Back to the NYPD 7- Rude Awakening

As Sully and Ty stand there and watch Bosco and Faith hold each other in a big hug, Bosco finally pulls away first. He has a big smile on his face, he looks so happy to finally be home, but little does he know that he is about to receive some of the worst news that he has gotten since… well since his brothers death.

"Faith, what are you doing here?" Bosco asks as he comes over and gives Sully and Ty and hug as well.

"Umm, let's not talk about that yet." Ty pipes in and they all walk back into the kitchen and have a seat at the table

"Well guys, I am home, who's gonna be the first to tell me about all the stuff I've missed over the last three years." Bosco asks still with the big smile on his face because he is so happy to see his friends as well as the women that he loves.

"Have you talked to Swersky yet?" Sully asks first before Faith can even start to begin to tell him the news about his mother. Sully thinks it will be better to ease into that, instead of just hitting him with that bombshell right away.

"Umm, no I was gonna come into the precinct tomorrow. I think all I'll really have to do is re-qualify at the range, because I really only took a leave of absence. I didn't retire, so I shouldn't have to go through any classes. Maybe just ride, with Sully, or Davis for a while." Sully and Davis just both looked at each other and mocked Bosco by doing paper rock scissors to see which one was gonna get stuck with him.

"Very funny guys." Bosco says as he opens a beer and throws the cap at them.

"Maybe he can ride with Finney." Davis jokes.

"Yeah that would be a great team. Hot head and glory hog." Sully adds.

"Which one is Bosco?" Ty jokes again.

All Bosco can do is laugh. "Wow, I didn't realize how much I missed you guys." Bosco says with warm smile on his face. The smile that makes Faith melt every time she sees it, but Faith knows that she has to tell Bosco about his Ma, and she has to do it now.

"So why you guys here? Checkin up on Ma? Cause she's not here. I think she's working. I called the bar but there was no answer." as Bosco heads to the fridge for another beer.

"Well, that's why were kinda here Bos." Faith finally says.

"What is it?" he says. The permanent smile that he has had since they got there is starting to fade.

"Lets go into the other room." Faith says and Bosco gets up and follows her. The tears in Faith's eyes are already starting to well up. She's having trouble keeping her emotions in check. She didn't think that she was going to have to tell Bosco about this so soon, and in person for that matter, but she has to stay strong. She has to be the one that's there for him, because now he really doesn't have anybody but her.

Faith gathers up her emotions. Bosco's eyes have not left her for one moment. It's like he already knows what she's going to say. "Bosco something awful happened today." Faith starts off saying, but breaks down before she can even say a word.

"I …….am…so…ssoo…sorry Bos." Faith says in between sobs.

"Sorry about what Faith?" Bosco says, now worried about his mother.

Faith try's to gather herself again but can't. Sully and Ty hear the crying from the kitchen and come and join them in the living room. Sully looks at Faith crying. Bosco is now holding her like it was her mother that had just died. Sully realizes that Faith has not told Bosco about his mother yet, and he knows that it will have to be him again that breaks the news to Bosco.

"You know that DOA we had earlier?

"What about it?

"We got an ID and, uh…"

"And?"

"It's your brother."

"What, he's connected somehow?"

"No, Bosco, it's him."

"It's Michael."

"This is wrong. This…it's wrong. You guys are wrong. I'll call him."

"Bosco, it's Michael."

"I just talked to him yesterday."

"I'm sorry, man."

"Come on…No. You're wrong. You're wrong."

That's all Sully can think about as he is about to tell Bosco that now his mother is dead. Them telling him his brother was dead didn't go well. This was going to be even worse.

"Umm, Faith got a call about a body today. When she went to the apartment building she found that it was your mother." Sully says with a grim look on his face

As soon as the words leave Sully's mouth Faith feels Bosco's body go limp. He's not holding her any more. His arms have fallen to the sides of his body, but Faith doesn't here anything. No crying, no talking, no nothing.

"We're sorry Bos." Ty says, but still nothing from Bosco.

"Bosco are you ok?" Faith asks as she steps away from him. When she looks at him in the eyes she sees nothing. No emotion in his eyes like the life has been pulled right from him. In a way it has, and then it comes out of no where like a train barreling towards them.

Bosco snaps! He grabs the end table with a lamp and a picture of him on it and tossed it across the room almost hitting Ty, as it fly's by. He then picks up the remote and launches it across the room breaking the front window in the house. The tears are still not there its all anger.

"You're lying." Bosco says quietly.

"You're a liar." a little louder.

"She's alright!" even louder, almost a scream.

"You're lying, you're lying! You tell me she's all right! TELL ME SHE'S ALL RIGHT!" Bosco says now screaming at the top of his lungs.

Then Bosco collapse's to his knees, and starts sobbing uncontrollably. While on the ground Faith comes over to him and starts to hold him. The tears start to fall again from her eyes. Sully and Davis are now starting to clean up the mess from Bosco's rampage.

"This can't be happening. Everything was supposed to be better. Everything is supposed to good. I am supposed to be happy. I hate New York!" Bosco says crying even harder on Faith's shoulder………………………………….
