Author's Note: This is it! This is the end of the story! I can't believe I finally got there. Thanks to everyone who's reviewed my story cause it kept me going. Oh yeah, I'm not sure that what happens in this chapter can really physcially happen, but for the sake of the story, the law of physics does not apply. Here goes the last chapter!
On the ground, Ty, Sully, Faith, Swersky, and half of the 55th precinct were watching the events unfold. Along with them were Kim, Bobby, Jimmy, Doc, and Carlos, ready to help in any way possible. They saw Sharp looking out the window, and then assumed Bosco had reached him when he turned to look back into the room. Sam started to slip and Faith nearly screamed. Then it happened. Sharp let go, and Sam fell.
Faith saw Sam tumbling down. All the air left her body and she swore that her heart stopped beating. She covered her eyes so she wouldn't have to see. She began to sob into her hands.
Ty didn't know what he was doing until he did it. His instincts told him to catch her. It seemed like he ran so slowly, but he was the closest person to the building, and therefore he was the only one who could do it. If he didn't make it on time, he would be the guiltiest person on the face of the earth for the rest of his life. For a second, he thought he wasn't going to make it. He threw himself forward.
Ty felt himself crash to the ground as the weight of Sam fell into his arms. He could feel the strain on his arms and shoulders when she landed, but that was the farthest thing from his mind. He picked her up and looked her over.
"Are you okay Sam?" he asked her urgently. She choked and sputtered as she sobbed. He couldn't see any major injuries on her. Bobby came over and kneeled beside him. Bobby took Sam's face in his hands and looked over her head to check her out.
"Sammi?" asked Bobby. "I need you to look at me and tell me if you're hurt anywhere. Does anything hurt?" She shook her head and choked on her sobs once again. "Alright, I'm just gonna check your arms and legs justto make sure nothing's hurt, alright?" She nodded. Sam looked around and saw Faith standing in the street with her face in her hands.
"Faith!" Faith heard Kim say in her ear. Why was her voice so happy? How could she be happy at a time like this? She pulled her face out of her hands and looked at Kim. "Faith, look!" She pointed at the spot where Faith assumed Sam had landed, and she saw Ty on the ground holding a very much alive Sam in his arms.
"Ty was the closest person to the building and he ran forward and caught her!" explained Kim. Faith was by Sam's side in an instant.
"Sam, are you alright sweetheart?" As soon as she had the question out of her mouth, Sam leapt forward and threw her arms around Faith. Physically, she was alright. Mentally, it would take awhile before she was back to herself. Then she remembered Bosco. "Bosco!" she shouted up him. "She's alright!" She wasn't sure he had heard her until she heard pounding footsteps on the stairs and the door to the building flew open. Sam heard this too and released Faith just long enough to attach herself to Bosco, who fell to his knees.
"Dad," was all she could say through her tears.
"Sam," he said, for that's all he could say as well. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and rocked her back and forth. He sat there for a minute, reassuring himself that she was, in fact, alive.
"Boscorelli," Swersky called to him. "I need you over here." Bosco tried to get Sam to let go of his neck, but it was no use. So he picked her up and held her like he hadn't done since she was six years old. He walked over to where Swersky was standing with Sully. "We heard a shot right before…well…" he nodded his head, indicating Sam. "Is Sharp…?"
"Yes sir," Bosco replied. "There'll be no more problems with him." Swersky nodded in understanding. "Why don't you go home, Bosco," he suggested.
"We'll do that sir. Thank you." Before he went to his car, he walked over to Ty. "Thanks man. If you hadn't been there…" He didn't complete his thought because Ty knew what he meant.
"I'm glad I could be there man. I'm just happy she's alright." Bosco turned away and went to his car. The last thing he saw before he pulled the Mustang away from the curb was a black body bag being carried out of the building on a stretcher. He tore his gaze away from the body and to his rearview mirror, where he could see Sam sitting in the backseat, staring out the window. He couldn't believe that this was all finally over. But it was, and now the two of them had to get back to normal, together. They could do it. They were Boscorellies, after all.
