Chapter 7 Nobody's Listening
"Light lit the sky, and for just one moment you might believe that its daytime, instead of being the night hours. Then as fast as that radiance blinds you its gone and for a split second; time stands still. The awesome of the dark side of nature proves who is truly in control. Who's head of the game by turning up its AMP's, screeching a cord even a guitarist would be envious of. Making you jump in your own skin. Leaving you too but wonder if God himself is knocking on your door.
Severe storms never really halter the city of New York, that's just not the City's nature. But even like a night like this, when mother nature is showing off, singing, with a live orchestra to back her up and New York the silent audience, you can't help but sit back. Allow her do her thing and wait till its over.
But when you're a medic, you always have to be ready, ready to give your life. I'm Carlos Nieto, giving my life for the city and its people.'
"CARLOS, hellooo Earth to Carlos."
'They just don't understand', Carlos thought, they never could because they just didn't see it his way.
"Guys, look Carlos brooding, he's trying to do actual deep thinking!"
"How can he? That actually requires brains."
Carlos flicked them off. He was so bored, bored as it comes. Nobody needed rescuing, nobody was dying in the city therefore putting the firefighters and EMS to extreme boredom. Becoming quickly fed up with each other.
"I'm soooo bored!" Carlos finally stated not being able to keep it locked inside of him anymore, some of his coworkers just rolled their eyes.
Bobby looked up from his paper, then glanced back at it while speaking to him. "Why don't you go run somebody down Carlos, your're pretty good at that."
Trying to come up with a good enough response to the insult the paramedic threw at him he was distracted by the stomping and the heavy breathing as Davis ran up the stairs.
"We need you guys."
Carlos jumped from his seat.
"About time."
Bobby and Kim where all ready up, Carlos determined to follow them; till Doc grabbed his arm.
"Do you guys need help?" Calling to the other two medics.
"No, I think we got it Doc, but thanks."
Davis, and the two medics disappeared and Carlos looked like he was about to throw himself on the ground and throw a tantrum for being left behind.
Doc noticed this, looked up to the ceiling and shook his head.
"Just go."
Carlos not needing a second to decide was gone after the others. Doc looked over at Walsh who was sitting on the recliner watching the whole thing.
"I didn't want to hear him bellyache." Walsh just nodded his head in agreement.
(55th Precinct)
When Bobby and Kim raced into the Precinct behind Davis the Officers were crowded around, circling whoever was down. They half expected it to be an officer, one of their own, how wrong they were.
Bobby dropped to his knees and turned the man over, immediately recognized the face.
"You know," looking up at Kim as she knelt beside him, "how many times do we have to patch up this guy?"
Kim looked to see and she too knew him, from when Faith came running into their station, not to long ago saying somebody gotten beaten up. He looked even worse then he had the last time they saw him. When they'd last seen him he was already looking like he'd been run over one to many times.
Bosco fluttered his eyelids then opened them, confused at the many different faces floating above him, then his eyes fixed on the uniforms of the EMS. He let his head fall back gently to the floor under him.
"Is Faith here yet?" Bosco spoke, his voice coming out like a squeaky toy which didn't really do him any justice as he was trying to sound intimidating.
Nobody answered Bosco when he asked the question. He asked a second time trying to sound louder. All he got was Bobby and Kim asking him stupid medical questions along with poking and prodding.
Grabbing Bobby's shirt he pulled him closer. "I want to speak to Faith and I want to RIGHT NOW!" Bobby was trying to get Bosco's hand off of his shirt when Bosco pushed him away, almost causing Bobby to fall over in the process.
Davis who was now listening to Bosco curse and ask for Faith pulled out his cell phone and began dialing her number. Sully who was standing next to him looked over and recognized the number he was punching in. Sully asked "What do you think you are doing. Why are you calling her?"
He shrugged as he put the phone to his ear. "Maybe it'll make him calm down a little and easier to work with."
Faith put down her drink and hazily looked at her purse and wondered who the hell could be calling her. She reached and pressed the button to receive the call.
"Hello….oh hey Davis….," she began to register what he was saying to her, about spit out her drink in the process, "what do you mean….no I'll be in, I'm coming." She put the phone back into her purse, put a tab on the table and was out the door.
Back at the 55th Precinct Bosco was trying to deny the medical treatment as Davis put his phone away.
He pushed his way through the small crowd and got close to Bosco but just out of reach of his arms or legs.
"Bosco….Bosco listen to me," Bosco stopped cursing for a moment and looked at Davis, "she's on her way, she's going to meet you at the hospital but you have to calm down and let them help you….okay?"
