Onto the story...

Chapter 7

Mikey was nervous all around. He was scared they would be caught, that somebody would notice Bosco was missing. Scared that Bosco would wake up in the back seat of his car and freak out and he was scared when he did get to the hospital what was going to happen next.

He gave thank to whatever was listening out there that Bosco had stayed unconscious for as long as he did so he didn't have to mess with him while he tripped out.

Almost home and without any problems it was only time before something would happen and with that thought running through Mikey's head he frowned because sure enough the problem raised. A tire blew on his car and he had to swerve to the side before colliding with any other motor vehicles on the road.

Getting out of the car he shook his head. Again thanking the heavens that he was in the city of New York because he didn't have a spare in the car and if they were out in the middle of know where there would have been no way to get home. But now he was in the city and now he had to figure out how to get his brother to the hospital because from what he knew they were still a good ways from one.

Spotting a payphone he looked at his brother who looked so peaceful in the back seat he raced over and then begin to debate on who to call. He first thought about his mother but Mikey scratched her off the list fearing she wouldn't think rational enough and would probably smack him around first before she even considered about getting Bosco to the ER. He then thought about Faith Yokas, Bosco's partner, but then he wasn't sure how to call his partner and say "Well I have Bosco with me, he drugged up and it's my fault he's that way."

Mikey scratched his chin and was going to give in and call Faith anyways when he heard his brothers yelps and screams and knowing he was full awake there was going to be no way to bring him in like that. So he did what he thought he should he called 911.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Your being quiet tonight."

Carlos shrugged. For once he actually didn't have anything to say this time. It was late and he was tired and the shift was almost over. So might as well keep quiet and wish for the time to speed up. That's until they came to a stop where the dispatch had told them somebody had called asking for some help.

"What the hell, is that who I think it is?" asked Carlos.

Doc studied the man who was standing in the middle of the street and looking up with mouth open and standing in awe. The crazed man looked straight at the ambulance and didn't see Carlos or him sitting there for he began to act as though he was rushing people away from whatever he was looking up at.

"That's....that's Bosco."

Carlos looked over at Doc and shook his head.

"What is he doing?"

"I don't know, but only one way to find out."

Both of the medics got out of the ambulance and began to walk up to who they believed to be Bosco. Neither of them was sure what to think of the man that stood in front of them. Normally Doc nor Carlos would see Bosco acting so strangely, they would see him being his normal hot-tempered self but from what they could tell he looked like he was on drugs.

"Bosco....can you hear me, do you know who I am?"

Doc tried to ask Bosco this but all Bosco was doing was still grabbing the air and directing people. He even grabbed at Carlos arm and began to drag him off the road and yelled for him to keep going down the street and not look back. Carlos looked at him blinked his eyes slowly, and then said 'okay' but then stood there.

"He doesn't know what's going on around him."

The medics looked at a guy who was sitting with arms crossed and using the car as a set.

"Who are you?"

"I'm his brother, Mikey Boscorelli."

Carlos looked from Bosco and then to Mikey.

"I didn't know Bosco had a brother."

"Well he does, and I'm the one who called you guys to help him. I know it's strange and I know you guys think he would be the last one, but....shit why I'm I telling you, just can you help my bro or not?"

Doc was still trying to get Bosco to stop what he was doing, standing in the middle of the road and making a scene.

Mikey rolled his eyes at Doc's attempts.

"Look man I told you, he doesn't know we're here. I think, no I'm pretty sure, he's reenacting things from the past, right now I think he, maybe on," Mikey's forehead wrinkled "I think that what Bosco is seeing is 9/11 all over again."

It made sense to them now. Made sense to why he had been looking up, why he was trying to get people to run down the street and not to look back. Why all of a sudden he was standing there the next he was running the opposite way and running like a bat out of hell away from them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Faith was sitting at her desk. She didn't know what to do. She wasn't sure if she should call Bosco's mother and tell her to file for a missing report, which she should had Angela done when the 24hours was up. Or to go back to Mikey's place and hassle him some more. Clicking her pen up and down she was stuck between those two thoughts until Sullivan walked up to her.

"Well I just got off the phone with the Arsonist Detective and they found what set the fire in Angela Boscorelli's home."

Faith looked up and waited for Sully to tell her.

"Well it appeared to be set by someone. The old fashion way, by pouring the entire wine and beer all over the place and then lighting the match and let it burn only thing they forgot the matches. Oddest thing because there they were; the Detective said sitting on the bar. Not a scorch on them, so now we have an arsonists on our hands."

As soon as Sullivan had finished what he had to say the phone rang on Faith Yokas's desk. It continued to ring until Sully realized she was not going to answer it so he picked up for her.

"Faith Yokas's desk this is Officer Sullivan how may I help you."

Sully's face matted into confusion as he listened to the other person on the phone. Faith stood up and stretched she was sick of sitting that she just needed to stand up. Walking out of the room to maybe go to the bathroom she stopped when she heard Sully's last words.

"Will be there as soon as we can Doc."

Faith turned around and looked at Sully.

"What is it?"

"Doc and Carlos got a call and,"

"Sully will you just tell me."

