Rules and Broken Trust Chapter 10
"Hey Lieu, we need some medics up here!" Duncan apprehensively shouted, "Someone beat the crap out of Davis, he's laid out on the locker room floor." Lieu was standing at the front desk with his back turned. Instantly scrunching his eyebrows as the words sunk in, turning towards Duncan with a questionable look on his face.
"WHAT?" Lieu yelled back, his voice sounding as if he didn't believe what he was hearing.
"I said." Duncan began again taking one step closer to Lieu before he cut him off.
"I heard what you said," Lieu shouted again rounding the front desk heading towards the locker room calling out, "Get the medics over here," to the Officer at the desk.
"Yes sir," the female Officer responding as she picked up the phone without delay.
Lieu hurriedly followed Duncan into the locker room, shouting, "Clear a path," to several Officers that had gathered around Davis. Making his way through he found that Davis was just coming around.
Squatting next to Davis, gently pressing into Ty's shoulder to keep him from hurting himself more, saying in a softer tone, "Easy Davis, easy."
Ty was obviously stunned, the look of pain and confusion evident on his face. Wincing, slithering his hand up to his rib cage, letting out a slight groan it took a few moments for everything to register.
"You alright? Medics are on their way over now," Lieu said removing his hand from Ty's shoulder, he moved Ty's chin with his hand, lifting as he saw the bruises on his neck. "Ty, what the hell happened?"
"Must have blacked out. shit BOSCO!" Ty coughed out as he began struggling to sit upright, realizing he moved too quickly as the room began to spin. Pausing, clutching his ribs harder he looked around at everyone standing over him. Frowning, he gave Lieu a look, his voice hoarse as he added, "We've got to stop him!"
Lieu, thinking he understood Ty's look, stood barking over his shoulder, "Shows over everyone! Move out!" Turning and giving everyone a stern look to show he meant business. Within seconds the locker room cleared, Lieu returning to a squatting position near Ty.
"Out with it Davis! Bosco? Bosco did this to you?" Lieu half-shouted, his face burning hot with irritation as he eyed Ty up, again moving his chin to see his throat.
Swallowing hard, tasting fresh blood, Ty lifting his hand pressing his index finger on his already swollen lip then looking at his finger to confirm he was bleeding, before clearing his pained throat stating, "No boss, Vinny, that sick FUCK Vinny. I knew it. Damn it I knew it, this is all my fault. I've got to warn Bosco. Sully tried to warn him, and me...SHIT." The last word shouted he began to cough.
"Slow down, Vinny did this to you?" Lieu questioned his hand now on Ty's back, not sounding as surprised as Ty thought he should, looking around making sure no one was listening before looking back to Ty.
Ty now in a half sitting position up against the lockers, holding his ribs tightly again, he rubbed his throat, taking a deep breath before attempting to stand, "Yeah boss, Vinny did this, attacked me and without warning. He's not right in the head boss. Oh my god, Lieu, Bosco's with him, we need to warn him! Bosco sets him off he's no match, I couldn't fight him off, he'll kill him."
Lieu listening, putting his arm out again, "Just stay put Davis. What do you mean we need to warn Bosco? Why would Bosco set him off? What are you not telling me? You're not making sense Davis."
"Vinny, he's one psychotic bastard. I'm telling you Lieu he's got some sick obsession with Bosco." Turning to look Dave in the eye, "I should have known, last week when we worked together. Him asking me personal questions about Bosco in the RMP, accusing me of being gay, starting the fight at Haggarty's, oh shit," Ty ended mumbling, looking straight ahead as if he was in deep thought.
Lieu, looking at Ty wondering if he bumped his head, "Fight at Haggarty's? You and Vinny got into it before? Why wasn't I informed? And you still haven't explained why you think Bosco is in danger Davis!" Lieu standing again, folded his arms across his chest looking at Ty for a response.
