Chapter: The Discovery
Disclaimer: I don't own Third Watch nor do I own any of the characters from the show. I'm just barrowing them for my own entertainment LOL. Please don't sue!
Pairing: Bosco/Faith friendship, possibly more. :)
A/N: This is my first Third Watch story. It is set after Bosco is released from the hospital, and after Faith has divorced Fred. I'm hoping that this story will be somewhat different than other stories out there. It is a Bosco/Faith friendship story, and maybe more. The first chapter may be a bit confusing, but just stick with me here... everything will be explained in the next chapter or so. This story mentions and describes adult and sexual situations. It's going to be a little on the dark side. Please review and let me know what you think of it.
The cold harsh winter wind blew over the snow covered landscape, as the snow was falling quickly to the grow. New York had always been known to get bad weather at this time of year, but this storm was extemely bad, even for the area. And right there in the middle of the storm, a fragile figure was walking into the storm. Her body was badly battered and bruised. She was covered with cuts and stratches, along with scars from old wounds that had healed over time. She was cold, so cold that her entire body was shaking. The constant stinging from the cold wracked her whole body. Still, she kept pushing on. A wrenching pain went through her stomach, as it started to growl. She hadn't eaten anything in days, possibly even a week. Trudging through the snow. She was very weak, more weak than she had ever been before in her life. Her will to keep going was strong. After everything that she had been through, all the hell that she had endured, she was finally free. But, no matter how determined she was to keep going, her body was giving out on her. Her steps started to become slower and slower. A numbness started to overtake her entire body. She could see a highway just up ahead, she could see houses, and lights. Using all of the strength that she could possibly muster, she kept going. Slowly, she got closer and closer. Until she had finally reached the side of the highway. "Come on, you have to keep going... it's almost over," She thought to herself. Sundenly, a wave of weakness washed over her body, everything started spinning, her aching legs gave out from under her, and that's when everything went black, just as she fell into the snowbank right beside the highway.
Several hours later, the warm morning sun began to shine down over the snow covered landscape. Despite the horrible storm that had come the night before, this day was looking like a nice warm one, at least for the time of year that it was. The traffic on the highway was very slow on this morning. A young man took advantage of the beautiful morning by taking a nice refreshing run in the brisk morning air. As he ran along the side of the barron highway, he spotted something laying in the snow bank. He stopped, deciding to take a closer look. As the young man got closer to the object, he was shocked to see that the form in the snow bank was in fact, a woman. He wasn't sure if she was dead or alive, but her cloths were all torn, and she looked so lifeless. Frightened by his startling discovery, the man reached into his pocket, pulling out his cell phone. His hands were shaking as he dialed 911.
"Hello 911, what's your emergency?"
"I... I was taking a run, and I just found a woman laying in the snow bank," said the man.
"Is she breathing?"
"I... I don't know, I don't think so. I can check," the young man said, as he slowly moved closer to the lifeless form that lay in the snow bank. "Oh my God, she is... she is breathing!" he exclaimed.
"What is your location, sir?"
The man quickly told the dispatcher where he was. He was trying to remain calm, but that was hard to do, considering what he had just discovered.
"We're sending help, right away. Can you stay at the location until the paramedics arrive at the scene?"
"Sure, yeah... I can wait," the man said.
It didn't take long at all for the paramedics to arrive at the scene. When they first saw the body laying in the snow, they thought that they had come far too late. They were very shocked to find that the woman was still alive, but barely. Her vitals were very weak, but they were there. Quickly, the paramedics loaded her into the bus, and rushed her to the Angel Of Mercy hospital. They still weren't sure that they would make it to the hospital with her in time, but they were sure going to give it their best shot.

Carlos and Kim were just leaving the hospital after transporting a victim of a heart attack, when they saw the paramedics rush in. The paramedics were quickly met by a doctor.
"What do we have here?" the doctor asked.
"A jogger found this woman laying in the snow bank, she's still alive, but her vitals are very weak. She is suffering from Hypothermia, and frostbite. She has visual external injuries. I have no idea how long she was out there," the paramedic explained.
"Do you have any an I.D. on her?" asked the doctor.
The paramedic shook his head. "No, I didn't find any form of identification on her,"
"Alright, we'll look through missing persons reports later," said the doctor.
With that, she wheeled the woman back to get treatment. She passed Carlos and Kim, who had been listening in on the conversation. Kim glanced at the patient, as she was being wheeled past her, and her mouth dropped open.
"Kim, what's wrong?" Carlos asked, in a concerned tone.
"Oh God, Carlos... I know that woman they just brought it!," Kim exclaimed.
"What?" Carlos asked, slightly confused. "Who is it, Kim?"
"Oh my God, it's...,"
To be continued...
