Broken Wing
Chapter 1
Disclaimer, I don't own a thing, but wouldn't it be nice if I did? :)
Authors note: Well since Shattered is winding down....well I'm pretty sure it is :) Here is a new one, I don't know if you will like it. It may be a bit to far fetched or dark for some and if it is that's fine, Let me know what you think. I'm trying to get it as accurate as possible but I haven't had experience in this area (well in a round about way but that's a whole other story LOL) So I'm doing some research but if I get something wrong don't be afraid to let me know.
A BIG thanks to Erica for reassuring me that this story doesn't completely suck...lets hope she's right :) and for being my sounding board :) Also thanks to Andorian Ice Princess for giving me the courage to follow my own advice :)
Feedback, Yes please let me know if you like it or not and if I should keep going or scrap the whole thing.

Here we go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been 4 weeks since she went missing, well 33 days and approximately 3 hours to be exact and still nothing. He was so sure he would find her and bring her back but he couldn't there just wasn't anything to go on. Nobody saw anything, nobody heard anything, she hadn't dropped anything. no ransom notes, nothing. Just nothing. It was like she disappeared into thin air. Every hour that crawled by was another hour she was out there alone needing help and he wasn't there to help her. If only he would have insisted she take a ride home that night but she had wanted to walk because it was such a nice night. He never thought that would be the last time he would see her. She had walked home countless times before, she was a cop, she had a gun. What could happen? Right? But that night something did happen.
He prayed he would find her before it was too late but every hour that passed was one more that who ever took her had to do anything they wanted to her. With no clues or ransom notes maybe it was all ready to late. That is what the oh so helpful detectives warned him about. but he wouldn't believe it, he couldn't believe it. She was out there somewhere and somehow he would find her and bring her back.
~*~*~*~*~
She was walking down a dirty back ally not sure of where she was. Nothing seemed familiar. She tried to figure out where she was but it was hopeless she was just to disoriented to tell. She has been held for so long. With everything that happened she had lost track of the days. She didn't know how long they had her. At the beginning she was sure she would get away or someone would find her, that Bosco would find her....but he didn't. She knew he was trying. Somewhere he was doing everything he could to help her but he just couldn't. She would have done anything to see him walk through those doors into that dark damp room and untie her and get her the hell out of there. But now seeing him was the last thing she wanted. She didn't want him to see her like this, she was ashamed of what happened to her. She was ashamed that she wasn't strong enough to fight them. He would never see her the same way again.
She couldn't go on anymore she needed to rest and then she would figure out where she was and how to get some help. She leaned on to the cold brick wall of a building and slid down pulling up her knees and holding them and rocking herself. She couldn't go on much longer.
~*~*~*~*~
He knew better then to cut through a back ally especially one that looked like this one but he was late and wanted to get home. He was almost all the way through it when he saw a woman sitting by the wall rocking back and forth. She looked awful. Everything in his body told him just to ignore her and walk away. A woman looking like that in an ally like this wasn't good news but something drew him to her so he walked up to her and touched her shoulder. She jumped up.
"Get away from me!" she shouted.
It couldn't be, it just couldn't be. But it was he was standing there seeing it for himself. It was Faith. Maurice's partner and she looked like she went to hell and back a couple of times. He had to get her out of here. He had to get her some help.
"Faith....Faith?" He slowly put our his hand to touch her shoulder again.
She pulled back afraid but as she looked at him more closely she realized she knew that face. She just had to think about it for a second. Then it hit her, it was Mikey.
"Mikey?" She said shakily
"Yeah Faith it's me." He gave her a reassuring smile. "What happened to you? Are you ok?"
Relief washing over her she said, "Mikey you're just the one person I needed to see. You have to help me. Please Mikey. Please." She franticly pleaded. "I need something. anything please you must have something. Please!"
"What?....Faith what are you talking about?" Then he started to pay more attention to her actions and appearance. Aside from cuts and bruises she looked like she hadn't slept in days. Her eyes were watery, she was covered in goose bumps, she was clammy. She was fidgety always moving around, nervous. He saw this before too many times in his line of work. What the hell happened to her? He looked down to her arms that she kept rubbing that's when he saw them, track lines, not nice clean ones either bruised and swollen like someone forced her. What the hell happened to her?....He needed to get her to Maurice's right away.
