Author's Note: Rating PG 13 or R for violence

The next morning,

Bosco woke up, his eyes were so blurry, he could see a figure in front of
him, but his eyes were just not working.

"Don't worry about your vision, it's just the drug," Jeffery said, with a
laugh. "Your vision will come back to normal in a few minutes."

Bosco mumbled something through the gag in his mouth.

Jeffery shook his head. "I don't think I'm going to let you talk just yet." Jeffery said, as
he smiled at Bosco.

He then walked up to him and tightened the bounds on Bosco's hands.
When Jeffery did that, Bosco yelled out in pain.

"Did I hurt you officer?" Jeffery laughed. "I just wanted to make sure that
your bounds were tight enough for you. We wouldn't want to escape would we?"

"Now I have a surprise for you… would you like to see what your friends are
up to?" Jeffery said, with a laugh.

Bosco's whole face went white .Jeffery then laughed.
"I guess that means you want to. Well first… I'll show
you that little girl that was so easy to hurt. She didn't even scream." he said, as he held a picture of Amanda in his hands. Bosco mumbled something through his gag.

"Not yet, Boscorelli, you will get your turn to say something. It's not
polite to talk when someone is doing a presentation."

"The next one is your mom. She screamed a bit, but not much…"

"Then it's your friend, Sullivan, he was a problem, but where I put him
nobody is going to find him. I promise you that. Then we leave the best one
for last. Your old partner, Faith. She did a lot of fighting, but I stop
her."

"Now, you can talk," Jeffery replied, as he took the gag out of Bosco's
mouth. "You jag off. It's me that you want, not them. Why would you hurt
them?"

"Because I can."

"Just like I'm going to break you, I'm starting to do it already." Jeffery
laughed." I can see the fear in your eyes already."

"That's not fear, that's anger. You don't want to see how angry I can get."

Jeffery grinned at Bosco. "Like I would be scared of you."

"You should be." Bosco replied.

Jeffery grabbed Bosco's face, and held it roughly. "You're never going to
leave here. You are going to be my captive forever. I'm going to have all
the power all you. When I'm done with you…."

"Yes I know I'm going to be nothing." Bosco said, laughing.

"You know you should have respect for me."

"Respect for you… you kidnapped me." Bosco yelled.

Jeffery shook his head. "I had to," he said, as he walked over to the table and picked up a scarf and started to play with it. Bosco's whole body tensed up. He could put on a brave face and pretend that he wasn't scared when Jeffery was hitting him, but he couldn't be in the dark. He just couldn't.

Jeffery grinned at Bosco, as he saw the look of fear in Bosco's eyes.

"That's right. I have the one thing that you fear in my hands. I'm going to break you that I promise you, if it takes me years, I will do it."

He then placed the scarf over Bosco's eyes, and then tied it behind his head. Bosco tried to move his hands.

"Oh Officer, nothing is going to break. You can move your hands as much as
you want, it won't break, I made sure of that."

I have to stay strong, Bosco thought to himself.

Jeffery then walked up to Bosco. "Open your mouth." Jeffery said.

Bosco wouldn't do it. So Jeffery grabbed Bosco's chin and open Bosco's mouth and pour the water into his throat.

"Don't worry I haven't drugged it; you need to stay healthy! I can't have my
captive getting sick."

"But you can hurt me."

Jeffery laughed. "You deserve it, all of the captives do. You think that you
are this great cop, that nothing can hurt you, you can treat everybody like
shit."

"I don't know what happened to you, Jeffery, but I'm not like that."

Jeffery grabbed the knife and lift Bosco's shirt up and cut him in his
chest, but not enough to kill him. "Don't you lie to me? Next time I will
make sure that you die. I promise you that."

"Soon you are going to wish you are dead."

Bosco laughed.

Jeffery hit him across the face. "I'm getting really sick and tired of your
attitude; I think leaving you alone in the dark will make you think about
some things, just in case that doesn't, this will." Jeffery said, as he
punched Bosco in the stomach. Bosco's whole body ached, he couldn't yell out
in pain. He couldn't let Jeffery know that he was winning.

