A/N: Well, here is the next chaper. I'm sorry that it's so short. I really wanted to get to what happened to Faith in this chapter, but a long day of work with a horrible flu bug has gotten the better of me. The next chapter will be longer, and will get to what happened, promise! Thanks to everyone for reading and reviewing. I'm glad that you all like it, so far. Thanks again everybody!
A strange, calm silence once again filled the hospital room. Fred and the kids had stayed at the hospital with Faith for several hours, before Fred finally told them that it was time to go home. He had promised to bring the kids by again to see their mother that night. Now, it was just Bosco and Faith again.
"You okay?" he asked her softly, as she shared at the door that he family had just walked through only minutes before. When Faith didn't answer, Bosco asked again. "Faith... hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, i'm alright," she said with a fake smile.
Bosco knew that she wasn't really alright, but he didn't know what else to say to her. He had never been too good with words. "Can I get you anything?" he asked.
"Yeah, you can get me out of here," Faith said with a laugh, trying to lighten the mood a little.
"The doctor says you'll be able to leave in a few days, if everything goes well," Bosco told her.
Faith just layed there, thinking. She was going to be able to leave the hospital shortly, that was good, but where was she going to go? She really didn't know, since she no longer had an apartment to go to. Then, she looked over at Bosco. He looked so tired. She wondered if he had been sleeping at all.
"You can go home now, Boz," Faith said, breaking the silence. "You don't have to stay here with me, i'll be alright,"
"I know I don't have to be here, Faith... but I want to be here," Bosco told her softly.
"Really Bosco, i'm fine," she told him. "You should go home, and get some rest,"
"I'm fine, and i'm not going anywhere," he said.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Bosco opened the door, and there stood a couple of detectives. Bosco knew very well what they wanted, but he still wasn't sure that it was the right time to talk to Faith about what had happened. It seemed too soon to him.
"Hi there, i'm Detective Masterson, and this is Detective Mason," the detective introduced himself. "We're here to speak with Detective Faith Yokas, is it alright if we come in?"
"Uh yeah, sure... come on in," Bosco told them.
The detectives walked over to Faith's beside. "Hi there, if you don't mind we need to ask you some questions about what happened," Detective Masterson said.
Faith just nodded. "I knew you'd be coming," she said, in a voice so low that it was almost a whisper.
Bosco sat down on the bed beside Faith. "Are you sure you're feeling up to this?" he asked her, softly.
"Yeah, now's as good a time as any,"
"Alright Detective Yokas, could you please start at the begining?" asked Detective Masterson. "What happened on the night that you vanished?"
