Alicia's Revenge: Chapter Eleven
Bosco and Faith pulled up outside Ty and Sasha's place around 5:00. Bosco flung off his seatbelt and hopped out of the car. " Oh man, I'm starvin' " he complained, as he stretched he arms over his head.
" Maybe we should just go through MacDonald's on the way home." Faith suggested, as she unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car.
Bosco leaned over the car, his hands flat on the hood. " Na Ah. No way! Have you ever seen those kids eat, Faith? There a bunch of slobs! They're not eating anything in my baby!" he said, firmly. Although, he did have a smirk on his face.
Faith threw her head back and laughed. " Ya, I've seen them eat. They take after their father. Shove it all in and chew with your mouth open. Who cares about manners!" she teased, as she joined him on the other side of the car.
He slapped her on the rear as they walked toward the house. " Ya? Well I'll show you some manners when we get home, missy". he said, grinning.
She slid her hand into his and leaned over to his ear. " I'll hold you to that promise and I'll even wear the black lacy thing you like". she whispered, raising her eyes suggestivly.
He stopped walking and turned her into him. He leaned in and kissed her long and hard. His hands running through her hair. He was turning on the Boscorelli charm. Not that he needed to. She was already his.
She melted into his kiss, wrapping her arms around him. Kissing was a great stress release. They had perfected that art a long time ago.
" Mommy, daddy!" shouted Liv, coming toward them from the patio. She ran over the driveway, her blond pigtails swinging. She was dressed in a little sunsuit with matching pink sandals. She looked like a princess. They weren't clothes that Faith or Bos had bought.
Bosco and Faith parted in time for Liv to jump into her father's arms. He smothered her face with kisses. She squeeled as he tickled her.
Logan came around from the back yard, wearing a blue and red short set with new blue sandals, and ran into Faith's arms. " Mommy...I go gaga" he said proudly, as Faith scooped him up.
" You did? Did uncle Ty take you on his motorcycle?" she widened her eyes for emphasis.
He pumped his head up and down. Liv reached out for Faith, who put Logan down so she could hold her daughter. Bosco picked up his son and kissed his cheek.
" You wen't on Ty's bike? You're lucky, bud". he said, ruffling Logans blond curls.
" Daddy, you go gaga". he asked, putting his little hand on Bosco's shoulders.
Bos laughed. " No. uncle Ty wouldn't let daddy drive his motorcycle." he said as he lowered Logan to the ground.
"Darn right, I wouldn't let you". Ty's voice boomed down the driveway. Bosco and Faith looked up to see Ty and Sasha standing on the steps.
" Ya Davis, you're scared I might be a better driver than you". bragged Bosco.
" You didn't have to get them any clothes, you guys". Faith said to Sasha, as they approached.
Sasha waved her hand. " Nah, Faith. We wanted to. We love these little guys, don't we?" she said, bending down to Logan. " Give me some sugar, baby".
Logan threw his arms around her and kissed her cheek.
Ty brought out two popcicles from behind his back and held them out. " Ok guys, here's your treat".
Logan and Liv charged toward him. Both kids jumped up and down by his long legs. "Cicle...cicle". they chanted.
He handed them over, after telling them to go into the back yard.
" Oh, Ty, they really should have had their supper first". Faith began..
" Oh, we already fed them." Sasha said. " We didn't know when you'd be coming back. So, let's go to the deck and talk." she said, turning and leading Ty by the hand.
Faith shrugged at Bosco as they followed Sasha and Ty.
The four of them sat down at the picnic table. Ty kept looking back at the kids, making sure they were alright. Sasha looked like she had something to say.
Both Bosco and Faith got a sinking feeling in their stomachs. Faith leaned forward. " Ok, out with it..you're starting to scare me".
Sasha looked at Ty before beginning. She looked nervous. Faith couldn't help but be confused at the sudden change in the atmosphere. Something was definately up.
" I don't know how to say this, so I'm just gonna say it." she began, looking from Faith to Bosco. Bosco raised his eyebrows, suddenly nervous himself. He started to pick at the wood of the table.
" Ok, well, today we came inside and took the kids upstairs to have a nap. We put them in the spare bedroom, you know, the one with the pink walls. We came downstairs again and went outside for a few minutes. Then Ty decided that we should really stay inside until they woke up. We got into the kitchen and we hear this noise. It was the front door being slammed. Ty ran and checked but he didn't see anyone. So, we got nervous and ran upstairs to check the kids." she said, looking at Faith, who was turning white.
Bosco slapped his hand down on the table. "Out with it, Sasha. We don't need a twenty minute explanation". he said, irritated.
Faith slapped him on the arm and gave him a dirty look. He flushed. " Sorry, it's been a long day. Go on". he said.
Sasha turned her attention back to Faith. " Okay, so we went in to check on them and they were fine." she said, emphasizing the word 'fine'.
She reached into the pocket of her shorts and brought out a small charm bracelet, which she set on the table. " But we found this."
Faith picked it up and looked at it. It wasn't hers. " Maybe he found it in the grass or something" she said, lamely.
Bosco stood up. " What's the big deal about the bracelet? He could have found it anywhere. I don't mean to be an ass here, but I can't deal with anything else today," he said, frustrated.
Ty stood up and put his hand on his friend's arm. " Bosco. Sit down, man. There's more. We wouldn't be telling you any of this if it wasn't important." he said, firmly.
Bosco sat down.
" Ok, so what else". Faith said, anxiously. She started biting down on her lower lip. She knew that something bad was about to be said.
" Don't freak out, but we found it fastened to his wrist. He couldn't have done that to himself." she finished.
Faith felt her chest tighten. She couldn't breathe. She looked over at Bosco and saw her fear reflected back in his eyes. She felt her forehead. It was clammy, but amazingly hot. She started to stand up, when her legs gave out. She hit the ground before anyone could catch her.
Into the darkness she went. The only place left to go, where Alicia Garland hadn't invaded yet. Was it ever going to end?
