Anthony spied Lester sitting at a table in the restaurant he asked to meet him at. Sitting across from him Anthony asked. "What did you want to talk about?"
"Your son, Maurice." Lester said getting more comfortable.
"What do you want with him?"
"It's not what I want, its what we can do to him." Lester said smiling. Anthony leaned in closer and smiled.
"What can we do?"
Lester opened up a folder so he can take down notes. "Lets see how we can play with his mind." He tapped his pen on the table. "We can use his brothers death even go as far as his mother's death, but lets just start with his brother."
Anthony nodded. "Where do we start?"
Lester smiled and started writing. "He knew about his brother's dealing and drug problems from previous years correct?"
"Yes."
"So then we can start with that by saying he didn't do enough to stop him from becoming involved with these people which lead to his death."
"I'm listening."
"Good because I have a lot more to tell you." Lester said while writing more. "Mr. Boscorelli, we are going to be swimming in money when we are done here."
Bosco squirmed around in his bed before finally opening eyes. Looking around the hospital room and noticing that he was alone from what he could see since he was lying down flat on his back made it difficult to scan the whole room.
"Faith?" Bosco whispered when he saw a shadow by the door. The figure walked in a little stopping a few feet from the bed.
"Faith is that you?" Bosco asked unable to make out who was in the room. Bosco lifted his head only catching a glance of the dark dressed figure because it was to painful to hold his head up any longer.
"Who's there?" Bosco said becoming more panicked. An envelope was then thrown and landed on Bosco's chest.
"You'll find out." The figure said evilly and quickly leaving before someone came in.
Bosco picked up the envelope and slowly opened it that produced a letter for him. Bosco held the letter nervously and read it. 'You had the chance to stop Michael, but you failed now people are dead. It's your fault. Your time will come.' Bosco heard familiar voices approaching the door and quickly tucked the note under the covers. Bosco closed his eyes for a second and a couple tears fell from what he read.
"Bosco?" Faith questioned when she saw a tear slip down his cheek.
Bosco looked at Faith than Sasha who was standing beside her. Looking down at where he tucked away the letter. "Did you see him?" He whispered lowly.
Faith looked at Bosco with confused. "See who?"
Bosco thought about his answer carefully before answering, not wanting to sound crazy. "Uh…the doctor." He lied.
"No, why?" Sasha said. "Did you need something?"
Bosco looked at Sasha nervously. "Just wondering if I could get something for the pain."
Sasha glanced at Faith for a moment. "I'll go see if I can find him."
Faith sat on the bed looking at Bosco curiously at his behavior. Bosco moved his hand to where he put the letter to make sure she didn't sit on it.
"Are you okay?" Faith asked curiously. "You seem a little tense, something on your mind?"
"I just hurt, that's all" Bosco said. Faith looked at him curiously and had a feeling there was something more to it.
"Okay." She said quietly taking hold of his hand.
A nurse came from behind Faith making her jump not expecting her to come up behind her. She looked at the monitors and wrote down notes then looked through previously written notes.
"I can't give you anything right now, officer, you were just given something a couple hours ago." The nurse said finally looking at Bosco. "I'll come back in couple hours with some medication, okay."
Ten minutes after the nurse left Bosco fell back into a resting sleep. Faith remained seated on the bed as Bosco slept, removing herself from the bed Faith shifted the top sheet pulling it away from Bosco. Lifting the blanket to cover Bosco back up Faith noticed the piece of paper and picked it up.
"What's that?" Sasha asked noticing Faith reading the paper.
"Oh my God." Faith said silently not wanting to wake Bosco.
"What?" Sasha said getting closer to Faith. Faith handed her the note and looked down at Bosco.
"Oh, Faith we should tell Lieu about this." Sasha said. Faith nodded in agreement and they walked out the room to called Swersky.
Lieutenant Swersky and Sgt. Cruz walked out of the hospital elevator and went towards the nurses desk. Turning the corridor Sasha and Faith caught sight of them and walked towards them.
"Hey thanks for coming." Faith said.
"Yeah sure, what's up?" Cruz asked.
"I found this." Faith started handing her the note. "Someone must of dropped it off. It was with Bosco."
Cruz looked up from the note in shock from what it says. "Did he see who dropped it off?"
"I don't know. I didn't ask, he was sleeping when I found it." Faith said and looked at Sasha. "But he did say when we first got in the room, 'Did you see him?'
"Yeah, and when we asked him what he meant he looked kind of nervous and covered it up by saying that what he meant was the doctor." Sasha continued. "He seemed pretty scared."
"Alright, I'm taking this in to the detectives." Swersky said having heard enough. "I'll have a security guard come down and stand outside his door."
"Thanks Lieu." Faith said as Sasha and herself watched the two walk back towards the elevator.
"Mr. Mann?"
"Yes?"
"You have some visitors,"
Donald Mann smiled evilly. "Let them in."