"They found Bosco, they're bringing him to Angel Mercy."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Nothing to do and having not seen Nick around, Joey went to a room where he could monitor everything. Most of the people that were normally here were either locked up because the cops had been coming down on them and their lawyers were getting them out, or they were doing their usual business. Joey could not care less so he walked into the surveillance room and looked at the many picture screens.

"Oh no."

When he looked at the screen where the small camera was placed up on the wall just in front of Bosco's room, he didn't see anything, as though the cop had never been there in the first place.

Rewinding the footage and then stopping it was a perfect shot of Mikey helping Bosco. He never thought that good for nothing brother would have the guts to even try to help out his older brother.

"Rick will love this one." said Joey as he hung his head down and shaking it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Both medics were nursing themselves. Carlos had a lip that was bleeding and scratches up and down his arm while Doc had a couple of bruises beginning to make themself known. They had successfully gotten Bosco into the ambulance and onto the stretcher but just because they was successful finally didn't mean they didn't have some complications.

When Bosco had begun to run down the street really fast, Doc had to give chase only the officer was much faster and had gotten far ahead. So Doc rode on the back of the bus as Carlos flew by. They finally reached Bosco who was still running and looked as though he wasn't going to give up any time soon. Doc tackled him to the ground and as he tried to keep him subdued Carlos came with the stretcher, Bosco got in some lucky punches when he flipped himself around.

Doc had resisted the urge to hit back, he had to keep telling himself he didn't know any better and he was just scared and didn't know what the hell was going on.

As Bosco began to wiggle out of his grasp from Doc, Carlos had showed up beside Doc and grabbed one of Bosco's flinging arms. Picking him up as Doc began to get up he didn't expect Bosco to hit him in the mouth with the other free arm and cause both of them to fall back as Carlos tripped from the blow.

Getting back up Doc grabbed once more onto Bosco's arm stood him up and then grabbed a hold of his dirty clothing and then tripped him on the stretcher that was lowered down.

"Thanks for the help asshole." yelled Carlos towards Mickey who had watched the entire scene unfold.

Carlos got up and walked over to the stretcher and began to help Doc secure Bosco to the frame of the bed. As they almost got Bosco's arms to his side he grabbed hold of Carlos arms and held on tight trying to wiggle his legs out of the restraints holding him down to the bed.

He stepped back and caused Bosco to scratch his arms as he tried to get away from the grasp of the officer. Doc grabbed both arms and then Carlos reached over and did the black strap and now the drugged officer couldn't do anything but move about trying to get lose.

Bosco wasn't even saying anything anymore only words that made no sense to the average normal person. They loaded him up in the back and breathed out long and drawn out tired breaths. They shut the doors when Mickey finally showed up. Carlos rolled his eyes and opened the doors for Mikey to jump in. Shutting it he glared at Mikey.

"Come on let's get Bosco to the hospital and we better call Faith."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"We kill him."

"What?"

Rick had come home as Nick and now Joey had told them about the absence of Bosco.

"Yeah, we tortured the family, now it's just time to kill them. It was fun while it lasted but their time is up, I mean come on Rick we already set fire to the their mothers home and somebody died who in I must remind you wasn't even their mother in the first place. So now it's time, they need to die, the lesson be set and so forth."

Rick was sitting in his chair and scratching his chin as Joey and Nick were standing in front of him. He looked down and then looked back up.

"Okay I agree with you Nick, let's go kill them," He chuckled.

Nick and Joey turned around.

"One more thing boys, I get to kill that cock sucker Mikey. You boys figure out which one you want to kill because I could careless."

Both of them nodded and walked out of Rick's officer. Nick then turned to Joey.

"You can kill the mother because your all soft I'll kill are favorite officer.....or wait, you to soft to even kill the mother?"

Joey just looked at him and Nick smiled walking away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Faith ran into the ER hoping to see Bosco yet he was nowhere in sight. She breathed in deeply realizing she must of missed them or she had beat them here.

"Faith, whatcha doing here?"

Turning she saw Procter standing there with a confused look.

"I'm looking for my partner I was told that Doc was bringing him in."

Procter not understanding why both of them were spilt in the first place but she looked down at a chart.

"No they haven't made it here yet."

Faith looked at the doors and hoped Bosco was okay.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"What did he take Mikey?" asked Carlos.

Mikey rolled his eyes.

"He, didn't "take" anything. He was given, get it straight you shit face."

"Kiss my ass, you know it's probably your fault that Bosco is that way because your...."

Doc reached and stopped Carlos from going in the back as he began to yell at Mikey from the back.

Carlos jerked from Doc's grasp and then turned his body so he was looking out the window. Doc looked back and asked with a calm voice, "We need to know what they give him, can you give me any clue?"

Mikey looked down at his brother. His brother was still trying to figure out his predicament and was still trying to get lose of the straps. From all the drugs he had seen and done he was pretty sure which one it was. He looked at the two medics who were up front.

"LSD....I think he was given LSD."

Both of the medics looked at each other.

"Are you sure?" asked Carlos.

"Yeah I'm sure you numb nuts."

