Chapter 8
Author's Note: I would like to thank Jamie for everything that she had done for me for this chapter and the story, you don't know how much it means to me. You are great.
Bosco was sitting outside of the church, he tried to stay in as long as he could, but he couldn't just sit there and listen to everybody talk about how sad they are that Faith is gone, when he knows in his heart that Faith wasn't gone, and he was going to find her.
"Boscorelli." said a voice. Bosco turned around, and saw Wiggs and FBI Agent Micheals standing in front of him.
"I'm sorry about your friend; I never like to end a case like this." FBI Agent Michaels replied. Bosco looked at him. "She's alive, I know it."
"Boscorelli. I would love if you are right, she was one of my best decetives but she's gone."
"No, she's not, Wiggs. I know you don't believe us, but I won't believe it until I see a body," Jeff said, as he walked up to them.
Wiggs put his hand on Jeff's shoulder. "Don't do this to yourself." He said, as he and Michaels walked away.
Jeff looked at Bosco. " I guess we are the only ones that believe that she's alive. So what are we going to do about it?"
"What you aren't going to tell me that I should get on with my life, you really believe it," Bosco replied.
"Like I told you before, I don't believe that Faith is dead, I won't until I see a body,"
Bosco nodded. "Good for you."
"We could help each other with finding her." Jeff replied, looking directly at Bosco.
"I don't need any help, I can do myself."
Jeff nodded. "Fine, I don't care, you do your investigation and I'll do mine." Standing up, he started towards the door.
"Wait," Bosco said.
Jeff stopped, looking over his shoulders. "You wanna work together or not?"
"We can try it out… but don't think I'm going to listen to what you have to say,"
"You don't know me well… I don't listen to what anybody says, I do what I want." Jeff responded.
Bosco grinned slightly. "Then we'll get along fine."
"Our first step is to visit the people that are on Faith's contact list. Cross check her phone records, and see what we come up with."
"So why haven't we done that before?" Bosco asked.
"I don't know," Jeff responded. "Wiggs just found the notebook."
Bosco sighed. "We could have find her earlier, if Wiggs found this book earlier."
"We're going to find her… Officer Boscorelli, I promise you."
"Call me Bosco."
"Okay, Bosco, let's go find Faith." Jeff responded.
"Stop right there," said a voice. "You aren't going anywhere." Jeff turned around and saw his wife Tracy standing in front of him. "I know you think that Faith's alive, but she's not, don't do this to yourself."
"I know you just worry about me, Tracy," Jeff said, as he walked up to her, and put his arms around her. "But I need to find her, she's alive, I know it, it's just something I know."
She looked at Bosco. "Are you the one that is telling my husband that his friend is still alive?
"I do believe that she's alive, but I'm not making anybody believe anything, your husband can believe what he wants." Bosco responded.
"Bosco…. Don't do this." Sully said appearing in the doorway, having listened to what Jeff and Bosco were talking about. "You don't still believe that she's alive, do you?"
"I understand that you don't believe me, Sul, but let's say that Ty was missing, and they hadn't found his body would you just believe that he's dead." Sully didn't say anything to Bosco. "I'm guessing that is a yes."
"Bosco, Faith wouldn't want to you to get like this. What if it takes us years to find her body, are you going to search for years."
"If I have to, I will."
Ty, Sasha and Lynn walked out of the church. Sully looked at Ty. "Maybe Bosco will listen to you, because he is sure for hell not listening to me." Sully responded, as he grabbed Lynn's hand. "Let's go." he said, as they walked away.
"Don't even start on me, Ty; I know what you are going to say." Bosco yelled
Ty looked at Bosco. "I know that you cared a lot about Faith, I understand why her death is hard for you, but this isn't going to do any good thinking she is alive."
"Can you just stop being like this? You call yourself his friends, but you don't even believe him. "Jeff shouted. "The least you can do is try and help him, but all you want to do is tell him to get on with his life."
"That's not what I was saying." Ty said, as he placed his hand on Bosco's shoulder. "We just care about you, we don't want to see you hurt, we know that Faith is very important to you, we just don't want you to get disappointed."
"Thanks, Ty, I'll deal with that when I get to it." Bosco said, as he turned to Jeff. "I'm just going to say goodbye to my ma, and then we go and get on that lead."
Jeff nodded. "Sure." He hugged and kissed Tracy. "I don't know when I'll be back."
"I know that you need to do this, and I can't stop you, but don't forgot me." She then grabbed her hand and put his hand on her stomach. "And your daughter or son."
"I won't." Tracey then hugged him again. "I really do hope Faith's alive, and you are right. She was always nice to me, even though I know how hard it was for her to see me being pregnant, after the way she lost her kids."
