Three Shots

Chapter 10

"Don't do it, Bos! No!" Faith yelled as she watched in horror as he tried to grab the knife out of Fred's hand. She couldn't let him do it; he
couldn't get hurt again because of her. She runs towards them.

"Bosco!" she said as she grabbed the knife out of his hand. He looked up at her.

"Faith, get the kids away!" She looked up at
him.

"I'm not leaving you alone; I don't want to see you get hurt because of me again."

"Faith, do what I say… Save Emily and Charlie! Forget about me; I can take care of myself." She looked up at him.

"Faith, do what I say now!" She then carefully got the kids away from Fred's grasp. Fred looked at Bosco.

"This is what I had to put up for all those years. Faith caring more about you than me." Faith got into between the two of them.

"I'm not going to let you get hurt, Bos."

"What about me, Faith? Don't you care what happens to me?" Faith looked at Fred, holding the knife in her hands. She had some much anger inside of her, because of Fred, but she couldn't get angry not when her kids are there.

"Shut up, Fred! I don't even what to listen to you. I hate you for what you are doing to our kids... Do you see them by Bosco's car? Fred, they are scared out of their minds, because you lost yours! You threatened your own children. How could
you do that?"

"I told you why Faith. It's all because of Bosco!"Fred replied.

"Stop blaming him! He didn't make you did this. You have to take some
responsibility here, Fred," Faith told him.

"Faith… let me deal with Fred. Just take your kids home and make sure that
they are okay." Faith turned to Bosco.

"I'm not leaving you alone." Fred couldn't handle this… He was going to get rid of Bosco once and for all. He grabbed the knife out of Faith's hand.

"I'm going to kill you once and for all, Bosco!" Faith and Fred started to struggling with the knife.

"Don't do this, Fred. Not in front of your kids. I know you love them… You wouldnever want to hurt them, but you will, if you kill Bosco in front of them. They are going to be damaged for the rest of their lives. Think about it, Fred."

"I don't care.. "

"No, Fred, don't!" she yelled still holding onto the knife. She couldn't let Bosco get hurt again.

"Faith, no..." Bosco yelled as he saw her collapsed onto the ground. He knelt down next to her.

"Bos…" she said in a soft voice.

"It's going to be okay, Faith. You'll be
fine." She looked up at Bosco.

"Tell Em and Charlie that I love them and I'm sorry that this happened," she said. Bosco looked at her.

"You can tell him yourself, because you are going to be fine! I promise!" Fred then
looked up at her.

"Faith… I didn't want to hurt you; it was Bosco I wanted you just got int he middle, again!"

"Don't you understand by hurting Bosco; you are hurting me!" Faith spoke. Fred shaked his head.

"Faith, we can be together again; I know we can. I'm sorry about everything that happen these past few days, but we can work
things out. We always do, honey."

"Fred, don't you realize by everything that you did I can never be with you," she said as she started to cough. Fred just looked at her. He was about to start running, when Emily walked up to him.

"I don't think you are going anywhere, dad." She looked up at her dad, upset.

"Is she going to be okay?"

"Em, she'll be fine, but I need you to do something for me," Bosco asked.

"Get Charlie into the my car and make him stay there," Bosco replied, throwing her the keys.

"Then call 911 and tell them that your mom is hurt and that Fred is in custody and then stay with your mom and make sure that she is okay." Emily nodded.

"He's leaving; Go get him, Bosco! Don't let him get away." Faith looked up at Bosco.

"Listen to her; I'll be fine, just get him. But please be careful; I can't lose you." Bosco nodded.

"You won't lose me," he said, as he started to run after Fred.

"Mom… you can't go after them! You're hurt. You have to wait for the
ambulance to show up," Emily explained.

"Honey, if I don't go after them, your dad is going to kill Bosco. I can't let
that happen. I am fine now.. I just have a little cut; I need to go after
them. I can't stand here and argue with you."

"But you are bleeding."

"It's not as bad as you think, Em. But Bosco needs my help. I'm his partner; I should be there for him."

"But mom..."

"Emily..." Faith replied, as she slowly started running down the street with
her gun in her hand.

"I'll be fine, Emily!" she shouted. Emily shook her head. She just prayed that her mom and Bosco were going to be okay. The way her dad was acting, it was like he was
a different person.

"Just be careful!" Emily shouted as her mom run down the street. Faith
turned around.

" I will, I promise!" Faith didn't know where she was going; she just hopes that she found Bosco in time. She couldn't lose him.

Bosco was walking down the street, looking for Fred. He didn't know where
he was, but he had to find him. He couldn't let him get away with everything that he did. Suddenly he saw Fred walking down the street near the bridge. Bosco started running.

"Fred… stop… there is no where else to go.. This the end," Bosco replied as he pulled out his gun.

"You are under arrested for kidnapping Emily and Charlie Yokas..."

"I didn't kidnap them; they are my own kids. Damn it! I wouldn't do that. I just had
to get them away from Faith." Bosco couldn't believe how crazy Fred was. He had
really lost it.

"I'm never going to jail!" Fred said, as he moved towards Bosco. Bosco aimed
his gun at Fred.

"It's over, Fred."

"For you maybe," Fred laughed as he jumped Bosco, throwing the gun away
from them.
Bosco punched Fred in the stomach. "This is for Faith, Charlie and Emily!" Fred throws a punch at Bosco's stomach. Bosco felt a
pain in his side from where Fred had attacked him in the hospital, but it
didn't matter to him right now. He knew that if Fred got his gun it would be all over for him. Bosco punched Fred again.

"Just deal with it; it's all over."

"This isn't over, until you are dead, Boscorelli!" Fred yelled. Bosco
punched Fred in his face and ran towards his gun. He grabbed it.

"I think you are on out of luck now."

"Then why don't you just shot me?" Fred yelled, "You won't because you know
if you shoot me. Faith will want never want anything to do with you!"

"Don't bet on it, Fred!"

"Come on shoot me…" Fred said.

"You won't, will you? You'd rather me be alive than lose Faith. There is nothing that can happen to me, I'm safe," Fred replied, as he jumped Bosco trying to get the gun out of his hand. Fred was punching Bosco.

"You are going to die." Fred yelled as he grabbed the gun out of Bosco's
hand.

"Say goodbye." But before Fred could do anything, he suddenly collapsed on the ground with
a gunshot wound in his chest, but it wasn't from Bosco's gun. Bosco looked
up and saw Faith standing there.

"Faith" Bosco replied. "What are you doing here?"

"He was trying to kill you; I had to stop him. It was self defense," Faith
replied, in shock that she just shot her now ex- husband. Bosco ran
to her.

"Faith, you are hurt. You shouldn't have came here."

" B… o.s " she said, suddenly as she collapsed on the ground.
