Revelations

Chapter 2

Faith was watching Bosco through the window as the doctor was checking him out. She smiled for the first time in a long time because her partner was finally awake. She wanted to talk to him more when he first woke up, but she wanted the doctors to check him out first, and make sure that he was okay.

"Faith," the doctor said. "He wants you to see you."

Faith nodded and was about to open the door to his room when she turned around to face the doctor. "How's he really doing"

"He's doing pretty well for someone that just has woke up from being in a coma for four months. He still has a long road ahead of him. I'm going to be running some tests later to see exactly what the extents of all his injuries are."

Faith nodded and walked into Bosco's room. For the first time she didn't mind walking in because she knew everything was going to be okay.

"Hey Bos," she said as she walked up to him. She looked at him with a bandage on his cheek and he looked so pale, but it didn't matter, because he was awake and that is all that matters to her.

"Faith…." Bosco said, in a drowsy and quiet voice. "How is Ma? "

"She's fine," Faith replied. "She is on her way to see you; she'll be here very soon."

Faith grabbed his hand, and squeezed it tightly. "You scared me, Bos."

"How.. long have I?"

"You've been here for 4 months," Faith said. "They told me that you might not wake up," Faith said. Tears started to fall down her cheeks, but for the first time they were happy tears because he had showed everybody that they were wrong about him. "But you showed them," she said wiped away her tears.

"Of course I would."

"I'm so happy that you are alright,"she said as she hugged him. He put his hand on her back gently, and a tear fell down his cheek.

"Well I should be letting you get some rest. You just woke up from a coma," she said as she stood up.

"No, please stay." Bosco replied, with this look that she couldn't resist.

"Okay, I'll stay."

Rose walked into the room, and saw Faith and Bosco talking, like old times. "I see you finally decided to wake up, Maurice."

Bosco turned around. " Hey Ma," he said with this big smile on his face.

"Rose," Faith said as she stood up.

"How's my boy doing?" Rose asked.

Faith watched as Rose and Bosco talked to each other for the first time in four months. She decided to quietly leave the room and leave the two of them alone.

She walked outside and walked towards the nurse. "Can I use your phone?" she asked.

"Sure," the nurse said.

Faith dialed the number. "Hi, boss, it's me Faith. I won't be coming into work today."

"Is everything okay, Faith?"

"It's about Bosco," she said.

"Oh."

"No, it's good news. He is awake. He just woke up a while ago."

"That is great news, Yokas. Take as much time as you need."

"Thank you, boss," she said, as she hung up the phone.

A few hours later:

Faith was sitting with Bosco and she was doing more of the talking than Bosco, but it was okay. He did the first big step for his recovery by waking up, and now it could only get better.

She grabbed his hand. "Don't you ever do that me again. I don't want to ever worry that I am going to lose you again."

" You'll never lose me," he said, as he looked up at her. "You didn't get hurt did you?"" Bosco asked Faith.

"No, I'm fine," Faith replied. "But we don't need to talk about this right now. You just need to get better," Faith said, as she stood up.

She didn't want to think about that night again; not when she almost lost Bosco and not when the reason that he was hurt was because he saved her life.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Come in," Faith said. Sully, Ty, Swersky and Monroe walked into the room.

Ty walked up to Bosco's bedside first. "I'm glad that you finally decided to wake up. Everybody has been worried about you." Bosco looked at Faith. He know how much he had worried about her when she was shot, so he understood what she was going through with him.

"Do you need anything, Bos? she asked. "I can get you something to drink or something to eat."

"I would like something to drink," he said, as he started to cough. Faith ran up to Bosco. "Are you okay?" she asked concerned.

"I just coughed, Faith," he said, laughing. Faith smiled at herself. She was still worried that she was going to lose Bosco, and then she would finally be on her own with nothing left in her life.

"You were shot. I just don't want anything to happen to you, Bos," Faith said. "I think I'll go and get your drink," she said as she walked out of the room.

(((

Faith opened the door, and she glanced over at Bosco, and could see that he was getting tired of everybody being here.

"I think Bosco needs his rest," Faith replied. He looked at her and mouthed the words. "Thank you."

After everybody left, Faith looked at Bosco. "I guess I should be going as well."

"You don't have to."

"Yes I do, Bos, you need you rest. You have been through a lot."

He touched her hand. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow, then?"

"Oh course, you will," she said. " There is no where I rather be," she said as she hugged him.

Later that night:

" I found someone," Fred replied.

"Guys," she said… as she saw the gunmen coming towards them, and before she could say anything else, Bosco grabbed her and pulled her to the ground.

She pulled out the gun and shot Mann.

Faith woke up in a sweat. It was the same dream that she has been having for months now. Remembering the day that changed her life forever. Not only did Fred leave her, but it was the day that she almost lost her partner and best friend and the night that she did something that she thought she would never do…. taking justice the wrong way. She knew that Mann would get out in a few days and she wasn't going to let that happen. She had to stop him.

But then why couldn't she stop thinking about that night.

She climbed out of bed and walked out of the bedroom. She knew that she wasn't going to get any sleep tonight. As she was walking towards the kitchen, she realized that there was something different about the apartment and she knew was it was… there was no noise, there was no Emily talking on the phone, no Charlie playing his videos games, and there was no Fred.

For the first time in her life, she was truly alone.
