As soon as Swersky rounded the corner Faith immediately spoke up "So umm, I'm willing to stick around here with Bosco"

"Yeah okay, I'll stay with you" Sasha says and Faith nods with agreement.

Sully sighs and looks at Davis "well partner looks like we're hitting the streets" he pats Davis's back once "lets get out there".

"Yeah alright, you keep us posted" Davis says pointing towards Faith.

Faith grins and nods "Absolutely. You do the same"

"Yeah see ya."

Faith turns to Sasha brushing her hand through her hair, "Do you think Mann is really going to come for him"

Looking towards Bosco in his room and letting out a soft breath Sasha whispers "I don't know"

"Well lets get back in there"

Faith walks back to her seat on the right side of the bed and Sasha moves the chair that Davis sitting on up closer to his left side noticing paleness of his face and although his eyes were closed the obvious pain he was in.

"Bosco do you want something for the pain?" Sasha asks Bosco.

"Yeah" Bosco whispers without opening his eyes.

"okay" Sasha says meeting Faith's eyes as she stands up to get a nurse.

"Boz?" Faith says changing her position from the chair to sitting on the edge of the bed and placing her hand gently on his stomach careful not to hurt him. Bosco turns his head as soon as he felt her touch and looks into her eyes.

"What's going to happen with my mom?"

"Well, I think the department will take care of the arrangements for you. I'm sure Lieu will mention it in roll call and I'm sure that everyone will pitch in somehow" Faith says while subconsciously brushing her thumb back and forth over a small area of his stomach.

Bosco pulls his hand up on top of her hand to stop her motion and Faith looks up at him startled by his sudden movement "I'm sorry…I wasn't hurting you was I?"

Bosco shakes his head no "No. I want to make the arrangements for the funeral. I don't need the department to do it, I can do it…really."

Faith looks into his eyes and sees the sincerity in them and looks down at her hand that's still underneath his and puts her other hand on top of his "Okay I'll let Lieu know that".

"Okay so Officer Boscorelli I hear you are ready for some pain medication" the nurse says rather cheery like walking towards his bed. Faith picks herself up from the bed and walks towards Sasha who is standing closer to the doorway to give the nurse the space.

Faith looks at Sasha and says quietly so Bosco can't hear but loud enough for her to hear clearly "He wants to make the arrangements for his moms funeral".

"You think that's a good idea?"

"I don't know, I mean this has all been pretty stressful and I just think if he tries to handle this on his own it would rip him apart"

"Yeah and he doesn't seem to be open to the idea of asking for help on this…"Sasha says before the nurse interrupted.

"Excuse me ladies. I don't mean interrupt but I'm all done here"

Faith looks at her "Oh sorry" realizing that they were blocking the doorway and stepped out of the way " hey, excuse me, do you know when he will be released from the hospital"

"I'm not sure but I can check with his doctor" she says with a smile looking back at her.

"Okay, thank you". The nurse nods continues on down the hall.

"Like I was saying, maybe we could help him out if he really wants to do this himself." Sasha finishes.

"Yeah, yeah I think that would be best." Faith says before turning back to go to Bosco.

5:26pm

The sounds of an acoustic piano echoed through the halls and rooms of Mann's new house in Las Angeles California.

"Sir?"

The music stops almost instantly "Yes?"

"Boscorelli is on line 3, sir"

"Thank you" Mann waves him off and picks up the phone. "This is Mann"

"Boscorelli, I have proposition for you"

'I'm listening'

"I understand that your son Maurice Boscorelli is alive"

'Yes'

"I have 500 000 reasons for you to kill him" After a long pause of silence on the other line.

'How?'

"Anyway you please" Mann hangs up the phone smiles slyly and goes back to his piano.

5:55pm

The conversation between Bosco, Faith and Sasha that had been going on for the last half hour about the funeral arrangements had become a two person conversation between Faith and Sasha as the pain medication started to take its toll and exhaustion took hold of Bosco. Faith noticed that Bosco was now struggling to keep his eyes open.

"We should let you get some rest" Faith said while starting to get up.

"We'll come back tomorrow morning to finish the arrangements" Sasha adds also standing up.

Faith let a smile escape onto lips as she sees Bosco's only response is a nod while his eyes are closed. She looked over at Sasha who also has smile written across her face from the scene in front of her.

Faith and Sasha walk out the room informing the security officer that they will be back in the morning and to call for a car to pick them up.

Minutes later Sully and Davis pull up to them in the parking area outside the main entrance. "Good evening ladies and where might we be able to escort you to" Davis says in his best manner while opening the door for them.

"Funny Ty" Sasha says before getting in the car. Davis shuts their door and climbs back in the front.

"So how's Bosco?" Sully says pulling into the street.

"He's okay. He wants to make the funeral arrangements on his own so we were helping him out with that before he fell asleep on us" Faith says.

"Oh yeah, I figured that Lieu would work that out for him" Davis says turning his head slightly back towards them.

"I'm sure he planned to, but Bosco wanted to do it"

"Well can you blame him for wanting to, she was last bit of family he had right?" Sully says looking in the rear view mirror "he probably feels responsible for all this and thinks that this is the least he can do for her." Faith just nodded at his statement. The rest of the ride was quiet until they got to her apartment. Faith thanked them for dropping her off, once upstairs she got into the shower and changed into a comfy pair of clothes. Lying down in bed she stared at a picture of her kids and realized she had some business of her own take of and soon fell asleep.
