"Bosco?…Bosco?"
Bosco slowly opened his eyes but closed them quickly at the light. He moved his head towards the voice he thought he heard.
"Bosco, I need you to wake up."
Bosco let out a soft moan then opened his eyes again to face who was talking to him.
"Cruz?" Bosco asks while taking off the mask looking at her confused and then looked around the room to see if Faith was still here. "Where's Faith?"
"I don't know. She wasn't here when I got here." She gives me her famous fake smile while leaning on the railing of the bed. "I need to talk to you for a bit."
"About what?"
"About your fathers relationship with your brother. How was he involved with him."
"I…I don't what you're talking about" he says while rocking his head back and forth with his eyes drifting closed.
Cruz puts her hand on his head "Bosco I need you to try and stay with me here. Where can I find your father?"
"Cruz…I don't know anything about him" he tells her in a weaker voice.
"You don't know where he lives?" she asks again a little louder.
Bosco takes in a deep breath and releases it "a loft in Soho… That's all I know."
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Faith says looking at Cruz then Bosco.
Cruz moves slightly away from the bed at the sound of her voice "I have to ask him some questions."
"No you don't"
"Yeah, actually I do!" Cruz says yelling back her.
Bosco closes his eyes and begun to take shallow short breathes while listening to their arguing. The scene from the hotel room incident begun to roll out in front of him in short takes. Faith raises nobles gun, Cruz raises hers then noble takes out his.
BANG. BANG. BANG
Bosco shoots his eyes open at the sudden movement to the bed.
"Yeah why don't you just leave!" Faith says following Cruz to the door leaving Bosco's eyesight.
The door slammed shut behind Cruz causing Bosco to jump at the sound. When Faith didn't come back right away and panicking at the sound that Bosco thought was a gun shot he started to call for her as loud as he could.
"Faith!…Faith?!"
Hearing the panic in his voice Faith came back around to him quickly. Faith saw how pale and worked up he was and worriedly asked "What's the matter?" She scanned him for an answer when he didn't respond "Bosco what's wrong?"
Bosco looked up at her and between shaky breaths "shooting" he whispered barely audible and closing his eyes.
Faith studied him for a moment confused by his comment. Then noticing he was having trouble breathing she put the oxygen mask on him and page for a nurse. "It's okay Boz, it's over. It's over" She soothed while stroking his cheek.
"Is something wrong?" A nurse asks walking in the room quickly.
"Yeah, I think he's having trouble breathing" Faith says looking down at Bosco who still has his eyes closed and looking distressed.
The nurse adjusted the level of oxygen and then lent over the railing to get a better look at Bosco. She then lightly shook his shoulder "Officer Boscorelli, are you in any pain?"
Bosco opened his eyes and shook his head yes, hoping that the medication she would give him would make the images go away. The nurse nodded and gave him the medication.
With in a few minutes Bosco was sleeping more comfortably. Once Faith thought it was safe to say that he was going to sleep for a long time she decided it was the best time to go home for awhile and then go down to the station to see if there is any updates.
Faith walked through the double doors at the precinct and proceeded to the desk where Lieutenant Swersky was standing going through files.
"Hey Lieu can we talk somewhere in private" Faith asked placing both her hands on the desk.
Lieu looked up at her for a second "Sure Faith."
Swersky closed the door to the roll call room hushing out most of the commotion. "What's this about?"
"Well earlier I found Cruz questioning Bosco about his father. It got him fairly upset. What's going on Lieu?"
"Okay first I will definitely talk to Cruz for talking to Bosco about this without my knowledge. But we are trying to find his father to bring him in for questioning. Only because he lived with Michael during the time he was dealing."
Faith continued to look at him taking in the information "Are we getting any closer to Mann?"
"Not much, but hopefully Mr. Boscorelli will be able to help."
"Wait the only person who knew that Mikey was living his father was Bosco. How did you find that out?" she looked at him questioningly just realizing what he said before.
"What no one told you about the driver of that car that went into the wake?"
Faith looks at him with concern and confusion, Swersky took that as a no.
"This guy was an ecstasy dealer at one point and said that he had owed at lot of money along with an Anthony Boscorelli…"
"Oh my God!" Lieu looked at her stunned by her fast reaction and watched her pace "the reward money. It all makes sense. Oh my God Lieu we have to find his father. We have to!" Faith turned to leave but was stopped by Swersky.
"Wait. What are you talking about? What reward money?"
"When Mikey was wanted there was reward money and that's why Anthony came to tell where he was…" Faith's voice trailed off when she saw Cruz walk by.
"Cruz!" Faith yelled down the hall.
"Now what, you going to tell me to leave the precinct house too" Cruz said turning around to face Faith.
"Just come here" Faith said impatiently. Once Cruz was in the room Faith asked "When Bosco's father came to tell you about Mikey and that there was reward money involved did he say anything else?"
"Yeah he said he had owed some people some money"
"Well so did the guy who drove the car into the wake and apparently he knows Bosco's father"
"Yeah I know that's why I was trying to ask Bosco about his father this morning before you interrupted" Cruz just had to point out.
"Alright you too. Lets just try to figure this out and I need you two to be civil." Swersky says seriously. "Faith I want you to see what you can get from Bosco about his father."
Faith nodded and headed out towards the door and Cruz followed Swersky to a different room.
Bosco slowly opened his eyes but closed them quickly at the light. He moved his head towards the voice he thought he heard.
"Bosco, I need you to wake up."
Bosco let out a soft moan then opened his eyes again to face who was talking to him.
"Cruz?" Bosco asks while taking off the mask looking at her confused and then looked around the room to see if Faith was still here. "Where's Faith?"
"I don't know. She wasn't here when I got here." She gives me her famous fake smile while leaning on the railing of the bed. "I need to talk to you for a bit."
