Sully looked at Andrew Nardo.

"You don't want to do this."

"Put your gun down and I won't shoot your partner!" Andrew Nardo replied. Sully was just about to put his gun down when he heard someone yelled.

"Stop!" Andrew turned around, and just when he turned around Sully jumped him and grabbed the gun away from Andrew. But before Sully could say anything, Andrew ran off.

"Where did he go?" Detective Brown asked. Sully pointed to the direction he went and Detective Brown started to run away. Sully walked over to Ty, and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Ty replied.

"Are you sure?"

"What do you want me to say that I was scared that I would never see Kayla and Sasha again?" Ty said as he walked away from Sully. Sully followed him.

"Ty, wait up."

"Sul, just leave me alone right now; I need to find Sasha."

"Why do you need to find me?" said a voice. Ty turned around and hugged Sasha.

"I just need to be with you right now." Sasha looked at Ty.

"What happened?"

"It was nothing." Ty replied.

"Yes it was, you had a gun to your head." Sully responded. Sasha looked at Ty.

"Oh my god, Ty! Honey, are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine," he said, as he leaned over and kissed Sasha. Detective Brown came back to them.

"We lost him, but I promise you I will find him."

"You better find him; don't let him get away with this. He hurt my friends; he can't get away with this!" Sully yelled, as he started to get angry.

"He won't." Sasha looked at Sully.

"Let's go to the hospital and be there for Faith and Bosco. Swersky went with Rose and the kids to the hospital."

"What are you doing standing here? Find Andrew and his people?" Sully yelled to the detective. He then looked at Ty and Sasha.

"Let's go to the hospital and see how Bosco is doing."

Ty touched Sasha's back. "Thank you."

Detective Brown looked at them all.

"I'll get in touch with you as soon as I've got news." They all nodded, and walked away.

Luka and Susan were waiting outside for the arrival of Maurice Boscorelli.

"Are you sure you can do this, Susan? This is kind of personal for you."

"I can do it, Luka. I have to." Susan replied, as the ambulance showed up. The back doors opened to the ambulance and a paramedic came out.

"We have an approximately 34 year old man with a gunshot wound to his chest, he is unconcious and has a faint pulse." The paramedic climbed out of the ambulance with Bosco and Faith climbed out as well. Faith looked at Susan and Luka.

"You have to save him! I can't lose him. You hear me. I can't lose him." She placed her hand on his face.

"I love you, Bosco; you have to survive for me, and our little girls, and for Emily and Charlie. Please don't leave us." Susan looked at Bosco. She wasn't prepared for this. She couldn't believe how bad he looked. He didn't deserve any of this. He couldn't die, he just couldn't, it wouldn't be fair.

"Susan… Susan." Luka said.

"What, Luka?"

"I asked you to help me wheel him inside," Luka then saw Abby coming out of the ER.

"Abby, there is a change in plans, you are helping me with the husband and Susan is going to help with the kids and the grandma."

"But Luka, I'm fine," Susan responded.

"No, you're not," Luka replied, as he and Abby wheeled Bosco into the ER.

Ten minutes later, Susan had just finished checking Rose, Hannah and Michelle over.

"You all seem to be pretty good. You all just have a few cuts and bruises. How's your head feeling Rose?"

"My head's fine. I'm not the one that you need to worry about, it's my son that you need to think about."

"I know that Mrs. Boscorelli, but you suffered a hard hit to the head. You should really get it check out."

"I don't need it check out; I'm fine."

"I understand that you are worried about Maurice, but he wouldn't want you to not get check out," Susan answered.

"Not until I know how my son is."

Susan nodded. "I understand. How about we monitor it, and if you start to feel dizzy, I'm taking you up to get an MRI."

"Deal." Rose said, "Can I go and see my son now?" Susan looked in the other room, and saw them seeing working on Bosco.

"How about we go and see your other grandchildren?"

"Em.. Charwie!" Hannah replied. Susan turned around.

"Yes we are going to go and see your sister and brother." Susan looked at Rose.