"Well that's Faith, always nice." Jeff said, with a smile, thinking of Faith. Tracy then waved goodbye and left.
Ty and Sasha walked up to Jeff. "Just take care of him." Ty said, as he and Sasha walked away.
(((
An hour later,
Greg walked into the hotel room, and walked up to Faith. "You'll never believe where I was."
She looked at him this scared look on her face.
He sat down next to her. "I was at your memorial service, it was so beautiful." She tried to talk through the duct tape. He smirked at you. "Are you trying to say something?" he asked, as he walked up to her and pulled off the duct tape.
She yelled in pain.
"Shh, Faith. We don't want anybody to suspect anything." Greg said.
"There is no way in hell that there was a memorial service for me, people are looking for me."
"Well you are wrong, because everybody think you are dead."
"No… that can't be true, I don't believe you."
He then pulled a few pictures out of his pocket. "Well here are some few pictures of them mourning the loss of their favorite cop." Greg replied.
"How did you do this without anybody seeing?" Faith asked.
Greg pulled out his cell phone. "I have a camera phone," he said, with a grin. "They didn't even suspect. But this picture right here is the most interesting, whoever this person is he doesn't care that you are dead, I don't even see one tear."
Faith looked at the picture of Bosco. There is no way that he wouldn't care about me. There's just no way.
Greg looked at Faith. "This person is important to you, isn't he? How does that make you feel that he doesn't care about you?"
"You don't know anything, he is looking for me, he wouldn't give up."
"Well it looks like he has." Greg responded, as he walked into the bathroom.
Faith couldn't believe this, Bosco wouldn't give up on her, he would find her. She then sighed. But it's not like we are partners or best friends anymore, maybe he doesn't care about me anymore. Nobody carse about me, I'm alone. She thought to herself.
Greg then walked out of the bathroom. "Well it's time to go, Faith." he said, as he walked up to her and unties her hands and feet from the chair.
He then grabbed her hand. "You are going to walk out of this hotel room quietly. You hear me." he said, as he pulled a knife out of his pocket.
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way?" Greg replied. "I love you, Faith, I don't want to hurt you, but if I have to."
Faith knew that she had no choice but to listen to him and it's not like anybody will be looking for her anymore.
So she started walking, with Greg right behind her, and even if she started to run, he would catch her no matter what. She then got to the car. "Get in." he yelled. She got into the passenger seat; he then closed the door, and walked over to the driver's seat.
He looked at her, as he closed the door. "Now do I need to tie you up?" He then shakes his head. "I don't think so seeing as you didn't run when we left the hotel room, so maybe you are finally realizing that you love me and want to be with me."
"Never." Faith said, as she looked at the window.
"I'm sure that will change," he said, as they drive away.
((
Sully and Lynn walked into Ty's apartment. Lynn looked at Sully and knew that he needed to talk to Ty.
"Hey Sasha, do you think you could show me that photo album you told me about?" Lynn asked. Sully smiled at Lynn and whispered the words. "Thank you."
"Sure," Sasha said, as she and Lynn got up and left Sully and Ty alone to talk. Sully looked at Ty. "We need to talk about Bosco."
Ty sighed. "We can't do anything, he thinks that Faith's alive, and now that Jeff guy believe it, there is nothing we can do about it."
"Well I guess then we are going to have to help him." Sully responded.
Ty looked at Sully with this confused look on his face. "What are you talking about; you don't believe that Faith is alive."
"I don't, and you don't either, but we need to look out for him, this Jeff person doesn't know Bosco like we know him." Sully replied.
"So you are telling us to lie to Bosco."
"We won't lie to him; we'll just tell him we just want to help him." Sully said.
"I don't think that is going to well with him." Ty responded, looking at Sully.
"I never said it would be an easy job."
((
Half an hour later,
Greg looked at Faith. "We need to get some food," he said, as he parked the car in the parking lot of the supermarket. He then got out of the car, and walked over to Faith's side, and opened the door.
"Since you have been so good, you can come with me," he said, as he grabbed her hand tightly. "Don't you ever think about doing anything stupid?" he said. She got out of the car.
"I'm not holding your hand."
"You are and you will. People will just think we are in love,"
Faith laughed. "Nobody would ever believe that." she said. He looked at her, as he held her hand tightly.
"Of course they would, unless you want to go back in the car."
"Fine," Faith said, as he and Faith walked towards the supermarket. She tried to let go of his hand, but he wouldn't let go. They then walked into the supermarket, and he grabbed a shopping basket with his free hand.
"So what do you want to eat, Faith?"
"I don't want anything from you"
"That's not the way to talk to me. How about some fish?" he asked. She shakes her head.
