Chapter 11
Mikey looked over at his brother and looked away. They didn't have to talk to understand what one another was thinking.
They were making their way back to the restaurant to eat some food with the gang when somebody decided to pay them an unexpected visit.
Something distracted Mikey on the street and he turned his head to study it for a second and when he went to nudge his brother to show him, he wasn't there. He turned his head to the side and then turned and looked behind expecting to see his brother doing something but to his dismay he wasn't there. Not sure what to make of the situation he just hoped his brother was playing another one of his disappearing acts. Bosco had always done that to him. If the power went out or the two happen to be in a generally dark place Bosco would go and hide of course leaving Mikey to go and search for him Bosco would then jump from wherever he was hidden and scare him to death. Mikey being scared out of his wits would go running away not understanding why his older brother would do that to him, but it was only because Bosco was terrified of the dark and it made him feel better if he could make his younger brother feel that same terror.
Mikey retraced his steps and walked back towards the last time he saw his brother and that was before the alley thinking Bosco would come screaming out, how wrong he was.
Bosco was enjoying his brother's company for once and not to be arguing, it seemed every time they saw each other they had to bicker so it was nice. He never expected Nick to come out of no where but he mentally kicked himself that he was caught off guard.
As he walked by the alley next to his brother which he tried not to shiver hating alleyways especially at night he didn't even get the chance to say anything when something pulled his shoulder and made him stumbled into the darkened street. Before Bosco could even had a chance to let out a surprised yelp a hand went over his mouth, trapping any words or cries of help. He felt the barrel of the 9mm pressed against his head. He wondered what the hell was going on who would dare do this to an on-duty cop but then a voice spoke and he knew who would.
"Caught off guard Officer, that's not good. Don't you remember me Boscorelli?"
Bosco's anger flared up. When Nick began to talk he knew who it was right off the bat, for Bosco could never mistake Nick's voice. Mumbling something that would probably get him hit but his words laid on deaf ears for the words could not be heard with the large hand over his mouth.
Nick pressed hard with the gun into Bosco's temple when a noise could be heard. Mikey was calling out to Bosco. Nick pulled Bosco out from the middle and let the darkness hide both of them.
Mikey stepped into the alleyway the dark embracing him into its arms. His eyes adjusted and as they did he could see slight movement close to the building.
As his eyes made out the figure he realized it was Bosco and he could tell as Bosco moved he was not alone.
He tried to hold back but a tiny gasp of air came out from his mouth as he saw his brother being held by gun point by Nick.
"Surprised to see me Mikey?"
Mikey didn't say anything as Nick stepped closer pushing Bosco with him.
"So now that I have you both here finally together you both can pay for making me do fucking time when I didn't need to."
"Look Nick, Bosco doesn't have nothing to do with this, it's just between you and me. Come on."
"Oh fuck you Mikey. It has everything to do with your brother and you so don't give me that bull shit, your entire family has everything to do with it. I'll kill you first I do believe, then your brother," he pressed the temple again causing Bosco to flinch and move his head a little trying to get away from the barrel "and then your dear Momma, and maybe for fun your father."
Bosco mumbled something again. Nick looked and took his hand off then with the hand that covered Bosco's mouth grabbed the back of his shirt twisting it and tightening the coat around Bosco's neck making it a little difficult to breath properly.
"What did you say?"
Reaching up to pull at the coat that was strangling his neck Bosco repeated his words.
"I said, kill our Dad, no lost there, the bastard deserves it."
Nick looked at the back of Bosco's head.
"Oh so you don't care, then I won't then....wouldn't want to be doing you a favor now would I?"
Bosco rolled his eyes.
"Look Nick will you stop what you're doing, just let my brother go."
Trying to convince Nick into some kind of state of mind where he would try and think what he was doing Mikey took a step towards Nick and that is when Nick placed the gun on him. He knew there was no way that he would be able to get Nick to stop what he was doing but if that meant the gun be pointed at him instead of his brother's head, then so be it.