"Now Charlie is still a little weak, but I know he will be happy to see you."

"What are you talking about?" Rose asked.

"Charlie and Emily got pretty roughed up when they were trying to help you," Susan explained. Rose sighed.

"Oh my god.It's my fault!"

"Emily is doing pretty well, and Charlie is doing better now," Susan replied. Rose stood up and grabbed a hold of each of her grandchildren.

"Let's go and see them."

They showed up at Charlie's room where Emily was as well. Susan looked at Rose.

"I think I'll leave you alone with your family."

"Thank you for everything," Rose replied, as she hugged Susan.

"Sus," Hannah replied. Susan kneeled down to Hannah.

"You be good for your grandma."

"You too Michelle." she replied, as she turned to Michelle.

"I'll come by and see you all later." Susan said, as she walked away from them. Rose walked into Charlie's room. First of all, Charlie and Emily didn't say anything, and then Emily cried.

"Rose….. Michelle.. Hannah. Rose walked up to them, putting Michelle and Hannah on the bed. She hugged both Emily and Charlie.

"I'm so happy to see the both of you."

"We're happy to see you all too. Are you okay?" Emily asked. Rose smiled.

"I'm fine now that I'm with my family. I heard that you tried to save my life; I don't remember much about that. You know you two were pretty brave."

"We did it because we didn't want anything to happen to you," Charlie said.

"You are a grandma; we love you." Emily responded, with a smile. Rose hugged both of them.

"I know you love me. I love you too, but don't you ever do that again. I couldn't bear the thought of losing the both of you."

"Where are Mom and Bosco? Are they coming by to see us soon?" Charlie asked, smiling. Rose went silent for a moment.

"Grandma, what's wrong? Is mom and Bosco hurt?" Emily cried.

"Please don't tell me that they are hurt because of my dad." Rose looked at Emily.

"Your mom is fine, but I can't say the same about Maurice. He's in critical condition; I don't know how bad he is right now." Both Charlie and Emily had tears streaming down their cheeks.

"Not Bosco," Emily screamed, "I'm going to kill my dad for doing this. I'm so sorry!"

"Don't blame yourself, Emily. It's our father's fault. Bosco's going to be okay right?"

"I don't know, Charlie.. I really don't know," Rose said, as tears started to fall down her cheeks.

"No cry." Hannah said, as she climbed up on top of Rose's legs. Michelle climbed on Rose's lap, and wiped away the tears.

"No tears." Rose smiled at her grandchildren.

"Tears all-gone." Rose then looked at Emily.

"What did you mean about your father?" she asked. Charlie hit Emily's arm.

"You shouldn't have told her! Don't you think she has been through enough already."

"Em, tell me what you meant." Emily sighed.

"My father was working with that Nardo guy to kidnapped Bosco... That's all I know. He is in jail right now, exactly where he belongs." Rose put her arms around both Charlie and Emily.

"I'm so sorry for the both of you."

"You don't hate us and want us to leave your family alone?" Emily responded.

"You aren't your father, Em. You are the nicest, smartest woman I know! You are going to be a great cop just like your mother. And you Charlie, you are a great young man. You are nothing like your father either. I would never be mad at the both of you; you are my grandchildren after all, not biology, but you are still part of this family, and you always will be."

Faith was waiting outside of the trauma room, as they were working on Bosco; it was just like the time when he got shot saving her life. She just hoped that they can save his life once again. Luka came out of the room.

"Your husband is going to need surgery. The bullet is near his heart and we are going to try to remove it, but I'm more concerned about the loss of blood."

"But he is going to be okay right?" Faith asked, anxiously.

"I can't say right now." Luka responded.

"Can I see him?" she asked. Luka nodded, and walked away from Faith. Faith took a deep breath as she walked into the room. She looked at Bosco who was looking pale.

"Hey Bos, I know you like all the attention, but this is a little too much. I can't lose you," she said, as she grabbed his hand.

