Chapters 3/3

Part 3-Conclusion

Sgt. Cruz left the hospital after Faith Yokas had vowed to find out what had happened to her partner. Cruz knew damn well she didn't belong there and never would. She could have redeemed herself if only the explanation of what happened to Bosco came out, thing was, if she did that meant the end of her. So leaving was the best thing to do.

Faith sat with most of her friends, sat down and tried to wait hoping the hours would fly by. But being in a hospital, those uncomfortable chairs, white walls that seemed to make your eyes hurt just by staring at them, and that elevator music just got to be too much. So Faith stood up knowing her troubled mind would not be at ease till she went back to that scene and she got somebody to tell her what happened.

With a turning stomach that told her to take the stress level down she reached home. Fred asked her what had happened, concerned.

She walked to their room discarding the uniform on the bed and in it's place she put on a pair of dark blue jeans, a top, and a zipper sweatshirt over it to cover any bare skin that would get cold quickly with the coming night time air.

Again her husband pressed trying to find out the details but she just didn't want to have to try and explain. Quickly she gave him the quickest and best explanation and making him understand. He called and would wait for somebody to look after the kids and he to would join those to wait word to call Faith if something came up. He kissed her before she left wishing her good luck and to be careful.


Not long after Faith came to the scene of where she assumed it all occurred. Holding back throwing up when she realized the blood, Bosco's blood, still stained the cement ground, christening the spot he was shot.

"Hey, sugar momma, what you doing out so late, ain't it past your bedtime?"

Faith looked over at the group of junkies standing around having nothing better to do but stand around and talk and smoke weed.

She knew she needed help badly but she sure wasn't going to find it from them. Mind racing a mile a minute, not sure how to approach this she ended up right where the blood was still deep red. Bending down she placed her hand on it and traced right along the edges of it. Dried up.

"She shot him."

Jumping up she immediately turned around her hand was going into her purse. She turned around to see a teenager kid.

"Excuse me?"

"Sgt. Cruz, she shot Officer Boscorelli?"

Looking around she half expected the ones standing around to jump on this kid for saying something like this for getting involved but what shocked her the group began to form around him.

"Yeah I saw it to, sugar momma, shot him down right here," his eyes looked down where Faith was standing "bitches huh?"

"We're sick of her."

Some of the ones forming yelled along, agreeing. Faith couldn't believe this.

"What did she do, I mean...."

"Why do we hate her, she sells us drugs," another one piped in "yeah and then hails our ass right into jail after. I hate that bitch!"

"Could I possibly take your statement boys?"

"No, but we got something better." The teenager boy then whispered into the ear of one and nodding took off and not more then 2 minutes a man walked out holding a videotape. Handing it to Faith he smiled and sadly looked at it.

"Boscorelli, I owed him, he let me off and well I told him if he ever needed anything to ring me. This will explain everything, perfect view of what happened." He then nodded his head to the window where Faith looked to see a video camera pointed right where they were all standing. Faith looked back.

"Thank you, this means so much.....thank you."

She then took off back to the Precinct, show the tape off to get Cruz for what she did and then go to the hospital and see if her partner would make it.

(Hospital)

Faith jogged into the ER. She quickly made it into the room where everybody was sitting, the private room when one of their own was hurt. They all looked up at her. Trying to read their faces, hoping that Bosco didn't lose his will to live. Her husband stood up they all looked at him and her as he walked slowly and he pulled her into an embrace and her heart beating faster and faster with the uneasy silence. She pulled away and watched his eyes. He was smiling.

"He made it so far, only family are allowed. His mother hasn't yet come, I told them you were his family....go Faith." She brought him towards her again and hugged him hard and then he let go and she was off again.


"Excuse me do you know...."

"Hello Faith, Officer Boscorelli is in," looking down at the chart "oh, right over there actually."

Faith turned and looked where she had pointed. A curtain was pulled around a bed, making sure whoever was in there was not to be disturbed with the hustle and bustle of the emergency room. Taking a few steps she put her hand on the curtain and with a very calm breath she opened it up.

A stool was right next to the bed so she sat down grabbed the curtain and pulled it shut again. For the first time she thought she was going to be sick. Before she even thought to wake him everything from the previous weeks, from today, just everything that had built up came out in tears of joy, anger, sadness and guilt. Closing her eyes trying to stop thinking it was silly but it just made it come even harder. She put her elbow down on her leg put her hand up and covered her eyes, hiding it almost. Her body shook as she tried to keep it silent. Her fingers tickled as a hand was gently touching the one on her face and taking her hand off she looked to see Bosco's eyes opened weakly.

"Don't cry. Hate to see women cry."

Saying this only made her cry harder. But she ended up getting ahold of herself and she wiped them away making her eyes redder then they already were.

"Cruz?"

"I know, I went back Bosco, got the tape, she won't be working or for that matter be a free woman for a very long time, Stick and Lt. Swersky promised me on that one."

Bosco nodded his head.

Faith looked away when he stared at her. Even after all that had happened she still felt guilty. Her shoulders sagged with remorse knowing what she had done to him. Guilt plagued her.

"Bosco.....I am so, sorry."

"Faith."

"Don't, I am," she sniffled as tears threatened. "It's my fault, everything is my fault, if I hadn't said those things this would have never happened."

"Yes it would of."

"NO, it wouldn't. If I hadn't pushed you the way I did, Bosco you mean everything to me, you're my best friend and I would never hurt you on purpose; you have to believe me." She looked at him "Your family to me, your just another,"

"Kid?"

"No," she smiled "your just another parent to my children."

She looked down swallowing hard.

"Bosco, I love you, there's nothing more then that, I would die for you, you hear me?" Looking up with stern eyes "I would lay my life on the line if that meant saving you from pain, you mean so much to me and I don't know what I would do if I lost you, thank you for coming into my life Boscorelli, thank you for being my partner, just.....thank you."

Bosco smirked.

"You just know it wouldn't be right without me."

Faith shook her head and agreed.

"You're right Bosco, it just wouldn't be the same."

Watching him she saw him beginning to close his eyes letting out a heavy sigh.

"Sleep good Bosco, I'll be here waiting."

She kissed his hand and then brought it to her cheek placed it down on the bed. There she would sit, waiting for Bosco's mother and not moving from that spot like she said she wouldn't, she owed him that much.

Love. Love can do many things to us. You may not love in the sense you go to bed with them, but love them for who they are, for what they stand and what they fight for. Friendship a true friendship has love in it and if you love that person you truly will do anything and everything, even dying for them.

The End!

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
