4:30 a.m. Present Day
"Hey Doc, have you seen Bosco?" Faith asked concerned.
"Yeah, he's in the doctor's lounge." He said pointing behind him.
"Thanks!" Faith replied.
"Hey Faith", Doc held her back gently, "Is he okay?" Doc asked with a troubled look in his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Yokas asked somewhat dryly.
"Well he just seems overly concerned for the victim we just brought in. I mean more than usual. I don't know maybe it's me but it just seems like...did he know her maybe?" Doc asked with a combination of curiosity and concern.
"I don't know maybe!" She replied sarcastically. "I mean, hell, we all know Boz has been with his fair share of women. It's definitely possible! Look I'm going to go check on him. Talk to later!" Yokas tilted her head up in swift motion and walked away towards the doctor's lounge.
It definitely wouldn't surprise me!! Faith thought shaking her head in disgust at the many sexual escapades she had to sit and listen to throughout her years with Bosco as her partner.
Faith walked past the glass enclosed room where they were working on the young woman. She couldn't help but turn her head and look. She suddenly felt of pang of panic and sorrow. I really hope she pulls through!!!! God, I really hope Bosco doesn't know her!!! What away to run into an ex- fling!!!! I hope he's okay!!! Faith bit down on her lower lip and took a deep breath in and walked into the doctor's lounge.
She found him with his body slumped back in one of the chairs in the lounge with his hands on his head like he was trying really hard to dig something out of it.
"Hey Bosco", she said softly.
He turned his head keeping his hands where they were.
"Hey!" He said turning his head back.
She slowly made her way to him and sat down next to him.
"Are you okay, Bos?" Faith said delicately, staring straight in front of her.
He let his hands fall hard on his lap and snapped his head up and looked at her.
"Why!....Did Doc say something to you?" Bosco ripped out.
"Look Bosco, he's concerned about you. I mean he asked me if you knew this girl? That you were asking questions, you know more then usual?" Faith asked calmly.
He let out a deep sigh and sat up and leaned forward immediately placing his head in his hands and rubbing his face.
Faith turned her head slightly and looked at her partner.
"You want the truth!" Bosco shot up out of the seat and turned to her. "I don't know!!! Faith, I don't know!!! She looks familiar to me. When I saw her face, I don't know I just.Oh man!! I don't know I can't remember!!! And it's really startin' to piss me off!!!" Bosco raised his voice and kicked the wall.
Faith still sitting, looked up at him and said calmly. "Do you know her cause maybe you slept with her!!"
Bosco snapped his head back at her.
"What!!! You don't think I remember what the girls I've slept with look like? Do really think that poorly of me Faith? I mean I may not remember their names but...Geeze, to say that I would forget there face.." Bosco couldn't bear to finish what he had to say. "I'll meet you outside!!" He stormed out.
He had to admit, what she said he understands why she said it. Hell, he even thought that at first but shook it off because he honestly does remember all their faces, names, well that's a different story. But the fact that she threw it in his face like that. It hurt!!! A lot!!! He knew she didn't approve of his lifestyle choices but it was uncalled for at that time, even though it was deserved.
He passed the glass room again and looked inside. She was gone. All that remained were blood spatter all over the floor, bloody gauze pads and bloodied gloves. It instantly reminded him of Miguel and what he saw after the boy had been shot.
He closed his eyes as what he saw before him intertwined with his memory.
"They brought her up to surgery." Doc said over his shoulder.
"What the hell do I care!!" Bosco responded coldly to Doc as he thundered out the door.
Doc just stood their with his mouth agape as to how Bosco's demeanor had drastically changed from when he was in the doctor's lounge before.
Faith hung back and watched her partners reactions to Doc's comment. She knew it was her fault. She felt bad. Really bad!!!
"What the hell was that all about?" Doc looked at Faith and back at the door.
"Oh that!!...That would be my fault!! I'm sorry Doc it wasn't meant towards you. Look I gotta go. I'll see you later." Faith said and walked passed Doc.
Faith found Bosco leaning against the passenger side of the RMP, his head leaning back looking up into the sky.
Faith walked up to him and stood by the side of him looking down.
"I'm sorry that was totally uncalled for." Faith said apologetically.
Bosco replied to her still starring up. "Yup!!! Can you open the door so we can get out of here!" And turned towards the locked door.
Faith knew she deserved this. The classic Boscorelli cold shoulder. She looked down at the keys. "Yeah, move" she said.
Bosco moved out of the way while Faith unlocked the door and walked to the other side. Bosco got in and slammed the door, hard.
Faith flinched as she heard his rage with the slam and opened her door and got in and drove away without a word.
Bosco starred out the window the whole time, while Faith snuck glances at him. What's eating at him? I wish he would just tell me, already??? Faith thought to herself.
Bosco couldn't take it anymore, the silence was driving him crazy. As much as he was pissed at Faith's words, he needed to talk.
"Does she look familiar to you at all Faith?" Bosco said softly looking at the dark street ahead.
Yokas surprised by the question, replied, "What do mean?"
"I mean did you see her face? Does she seem at all familiar to you, Faith Yokas?" Bosco said a little more bitterly now.
"No, Bosco she didn't. I mean I really didn't get a good look at her face not like you did. Why are you asking me this?" She asked questioningly.
He shook his head and replied, "I don't know" His tone low. "I just thought that maybe she was someone we have run into together. I guess I'm just graspin' at straws but Faith I honestly know I've seen her somewhere. I'm not going crazy!" He put his head back on the headrest and swallowed.
Faith put one hand one top of his and squeezed it.
"Bosco, crazy is a step up for you!" She said with a giggle
Bosco chuckled at her attempt to lighten the situation.
"Yeah, I guess!" He straightened up in the seat. "We might as well head back to the house and start our paperwork." Bosco said .
"Yeah, sure.. Boz are you going to be okay?" Faith asked. "Yeah, I will be." Bosco said squinting his eyes. But he knew the truth was, he wouldn't. The identity of this young woman was stuck in his head and damn it to hell he was going to find out who she was.
"Hey Doc, have you seen Bosco?" Faith asked concerned.
"Yeah, he's in the doctor's lounge." He said pointing behind him.
"Thanks!" Faith replied.
"Hey Faith", Doc held her back gently, "Is he okay?" Doc asked with a troubled look in his eyes.
