Chapter 12: Setup

It had been two days since the fire, and Miguel was still out of it. Bosco didn't want to say anything about his mom until it was the right time. Bosco visited Miguel everyday but he still was sleeping. He was in Miguel's room when Sasha walked in.

"No change?" she asked softly.

"No, I think we'd better get back on the streets, we'll come again after work."

The two turned to leave and went back to their car. Just as soon as Sasha started, they had a radio call from Cruz.

"10-13, 10-13"

"Wow, again? Is she planning on faking a death AGAIN?"

"Maybe she'll actually die this time." Sasha said as she turned around to go to the location.

When they arrived Bosco said, "I'll go in. If i need backup I'll call."

"Be careful."

Bosco slowly walked into the abandoned building.All of a sudden a man popped out of nowhere, not just any man, Miguel's father.

"You son of a-" Bosco started.

"Don't start with me little man. You trying to take my son away from me?"

"You sure as hell ain't getting custody, you tried to kill hom and you succeeded in killing his mother. But guess what? He doesn't know yet because he's in a coma because of the fire you started!"

"Well, maybe I was only trying to help him! Trust me, I wouldn't hurt my own son."

"Trust me, I don't trust many people, and you definatly are someone I don't trust. And i am sure you would hurt your son, how or why though, i don't know!"

"Oh, Bosco knows nothing of trust, do ya Boscorelli? He could have avoided so many things if he just trusted me," said a dark female voice from a corner.

Bosco whirled around only to see Cruz, holding a gun to Sasha's head.

"LEAVE HER ALONE! SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU HURT HER I'LL KILL YOU!" he screamed.

"Aww, Bosco's in love. How sweet." she snickered. Bosco turned to see a frightened Sasha begin to cry.

"Cruz-"

"Bosco, you got in the way of a plan. You get in the way of a lot of things. Too many times Bosco, too many times. Now it's time to get in your way."

"Cruz, just let her go. And you buddy over there, you leave Miguel alone. I have had enough of you Cruz-" Bosco started yelling but then slowly realized something. He didn't have his vest on. So many times with Anti-Crime, he had no vest. He had been worried about Miguel so much lately, he forgot about himself. He had to calm down so no one would get hurt here.

"Ok, you know what?" Bosco started.

"What? What do you want now Bosco?" Cruz sneered. "Oh, you know what? I don't care. Greg, take him out back and finish him off!"

"BOSCO!" Sasha screamed.

Bosco got free from Greg White's grasp and punched him to get away. Sasha tried to get free from Cruz, but she was too strong, but she managed to get her gun away from her. Sasha hurried to try to get at it. Bosco ran over to help her when Cruz pulled out a spare gun. Sasha spun around with her gun, when-

-BANG BANG BANG-

three shots were fired. The shots came out from three diffrent people- Greg, Cruz and Sasha had all fired.

Bosco watched Cruz scream in pain and seconds later he fell to the ground.

"BOSCO!"