"See you in a while." Jeffery said, as he walked up the stairs, and then
closed the door behind him.

The one thing that he has was afraid of was being buried alive.

Now here he is being buried alive, his nightmare was coming true, and there
was nothing he could do. He struggled and fight with Jeffery, but he was tied
up. It was really a losing battle.

Jeffery laughed at him and said that he had enough air to last 24 hours, but
more than that, he was dead.

Sully sighed. This wasn't how he thought he was going to die. He tried as
hard as he could to get out of the bounds, but he knew that it was no use,
even if he was able to get out of the bounds, there was no way he was going
to be able to get out here. The pain in his side was intensify. When
Jeffery stabbed him. He laughed at Sully, saying you are going to die from
the knife wound or being burying alive.

He was trapped and there was nothing he could do about it.

888888

"We looked at every beach and every warehouse near water. There is nothing."
the FBI agent said.

Ty looked at him. "We aren't going to give up."

Sasha placed her hand on Ty's shoulder. "Maybe Jeffery was trying to trick
us."

Ty sighed, as he looked at Sasha. "I'm going to find Sully and the rest of
them if it is the last thing that I do." he said, as he started to walk back
to the car. Sasha followed him. Just as they were about to get inside, they
heard a loud scream, Ty, Sasha and the FBI agent run to where they heard the
scream.

A woman came out of a boat. Ty walked up to the woman. "What's wrong?" She
looked at Ty." Who are you?"

Ty showed her his badge. She looked at him. "Woman…"

"What woman?" he asked. "Why did you scream?"

Sasha could tell the woman was scared, and was more likely to talk to her.

"I know this is scary, but was there was a woman inside your boat dead?"
The woman shook her head. "She looks really cold." Ty radioed for an
ambulance to come right now.

The FBI Agent looked at the woman. "You need to show us where this woman is,
okay?" The woman nodded, as she walked up the stairs into the boat and then
walked into a closet. Ty opened the closet, and he looked in horror as he
saw Bosco's mom lying on the ground.

Ty radioed for an ambulance. He then felt her and could tell that she was
cold. He took his jacket off and put it over Rose, who was coming in and out
of unconscious " It's going to be okay.

"Where is the damn ambulance?" Ty yelled. Sasha then looked at Ty. "Look,"
she said, as she pointed to the note on Rose. The FBI agent looked at him.
"Don't touch it."

"Really," Ty said. "We are cops too."

The FBI agent then read the note. "Did you find her in time? I'm guessing
you will want to find the next one. Let's see you need to go deep under.

Ty looked at Sasha. "What do you think that means?"

Sasha sighed. "I don't know."

The FBI agent looked at them. "The next person is under ground somewhere."

888888

The ambulance had just left with Rose, they were worried was because she was
soaking wet that they were worried that she was going into hypothermia.

Ty sighed. Why did this guy do this? What did he gain by hurting these
people? He had to find Sully before it was too late.

Sasha placed a hand on Ty's shoulder. "Thomason said that he is leaving now
to go and find out where the next person is."

"You mean either Faith, Bosco or Sully. Three of our friends?" Ty replied.
"How can you be so calm when it's one of ours?"

Sasha sighed. "I'm not calm. I'm scared for all of them, but that is not
going to help them. Sully's going to be okay, Ty. I know it. He's being a
cop for years."

"But has he ever been in a situation like this?" Ty replied, as they walked
towards their car. Sasha sighed. "Maybe not, but he's smart. He's going to
be able to figure out how to escape."

"What if Thomason is right and Sully is the one underground, how is suppose
to get out of there?" Ty said, as tears started to fall down his cheeks.

"I don't know what to say, Ty. We are going to find them." She said, as they
got into the car and drove off.

88888

Bosco heard the door opening, and heard the footsteps coming towards him.

