Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I still don't own anything but here are a few who do, NBC, Warner Brothers and John Wells

Authors note: Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words :) I was incredibly nervous about ever posting this story. I had started writing it before the Olympics and had the first two chapters done but only now I had the nerve to post it. Now I'm really nervous about this chapter, I think I left the other one off at a bad place because now all you guys are all waiting for this one :) So I hope I didn't completely goof up and this chapter is ok. Please keep in mind that this is only my second fic and that I only started watching TW this season. So any history I may mess up just roll with it please :)

Feedback: Always wanted good or bad let me know what you think. and again if I should keep going with this.

"Oh man I didn't mean too. You have to believe me Mo!"

"What? What are you talking about? What are you doing here?"

"I...I heard a noise and I panicked"

"What do you mean? What did you do?!" He asked only now becoming fully aware of what Mikey was saying. He plunged at him knocking him down to the hard pavement. He grabbed his collar and started shaking him "What did you do?!"

Davis noticed what was going on and he tried to pull Bosco off of Mikey but it wasn't easy. Finally he succeeded and got Bosco off of him.

"Let me go man, I'm going to kill him!"

Still fighting Davis's hold on him he screamed. "You shot her didn't you? You little son of a bitch! For What? Your damn drugs!"

"It was an accident I...I didn't know it was her. I didn't mean to shoot her" Mikey said shakily

"You didn't mean to?! She's lying over there bleeding to death Mikey! She's dying! and it's suppose to be ok because you didn't mean to?!"

With strength he didn't know he had left he broke away form Davis and jumped on Mikey again. He threw a punch with his right that connected squarely with Mike's jaw.

"Tell me what happened! Now!" He said as he threw another punch.

"I...I"

"Now damn it! Every last detail. Tell me how you almost killed my partner" Bosco screamed.

"I was meeting some guys here"

"You doing the buying or selling?" He ground out angrily.

"I was selling some kids some stuff ....and I just finished when I heard this noise, I couldn't tell what it was and I panicked. I thought that it was maybe this guy thinking I was stepping on his territory again."

"So what you just turn around and shoot?!"

"He said he was going to kill me Mo if he ever saw me here again, I was scared. The last time he saw me here he beat me up pretty bad"

"Yeah well that's the least of your problems right now because if Faith dies I'll find you and I'll kill you myself!" He said shaking him and then throwing another punch, this one cutting open his lip. Mikes blood was leaking out of his lip and it was a comfort to Bosco. He hated that he felt good by hurting Mikey and making him bleed but then he thought of Faith lying a few feet away bleeding to death and he wanted to do even worse but he managed to control himself.

"He's lying" Said a scared quite voice.

"What?"

Gusler stood there with all the color drained out of him shaking. "He knew it was her....she.....she said his name before he pulled the trigger"

Bosco felt like he had been punched in the gut. It couldn't be, Mikey would never shoot Faith if he had known, right?

Gusler continued " We had seen the deal going down, It was him and four young people so Officer Yokas decided to call for back up because she didn't know if they would have weapons or anything. We stood over there beside the dumpster" with a shaky hand he pointed to a dumpster that wasn't to far away from where Faith still laid as Doc and Carlos were trying to stabilize her enough to be transported to the hospital. "We heard the muffled voices, then Officer Yo...Yokas swore under her breath, she said she knew the guy and that he shouldn't be a problem. She waited until the others left and then she stepped out from beside of the dumpster. She had told me to wait here. She....she put her gun back in it's holster and began to walk over to this guy."

Bosco was trying to process this, he looked over to Faith and sure enough her gun was in her holster, she hadn't even been armed. Why would she be so stupid to put her gun away when approaching a suspect? Then he remembered she knew it was Mikey, why would she worry? She was probably going to try and get him out of here before I showed up. She wasn't thrilled the last time I arrested him.

Gusler broke back into Bosco's thoughts "she had almost reached him when she must of stepped on something because I heard a cracking sound, like something breaking..... Then the rest happened so fast but yet it was kinda in slow motion. She....she had looked down to see what she stepped on I guess and she was doing that when this guy" he nodded over toward Mikey who still had Bosco on top of him. "He turned around and he already had his gun out and pointed at her. I called her to warn her as I drew mine, but I was too late" He said softly. "She...she looked up at him and I heard her say his name, she said his name just before he pulled the trigger. He heard her, I heard her." Gusler became quite as if he was scared to even say the next words "she....she flew back and landed on the ground blood was already flowing out of her, he dropped his gun and just stood there staring at her. Blood was all over in seconds and he just stood there!..... I called for the ambulance as I was running to her and I put pressure on the wound and then you and officer Davis showed up."

Bosco's mind was racing it was too much to handle, the fact that Faith had been shot and was dying. He looked over at her again and saw her ghostly pale body just lying there drenched in bright red blood. The life draining out of her. And it was his brother who did it. His own brother was the one responsible for taking her away from him. But it wasn't until he heard the next words did he go completely numb and the rest of his world slipped away.

" Doc! She's flat lining, I don't have a pulse!"