"What about some fruits. You must like that?"
"I'm not taking any food from you, I rather starve" Faith replied.
They then walked towards the chip sections. "I know you like potato chips, everybody does." he said, and then suddenly he let go of her hand, she realize that he wasn't paying attention to her, and that this was her time to escape.
So she started running, and a security guard came up to her. "You look upset, are you okay?"
"This man kidnapped me, and I need to get away from him." The security guard looked at her. He didn't know if she was telling the truth, but he wasn't going to take the chance that she was in danger.
"Why don't you come with me?"
"No, I have to go now… before he finds me." Faith said, afraid. But before he could say anything to Faith, she felt a hand around her waist.
"Are you telling lies again, Faith?" Greg said.
"She's been telling everybody that we see that I have kidnapped her. See my wife here is a little sick."
The guard looked at Greg. "But she seems really afraid, how about we just go into my office and talk."
Greg grabbed Faith's hand and held it tightly. "Do you really want to go to his office, and talk? You know I told you to stop telling people this, one day they are going to believe you."
Faith looked at the guard with this scared look on her face, she wanted to escape from Greg, but she was scared of what he would do, there were kids in the supermarket, she couldn't risk him killing them because of her escaping.
"I know that you told me to stop, I'm sorry, Greg." Faith said, feeling disgusted that she had to pretend that she was lying about being kidnapped."
Greg then looked at the guard. "Is there anywhere I could pay for my groceries right now without lining up, as I really need to get my wonderful wife to the doctor." Greg said, grinning at Faith.
"Sure, you could pay at the customer service desk." He said. "Just tell them that I sent you, I hope your wife can get some help."
"Me too," he said, holding on tightly to Faith's hand. He whispered in her ears. "You're going to pay for this."
((
Bosco was looking through the notebook while Jeff was going through the computer trying to find something that they missed.
"Jeff, I think I got something." Bosco said. "In the list of people to talk about Greg, there is a big circle around a Dr. Shawn Cusak; there must be a reason that Faith circles his name. I think we need to have a little chat with Dr. Cusak."
"You're not going to believe what I just found, there is a hidden file about Greg Mitchell, I don't know why Faith didn't want anybody to know, but I just found it."
"How did you get into it?" Bosco asked.
Jeff smiled. "Well I figure out her password, it was pretty easy, it was your name."
Bosco was taken back by that, he thought that Faith just forgot about him, but I guess not. Bosco then turned to Jeff. "Were you there for her… you know… when," Bosco stopped in mid sentence as tears fall down his cheeks. "When Emily and Charlie die"
"I tried to be, as best as I could, but she shut herself away from everybody, especially from Miller."
"I don't want to hear that name.. after what he did to her, she was mourning the loss of her kids, and I guess you could say her ex-husband too. Did he think that she could just get over her kids like that? It would take years to get over something like that; I don't ever think you ever would."
"So she never phoned you?"
Bosco shakes his head. "No. I think she did that because she knew I would drop whatever I am doing and being there for her, and she knew that she couldn't distance herself from me, I know her too well."
"That sounds like Faith." Jeff said with a smile. "I wish that Miller could have stay with her and help her thorough it all, but I don't think they were meant for each other."
Bosco nodded. "Well let's go visit Dr. Cusak." But before they could do that, there was a knock on the door, and Ty and Sully were standing in front of the doorway.
" I don't have time for this." Bosco said, as he stood up and grabbed his jacket. Sully put his hand on Bosco's shoulder. "We are here to help you."
"Help me?" Bosco yelled. "Why would you want to help me? You don't believe that she's alive."
"I know that, but we care about you, Bosco."
"I don't care about that, Sul; I don't want your pity." Bosco yelled. "I don't need you."
"I'm not pitying you."
"Well do you believe that she's alive then?" Bosco asked.
Ty walked up to Bosco. "We are going to help whether you like it or not, don't you want as much help as you need."
"I don't want people that just doing it because they want to make sure that I don't break" Bosco said, looking directly at Sully. "I'm not stupid; I know that is what you are doing."
"Okay, Bosco, that is what we are doing, we just want to make sure that you are okay, is that really that bad? You would do the same for us. Just let us help you." Bosco sighed. "Fine, me and Jeff are going to go and talked to Greg's doctor friend. Jeff just found a file on Faith's computer about Greg, so maybe the two of you can look at that."
"How about we go with you to the doctor and Jeff stays here." Ty replied.
"No, I think this is better." Bosco said, as he and Jeff headed out of the office.
((
Faith and Greg walked back to the car, he then throw the bag in the trunk. He throws Faith into the backseat; she looked at him in fear. He closed the door behind him. "I can't believe that you did that, I thought you were starting to like me, but you lie to me."