"Officer, are you going to behave now?" Jeffery said, as he took the
blindfold off Bosco's eyes.

Bosco didn't say anything. He was going to remain as tough as he could. It
was the only weapon he had to stay alive.

"Oh when are you going to learn?" Jeffery said, laughing. "Let me guess you
think if you stay tough that you can take any beating. That you are strong
enough. Are you dumb?"

"No that would be you. I'm a police officer, you're a what? A drug lord, but
you aren't are you? If you were, you would have killed me by now? You are
just a wimp. What are you going to just keep me here like this, and do what
to me? You don't know do you?"

"I know what you are doing, Officer. It's not going to work, and for that
I'm going to have to make you pay. Now I just have to decide what kind of
punishment?" he said, with a grin, as he brought his knees to Bosco's
stomach and punched him as hard as he could.

Bosco then yelled out in pain.

"Was that painful for you?" Jeffery laughed. "Or yes, you have a knife wound
from earlier, I better be careful not to..." he said, with a laugh, as he
punched him again in the stomach. "hurt you."

Jeffery looked into Bosco's eyes and the panic and fear were evident in
them. He has never had so much fun with a captive before.

"Should I stop?" Jeffery said, laughing. He then looked at Bosco, who now
was battered and bruised. He didn't look like the tough cop anymore.

"Why are you doing this?"

Jeffery smiled at Bosco. "You want to know. You want to know why I like
torturing and killing police officers, but not just any ones, ones that
think that nothing will hurt them."

"But I'm not like that anymore; I know that things can hurt me. Hello I was
shot 4 times." Bosco yelled with frustration.

Jeffery shakes his head. "Yes you might have got hurt, but that hasn't
change you, you are still the same tough ass person that you always been. I
know your type. I kill and torture your type. "

"That doesn't explain why."

"That's easy." Jeffery replied. "I was a cop, and I had a partner who was
exactly like you, who thought that nothing could hurt him that he was
invisible. He would go without back-up. Then one day, he got shot twice when
chasing after someone. I chased after him, but it was too late, he was gone.
If only he had waited for me instead of running off."

"So because your partner died you decide to just kill and torture people
that are like him. Do you really think your partner would want you to do
that?"

"Don't you dare talk about my partner? You don't know him." Jeffery said,
angry, as he hit Bosco across the face.

Bosco shakes his head. "I know what is like when your partner is hurt, but
this isn't going to bring your partner back."

"Don't try and be nice to me now. I only told you the reason because you
deserve to know why I'm doing this. Not that it is going to change anything.
I'm still going to make you fear me."

"That's what I don't get, if you are doing this because of what happened to
your partner, why do you want me to fear you, and be nothing."

"Because my partner fear nothing, and look what happened to him. I can't let
that happen to anybody else. I have to do this."

"You don't have to do this. Just let me go, and…" Jeffery put his hand on
Bosco's mouth.

"Stop it before you said that you will make sure that nothing happens to me.
Don't think I'm stupid. You're not getting out of here ever."

Bosco then bit Jeffery's hand. "You bastard." Jeffery said, moving away
from Bosco. "You are worse than the others."

He then grabbed the knife and waved it in Bosco's face. Bosco looked in
fear. Here he was a police officer and there was nothing he could to save
himself, he was helpless. He hated feeling this way.

"Hmm... no I don't think I'm going to stab you right now. But I bet your
mind was thinking that."

"Yeah right." Bosco lied.

"I have had many captives, but I have never ever met before, you are
definitely a challenge. I love challenges."

Bosco smirked.

Jeffery laughed. " I see your attitude hasn't change yet,
but it will, I promise you."

Jeffery then walked over to the window.

"Why did you kill Amanda's parents?" Bosco questioned. "They weren't police
officers."

Jeffery turned around. "That's easy. I had to kill people to
make out I was this drug lord; it was only suppose to be her dad. I did it
to get your attention. See I wasn't going to kidnap you like the others, I
wanted to just kill you, but you would never die. But I'm glad that you
didn't die when I wanted you to, because this is so much better."