Ty unable to comprehend the idea of Vinny's words to him about no one keeping Bosco and him apart, looked up at Lieu, "I can't explain, I just know okay, he's sick, thinks that he and Bosco belong together or some shit like that. We've got to find them Boss, he has to know we'll be after him! After what he did to me," Ty paused, trying to put the right words together to convince Lieu of the gravity of the situation.
The locker room door opened at that moment slamming against the tiled wall behind it, Doc and Carlos entering, Carlos a few feet in front of Doc, yelling out, "Ty! Ty man you okay? Rushing over to Ty's side of the lockers, slamming his bag down on the bench, he bent forward to get a good look at his roommate and friend. "Guys up front said you were attacked! You okay?" The look on Carlos face was full of concern as he noticed Ty's busted lip, shock on his face as he saw the purpling finger marks on the sides of his neck, "What the hell?"
"Yeah bro, I'm fine, never better," Ty began trying to stand again with support from the lockers.
"Whoa, easy easy! Let me look at you, your face is all flushed," Carlos put his stethoscope in his ears and began to place it over Ty's heart.
Ty, pushing it away from him, "I'm fine. I don't want medical assistance." Turning he faced Lieu, "I'm serious Lieu, please, we've got to find Bosco. Haggarty's they were going to Haggarty's."
Lieu nodded his head, "I'll go make some calls. Let them check you out, that's an order Davis, then meet me in my office." Lieu stood, looking at Ty till Ty nodded in acknowledgment, before exiting the locker room. He already knew something about this situation that Ty had no knowledge yet of, and he was taking this serious, but didn't want his Officer to panic.
"Does it hurt anywhere?" Doc knelt down next to Ty, unzipping his bag.
"Mostly my ribs, but my neck, its hard to swallow," Ty responding, as he looked over to his coat resting on the bench.
"Hand me my coat will ya Carlos?" Ty asked as Doc began to lift Ty's shirt, Ty complying by raising his arms in the air.
"Definitely some bruising there Davis, we can take you to Mercy, have your ribs x-rayed for a possible fracture, but your throat, you defiantly need to get that looked at, looks like some swelling with the bruises, who did this, did you black out?" Doc stated touching the area gently to check for further injury, but was instantly cut off by Ty. "No Doc, thanks but no, I said I'm fine. Thanks man," reaching out for his coat from Carlos, pulling out his cell phone and dialing Bosco's cell number.
"DAMN IT!" Ty yelled clearing his throat as it protested the further abuse. Bosco's voice mail had picked up. Waiting impatiently for the beep, "Bosco! Man it's me. Listen, don't speak, just listen, pretend you have a bad connection, get to a crowded area! I know Vinny's with you. Bosco he's dangerous, he attacked me in the locker room for no reason after you left. Tried to choke me, beat me down man! He's got some sick fetish or something for you. This is NO JOKE Bosco, I'm not messing around, you need to get away from him before he goes mental on you too. Call me back as soon as you can will ya? Lieu is sending cars over for him, Bosco please, wait for back up, okay? Get away, we're coming for you bro."
"What's going on Ty?" Carlos questioned casting a concerned look at Doc, who was watching Ty intently, but Ty threw his finger up demanding silence.
Hitting end, sighing heavily, Ty dialed Sully's number. "Sul! It's me Ty, no, please Sul listen! You were right, Vinny's dangerous, he jumped me in the locker room after you left. Yeah, no, I'm okay, but I need you to come back to the house and pick me up." Pausing briefly, "He took Bosco, Sul, I know he did, he was ranting...look, I'll fill you in with all the details when you get here." Hitting end again Ty began the task of standing up, wincing as he did so. Halfway up Carlos reached his arm out grabbing Ty's arm, helping pull him up to a full stance.
Without another word, Ty began walking quickly limping slightly towards the door. "Hey Ty, where you going man? What's this with Bosco? Who's Vinny?" Carlos curiosity getting the best of him, looking at Davis astonished.
