The day the world stopped Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I own nothing
The four officers ran down the hall toward the emergency room not knowing what to expect. And nothing could have prepared them for what they saw. As they reached the end of the hall that opened up to the er they stopped, there mouths opened in awe, it looked like a war zone, there were people running everywhere, some were bleeding, and there were others that were not running, they were just laying on stretchers or on the floor, some were dead. It was as if it were all a nightmare and they all needed to wake up!
Davis was the first to speak "Faith we need to find someone to take a look at your arm".
"I'll be okay Davis, lets just see what we can do to help for right now" she answered him.
Bosco spotted his mom laying on a stretcher across the room and started to run to her, praying the whole way that she somehow made it through this alive. He couldn't loose her, she was all he had left. Faith followed behind him hoping the same thing.
As he reached her he saw Mary Proctor was with her holding her hand, and talking to her.
"Mary?" was all Bosco could get out.
"She woke up when all the shooting started" she said and looked down at Rose.
Bosco looked at his mom, she was alive, he couldn't say anything he had a lump in his throat the size of a baseball. He just smiled down at her and patted her arm.
"She can't talk because of the tube in her throat, but from what I can see she is going to be fine" Mary said.
"Thank you" Bosco said finally finding his voice.
"Hey ma, I gotta go and see what I can do to help here, are you going to be okay if I go?" he asked.
His mom nodded her head and smiled at her son. She had been so scared that he was hurt or worse, she couldn't go through it again.
"Faith your bleeding, let me take a look at it" Mary said to Faith.
"No, I'm okay" she started to say when Bosco interjected and told her to go with Mary and get it looked at.
"I'll be right here waiting for you" Bosco said to Faith with a smirk on his face. It was then that he remembered what she had said to him in the lounge about not loosing him too. He wondered what that had meant. But decided this wasn't the time to ask.
"Okay Boz you win" she said and went with Mary to get looked at.
Bosco started walking around and found that Davis had found Sully. He was laying on the floor with his back against the wall. There were a couple of doctors with him, they were trying to work on his leg.
"Hey man did you find your mom?" Davis asked Bosco.
"Yeah, she is okay, in fact she is awake and Mary said from what she can see she is going to be fine" He said looking at Sully.
"How about him" He nodded toward Sully
"Bullet went straight though his knee, the doc said it is probably shattered, but until they can get an x-ray they won't know for sure" he said looking down at his partner.
"Bosco is that you" Sully asked obviously in pain.
"Yeah Sul it's me" he answered.
"Are you and Faith okay?" he asked.
"Yeah Sul we are fine, Faith is with Mary right now getting her shoulder looked at" he told him.
"How are you doin'?" he asked Sully.
"Just Peachy" he grunted as the doctors tried to stabilize his leg.
"I am going to go check on Faith" Bosco told Davis.
"Okay man, let us know how she is" Davis told him.
Bosco found Mary near the nurses station and asked her about Faith.
"She is going to be fine Bosco, the bullet only nicked her shoulder, the doctor patched her up and she is in there getting dressed" Mary told him and pointed to a curtained area.
"Thanks again Mary for everything" Bosco told her and went off to check on his partner.
Bosco stopped outside the curtain before going in, he was just about to say something when he heard her crying. It always broke his heart to hear her crying, and he was usually the one who was at fault for her being upset. He didn't say anything, he just walked into her room and there she was sitting on her cot with her face in her hands crying. He walked up to her and quietly said her name.
"Damnit Bosco" she said startled. She didn't hear him come in. "Don't you know how to knock?" she asked him while wiping her eyes with her hand.
"I'm sorry, I heard you in here and wanted to make sure you were okay" he said not making eye contact with her.
"Well I am NOT okay Bosco" she yelled at him. She couldn't hold it in any longer, her walls were coming crashing down and Bosco was at the blunt end of it.
"Do you want me to call Fred for you and have him come down and pick you up?" He asked.
She started to laugh, which he thought was a little strange, maybe they gave her pain medicine he thought.
"Fred is gone Boz, he left me the day we found Mikey" she said a new batch of tears forming in her eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked finally realizing what her comment from earlier meant.
"I didn't want to add to your problems" she said looking at him.
"Were partners Faith you shoulda told me, I could have helped you" He said feeling bad that he wasn't there for her when she needed him.
"I know I am sorry, I just didn't want to add more to your plate, you have so much going on with your family right now" she said crying openly now.
"YOU are my family Faith and don't ever forget it" he said with tears starting to form in his eyes. The day was taking its course on all of them
"Come on he said lets get out of here, we can go somewhere and talk" he said.
She got up and followed him out of the curtain area, wondering what would happen next. She had already decided that her life couldn't get much worse. But of course she had been wrong before.
They walked over to Davis and Monroe and told them they were going to get out of there for a little while. "Davis you have my cell number if anything comes up, if I don't hear from you in a couple of hours we will meet you at the precinct" Bosco said.
"Ok Boz, take care and I'll call ya" he said.
Bosco also told Mary he and Faith were going to get cleaned up and if anything changed with his mom to let him know. She had been taken up to a regular room a while ago and was sleeping. Bosco didn't want to disturb her. She had been through so much.
