Rating PG 13 for bad language

Bosco was in disbelief that Greg's car had just gone down the hill. "No, this is not happening,"

"We're not even sure that Faith is in the car?" Jeff asked.

"I'm not sure, but I'm not taking the chance." Bosco said, as he stopped the car, and got out of the car.

Jeff followed him. "Where are you going? If Faith is in that car, she could be..."

"I know what you are going to say-" Bosco said loudly, cutting him off. "But I have to go down there and be with her. I have to."

"Well then I'm coming with you."

"I need to do this alone, if she is gone, I have to do this on my own."

Jeff nodded. "I understand, but if you aren't back in like 10 minutes, I'm coming down there."

Bosco smiled slightly. "Deal." He took a deep breath, he knew that there was a chance that he was going to find Faith dead, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Bosco, are you sure you can do this on your own?"

"Yeah I'm sure, I'm fine." Bosco said, as he slowly went down the hill, trying not to fall. He was glad that it wasn't a too steep hill, as he got closer to the end of the hill, his heart rate was starting to go faster, and he was starting to feel anxious. What if he finds Faith's dead body in the car, what if he didn't find her or couldn't save her in time?

There were so many ifs, but he was never one to think about stuff like that, and he wasn't going to start.

He ran towards the car, and walked towards the driver's seat. Looking into the shattered window, his eyes fell on Greg. His eyes were closed as blood ran down his face from the top of his head.

Bosco pulled open the mangled driver's door, and pulled Greg from his seat. Tossing him onto the ground, Bosco delivered several violent kicks to his stomach, letting out all the anger, fear and hate that had built up. Finally feeling his breath leave him, he stood, raising his head once more to the car. He couldn't see another figure in the front seat, and he swallowed hard, starting towards the car. Seeing that the passenger door was locked, he let out a frustrated sigh.

"Damn it." Bosco said, as he put his hand through the window. He didn't care that he could get hurt all he cares about was getting to Faith.

He then put his hand in the window and unlocked the door. As the door swing open, he saw Faith tie up in the back. He sighed, as he saw the state she was in, he couldn't believe what she has been through, but she was safe now.

He gently grabbed a hold of her. She tried talking through the duct tape. Bosco took the blindfold off her and then he gently took the duct tape off her mouth.

"Boz."

"Shh, Faith, everything will be okay now."

She looked at him. "You're not here,

"Faith, I'm here." he said, as he gently touched her face. "Everything's going to be okay, you're fine." he said, as a tear come down his cheek, but for the first time since this happened, it was for a happy reason.

"Bosco..." he heard someone calling his name. He turned and saw Jeff.

"I found her, and I found Greg, he's right there." Bosco said, pointing to the spot where he left Greg on the ground.

Jeff came bounding down the hill, stopping just short of the car. "Greg's not there."

"He has to be."

"No, Bosco, he's not there. " Jeff said.

Bosco looked at Jeff. "Well go find him, and can we use your jacket; I need to place her on the ground."

Jeff took off his jacket and placed it on the ground. Bosco then place Faith on the ground. He walked up to Jeff. "You find him."

"No… don't leave me, Bosco." Faith yelled.

Bosco run to her side. "I won't leave you." Bosco said. He then kneels down next to her and gently unties her hands from the duct tape and rope.

"We need to get out of here, before he finds us."

"Shh… Faith, it's going to be okay. Nothing's going to happen to you now." he said, as he moved to her feet and unties them as well.

She then looked at him. "You're bleeding. He hurt you because of me, didn't he?" Faith said, as she started to shake. "You're hurt because of me."

"Shh… Faith. He didn't hurt me. Just calm down," he said, as he touched her face. "I'm fine."

Jeff then walked up to Bosco. "I need to talk to you."

Bosco was about to sat up when Faith looked at him. "Don't go," she said, with this afraid look on her face. He has never seen her look that way before. He then grabbed her hand. "I'm not going anywhere."

"You disappeared before… you weren't real."

Bosco looked at Jeff. "I can't deal with it now. Are the paramedics here yet?"

Faith looked up at Bosco and turned to Jeff. "You're here too."

Jeff kneeled down next to Faith. "Didn't you think I was going to find you?"

Faith then started to close her eyes. "I'm tired."

"Faith, don't close them" Bosco said, as he held her in his arms.

She looked at him. "You saved me… I..." but before she could say anything else, she collapsed in his arms.

"Faith, wake up now. Don't do this." Bosco yelled. "I just found you; I don't want to lose you."

