"Oh yeah...see the way I go slidin' over the hood of that car?" Bosco grinned, his eyes glued to the screen. "Pretty damn awesome."
"Big deal," Jimmy grumbled, only half watching, his arms crossed over his chest. "Anyone can do stuff like that."
"Don't remember you doing anything like that recently." Bosco forced his eyes away from the screen for a moment to look at Jimmy. "Have you even been in the show at all?"
"Shut up," Jimmy retorted.
"Bosco, do you really have to do this?" Kim asked, shaking her head. "Jimmy, don't pay any attention to him."
"Whatever..." Bosco turned his attention back to the screen and nudged Faith with his elbow. "Watch this, Faith. Pretty fancy drivin' if I do say so myself."
"Oh yeah, just what I was dyin' to see, you and Cruz in a fast movin' car," Faith said, rolling her eyes.
"Does this scene ever end?" Sully mumbled to Ty under his breath.
"Damn look at that crash," Ty viewed the scene intently as he munched on a chicken wing. "I think you got your wish, Sul."
******
Ty nervously slumped down in his seat as he watched Alex perched on the hood of the car. "Oh man...I really don't want to watch this..." He squeezed his eyes shut, not watching the explosion or the aftermath. "Oh man..."
The room fell silent. Kim buried her head against Carlos' shoulder while Jimmy stared at the screen in shock. "What...what the hell just happened? No...nobody told me that was going to happen. What the hell!"
"Nice, wasn't it?"
Everyone's eyes turned simultaneously in the direction of Alex's voice. She sighed heavily and gazed back at them with red-rimmed eyes. "Are you okay?" Kim asked, getting up to give her a hug. "We didn't think you were going to come."
"I've been better."
"Come sit with me," Ty said, patting the space beside him.
"No...I think I'll go sit with Kim and Carlos," Alex said, shaking her head as she walked over and sat down next to Carlos.
"Hey, I'm glad you came," Carlos said, giving her a sympathetic look.
"Thanks..." Alex replied softly. "And I appreciate what you did in that scene...it meant a lot."
"No problem."
"Wow...that was pretty intense," Faith said softly, finally getting back her voice after what she had just seen. "I'm really sorry, Alex."
"It's okay" Alex managed a faint smile in Faith's direction. "I mean, I wanted to leave...it's just...I guess I didn't expect it to happen quite like that, you know?"
"Yeah...I can't even imagine," Faith said.
"Well...we can always hope," Cruz smirked at Faith.
"Oh I did hope," Faith replied, glaring back at Cruz. "I hoped and prayed every day that you were the one who was leavin', I just didn't get my prayer answered...well not yet anyway..."
"Don't hold your breath," Cruz muttered, turning her attention back to the television set where Bosco and Faith were out in the parking lot.
"Don't help him, Faith," Jimmy called out. "He'll drag you right down with him."
"You don't know nothin'" Bosco stated, giving Jimmy an aggravated look. "Keep out of it."
"I've been watching. I know enough to know you don't deserve her."
"Can we please just watch this?" Doc interrupted pleadingly. "This is the last time all of us will be together this season. Can't we just get along?"
"Fine," Jimmy answered.
"No problem," Bosco stated.
Fred was watching the scene between Bosco and his wife with a horrified look on his face. "What the hell is this?" he asked. "What is this connection between the two of you?"
"I don't get it either," Cruz stated, putting her arm around Fred. "She has some kind of hold on him, but don't worry, Freddy. I'll help you through it."
Faith gave Cruz and Fred an incredulous look. "Oh you've got to be kiddin' me."
"You don't' think I'm an attractive man?" Fred asked loudly, staring back at Faith. "You think you're the only one who can get someone else? Well you're dead wrong, baby."
"Whatever, Fred. You want her, you can have her."
"Can you please just stop?" Doc shouted as he gestured towards the screen. "I just found out about what happened to Taylor. This is a dramatic moment in my life!"
"Wouldn't have been so dramatic if you hadn't forced her on paramedic duty," Ty mumbled.
"What?" Doc turned towards Ty angrily. "I can't even believe you have the gall to say that to me."
"Well it's true, isn't it?" Ty snapped back, his eyes blazing.
"Come on, Ty. Calm down." Sully put his hand on his partner's shoulder. "Don't get all worked up."
"Especially when you have no right to," Doc said.
"And what exactly is that supposed to mean?" Ty asked.
"It means you dumped Taylor like yesterday's news. You're no better than I am."
"I did not dump her!" Ty shouted. "We just...it just...it ended, we ended, that's all."
"Yeah right," Doc scoffed. "Everyone saw the way you treated her after you got shot. Telling your mom she was one of the guys. Way to treat a woman, Davis."
"You're supposed to be some kind of expert on woman?" Ty asked, starting to laugh. "Oh please."
"Can you please stop this?" Alex shouted, silencing the two men. "You're both acting like asses. You're making what happened about you, but it isn't about you! I'm the one that was blown in half. I'm the one that isn't on the show anymore! God, could you be any more selfish?"
"I'm sorry, Alex," Ty mumbled, looking down shamefaced.
