Is Love Enough?

Chapter 8

A few hours later, Faith was lying in her hospital bed when there was a knock on her door.

"Bosco?" she asked.

"No, it's just us," Emily replied, as she and Charlie walked up to Faith.

"Have you seen Bosco? He was supposed to bring the kids by to see me like 2 hours ago. I am worried about him," Faith replied worried. Emily looked at her mother.

"I'm sure Bosco and the kids are fine; he is probably just running late. But I'll call Rose and see if he went the hotel," Emily responded.

"Thanks honey." Emily smiled.

"Don't worry; it is probably nothing."

"Emily's right, Mom. He probably just took Michelle and Hannah out to get something to eat," Charlie replied. Faith nodded. She looked over at Emily as she was talking to Rose on the phone. She could tell that it wasn't good news. Emily turned around.

"Bosco hasn't been back to the hotel, mom, but that doesn't mean that something is wrong."

"Maybe he took the kids and left you," said a voice. Emily, Charlie and Faith turned around to see Fred standing in by the door.

Bosco woke up and he touched his head. It hurt really bad. The last thing he was remembered was walking down the path with his daughters and theneverything went black.

"Michelle, Hannah, where are you?" he asked, terrified. He looked around the room and didn't know where he was. What happened to him? He then saw that he was tied to a chair. He knew exactly who was doing this and he had to get
free, so he could save his daughters.

"Well it looks like Officer Boscorelli decided to wake up," a voice said as the person walked into the room.

"Where's my kids? Don't hurt them! Do whatever you want with me, but not my kids!" Bosco shouted as he looked at Andrew Nardo standing in front of him. He looked so much liked his brother.

"I wouldn't hurt your kids ;I have kids of my own. I wouldn't hurt little kids, well not right now," Andrew replied.

"What do you want with me? I know you have been following my wife and I around . Is this about your brother?"

"Don't you talk about my brother! You are the reason he's dead and I'm going to make you pay." Bosco looked at Andrew.

"I didn't do anything to your brother, I'm sorry that your brother is dead, but I didn't kill him," he said, as he struggled to untie the knots. Andrew laughed.

"You are sorry; did you try to stop him from killing himself? You made everybody think he was a rat and that is why he killed himself. Now I'm going to kill you, but I'm going to make you suffer first." Bosco then jumped out of the chair.

"I don't think so," he said as he punched Andrew in the face. Andrew then punched him back. Andrew pushed him against the wall.

"You are going to pay." Suddenly Bosco started to get dizzy.

"I'm going to make your whole family pay, trust me."

Bosco punched him."You leave my family alone; don't even think about hurting them!"

Andrew pulled out his knife. "You are going to die first." he said. Bosco grabbed the knife out of his hand.

"I don't think so." Suddenly they both jumped each other and then they were both on the floor
unconscious.

"Get out of my room! Don't you talk about my husband like that?" Faith yelled.

"Well, it's true. Maybe he didn't want to commit to you anymore. He decided he wanted his children and took off with them."

"You don't know, Bos, so don't you tell me what he would do. Just leave Fred!" Faith shouted.

Emily looked at Fred. "Just go, dad. You don't know what you are talking about. Bosco is a way better man than you will ever be. He would never leave his family or hurt mom, like you did."

"Always sticking up for that jerk, aren't you, Em?" Fred replied as he walked up to her.

"He's not your father, but you act like he is. Well I hope you are happy when you find out that he has left your mother." Emily walked up to Faith.

"Don't listen to him. You know as well as I do, how much Bosco loves you mom. There is more to this."

"I know, Em. Don't worry I believe in Bosco. I know that he loves me. I'm just scared that something has happened to him," Faith replied, terrified. Emily hugged Faith.

"I know, mom. I'll go and see Rose and see if she knows where he could be. Just try and not worry. Everything will be okay, I promise." Faith smiled.

"Thanks, honey." Charlie looked at his mom.

"I know that Bosco is fine, and so are the twins. You are worrying about nothing." Faith smiled.

"I hope both of you are right." The kids waved goodbye to Faith as they left the room.