Jeff then saw the ambulance showing up. "I'll help them," he said, as he looked at Bosco.

"She's going to be okay,"

Bosco touched Faith's face. "She has to be."

A few minutes later, the paramedics come down, and walked over to Faith.

"What do we have here?"

"30 year old female…has been in a car accident."

"She collapsed in my arms a few minutes ago. She was alert when I was talking to her."

"Is there anything I need to know?"

"She's been held hostage for the past few days, I don't know what drugs he uses, but you have to help her." Bosco explained.

"We will, sir, "the paramedic said. " But you are going to need to let us take her." Bosco let go of Faith and let the paramedic do their work.

He then watches them take onto the gurney and up the hill. Bosco looked at the car, and smiled. "The whole ordeal is over now." he said, as he walked up the hill.

When he got on the road, he saw Sully, Ty and Lieu standing there. Lieu walked up to Bosco. "I can't believe that she's alive."

"We're sorry that we didn't believe you." Sully said.

Bosco looked at them. "I don't care right now; I just need to see her."

"She's in the ambulance right now, they're going to take her to the hospital in a few minutes, said a voice.

Bosco turned around and saw Jeff standing in front of him. "Thanks Jeff."

Jeff then looked at Bosco. "I look everywhere for Greg I don't know where he is."

"There is no way that he could have got away that fast." Bosco replied.

"Well he did, but I'm going to find him, I promise you."

The paramedics then walked up to Bosco. "Are you coming?" he asked.

Bosco nodded. "I'm going. He then turned to Jeff. "Do whatever you can do and find that son of a bitch that hurt Faith."

"I will, Bosco."

Ty, Sully and Lieu looked at Bosco. "We'll meet you at the hospital."

Bosco nodded, as he got into the ambulance and grabbed Faith's hand. "Everything's going to be okay now, you're safe," he said, as the paramedic closed the door, got into the front and drove off.

Rose walked into the hospital and walked up to the admitting desk. "Has Faith Mitchell been admitted yet?"

"No, she hasn't." Sasha said, as she walked up to Rose.

Rose looked at Sasha. "You're Sasha Monroe."

Sasha nodded. "And this is my friend Lynn." Rose shakes Lynn's hand. "Nice to meet you."

"I still can't believe that Faith is alive that my son was right all along."

Sasha smiled. "It is hard to believe." Sasha still couldn't believe that Faith was alive, that Bosco was right along, while everybody just thought that he couldn't deal with Faith's death. Who would have known that he was right? Sasha then saw Faith coming through the ER doors with Bosco right behind. She could hear Bosco being Bosco and telling the paramedics off for being too slow.

Rose run towards Bosco and put her arms around him. "Maurice." she said, as she touched his face. "You were right."

"What are you doing here?"

"Your old boss called me and told me everything."

Bosco smiled at Rose. "I told you that she was alive."

"I know you did, son. I'm sorry I didn't believe you." Bosco runs to the doctors, as they were wheeling Faith into the trauma room. "You can't come in; I'll come out when we are finished with her." the doctor said.

"I want to be with her."

The doctor then looked at Bosco's hand. "Maybe you should get yourself fix up first." he said, as he walked into the room.

Rose looked down at Bosco. "What happened to you?"

"I had to save her."

"Oh Maurice. It's not going to do her any good if you are hurt"

"Fine," Bosco said, as he walked up to one of the nurses and said about his hand. Rose looked at Bosco as he walked away. She didn't know what she would do if anything happened to Maurice he's all that she has left.
Sully and Ty walked into the hospital. Sully turned to Ty. "Who would have thought that Bosco was right?"

"I guess sometime he can be," Ty said, with a laugh, as they entered the ER, and he saw Sasha and Lynn waiting in the waiting area.

"Has she come in yet?" Ty asked. Sasha shook her head. "The doctors are with her right now."

"Where's Bosco?" Sully asked.

"I think he is in with a doctor as well. " Sasha said. "Something to do with his hand, I think."

Sasha then looked at Ty. "I'm going to go and get something to eat, it might be a while before we hear any news, do you want to come?"

"Sure," Ty said. He then turned to Sully. "Call me on my cell when you hear news, we're just be in the cafeteria" Ty said, as he and Sasha walked away.

Sully sat down next to Lynn. She grabbed his hand. "You're okay, Sully?"

He looked at her. "I just can't believe that Bosco was right and she was alive, and I thought she wasn't. If he had listened to me. We might have never found her."

"Sully, that's not your fault. Everybody thought she was dead, that is what he wanted us to think, but she is safe now. So that is all that matters."