"To find Bosco. And Vinny? Vinny's a psycho who's going to turn out to be Bosco's worst enemy we don't find them soon," he muttered, never looking back, opening the locker room door and heading towards Lieu's office.
Knocking on Lieu's door, seeing Lieu motion for him to come in he entered the office, closing the door behind him, walking over, easing himself down in the black imitation leather visitor chair listening to Lieu's conversation.
"WELL KEEP LOOKING! I want squad cars all over that area, and check his place too! Both their places, I want Vetresco FOUND! He's to be considered armed and dangerous! YES I'm serious! Boscorelli may be in danger from him, he already attacked one of my Officers tonight, lets keep it from happening again why don't we!" Lieu slamming the phone down let out a huge sigh. Lowering his head he brought his hand up placing it over his eyes, gently massaging his temples.
"They weren't there were they?" already knowing the answer, Ty stood again.
"This isn't good Davis. I sent a squad to Haggarty's to pick Vinny up. It appears they never even showed up this evening. I already put Vinny's plates over the wire, hoping we can find their whereabouts that way." Lieu took a deep breath, not wanting to upset Ty anymore than he already was. Picking up a pen from his desk, he tapped it hard on the tablet in front of him, frowning as he contemplated how to tell his Officer what he'd found out only minutes before Ty had been found.
"What are you holding back Lieu? Look Bosco is my friend." Ty seized talking when he saw Lieu nod his head in compliance.
"This is bad Davis. I have an informant, an old academy buddy who works out of down town Chicago," Lieu pausing, "I put a call into him a few days ago about Vetresco, Sully came to me more than once, plus with all the other 'incidents' lately with him. My contact pulled some strings for me. It ah, it turns out Vinny had some problems up there. Not quite the choir boy hero the department had been led to believe he was." Lieu pausing again. Standing as if to sit would delay things, he began pacing the length of the small office.
"And?" Ty was growing more impatient by the second.
"You ever hear the name Denver Starke? Vinny ever mention him when you were around?" Lieu questioned arching one eyebrow at Davis to see him shake his head no before continuing. "He was Vinny's partner back in Chicago. He pressed charges on Vinny for sexual assault and battery."
"WHAT? Oh my god, no, Lieu NO!" Ty cut Lieu off, "I knew he was too interested in Bosco's personal....oh my god!" his voice quivering from utter shock as he realized the ramifications of the intensely personal questions Ty had avoided as well as his comments in the locker room about Ty and Bosco's friendship. Even his 'knowing' what was going on, and his own warnings to Swersky just now hadn't really prepared him for this.
"You heard me right Davis, he pressed charges. The mysterious part of it is Vinny's father was a big wig out there, died last year, took a heart attack. Rumor has it his father was helping him out of the situation. Attempting to pay the man off." Stopping, he picked up the phone, but before he dialed, he continued, "Davis, Starke disappeared before the trial ever started. So the charges were dropped, he wasn't heard from again, and no body found to this day." Lieu stopped pacing to look directly at Ty, who's facial expression had dropped to a huge frown. "Supposedly there was a note, but no one really bought it, claimed he couldn't take the humiliation of a trial after all and was leaving."
Seeing the shocked and now fearful look on Davis's face, Lieu put the phone down a moment.
"We are doing everything we can Davis, we'll find Bosco don't you worry," Lieu said, his voice full of certainty. "Davis? You listening?" Davis seeming to be in his own world again, snapping out of it, "Yeah boss I hear you. I'm sure you're right."
"Thanks Lieu for believing me, Sully's coming to pick me up, I better go wait for him," standing slowly again, looking towards the door, whispering to himself, "Where are you Bosco?"
As he walked out the door, forgetting to close it, he heard Lieu asking the same thing as he finished dialing the phone he'd picked up again, "Bosco, where the hell are you? This is Swersky, I need you to call me back as soon as you get this! We have a situation....."
