20 minutes before the time to meet, the Bus pulled up with Doc driving and Carlos in the passenger side. They had already radioed that they had minor engine trouble and were unavailable to take calls. Ty, Faith and Sully were crouched in the back, looking through the rear windows. They watched Bosco's car pull up and Rose get out. Bosco got out and leaned on the car. He had called Mikey and told him where to meet, and was waiting. Mikey showed up, fatherless as the time drew closer.
"Where's dad?" Bosco hissed as Mikey stopped before him.
"Dad said he would show up if he had time. And then drove off." Mikey told him about what happened and Maurice kicked his tire.
"Bastard! He better hope we get out of this, and Mercedes is fine, or I'm going after him." Bosco looked at his mother and frowned. Rose looked so worried and now she was upset because Anthony never showed up.
The time to meet came and went and no sign of anyone. Bosco was pacing and Mikey was holding his mother. Carlos was watching from the side mirror as he saw a little homeless girl walk by and stick something on the back door of the bus, then move slowly towards Bosco's car. Mikey watched the little girl who stopped before Bosco with a tape and an envelope. Bosco took the tape and looked at the kid. "Who gave this to you? Can you tell me that?"
The little girl points past the bus down the long narrow side road. It looked endless and with the large mass of cars and they would never really know quite where it came from. Nodding the little girl ran off. Bosco opened the envelope and read the contents.
Boscorelli Family,
You must really think I am an amateur. I knew your father wouldn't show up. I already notified him that Mercedes was all right. Not like he really cared. And the whole Bus thing, that's smart. But I know what Mercedes does for a living and I know she's been screwing. Not smart. Why don't you go back to her station and watch the tape? Then you'll know I am not joking around, and this is serious business.
PS. I thought I would give you this. I know it holds sentimental value and I wanted to make sure it didn't get lost.
Inside the envelope was a locket. He recognized it because it had MLB engraved on it. He opened it and saw it had his picture and hers. He held back sobs as he stared at the pictures. The eyes had been removed from the 2 images, making the pictures hauntingly eerie. He shuffled everyone into the car and drove to the bus where Carlos held the note.
"What's it say?" Mikey looked up at Carlos who showed him.
Did you enjoy her? Because it's my turn, Carlos.
Bosco growled and told them where to go, and they followed. Heading towards the 55 Fire Station.
"Where's dad?" Bosco hissed as Mikey stopped before him.
"Dad said he would show up if he had time. And then drove off." Mikey told him about what happened and Maurice kicked his tire.
