Take A Look in the Mirror
[A sequel to Life's Little Surprises.]
After Bosco and Faith's honeymoon, the couple recieves some unexpected surprises...what'll happen in the next part of this story?
~*~*~*~*~
SIX MONTHS LATER!!!
Bosco sat uncomfortably in the passanger side of the black anti-crime car. The past few months had afforded him many an oppertunity to work with Cruz, all of which he was obligated to take. They were headed off to go bust a drug lead. Bosco had made the switch to Anti-Crime when he heard Cruz was transfering, turns out her plans changed and his spot in Narcotics was given away, so he was stuck...Cruz's anti-crime groupie boy once more.
"What's your deal, huh?" she asked
"What?"
"You're quiet."
"I have nothing to say to you."
"God damn Bosco will you let it go?"
"What?"
She slammed on the brakes sending Bosco flying into the dashboard.
"F*ck!" he yelled
"I can not believe you!"
"What are you talking about?"
"After all you and me have been through, you go and marry that....that Faith!"
"What in the hell are you talking about?"
Cruz mumbled incoherantly about her plan not working and suddenly she pulled out her gun. She trained it on Bosco and shot three times. She got out of the car and ran, disappearing into an alley. Bosco managed to reach the radio.
"10-13, 10-13...Officer Down" he gave his location just before his eyes shut and everything faded.
~*~*~*~*~
"Where is he?" Faith said walking into the sea of officers, "Where is my husband?!"
"Faith..." Sully called, motioning toward a room where there was a large clump of officers. She pushed her way to the front and peered through the windows of the room. She saw them slip a tube town his throat, but then the room errupted in a panic and they brought out the shock paddles.
"No..." Faith said over and over as they shocked him. It was 3 times before they got the rhythm back and rushed Bosco off to surgery, leaving Faith downstairs in a pile of tears. She walked in the room where he was in and grabbed his badge off the floor. He wore it on a chain that had a leather holder. She took it out of the holder and watched as a picture of all of them fell out of the back. She fell to her knees as sobs racked her body.
~*~*~*~*~
"Faith.."said Sully softly, placing a hand on her shoulder, "I called Rose..gave her the update. She's gonna leave Noelle and the boys with your neighbor...bring Emily with her up here...She called Matt and Tracy, too. They're going to be here in a while."
Faith nodded and continued to twirl Bosco's badge around in her hands. It'd been almost two hours and she'd heard absolutely nothing. She was trying to prepare herself for the worst, praying it wouldn't actually happen.
"There's something else, Faith."
"What?"
"They have a suspect..witness placed them there..."
"Who?"
"Cruz."
Faith saw red as anger infected her whole body.
"What?"
"We're looking for her now..."
"Son of a BITCH!" she said slamming her fist into a wall. Usually, Faith was the levelheaded one and Bosco would be the one with angry outbursts but this time she couldn't hold it. The same woman who put her in a wheelchair for months had put her husband on the edge of death and she wasn't sure he'd make it.
~*~*~*~*~
After her episode with the wall and getting her hand stitched up, Faith sat in the waiting room of the OR still awaiting news of her husband. It'd been almost 4 hours. Emily,Matt, Tracy and Rose had arrived and were sitting in the room with Faith and about 20 other officers from the precient, amongst them were Sully, Ty, Monroe and Swersky. Cruz was yet to be found...there was a massive reward for her arrest and the entire city was on alert. Faith wanted to go out and find her herself, but she knew that her husband would need her. A dull silence came over the room as a doctor walked in. Faith rushed up to him, here eyes wide with fear and hope all at once.
"Your husband sustained massive injury. One of the bullets nicked his artery, causing his heart to be deprived of blood. We managed to repair all the damage, but the next 24 hours are critical. If he lives through the night, then it's probable he'll live but it's touch and go at this stage."
"Can I see him?"
"One at a time, but yes."
She looked at Rose and Emily once more before following the doctor down the hall to Bosco's room.
"He's a fighter" the doctor said leaving Faith in the room with her husband.
"Oh Bosco..." she said, tears falling freely down her face. She took his hand in hers and kissed it gently. "She'll pay..I swear to God she'll pay."
"Faith..." said Sully popping his head in the door.
"Sul...what's goin' on?"
"It's Cruz."
"They found her?!"
"Yea. She's at the precient. I thought you should know."
Faith looked down at her husband as his chest rose up and down with the movement of the ventilator. She kissed his head and stormed out of the room.
"I have to go to the station for awhile. I'll be back as soon as I can. Call me if he wakes up." she said to Rose and Emily as she walked past the waiting room. She ran out of the hospital and accelorated her car as she drove to the precient.
~*~*~*~*~
"Where is she McGrale?" asked Faith impatiently to the guard in booking.
"In with the Captian in his office."
She stormed up the stairs without another thought and threw the door open.
"You bitch-" she screamed charging Cruz, knocking her to the floor.
"Seargent Boscorelli, you are out of line!"
Officers rushed in the room and peeled Faith off of a bloody Cruz.
"She shot me then she shot my husband. What is it Cruz, huh? My kids next?"
"Bite me" she muttered
"Why? Can you answer me that? Why'd you shoot him?"
"Because my-" she mumbled the last part
"What?"
"Because my plan didn't work! He was supposed to marry me, not you! I'm supposed to have his children not you!!! You took EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME!"
"You've never had him completely." she said storming out of the room. She sat on a bench to compose hereslf when her cell rang.
"Faith, he's awake."
