Three Shots

Chapter 3

Faith stood there frozen in front of the nurse.

He was attacked.

She the scene kept playing in her head. She couldn't believe it; not Bosco. Hasn't he
been through enough today? Today started out good and it is turning into
the worst day of her life. She was going through so many emotions, but mostly anger. Who would want to hurt Bosco?

She could still remember the first day that she first met Bosco. She chuckled as she thought about how she thought he was an arrogant guy, who thought that he knew everything. She wasn't wrong about him, but there was more to Bosco than anybody knew.

She then remembered a memory they had a few years ago.

'I-- I just didn't want to be dumping my stuff on anybody.'

'It's me, Faith. It's me. I'm not anybody.'

Suddenly the nurse said something bringing Faith back to the present.

"We have to take Mr. Boscorelli to the operating room now. Would you like to
see him before we take him?" she asked. Faith ran over to Bosco and grabbed a hold of his hand.

"Everything is going to be okay. You promised me that you wiould always be there for me and you've never broke a promise. Don't you dare start now," she said as she kneel down to him. The nurse looked at her.

"We have to get him up to OR now," she said, as
Faith let go of Bosco, and let them away with Bosco. She watched as they
wheeled him into the elevator and sighed as a single tear run down her cheek.

"Faith." She turned around.

"Ty, hey," she said, as she wiped away the tear away from her
cheek.

"What happened, Faith? We got a call about Bosco," he said, as he put his
hand on her shoulder.

"Last we heard was that Bosco was in a coma, but was in stable condition,"
Sully replied. Faith looked at Ty and Sully.

"Bosco was attacked in his hospital room, just about half an hour ago," she said, upset.

"I'm sorry," Ty replied, not sure what to say to Faith, as he knew how much
Bosco meant to her and how afraid she was just a few hours ago when he was in
surgery. He wasn't sure how more she was going to be able to take. Faith nodded.

"I just can't understand what happened," she said, clearly
still very shaken up.

"Why don't you sit down," Sully said, walking over to the waiting area.
Faith followed Sully and Ty. She sat down, and sighed, as she put her hand on her face.

"Faith, he's going to make it. It's Bosco."

She looked up at Ty. "But how much can one person take?"

Faith shook her head. "I should have been here for Bosco. I should have
stay. I don't even know why I went home; all I could think of was Bosco.
This is my entire fault," Faith replied as she stood up.

"Faith, this isn't your fault, it is whoever did this to him," Sully said.
Faith looked at him. "I don't even know why they would attack him; he was
already weak from his gunshot wounds."

She then saw the nurse that was in his room walking by.

"Excuse me," Faith replied as she went up to her.

"You were working in my partner's room before
they took him up to the OR, right?"

The nurse nodded.

"So what happened to Bosco? You said that he was attacked, but how?" Faith
asked.

"I was checking on Mr. Boscorelli when I saw that he was bleeding from the
chest, so I thought something was wrong with his gunshot wounds, but then
when I opened up his gown I saw that he was stabbed in the chest," The nurse looked at Faith, sensing that Faith wanted to know more.

"I wish that I could tell you more, but that is all I know," the nurse said as she
walked away from Faith. Faith then went back to Sully and told him
everything that the nurse told her. Faith was sitting down when someone came
up to her.

"Is Bosco okay?" Faith turned around, and saw Cruz standing in
front of her. She stood up.

"What are you doing here? You are the reason that he is in
this mess. Did you try to kill him in his hospital room? Are you here to see
if it worked?"

"Faith, stop," Sully said, getting in between the two of them.

"It's okay, Sully, I just wanted to know why Cruz did this. Did you know that
Bosco was in a coma when you stab him, not once but twice?"

Cruz's face was full of shock and fear.

"Who did this to him?" Cruz asked. Faith looked at Cruz.

"I know that you did this!"

"Faith, that is enough," Sully replied, he then turned to Cruz. "I think it
is time for you to go."

"I just wanted to make sure that Bosco was okay," Cruz replied.

"You know now, so I think you really should be going now," Sully said.

"Fine," she said as she walked out of the hospital. Faith looked at Sully.