"Can you leave now?" Faith asked, annoyed. Fred sat down next to her.

"Faith, we can start over again. Let's just forgot about everything that happened and start fresh."

"Fred, I don't love you anymore; I love Bosco, and only him."

"What about your girlfriend? Why are you even here? Do you not care about her now that she is in jail for hitting me with her car?" Faith questioned
Fred.
He looked at Faith. "I followed you and Bosco here and she followed me. I told her that I didn't love her anymore, that I could never forget about you, Faith. You are the only one that I love." Faith looked at Fred.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to hurt you, but I love Bosco and only him. Please just go back to New York!" she yelled.

He looked at her. "You are going to regret this." he mumbled to himself as he left the room.

A couple hours later, Bosco tried to get up and he remembered that he was chained to the chair. He sighed. He had to get of here. He began remembering what happened an hour ago.

Bosco looked at Andrew's body lying on the floor. He knew that this was his only chance to get out of here and find his girls. Bosco touched his shoulder and saw that he was bleeding, but it didn't matter to him. He was about to open the door, when Andrew hit him in the side where he was just stabbed a few minutes ago.

"Not so fast."

Bosco yelled in pain. "You stabbed me!"

"That is just the beginning. I have to make you pay and that means I have to make your whole family pay."

"Don't you do that! They didn't do anything to you!" Bosco shouted, "Do whatever you want with me, but not my kids. Let them go." Bosco punched Andrew.

"Kill me right now, then it will be over."

"No, that would be too easy, not yet. I'll do when you least expect it."

"What are you going to do my kids?" Bosco asked, scared.

Andrew looked at Bosco.

"Your kids are safe for now. But if you punch me one more time, that can change very quickly." Bosco wanted to get out of here, but he knew by the look on Andrew's face, he would kill Hannah and Michelle, just to make him pay.

"Fine, I promise I won't hit you, but you have to promise me that you won't hurt my kids, because if you do, I will have to break my promise."

Andrew nodded. He then walked up to Bosco and put handcuffs on him.

"What are you doing?" Bosco yelled.

"Just in case you decide you want to break your promise," Andrew said as he handcuffed Bosco to the chair and then he hit him in the face and
chest.

"You are going to die… I just don't know when."

"Goodnight," he laughed, as he left the room.

Bosco looked at himself, chained to a chair. Being handcuff like a criminal. Pretty ironic.

End of flashback

Bosco tried to move, but every time he moved, his side hurt where Andrew stabbed him. He knew that it wasn't very serious, because he was still
conscious... Well for the time being he was. There has to be a way that I can get out of these, Bosco thought to himself. He tried, but there was nothing he could do. He wasn't going to give up because he had to save his children. He didn't know what he would do if anything happened to them because of him.

Susan was walking towards Faith's room when she heard Faith shouting. She walked into the room and saw Detective Brown standing in front of her.
"Faith, what's wrong?"

"Bosco and the kids are missing and he doesn't believe me."

"Are you sure they are missing?" Susan asked, as she sat down next to Faith.

"What if he is with his mom?"

"I called there already."

"Bosco was suppose to bring the kids by to see me 4 hours ago; he wouldn't be late," Faith responded. She then looked at Detective Brown.

"What if Andrew Nardo didn't go back to New York and he hurt my husband and my kids?"

"He is back in New York," Decetive Brown replied.

"But you don't know that for sure, do you? I want people looking for my family right now."

"We can't, not until it has been 24 hours."

"Hell with it! I'll go and find my kids and husband myself then," Faith replied as she got of the bed.

"Stop it. Faith, you can't leave the hospital," Susan responded.

"Well then do something about this! Tell this detective here that they have to go and find my family now before it is too late."

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Boscorelli, but this is my policy. You should know that, being a detective yourself."

"No, you are wrong, if I knew that someone was following a family and then the husband and the kids went missing... I'd do anything in my power to find them."

"Well at least get a police officer to go to Bosco's mother's hotel room, so she is safe."

"We have to wait 24 hours."