"You shut up, it's all your fucking fault. It all boils down to you two mother fuckers. Because of you," Nick jerked the gun at Mikey, "I had to do time but because you had a brother who is a fucking pig you didn't. Well this time you will pay for everything."
Nick was ready to pull the trigger when Bosco sprung into action. He landed his foot hard onto Nick's foot and then brought his elbow back and slammed it into Nick's mouth and with a quick swing he brought his arm down on Nick's outstretched hand. When the gun slackened Bosco turned around and realized Nick was not yet dazed the first thing came to mind was to head butt him and that is what he did both of them feeling the force of Bosco's head. Nick fell to the ground with Bosco swaying to the side shaking his head with Mikey grinning like a Chester cat.
"Good God, Bro, I always said you were head strong but I never thought you would take it God damn seriously."
Both of them turned and looked at Nick who was grabbing his head in pain. Bosco walked over and grabbed the gun that laid beside Nick's side.
He then left Nick and walked back to Mikey. With his back turned Bosco didn't even see Nick roll over and grab the gun from the back of his waistband, failing to hear the gun cock. All Bosco had the chance to do was spin around when he saw the look cross his brother's features.
The gun exploded and the bullet that came from Nick's gun slammed into Bosco. Bosco stumbled backwards falling into Mikey, Mikey not ready for his brother's weight lost his footing and both brothers toppled and fell to the ground hard. Mikey felt the whoosh of the breath knocked out of him.
Mikey's mind registered and pushed Bosco off of him. He was on his knees looking down at his unconscious brother. In his mind his brother was now dead, dead because of him. He forgot one thing though that saved a lot of cops lives, the bulletproof vest.
Adrenaline began to pump through him when he heard Nick getting up on his feet. Tears beginning to sting his eyes like sand he willed himself not to cry. He looked away from his brother.
"Awwww, a touching moment."
The words pierced Mikey's soul. His heart was pumping harder and as he closed his eyes and moved his head to look away from his brother Nick's words made his eyes pop open and that is when he spotted the weapon in Bosco's holster.
From the angle Nick couldn't see Mikey unhooking the safety belt from Bosco's gun and pulling it loose and holding the cold deadly firearm in his sweaty hands.
Mikey looked at Bosco as though he wouldn't be there when he turned around and for the last time seeing his eyes shut tight he took a deep breath stood up and turned around.
Nick grinned as though he was a long time friend.
"Sorry about your brother, look on the bright side he won't be alone by himself very long."
Nick cocked the gun and pointed it at Mikey.
"You're wrong."
Pulling his finger off the trigger Nick then stopped pointing the gun and let his arm slacken.
"Now I'm interested, what makes you say that?"
"Because I have Bosco's gun."
Mikey brought the gun he was hiding from behind his back and clicked the gun back.
"See you in hell Nick." He felt the jerk in the gun and for a split second, time stood still for Mikey and in that time he wondered for a split second if he missed he knew Nick would retaliate and kill him and he would truly be with his brother. But the bullet hit dead on and without remorse from the bullet it spilt open Nick's scull and killing him instantly. As his body slumped to the ground with no more life pumping into him his body twitched, blood vessels still pumping blood.
The energy he found to kill Nick zapped out of him and the gun fell from his grasp hitting the ground with a thud echoing down the alley. Turning around he closed his eyes and thought he was dreaming. He opened them up again and his brother was trying to sit up but was having a tough time. He ran over and helped Bosco into full sitting position.
"Jesus that hurts I hate when that happens, shit." Bosco winced taking in deep breaths.
"I thought you were dead Bro." Bosco clenched his teeth when a sharp pain ripped through him and being able to wave off the pain he looked at his brother.
"Takes a lot more to kill me, and one little measly bullet won't stop me."
Realization that Nick had shot him, Bosco looked over at the cold body that once was Nick's and at the gun that laid only a few feet away. He looked down at his empty holster and then at the gun.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When the whole place was surrounded with cops, uniforms and medics Lt. Swersky wanted answers and he was getting impatient with the not knowing anything. He had found Faith and stalked up to her and crossed his arms looking at her.
