Vincent and Isaac was both out in the snow, building snowmen and throwing snowballs. Faith agreed to watch Isaac so Maren could look for another job. She went to the door when the doorbell rang. Fred was there with Sydney. Faith frowned.
"Hey. What are you two doing here?" Faith asked.
"Nana!" Sydney jumped into Faith arms; "I'm hungry."
"Okay. I'll get you lunch soon." Faith said as she looked back at Fred, "Why do you have Syd?"
"Jay dropped her off this morning. They wanted some alone time." Fred said, "But I got called into work and I can't keep her."
"So you want me to." Faith looked at Sydney. She grinned at her grandmother, "Go out back with Vinny and Isaac."
"Kay, nana." Sydney ran off.
"Where's Chaz?" Fred asked.
"He's out shopping for Emmy's birthday present." Faith said, "Do you want to come in?" Fred shook his head
"I really need to go, Faith." He said walking down the stairs. Faith frowned deeply and shut the door. He was pawning Sydney off on her. Not that Faith minded having Syd, but he could have called. It was a typical Fred move. Faith sighed and went to the fridge. "Kids! Come eat!" The three kids ran in laughing.
"Auntie, I no like ketchup. Only mustard." Isaac said.
"That's fine, Sweetie." Faith said putting three hotdogs in three buns, "Sydney, you only want relish right?" She nodded.
"I only like welish. Other stuff is very ugly." Sydney said. Faith put the condiments on each hotdog as requested.
"Okay. Here you go." Faith put each hot dog in front of the kids.
"Thanks, Mommy." Vincent said pushing his brown hair off of his forehead. Faith ran her hand through it and sighed slightly.
"I need to cut this mess. I need to cut Daddy and Charlie's too."
"No cut mine." Isaac said.
"I won't, Buddy." Faith said. "Eat." She walked into the living room and too the mannequin on which she was making Emily's wedding dress on. The dress would be done in a month or two if Faith got some more time to work on it. Faith began to sew sequins on the tiny straps. Emily was going to look so beautiful.
"Faith?" Bosco walked in the house pulling his coat off.
"Working on Em's dress." She said. Bosco walked in and kissed Faith's neck.
"It's looking beautiful." Bosco said. Faith chuckled.
"It's only the bodice. The skirt is going to be harder." Faith glanced at Bosco, "How was your day?" Bosco shrugged.
"We had a hold up and a shoot out and Franklin was sent to the hospital, but it was fine." He said. Faith eyes were wide.
"Wow. What a day. I've just been cleaning." She said.
"What are Isaac and Sydney doing here?" Bosco asked.
"Maren has some nice job interviews and Fred dropped Sydney off because he had to go to work. Jay and Em needed alone time. I got to play babysitter for everyone today." Faith said. Bosco wrinkled his nose.
"I don't need to know what they're doing." Bosco said.
"They're not doing that." Faith said, "Do you think?"
"I don't want to think." Bosco chuckled. Faith smiled softly
"If you go into the kitchen, there are some hot dogs boiling in a pot that I saved for you." Faith said. Bosco kissed her neck again.
"What would I do with out you?" he asked his wife.
"Probably starve and have no clean underwear." Faith said.
"Well, You're probably right." Bosco winked and went to the kitchen. Faith smiled softly as she continued to sew the dress. She listened to Bosco as he sang in the kitchen. She loved that man so much. She never knew she could do that before.

Faith dusted off the seat as she sat down on the train. She glanced at her husband. He didn't look too happy either.
"Next time the car is making noise, bring it in." She said.
"Drop it, Faith." Bosco growled.
"Have I told you how much I hated riding public transportation?"
"No. But I'm sure you'll tell me now wont you?" Bosco asked.
"Maybe I will. Maybe I wont." Faith smiled at him. He looked at her. How could he be mad at her when she flashed him those darling blue eyes? He slid his arm around her shoulders.
"This is going to be a good day at work." He said. "I can just feel it."