"I love you. I can't think of my life without you. I need you, our kids need you. Please don't leave us." She put her head on his chest, and the tears just started to fall down her cheeks. A few minutes later, Faith stood up.

"I need to go and see our kids, but I'll be here when you get back from surgery, I promise you," she said, as she kissed his forehead. Faith was walking towards Charlie's room when she saw Susan coming towards her.

"How is he doing?" Susan asked.

"Not good. They say that he is going to have surgery soon." Faith replied with tears.

"I can't lose him, I just can't." she said.

"You won't. We have the best surgerons here; I told Bosco the same thing when you got hurt and look at you now."

"I hope you are right." Faith responded.

"How's Rose and my kids doing?"

"As good as can we expected, I tried to get Rose to have a MRI, but she wouldn't do anything until she know about her son." Susan explained.

"That sounds like Rose," Faith said.

"I guess I should go and tell them how Bosco is doing. Why is this happening?"

"I wish I could tell you, Faith. I really do." she said, as she hugged Faith.

"Do you want me to come and tell Rose with you?"

"No I can do it, I did before, I can do it again." Faith replied, as tears fell down her cheeks. Susan glanced at Faith.

"Are you remembering when he got hurt?"

"He told you about that."

"He was telling me all about you and how you got together." Faith smiled for the first time since she got here.

"That must have taken a while to explain."

"Not that long, but I think it was the short version." Susan laughed.

"Well, I'm going to go and check up on my kids, before Bosco goes to surgery." Susan nodded.

"See you later." Susan walked into Bosco's room, she saw someone beside his bed. She walked up to the person.

"Excuse me. Who are you and what are you doing?" she asked. The person turned and pushed her to the ground. Before she could do anything, she felt a pain in her shoulder. The person ran out of the room without a thought about Susan. Susan touched her shoulder and saw that there was blood. She stood up for a moment to try to get help, but she then started to get dizzy and fell on the ground.

"Help!" she yelled.

Faith was walking back to Bosco's room when she saw Dr. Carter.

"Nice to see that you are okay. Have you found your husband yet?" Faith nodded.

"Yes we have, but he needs to have surgery." Carter nodded.

"The surgeons here are great. I'm sure he'll be just fine."

"So I've heard."

"Have you seen Susan?"

"I think she was going to my husband's room." Faith replied.

"I'm going there now. Do you want me to get her for you?"

"I can come with you," Carter responded. "So how are your daughters doing?" Faith smiled slightly.

"They're doing pretty well. They want to see their father, but I'm going to wait until he gets out of surgery." Faith and Carter show up at Bosco's room. Carter opened the door and he
was shocked to see Susan lying on the floor. He ran to her side.

"Susan! Oh God!" he cried. Faith ran to Susan.

"What happened to her?" she asked.

"Someone... I ... was stabbed," Susan said, weakly. Faith ran to Bosco's side to make
sure that he was okay.

"Someone was here," Susan replied. Faith knew exactly who it was. It was Andrew Nardo, coming here to finish the job that he started. She looked at Susan.

"Do you remember anything?" Carter yelled to Chuny to come in the room. Chuny run into the room.

"Susan..." she screamed.

"I need you to help me get Susan onto the bed," Carter replied. Chuny looked at Carter.

"Do you really think you should be doing this? I can get Luka." Carter knew why she was saying this, but this wasn't like what happened to him and Lucy. Everybody stills think he is going to lose it when it is a stabbing victim because of what happened to many years ago, but he could do it.

"I can do this! This isn't Lucy." Susan looked at Carter.

"You don't have to." Faith walked up to them.

"Do you want me to call another doctor in here?"

"Yes," Susan replied.

"No!" Carter replied, as he opened up Susan's shirt to check the wound.

"Does this hurt?" he asked her.

"I'm fine," she replied as she fainted.

"Susan.. Susan, wake up." he yelled. He couldn't lose Susan, like he lost Lucy. He lost one co-worker to a stab wound; he wasn't going to let it happen again.

To be continued!