Davis had been right after all, when Bosco found out Faith was indeed on her way, he let the medics do their job, answering questions, well questions he wanted to answer, being a much better patient to handle. As they loaded him up on the gurney, which he had protested at first, claiming how he could walk, that was, until he almost collapsed again. Carlos was walking over to the driver's side as this was going on.
"Hey guys, I'll drive."
Everybody stopped what they were doing even the cops who where still watching the scene unfold. They all looked at Carlos and in union screamed,
"NOOOO!"
(Angel Mercy Hospital)
Faith walked into the hospital hurriedly, trying to avoid colliding into anyone as she looked around. Finally she saw the one person she needed to see who could give her a straight answer without confusing her in the process. Mary Procter.
"Mary I was…"
She put her hand up to stop Faith in mid- sentence with a small smile on her face.
"Sully said you be coming in. He's in the examination room on the left. With the patient."
"Thanks, you're the best."
Procter continued her paperwork.
Breathing in deeply and slowing down her pace, she looked up praying to God that Boscorelli would tell her why he wanted to talk to her, and not just close up. Because with a guy like Boscorelli, everyday was something different with him. He was like the ocean, unpredictable but powerful when he needed to be, calm at times, but also at times a little to calm. Right now she was scared it was the calm before the storm.
Taking one more breath she walked in and quickly her oxygen was gone. Sully and Davis stood a little ways off to the side making sure Bosco stayed put as he sat and listened to the Doctor talk about how to take care of himself. He immediately stopped giving the Doctor his full attention as he saw Sully look her way. Bosco looked over at Faith, then as though she hadn't even come he turned back to the Doctor.
She could see the various bruises over his face, the way he was cradling his ribs. He looked like he was run over by a car. A car that had backed up and repeatedly run him over again and again. Faith was shocked at just how bad he looked this time around.
Then the Doctor was done. He said there were papers needing to be signed as he left, leaving the three officers and the delinquent.
"So…how you been?" Faith closed her eyes the second she said that, knowing how stupid it sounded. She knew the looks she was getting for it. When she opened them again they were still looking at her.
"Look you called me, okay? I was at the bar, blame it on the alcohol." All three looked away.
Thinking for a second and trying to get her bearings, Faith tried again this time taking it a bit slower, walking closer.
"Do you wanna tell me what happened?"
"You gotta be kidding me." Bosco declared, anger was defiantly in his body language and in his tone.
Faith could not believe this, here she drops what she is doing and gets nothing but an attitude? She began stepping even closer as her own anger started to rupture.
"Look you're the one that," but once again before Faith could finish her statement Boscorelli pointed his finger at Davis and Sully.
"Not with these two bozo's here."
"Your vocabulary just keeps getting better and better every time we see you." Sully said, who was leaning back on the wall with his hands in his pockets while was Davis standing more upright, ready to pounce on anything.
"Yea? Well, you keep getting fatter and fatter every time I see you."
Davis was ready to take on Bosco, who was now standing up on his feet as Davis began to approach.
"Now that was uncalled for!" Davis was one never to take anybody making fun of Sully. Not ever since his father was shot and killed and the only father figure he knew was Sully.
"OH! Want me to say sorry? Sorry! Oh wait…no I'm not," looking at Sully "He's fat and you're just a pig who thinks he can push people around."
Davis began to grab Bosco but Faith jumped into the middle, Bosco stepping out of reach. Sully coming off the wall, grabbing Davis by the arm began dragging him out the door.
"You wait Boscorelli your mouth is going to get you in trouble and I'm going to be there when it does!"
"PLEASE LIKE I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT SHIT BEFORE!"
Bosco shook his head and grabbed his ribs as they began to bug him from all the movement.
"WELL," Faith said very loudly as she watched from the window. Davis was still wanting to get pass Sully. "You sure cause quite some entertainment when your're around." She turned around to see that Bosco's back was to her. His voice low, hesitant he asked.
"Can I stay with you?"
Faith had to be losing her mind, yeah that was it or maybe the alcohol was beginning to really play with her mind now.
"Excuse me?"
"Look I'm not going to beg, and I'm surely not going to repeat myself." His voice still low, but now defensive.
Bosco had his back to her still and was refusing to look at her. When he finally turned, she saw it, even though he tried so hard to hide it behind his stone wall. He was fearful of something or someone. For once Faith didn't know what to say or do.

Linking Park's - Breaking The Habit
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
[Unless I try to start again]
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That i'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause i'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Breaking the Habit
Tonight
