Three Shots

Chapter 5

Faith was still in shock that her own husband committed a crime and it wasn't just
any crime. He tried to kill her partner. She thought that it was Cruz, or somebody that they arrested, but all along it was her husband.

"Fred, why did you do it?" she asked, angrily, still trying to deal with what he'd just told her.

"I wanted to finally get Bosco out of our family; he was ruining our marriage!,"

"No, Fred that is you. Do you think I will ever want to be with you again?" Faith said, as tears started to fall down her cheeks.

"Did you even know that he was in a coma when you stab him, not just once but twice."

"Faith," Fred said.. "I'm sorry, but you don't mean it. I know that you still want to be with me," he said, as he grabbed a hold of her, and leaned
over and kissed her. Faith pulled away, digusted.

"Don't touch me, Fred! Don't you ever touch me again!" she shouted. He looked at her. "I did this for us, you should know that."

"For us, Fred? You attempted murder for us?" Faith asked, "There is not going to be an us anymore. Do you hate Bosco so much that you would
kill him?"

"If that is what it takes to get him out of our life, then yes," Fred replied
without any remorse. Faith picked up the phone.

"Hello, this is Officer Faith Yokas, I have a
suspect in custody for the attempted murder of Officer Maurice Boscorelli... Okay, I'll see you in a few minutes," Faith replied, as she hung up the phone. Fred stared at her.

"You didn't just do what I think you do? How could you do that me?" Faith turned around.

"How I could do this to you? You are the one that
committed a crime! I'm just doing my job, Fred."

"Just so you know, Bosco was never a threat to our marriage," Faith replied,
as she tried to hold back her tears, but she couldn't and started to cry.

"But you said that you were finished with Bosco and you weren't going to
work with him anymore Faith," Fred replied, "What happened to that?"

"Fred, he will always be my partner. He wanted my help and I helped him; nothing happened to me, but plenty happened to him, especially when you
stabbed him!" Fred took a drink of his beer.

"I told you I did this for my family!"

"What about Bosco's family, if you had killed him, do you know what that would have done to his mom, and his brother," Or me, she thought to herself, she didn't want to think about what would have happened if Fred had killed
Bosco.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Faith opened the door and saw Sully and Ty standing in front of her. She'd been hoping they were going to
send someone that didn't know her, but nearly everybody at the station knew her and soon enough they would all know that it was her own husband that attacked Bosco. Sully looked at Faith.

"You said that you had the suspect in custody," he
said as he and Ty walked into the apartment.

"The suspect is right here," Faith replied, pointing at Fred. Both Ty and Sully weren't sure what to say.

"Have you read him his rights?" Sully asked.

"I didn't think I should seeing as he is my husband that might be conflict of interest," Faith replied, as she walked over to the window, still trying
to come to terms with everything that happened.

She heard Sully read Fred his rights and then Ty and Sully left with Fred in handcuffs. Faith was still in shocked; she couldn't believe that her own
husband would do something like this, what was she going to do now? She thought to herself, as she put her hands on her face, and started to cry,
not just for herself, but for Bosco.

Suddenly she heard someone called her name and she looked up and saw Emily and Charlie standing in front of her.

"Mom is everything okay?" Emily asked, as she could see that her mom had been crying. Faith wiped away her tears.

"I'm fine."

"Where's daddy?" Charlie asked. Faith knew that she couldn't tell her kids what just happened with their dad, just yet, she had to figure out exactly
how she was going to tell them.

"Your dad had to go out," was the best thing that Faith could think of right now.

"Okay," both Emily and Charlie said as they walked away from Faith, leaving
her on her own. Faith sat on the couch, and started to think about everything that happened since Bosco got shot, when she thought it was
already over and everything was going to be okay, something else happened to make it worse.

"Mom.." said a voice. Faith looked up.

"Hey Em." Emily sat down next to Faith.

"Tell me the truth, mom, I know something is
wrong. I'm not a kid anymore; I'm 15."

"Emily, nothing is wrong." Emily glanced at her mother.

"I know that there were police officers here,
and I think it has something to do with dad."

"Why do you think that?" Faith asked. Emily looked at her mom. "While we were at the cabin, he was acting weird and then he left us for a few hours."
Faith couldn't' believe it, Fred left the kids alone while he tried to kill Bosco.

"I can't talk about it right now, honey, but I will tell you later," Faith replied.

"Yeah whatever mom," Emily said, as she walked away from Faith.

"Emily, wait," Emily turned around. "What mom?"

"Could you look after Charlie, while I go out?"

"Sure, mom," Emily said, as she walked away from Faith. Faith sighed. She didn't know what to say to Emily yet, how was she suppose to tell her
daughter that her own father tried to kill Bosco.

But she would think of something, she had to.

Faith was walking down the corridor to Bosco's room; she didn't know how she was going to do this, but she had to say goodbye to Bosco.

She walked into his room, and she walked up to him and saw that he was sleeping, which is she was happy about, as it would make it easier for her.

She sat down next to him.

"Hey Bos, this is going to be the hardest thing
that I've ever had to do," she said, as she grabbed his hand.

"I found the person who attacked you; it was Fred. I'm so sorry; it is all my fault." she said as tears started to fall down her cheeks.

"I'll never forget you, Bos. We been through some rough times, but in the end we were always there for each other. That's why I am doing the best
thing for you; I am saying goodbye. I don't want you to get hurt anymore because of me." She leaned over and kissed his forehead.

She then stood up and walked away from him, with tears falling down her cheeks, she turned around.

"Goodbye Bosco," she said, as she walked out of the room and out of Bosco's
life forever.
