CHAPTER THREE
It has been several weeks since Bosco woke up and met his newborn son. Faith had never seen him so happy, she could tell he loved Mickey more than anything in the world. If only his physical training would go that well... He was glad he had Faith, who stood by him faithfully.
"hey. Where's mikey" "He is with Em, she's euh she's taking him to the park." She tried to smile, but he knew his partner better than that. Something was wrong. He kept asking just until the tears fluently rolled down her cheeks.
"It's euh .the court … the court took Charlie away this morning. Fred…. Fred is getting....custody."
"What?... Why, I mean you were doing so well"
FLASHBACK EARLIER THAT MORNING:
Lawyer:" Your Honor, We have come upon evidence that we can't ignore. A few months ago Miss Mitchel has killed a man called Donald Mann." " Miss Parton, I think, considering Miss Mitchell her work, killing a man is say… normal"
"Not in this case Your Honor. This is Miss Mitchell her statement It says, and I mark: these are Miss Mitchell her words: I shot him because I thought he killed my partner. I didn't care what happened to me.. Should I continue?" "That won't be necessary." "you see, Miss Mitchell killed a man in cold blood because he allegedly killed her partner. She didn't even care what happened to her. She was so convinced that she to avenge her partner, she forgot she had a family to take care of. Imagine if she was convicted, what would've happened to her children. And more importantly what happens to young Charlie if this happens again??? Therefore we feel that both children should be in sole custody of Mister Fred Yokas."
"As previously the court thinks Emily Yokas is old enough to decide for her self, but as for Charlie the court grants sole custody to Mister Fred Yokas. Adjourned."

"I euh I just work to many hours." She lied. "Anyway I.. I still have the weekends and Em and Michael. "
"I'm here for you" "I know but you need to concentrate on getting better again, so you can leave the hospital and come back to work in a while."
"Doctor said I'm doing pretty good. Maybe I can go home in a week." " A week huh, that's great. I gotta go, Jelly's waiting. I'll come by this evening and I'll bring Michael if he doesn't cry too much " "We know who he got that from. Cuz I was a good baby" They both laughed and she gave him a kiss on his forehead.
His peaceful afternoon came soon to an end when Cruz came to visit him. She hadn't been by since he was awake or at least he hadn't seen her. She could have come when he was sleeping or so anyway he didn't care if she didn't came or if she did.
"How are you doing?" "Okay I guess. So what brings you here." "I .. I thought I could visit you for once, talk to you or something. I don't know I guess I missed you."
" right" There was an uncomfortable silence between the ex- lovers. He hadn't really paid attention to her after he thought it was Cruz her fault, his brother was murdered.
She did gave it a shot to make it up to him by coming to his house and bringing him and his mother something to eat but he didn't want anything to do with her. In a way that hurt her, she did care about him…
She was about to leave when Bosco asked: " Cruz, what happened to mann?" "She didn't tell you?" "No, I asked it once but we were interrupted and I just haven't had the chance to bring it up again"
"He was killed during his arrest. Nothing more to tell really, I gotta go now. Get well soon"
"Cruz.. Who shot him?" She let a big sight "It's a long story…I " "I did" Faith said, standing in the doorway. Cruz looked shocked but realized that this was her cue to leave. So she said goodbye and yes padded on Faith's shoulder.
"You did?" " When they were working on you, I overheard a conversation between Cruz and Yoshi. He gave her the address where Mann was staying so not long after she left and after checking up on you I left to. When I arrived Cruz has handcuffed him already but when I saw the look on his face I couldn't help myself. I shot him once and then I just kept firing. He hell in the pool and that's when Cruz jumped in and un cuffed him. She threw the knife, she found at the hospital, in the pool and made it look like he was going to attack us. I just didn't care, you know I thought he killed you and I felt like my world was falling apart. Fred and the kids leaving, you.. I just didn't care" She started to snob.
He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Faith, his Faith avenged him. She did something he never thought she was capable of doing. She murdered someone in cold blood, for him. He knew now more than ever that he loved her. And that he couldn't live without her. He helped her put her head against his chest and whispered "Marry me"
