Chapter 17
Faith followed Doc over to the bus.
She could see the concern al over his face.
"Look Faith I understand that Bosco hates hospitals and is hesitant to go there, but he really needs to", Doc said "I am not a real Doctor but i can tell you that Bosco is a very very sick man right now."
Doc put his hand on Faith's arm, "I am afraid that if he does not go in and get checked out, find out what is wrong with him, then it is going to turn into a really bad situation for Bosco really fast," Doc finished.
"OK, listen Doc, I am gonna do everything in my power to make him go in, he is so stubborn and...I just don't know...I mean he HATES the dr. when he just needs like a couple of stitches, and he has to know that they are gonna run a bunch of tests on him if he goes in now" said Faith.
"I know he listens to me some of the time but this is gonna be really hard; I will try my hardest Doc, and listen I really appreciate you and Kim coming out here like this to help him, and i know he isn't gonna say it to you but i know that does too."
Faith and Doc walked back over to Kim and Bosco at the RMP.
Bosco still had his eyes closed and looked like he was asleep.
"How's he doin?" Faith asked Kim.
"Well, he hasn't moved, but the (saline)bag is almost done and that should help him at least feel a little stronger, I don't think his fever has gone down any though and that is not a good thing Faith", Kim said to her.
"Bosco", Faith bent down to his level," hey how ya feelin?"
Bosco opened his eyes.
They were all glassy and he struggled to focus for a minute.
"Like a million bucks", he said when he saw it was Faith, "and you know Faith, thanks for dragging these two into this" he said sarcastically.
"Look Bosco..."Faith stopped.
"Look I"m not gonna argue with you about this anymore OK? Is the IV helping you any?" she asked him.
Faith was in no mood to argue with Bosco.
She had been busting her ass for the past two days to make up for his slack, and was exhausted, not to mention all of the worrying had her mentally worn out too.
"Yea I actually feel OK" Bosco replied, but he was not telling the truth.
The truth was, he actually felt so horrible that he felt like he could cry.
He wondered how much longer they had on shift, because his bed was calling him, he had never wanted to go home so badly in his life.
Bosco felt like he could sleep for a week, he just wanted to go home and crash, his body feeling like it had just gone though war and lost, but he was certainly not about to tell Faith that.
Kim had come back over to Bosco and was starting to take the IV out of his arm when all of a sudden the radio went off.
Adam 5-5-3 respond to a possible child abduction and beating..."
"55 Charlie and 55 David respond to a domestic disturbance...possible child abduction..."
Faith could hear their radio going off too, the same address as Doc and Kim, "at least they were going to the same place", she thought, then if something happened to Bosco, they would be right there.
Kim quickly finished up on Bosco as Faith got in the driver's side of the car.
"You good to go Boz? Cos if you cant handle this then i will call us out" she said to him.
He shook his head no, "Go Faith I am fine", he responded, domestic abuse, especially when a child was involved always got his juices flowing.
"55 David responding" Faith said over the sirens and they were all soon pulling out of the old abandoned lot to the call.
Faith followed Doc over to the bus.
She could see the concern al over his face.
