Title- "Goodbye"

Written- Sunday, January 4th, 2004

Disclaimer- I do not own any of the characters, just the thoughts I put them in. They belong to NBC/John Wells. Whoever else. Not my problem. R&R if you want. This was just on my mind a while back, thought I'd post it.

**Bosco stood between rows of benches. A light wove around him, almost translucent. He saw everyone ahead, all standing around the same area, looking at his picture. The picture sat just above the coffin. He took a deep breath and concentrated on it. He remembered that day. He'd just gotten done being with Nichole, before the pictures were taken of the squad. He smiled slightly, as he saw a past memory of himself and his ex. Her blonde hair was being blown in the wind, and her hand was tracing the outline of his face. He looked up from the ground.

"I cant believe he's dead." Kim said sadly, her face said it all.

No one had ever guessed Bosco would be the next to go, out of all of them.

Bosco watched her, sympathetically. She'd gone through a lot in her years at the 76th. Bobby dying, Alex dying, jimmy.

He looked to Doc and Carlos. "Doesn't seem real." Doc puffed, as he shook his head looking at the framed picture. "I think he was the strongest of all of us."

Carlos looked at the picture now, "Then how is it he's the one dead, and we're all alive?" Doc gave Carlos a look, not knowing how to answer. He didn't.

Sully coughed, "Smart ass." Everyone looked at him, a little shaken by his cursing.

Sully shrugged at them, "Well, he was a smart ass." Bosco grinned at Sully's words. "But a damn good cop."

Ty nodded, and took a couple steps forward, touching the coffin. "Damn good friend."

Sully looked at Ty, almost worried.

Ty stepped back, and re opened his eyes. "Bye Bosco."

Everyone, including Sasha, bowed their heads, even Jimmy.

Bosco blinked and closed his mouth. He wanted to walk forward, scream that this was a joke. But he'd just go through them.

They wouldn't ever know, they were his second family.

Everyone's eyes were back open, as Kim stepped forward to do as Ty had done.

Faith, who had remained motionless, now did the same. She gave Kim half a grin, before turning it back to a frown. "Love you Bosco." Faith looked up at the ceiling, as though she meant the sky.

Everyone stared at his picture.

Almost at the same time, they all said, "Bye Bosco."

Bosco left his hands down at his side, as he gave one last look to everyone, and his picture.

He turned around, and walked slowly out of the slowly opening church doors.

The light, followed him, and seemed to make a path for him.

Before he disappeared into the white, he whispered, "Love you guys."

**And yes I cried inside when I wrote this. I hope they never kill Bosco off, but, this is what I think it'd be kind of like.. if they did.** R&R if you want. This was just to show what I was thinking.
