Detectives and cops swarmed Bosco's apartment only a few minutes after the 10:13 was sent out. Detectives were taking pictures of the crime scene and looking in every last little place you could think for finger prints. Swersky and a couple other street cops from the precinct went around to see if anyone saw or heard anything suspicious.
Davis, Sasha, Sully and Faith stood outside the apartment door which was now taped off with crime scene tape that kept out any curious intruders.
"You think it was whoever owned that car Faith?" Sully asked.
Keeping her eyes locked on what was going on inside the apartment, replied. "It's a long shot but it's a start. The only thing is that car hasn't been around since we got here."
"We got the plate numbers earlier when we drove by" Davis mentioned. "I just called it in a few minutes ago we should hear back soon."
"Yeah and on the slim chance of it helping us out, the note said we have until sunrise to find him." Sasha added.
Faith sighed. "Well they gave us a clue on where we could find him, so they must want us to find him."
"One way or another that's for sure." Cruz said from behind Faith who then turned to face her. "This has to be connected with Donald Mann."
Faith looked at her not so surprised she kicked in her two cents. "Yeah, and why would that be."
"His brother's name was Boscorelli who just so happened to of screwed with him and his business, Mann must of figured out his brother was a cop and figures that Michael gave him enough information that Bosco could use to mess up his business." Cruz said then proceeding to walk into his apartment.
'55 Charlie'
"55 Charlie, go ahead central" Davis answered the radio.
'55 Charlie this is regarding to the plates you requested to be ran.'
Davis replied "10:4, what do you got."
'Name comes back as registered to a Derek Manor'
"Do you have anything on him." Davis asked then wrote down his name.
'Negative, he's clean'
"10:4 central" Davis said and let out a sigh. "Great all we have is a name."
Faith shook her head in disgust "What the hell is wrong with the world we live in" she mumbled mostly to herself.
Cruz walked back out in the hall carrying a baggie with the note in it. "Officer Yokas, did you get a chance to read what he left behind."
"Yeah I read it once over. Why? What's up?"
"Here read it again, does it sound familiar?" Cruz handed the note over careful not to affect it in anyway.
" 'where I run to can only hide me from my nightmares for so long' " Faith read out loud and stared down at the letter trying to make sense of it. Faith then looked up thinking that she understood what it meant.
"You don't think." Faith looked into Cruz's eyes that were smiling like they do when she believes that she caught onto something that could make her look good in the end.
"I do." Cruz then called Swersky over ."Hey, lieu I think a got lead on where Bosco might be, it makes sense the place that I'm thinking."
"You sure?" Swersky asked.
"Definitely."
"Alright get a team together and we'll follow you in" Swersky said sternly.
Cruz was about to run off when Faith stopped her " I want to go."
"And so do we" Sully said stepping up front pointing back to Davis and Sasha.
Cruz looked at all four of them and gave in at their determination. "Fine then lets go."
Derek sat Bosco, who had his hands tied in front and was gagged now, down near the edge of the hill over looking waters. "Recognize the place Boscorelli. Isn't this where you would run from your fears and all the pain you had to face as a child." Bosco looked up at Derek trying to take even breathes but the gag was making it difficult, thinking to himself that this guy looks familiar but couldn't remember where.
"It's funny how fears can work and like you should know by now that no matter how far or fast you run those fears will always find you and haunt you." Derek laughed and got up from his position in front of Bosco's face. Bosco's eye's widen when he saw who was behind him. "Isn't this the fear you ran from all those years."
"Hello Maurice" Anthony said in a low voice. Bosco knew who it was just by the sound of his voice it was a voice that didn't need a face. Anthony knelt in front of Bosco grabbing the gag pulling him forward and whispered in his ear. "I'm sorry to hear about your mother" Bosco could feel his blood boiling just by hearing him mention her. "You know she never did learn how to get out of the way of things when she suppose to."
Bosco was looking his father in the eyes now and it took all his strength to not get up and beat the crap out of him. Then out of the corner of Bosco's eye he saw the flashing lights of police cars approaching and his heart began to race in panic in fear of what could happen next knowing for that Faith would be one of those cops.
"Ah let party begin" Derek said and then forced Bosco to his feet. "Looks like you got yourself some smart friends, I thought for sure we'd be sitting here for quite sometime."
Soon fifteen different cops, including an anti crime team, four familiar street cops and a detective along with Lieutenant Swersky had them surrounded with their guns drawn.
"Put your hands up and drop any weapons." Cruz yelled and other cops were yelling the same to back her up.
Derek let out a sigh and pulled out a weapon grabbing Bosco from behind and placing the barrel of the pistol against Bosco's head. "Guess again!"
Derek looked over at Anthony and lowering the weapon a moment at the same time. "What do you thi…" Was all he could get out before a gunshot was heard and Derek dropped to the ground shot in the leg. Bosco took this opportunity to try and get away but Anthony grabbed the back of Bosco's shirt pulled him back. Bosco struggled to pull away from him but would end up in a bad tug a war competition. The cops now moved closer in and Davis handcuffed Derek leaving him laid out on the ground uncomfortably.
"Let him go Anthony." Swersky said.
"Should I shoot him?" Cruz asked.
"No, even given the situation that is his father." Faith said harshly towards Cruz.
The cops continued to watch as Bosco struggled to get loose from his father's grip causing both of them to grow quickly tired from the tug a war match. Finally Anthony's grip loosened a little and Bosco turned his body around to face him stumbling a little from being off balance with his previous position. Not realizing how close they were to the edge because of the dark Bosco pushed his father back so he could get away from him for a long enough time but he got a hold of Bosco's shirt again out of instinct when he realized that he was about to fall over the edge. This sudden movement caught Bosco off guard and was unable to react in time but wouldn't of had anything to grab on to anyways because his hands were tied in front so he ended up following him over the edge towards the water.
