"Maurice?"
"Ma?"
"Maurice! Help me."
"Ma?! Where are you?" Bosco started yelling becoming panicked as ran through the endless dark.
"Maurice!" Her cries became more frantic. Bosco could hear her screams becoming clear as he continued through the dark.
"Ma! Ma! I can't see you. Where are you?" Bosco yelled while running faster towards the voice but ended up running into a large a object.
"Maurice help!" Turning his attention upwards recognizing the object he had ran into as a car and realizing the voice was coming from the other side. Bosco quickly ran around the car falling to his knees at her side taking her hand into his.
Snapping her eyes open and looked into her son's "Why didn't you help me?" She said sadly. Those words echoed through his head as he scanned the length of her body looking in horror as he saw the bullet wounds all over body trapped under the car.
Tears streamed down Bosco's face "I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" He repeated over and over looking into her deathly eyes.
Faith stood up quickly when she heard Bosco's painful cries. Becoming worried when she was unable to make out what he was saying Faith took hold of his hand so she could sit on the edge of the bed. Bosco begun to move his head from side to side with his cries becoming a little louder Faith took hold the side of his face.
"Boz?…Bosco wake up. Bosco open your eyes for me." Faith asked becoming more panicked.
Sasha took her placed on the other side. "Should I get a doctor?" She asked as she looked at Bosco in concern.
"I don't know." Faith said. "Boz, come on wake up." she squeezed his hand and brushed his hair back. Bosco jerked awake at the feeling.
Looking around the room, he met with the gazes of worried friends. Bosco than felt a sudden sharp pain rip through his chest and he closed his eyes.
"Ahhh, Faith…Faith it hurts" Bosco said while gasping for deep breathes. "Oh gawd it hurts."
Sasha looked down at him worriedly and quickly left the room to find a doctor. Faith wiped away the sweat on his forehead with a cloth while Bosco kept his tight grip on her hand.
"Boz it's okay calm down" She soothed concerned looking up at Sully and Davis who had looks of terror on their faces.
"It hurts." Bosco whimpered again.
"I know…I know." Faith told him trying to calm him down. "Sasha went to get a doctor. Just hold on."
Faith looked up just as a doctor and Sasha came running in the room. "What's the problem" He asked while taking his stethoscope from his neck to listen to Bosco's heart.
"I don't know, he just woke up in a lot of pain."
"Officer Boscorelli where does it hurt?" He asked while taking in Faith's comment.
"Ev-everywhere." Bosco stuttered in pain.
"Okay, I'm going to give you something to help take the edge off." The doctor said while preparing a needle then sticking it in the IV. "Just try to take normal breaths and let medication work, you need to calm down first though or else it won't work."
The doctor amongst everyone else watched as Bosco begun to calm and take calmer breathes. "Hows the pain now? Is it going away?"
Bosco just nodded as his answer.
"Where's the pain the most?"
"Chest." Bosco whispered.
"Is it a sharp pain or a dull pain?" He asked while writing down the information for his records.
Bosco swallowed and took a deep breath. "Sharp."
The doctor looked at him concerned. "Is it still sharp even as it goes away." He watched as Bosco nodded yes with his eyes closed. Stepping out of the room, he stopped a regular nurse on the ward.
"Would you have Dr Green page me please." The doctor then turned to face 4 worried faces. "Dr Green is a cardiologist here I'm going have him come take a look at Bosco to make sure that everything is okay."
He smiled at them slightly. "I'll be back in a bit."
Faith paced the waiting room where she was told she would have to wait while Bosco was being examined. Sully, Sasha and Davis were sitting in the chairs watching as Faith nervously paced back and forth.
"Faith." Davis said finally having seen enough of her pacing. "Take a seat. I'm sure he's fine, alright, they're just performing a simple test."
Faith stopped pacing. "Bosco hates that kind of stuff, I wish they would of let me stay in there."
"Just take a seat."
Faith sat in the chair next to him and then turned to face him. "What if something is really wrong with him and they can't do anything to fix it."
Davis put one of his hands on her shoulder and was about to tell her to calm down again when she jumped up out of her chair because a doctor walked in the room.
"Is he okay?" Faith asked wasting no time.
The doctor smiled at her concern. "Well considering the injury he received he's healing nicely and for the last 45 minutes of the test we put him through I didn't see anything unusual. There is some scar tissue but that is perfectly normal and shouldn't affect him in anyway. As far as what's causing the pain is a mystery and more than likely will go away on it's own." The doctor then opened the door and left to see his other patients.
Davis turned to face Faith. "You see nothing to worry about."
"Yeah" Faith whisper as she left the room not believing either of them.
Cruz stood outside the interrogation room watching as Anthony and his lawyer exchanged words. Lieutenant Swersky walked up next to Cruz.
"That is his lawyer?" He asked
Cruz drew in a deep breath. "Yeah, that's his lawyer alright."
