Bosco was almost caught up with the suspect and knew his legs were going to
give out underneath him. There was so much pressure in his abdomen and he
was getting lightheaded. He wasn't about to let this one get away from him.
With all his strength he jumped as hard as he could wrapping his arms around the suspects leg; If was effective and the young man fell instantly to the ground. Bosco felt like he was suffering another panic attack. No matter how hard he gasped for oxygen he was coming up empty. The suspect used his free leg to kick Bosco in the face. Bosco let go of his leg and rolled to his side holding his chest.
Just as the suspect stood to run he was faced with the barrel of Faith's gun. Thank God Ty and Sully were in the area this time and were there to assist. Faith looked worriedly at Bosco, and waited for Sully to cuff the suspect before lowering her weapon and getting on her knees over Bosco.
"Want me to call for a bus?" Ty asked.
Faith just shook her head and rolled Bosco over to his back.
"Bosco can you hear me? Where does it hurt Bos? Can you breath?" Faith began to throw out questions to Bosco who seemed to understand every word.
Between heavy breaths, Bosco mumbled "My ribs Faith". His lip and nose were bleeding hard from being kicked and Bosco managed to smear the blood across his cheek.
"Breath Bosco just breath!" Faith said lifting Bosco's shirt up and she began undoing Bosco's vest. She could hear the sirens in the background already. "Bos, the bus will be here any minute just relax". Sully was back to help and he bent over and began helping Faith with the task of removing his vest.
The bus was pulling up just as Faith and Sully removed Bosco's vest and tank top to reveal a very beaten Bosco. There was a dark bruise the size of a baseball on his back and his chest was completely covered with many shades of bruising. There was tremendous swelling around Bosco's ribcage.
Faith looked down in horror and Sully just looked pissed.
"Who the hell did this to you Bosco? HUH!" Sully shouted putting his hands on Bosco's shoulders and making him look at him.
Bosco didn't get a word out; Carlos and Doc were already pushing Faith and Sully out of the way. ~~~~~
"We got that address on that cop like you asked boss." Said one of the thugs that had beat Bosco up.
"Good work Carter." Said Maddog.
"We already beat him up pretty good. What are you going to do with him?" Asked Carter.
"I have been in the business for fifteen years. No punk cop is going to screw what I got going up. You think him and Jasmine had a thing going? You think she was talking to him?" Maddog asked rolling the gold ring on his ring finger around with his thumb.
"I don't know boss, I think he was just passing by. He reeked of booze."
"I don't want to take any risks. Kill Jasmine, and make it look like an OD or something." Said Maddog.
"What about the cop?"
"Give me some time to think on that one. I am not going to make is easy on him."

Bosco was sitting up in only his jeans when Faith walked in. The doctor's had tightly bandaged up his ribs and his hand was now wrapped.
"What did the doctor say?" Faith asked.
"He said I should have got stitches in my hand. It is going to scar now. You think scars are sexy Faith?"
Faith just shook her head. "Anything broke?" She said pointing to his chest.
"Two ribs. Guess we won't be partners for a few days. Don't go finding a permanent replacement on me." Bosco said wincing as he lifted his arms up to put his shirt on.