"Why did you let her go? I would have got a
confession out of her soon enough?"

"No, you wouldn't have because she's not guilty, I saw the fear in her eyes,
she was worried about Bosco."

"I don't believe it, Sully, she was the only one that could have done it,"
Faith said. "Unless it was Noble."

"I know you want to know who did this, but you are drawing at straws right
now." Ty then walked up to them.

"I got you some coffee," he said, handing her the
cup. "Why don't you sit down and relax."

"Thank you, Ty, but I'm not going to be able to relax, not when my partner
is up in the operating room fighting for his life," she said, as she put the
cup of coffee on the table. Faith sat down.

"I don't know what I would do if I lost Bosco." Even just thinking about the possibility that he wasn't going to make it made her start to cry. Ty and Sully sat down next to her.

"Don't think about that right now, he is going to make it," Ty replied.
Faith looked up at Ty. "I want to believe that, I really do, but he has
already had surgery today, as much can he take?"

Then suddenly Faith stood up. "I'm going to do the only thing that I can do
to help Bosco, I'm going to find his attacker," she said.

"No, you aren't, you are exhausted," Faith heard what they both were saying,
but it didn't mean anything to her. No one hurts Bosco.

"Thank you both for being here, but I really need to be alone right now,"
she said, as she started to walk away.

"You really shouldn't be alone," Ty replied. "Our shift just finished, the
call about Bosco was our last call, we can stay here as long as you need
us."

"She's not alone, "said a voice. They turned around and saw Rose Boscorelli
standing in front of them. Faith walk up to Rose and hugged her.

"If you need us, just call," Ty said, as he and Sully walked away.

"So you heard about Maurice?"

"Were you here, Rose when it happened?" Faith asked. Rose looked at Faith.
"No, I decided to go and get something to eat, and when I got back, I saw
his room empty. It took me so long to find a doctor and find out what
happened to him." Faith nodded.

"I was coming to see him as I couldn't sleep, and that is
when I find out that he was attacked, I'm sorry that I wasn't here for him,
I could have stop it if I didn't go home."

"It's not your fault," Rose replied, as she hugged her. "I just don't
understand how this happened."

"I don't understand either, but I'm going to make sure that find out who did
this to him, and make sure that they pay for," Faith replied.

Rose knew that Faith meant it, and would make sure that whoever did this to
her son would pay. Rose grabbed Faith's hand. "He's going to be fine, he
won't leave me," she said. "Or you."

The next morning, Faith and Rose were sitting waiting to hear word on Bosco, when Rose turned to Faith.

"I don't know how much more I can take of this, Faith." Faith hugged Rose.

"I know what you mean," Faith then looked up and saw Dr.
Fields coming towards them.

"Officer Yokas, and Ms. Boscorelli, Officer Boscorelli is in ICU, he barely made it through the surgery." Faith looked at the doctor.

"But he is okay?" Dr. Fields looked at both Rose and Faith.

"He has been through a big ordeal, he was shot in his chest, and stabbed
twice in his chest, one was near his heart, he is very lucky to be alive."
"But he is going to make a full recovery, isn't he?" Rose asked.

"I don't know what to say. I'm sorry; we are going to have to wait until he
wakes up, that is all that I can say."

"Thank you, doctor," Rose said, as the doctor walked away. Rose sat down, and put her hands on her face. "I can't believe this all happened to my son, in one day, why did happen?"

"I don't know, Rose." Rose looked at Faith.

"Why don't you go home? I'm sure your children want to
see you?"

"They aren't there. They have gone away with their dad for a few days," Faith
replied. Faith then looked up and saw Lieutenant Swersky and a police
officer coming towards them.

"Rose, why don't you go and see Maurice, and make sure that you don't leave
his side until I came there." Rose nodded, and walked away. Faith stood up and walked up to Swertsky and the police officer.

"So what is this I hear about Bosco getting attacked?" Licentcent Swertsky
asked. Faith then explained everything that happened to Bosco.

"I brought Officer Shores and he is going to guard Bosco's room." Faith nodded.
Swersky faced Officer Shores.

