Chapter 10: Long Time, No See

"Cruz?" Bosco repeated. He was so dumbfounded he couldn't find the words to say anything else.

"What? Bosco, you look like you just saw a ghost."

"HA! Yes it does doesn't it? Seeing I am looking right at you!"

"Bosco, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD! I WENT TO YOUR FUNERAL!" I'm going crazy Bosco thought to himself.

"Oh, that? Someone almost blew my cover, so I had to fake my own death in order to keep going on with it. I was working on it, but not on the streets. So how's things?"

"Well, for starters, I'm engaged. Let's see, I plan on adopting Miguel."

"Engaged? I thought Yokas was pissed at you!"

"Haha, funny. I'm engaged to Sasha."

"MONROE? WHAT?" she was angry. "I thought-"

"Well whatever you thought, you obviously thought wrong. I'm through with you," he added when he saw a look in her eyes like she wanted him back.

"I'm gonna go."

"Great."

*********

Sasha was waiting outside when Cruz came storming out. Sasha dropped her coffee at the sight of her.

"CRUZ?" she asked shocked.

"Yeah, what you thought I was dead too?"

"We all did."

"Were you happy about it?"

"Um, no." Sasha lied.

"Well you must have because your engaged to my boyfriend."

"EXCUSE ME? Your boyfriend? I think your mistaken, he was done with you along time ago."

"So I've heard"

"Just leave him alone, ok Cruz?"

"Sure, why not?"

"He's having a tough time right now."

"I'm having a tough time right now." she said as she walked away.

Something's up, Sasha thought to herself. She didn't know what, but there was definatly something fishy going on.
