Later that morning at the hospital…
………………………………............................................................................................................................
"Hey, Faith"
"Hey" I say turning my attention to Davis, Sasha and Sully who were walking towards me.
"Something wrong?" Davis questions pointing towards Bosco's room down the hall.
"No, No… he uh… he just wanted some space, some time alone" Faith says following the direction Davis was pointing to with her eyes. "So, what's up, anything new on Mann?"
"Just the fact that we know he has been in the wind since yesterday evening" Davis says
Faith looks up to see the 3 of them sharing glances as if there's something more to what Davis has said. "And..?"
Sully lets out sigh, "uh Faith, Swersky is coming down later to question Bosco about his father"
"What about his father?"
"We got to talking with the guy who drove the bomb into the wake and he mentioned an Anthony Boscorelli. He said that he had cut a deal with Mann if he gave up the address of the funeral home that the wake took place at" Sully says now looking down at the floor in disgust.
"That son of a bitch" Faith whispers "well I guess it makes sense, from what Bosco has told me it sounded like his father had suddenly came across a lot of money over the past while and he had the balls to give up his son for a damn reward, why not settle for big money too, right?"
"So umm how is Bosco doing?" Sasha says changing the topic "Did you tell him about his mom yet?"
"I didn't have to tell him, he already knew….I guess when they bought him into one of the ER rooms his mother was beside him when she died" Faith says "but other then the torment he's been put through he's okay."
"Can we go see for him for a bit?" Sasha asks.
"Well he was upset when I left him, but that was a couple hours ago so maybe he has cooled down by now" Faith says "come on, we'll see if he wants visitors."

"what do you want from me Mike, you lied about the dope, you lied about being clean!"
"I am clean!"
"No, your dealing that's not clean!"
"but still I think we should hold off on the ceremony just one day"
"it's the right time Ma"
"What do you believe?"
"it doesn't matter"
"yeah it does we're brothers, we're family!"
"family?"
Knock, knock
"Bos?"
Bosco turns his head quickly startled out of his thoughts "Yeah"
"How you doing, man?" Davis asks as he quietly takes a seat closer to the foot of the bed.
"I'm alive" Bosco says and acknowledging everyone else who has entered the room, stopping his gaze at Faith.
"Faith, I'm sorry about before…I didn't mean to scare you off like that" Bosco says with a small grin.
"That's okay….I understand" Faith says now sitting close to the bed. Bosco gently places his hand on top of Faith's and Faith gives him a smile.
"So what's the news, cause I know you guys well enough that you wouldn't just come to stare at me" Bosco says looking from Sasha to Sully then Davis.
Davis lightly slaps the side of Bosco's leg "Ooh is that so, you know us that well huh"
"Yeah that is so and I would get up and kick your ass right now for hitting me if it wasn't for the fact that I'm an injured man right now"
"Should we add that to your list of excuses now" Davis says jokingly lightly slapping his leg again.
"Alright, alright children" Sully says annoyed knowing that their little back and forth could go on forever if he didn't put a stop to it.
"Yeah stop it" Sasha adds playfully hitting Davis upside the head "but Bosco we should probably mention that Swersky is going to come down and talk to you about something important with the detectives from Narcotics"
"About what?"
Sasha draws in a deep breath "your father."
"My father?" Bosco asks looking confused "why would they need to know about my father."
Faith takes hold of Bosco's hand squeezes lightly "Well remember that guy that drove the bomb into the wake" Faith says looking at her thumb as she rubs the back of Bosco's hand, "he mentioned something about him and that he would know more of where Mann be"
Bosco just looks at Faith still not completely understanding why. "Apparently Bosco, your father cut a deal with Mann and gave up the location of the funeral home in return"
"Dammit, I knew he was up to no good" Bosco says closing his eyes in fustration "Shit! God why didn't see this coming"
"Bosco, calm down alright we don't know anything for sure yet okay" Faith says calmly.
Bosco lets out a sigh and doesn't say anymore about it.