Sully put his arms around Lynn. "I'm so lucky to have you."

"I'm the lucky one."

Sully then turned to Lynn. "I'm thinking about a lot of things since Faith's kidnapping, and I realize that I don't want to go back to the lake, I want to stay here. The only thing is that I want to be with you and your home is on the lake."

"No Sully, my home is with you. I love you, Sully, I have since the first time I meet you, so wherever you go, I will too. That's if you want me."

Sully smiled, as he leaned over and kissed her. "I love you, Lynn, of course I want you."

"Does that mean we are moving in together?" Lynn asked with a smile.

"I guess we are." Sully said, smiling. For the first time in years he was finally happy again, the last time he felt this way was when he was Tatiana, and he knew how that turned out. But he knows with Lynn it would be different.

She grabbed her hand gently. "I know you are worried about your friend, but she'll be okay."

Sully smiled." I hope so."

Lynn smiled. "I can't wait to finally meet her. I've heard so much about her."

"You are going to love her." Sully said with a smile. Sully then saw Bosco coming towards them.

"Has the doctor come out yet?" Bosco asked.

Sully shakes his head. "Not yet. How's your hand?"

"It's nothing." Bosco said, as he walked up to the room where Faith was. "What's taking the doctors so long?"

"They are probably just making sure that everything's okay. They will come out as soon as they can."

Lynn walked up to them. "I'm happy that your friend is ok."

Bosco nodded, as the doctor come out. "How is she?" .

The doctor looked at Bosco. "She is doing pretty well, considering what she has been through. I think she wasn't badly hurt in the accident because of the duct tape she had on. But I need to do a MRI and tox-screen to check to see what drugs are in her system."

"Why an MRI?" Bosco asked.

"Because of the accident, we need to make sure that there was no head trauma."

"So why did she collapse?" Bosco asked.

"It could be many things, exhaustion, the accident. That's why we need to do a MRI."

"Well go do it, why are you still standing here?"

The doctor just smiled at Bosco, and walked back into the room, and wheeled Faith out. Bosco run towards her, and grabbed her hand. "Everything's going to be okay, I'll be here when you get back. I'm not leaving." Bosco said, as a tear fall down his cheek.

Sully touched Bosco's shoulder. "Let go of her hand, so they can take her."

Bosco let go of Faith's hand, and watched as they took her away.

Sully turned to Bosco, and put his arms around Bosco. "You really love her."

"Of course I do, she's my partner."

"She hasn't been your partners for years." Sully said. "This is more than partner love."

Bosco just walked away from Sully, and sat in the waiting area. Rose then come up to Bosco, and sat down next to him. "How's Faith?"

"They took her to have some tests." Bosco said, as he looked at Rose. "What if they find something wrong with her? What if I didn't save her in time?"

"Stop worrying about these things, Maurice. You saved her, and she's going to be okay." Rose said, as she grabbed his hand. "How's your hand?"

"It's fine."

Rose grinned slightly. "You never like to admit when you are hurt."

"I told you it's nothing. Nothing compared to what Faith has been through. Do you know what it was like when I first saw her?"

"I can only imagine, Maurice, but she's safe now, don't think about it."

"Don't think about it. I'm going to find that bastard and make him hurt like he hurt Faith."

"Just don't do anything stupid. I don't want to lose you, Maurice." Rose said, as she hugged Bosco.

"I promise, Ma." Bosco said as he walked towards the waiting area and sat down, Rose followed him. "She's going to be okay," Rose replied.

"I know she will."

Half an hour, Bosco saw the doctor wheeling Faith back into the room, so he run towards the room and walked inside.

"What did the test say?"

"We won't know for a while, but there is a rush on it." the doctor said.

Bosco then looked at the doctor. "Is she awake yet?"

"She woke up, she just a while ago."

"Can I stay with her?" Bosco asked.

"Sure," the doctor said, as he left the room.

Bosco nodded, as he sat down next to her. "Faith, it's me Bosco."

She looked up at him with this look on her face, she grabbed his hand. "You're real?"

"Yes, Faith. I'm real." he said, as he grabbed her hand, and put it against her face. "See."

"No… you weren't looking for me. Nobody was. You're all thought I was dead. I'm alone." Faith said, as she started to shake.

"Faith, you aren't alone, I'm here." he said, as he grabbed her hand. "Always."

A while later,

The doctor came into the room. "I've got the tests back." Faith was sleeping, so Bosco walked over to the doctor. "So what did they say?"

