Chapter 7

" Watching Her"

Faith slowly started to wake up as the paramedics were checking her out. The last thing Faith remembers was that there was a fire in the warehouse, and she thought she was going be trapped there forever.

"How… did I get out?" said a weak Faith quietly.

" Faith…  don't talk," Kim said as she put the oxygen mask on Faith. Faith then took it off.

" Bosco… and Fred. " said Faith softly.

" Doc and Carlos are working on them," said Kim softly as she put the oxygen mask back on.

Alex and Kim then put Faith into the ambulance.  But before she went in there, Faith looked at Doc and Carlos as they worked on Bosco.

" I'm really sorry Bosco, I never meant anything like this to happen, thought Faith to herself.

Later that day,

Faith woke up, and saw that Fred was there.

" Fred," said Faith softly. Fred then looked up at Faith. " You are awake, how are you feeling?" asked Fred as he got from his chair/

" I'm doing fine, I'm just a little bit tired. " What about you, are you okay?" asked Faith as she sat up.

" The doctor said that it was just a minor gun shot wound, I should be fine in no time." said Fred.

" That's great… what about Bosco?" said Faith softly. Fred then all of a sudden went silent.

" Fred… what is it? Bosco's not dead is he?" said Faith softly. Fred looked up at Faith and he could see how worried she was about Bosco.

" No… he's not dead. They took him to surgery a couple hours ago."

" Oh Fred… this is my entire fault, if only I had found Bosco earlier, he would never have gotten stabbed." cried Faith.

" Faith, this isn't your fault. Please don't blame yourself" said Fed as he hugged Faith.

" I know it isn't my fault, but I still feel like it is. Fred… Bosco would have done anything for me, and what did I do for him, I got him stabbed." said Faith quietly.

The doctor then came into Faith's room. " Faith needs to get some rest." said the doctor to Fred.

" Okay, I see you later," said Fred as he leaned over and kissed Faith.

" Oh Fred, " said Faith.

" Yeah" said Fred as he turned around." Is something wrong?" he said nervously

" No, I'm fine. But could you see if there is any word on Bosco?" asked Faith softly.

" Sure, I'll try " said Fred as he left the room.

***

Ty, Sully, and some of the other police officers were waiting for word on Bosco.

" Sully, do you think we will hear something soon?" said Ty softly.

" I don't know," said Sully softly. Sully couldn't believe it when he got a call that both Faith and Bosco were in an accident. Sully knew how much Bosco meant to Faith. Sully then looked at his partner, and he just didn't know what he would do if something ever happened to Ty.

Ty then saw Alex coming towards them." Sully, I'm just going to go talk to Alex,,, tell me if there is any word on Bosco.

" Sure, " said Sully.

" Hi Alex, " said Ty as he hugged her. " So is there any word on Bosco yet?" asked Alex softly as her and Ty sat down on the seat near them.

" No, he has been in surgery for almost 2 hours."

" Alex, did you work on him?" asked Ty softly.

Alex looked up at her boyfriend, and she could see that even Bosco and Ty weren't really friends, Ty still cared abut Bosco because Bosco is part of the family.

" No, I didn't work on Bosco, but Doc and Carlos did," said Alex kindly.

" Oh, " said Ty softly. Ty then saw that Sully and the other officers were talking to the doctor, so Alex and Ty decided to join them.

" Bosco is in serious condition, and the next 24 hours are the most critical ." said the doctor as she walked away. Fred had just heard the last sentence the doctor said, and he knew this wasn't good. How is he going to tell his wife that Bosco is still in critical condition without her thinking that it is her fault. But Fred knew that he has to do it and headed towards Faith's room. All the officers looked at each other unsure of what to say, so they all went their separate ways.

Rick couldn't believe that Faith and her friends got out the warehouse, that wasn't the plan. They were all going to die when I set the fire in the warehouse. How did my plan go wrong? thought Rick to himself. Rick then looked in Faith's room, and saw that she was sound asleep, and he knew this would be the best time to get rid of Faith, but then Rick saw Fred coming towards the room with the doctor. I guess I have to come back, thought Rick as he walked away. This time there will be no mistakes, he laughed to himself.

" So is my wife is going to be okay?" asked Fred to the doctor as they were walking to Faith's room.

" Her injuries aren't that serious, but she is still really weak. But I think all she need is some rest." said the doctor as his pager went off.

" I have to go, but if you have any questions, I'll be here to answer them," said the doctor as he walked away.

Fred then went into Faith's room.

" Hi," said Faith softly as she sat up." So did you find anything about Bosco?" asked Faith delicately. Fred looked up at his wife and could she how distressed she was about Bosco.

" He is out of surgery, and he is ICU," said Fred softly.

" Fred, can you take me to see Bosco, please?" asked Faith tenderly. Fred then took Faith's hand, " The doctor said that you need your rest, but I'm sure that you can see Bosco tomorrow" he said to her.

" But I want to make sure that Bosco is fine. This happened because of me, the least I can do is make sure he is okay."

" I'm sorry Faith, there is nothing I can do," said Fred. Fred then saw that Faith was starting to get tired.

" Faith, I'll let you rest," said Fred as he started to leave the room.

" Fred,"

" Yeah, "said Fred as he turned around. "The kids are okay, right?" asked Faith.

" Yeah, they are staying over at my parent's place, and they have no idea what happened to us," said Fred.

" Can you give them a hug and kiss for me, "yawned Faith.

" I definitely can, " said Fred as he leaned over and kissed her, and then he left the room. Fred looked through the window to make sure that Faith was okay, before he left the hospital.

***
Rick waited until he was sure that Fred was gone before he went inside Faith's room.

Rick crept up to Faith's bedside, and make sure that he didn't make a noise.

" Fred… is that you?" asked Faith softly.

" No… it's your worst nightmare," laughed Rick.
