Is Love Enough?

Chapter 12

Everybody got to the building where Fred said that Bosco and the rest of them were. Faith was so afraid. They have to be alright, Faith thought to herself, as she got out of the car. The ambulances were there, just in case they needed medical attention. Sasha, Ty, Sully and Swersky got out of the other car. Faith walked up to them.

"Thanks for all being here."

"Well we weren't going to let you do this by yourself; we're all here for you," Swersky said.

Detective Brown looked at them all. "I can't have you all come in the building."

"Sasha and I will stay out here," Sully said.

Sasha nodded.

"Be careful, Ty," she said as she kissed Ty.

"I will." Detective Brown hand them all a gun.

"Only use this if you are in danger."

Detective Brown looked at Faith. "Let's go."

As they were entering the building, all Faith could think about Bosco, Rose and her kids. She had been a cop for years, but this was the first time that she had a pit in her stomach, about what the outlook of the rescue could turn out.

"Try this door," one of the cop said, as he kicked down the door.

"Nobody's here."

"Are you sure Fred didn't lie to you?" Ty replied.

"He better not have!" she said, sadly.

They then came up to another room, a cop broke down the door. A second after he broke down the door, Faith heard her daughters' crying in the room. She ran into the room.

"Michelle.. Hannah!" she cried with a smile on her face.

"Mommy!" they yelled, as she hugged them. She looked at them, and saw that they looked okay, considering what they had been through.

"Daddy..." Michelle said.

Faith looked at her daughter. "Your daddy is not here, but I'm going to find him."

"Daddy! I want Daddy." Hannah screamed. Faith hugged her.

"I know you do and we'll find him. Are you hurt?"

Hannah showed Faith her knees.

"Owie." Faith couldn't believe that Fred would allow someone to hurt innocent little girls.

Michelle walked up to Faith.

"Owie too." Tears started to fall down Faith's cheek.

"Mommy, no cry."

"I'm not crying," Faith said, as she wiped away her tears, "I'm just so happy."

Faith turned to face Ty.

"Now Uncle Ty is going to take you outside. I'll be there soon, I promise."

"No leave!" Michelle said, as she held on Faith's arm. Faith looked at her daughter.

"I have to find daddy. Uncle Ty will take good care of you, won't you?" Ty nodded.

"Of course I will. Aunt Sasha is outside; she'll be so happy to see the both of you and that you are ok," he said, as he picked up Michelle and Hannah.

"Aunt Sasha," Michelle said with a smile. Ty smiled.

"Yes, she can't wait to see you. She wants to tell you about Kayla."

"Kayla here?" Hannah replied.

"No, but we can call if you want to talk to her." Faith looked at Ty and smiled, and mouthed the words thank you. Faith watched as Ty took her daughters away, at least she knew her daughters were safe now. She just had to find Rose and Bosco. She prayed that they get there in time.

"Please hold on, Bos," she cried. She walked down the dark hallway and heard them breaking down another door.

"We got someone here," she heard as she ran into the next room. She couldn't believe what she saw; Rose was tied up in a chair.

"Oh Rose."

Rose looked at Faith terrified. "Faith, have you found Maurice yet?"

Detective Brown unties Rose from the chair. Faith ran to her side and helped.

"Not yet, but we will find him."

Rose looked at her with a scared look on her face.

"I saw…" but she stopped for a moment.

"Rose don't stop! What did you see?" Faith asked.

"I'm not sure you want to hear this," Rose replied.

Faith looked at Rose. "I need to know."

"I saw them shoot my son." Faith sighed.

"How long ago was this?" she asked, scared.

"I don't remember... After it happened, the man beat me and hit me over the head. I'm sorry; I don't remember," Rose cried.

"You have nothing to be sorry about Rose; everything is going to be okay," Faith replied.

"Are Michelle and Hannah okay?" Rose asked, as she tried to stand up. She started to get dizzy and Faith grabbed her.

"Rose, you have been through a lot. Sit down. Hannah and Michelle are outside with Ty; they looked fine," Faith responded.