The cops who stood a few feet in front them saw this all play out in what looked like slow motion. Davis, Cruz, and Faith ran up quickly as soon as they saw them going over the edge to try and catch Bosco.
"Bosco!" Faith screamed down when she saw his father hit the water first than Bosco hit shortly after. Taking no time she ran back to where they came from hoping that Bosco would make it to shore easily. Davis was close behind her and she could hear him calling for EMS and Rescue on the radio. Stopping at the ridge of the water Faith frantically searched the water with her eyes.
"Oh god please" she whispered to herself. Davis looked at Faith for a second and back out at the water shining his flashlight hoping Bosco will see it or he'll see him. Then suddenly Cruz yelled from where she was "I see him!"
A splash was heard and Faith knew that someone jumped in to assist Bosco. Running up towards Cruz Faith could hear the sirens in the back ground of EMS.
"Here grab him" the cop said from the water holding up a half unconscious Bosco in his arms.
Once Bosco was lying on dry grounds he let out groan and tried to cough up water beneath the gag. Davis pulled out his knife and cut the gag off revealing a mouth full of water, he then proceeded to cut off the rope around his hands.
Faith shone her flashlight on Bosco's face which he was now unconscious. Noticing how blue his lips were Faith immediately checked to see if he was breathing.
"His breathing is shallow" Faith said looking into his face and stroking his cheek silently praying for him to be okay. "God, he's freezing." Faith choked out between tears.
"I'll go grab a blanket from the car." Cruz said then running back towards the car, but was soon stopped by Carlos.
"What happened?" he asked running with his bags towards Cruz.
"It's Bosco, he went over the edge into the water" she said pointing up to the hill. "He's not doing to good."
Carlos looked up at what she pointing at and back down at her. "Yeah, no kidding. Levine! Grab the backboard and the stretcher."
Carlos ran down towards the crowd of cops. "Excuse me guys, let me through." Carlos knelt down beside Bosco and lifted his eyelids to check his pupils. "Was he conscious at all."
"When he first came out of the water he coughed up water but never opened his eyes." Faith said while staying in her position.
"Bag him Levine, he's barely breathing." Carlos popped a C-Collar on him just incase there was an injury and then slid the backboard under him.
Carlos and Levine jumped in the back of the ambulance with Bosco. "We need someone to drive!"
"I got it." Davis said making his way to the drivers seat. The back doors to the ambulance were closed and someone patted the door to tell them they were good to go.
Faith, Sully and Sasha stood watching the ambulance take off into the distance until they couldn't see it anymore.
"He'll be alright, he's tough" Sully said.
Faith nodded and walked towards Swersky. "Did they find Anthony yet."
"No, they're still sweeping the water." Swersky said. "You going into Mercy?"
"Yeah, let me know if they find him." Faith said before turning to run up to the RMP. "Sasha! Come on lets go."
Sasha and Faith quickly walked through the sliding doors in the ER and went up to the front desk to ask where Bosco was.
"The doctor's are with right now" Mary said seeing the concern in Faith's eyes. "He's stable, woke up a little bit ago. He's doing good, I'll come and find you as soon as you can see him."
"Thanks Mary." Faith said.
Davis walked over when he saw Sasha and Faith by the front desk just as Sully walked in with a couple nurses wheeling in Derek in a wheelchair.
"Hey, look who it is Ty. It's our purse snatcher ." Sasha said recognizing the man being wheeled in.
"What you get a promotion or something." Davis said looking him in the eye as he was wheeled by.
Davis chuckled when he saw the look on his face. "Hey Sul."
"Hey 's how Bosco doing?"
"Looks like he's going to be alright." Davis told him.
"Well I guess he does have some luck left then cause I have some good news myself." Sully said showing them his memo pad. "Our famous purse snatcher, was working for Donald Mann the whole time. Told me everything he knew, and he said that the whole purse snatching thing was a set up."
"That would explain why there was no to claim the purse." Sasha added.
Davis looked at Sully. "So he brought us to where Michael's torso was intentionally?"
"Yup." Sully said in disgust. "He said that Donald Mann wanted to make Bosco suffer, wanted him to see the torso like he did. He says that Mann blames Bosco for his sons death and wanted revenge."
Faith just looked at Sully in disgust listening to this.
"He told us where we might be able to find Donald Mann too, so Swersky has a SWAT team going to raid them."
"Good. I hope they get him." Faith said pushing herself away from the counter when she saw a doctor approaching them.
"He's doing well, we'll keep him over night for observation and should be able to go home tomorrow sometime. He broke two ribs and has a concussion considering the fall he took he's lucky. " Doctor Fields said with a smile. "You can go see him, Exam 5"
"Thank you." Faith said before going down the hall.
When Faith entered the room Bosco was sleeping with an oxygen mask covering his nose and mouth, also a monitor beeping in a normal rhythm. Standing at his side Faith smiled looking down at him and put her hand on his forehead brushing his hair back.
Bosco opened his eyes long enough to look at Faith and then closed them again too tired to keep them open. Faith pulled up a seat and waited for him to wake up.
Davis, Sasha, Sully and Faith stood outside the apartment door which was now taped off with crime scene tape that kept out any curious intruders.
"You think it was whoever owned that car Faith?" Sully asked.
Keeping her eyes locked on what was going on inside the apartment, replied. "It's a long shot but it's a start. The only thing is that car hasn't been around since we got here."
