Three Shots
Chapter 7
Faith looked at Bosco. She couldn't believe he was standing in front of her. He couldn't be here; didn't he understand that she told him goodbye?
"Bosco… what are you doing here? Just go," she said, as she moved away from
the door. He looked at her.
"Faith, why are you doing this?" She turned around.
"You just need to go; one day you will understand." Bosco moved closer to her.
"Does this have something to do with Fred?" he
asked. She didn't know what to say to that.
"This has nothing to do with him. It's you; you're always getting me into trouble. I could have gotten shot, Bosco. Because of the mess you have with Cruz. I don't want to work with you
anymore." Bosco looked at her confused.
" Faith… what are you talking about? There's something more you aren't telling me. Faith, you were fine in the hospital, you said that we were okay. Did you lie to
me?" he shouted.
"Yes… I did. You just got of your coma. I couldn't really tell you that
everything wasn't fine," she said. She hated lying to him, but it was the best. If he
was angry with her, he would go and never talk to her again. Then
he would be safe. That's all that mattered to her; he was going to be
okay.
"You are lying to me," Bosco replied, "Look at me and tell me that you
don't want to be my partner." Faith moved away from him.
"You can't. Partners don't lie to each other, Faith. That's the reason we had
problems before, because we both lied to each other. Don't do it now." She turned around.
"I'm transferring out of the 55th." He didn't know what tosay to her.
"I know there is more to this, Faith!"
"Just go, Bos. Now!" she said, "I don't need you… just leave."
He looked at her, and could tell that she was upset.
"Did Fred do something to you... Did he hurt you?" he asked, concerned.
"No, Fred hasn't hurt me," Faith replied. Not the way you think, she
thought to herself. He grabbed her hand.
"Then what is it?"
"Just trust me soon. You will want nothing to do with me, I promise you
that," she said, as she walked away from Bosco and walked into the kitchen.
Bosco was still confused about what Faith was talking about, but there was
nothing else he could do.
"Fine… I'm leaving," he shouted, as he opened the door to leave. He suddenly
felt weird and everything went black.
Faith was walking out of the kitchen when she saw him on the floor.
"No! Bosco!" she screamed as she run to his side.
"Bos… don't leave me," she said.
He suddenly woke up and saw Faith holding him.
"Faith…" he said. She looked up at him.
"You are going to be okay," she said, as she helped him up.
"Why don't you have a seat and I will get you something to drink?" she
said, as she walked into the kitchen.
A few minutes later, she walked out of the kitchen, and handed him a drink
of water.
"Are you sure you are okay?" she asked. He looked at her.
"Why do you care so much if I am always getting you into trouble?" he asked. She sighed.
"I don't care," She then looked at him, "Should you even be out
of the hospital?" He smiled at her.
"I told the doctors that I had to get out of there and
just keep going on and on. They said that I have to come back in a few days
to check my wounds, but they said that I should be okay, as long as I don't
go back to work just yet."
"That is good. I'm glad that you are going to be okay, but you have to go
now. You can't be here." Bosco look into her eyes, and could see that she didn't want him to go; he's had many woman tell him to leave, but he knew that Faith didn't want him to
go. He grabbed her hand.
"Please talk to me." She moved her hand away from Bosco.
"No," she said.
"Do you think you will
be able to get home alright?" she asked.
"I'm sure I'll be fine," he said, as he stood up, and fell into her arms.
"I don't think you are ready just yet, Bosco," she said. She then saw that
Bosco was bleeding.
"Have you not changed your bandages yet?" she asked. He looked at her.
"I haven't been home yet.You were the first person that I saw as soon as I got
out of the hospital." Faith was taken back by this. She wanted to tell Bosco to just go home, but she couldn't do that when he was hurting because of what her husband did to
him.
"I'll get some bandages for you. Just stay there; don't move," she said.
Faith had just finished putting the bandages on for him. He smiled at her.
"You know you never could stay mad at me. Even though I don't know what I
did," he laughed. She looked at him.
"It's not you I'm mad at..."
"Atleast we are getting somewhere now." Faith looked at Bosco. She wanted to tell him everything, but she wasn't sure how he was going to react.
"How are you feeling now?" she asked. She could tell that he was tired.
"I'm fine," Bosco responded, "I want to know what is bothering you. I know
it is something important, because when Ty and Sully came by I could tell
that they knew something, but they wouldn't tell me."
"It's nothing," Faith answered quickly. She looked at him.
"Please, don't ask me anymore."
"Okay," Bosco replied.
Suddenly there is a knock at the door. Faith got up and answered it.
A few minutes later, she comes back with the pizza.
"You can have some of my pizza; I don't think I can eat it all."
"What about the kids and Fred? Where are they?" Bosco questioned. She looked
at him.
"The kids are at their friends' and Fred is out with his buddies," She
hoped that Bosco believed her.
"Let's eat," he said, as he grabbed a piece of pizza. She smiled at him. She
knew this was going to be the last time she and him ever spend time
together, so she might as well enjoy it.
Faith and Bosco was sitting and eating pizza and drinking coffee, just
being together.
"So Ma wasn't happy that I was coming over to your place right after I left
the hospital. I think she thought that I would be coming over to her place
to recover. I love my mom, but I don't think so. I just have a few wounds."
"Oh Bos… a few wounds…. You don't have to be tough for me, you know?" He smiled at her.
"I'm not being tough; I am really fine. Personally if you
really want to know.. I didn't want to be stuck in that hospital anymore."
"So you really didn't want to see me? You just want to get of the hospital." Bosco smiled.
"Of course I wanted to see you… I needed to see you is more like it. I wanted to know why you were so abrupt with me on the phone. I still
don't know why though. But I don't think you hate me that much I can get."
"Of course I don't hate you, Bos. Just don't ask me any more questions."
"Can I ask you just one more question?" he asked. She looked at him.
"Bos."
"Are you going to eat that last piece?" She looked at him, and smiled slightly.
"No, you can have it." Suddenly the phone rang, and she picked it up.
"Hello?" She stood up.
"Are you sure about this?" she asked, as she walked towards the kitchen.
Faith walked back into the living room, Bosco looked up at her. He saw that
she was pretty upset, and that she had been crying.
"Faith… what's wrong?" he asked, as he walked up to her. She looked at him..
"Fred….took.."
"Fred did what.. Faith?" he asked, as he grabbed her hand.
"He took my kids." Bosco looked at her confused.
"What are you talking about? Why can't Fred take his kids?" Tears were fall down her cheeks.
"Fred escaped from jail, and he took my kids with him. I don't know where they are.. they could be anywhere! Oh God, I could lost my
kids forever!"
"I still don't understand." Faith took a deep breath.
"It's my fault that you got stabbed. Fred was in
jail because he was the one that attacked you."