"Come on Faith let's get out of here ok? I'll get you something but you need to come with me. We can't do this out here okay?"
"Yeah fine whatever just hurry please...please."
He walked her out of the ally and the rest of the way to his apartment which was about a block away. He was trying to decide if he should keep her there or just take her straight to Mo's but he thought it would be better to take her straight to Mo's she would be better off there. So when he got to his apartment building he ran up for his car key's. He grabbed her a swearer and handed it to her when he got back down. After she put it on he placed her in the car.
"Where are we going? Where are you taking me? I thought you were going to help! You said you were going to help!"
She was getting worse her shaking was increasing it must have been a few hours since her last hit. "I'm getting you to help. We'll be there soon."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She sat there rubbing her arms to keep warm. She slightly rocked back and forth, she couldn't keep still. She just wanted this to stop. She didn't want to want another hit but she needed it. It was too much to go without one. If she didn't get one soon she didn't know what she would do. The last time she had one was before they dropped her off. They stuck another needle in her arm and when they were finished they threw her out of the van on to the cold wet pavement. She had gotten up and started walking but didn't recognize anything. She felt ok when they first let her go but as the hours slipped away she needed more. They had gotten her hooked so that she would need a dose every couple of hours or she would just go nuts. Well there plan was working because she was about to go insane if she didn't get anything soon.
She looked out the window,Where the hell was Mikey taking her? Everything looked familiar but she just couldn't place it. Oh well it didn't matter anyway as long as they got there soon. Very soon.
The car finally stopped and he went out to get her door. This wasn't right, there was something about this place that was too familiar but as hard as she tried she couldn't figure it out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He had just finished taking a shower and had just finished putting on a pair of sweats when he heard pounding on his door. It was 1 in the morning who the hell would be knocking on his door at that time of night. Unless..... He ran to the door and opened it.
"Oh my god" A chill ran through him.
Faith looked up to see Bosco standing in front of her. She was so happy to see him a calm shot through her body but then she remembered what she looked like and what she was craving. He couldn't see her like this, he couldn't see her this weak. He couldn't.
She turned around to Mikey and slapped him across the face "You asshole! You said you were getting me help!"
Bosco couldn't believe what he was seeing. She was standing in front of him, she was actually there and she was alive. He had never felt more relieved about anything.
Why didn't she want to see him? Faith was turning to leave and he grabbed her arm to stop her. She tried to pull it back but he didn't let her.
"Let me go now! I want to leave! Let me go!" she shouted still trying to pull her arm away..."Please just let me go...Please." She pleaded.
"Faith....it's me. It's ok Faith...it's ok."
She wanted to believe him. She knew if anyone was going to be able to help her through this it would be him but she couldn't bare for him to see her like this. What would he think of her?
"Faith come in here okay? Please Faith...please." he softly pleaded. Trying not to scare her off.
She felt his grip loosen on her arm. Now was her chance to run but instead she looked into his eyes and knew she was safe here. He would fix this. He'd get her through this.
Bosco let go of her arm and opened the door wider for her and Mikey to come in.
Faith just stood there. Slowly starting to cry. She was finally safe. She was here with Bosco and she was safe. They wouldn't get to her again. But if she was going to stay here and stay safe and try to get over this then she would have to tell him what happened and let him see how weak she was. Loosing Bosco's pride and belief in her was worse then anything they ever did.
Still crying she backed up to the hallway wall behind her and slid down. She pulled her knees up and hid her face she started crying harder. It was too late Bosco had already saw her weak and disgusting. She felt beaten. All that time they had her she fought. She kept her spirits up, well she tried to anyway it had worked for the most part. All the beatings she took, all the junk they pushed in her never broke her, Never made her feel like it was all over. It wasn't until now. It wasn't until she had let Bosco see her like this did she feel broke and beaten.
It was killing him to see her like this. He didn't understand what was going on with her. He didn't know why she wasn't happy about being here. Being away from whatever happened to her. But he did know that she needed him.
She felt warm arms wrap around her.
"Faith it's going to be ok, I promise Faith it's all going to be ok."
