Title: Charging Noble
Disclaimer: I own none of these characters.
Spoilers: Well the entire ending of the Season Finale. I doubt any from the premiere in September but you never know.
Summary: My take off the Season Finale of Third Watch. Bosco/Faith/Cruz/Noble season premiere thoughts.
Notes: First, may I say I was VERY mad that NBC left us hanging off a cliff. Ok how so not fair is that? Well this is just something I felt like writing on my spare time of something that 'could happen' in September. I doubt they will kill off the person I did, but awww here it goes!
Three gun shots echoed though the hotel room as Cruz and Faith fell to the floor. I dropped my gun as it hit the wooden floor with a loud clatter feeling pain strike though my arm. I grasped my shoulder.
Cruz fell to the floor, grasping her side as Faith laid face down on the cold floor. Shock soared though me, how could I have let this happen? I looked down at my once aimed gun. I was only trying to get them to stop. I didn't shoot my gun and I was more then sure that Faith and Cruz didn't either. It didn't have to end this way. I stared at them both from across the way. I rubbed my head trying to take it all in as Noble slid out from behind the corner, holding a different gun, aimed at me. I went to grab my gun.
"You touch that gun, Ill shoot ya again!" Noble remarked his gun cocked at me. I put my hands up seeing the anger in my eyes backing up away from him as he got closer.
"You bastard," I managed to murmur as I looked from Cruz, to Faith, and then back to Noble.
"You thought you were going to turn me in aie?" he chuckled coldly. "Well not look what happened, it's your entire fault Officer Boscorelli."
"Sarge was saving your ass! If it was up to me, you would have been in jail the minute I saw you shoot that guy!" I yelled back trying to fight the pain. A few sirens were heard in the distance, surely the gun shots were heard from the other room. Noble became aware of this quickly.
"Don't go far Boscorelli, Ill find you." He said and rushed out the door leaving me staring into space in disbelief. I could feel Cruz's stares at me, looking up to her I remained silent, she was alive, she tried to say something but she couldn't manage it, gasping for deep breaths. Looking back at Faith, she laid there motionless. I wouldn't admit what my gut was telling me. She couldn't be, dead. Walking slowly towards Faith's motionless body I kneeled down beside her and checked for a pulse. I stared at her for a few minutes. Blood surrounded her body. My guess was the bullet from Noble hit an artery.
"Bosco.." I heard Cruz whimper between her gasps. I broke my stare from Faith and looked at her. I never saw her look so angry and wrecked before. She looked bad. Really bad. Blood soaked her shirt and made a small pool on the floor. I couldn't believe what was happening. I should have never went this far, it wasn't worth this! Faith didn't deserve this.
The sirens got louder as I sat down across Sarge and Faith, resting my back to the wall overwhelmed by the pain and shock.
"Bosco." Cruz groaned again. What did she expect me to do? Looking down at my shoulder I grimaced a bit using my free arm as a sling holding my elbow. I leaned my head back swearing this was a dream. I wished to open my eyes and be awoken by my alarm clock going off to start the new day. When I opened them, I realized, I was trapped, in a nightmare.
Staring at myself in the mirror of the hospital, my arm bandaged, I observed the man in the mirror. I still hadn't washed the blood off my hands or even face. I shuddered knowing clearly, this blood was not mine. I couldn't believe what had happened and did not want to. How could I be the person who put there best friend in harms way and nearly killed a sergeant. I didn't even know if she was dead. You're a jackass Bosco, and always will be, I told myself. A knock came from the door. "Yo Bos…you ok?" I heard a male voice ask, surely it was Davis.
Opening the door he gave me a puzzled expression. "You've been in there for nearly thirty minutes now." He told me. I realized I had totally zoned out and headed out into the packed Emergency Room emotionless. Sitting down I stared at the floor praying for news, I had to know what was going on. I prayed in my mind what they were able to help Faith, but I knew deep inside what the outcome of this was going to be.
I could feel Sully and Davis's sympathetic stares from across the way near the desk. I looked up and they looked away, cowards. A doctor approached them and began chatting, there face of hope turned to sorrow as they turned to look at me.
"That's him, Officer Boscorelli." Sully said with a nod to the doc. He walked over approaching me, I looked up.
"Officer Boscorelli, Officer Yokas, your partner, is gone." He explained. "Sergeant Cruz, however, has survived surgery. I will let you know what she wakes up."
I nodded not showing any tears or emotion what so ever. "Good, I need to speak to her." As the doctor walked away my gaze returned back to the floor. My hope was gone; I had lost all of my 'faith'.
