A/N: I warn you now; things are going to get very twisted, every man/woman for themselves. The unthinkable happens. Not saying anything else, just read. A little tidbit, I'm running out of injuries.

It all happened so fast one minute, he was telling her that he wanted to touch her everywhere, the next he was pushing her out of the way from an oncoming car. She wasn't hurt physically, not like Bosco who had been in the O.R. for hours now; she only had cuts and scrapes from rubbing against concrete rail. They would go away in a day or two.

So many people had shown up, once they heard Black call in a ten-thirteen, she didn't know why she did that, the risk was over now, Bosco was laying on the ground blood everywhere. Ashley had run over to see the damages, so much blood, it was everywhere even on her. She hadn't spoken a word to anyone except the nurses who asked her if she hurt anywhere. They'd taken some blood, just as a precautionary they told her, a precautionary for what?

She would be in trouble when the Capt. found her; she put his an officers life at risk unnecessary. But if it had been her, how long would she had to wait if she went alone? Carter had just checked in with her, before she left and told her that he wouldn't be calling for another hour. Would the passers-by notice her? It was hard to say. They were traveling speed at an excess of 80 mph. One second and they passed over her.

That's why she sat in the bathroom in a stall at the end, with her feet up on the toilet so no one would see her in there, she messed up big time. But hiding here wasn't going to give her news about Bosco, that was something she would have to settle with, she didn't know if she could face anyone with out crying, she tried seven times now to go out but every time she got up to unlock the stall a new batch of tears would come again.

An invisible force was out to get them, everyone of them had been hurt now, first Cruz with her gunshot and herself being beat up and broken ankle, Hayden with the accident and now Bosco may die because she needed to see something that she already knew. He was hit in the same place that Faith was killed, how weird was that?

When would it all end, when would she wake up, and when would life go back to normal? When could her and Bosco go on living their lives the way they were, in secret no one knowing except two others that went on behind the closed doors of her apartment. She couldn't speak for Black, if she knew about them or not, she hadn't worn the brown jacket since that night, they had been standing in a street lamp, they had been far enough away so that she couldn't see their faces but what they were wearing.

Enough hiding she had to face the problem at hand, if she was fired so be it, at least she knew the case would be solved, or would it? She was the only one who had time to do it, and with her gone no one would and the little bastard would go free. That's the justice system for ya.

The Capt. Was yelling at Black in front of everyone else, she really didn't hear it but should hear the voices, as she walked closer she could understand what was being said, and Black was taking it all in, her eyes moist but not one single tear had fallen, her eyes were red and a bit puffy but she hadn't been crying for a while anyone could tell.

"And exactly what were you doing in the car while Ryans and Boscorelli were outside the vehicle?" Black looked like she had been caught in the headlights of a semi and she was a deer. It was time for her to take up her side of the blame so she stepped in.

"She was on an order sir" the vein in the Capt.'s neck was throbbing making you wonder when it would burst.

"And who's order was that?"

"It was mine, I told her to stay in car, didn't need to endanger her unnecessarily" he was digesting the news, Black had stood her ground, still looking like a deer in the headlights, but lessen frightened now.

"You and her are both officer's, you do not out rank her or have you forgotten that?"

"No sir, I haven't and I don't know why she listened, but I'm glad she did, sir" the anger slowly fading from the Capt's face with her last words. If she was lucky she wouldn't have to explain where she was for the last several hours, and she didn't the Captain walked away shortly after telling them that they were both suspended, until further notice. With nothing left to do, Ashley walked off back to the bathroom, Black followed her in. Ashley started washing or at least attempting to wash the blood off her, it wasn't until she saw Black out of the corner of her eye did she notice she had been followed.

"Why did you cover for me when you didn't have to?"

"I'm sure you would have done the same thing"

"Look it wasn't your fault, I'll talk to the Captain see if I can get back on" she didn't want to talk anymore; she focused on the task in front her. The water slowly turning a dull pink as it went down the drain.

Black left but returned ten minutes later with a pair of hospital scrubs, the best she could scrounge up, she herself was wearing a pair, the blood on her uniform only darkened it, on Ashley who was wearing a rather bright white shirt, it looked like well what it was blood.

Black put the clothes on the sink beside Ashley and left not coming back. Ashley scrubbed as hard as she could but the blood wouldn't come off, the imaginary blood any way, her hands had already been clean for some time now, but every time she looked she saw, the crimson blood dripping off them, and she had to wash them off again.

If the Captain was here, he would kill two birds with one stone, he would go in search of Cruz to see why she had taken so many days off without notice, the accident had already riled the Capt.'s blood pressure sky high, and knowing Cruz she would spike it up to the point where he had a heart attack and she got fired on the spot before he collapsed. That would be a sight to see, but a deadly one.

It wasn't that late, and visiting hours were over for another hour, so she made her way up to Hayden's room, he was alone picking aimlessly at his food.

"Where's Cruz?" she asked, she had to warn her to lay low, meaning she couldn't be with Hayden right now.

"Getting her supper" her stomach growled, smelling his food made her mouth water, reminding her that she hadn't eaten all day. She sat in Cruz's chair waiting while he ate, which in this case was only the pudding. Chocolate at that, he ate half and put it down saying it tasted like chalk.

