~Chapter 29~

Bosco was tired the air off the lake was making him more and more sleepy so he decided to go up to bed. He stood up and turned around, ready to walk off the dock and up to the house when someone slammed into him and they both went hurtiling into the lake. SPLASH!

Bos couldn't breathe, he tried to get back to the surface, but someone was pulling him back down towards the bottom of the lake. The tackle given to him by his attacker, had knocked the wind out of him and he was starting to feel dizzy from the lack of oxygen.

He looked down at the figure trying to pull him further into the depths of the lake and saw that they were wearing a mask. They also had on a black beater and a pair of dark jeans. Amidst the struggling he also noticed a tatoo on the right bicep of his opponent. It was a black cross of independence.

Bosco was starting to loose conciousness, he could see black dots in his vision. His attacker had his hands around Bosco's throat and Bosco could feel himself slipping away.

SPLASH! Jimmy, Davis and Carlos looked at eachother and smiled. All thinking the same thing. Bosco had fallen in the lake. They rushed out on to the deck and glanced around. None of them saw Bosco.

"I don't see him." Said Carlos. Just then they saw a splash in the lake just a few feet from the dock.

"Crap!" said Doherty and they all ran down the stairs and towards the dock. When they reached the end Jimmy and Davis dived in.

They looked around and spotted two figures. One was apparently trying to drown the other. Davis and Doherty swam towards the pair and as soon as Bosco's attacker saw them, he started swimming away.

Davis caught up to him above water, only to be punched in the face. When he resurfaced after the shock and pain wore off, his attacker had reached shore and was running into the forrest. 'Damn' Thought Davis.

"Davis!" Ty heard Jimmy yell. He turned in the water to see Doherty pulling Bosco towards the dock. Bosco was unconcious. 'Crap.' Davis swam to shore as fast as he could. When he reached the dock, Carlos and Jimmy were pulling Bosco out of the water.

"Shit." Said Carlos, "He's not breathing and I don't feel a pulse."

Davis didn't know what to do, he was scared out of his mind. Jimmy was pushing down on Bosco's chest and Carlos was breathing into his mouth.

Every minute seemed like an eternity to Jimmy. Every second seemed like there was less and less of a chance that Bosco was going to open his eyes. He silently prayed to god that Bosco would open his eyes and get up, laughing at Jimmy for worrying.

Davis kept checking his watch, '2 minutes 36 seconds, 2 minutes 39 seconds.'

Tears had started to stream down their faces as Bosco still remained dead still.

"Come on man..please wake up." Whispered Davis as he kneeled beside his friend on the dock. Suddenly Bosco started coughing up water. They turned him on his side and sighed with relief as he opened his eyes.

"What happened?" whispered Bosco in a raspy, hoarse voice.

"someone found us here and tried to drown you." Said Carlos, relief still evident in his voice.

"yippee for me" Bosco said in a sleepy voice.

"alright lets get him up to the house."

"Hows he doing Carlos?" asked Jimmy, as he sat beside Bosco who was sleeping on the couch.

"Hes okay, he just needs a lot of rest." Said Carlos, rubbing his eyes.

"you look tired man, why don't you go to bed?" suggested Davis, who was looking very alert, a gun in hand.

"Are you kidding me? How the hell am I supposed to sleep after that?" replied Carlos. He looked at the clock, 1:20am. 'It's late, well I guess it's early, technically' he thought to himself.

"What time is it?" asked a small, quiet voice from the couch.

"1:20 Bos, how you feeling?"

"Better." Said Bosco as he sat up, he rubbed his eyes.

"Dude, you need rest." Said Jimmy from beside him.

Bosco looked up noticing the worry in his expression, and gave him a tired smile.

"Whats so funny?" asked Doherty.

"you were worried weren't ya?" asked Bos. Jimmy just rolled his eyes and mumbled something as he walked over to the kitchen. Davis smiled and nodded at Bosco mouthing 'He SO was.' Bosco smirked.

Then they heard the sound of a car making its way into the driveway. They all went into alert mode. Bosco grabbed his gun and got uneasily to his feet. Him and Davis made their way to the door. With every step Bosco felt like he was going to collapse and pass out.

Davis crept cautiously towards the door. He glanced at Bosco, who looked like he was going to pass out. All four of the guys held their breath, both guns pointed towards the door as the doorknob turned. The door opened.

"Ahhh!" screamed Kim, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

"Whats going on?" Doc asked her as he came up behind with the others.

"They are trying to shoot me!" she yelled, pointing at the guys. Davis and Bosco lowered their guns.

Finally after being reassured that he wasn't going to die at this moment, Bosco's legs collapsed from under him. Luckily before he hit the ground Jimmy caught him.

"Whoa there Bos." He lifted Bosco's arm and put it around his shoulder. As Jimmy led Bosco back over to the couch to lie down, the questions reigned on Davis and Carlos.

"Oh my god! What happened to Bosco?"

"Are you guys okay?"

"Whats with the guns?"

Davis held his hand up in the air to silence them all.

"Okay okay just everyone be quiet." Said Carlos.

"How was your time?" asked Ty, trying to change the subject.

"We went to 'X-men 2' and then we had to wait at the restaurant for a while because Steve had to pick up something." Explained Faith.

"Steve?" asked Carlos.

"Officer Steve Smith." Said Alex.

"oh."

"So what happened with you guys?"asked Smith.

"Well we had a pretty good time, played Monopoly, hung out, Bosco drowned, then we just talked for a while." Said Carlos, saying it all really fast.

"WHAT?!!!"