Doc shot Carlos a glance before Carlos went back there.

"Call in the ER tell them we're bringing in a LSD case and might want some more arms when we transfer him to the other bed."

Carlos nodded.

Both medics hadn't ever seen a case but you always hear the stories of the LSD users. About the extra strength they can get out of the clear blue. Hearing how some of them would think they could fly and end up killing themselves because they jumped up from buildings, heights that would make anybody stand back and think anybody coming near that edge was nuts.

They caught each other's glances and held it for a second knowing what the other was thinking. It wasn't the fact it was LSD and somebody tripping out on it. It was the fact they knew this person, they knew Bosco and everybody who was anybody in the 55 Precinct area knew Bosco didn't like the druggies or the drugs. To see him strapped down, screaming like a banshee and to not know what was going on was depressing scene because neither of the medics knew how to handle this kind of situation.

"If we can help it, this doesn't get out."

Carlos shook his head in agreement. But Doc knew his partner, if given the half of chance to embarrass someone he would be spilling his to guts and making himself the hero. He let that slip by as they pulled up the hospital.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Faith was sitting in the room looking straight ahead yet she was just sitting there waiting and that is one thing she hated more then anything, waiting.

Sully walked into the Emergency Room. He walked to the desk and then was pointed to the waiting room in which he found the person he was looking for, Faith.

"Any word yet?"

Glancing up Faith saw Sullivan standing in front of her. She shook her head no and Sully took that as to sit down beside her. From where he sat he could tell she was nervous and just anxious to have Bosco back. Her hands were clenching the arms of the chair and she just stared at the wall in front of her.

"I'm sure he is fine Faith."

"What?"

"I said, I think Bosco will turn out to be just fine."

No sooner had he said that that is when she heard yelling coming from the outside doors.


Doc and Carlos flanked both sides of the gurney while Mikey walked a little ways behind as they wheeled Bosco into the ER. The yelling was coming from that of Bosco's vocal cords. He was thrashing, trying his best to loosen himself, he didn't know what was going on around him and it was beginning to frighten him. Screaming at his captors, Doc and Carlos to let him go but they just kept wheeling him in.


Faith stood up and rushed out of the room Sully following pursuit. Both officers stood there, watched as theor comrade that they knew all so well look nothing but a mere insane inmate that needed to be locked in a cell and never be released into society.

From where she stood Faith could see that the black straps strapped Bosco to the stretcher his entire body being immobilized not letting him move from his current position. She caught the red and dirty bandage gauge on his left arm she could tell it was seeping blood probably tearing it open trying to get loose. His entire body was dirty and ragged and, all and all, Faith thought he looked like he had been through hell and back and that made him appear like shit.

"What the hell is wrong with him?"

"I don't know Sully."

Wanting to be near her partner Faith began to walk towards him only before she could even make two full-fledge steps something happened. A terrible ripping sound could be heard, it echoed through the entire room making everybody stop what they were doing and turn to the group forming around the panicked officer.

It was a sound you knew but for some reason you couldn't place it no matter how much you wanted to and as everybody looked somebody broke the silence.

"Send help now and send it quick." called Proctor into the phone. She had watched everything from the desk and as she watched some of her dearest friends she heard the strap give away her hand went to the connection she would need to get some strength to contain Bosco from harming himself or others.

Doc and Carlos's hands were quick and they slammed their hands on to Bosco's shoulders trying to keep him on the board but Bosco would not have it. His hands coming undone from the restraints he began to slap and punch away any hands that wanted to keep him down.

Sully ran over trying to help and it seemed the entire ER was going to pounce on Bosco. But to Bosco it was entirely and utterly frightening. He couldn't understand why he was strapped down in the first place, he couldn't comprehend what they wanted of him so he did what anybody would do with drugs pumping in them, do anything necessary to get away from your captors.
Bosco's body was pumped up, he couldn't feel pain and he couldn't think rationally so anything he did or if anybody tried anything that would just make him more erratic so thus far giving him the full advantage. Some how he was able to keep the hands at bay long enough to wiggle himself and unstrapped himself from the stretcher and fall to the tile floor.

Sully, Doc, Carlos and a couple ER doctors tried to keep Bosco from getting any further then the floor, Sully as though he was trying to subdue a criminal pressed his knee into Bosco's back as they held his hands to the floor.

Bosco thought this was it, he was going to be captured again. His wild mind screamed to do something but he didn't know what to do. So with pure adrenaline he let out a primal scream as every muscle screamed out in protest as he lifted off the ground. The group not ready for this fell back from him and he moving quickly was running as fast as his legs out the ER.

Everybody looked at each other and scrambled up they bolted out of the ER trying to catch up to Bosco who had gotten free only when they got out and began to give chase he vanished into the dark streets of New York City.


It felt like an eternity to Faith Yokas who stood there. Not sure why she couldn't move but it was only a matter of seconds before she heard Sully's voice yelling into the radio that they had lost Bosco.

She felt like everything was falling underneath her and she was losing ground and there was nothing she could do to stop this spiral of disaster. She didn't know what to do, especially when Angela Rose Boscorelli came waltzing into the emergency room.
