This is a story about Bosco, Faith, and the rest of the gang. No, not really, mostly just Bosco. :)



Maurice Boscorelli glanced up at the patrol car's review mirror, trying to block out Yokas's lecture, while attempting to locate a parking space on these New York, car covered, streets.

"Yesterday you really tried me Bosco, I mean running into that guy was just STUPID--"

He groaned and interrupted her, "All right Yokas, I get it."

She turned and stared at him, "No, I don't think you do." She took a deep breath and started again, "The guy had a GUN Bosco, a gun! Do you know what's in a gun? Something…"

He tuned her out, and immediately spotted, amazingly, although everywhere else on the street was completely stuffed with cars, a perfectly empty spot. Seemingly placed there just for him.

Glancing over at Yokas, and finding that her mouth was still moving up and down and noise was STILL coming out of her mouth, he turned his attention back to the parking spot.

And found a large brown sickly-looking mutt laying there.

Angry, Bosco furiously rolled down his window, "Hey! Hey dog!" The large mutt glanced up at him without moving his head, "Get outta' my spot!"

The mutt, giving the impression of a smile, rolled over onto his side lazily.

"C'mon! Move it!"

The mutt allowed his tongue to loll out of his mouth and rest on the road.

Really pissed now, what with receiving a lecture on one side, and being ignored on the other, he shoved his car door open and climbed out. "Dog! Move it!"

Yokas, sighing, opened her own door and slowly stepped out of the car, "Bosco! Calm down."

Bosco didn't even glance at her, "I'm kinda' busy here Yokas!"

She sighed again, leaning against the patrol car, she watched as her partner approached the dog.

Drawing near the mutt, Bosco ordered, "All right dog, let's move it. C'mon."

He crouched down a foot away from the dog, holding out his hand, intending to give the dog a small shove to help it on it's merry way.

The mutt lifted his head, watching intently as Bosco's hand came closer…and closer…

The dog's weary-looking sadness quickly transformed into rabid-mangy ferociousness, and he sunk his teeth into Bosco's unprotected hand.

"Bosco!" Yokas cried out as Bosco yelled in pain.

But the dog wasn't finished, the mutt jumped onto Bosco's chest causing his head to crack against the ground, then started trying to munch on Bosco's nose.

Yokas was running over, preparing to knock the dog over by jumping on it, when she heard a faint, but distinct gunshot down the street.

Then she heard one go off much closer. Yokas heard the dog 'yelp' once, but that was all.

Bosco grunted as he pushed the dead dog off of him. He had blood leaking down the back of his head, and some running from a cut on the side of his face. But that was nothing compared to his hand, which looked as if it had been in a fight with a sink disposal.

"Your hand looks pretty bad Bosco." Yokas commented, worried as she leaned down next to him.

He groaned, "I'm FINE Yokas." He stood up and dusted himself off with his uninjured hand, he looked down the street, "Gun went off?"

Yokas nodded, "Yeah, I'm surprised you heard it."

"Let's go then." he ordered, starting for the patrol car.

Yokas shook her head, "Don'tchya' think you hand should be checked--"

"Later." he interrupted shortly.

"Hey!" Bosco and Yokas turned and saw a young teen-age girl standing on the sidewalk across the street, "Hey, have either of you seen my dog?"

Apparently, she couldn't see the mutt's body from where she was standing.

Yokas and Bosco exchanged a small glance.

"Uh…" Yokas cleared her throat, "What's your dog look li--"

"AAAAAaah!" The teen screamed, running across the road and stopping next to her dog's corpse, and leaning down next to it, she screeched, "Brewer! What happened to Brewer?!"

An old couple happened to be passing at that same moment, and they watched as Bosco struggled to come up with an answer, "Well the uh…Brewer was laying in my parking spot--"

The old man from the couple shook his head in amazement, "You killed this young woman's dog just because it was sleeping in your parking space?"

"That's not wha--" he tried again, but the teen's sobs interrupted his excuse, "HE MURDERED BREWER!"

By this time, a small crowd had gathered, and the old couple was explaining what had happened to the inquiring folks.

"No that-- No, that's not what happ--" Bosco tried again.

Then another gunshot rang out from down the road.

Yokas grabbed Bosco's arm, "C'mon let's go."

Bosco looked back at the gathering of angry citizens who were talking amongst themselves and looking outraged.

He pulled his arm from Yokas and climbed into the car himself, shutting his door angrily.


They quickly sped away.

***

Bosco slammed down on the brakes and swung open his door.

Yokas quickly followed, crouching low, and pressing the switch on her radio, telling them her position and what they heard.

Bosco, looking around for any sign of any sort of offense, spotted smoke coming from a huge business building. It looked as if the fire had started on one of the highest floors, given that there was more smoke there then anywhere else.

"Think that's where the gunner came from?" Bosco asked, slowly standing.

Another gun blast was heard.

"Yeah," Yokas answered, "Definitely."

"I'm goin' in." Bosco told her, jogging towards the building, "Call the fire department, tell them to get their asses over here!"

"No--Bosco! There's a guy with a gun--!" Yokas gritted her teeth as he disappeared into the building, furious, but pressed down on the switch again, calling the fire department.

***

Bosco wiped the blood leaking down his face with irritation, as soon as he reached the tenth floor, he knew that by the time he got to whatever floor the guy with the gun was on, he would be too tired to do anything.

Knowing it was one of the stupidest things he would ever do in his life, Bosco ran over to the elevator and stepped in.

Taking a guess, Bosco pressed the button for the fortieth floor.

Once, the elevator stuttered, but that was all, the rest of the ride was worry free.

The doors slid open, and Bosco was immediately engulfed by dark smoke. He coughed, and stepped out of the elevator, not sure of which way to go.

"You killed her! You killed my wife!" He heard a man yell somewhere to his left.

And of course, he went left.

"Oh God! Oh G-" The same man screamed, but had to stop because of his coughs.

Bosco headed in the same direction, coughing himself, but wanting to be silent, hence he surprise the shooter.

Barely able to see his own hand in front of his face, Bosco started, when he saw a leg poking out from the room ahead of him. It looked charred.

Still hearing a man coughing, Bosco got lower to the ground, pulling out his gun with his decent hand, he wiped some blood from his eye.

Slowly making his way forward, being careful to avoid the charred leg, he watched in front of him. He spotted a pair of legs, standing in front of the coughing man, whom was bleeding profusely from his chest.

Bosco, trying to hold in his own cough's so he could surprise this asshole, he stood up and slammed the gun's butt-end on the back of the man's head as severely as he could manage.

Coughing, his eyes watering and his lungs burning for clean air, Bosco grabbed the bleeding man carefully around the middle and dragged him over to the 10by10 windows he had just noticed at the back of this huge office.

Reaching the thick glass, Bosco glanced around the room and finally spotted what he was looking for.

Letting the man drop softly to the floor, Bosco grabbed a paperweight off a huge oak desk, and tossed it to the side. Running behind the desk, coughing loudly, he pushed with all his strength, and finally… shoved it out the window.

He watched, satisfied, as the desk fell through the sky, glass shattering all around it.

Quickly, wiping blood and sweat from his eyes, Bosco grabbed the wounded man and hauled him to the window for some fresh air.

It was at this precise moment that he heard a loud 'bang' and immediately felt a bullet enter his back.

Bosco and the man fell from the fortieth floor of the G.E. Building, both of them already unconscious before they knew what was happening.