"Why don't you go to Officer Boscorelli
room?" Faith then told him the room number. The officer then walked away from them.

"Okay Yokas, tell me exactly what happened. Davis and Sully couldn't get
much information. Whoever did this got away and the nurses or doctors
didn't see anybody in the room." Faith took a deep breath before she spoke.

"I don't know any more details than Davis and Sully, all I know is that Bosco was attacked in his hospital room. He was stabbed twice. He has been in surgery most of the night. I
can't lose him, boss."

"Is he still in a coma?"

"Yes he is," Faith replied. "But I'm going to figure out who did this to
him."

"No, you aren't. That isn't your job," Swersky replied.

"This isn't just any case; this is Bosco!"

"He would do the same thing for me; I have to find out who did this to him.
I think we need to talk to Noble first. He was in custody all night, and
then we should talk to Cruz as well."

"Faith, you aren't going to do anything. You are going to take a few days
off."

"No, I need to help Bosco."

"The only way you are going to help Bosco is if you take a few days and
relax. You looked exhausted; you aren't to be able to do anything, not when
you are worried about Bosco."

"I just want to know who did this to him," Faith said.

"I know, you do, and we will." Faith looked at Swersky.

"Fine, I won't do anything right now."

"I'm going to go and see Bosco now, "she said, as she started to walk away.
She then turned around.

"Please find out who did this, Boss."

Faith walked into his room, and saw Rose sitting next to him.

"Hey," Faith said, as she put her hand on her shoulder. Rose looked up.

"He's still the same; he hasn't woke up yet." Faith sat down.

"Why don't you go and take a break. I'll stay here."

"Thank you, Faith for everything you did for my son."

"I didn't do anything," Faith replied. If I did, he wouldn't have gotten
attacked, she thought to herself, as she waved goodbye to Rose as she walked
out of the room. Faith grabbed Bosco's hand.

"Hey Bos, I'm so sorry about everything. I should have been there for you," she said. "You would have been there for me."

"It is bad enough that you were shot, but to get stabbed as well. I don't
know what I am going to do, I can't lose you."

"I know that we weren't on the best of terms lately, but you are my partner and you always will be, so I can't lose you. Please wake up for me." She then touched his face.

"I promise you, I will get whoever did this to
you. I won't let anybody hurt you ever again," She put her hands on her
face, and sighed. She heard the machines making noises. She knew they were helping him, but it looked the opposite. It was so hard for her to
see him like this. She sighed, and grabbed his hand, and start to drift off
to sleep.

A few hours later,

Faith felt someone touch her shoulder; she looked and saw a nurse standing
in front of her.

"Visiting hours are over," the nurse said.

"How long have I been here?" Faith said, as she sat up, letting go of
Bosco's hand.

"You have been here since 9 in the morning."

"What time is it now?" Faith questioned.

"2 o clock in the afternoon."

"Oh," Faith said. "He hasn't woken up yet has he?" The nurse shook her head.

"No, there has been no change in his condition." Faith looked at Bosco, looking all pale. She sighed. Bosco is a fighter. He has wake up and get better.

"I know Bosco well enough to know that he is going to wake up very soon,"
Faith told the nurse. The nurse looked at her.

"I hope you are right." Faith then went up to Bosco.

"I'll be back later," she said. As Faith was
walking out of the room, Rose came up to her.

"Faith, go home, and get some rest."

Faith looked at Bosco through the windows with all the tubes in him .

"I don't know if I can leave." Rose took Faith's hand.

"I'm staying here and there is going to be a police officer outside of his door; he's going to be fine." Faith nodded, but at the same time she wasn't sure if she wanted to leave,
not after what happened last time. But she knew that she had to go for a
while.

"I'll come back later," Faith told Rose, as she walked out of the
hospital room.

Faith walked up to the door, and knock once, but the person didn't open the
door, so she knock again.

A few seconds later, the person opened the door.

"I'm not talking to you," the person said as she started to shut the door. Faith pushed the door
open.

"You are going to talk to me and you are going to tell me everything."

"I told you I didn't hurt him."

"Well you are going to have make me believe that, Cruz."
