Chapter 2:
When Bosco opened his eyes, he found himself in a basement of some kind. There were brick walls around him and a staircase going up to the next floor. There was a light in the middle of the room, it was dim but he could still see his surroundings. He moved to get up but his right arm wouldnt get up with him so he fell backwards.
What the.. he looked down at his arm to see it was handcuffed to a pipe that was lining the bottom of the room.
Just then the door at the top of the stairs opened and a man started walking down to him. When he was five feet away from Bosco, he pulled out a knife. He put it to Boscos throat.
Do you think someone is coming to get you? the man asked. Bosco was caught off guard by this question so he didnt say any thing and just gave the man a confused look.
Your cop friends, they will come, they will search, they will find you. The man said.
Who are you? asked Bosco, who was more than a little perplexed by the situation.
Youve heard of the Scorpius gang have you not? Bosco nodded. Well, weve changed our ways, we no longer just kill cops, oh no he said as he paced around the room.
We like to get them all together maybe kill them one by one. Said the man with an evil grin on his face. By the way m names Justin, whats yours? Bosco just glared at him not intending on answering the question. Justin walked up to Bosco, close enough for Bosco to smell his rancid breath.
Answer the question Justin said. Bosco was silent. Suddenly Justin growled and kicked Bosco in the side.
Bosco couldnt breathe all he felt was pain. He looked up at the man who had just kicked him. Justin just stood there, waiting for his answer.
Boscorelli said Bosco, not wanting to get kicked again.
Okay Mr. Boscorelli, I thank you for your co-operation youll be seeing your friends soon. Justin said and then stalked off up the stairs.

Faith couldnt stop crying. The fire had been yesterday, the accident that had killed her partner. She sat in the locker room, she had arrived early and got ready, now she just waited for role call. She was going to be paired up with Davis today, because Sully had paperwork to do for a couple more days and she would be with Davis until they found a permanent replacement for Bosco.
Davis walked into the locker room, he saw Faith sitting there and had a flash of anger. How could people be so cruel, they ended Boscos life and now they were destroying Faiths. He sat down on the bench beside her. Her tears had stopped now and she was just sitting silently looking at her hands.
I miss him Davis, she whispered.
I know was all he said, because he knew there was nothing more to say.

When roll call started. Christopher had warned them yet again of the Scorpius gang, and then much to Faiths surprise Christopher told them all how Bosco would be missed and how he was a great cop. She smiled at this.
Faith and Davis had many calls that day, a domestic disturbance, two reports of kids terrorizing neighbor hoods by throwing eggs and drawing graphity on the buildings, and an attempted suicide. For the past half an hour there were no calls.
Central to 55-David the radio called.
David here said Davis into the radio from the passenger side.
55-David we have a report of possible drug dealer in an alley on 16th please proceed to that location
Roger, central
When they arrived at the alley there was no one in sight, Faith was just about to ask central if they were sure of the location when both of them were grabbed from behind and Chloroform cloths were placed over their mouths and noses and they fell unconscious.