"Yeah, sorry," Doc echoed.
"Fine, now let's get back to the show and can someone please pass me the chow mein?"
******
"Can't believe you sent that bitch to go up against me," Cruz spat out at Bosco as she watched Faith searching through Noble's apartment.
"Yeah well there are a lot of things 'bout you I can't believe," he retorted.
"You are going to be so sorry you went up against me."
"I'm shakin'".
"What the hell!" Fred pulled away from Cruz and glared at Bosco. "You trying to get my wife killed?"
"Yeah, like you care," Faith said, shaking her head.
"Faith's got the gun..." Ty's eyes widened as Cruz came into the room. "Oh shit!"
"Crazy bitch," Sully murmured.
"Doc scene..." Ty rolled his eyes.
"I deserve that scene," Doc retorted, his eyes filling with tears as he watched himself crying on the screen. "Man...I can't believe how good I am."
Everyone's attention was once again riveted to the television as the action focused back on Noble's apartment.
"This is really nerve-wracking," Sully stated as he shoveled fried rice into his mouth. "Bosco what have you done?"
"What have I done?" Bosco asked. "What are you doing? Keep eatin' like that you won't be able to fit into the RMP."
Three gunshots rang out and everyone stared at the scene silently.
"Damn..." Ty finally stated, breaking the silence as he turned his gaze toward Bosco and Faith. "What happened? Do you know?"
"No, we don't know," Bosco shrugged.
"I know what I would like to have happen though," Faith said, smiling a syrupy smile in Cruz's direction.
"Right back at ya, honey," Cruz said, narrowing her eyes at Faith.
"Leave her alone." Bosco put his arm protectively around Faith.
"Get your hands off my wife," Fred demanded loudly.
"Shut up, Fred," Faith snuggled in closer to Bosco. "Go play with Cruz since you think she's so hot."
"This ain't over, Bosco!" Fred shouted, pointing his finger at Bosco. "Not by a long shot." He gave them one last angry look before heading out, stomping loudly as he walked.
"Oh yeah, like I'm afraid of Fred," Bosco stated, shaking his head.
"Fred! Fred wait!" Cruz called as she ran out after him.
"Does that woman ever quit?" Faith asked. "God, I hope they kill her in the season premiere."
"Dad, I'm bored," Joey whined as he walked back into the room. "Can we go home now?"
"Yeah, yeah Joey we can go," Jimmy said as he stood up. "Go say goodbye to your mother." He walked over to Alex and leaned down to give her a hug. "You take care, Alex, okay?"
"You too, Jimmy." She smiled, looking up at him through tear-filled eyes. "Hang in there."
"I'll try," he replied with a shrug. "But I don't think it's going to be easy."
"Sully? You ready to get out of here?" Ty asked, glancing at his partner.
"Yep, all set. Let's go."
Ty glanced over at Alex and smiled awkwardly at her. "Good luck, Alex...I hope everything goes well for you."
"Thanks, Ty. Good luck to you too."
"Thanks. Carlos I'll see you at home later," he called to his roommate as he and Sully headed out.
"Bye, Ty" Carlos replied before turning his attention to Kim. She looked pretty sad. She'd really seemed to like that Noble guy even if he was a sleaze. "Hey Kim, you want to go out for a drink?"
Kim gave Carlos a surprised look. "You want to go for a drink? With me?"
"Yeah...No big deal if you don't want to," he muttered, suddenly wishing he hadn't asked her in front of everybody.
"No, no I -do- want to," Kim smiled at him as she got to her feet. She and Carlos said their goodbyes to Alex and quickly made themselves scarce.
"I guess I'm going to get out of here too," Alex stated softly, looking around the room for one last time.
Doc quickly got up and gave her a long look. "I'd like to give you a ride home...I think we have a few things to discuss..."
Alex sighed, not really wanting to spend any more time with him, but she figured one more ride wouldn't kill her, at least not literally. "Okay...let's go. See you around," she called, waving to Bosco and Faith.
"Bye, Alex. You take care," Faith waved back at her and then turned to Bosco, a smile on her lips. "Well Bos...you didn't want to come here and now we're going to be the last to leave."
"I guess it wasn't so bad," he admitted, returning her smile. "And some parts were pretty good."
"I have to admit, I'm liking that you and Cruz aren't joined at the hip anymore..."
"What about Fred?" Bosco asked hesitantly. "I mean if he and Cruz...you know...do you mind?"
Faith paused, then shook her head, smiling. "Fred and I haven't been exactly seein' eye-to-eye for quite some time. He wants Cruz, he's welcome to her..."
"But then you'll be all alone..." Bosco said softly, finding himself unable to look away from her, completely lost in her eyes.
"Not necessarily," Faith whispered. She moved in closer to him and gently touched the side of his face. "I'd still have you..."
Bosco swallowed hard, not really believing what was happening. "Faith...are you sure 'bout this? I mean...I don't think this will be in the script..."
"I'm sure," Bosco," she whispered as her lips finally met his in a long anticipated kiss. "To hell with the script."
