It seemed like an eternity waiting in the waiting room. Gusler had fallen
asleep in the chair next to her after two hours of reassuring words and
comforting. Faith thought back to all the happy and hard time Bosco and her
had together and that they might never experience anymore wonderful
memories. She prayed that Bosco wouldn't leave her now. Just than she
looked up to see the doctor coming trough the automatic doors pulling off
blood covered gloves. She looked in horror as he made his way towards her
with the gloves in one hand and then quickly shoving them into his coat
pocket.
"Hi, you must be here about Officer Boscorelli?" The Doctor asked extending a greeting hand.
"Yes, we are." Faith took hold of his hand and shook it. Gusler bolted awake at the sound of the doctor's loud manly voice interrupting his sleep.
"You must be Officer Yokas and you must be Officer Gusler, am I right?" the doctor asked pointing a questionable finger at Gusler.
"Um… yes sir." Gusler said shacking the doctor's hand.
" I'm Dr. Martin."
"Who is my partner?" Faith asked desperately holding back the tears that were threatening to burst out of her already redden eyes.
"Your partner suffered damaged to his left lung and his heart. The fall must have broken one of his ribs and punctured it and we all know that a person has some amount of damaged to the heart after their body temperature has dropped a great deal." The doctor explained.
"Can we go see him?" Gusler asked seeing that, that is what Faith wanted but was un
able to ask without bursting into tears.
"Yes you may, but for a short time." Dr. Martin said as he turned and lead them down the hall to where Bosco's room was in the ICU.
Once they reached the entrance to Bosco's room neither Gusler or Faith can tell that it was Bosco lying there looking all helpless and still on the bed. He was hooked up to so many machines that kept him here with her. Gusler was the first to take a step into the room, but then stopped and turned around to drag the shocked Faith in and sat her down in a chair next to Bosco's bedside.
"Bosco?" Faith called out.
"Bosco, please open your eyes, for me." She pleaded.
Bosco's eyes twitched and opened ever so slowly. He blinked then looked at Faith giving her a confused look.
"Bosco, do you remember what happened?" She asked with a tear sliding down her tear-streaked cheek.
"Hiya Boscorelli." Gusler whispered out from the foot of the bed where he stood looking at Bosco.
Bosco turned towards him and gave him an even more confused look.
"Bosco, do you remember who I am?" She asked hoping he would show some sort of sign that he did indeed remember her. Nothing, but the same confused look.
"Gusler go get the doctor." Faith said. She didn't have to say it again because He was already out the door in search for a doctor, and answers.
A minute later Gusler came into the room followed by a doctor.
"What seems to be the problem?" Martin asked.
"He doesn't seem to remember me." Faith said whipping away a tear.
With that the doctor rushed to Bosco's side and examined him.
"I was afraid of this." He announced.
"Afraid of what?" She halfway yelled out.
"Officer Boscorelli is suffering from memory loss." He sadly said lowering his head.
"Will he get it back?" Gusler blurted out from the foot of the bed.
'There is a chance he may and there is a chance he may not. We can't force him into remembering, that will cause him to slip farther from us or he can fall into a coma. But a coma is rare and unlikely." Dr. Martin said.
"Oh my gawd." Faith said under her breath.
"You'll have to leave now, visiting hours are over, you can came by tomorrow." Dr. Martin said leading them out the door.
At the precinct Davis and Sully had a tough time believing it.
"I don't believe it." Davis said slamming his locker shut.
" Well he gets out of the hospital at the end of this week or so. Maybe we can show him some of his things and pictures and stuff like that, that may jog his memory." Gusler spoke out in a quiet voice from the next row of lockers.
"Maybe, time will only tell." Sully said as they all left the precinct towards home.
"If only time were on our side." Faith whispered out under her breath. Then started to long walk home.
