Chapter 21:
"Why didn't you tell us you had cancer?" Sully asked.
"I wanted to get through it on my own." Faith stated.
"Did Bosco know?" Kim asked.
"Yes." there was a long, uncompfortable silence and all were relieved when it was broken.
"Faith? You knew about all this stuff about Bosco?" Alex asked. Faith turned to face her with tear filled eyes.
"I only knew his dad hit his mom. I didn't know he was hurt too."
"Wow I don't think I'll ever look at Bosco the same way." Stated Doc at a whisper.
"No. that's why he doesn't tell anyone." Faith whispered.
"What do you mean?" Sully questioned.
"He doesn't wanna be seen as a poster boy for domestic abuse. He doesn't want you to look at him differently." Faith paused, feeling like talking about this with out him present was betraying her partner, "Can we talk about something else?"
"Time to get up." Jimmy said as he went round and shook the other guys awake.
"Go away." Carlos mumbled.
"Guys we have to get out of here. We have to survive this day or the others won't" Davis said, feeling like a general trying to motivate his men.
"Wait here, I'll be right back." Bosco said as he exited the cave, limping.
Bosco looked around before going out in the open. After a few minutes he walked back into the cave and said.
"Guys , why don't you stay a bit longer so Davis can recooperate. I'm gonna take a walk just to see where we are." "Bos, you need to sit down too, Davis isn't the only one hurt." Said Carlos.
"I'll be fine I just want to see where we are." Replied Bosco.
"Okay, but be careful." Said Davis as Bosco turned and left.
"Ten bucks says he's not coming back."
"Is this all the food their going to give us?" Sully asked, annoyed.
"I'm thinking that yeah." Doc answered, he wasn't expecting food at all so upon receiving it, he was pretty surprised.
"You'd think that they'd provide us with a board game or a t.v. or something." Said Faith.
"I think we'll die of bordum before the two days are up." Said Alex.
The others laughed lightly.
"I'm so bored."
Bosco walked through the trees, not leaving a trail, in case someone were to come upon it but memorizing scenery to find his way back. After walking for about ten minutes, Bosco started hearing noises over the hill ahead of him so he decided to investigate.
Over the hill lay the camp they had been taken to earlier, the camp that housed Alex, Kim, Faith, Sully and Doc.
Let the games begin.
"He's been gone a while." Said Jimmy, trying to keep the worry from his voice.
"Yeah, but he can take care of himself... right?" Davis sounded as if he were trying to convince himself more than Jimmy.
"Guys I hear something." Carlos whispered.
"What do you hear?" Davis leaned forward, ignoring the shooting pain in his arm.
"Something." Carlos said back,irritated.
There was a snap of twig just outside the cave.
"I'm gonna jump him." Whispered Jimmy, who was crouched by the doorway. He was just about to pounce when Bosco walked through the mouth of the cave.
"Jesus Bos, you scared us." Said Jimmy.
"Don't call me Bos, you hav-"
"-to earn the right!" interupted Jimmy, "I know. So whats up, where are we?"
"About fifteen minutes that way" Bosco pointed outside the cave, "Is the camp holding the others. I think we should break in and get them the hell out." Bosco explained, feeling like he was storming a castle.
"How?" Davis asked, feeling as if any good idea was beyond him.
"The guards are wearing masks." Bosco said simply. The others just stared at him.
"So?"
"Are you dense? They won't recognise us." He explained.
"Okay so we get the others, then what?" Carlos inquired.
"Steal a car." Davis said simply.
"And the award for # 1 cop is.." Jimmy joked.
"Is everyone ready to go?" Bosco asked.
"Yeah I'm good." Said Davis.
"Me too."
"And me."
"All right lets go."
"This sucks."
"That's the eighth time you've said that in one hour." Sully said to Alex.
"How do you know its only been an hour? You don't have a watch."
"My inner clock tells me, okay?" Sully wanted the conversation to end.
"But how-"
"Shut up!" yelled Kim, cutting Alex off, "who cares. Lets just have some peace and quiet!"
no sooner had she finished that sentence when an alarm blared from somewhere in the building.
"Whats that?" Doc asked.
"An alarm, somethings going on." Said Faith.
"Shit they saw us!" Carlso said, alarmed.
"Of course they saw us, your mask isn't on." Davis said, bitterly. An alarm sounded.
"Crap! Okay guys we have to split up if we're gonna find the others." Said Jimmy.
"Kay, Carlos and Davis you go that way and try and find the others," Bosco pointed down one hallway, "and me and Jimmy go down here and find a truck, we meet outside." He pointed the other way. They parted their ways.
"Wait, I think they're just around the corner."
"how do you know?" Carlos asked.
"There is a guard outside door." Davis explained.
"Be ready on three." He said.
"Ready for what?" Carlos asked, scared.
"One...two...three!" Davis whipped around the corner and slammed into the guard. Down he went. Davis's shoulder exploded in pain. The guard found his bearings and got up quicker than Davis and pointed his gun at him.
Ty saw his life flash before his eyes when suddenly, the guard jerked forward and collapsed. Carlos stood behind him with a pipe in hand.
"Whew. That was close." He said, gabbing the keys off the guard's belt.
They unlocked the door and stepped inside.
"Okay so for sure the garage is this way?" Jimmy asked.
"Uh...yeah." Said Bosco.
"Oh god you don't know where we are." Jimmy started to panic.
Bosco stopped walking and attempted to calm Jimmy down.
"Relax. We'll be fine." Just then, a guard came round the corner. They looked at him, he looked at them, both were shocked.
"Run!" Bosco whispered. And they ran like hell.
"So everyone's okay?" Kim asked Davis and Carlos as they all walked through the halls cautiously.
"Pretty much." Ty responded, trying to consentrate on listening for footsteps.
"What do you mean pretty much?" Sully asked.
"we fell through a trap. Davis hurt his arm, Bosco hurt his leg." Carlos explained.
"Are both of them ok-"
"SHH!" Sully whispered.
"What?"
"Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
BANG!!
"That!" Footsteps, running footsteps were coming their way. They had no direction to go in so Davis raised the gun that he took off of the guard that Carlos knocked out. The footsteps grew louder and louder and then...
Jimmy dashed around the corner with Bosco limping behind.
"Run!" they yelled. Everyone dashed towards what they hoped was the exit. They were correct and luckily a truck was right outside.
Bosco ran to the drivers side, Sully to the passengers, everyone else ran to the back. There was yelling and gunfire.
"Go! Go! Go!"Screamed Sully. Bosco found the keys already in the ignition, he started the engine and slammed on the gas.
They were free.