"Isn't he…"
"Yeah that's him, Lester Martin himself." Cruz says keeping her eyes locked on the two. "Can't wait to get into this one." She said sarcastically making her way to the door when she was waved in.
"Nice to see you again Sgt. Cruz." Lester said standing up and extending his hand out to her.
Cruz just gave him a non-amused grin. "Let's just get this over with."
"Well first I'd like to start with, does my client here have any evidence to hold him against this?"
Cruz shook her head. "No we are not holding him against anything we just want to ask him some questions."
"I'm sorry but is not correct that you barged into his apartment and place him under arrest?"
"We have an informant that told us that he is dealing out of his place, but like I said that is not why he's here." Cruz said becoming annoyed with his lawyer's questions. "Anthony all we want to know is where Donald Mann is hiding."
"And he told you he does not know Donald Mann and unless you can come up with proper evidence that he does know him then I suggest you let my client go."
Cruz glared at Lester. "Fine we'll be in contact."
Lester closed his brief case and stood by the door opening it for them "It's been a pleasure meeting you again."
Cruz brushed by him and looked down the hall as Anthony walked away. "Don't go far Boscorelli!" She watched in disgrace as he never even turned around once.
Cruz jogged down towards the front desk. "Lieu, I'm going over to Mercy for awhile let me know if anything comes up."
Cruz walked into the hospital room to find Faith, Sasha, Davis and Sully sitting around the bed talking quietly amongst themselves. She knocked on the door before entering.
"Hey, is he awake?" She asked softly.
"Yeah, Why?" Faith asked looking at Cruz curiously as she walked closer to Bosco.
"I need to talk to him."
Faith stood knowing what she wanted to talk to him about. "He doesn't know." Faith said quietly looking Cruz in the face.
"Know what?" Bosco said weakly after waking up from hearing their conversation.
Cruz walked around to the other side of the bed close to his face. Bosco followed her with his eyes as she got closer. "We're trying to talk to your father, Bosco."
Bosco looked at her confused. "About what?"
"He knows Donald Mann." She told him bluntly.
"What?" Faith and Bosco both said in unison.
"We have an informant, that is saying that your father is working closely with Donald Mann. Ah…dealing ecstasy out of his place because he owes him money." Cruz watched Bosco closely. "This is our only chance to catch Donald Mann, we just have to gather evidence to hold a charge against him."
Bosco continued looking at Cruz. "I don't know how I could help."
"Did your brother ever mention anything suspicious about him, or your father, did he ever slip up and say something to you."
Bosco closed his eyes for moment trying to remember something. "Mikey was living with him…" Bosco paused to draw in a deep breath at a sudden pain.
"I don't think this is such a good idea Cruz." Sasha said stepping up.
"It's okay." Bosco said. "I don't know much about my father Cruz, so I really can't see me being much help."
"Mikey was dealing for dolphins, and if Donald Mann is a monkey dealer then it doesn't make sense that they would be working together." Cruz said thinking out loud. "There has to be something some kind of connection."
"Well maybe Mikey didn't know his father was dealing but Anthony knew about Mikey dealing the competition and tried to cancel him out." Faith suggested.
"Or it could be that Anthony was working both sides and just trying to work off what owed by working with Mikey as well." Cruz added.
"Guys face it this can go in any direction." Davis said getting into the conversation. "And without proof he's completely innocent."
"Bosco" Cruz said turning her attention back to him. "Did you ever go to his place at any time?"
Bosco nodded. "Once"
"Did you see anything suspicious?"
"Nothing more than the fact that place is worth about 30 times the amount of income I bring in a year." Bosco said. "Other than that I was to pissed at the fact that my family managed to screw me once again to notice anything else."
Cruz looked at him not sure of where else she could go with this. "Okay." She said finally giving up "I'll be back if anything comes up."
Cruz walked over to Faith before leaving. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
Faith just gave her a questioning look and got up to follow her. "What?"
"Ah…You remember Lester Martin?" Cruz started and Faith nodded yes wondering why she brought him up. "Well his father is using him as his lawyer."
Faith looked at her in shock. "Are you serious? That son of bitch."
"I don't know what this guy has planned. I just hope it doesn't pose a problem." Cruz said before turning to leave.
"Mr. Boscorelli, it's Lester. I have something that may interest that you, it's a brilliant idea. Give me a call we'll talk over lunch." Lester hung up the phone after talking to his answering machine. He looked at a picture of his wife and child that were taken from him, becoming angry as he remembered how they were taken from him. "Yes, I think you will enjoy the plans I have."
"Ma?"
"Maurice! Help me."
"Ma?! Where are you?" Bosco started yelling becoming panicked as ran through the endless dark.
"Maurice!" Her cries became more frantic. Bosco could hear her screams becoming clear as he continued through the dark.
"Ma! Ma! I can't see you. Where are you?" Bosco yelled while running faster towards the voice but ended up running into a large a object.
