going on with the boys. He would let them out before he left. He told them not to tell me, or he would send the monsters himself. Maurice never told me, but one day Mikey did," Rose paused a moment, taking another deep breath, glancing over at Faith.

Faith was looking at her like she would be sick, Rose quickly turned back to the window.

She continued, her voice trembling, "I had the locks changed immediatly, and then I put a lock on Maurice's window, and hid the key. He was such a sweet, guillible child. He loved his Daddy, so, he couldn't have said no to him. After it stopped, Maurice would have nightmares, and that 'voice' is what he sounded like. Always begging me to turn on the light, so that the monsters wouldn't get him. He still can't sleep with the window open, or even unlocked."

As Rose paused, "What about the other one? The calm one, Rose?" Dr. Jedson questioned her.

"No, I haven't really heard him before, I mean, he sounds like Maurice, but then so does the other one, I'm not sure what I'm hearing, I mean, Maurice isn't always yelling, but..."Rose broke down sobbing, "How could I let this happen to him!"

Dr. Jedson put his hand on her shoulder, "You couldn't have know Rose, you were in a terrible situation, I'm sure you did the best you could."

"Not good enough though," she cried out, "DID I DO THIS TO HIM?"

Rose felt like she were underwater, "This can't be happening! Not to Maurice! He's such a good person!"

"No, Rose, YOU didn't," Faith finally spoke up, "his BASTARD of a father did this to him!"

Faith couldn't keep quiet any longer, "Dr. I don't understand. Exactly what is going on and would you PLEASE turn that damn light on for them, I mean HIM!"

She was hanging by a thread here, and the THREE voices coming out of her ONE partner and friend, were seriously starting to freak her out.

"Of course," Dr. Jedson replied, turning on the light inside the observation room, "I don't mean to hurt him. Or you, but you both needed to see what the reality of his situation is," he paused, looking for the right words.

"Dr. are you saying that he is 'bipolor' or something, because this is seriously wierd stuff here. I mean yeah, Bos can be real moody, but come on!"

Dr. Jedson stood looking at Faith a moment before he spoke again, as if weighing how best to explain it.

Faith was ready to scream by the time he did.

"No, he is not bipolar. He is a multiple personality."

Rose cried out, sitting down hard in the chair offered earlier. Faith started laughing hysterically.

"This had better be one of his stupid jokes," she laughed, "Cause if it isn't...." then seeing the serious look on Dr. Jedson's face, didn't change, "Come on Doc, what's the punch line, HUH?"

She stopped laughing when his expression didn't change, and in fact became saddened by her denial.

Faith then turned to the window, looking in at Bosco. He was sitting on the bed, quiet, no longer yelling, but he was talking to someone. As she watched, she realized that as he 'alternated' between the voices, his face and mannerisms changed almost completely.

"Oh Bosco," she cried softly, "what did he do to you?"

And then Faith started to cry for real.

TBC..... I have more.....
