Approaching Bosco's room Faith could hear a conversation going on between Bosco and 3 other people. A smile came across her face when she entered the room and was greeted by Sully, Davis, and Sasha.
"Hey guys" Faith smiled in Bosco's direction.
Bosco pushed himself up in the bed while asking Faith "Where did you disappear to?"
"Well if you must know I went home to get cleaned up and went down to the station to see what I could find out on the investigation." Faith said while keeping herself occupied with adjusting his blankets and pillows.
Bosco put his hand on one of her hands "and what did you find out?"
Faith hesitated at his question not sure if she wanted to break the news to him even though it's not for sure yet. "Not a whole lot."
"Does it …have something to do with why Cruz is looking for my father" Bosco said looking directly into Faith eyes.
Faith saw how much his eyes plead to know what was going on "Yeah Boz"
"So he's involved then"
"We don't know anything for sure yet"
Bosco turned his eyes down and nodded quietly. Sully then stepped forward and asked "What do we know then?"
Faith turned her attention to Sully "All we know is that this guy that drove the car into the wake had owed some money to Donald Mann along with…" she looked back down at Bosco who was looking at nothing in particular it was obvious that everything that was going on was starting to wear him down.
"Faith? Along with who?" Sully says snapping her out of her trance.
"Well from what he says along with an Anthony Boscorelli" Faith finished quietly. Looking up at Sully then to Davis and Sasha who had this look on their faces saying that this is insane.
"That's why he was looking for the reward money wasn't he?" Bosco whispered still looking down from everyone.
"That would be a good a guess to why?"
Bosco let out a soft laugh "He never came back to the wake." Bosco turned his head to the opposite side of Faith and closed his eyes. Faith looked at him with sad eyes wishing there was something she could do.
Sasha spoke softly "Maybe we should continue this in another room so Bosco can get some rest" She stood up pulling Davis by the arm getting the point across to Faith and Sully as well. As they walked out the door Faith turned to look at Bosco again to make sure he was okay with out the oxygen mask when she realized he didn't have it on but he seemed comfortable and decided to leave him be.
Sitting in chairs across from each other in the quiet room you can cut the level of stress and tension with a knife.
"So do we know this for sure" Davis asks directing to Faith.
"Well it does answer a lot of questions, between him looking for a reward for Mikey, and him disappearing about a half hour before the car came through and do you see him around you would think he'd be a little bit curious to why there's a car inside the wake and no one is there if he was not involved." she says while dragging one hand through her hair.
"And he knows the driver?"
"That we don't know for sure but he mentioned his name so it is definitely a possibility." Faith standing up walking towards the window of the room to look down the hall Bosco's room. "Swersky want me to question Bosco, but I'm afraid this is going to put to much stress on him."
"Well wouldn't it be better if you did it rather then some detective that doesn't care about the situation" Sasha brings up hoping to lighten the idea of having them question Bosco.
Faith nodded in understanding at what Sasha was getting at.
"Lets get it over with then" Sully says. Faith looks up and nods. "Should I call Swersky?"
"No let us just do this."
"Okay" Sully says opening the door and holding it for everyone.
Pulling up a seat to the side that Bosco was facing Faith places a hand on the side of his head running her hand down to the back of his neck. "Boz? You awake?"
"Yeah" Bosco whispers but keeping his eyes closed at the same. Faith let a small smile creep across her lips at his reaction thinking of the many times when her children were smaller and they would do that when she would try and get them up for school.
"You want to open your eyes then so we can talk" With that Bosco opened his eyes and looked at Faith.
Faith caught his eyes for moment and saw how empty they looked. Like hallow shells where the its soul is absent. Caught up in this moment Faith nearly forgot the words she was suppose to say until Sasha who was sitting beside her started.
"Bosco we need to ask you some questions about your father, Swersky asked for us to ask you"
Bosco looked into Sasha's eyes and then to Faith "I really…don't know much about him"
"Did you ever go to his apartment or spend some time with him?." Faith says taking over the questions.
"Once to his loft when I was looking for Mikey."
"Where's his loft?" Faith asks
Taking in a deep breath and releasing it "Soho" Bosco says closing his eyes for a second to try and control the sudden pain in his chest.
Faith and Sasha looked towards Sully and Davis. Sully was writing down the information he was giving. Their attention was taken back towards Bosco when they heard a soft voice "he never did answer me." They looked at Bosco questionably .
"Answer what?" Faith said at about the same tone level as Bosco's.
"I asked him how it was that he could afford the place." Bosco turned his head towards Faith with tears welling up in his eyes "he shrugged it off, and then he kept becoming more angry every time I would ask him about it or bring up how Mikey lied to me and Ma"
Tears were now starting to come down his face and he cleared his throat a little. "I saw right through it all Faith. Both of them, they made me believe that things were better….that we were a family. I should of known" Bosco lifted his hand to wipe away a few fallen tears.
Faith grabbed a tissue and helped him away the tears "It's my fault" he whispered barely audible through the tears.
"No it's not" Faith reassured him soothingly stroking his hair "It's not".
The rest of the day Bosco remained quiet or sleeping while the four spoke amongst themselves. Bosco's sleep was anything but comfortable and would more then often jump awake from an unpleasant dream. Each time he did Faith would ask if he was alright and Bosco would nod yes and lay there until his eyes would forcefully drift closed.
When night fell upon New York Faith decided it would be best to go home for the night to get some decent sleep. After Bosco finally convinced her he would be fine by himself she took off for home.
Bosco had finally fallen asleep around 1 am alone in the hospital room that nurse had the main light off to, which made the room fairly dark except for the light that was coming through from the hall. Bosco could feel the tension building in his chest as the minutes ticked by slowly. He fought the urge to ask for the nurse to come and turn the light back on but decided to save himself from the embarrassment.
Images began flooding his mind as he fell into a deep sleep. Everything that's happened over the last while all came flooding back. Cruz pounding on his door telling him that his brother used him…finding Mikey at the same place where they use to go to rid themselves of their nightmares. Cars, 1...2...3...4 plowing through the wooden gate when they figured out where Mikey was…a car plowing through the front of the wake. Standing over Mikey's torso, hearing Sully ask if cop killers get bail now.
Bosco started to sweat and breathe irregularly, his heart rate increasing at every scene causing the monitors to go off loudly.
Sounding like cries of help to Bosco he sees Faith kneeling beside his mom that was pinned under the car. Her apologizes repeating themselves had turned into his own pleads when he held her after she had gotten shot because of him. Shooting, bullets flying, glass spraying, feeling the heat rip through his body catching his breath.
"Officer Boscorelli open your eyes" Someone is yelling for him pleading for him. "Officer! I need you to take a breath of air"
A light is flashed in his eyes. "Officer you need to take a breath of air" A doctor says frantically as he noticed how blue lips were becoming. "get an intubation tray ready just incase we need it, he's panicking…"
That was all Bosco could hear before he became to weak to be coherent with his surroundings.
"Hey guys" Faith smiled in Bosco's direction.
Bosco pushed himself up in the bed while asking Faith "Where did you disappear to?"
"Well if you must know I went home to get cleaned up and went down to the station to see what I could find out on the investigation." Faith said while keeping herself occupied with adjusting his blankets and pillows.
