Revenge
Chapter 34

Rose, Trisha and Mikey watched nervously as Billy came out of the building half carrying Faith. They frantically searched behind the two for any sign of Bosco.
A moment later they saw two firefighters emerge from the smoke carrying Bosco. Kim and Carlos ran with the stretcher to meet them. They tried to cross the street, but the police officers controlling the scene wouldn't let them.
"That's my son. I have to get over there!" Rose said angrily, pushing against the officer that was holding her back. Lieutenant Swersky came up behind her and took her by the arms. "Mrs. Boscorelli. They'll bring him over here and then you can see him. It's too dangerous over there. Look, here they come," he told her, turning her to see that they were moving the stretcher toward the ambulance and away from danger.
A moment later there was a terrible noise as the house totally collapsed, leaving what was left of Paul Richard Peterson inside.
Billy was helping Faith along behind the stretcher and she could be heard saying, "Kim, he's not breathing. Please. Please." Then Faith fell into a coughing fit from all the smoke she'd received. The smoke was making her sick and she gagged in between coughs.
As Carlos and Kim placed the stretcher into the back of the ambulance, Carlos began doing chest compressions on Bosco. Billy took the oxygen from Kim and helped Faith get the mask on her face despite her fights against it. She just wanted to make sure that Bosco was okay.
"Bosco!" she yelled as he was loaded into the stretcher.
"C'mon, Faith," Billy said, trying to take her to another ambulance that was waiting.
Faith broke free and would not leave Bosco.
"No. I'm staying with him. I'm not leaving. Bosco, you hold on," she called to him.
"It's okay. Let her say for a minute," Carlos said as he was working on Bosco. They were starting IVs and breathing for him. "Just keep the oxygen on, Faith," Kim instructed her as Billy tried to put the oxygen mask back on Faith.
Faith used the handle on the back of the ambulance door to help hold herself up as her vision began to blur and spin. She heard the voice of Billy Walsh trying to get her to sit down on the stretcher that the other medics had brought to her, but fought against him.
She felt herself losing the fight to stay conscious, but continued to fight against the medics trying to take care of her.
She felt an arm around her and heard Rose saying, "Faith. You did great. Now let them take care of you. You've done all you can for Maurice. Now it's up to the medics and God. He'll need you to be strong, Faith. Let the medics take care of you."
"I'm sorry, Rose. I'm sorry I didn't find him sooner," Faith said as she relaxed a little and let the medics put on her oxygen. She felt her world grow dark. Swersky, Davis and Sully were with Faith as Rose turned her attention to her son.
Trisha was standing at the back of the ambulance, frozen in fear, as she watched them work on Bosco. "Please, God. Let him be okay," she said quietly in prayer.
Rose watched in horror as Carlos continued CPR and Kim worked on getting medications into him through the IVs. They were talking on the phone to the hospital and getting instructions on what to do. "Maurice. You hold on. Maurice," Rose called to her son as Mikey put an arm around her.
"C'mon, Mo. Fight," Mikey urged him.
Kim was quickly dressing his wounds. "I need a driver!" Kim yelled out of the ambulance as she and Carlos continued to work on Bosco.
"Walsh!" yelled the fire Lieutenant. "Medics need a driver. That's you."
"Yes, Sir," Walsh answered removing his breathing tank. He jumped into the ambulance. "Whenever you're ready," he called back to the medics in the back.
"Go!" Kim yelled as Carlos continued CPR and Kim, having finished administering the medications and controlling the bleeding, was ventilating Bosco. Another firefighter closed the back doors of the ambulance, giving the familiar thump two or three times on the door to let the driver know that it was okay to pull away.
Billy flipped on the siren and pulled quickly away, followed by Faith in the other ambulance.
Lieutenant Swersky, Ty and Sully looked on as the ambulances pulled away, leaving the Boscorelli family standing in the middle of the street.
"Davis, take the Boscorelli's to Mercy. Sully, go get Faith's husband and kids and bring them to Mercy. Desk Sergeant has the address - they're at her in-laws," the Lieutenant instructed.
Ty went and got Rose, Mikey and Trisha and took them to the hospital in 55-Charlie. Sully got into Faith's car, 55-David, and drove toward Faith's family.
