CHAPTER TWO

"Bosco. Bos? Help" Faith yelled, still struggling with her attacker.

"I…I can't" Bosco said to himself.

Davis found the light switch and turned the lights back on.

Bosco couldn't hear Faith anymore and went looking for his partner, who was actually only one room away.

He walked in the room and found Faith unconscious and her shirt covered in blood. He knelt down, lifted her up, so her head was resting on his lap. After 2 minutes she woke up

"bosco?" Faith said in a very soft voice. Bosco tried to smile at her, lifting her shirt up, trying to find the wound, but all he could find was blood.

"I'm here Faith. I'm here"

"Faith, Bosco. Where are you?"

"Over here Sully, room 215. " Bosco yelled back " Helps on the way."

"My head and my stomach"

"It's okay, just a scratch. Tomorrow you'll be able to clean up after Fred again"

A tear escaped from her eye, which Bosco softly wiped away with his thumb. How could he be this stupid. Leaving his partner alone like that and not responding to her cry for help. He failed, his father was right, he was really a failure. His should have had her back no matter what.

Bosco helped Carlos putting Faith on the bed. The entire ride he was looking at her, and her eyes never left his. When they finally arrived at the hospital Bosco still wouldn't leave her side.

"You can't come in here"

"I want to stay with her"

"I'm sorry"

"Come on Bosco." Sully said sympathetically putting his hand on his shoulder and slowly moving him backwards.

After less than an hour Proctor came out of the room.

"She's fine Bosco. Just a nasty head wound. And some stitches for her stomach. She's going to have to spend the night because of the severe blood loss but she's gonna be alright.

"Can I go see her?"

"Sure. She's been asking for you."

"Hey How are you feeling?" He asked while coming closer to her.

"I'm okay. My head is a bit swore and my stomach hurts like hell, but I guess I'm fine. "

"I'm sorry I didn't get to you in time, I didn't hear you untill later. I'm sorry"

"I know, don't worry about it. Right now I'm just tired"

"I'll let you get some sleep. I'm just going to grab a coke then I'll be back."

"You don't have to."

"I'll be here."

In the hallway he ran into Sully, who was still at the hospital waiting for news on Faith

"How is she?"

"She's fine. She's tired and hurting but they gave her painkillers so…"

"What happened back there Bosco?"

"I told you."

"What really happened."

"Nothing, I was in an other room and by the time I got there she was unconscious and the jagoff was gone."

"Bosco, whatever happened, she deserves to know."

With these words Sully left Bosco He knew Sully was telling the truth. Faith indeed had a right to know. Hell it almost got her killed tonight, so he went back to her room tell her the truth.