Emily hustled Sydney onto the train that was going towards New York City. Sometimes she hated living in Brooklyn and hated taking these trains with Sydney. She got rambunctious sometimes.
"Mama, can we have Donald's too?" Sydney asked as she climbed onto the seat. Emily wiped off the seat before sitting down.
"Yeah at lunch time we can." She said, "Please sit down, Sydney Faith. These things makes sudden stops and I don't want you flying." Sydney giggled.
"Like a bird?" She asked. Emily smiled and snagged her daughter.
"Yes like a bird and you're going to be pooping on the windows of cars." Emily tickled her.
"I no poop on windows" Sydney giggled wildly.
* * *
Bosco squeezed Faith's hands as they rode the train.
"When is Sully retiring?" Bosco asked. Faith laughed loudly.
"He's not that old, Bos." She said.
"Pushing fifty ain't he?" Bosco asked. Faith shook her head.
"No he isn't." She said with slight laughter. "He's forty-six and he's a fine officer. What about Davis? When is he going to retire?"
"In about thirty years, Faith." Bosco said with a smile. Faith grinned brightly. Suddenly, the train lurched causing Faith to fall into Bosco's lap. The train jumped the rail and crashed into the oncoming train. Everyone began to scream. Everyone was thrown from side to side as the train caved in around them. Faith crashed against the metal pole.
* * *
Emily kissed Sydney's head as she held her daughter.
"I love you, Baby." Emily said softly. Sydney smiled.
"I love you too, Mommy." Sydney said as a train jumped the tracks opposite them. Everyone was thrown about the car as it crushed in around him or her. The force ripped Sydney from Emily's arms. Screams could be heard from everyone. Smoke began to fill the cabin, as a fire started in the conductor's cubical
* * *
Bosco grunted as he opened his eyes. All he saw was metal and smoke. What had happened? Car accident? No. He was on a train. He sat up and looked around. The sight was horrific. People were lying there in heaps of metal, moaning and bleeding.
"Faith?" Bosco sat up holding his head. It pounded worse than when he had his last hangover. The train spun slightly around him, "Faith?" Faith grunted against the door. Blood trickled down her cheek, but she didn't notice it. She pushed off of it and stood up.
"I'm okay." She said. Bosco crawled over to his wife.
"You're bleeding." He hauled himself up and looked at her head, "God, it's deep. It needs stitches." Faith looked around.
"These people need more help than I do." She said, "What happened?" Bosco shook his head as he looked out the window.
"We hit a train. They looked as bad as us." He said.
"Everyone calm down. We will get help here. My husband and I are New York police officers." Faith called out trying to calm the hysterical people. "Where's our cell phone? I need to call the house."
"I don't know." Bosco crawled through the broken glass to a bleeding woman, "God we need a bus here now."
* * *
Emily stood up. She had only received a scratch on her head from broken glass. Her eyes were large as she looked around the train.
"Sydney?? Sydney? It's mommy. Where are you? Can you please answer me, baby?" Emily lifted up shards of metal looking for her daughter. People were looking around for help and for their friends.
"Sydney?" Emily reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone. She dialed her mother's cell phone number. "God, oh God." Emily was shaking. Where was her daughter?
* * *
Bosco finished wrapping up the woman, Claire's head.
"An ambulance will be here soon, I hope." Bosco said.
"There are five dead in the front." Faith said wiping the blood off of her forehead. "There's probably more. There's also a fire in the front."
"We need an ambulance." Bosco said looking at her as they heard the familiar ring of Faith's cell phone. "Where is it?"
"I don't know." Faith cleared all the debris to find the cell phone. She grabbed it and saw that it was Emily's phone, "Emily?"
"Momma there was an accident. I c-cant find Sydney." Emily cried, "We were on the train and there was a crash. I c-cant find Syd." Faith stared at her husband digesting what Emily had just said.
"Emily, you were on a train? Where were you heading?" Faith asked.
"New York." Emily trembled.
"Okay, Calm down, Emily. We were on the opposite train. We're in the other train, Baby." Faith said looking out the window. Her heart was pounding in her chest. Her daughter and granddaughter over there probably hurt. "Emily, listen. Just go look for Sydney, but be careful. Call me back when you find her."
"Okay." Emily whispered as she hung up. Faith looked at Bosco.
"Emily and Sydney are on the other train." Faith said. Bosco stood up quickly, almost falling back from the pain in his head.
"What? Are they okay?" Bosco asked.
"I don't know. Em couldn't find Sydney." Faith said, "They'll be okay."

Alex helped Faith down the hill.
"You should have let me put you on the gurney." Alex said.
"No. I'm fine." Faith said. Alex pushed Faith into a sitting position on the bus.
"You're bleeding. You're not fine." Alex said, "You have a deep head Lac that needs stitching." Alex grabbed some gauze.
"But I need to find Emily and Sydney, Taylor." Faith said. Bosco walked up to the bus. His head was bandaged up.
"I can't find them." He said. Faith closed her eyes.
"They have to be there." She said. Doc walked over to the bus.
"We have Emily." He said. Faith got up but Alex pushed her back down.
"Wait." Alex said as she wrapped Faith's head, "Go, but make sure you get a head scan when you get to the hospital."
"Okay." Faith mumbled. She and Bosco followed Doc to the bus. Emily sat in there, tears streaming down her face. "Em?" Emily looked up at her.
"I was just holding her and then…then she was gone." Emily said. "I don't know where she is. What am I going to tell Jay?"
"I don't know." Bosco said softly. Faith hugged her daughter softly.
"They'll find her. I promise." She said.
"Bosco, over here!" Ty stood up on the tracks. "We found her." Emily's eyes widened. Faith and Bosco bolted up the hill ignoring their own pain.
"Sydney? Sydney??" Faith cried loudly. She saw her granddaughter in Sully's arms with not a single scratch on her.
"Nana!!" Sydney sobbed reaching for her. Sully handed her over.
"She was sitting on the tracks. I guess she got thrown from the train, but she doesn't even have a bruise or a scratch on her anyway that I can see." Sully said. Faith kissed Sydney's hair.
"Let's go give you back to your mommy, Sydney." She said. Faith looked at Bosco filled with relief. Her own pain meant nothing now that she knew Emily and Sydney were okay.
Days later it was discovered that the track's that Faith and Bosco were riding on were covered in thick ice. Twelve people died and fifty people were injured. The accident closed the New York subway system for three days.
