The ride up to the lake was very quiet. Both Bosco and Nadia were lost in there own thoughts. Nadia kept thinking that she was going to wake up any minute and this will have been all been a really bad dream. It didn't seem real. Just two days ago she was fighting with Roger about work and their on again off again relationship, and now here she was running for her life with a complete stranger at the wheel. She glanced over at Bosco, he had been so quiet, and she thought I wonder what is going through his head right now.
Bosco was trying to concentrate on the drive but his mind was going a mile a minute. Why does he always get stuck in these situations? He kept having flash backs to Faith getting shot and how he couldn't protect her, his own partner. And now he was responsible for this woman completely with no back up at all. His concern was only that he could keep her alive.
Nadia broke the silence first. "It's only about ten more minutes away" she said quietly.
"Good" was Bosco's only response. Still lost in his own thoughts. Every time he closed his eyes for a brief second he kept seeing Cruz's gun go off.
Still trying to strike up a conversation with him Nadia says "The lake really is beautiful this time of year, my parents and I used to spend at least two weeks here a year for vacation".
Bosco finally starting to snap back to reality replied "Well I am sure it is, but just remember we are not here for vacation lady, there is someone trying to kill you and we need to have are guard up every second".
"So much for a little fun" Nadia thought to herself.
They rode the last ten miles in silence.
Nadia was right this place was beautiful. It was like something out of a movie or something. Very tranquil and serine. The view from the porch was amazing; the lake was huge and looked like a sheet of glass. There wasn't another cabin for miles; there were no city noises, just nature.
The cabin itself was small, yet had all the comforts of home, running water, electricity and so on. There were two bedrooms that were connected by a door, a small kitchen, bathroom and living area. The furniture was old but in good shape. It was obvious that no one had been here in quite a long time.
Bosco asked Nadia "when was the last time you were up here?"
"Not since my parents were killed about three years ago. I just never seem to get up here. When I was a kid I loved to come up here my dad and I would fish all day long" she said pointing to the lake. "Then my mom and I would clean the fish and that would be dinner, it was so nice" she smiled to herself thinking of her parents.
"If you don't mind me asking, what happened to your parents?" Bosco asked.
"No I don't mind, they were coming home from vacationing in Paris and there was a problem on the plane and it went down over the ocean" she said quietly. "There bodies were never recovered"
"Wow, I'm sorry" Bosco stated.
"It's okay, they were together when they died and that is how they wanted to go" she said with a small hint of a smile. "My parents were amazing, they were as in love the day they died as the day they met, I could be so lucky to find that kind of love, they were soul mates" she said. "What about your folks?" she asked
"They are divorced" is all Bosco would say to her about them. "Well I better call into the station and let them know that we are here" he said quickly changing the subject abruptly.
"Yeah boss were here, how is it going there? Any word on the perp?" Bosco said into his cell phone.
"Nothing yet Bosco, we are still trying to find out who that was in the apartment building, we have half the force working on it" Swersky said.
"Okay, we will stay put until we here differently from you" Bosco said
"Alright Boscorelli be safe, and thanks for doing this, I consider it a personal favor" Swersky said as he hung up the phone.