"We need to go now, Faith. We have to find your husband." Decettive Brown replied.

Faith turned to Rose. "Are you going to be okay?" she asked.

"I can call a paramedic to take you outside."

"Go save my son," Rose said. "That's all I care about; I'll be fine. I can walk outside by myself, it's Maurice you need to worry about."

"How about I take you outside?" Swersky suggested.

"It looks like you have enough people to help you. Just be careful, Faith."

Faith nodded. "I will." Swersky and Rose walked slowly out of the apartment building.

Rose, Hannah and Michelle were been checked over by the paramedics when Sully saw something suspicious.

"Ty, look!" he said, as he saw a figure running out of the building.

"You don't think that's Nardo, do you?" Ty asked.

"I don't know; let's go see," Sully said, as they started to run down the street. It was definitely Andrew Nardo.

Sully and Ty started to run after Andrew Nardo, hoping that they would catch
him.

Faith and the rest of the police officers went through every other room, but Bosco was nowhere. There was one last room that they hadn't checked. Faith took a deep breath; she didn't know what she was going to find. The police officer opened the door, and didn't say anything.

Faith moved past them and saw her husband's lifeless body on the bed. She hurried to his side.

"Faith..." Bosco said, quietly. Faith looked at Bosco, as tears were falling down her cheeks.

"Oh Bosco," she said, as she started untie him.

"I… love you, Faith, never forget that," Bosco replied

"You aren't going to leave me, Bosco."

"Tell the kids that I love them."

Faith hugged Bosco. "You aren't going anywhere."

"Get the paramedics now!" Faith yelled. The paramedics were just entering the room.

"What happened?" the parmedic asked.

"He was shot. He's lost a lot of blood; he is very weak," Faith told them.

Faith touched his face. "We're going to get you help now; you're going to be okay."

"F…aith, I'm sorry," he said.

"You have nothing to be sorry about; just don't leave me, Bosco," Faith said, as she saw that he was going into unconscious.

"We need to get him to the hospital now," the paramedic as they rushed out Bosco out of the room.

((

Rose, Sasha, Swersky and the girls were waiting outside for Bosco and Faith. Rose then saw the paramedics coming out the building with Bosco. Rose run to his side.

"Oh God! Maurice," she cried, "Is he going to be okay?"

"Daddy!" the girls shouted. Rose held them.

"You can see daddy soon, but not yet."

"We don't know, ma'am! We have to get him to the hospital now!" the paramedics yelled as they put Bosco in the ambulance. Detective Brown came out of the building with Faith. She ran to Bosco's side.

"I'm his wife; I need to be in there with him."

The paramedic nodded.

"Get in now!"

Detective Brown looked at Faith. "I'm sorry about your husband."

But Faith didn't hear anything he said, as all she think was Bosco. She held onto his hand as they drove away.

"You are going to be fine."

Rose watched as the abumblance left with Bosco.

"He has to be okay."

Sasha put her hand on Rose's shoulder.

"He will be; he's a fighter. Now you and your grandchildren should be check out," Sasha replied, as the other ambulance show up.

"I don't know need to be check out; I'm not the one who's hurt."

"You need to be check out. Bosco will have my head, if I don't get his mother to get check out," Sasha explained.

Rose smiled.

"Fine, but only if my grandchildren can come with me."

The paramedics looked at Rose. "I don't see why not, you all don't seem hurt that much."

Michelle and Hannah looked at Rose. "See Daddy."

"We'll see daddy soon," Rose replied, as she hugged Michelle and Hannah, as they climbed into the ambulance.

Ty and Sully were running after Andrew Nardo.

"It's time to stop all this!" Sully yelled to Andrew.

"I don't think so," Andrew said as he turned around and pointed a gun at the two of them. Sully was about to shoot Andrew, when one of Andrew's man came up to them.

"You shoot my boss; I'll have to shoot your friend." Sully turned around and saw Ty with a gun pointing at his head.
