Chapter 22:
"where are we going?" Sully asked Bosco, who was driving.
"How the hell am I supposed to know?" Bosco said, irritated. They had been driving for an hour and were still totally lost.
"anyone following us?" Davis asked, poking his head through the curtains that separated the front seats and the back.
Sully looked at his rear view mirror, seeing no one he answered, "No."
Davis retreated to the back again, the front of the van was silent except for the murmur of voices comeing from the back.
"So anyone following?" Jimmy asked Davis when he pulled his head back from the front and sat down beside Alex.
"No." he answered.
"So did they hurt you guys or anything?" Carlos asked Doc, Sully, Alex, Faith and Kim.
"Other than lack of hospitality, they were fine." Sully responded.
"Did they tell you when they're gonna leave us alone?" Jimmy said.
"No, they told us a lot of things but not that." Kim said.
"What did they tell you?" Davis asked. Kim and the others exchanged looks.
"uh- nothing." Alex said.
"No wait," Said Faith, "Guys I think you should know, that a while back....i had breast cancer." Faith said, nervously.
"What?" Davis exclaimed, "oh my god!"
"But you...you got it removed. Right?" Jimmy asked, scared.
"Yes, and I'm cancer free." She said proudly.
"can I ask, what made you want to tell us?" Carlos asked.
"Rainey told the others so I felt everyone should know, now that its out in the open."
"Did they say anything else?"
The front seat was still quiet, Sully was rummaging through the glove box for a map. He sat up, as if thinking of something.
"Bosco?" Bosco didn't turn to face him but responded,
"Yeah?"
"Um-"Sully didn't know how to say this, "Rainey told us some things."
"What kind of things?" Bosco asked, not very interested.
"About- about Faith's cancer," Bosco turned and looked at Sully, then put his eyes back on the road.
"He also told us.." Sully paused, "He read- uh...he read out your medical file, from when you were a kid,"
"What?!" Bosco exclaimed, whipping his head around at Sully. "exactly WHAT did he read?"
"just age....injuries......excuses." Bosco slammed on the brakes, everyone jerked forwards.
There was a silence as Bosco sat, looking strait ahead.
"Bosco?" Sully whispered.
Davis popped through the curtain.
"What the HELL is going on??!!!" Davis yelled. There was silence, Davis looked at Sully who was looking at Bosco. Bosco was looking strait ahead.
"Bos?" Ty whispered.
"Davis can you give us a minute?" Sully asked.
"Sure." Davis, looking worried, returned to the back of the truck.
"Davis whats going on?"Jimmy asked rubbing his head.
"I don't know. I went up there and they were like, totally quiet. Bosco was looking strait ahead. I'm worried."
"Why did they stop?" Carlos asked.
"I think Sully told Bosco something and that's why he stopped." Ty sat down.
"What did he tell him?" Jimmy asked, Ty shrugged.
"Uh guys."Alex said, Carlos, Ty and Jimmy looked towards her. Alex exchanged looks with the others.
"I think- I think I know what Sully told him." The guys looked shocked.
"What did he tell him?" Carlos asked.
"Bosco, say something." Sully tried for a response. He got one.
"What, EXACTLY did he say?" Bos whispered.
"He told us about when you were a kid. How you were-"Sully paused.
Bosco sighed and started the ignition. The truck sped off again.
"I had no idea." Ty whispered.
"That's why he looks so- ... unemotional all the time." Thoughts were racing through Jimmy's head. He had just found out Bosco's secret, the reason his smile never reached his eyes. Jimmy had been wondering for weeks what it was, and now that he knew he felt....sickened.
The truck started again, and they felt it move again. The silence was defining. It was broken only when-
BANG!