"You are a sick, twisted bastard." Bosco yelled. "You're not going to get
away with this."

"But I am. I've gotten away with this for years. Not one of my captives have
escaped or been found. I only let them go when it is time or sometimes I
kill them. It takes months before I let them go. So don't think you are
getting away anytime soon." Jeffery said, as he walked back towards Bosco.

"But I will."

Jeffery smirked. "We'll see won't we?" He then grabbed the scarf and shoved
it into Bosco's mouth tying in behind his head.

Bosco mumbled something through his gag. Jeffery then walked up to Bosco.
"What you want me to make it tight for you?" Jeffery said, as he pulled at
the knot. He smiled when he looked at Bosco and could the pain in his eyes.

"Oh Officer, this is going to be so much fun."

"Maurice..." Rose said, quietly. The doctor looked at his patient. "You are
doing a little better; we are still pretty worried about you."

"Maurice…" Rose yelled.

The doctor looked at Rose. "You need to calm down, Ms. Boscorelli." Rose
looked at the doctor. "Where's Maurice?"

"I'm going to go and find out. You need to rest." The doctor said, as he
walked out of the room. Lieu was waiting outside of the room. He knew that
Bosco would want someone to check up on his mother.

"How is she?"

The doctor shakes his head. "Her stab wound isn't too bad, didn't hurt any major tissue or anything, and her body temperature is slowly regulating back to normal."

"So the hydrothermia wasn't bad?" Lieu asked.

"It could have been much worse. She is going to need to stay in the hospital
for a few days. She keeps on asking for someone name Maurice is he here?"
the doctor asked. Lieu looked at the doctor. "No, he's not. We haven't
found him yet."

"I didn't recognize the name first of all, but my patient is one of the
kidnapped victims that were on the TV yesterday, her son was one of them
wasn't he?"

Lieu nodded. "Just don't tell Rose anything yet until we find him. I don't
want her getting upset."

The doctor nodded. "I will." Lieu then looked at the doctor. "Do you know
how the little girl that was brought in a while ago is doing, her name is
Amanda."

"She wasn't my patient, but I can go and see if I can find her doctor." Lieu
nodded. "Thank you."

Lieu walked over to the waiting room when Officer Matthews came up to him.

"How's Bosco's mom doing?"

"As good as can be expected. Has there been any news about Sully, Faith or
Bosco?"

Officer Matthews shakes his head. "Nothing."

Lieu shakes his head. "I can't believe this guy was able to get away without any of us knowing."

"He is sneaky, but we are going to get him.

Lieu sighed. "We have to."

He then saw a doctor coming towards them. "I heard that you were asking
about my patient, the little girl. Are you family?"

"I'm the police, I'm working the case, and I needed to know how she is
doing?"

The doctor sighed. "She is doing pretty badly. She has some broken ribs, and
we are pretty concerned about the concussion, we won't know how bad it is
until she wakes up."

"Thanks," Lieu said, as he shakes hands with the doctor.

Officer Matthews turned to Lieu. "I'm going to go and see if there is anything I can do."

Lieu nodded. "See you back at the station." he said. Lieu then walked over
to the waiting room, and sat down on the chairs, and put his hands on his
face.

They have to be okay. They were like his own kids; he didn't know what he
would do if something happened to them.

88888

I need to say awake, Sully thought to himself, but he was slowly starting to
close his eyes.

He flashed back to his whole life and everything that happen, the good and
the bad. This is not how he wanted to die.

Ty

How was he going to deal with this? Sully thought to himself. He is strong.
He will forget about me in time.

Suddenly Sully saw a hand… "Grab my hand," said a voice. Sully looked up and
saw Tatiana staring at him.

"Am I dying?"

She looked at him. "Just take my hand, everything will be okay. "

Sully looked at her. "I can't…"

She looked at him. "Just try..."