"I never lie to you." Faith said. He then hit her across the face. "Yes you did, you made out that you were starting to be good, and weren't going to make trouble, but you did." He then grabbed her hands, and pulled them over her head. "You are going to pay for this."
He then pulled a cloth out his pocket, the smell of cholform was stronger this time, she knew that there was nothing she could, she tried to stop it from happening, but there was really no use.
"No… "Faith screamed. He touched her face. "Just relax." He said, as he watched her close her eyes. " That's right, just sleep." he said, as he lay down, and got out of the car, and got into the driver's seat, and drove off.
))
Bosco and Jeff walked into the hospital, and Mary Procter was in the admitting desk.
"Bosco." Mary Proctor said, as she hugged him. "I'm so sorry that I couldn't be at the memorial service, I can't believe that Faith's gone."
"Its fine, Mary. " Bosco replied. "I actually need to ask you a favor, there is a doctor named Shawn Cusak, I was wondering if you could tell me if he is working, we need to talk to him."
Mary looked at Bosco. "He's here…don't tell me he's in trouble."
"Does he get into trouble a lot?" Bosco asked. Mary Proctor looked at Bosco. "I shouldn't be saying this, but there has been a lot of medicine take in the few weeks, I think he is doing drugs, but I have no proof."
"Thanks for your help, Mary."
Mary Proctor looked at Bosco. "What's this all about? I didn't think you would be back at work so soon."
Bosco looked at Mary. "It's just something I'm working on."
Mary nodded. "Dr. Cusak is in room 2 right now."
"Thanks," Bosco said, as he and Jeff walked away.
Jeff looked at Bosco. "Why didn't you tell her that you thought Faith is alive?"
"She'd probably put me in the looney bin if I told her." Bosco said with a slight laugh. "Well she'd have to put me in as well."
"You know I'm starting to see why Faith and you got on so well." Bosco said.
Then they got towards the room where Dr. Cusak was, Bosco knocked on the door. "Are you Dr. Cusak?"
The doctor nodded. "Yes I am, may I ask who you are?"
Jeff and Bosco showed the badge.
"I told them that I didn't take the drugs." Dr. Cusak replied.
"That's not why we are here; we are here about your friend, Greg Mitchell?" Bosco could tell by the look on Dr. Cusak, that he knew exactly who they were talking about and it didn't look he was happy about it.
((
Faith slowly woke up, and felt so weak, as she opened her eyes she realize that she was standing up, she tried to move her feet and hands, but she realize that they were handcuffed to the pole.
"Why am I handcuffed to a pole?" she asked, as she looked around the room, and realized that she was in a dirty, dark basement.
"Because you won't listen to me, I try to be nice to you, but not anymore." Greg said, as he pulled a knife out of the bag that was on the floor, and put it against her face, and then down to her stomach.
"You are going to start to be nice to me," he said. She looked at fear. "Do I really have a choice?"
Greg shakes his head, as he hit her across the face. "You aren't ever going to listen to me are you?"
All of a sudden, she cried out, crying and wincing. He looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"Pain "
Greg lifts her shirt and saw that she was bleeding. He run towards his suitcase, and pulled some supplies out of it, and started to clean the wound.
"What are you a doctor?"
"My friend is a doctor and I watched him do this all the time." Greg said.
A few minutes later,
"All done," he said, as he went a bandage on her wound. He then touched her face. "We're going to have a great life together." She moved her head away from him.
"You bitch, I'm sick and tired of this, I've had enough. I wasn't going to do this, but you left me no choice." He said, as he walked over to his bag, and pulled out a syringe. Faith looked at him in fear, but there was nothing she could do about it, she was helpless.
"Please. don't." she pleaded.
He shakes his head. "I've had enough of this, you're going to learn who is in charge." he said, as he grabbed the syringe and placed in her arm.
Faith looked at him in fear, as she started to get sleepy, and her eyes started to close, and she then went into unconscious.
He smiled as he touched her face. "Maybe now you will realize that you never going to leave, not now or ever." he said, as he turned the lights off, and walked up the steps.
((
Jeff and Bosco have been talking to Dr. Cudak for the past half an hour and they still weren't getting any information from him. Bosco then grabbed a hold of him, and pulled him from his chair, pulling his face close.
"You are going to tell me what you know about Greg and where he has Faith, because believe me, today is not the day to piss me off."
"He's right." Jeff said. "I saw what the last person looked like that got him mad; I think he is still in the hospital."
Dr. Cusak looked at Bosco. "Fine, I'll tell you everything that you need to know about Greg Mitchell "
To be continued!