"You don't have to go by the rules all the time.. you know my family is in danger and you aren't doing anything." Decetive Brown looked at Faith.

"We don't even know if he is in danger. But I will get a police officer to go to her hotel room first thing in the morning."

"But it might be too late." Faith yelled.

"There is nothing more I can. I will call some people and see if they know where Andrew Nardo is and tomorrow morning, I will go and look at the park. That is the last place they were right?" Faith nodded.

"Thank you, Detective." As soon as the detective left, Faith picked up the phone.

A few minutes later,

"You don't have to come; everything will be okay. I just thought that you needed to know," she said as she started to cry.

"I'm sorry. I'm just scared." she said.

"Okay. I'll see you later. Goodbye," she said as she hung up the phone. Susan looked at Faith.

"Who were you talking to?"

"A friend from New York. John Sullivan... He is the lieutenant. He wants to come here and help
with the search for Bosco and the kids. I told him not to, but he says that he wants to."

"He likes to think that he doesn't like Bosco, but I know he does. We are all are like a family. My kids called him Uncle Sully." Faith replied with a smile. Tears started to fall down her cheeks.

"What if I never see my husband and my kids again?" she replied, shaking. Susan hugged Faith.

"It's going to be okay. They will find Bosco and your kids," Susan said, trying to reassure her.

Faith looked at Susan. "How much of this can we take? I don't want to be without him in my life." Susan nodded.

"I wish there was more I could say."

"He was worried that something was going to happen to me or the kids because of this Nardo guy, but I told him that everything will be okay. Now look what happened." Faith replied.

"Bosco wouldn't want you to blame yourself." Faith smiled.

"You got to know Bosco over the past week, haven't you?" Susan smiled.

"Yes I have and I saw how much he loves you." Suddenly a nurse came in the room.

"Dr. Lewis, your husband is down in the ER with Cosmo."

"What happened? Is Cosmo hurt?" Susan asked afraid.

"No, Cosmo is fine. He is just upset about something." the nurse replied. Susan nodded. She turned to Faith.

"Go be with your son; he needs you," Faith responded, "I'll be fine." Susan nodded.

"I'll come by and see how you are doing later." she replied as she walked out of the room.

((

Susan walked down to the ER.

"Where's Cosmo?" she asked Carter who was at the admitting desk. Carter looked at her.

"He's in the doctor's lounge, he seems pretty upset."

"Thanks, Carter." Susan said, as she walked away and into the lounge.

"Mommy!" Cosmo yelled as he run to Susan. Susan looked at her son.

"What's wrong?" She led him to the couch.

"I saw… a bad man."

"Did you watch a scary movie again?"

"No, mommy.. I saw a bad man… taking Bos.." he said, as he started to cry. Susan looked at Cosmo.

"Shh, it's okay," she said, as she hugged Cosmo. Susan looked at Chuck.

"Do you know what is wrong?" she asked. He looked at her.

"I had got the kids asleep, when I heard him screaming. I ask him if he had a nightmare, he told me it wasn't a nightmare; it was real. He started to tell me what happened, but then he went quiet. So I sat with him and he told me that he wanted to come here and tell you because he
knew that you could help. Because you help people all the time for your job." She picked up Cosmo and put him on her lap.

"Can you tell me anything about your dream?"

"It wasn't a dream; it was real.. I saw a bad man take Bosco away."

((

Rose, Emily and Charlie were watching a movie when the phone rang.

"Hello?" Rose answered.

"Are you okay?" Faith asked.

"Faith, we are fine. Nothing is going to happen to us.. Any news on Bosco or the kids?" she asked. Rose was afraid for her son and her grandkids but she knew that he was going to be okay, just like he always was.

"A police officer is going to be coming by tomorrow morning, so make sure that you don't open the door." Faith replied.

"Okay."

"I tried to get a police officer to come tonight, but they don't think it will be worth it because Bosco hasn't been missing for 24 hours," Faith explained.

"Faith, we'll be fine…" she said, when suddenly someone grabbed the phone and threw it across the room.

" Rose… Rose, are you still there?" Faith yelled into the phone.