Donald Mann turned to face his visitors Anthony, Lester, and Lloyd. "What can I do for you?"
"We want to make a deal." Lester said.
"I'm listening."
"We can get you Maurice Boscorelli, hand delivered." Lester told him.
"Please take a seat." Donald said pointing to the couch behind them. "What can I get for you?"
"We will bring him to you for an expense of course, but you will have him. We've already begun."
"How soon?" Donald said becoming more interested.
"As soon as next week. We'll lay low for a while so the police will back off of the current threat we've laid on him."
"You have yourself a deal." He said evilly.
Bosco jerked awake at the sound of something hitting the floor. "Faith?" Bosco asked panicked remembering the last time he woke up and couldn't see anyone else in the room.
Faith stood up from picking up what she dropped and moved towards Bosco. "Hey, sorry I didn't mean to wake you."
"What happened?…what was that noise?" Bosco asked quickly.
Faith sat on the edge on the bed noticing the panic in his voice and took hold of his hand. "Boz, it's okay. I just dropped my book." She brushed his hair back with her finger tips. Looking down at him hesitantly, seeing some of the panic disappear from his eyes.
"Bosco?" Faith started looking into his eyes. "What happened earlier. I mean I found the note. Who brought it?"
Bosco looked at Faith and decided he couldn't lie to her. "I don't know who brought it. I couldn't see him."
Faith could see the sincerity in his eyes and knew he was telling the truth. "Why didn't you tell me?" She asked softly while running her hand down his forearm.
"I don't know." Bosco said becoming teary eyed. "I'm sorry."
Faith wiped away a fallen tear of Bosco's. "You don't have to be sorry, Boz."
"I don't know what I'm doing anymore Faith." Bosco said then drawing in a shaky breath.
"What do you mean?"
"Everything keeps going to crap." Bosco said while more warm tears streamed down his.
Faith reached out to catch the tears and moved up the bed a little more so she could lean in and give him a hug. She put a hand behind his head supporting it as he buried face in her shoulder allowing him to cry a few more tears. Faith realized how much she missed the wonderful warm safe feeling she got being so to Bosco. Her mind flashed back 4 years ago went he came to her and revealed all the pain he had been keeping cooped up inside. Faith heard Bosco wince in pain and she pulled back, gently guiding his head back down on the pillow.
"You okay." Faith asked using her thumb to wipe away at the tear stains on his cheeks.
Bosco looked into Faith's eyes that were only inches from his and softly whispered. "Yeah" and continue his stare in her eyes. Faith did the same unable to break the gaze until Bosco shifted his eyes off of her and on to her lips then back at her eyes. Faith moved in a little closer and just brushing her lips across his gently at first. Feeling a connection immediately she didn't even bother pushing herself away and was about to do it again when a voice behind her interrupted her.
"Well isn't this perfect."
Faith looked up surprised at who it was. "Fred!?"
"Always knew something like this would happen. I guess I made the right decision."
"Fred!" Faith said getting more angry at him.
Fred threw down a beige envelope on the bed. "Thanks for ruining our lives, Bosco!" He said with hate.
"Fred! That's enough!" Faith yelled pushing him towards the door.
Bosco closed his eyes as his mind flashbacked almost a year ago. Bosco could feel the air rushing out of him as his body slammed up against the wall being held up by Fred.
Bosco opened his eyes for a second and saw Faith hovering above his face with a frightened expression. Faith watched as Bosco gasped for a single breath that didn't want to come.
"Bosco?" She squeaked out.
With his eyes closed again he saw Fred slam him into the window shattering it and then throwing him down to the floor, yelling 'it's always you!'
"Bosco!" Faith said loudly while keeping both her hands on either side of his trembling head.
Bosco opened his eyes becoming still as he stared into Faith concerned eyes. Faith studied his face noticing his lips were beginning to tinge in a blue color. Faith looked back into his eyes and saw an emptiness beginning to fill them that's when she realized that he wasn't breathing.
"Bosco breathe!" Faith demanded while frantically searching for the call button that was hidden under the covers. "Breathe!"
A voice came over the intercom from hitting the button. "Can I help you?"
"I need help! He can't breathe!"
Faith watched as Bosco started to roll his eyes and his head leaning to the side from not having the strength to hold it up anymore. She grabbed hold of head again. "Bosco please. Breathe, its okay…" Her voice begun to trail off and the next thing he knew was doctors and nurses surrounding him.
The last things he heard before total darkness took over was his own voice when read the note 'It's your fault' and Fred's harsh voice 'Its always you!'
"Your son, Maurice." Lester said getting more comfortable.
"What do you want with him?"
"It's not what I want, its what we can do to him." Lester said smiling. Anthony leaned in closer and smiled.
"What can we do?"
Lester opened up a folder so he can take down notes. "Lets see how we can play with his mind." He tapped his pen on the table. "We can use his brothers death even go as far as his mother's death, but lets just start with his brother."