Suddenly Sully heard another voice. "Sully, I'm coming," He then looked up
and saw Ty coming towards a cemetery. He was looking around the grave and
then suddenly he saw something. It said Officer John Sullivan…

I'm imagining this…. Sully thought to himself. How can I see this?"

Tatiana looked at him. "Sully, come with me."

Suddenly Tatiana started to fade away and Sully then closed his eyes.

8888

"I'm coming, Sully," Ty said, as he started to dig the grave. "What if
Jeffery is tricking us?" the FBI agent said.

"Then we just going to have to go to every cemetery there is. I'm going to
find Sully; I'm not going to let him die."

Sasha then started to help Ty dig the grave. Carlos and Grace were waiting
with them; Carlos knew how much Sully meant to Ty. He knew that there was no
chance that Sully could survive that, but he wasn't going to say anything to
Ty. People say that he isn't sensitive.

"Come on… we can't stop." Ty said, as he saw people were stopping digging.

"This is one of us. Would you want someone to stop if was you." Ty said,
yelling.

Suddenly Ty hit something. "I think we got something." Ty then turned to
the funeral director. "We need you to open this."

The person looked at Ty. "I shouldn't be doing this."

The FBI agent looked the person. "We aren't digging up a dead body, this person is alive," He said.

Ty then started to pace around the cemetery. "We are losing time."

The funeral person looked at the grave. "It doesn't look like it is too
deep, we just need to pull it up a bit."

"Then do it!" Ty yelled.

"I need you all to stand back." Ty nodded, as they all stood up. Ty was so
scared and afraid of what he was going to find.

I just hope we found him in time, he thought to himself. Sasha places her
hand on Ty's shoulder. "Ty, it's going to be okay,"

He looked at her. "What if we didn't find him in time."

She put her arms around him. "Don't think
that way."

Suddenly the cell phone rang. I can't take this…… Ty said, looking at them
bring the coffin up.

Sasha looked at Ty. "I'll take the call for you." she
said, as she grabbed his cell phone and walked away from him.

He smiled at her. "Thanks."

Ty was feeling so tired, but he knew that he needed to do this. He then
watched Carlos and Grace run to Sully. He wanted to so much to go over there
and find out what is happening, but he knew that Carlos and Grace need space
to work.

Please be okay, Ty thought to himself, as a tear fall down his cheek.

Carlos then run up to Ty. "Sully…"

"Please… don't tell me that he is gone." Ty said, looking at Carlos's face.

He could see sadness on it."Sully is in bad shape. His pulse is weak. He is unconscious and he has lots
of cuts and bruises, and…"

"And what Carlos?" Ty yelled.

"Please don't hide anything from me, I need to know."

"Sully was stabbed; he is bleeding out. We need to get him to the hospital now."

Ty then looked at Carlos. "Then what are you doing? Get him to the hospital."

"Do you want to be in the ambulance with Sully?"

The FBI agent looked at Ty. "This was in the grave with him. It was another clue. It says where it all started…"
"What does that mean?"
Sasha then walked up to them. "It doesn't matter… someone found Faith, she is at the hospital."
"What about Bosco?" Ty asked.

Sasha looked at Ty. "Lieu said that he will tell us everything when we get there."

"Carlos… we need to go now. His pulse is getting weaker."

Ty ran after Carlos. He then turned around to Sasha. "I'll meet you at the hospital."

8888

Sasha and the FBI agent walked into the hospital when she saw Lieu coming towards her. "How's Faith and Sully?"

"Faith is in critical condition, she has a pretty bad cut to her head. We don't know exactly what happened. If he cut her or if he pushed her and she fall. But she was handcuffed to a pole. She hasn't woken up yet. Sully is in bad shape, he had a stab wound to the chest. They are going to have to operate."

"What about Bosco?" Sasha asked. "Is he here too?"

Lieu sighed.

"I want to wait until Ty is here, Sasha." She then walked over to Sully's room, and saw Ty sitting in the chair next to him.

"Why did this have to happen?" Sasha replied.