"So can somebody tell me what the hell happened here? Why I have one dead body, a shot officer, and a brother of the shot officer?" asked Lt. Swersky. Nobody was giving him straight answers so he was picking at Faith Yokas, Boscorelli's partner but she shrugged and told him to go and ask Bosco.
Faith had just gotten to the scene. She heard Bosco call over the radio and naturally the group left in a hurry to get to the scene in where Bosco was calling for assistance. When they got there Bosco was standing up holding his mid section and his brother was supporting most of his weight. She came and helped Bosco out on the street were Doc was waiting to help out. She began to talk to him a mile a second trying to find out what had happened but he waved her off. She took Mikey to the side and asked him what had happened. But his simple reply was to go and ask Bosco. She was about to let out a frustrated scream when she walked back to the ambulance were Bosco had a oxygen mask over his mouth to help his breathing he took it off when he saw his partner coming back.
"Faith all that happened was Nick caught both of us off guard," a hurtful breath he took a gasp of oxygen and then continued "I shot Nick to protect my brother he had a gun trained on us, shot me, I shot back, end of story." He put the oxygen mask back on and closed his eyes when another wave of pain hit him. Nodding her head she patted his foot.
"See you at the hospital Bosco."
She jumped out of the ambulance as Doc closed the doors but before Bosco took the oxygen mask off one more time.
"If Lt. Swersky asks, tell him to talk to me." He winked and that was all he said and the doors slammed shut.
So when LT. Swersky came asking her questions she casually told him to go and talk to Bosco who was being transferred to the hospital.
When she went to her car she saw Mikey sitting in the car not a care in the world she knew he had placed himself there knowing he only trusted her to get him to the hospital without being too aggressive with questions and keep asking what had happened.
For the most part it stayed silent until Mikey mumbled something under his breath while looking away. Faith not truly understanding what he had said asked him to repeat it.
"I said, it's my fault you know?"
Faith dared not take a look at Mikey, she didn't want him to see her true feelings in what she thought about Mikey. She didn't like how Mikey or Angela in how they took Bosco for granted always thinking he would be there to bail them out of trouble when ever they asked it of him. Even though she hated to admit to herself, she had done it numerous times as well as believing Bosco would always be there no matter what but nobody is invincible and nobody lasts forever.
"Look Mikey, you shouldn't beat yourself up about it. All that matter is Bosco is okay, he is a survivor always has been and always will be and he probably has forgiven you, you had your talk, right?"
"Yeah."
"Then Bosco will roll it off his shoulders and to him it never happened. So bringing it up again and making yourself upset just keeps you in the past, just.....just let it go."
As they pulled up to the hospital and parked, the high lit area illuminated the squad car Mikey unhooked his seat belt reaching for the door handle.
"Bosco didn't kill that man did he, you did, didn't you."
Faith didn't ask the question she formed it into a statement. She knew, she seen Bosco be shot before, have witnessed cops being knocked off their feet and not being able to do much after they woke up let alone fire and hit dead on.
Mikey still held onto the door handle ready to jump out and leave Faith sitting in the car hoping he wouldn't have to really have to say much.
Seeing the uneasy look on Mikey's face she smiled a soft warm smile.
"Don't worry, your secrete is safe with me."
"How did you know all this?"
Faith sighed and thought about it for a second and replied.
"Let's just call it....woman's instinct."
"Thank you." Mikey got out of the car quickly hurrying into the hospital.
Faith stayed true to her promise, Nick died by the hand of Bosco and his alone in self-defense. No charges were ever brought for Bosco was only acting on the behalf safety of and any "good" officer would do so with no questions asked. For the officers of the 55 Precinct it was another story that would rather be buried then ever be told again. Nobody would give you straight answers if you asked them anyways because the officers as seeing it was the only way to protect their own making sure he would never live that fear ever again.
The End!