"Her MRI comes back normal, and the tox-screen show that she had drugs in her system."

"We already figure that out. Are the drugs in her system going to do any harm?"

"He used a tranquilizer is called Thorazine which calms the nervous system, putting the user into a peaceful sleep. There isn't major effect from it, but anytime someone is given drugs, you don't know."

"Thanks doctor." Bosco said, as he looked at Faith sleeping peacefully. She looked so peaceful, like she hasn't been through anything.

"I'll come by and see her later." the doctor said, as he left the room.

Bosco sat down next to Faith. "See everything's going to be okay." He said, as he grabbed her hand. She looked at him. "You're still here… it wasn't a dream." she said, as she looked around the room. She was afraid that she dreamt Bosco saving her that she was still with Greg.

"No, Faith, it wasn't a dream." he said.

She looked at her. "I was so afraid… that you weren't here, that I was hallucinating you again."

"I'm here, I'll never leave you." he said, as he touched her face. There was a knock on the door. Bosco turned around, and saw Ty, Sully, Lynn, Lieu and Sasha and Finney, who had just arrived at the hospital.

Bosco saw Jeff standing outside of the door. "I'll leave you alone." Bosco replied, as he started to walk away. Faith glanced at Bosco

"Thank you."

"For what?" Bosco asked.

"For saving me." Faith said.

"You know that I would always do that." Bosco said. S

he smiled slightly. "It's not like we talk anymore, you didn't have to."

Bosco leaned over, pulling Faith gently into his arms. "You should know that I could never forget about you." he said, as he walked out of the room.

Jeff was standing in the hallway, he wanted to go inside to see Faith, but he didn't feel like he deserve to, not when he promise Bosco he would find the bastard that hurt Faith, but he couldn't do that. He didn't deserve to see Faith.

"Jeff."

Jeff turned around. "I was going to come in, but I didn't think I should."

Bosco looked at Jeff. "You are part of her life, just as much as I am. I couldn't have done it without you."

Jeff looked down on the floor; he couldn't even look at Bosco face to face.

"Jeff, what's wrong?" Bosco asked.

Jeff looked up at Bosco. "I couldn't find Greg, I promise you, but I didn't."

"Jeff, we'll find him, don't worry. That bastard not going to win." Bosco said, as he put his hand on Jeff's shoulder.

"You should go and see Faith. I know she would really love to see you."

Jeff nodded. "You know I think I can see why Faith put up with you all those years. You're not a bad guy."

"Well don't let anybody know that." Bosco said with a grin as he walked away.

Meanwhile,

Greg was sitting in Shawn's stairs to his house. He needed medical attention; there was no way he could go to the hospital.

He then saw Shawn coming towards up to the house. "What are you doing here, Greg?" Shawn asked.

"I need your help." Greg said.

Shawn shakes his head. "I can't help you with drugs anymore, Greg, I've been fired."

"What are you talking about?" Greg asked.

"Well Faith's friend comes looking for me for help to find her, and I told them about the cottage, because I know you were gone. Then the cocky police officer knew that told the drugs even though I didn't say anything, so I guess he told the nurse, and she told my boss and he went through my locker. He found drugs in my locker."

"What the hell were you doing with drugs in your locker?"

"You told me that you were going to need some drugs soon, so I just got them earlier than expected."

"Damn it, Shawn." Shawn then looked at Greg. "Why are you here?"

"Something happened. Faith's gone."

"What are you talking about? I thought you liked her, why would you kill her?"

"I never said that I kill her. Our car went over a hill and when I woke up, I was on the ground, I saw her friend getting her out of the car, I knew that I couldn't get caught, so I had to leave without my Faith. But I'm going to be with her again, I love her too much to lose her."

Shawn then looked at Greg's hand. "Come in and clean you up," Shawn said, as he and Greg walked into the house.

Faith looked at everybody talking to her, she never realize how many people still care about her, even Finney was here, and she didn't really know him that much.

Swersky looked at Faith. "I'm so happy that you are okay." he said, as he hugged her. Faith looked at Swersky. "You mean you were looking for me?"

"We all were, Faith. " Ty replied.

"But there was one person that wouldn't give up on you," Jeff said, as he walked into the room.

Faith looked up at Jeff and smiled slightly. "Are you talking about Bosco?

Jeff nodded, as he sat down next to Faith. "He wouldn't give up on you even when we got evidence that you were dead."

Ty smiled at Faith. "He always believed that you were alive, he felt it. I guess we should have believed him. But we didn't."

"It's not your fault." Faith said, as she touched her arm, sighing. Lieu looked at Faith with this afraid look on his face.