"First Ty, now Sully, Faith."

"I don't know. " Lieu said. Ty then walked out of the room. "The doctors said that they are going to operate soon. This is my fault."

"No it's not, Ty." Ty watched as the doctor wheeled Sully away to surgery.

"I'm sorry, Sully." He said, as he walked over to the waiting area and sat down.

Sasha then turned to Lieu. "We are all here, what about Bosco. Where is he?"

Lieu looked at him. "He's still missing, the note that was on Faith's body said.
"You found them, expect one, and you are never going to find him. You can try, but you are going to lose and I'm going to win. There was a picture with it of Bosco."

"I'm not going to let him win." Ty said.

"No way." Sasha put her arms around Ty.

"There is nothing you can do." Ty turned around.

"Nothing I can do, we found the others. We are going to find Bosco. He's one of us. He would do the same for all of us." The next morning, Ty was sitting in Sully's room, he had woken up, but it was far from better. The doctors were still worried about him. Lieu and Agent Thomson walked into the room. "Davis, Thomason think he might know where Bosco is."

Ty turned around and looked at Lieu. "That's great news, do…"

Lieu stopped for a moment. "You stay here with Sully. He needs you." Sully woke up. He was really weak.

"Save... Bos.."

Ty looked at his friend and partner. "Sully… shhh.. don't talk right now, you are really weak."

"Sa..ve.."

Lieu looked at Ty and Sully. "We are going to do our best." Lieu then walked up to Sully, and hugged him.
"Get better soon."

Ty turned to Lieu. "How are the rest?"
"Faith and Rose are stable, but Amanda is still critical; she hasn't woken up yet." Lieu replied, sighing.

Thomason then looked at Lieu. "We need to go now."
"Be…care...ful" Sully said, as he drifted off to sleep. Ty then got up and walked out with them, as he knew that Sully needed his sleep.

"Who is going with you?" Ty asked.

"I am." Sasha said.

Ty looked at her. "You can't do that. I can't let anything happen to you." She laughed at him.
"I'm a cop remember. I helped you find the others."

"I know that, but that was different, I was with you. We weren't going after the guy.

Sasha kissed Ty. "I'm not going to be the only one, Agent Thomason, Lieu and bunch of other cops are going to be there with me. Don't worry."

"Don't say that. I love you, I will always worry about you."

"We need to go now," Lieu said. Ty hugged Sasha, and kissed her again, and then watched as they walked away. He just hoped and prayed they were going to be okay and were going to find Bosco.

8888

Sasha, Lieu and the others entered the house. They looked into each room, but there was nothing. Then Sasha saw a door.

"What if this is a basement," she said, as she opened the door, and walked down the stairs, she looked in horror of what she said, there were shackles and chains chained to the wall. She could only imagined what Bosco went through. But where was he? She thought to himself. Are we too late?

"Guys come down here. Bosco isn't here, but maybe there is some evidence that can help us!" Sasha yelled.

Meanwhile, in a secret room, "It is good that I found out your friends knew where you were, I was just about ready to get you into the van when they came into the door. At least I was quick enough to hide us in this secret room? Are you glad that I did that? We can't have anybody finding you, can we?"

Bosco tried to say something, but the gag was still in his mouth. Jeffery looked at Bosco moving his hands, which were handcuffed together.

"Your hands aren't going to get loose. I made sure of that. Wasn't I smart to handcuff your hands together as soon as I untie them from the wall? Can't have you escapeing on me."

Jeffery then walked over to the table in the room. Bosco tried moved his legs, but they were duct taped together. There has to be something that he can do to get out of this, I'm tougher than this, Bosco thought to himself.

Bosco was trying to get the gag out of his mouth, slowly he got it sort out of his mouth, not all the way, but enough to scream, but before he do anything he felt Jeffery's hand on his mouth shoving in back inside. He then grabbed the knife that was on the table and put against Bosco's throat.

"You try that again, and I will kill you."

To be continued
