"You didn't kill Cruz Bos," Faith whispered into his ear.
"Yeah who did Faith huh?" Bosco asked. He stopped crying and elevated his head up from Faith's embrace. He reached over the coach with one hand and grabbed his bottle while wiping tears from his face with the backside of his other hand. The blanket he had over his body fell to the floor exposing his bare chest again. He slowly lifted the bottle to his lips and Faith stuck her hand out and gripped the bottle tightly.
"No Bos, you are drunk enough. Why don't you sleep it off?" Faith asked agitatedly.
"Let go you are not my mother. This is exactly why I didn't invite you over so spare me the lectures" Bosco shouted yanking the bottle out of Faith's reach causing some to spill out and splash in his face.
"Don't act like this Bosco. I didn't come over here to feel sorry for you I came over to make sure you didn't need anything and to see if you were okay. Not to mention to make sure you didn't do anything foolish!" Faith said getting upset.
"I got all I need right here" Bosco said slamming another mouth full of whiskey back.
"Didn't the doctor give you pain medication? You shouldn't be drinking and taking pills you could die doin' stupid shit like that!" Faith half-shouted clenching her fists. Bosco was really pissing her off.
"I am already dead Faith don't you see?"
"Yeah, I see perfectly clear. Fine whatever; I will just see myself out than. Call me if you need anyone to talk to" Faith said standing up to leave.
"Don't be waiting my your phone" Bosco slurred.
Bosco laid his head back again as he heard a buzzing noise in his eardrums and the whole room became pitch black even though his eyes were still opened.
~~~~~
"I am so sorry Cruz! Please forgive me?" Bosco mumbled.
"I didn't know they were gonna hurt you. I was gonna dump your ass anyway. I am sorry I passed out on you I just didn't want to have sex with such a whore." Bosco said regretfully half-chuckling before his face turned back to a saddened expression.
"Bosco? Bos?" Faith walked back up to him and he had his eyes open but he was not responding. He was in the middle of a black out. She remembered her Father doing this several times growing up and just recently Fred. His eyes slowly shut and his head slumped forward as he passed completely out.
"I had to deal with Fred and his drinking now you?" She said taking the bottle out of his hand and walking over to the kitchen sink dumping the rest of the poison down the drain. She walked back into his bedroom and found a pillow on his bed. She brought it back to the coach and set it down next to Bosco before slowly lowering him to a comfortable sleeping position and picking the blanket up off the floor and covering him.
She than looked at her watch and looked at his apartment, they really did a number on it that was for certain. She had told Fred she would be home late and for once he actually understood.
She found a dustpan and broom and began to sweep up broken glass from the floor. She wanted to vacuum but didn't want to wake Bosco. She worried he would wake up in the middle of the night to piss or somethin' and step on some glass. That was the last thing he needed. She found some heavy-duty garbage bags underneath his kitchen sink and began to pick up small pieces of glass and wood from Bosco's carpet.
Just than Bosco's answering machine kicked on to play Bosco's greeting. She looked around and found his cordless phone and answering machine on the floor.
"Hello?" She picked up quickly before the beep.
"Faith?"
"Yeah?"
"Faith its Sully. What the hell are you doing over there so late?" Sully questioned.
"I just stopped by to see how Bosco was doin'. He is passed out drunk and I am just straighten' up. What's up?" Faith asked.
"Your too good for Boscorelli you know that?" Sully half-laughed.
"Yeah yeah tell me somethin' I don't already know!" She joked back.
"Well I was just calling to check on Bosco but since your there I know he is in good hands. We have a squad car headed there now. It is marked and should keep the bad guys away for the night," Sully said.
"Yeah for the night what about tomorrow night? We certainly aren't gonna catch these bastards with marked cars right outside Bos's apartment. You should see it they did a number on it. Whoever did this must really hate Bos to go through all the trouble," Faith said.
"I know Faith it is the best Lieu can do for now. I saw the number they did on Bos that was enough for me," Sully replied.
"Well if you were callin' to tell Bosco all that I will leave him a note; I think he is out for the night. Thanks a lot Sully it means a lot to me."
"Well actually I did it for Bosco but your welcome. I was actually calling to let him know they found a dead prostitute named Jasmine that fit the description he gave us earlier today."
"I am not following you Sully, Bosco and I have not really talked you think you could fill me in?"
"Sure Faith first thing tomorrow. Be safe Faith."
"You too, take care." Faith hung up the phone.

"We drove by that faggot cop's apartment and there is a marked car outside. Guess they are watching him closely." Carter said into his cell phone to Maddog.
"Typical pigs protecting their own garbage. I am so sick of this drama." Maddog said motioning for one of his bitches to step closer to him.
"I am pretty busy tonight Carter, take the night off. If there are cops outside his building again tomorrow kill every last one of those filthy pigs and than kill Maurice as slowly and painfully as possible."
"Anything you say Boss" Carter said grinning before hitting 'end' on his cell phone.
~~~~~
Faith left Bosco's apartment just before dawn. She had gotten carried away cleaning up for him. She even cleaned his tub and washed his dishes. Bosco had woke up while she was still there and he managed to crawl to the toilet on his own, so she let him be and didn't dare touch the toilet. Not that she wanted to touch it anyway.
~~~~~
Faith met Sully and Ty for lunch. Lieu gave her one more day off with pay and she was grateful. He always took care of her and Bos. Not too many people thought the world of Bosco but Lieu had more respect for him than anybody she knew.
Sully filled Faith in on the conversation Davis and him had with Bosco at the hospital. They had found Jasmine dead in an alley. Cause of death was an overdose to heroin. They wanted to talk to Bosco about it and perhaps get him to ID the corpse to see if it was the same hooker he had a run in with before Cruz was murdered.
"So you think Bosco is up for this?" Sully questioned Faith.
"He is in pretty bad shape, booze isn't helpin' matters. I don't know. I plan to swing by there before I go home to see if he crawled out of his toilet yet." Faith said.
"Well, rest assured everything will be fine tonight. Since Lieu is so short handed lately he is giving us the special assignment of watching Bosco's apartment tonight." Sully said.
"Gosh, I am sorry Sul," Faith began.
"Why we both volunteered." Davis added.
"Who is watching his apartment now?" Faith inquired.
"Unfortunately no one. We are short cops this week already. I wouldn't worry to much Faith the kind of scum that is out for Bosco usually doesn't crawl out of the sewer till well after dark" David said.

TBC!