"Why are you wearing hospital scrubs, you become a doctor without telling me?" she wished that were the case

"There was an accident, Bosco got hurt pretty bad, my clothes are in the trash full of blood"

"Can I ask what Bosco was doing with you, I thought you worked in Anti-Crime with Cruz"

"I did, I mean I do, he got in the car and refused to leave saying something about we needed to talk, then I didn't so I motioned his partner in the car too and off we went" she kept eying his tray, her stomach growled again louder this time.

"To where?"

"Where the accident happened. I needed to look at something" he finally pushed the tray away giving up on eating hospital food.

Both remained silent for a while both lost deep in thought before Hayden finally spoke

"You care about him don't you?"

"Ya I do"

"I think you should know something" know what that Hayden loved her, she already knew that, he looked around before motioning her closer to the bed, she stood up and leaned in close.

"Faith isn't dead" her blood ran cold, yes Faith was dead, she saw it with her own two eyes the pole in her stomach, the blood, no the drugs were making him talk crazy.

"It was a cover-up, she needs to remain dead until people are caught" what people, this was more than the drugs talking, did he go out to the roof and smoke a little wacky tabacky?

"I can't tell you who needs to be caught, but they will be caught today" she was sure of it, wacky tabacky, if Faith wasn't dead how come all the other ones were, he must of read her mind

"The other's all were going into the witness protection program, the accident was staged" and she was George Bush. He didn't say anymore so she assumed he was done and sat back down, he motioned her forward so up she got again

"You started to uncover things, the car was meant for you"

"They wanted to kill me!" she said in a raised whisper

"Shh" he looked around again

"Not anymore, they discovered you knew nothing"

"Who's they?"

"I cant tell you that"

"Ok then, can I have your pudding?" he slid the container forward, she helped herself, devouring it within seconds.

"Hungry?" Hayden watched in amazement

"A little bit" the smell of the room suddenly making her nauseous, the smell was strong, she could smell the antiseptic they used to sanitize the room.

She sat the container of empty pudding and spoon back on his tray, still eying the brown glob that was in the center, the steamed vegetables. Stop it, it's hospital food, she told her self but another little voice came on But it's food and you are hungry she kept her eyes of the tray and focused on Hayden. Where the hell was Cruz? With any luck the Captain had cornered her, looked good on her, leaving everything for some one else to do.

She couldn't help herself, she looked at the food again, and then looked at Hayden to see if he had noticed, he had. Busted.

"Do you want my food too?"

"Only if you don't want it"

"It's all yours" that too was soon devoured

She had just shoved the last piece of broccoli in her mouth when Cruz walked in carrying a cop of coffee, she could smell it all the way over here.

Cruz hadn't seen her yet as she came in

"Sorry I took so long the Cap" she discovered Ashley scrubs and all "tain cornered me"

Ashley stood up, glancing at Hayden, who was silently asking her not to go, trouble in paradise? Could it be that Hayden was sick of Cruz or plain old just didn't like her? A part of her wanted to stay and find out, but a part of her didn't.

"I better go see if theirs an update"

"Keep me posted will ya?"

"Count on it" she left without a backwards glance.

Relatively good news was had, Bosco was in recovery heavily sedated, the bad news was he suffered from a cracked skull, internal bleeding which they were able to stop thank god and would be waking up momentarily. She recognized a most of the people there, but a few were new, she saw a woman with reddish hair and one glance told her that it was her mother, the one she refused to meet because she didn't want it to be a relationship. Then where the hell were they now? In a full pledged relationship, one that no one knew about and that's how it was going to stay.

A nurse came over to his mother and they talked before Rose shook her head no, then the nurse moved on to someone from days, they nodded and pointed at her, the nurse nodded and walked directly in front of her.

"Miss Ryans I presume?"

"Yes"

"Mr. Boscorelli is awake and asking for you, and we have your test results" the test results she had no idea why they were taken, all she felt was light headed when she was brought in nothing too serious, the nurse handed her an envelope with her name on it. She half expected for the nurse to tell her then and their, she certainly was having a hard time containing her joy as she lead Ashley to Bosco's room.

At least he didn't have a machine breathing for him, but he his head was heavily bandaged but that didn't stop him from arguing with the nurse about how capable he was of moving himself. Even when he's injured he refuses help.

"Hey gorgeous" he automatically stopped fighting with the nurse and looked at her, big grin on his face, the two nurses left quickly, and partly shut the door behind them.

"Hey yourself" she took a seat by him, he seemed giddy, once she had sat down he grabbed her hand, locking it with his.

"So what's the news?" about his injuries, wasn't the first thing they told you was how serious your injuries were?

"About your injuries?" she didn't have a clue what he was talking about

"No silly, did you get canned?" this wasn't the anything like the Bosco she knew.

"No only suspended"

"I think I'm going to too"

"What makes you say that?"

"I just have a feeling. Now shut up and kiss me" she didn't want to not when at any given moment anyone could walk in and see them, but she obliged and kissed him, the little devil had his tongue in her mouth exploring her mouth, while he was supposed to be resting. Men always to macho to listen.

"See wasn't that worth it?" he asked

considering that you got me all hot and bothered, I say it was well worth it she nodded not about to voice her thoughts.

"Why don't you get some rest?" she wanted to look at the test results but wasn't about to when she was in the presence of somebody. He was about to protest but yawned

"Only if you stay with me"

"I'm not going any where"

A/N: Did you catch my other hints, cant really say much more with out it coming out what it is. The build up of what show the cross over is, is in next chapter.
