The second hand on the clock that hangs off the white wall in the crowded waiting room continues to tick rhythmically. Watching it continuously go around the hour, my mind wanders and I think about what; if anything is going through Bosco's mind right now. Does he know that his mother could be gone, and if he does know is he thinking is there a reason to fight anymore. I make my way down to the chapel after a lot of convincing Lieu that I'd be fine by myself, hoping that I'd find some kind of comfort. The chapel is dimly lit, walking up to front of the chapel I can feel the threats of my tears. I sit in the front pew and look at the lit candles and crucifix that the light flickers off of. A tear slowly escapes and rolls down my cheek I intake a small breath and begin to pray.

"Um, I'm not very good at this kind of thing but I couldn't really think of anything else that I could do at this time. Bosco he's, um, he's never been anything but a great friend and honestly the only he's guilty of is trying to be happy. Ever since I've know him he has always tried so hard…like when he would never give up of ESU no matter how many people would shut him down and not support his dream. Hell, I'm even guilty of that. He has always wanted a family, I kind of think that's why we got so close over the years, I could give him that. I took that away from him and when he tried to get his real family back you took that from him. I guess I was kind of hoping that, umm, I'd at least get a chance to apologize. I know I can't give him a family but I can give him a good friend."

"Faith?" I turn around at the soft voice.

"Hey. Sasha. Is he out of surgery?" I ask frantically while wiping away a few fallen tears.

Sasha sits beside me "no not yet, but I thought you could use some company." she says with slight smile and looks a head.

"Yeah, thanks."

After a few moments of silence, I ask "So, um, how did you like working with Bosco. I never did ask."

"You know in the few months I worked with Bosco I had learnt a lot about him although he never really spoke much about his personal life. You are right he's only guilty of trying to be happy." Sasha smiles "but I do know that he's strong and I don't think Bosco would ever let something like this take him"

"Well the Bosco I knew would want to kick this guy's teeth in" I say looking down at the marble floor nervously picking at my fingers "but this Bosco he…he's different, he's quiet. I'm afraid that he is tired of fighting and just won't have the strength."

"Hey guys" Davis says walking in the doorway. I turn to look praying that he has some good news. "uh the doctor that was taking care of Bosco's mom wants to talk to us since there is no other family."

Walking out of the chapel I turn back for a second hoping that my prayers have been heard. There are less people in the lounge now and about 20 or more different ESU officers surveying the area and standing guard. I still can't believe how all this is going on because of one monster. In the lounge I was greeted by a doctor who asked me to take a seat.

"Okay I'm talking to you on behalf of Officer Boscorelli who is currently in surgery himself, about his mother, Ms Rose Boscorelli" She looks at us for acknowledgement and some of us nod in understanding. "Ms Boscorelli had suffered some more injuries then what we had first believed she had. Along with her neck injury she suffered a head injury where the blow to the head caused a bleed in her brain. Unfortunately Rose Boscorelli will never recover from this injury she is in fact brain dead."

"Oh my God" I whisper to myself.

"As of now because of hospital policy we do have her on life support, but that is they only thing keeping her alive at the moment." The doctor sits back in the chair "The only way we can take her off life support is if a family member gives consent to do so. Are you sure there is no other immediate family besides Officer Boscorelli".

"Yeah, they only had each other" I tell her sadly.

"Okay well then I have no choice but to keep her on life support until I have consent from Officer Boscorelli".

I watch as the doctor leaves the room and turn around to face Lieu. "Oh gawd, how is Bosco suppose to be able to do that. How?"

"We'll have to be there for him" Lieu simply tells me. Shaking my head in disbelief I walk back to my seat and quietly wait on the fate of Bosco.