"Do you need a doctor?" he asked. Faith shakes her head. "No, I'm fine. I just realize now what he did to make you all think I was dead."

"You don't need to think about that right now, Faith." Lieu responded. "Just get some rest." Lieu said, as he hugged her again. "I'll come by and see you later."

Faith smiled. "Thanks for coming by, all of you. It really means a lot. Even you Finney, thank you."

They all nodded.

"Did you really think we wouldn't come by and see you?" Lieu said. " We have all missed you."

" How about we all leave, so you can have some time to talk with Jeff, as he come by to see you and he hasn't been able to talk to you." he said, as he hugged Faith. "I'm just so happy that you are here. You don't realize how important you are to us all."

"I didn't know that either," Faith said, as she smiled slightly at Ty. Ty hugged Faith again. "I'll see you later."

Lieu looked at Faith. "We all worried about you. Don't ever make me feel like that again, Faith."

"Okay, boss." Faith said, with a grin.

"I'm not your boss anymore." Lieu said.

"You'll always be my boss."

Lieu smiled, as Ty, Sasha and Lieu waved goodbye to Faith and left the room.

Faith looked at Jeff, as he sat down." You were there right I didn't dream that?"

Jeff smiled slightly. "Yes, Faith, I was there."

"Thank you for helping Bosco find me." Faith said. "I still can't believe that you two found me, I thought that."

"Faith, you don't need to talk about this right now."

"You are starting to sound like Bosco; you must have been around him too much." Faith said with a slight laugh.

"You don't realize how much Bosco was worried about you. You and him aren't together are you, and you didn't tell me?"

Faith shakes her head. "Of course not."

"Well the way that Bosco acted, it was like you were his girlfriend. He loves you."

Faith smiled. "We were partners for 13 years that is probably what you saw; I would do the same thing for him."

"Isn't this the same guy that jumped in front of four bullets for you, I think there is something going on, that you don't know."

"Jeff, you don't know Bosco as well as I do, there is no way that he love me like that." Faith said, as she started to yawn.

"I'll leave you to get some sleep." Jeff said. Faith looked at Jeff. "Thanks for everything; I know that it must not have been fun working with Bosco."

"Actually I can see why you and him got on as partners, he wasn't that bad to work with," Jeff said with a smile. "I'll come by and see you tomorrow." he said, as he waved goodbye to her and left the room.

A while later,

Bosco walked into her room, and saw that Faith was tossing and turning in her bed. "No... Greg… don't."

Bosco run up to her. "Faith, it's just a nightmare," he said, as he grabbed her hand.

She let go of his hand. "I don't want to go with you."

"Faith… it's me, Boz, wake up."

She suddenly woke up in a sweat. She looked at Bosco. "He was coming after me again."

Bosco put his arms around Faith. "Shh, Faith, it was just a nightmare," he said, as he stroke her hair. "He can't get to you. Try and get some rest."

She looked at him. "I don't want to close my eyes."

Bosco grabbed her hand. "I know you are scared, but I won't let anything happen to you, I promise you. Remember I'll always be there for you."

"You remember that day." Faith said, looking directly at him. "I remember every day that I was your partner, the good and the bad." He said with a smile.

"I never knew," she said.

Faith slowly started closing her eyes, letting out a small sigh. "Boz? Could you-"

"Stay?" He finished, sending her a small smile.

"How did you know that I was gonna say?"

"I've been your partner for 13 years, Faith." Bosco said softly, gently taking her in his and tracing small circles across her skin with his hand. "I got good at knowing what your gonna say before you say it."

"I'm surprised that you haven't forgotten stuff like that."

"I could never forget that stuff, Faith." Bosco replied, still holding her hand. "That's not stuff that you forget."

"Boz-"

"Just close your eyes." His voice was soft. "I'll be here when you wake up."

She opened her eyes, giving him a small smile. "Thanks, Boz."

"No thank you's needed." He whispered. "Just sleep."

She closed her eyes again, letting out another sigh as she squeezed her partner's hand gently

Bosco watched as she falls asleep, he hopes that she will be able to sleep without any more nightmares. As he was holding her hand, he saw the marks where she had be tied up, he sighed as he thought about what she had been through. When he finds that bastard again, he is going to make him pay for ever hurting Faith.

He wasn't able to help Faith through the deaths of Emily and Charlie, but he for sure was going to be there for her now, he wasn't going to let her do it on her own.

All those years ago, he told her that he would always be there for her, and that hasn't changed.
