Your thick head doesn't need oxygen

Angel of Mercy

"Have you two finished up yet" Doc asked as he and Carlos were walking back out to there bus.

"Yea, I've just finished the paperwork" Kim said throwing the file on the pile behind the nurse's desk.

"Good, you two head back to the house" Doc said walking through the sliding doors.

"Well you heard the boss let's go" Kim said looking at Bobby. "What's wrong you've been quite since we left the scene?"

"Nothing lets go" Bobby said grabbing his jacket without looking at Kim.

Bobby and Kim walked out to the bus and got in.

"What's wrong now" Kim asked looking at Bobby.

"I said nothing" Bobby replied starting the bus.

"Yea and I know your lying" Kim said still looking at him. "Oh this isn't about Doherty is it?"

"It's your life" Bobby replied off handily.

"Exactly, It's my life" Kim said turning her back to him.

"His engaged Kim"

"You know thank you for telling me Bobby like I wasn't already aware of the fact" Kim said her voice dropping with anger.

The rest of the ride back to the house was silent.

Camelot

"Hey Jimmy look the rescues on the news" DK yelled as Kim and Bobby walked up the stairs.

"Cool" Jimmy said coming to stand in front of the TV with the rest of the fire-fighters. The news report ended with a zoom in on Sully.

Kim and Bobby had stopped to watch the report with everyone else. Kim turned and walked away.

"What don't the cameras have zoom" Jimmy said to his crew who booed at the TV.

Jimmy noticed that Kim had walked away and went to catch up with her.

"I thought I looked good" Jimmy said giving Kim a dimpled smile.

"Oh yea, the father of my child nearly betting him self drowned" Kim said trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach doing kamikaze runs.

"Yea, but do you know what kept me alive" Jimmy asked looking at her.

"Your thick head don't need much oxygen" Kim said turning her back to Jimmy.

Jimmy pulled two tickets out of his pocket and held them in front of Kim's face.

"Springsteen tickets" Kim asked going to the fridge.

"His back with the original wall street band" Jimmy replied.

"I know I read the papers" Kim said looking at Jimmy.

Jimmy pointed one of the tickets at Kim.

"Jimmy your engaged" Kim said looking away from him.

"I know" Jimmy said looking down. "Brooke don't like Springsteen anyway and his music is one of the things we still have in common" Jimmy replied looking anywhere but at Kim.

"I'll think about it" Kim said looking at him.

"Well think fast its Friday" Jimmy said as he turned and walked back to sit with DK and Billy.

15 Minutes later in 55-2

"Jimmy asked me to go to a concert with him" Kim said looking over at Bobby.

"His Engaged" Bobby said looking over at Kim.

"I know it's only a concert" Kim said trying to convince herself.

"Yea and you know you will end up sleeping with him. Then I will have to hear you moan about how much a jerk Doherty is" Bobby said staring at Kim.

"Its not my fault his a Jerk" Kim said defending herself.

"Its your fault that you know his a jerk and you keep sleeping with him" Bobby replied. Kim didn't answer him back she just stared out the window for a couple of minutes.

"So what's going on with you" Kim said looking at him changing the subject.

"Nothing why" Bobby stared at her because of the way she changed the subject.

"Dana came to talk to me" Kim said looking back to the road.

"Stay out of it" Bobby replied putting his eyes back to the road.

"If your going to date the girl date the girl, just don't kind of date the girl" Kim said looking back at Bobby. "I don't know what your problem is she's gorgeous"

"Well I'm interested in someone else" Bobby answered evasively.

"What who" Kim as ked staring at Bobby.

"No one" Bobby said staring at the road as if it was going to come to life.

"Oh my god, its some one I know" Kim said grinning.

"I didn't say that" Bobby said sending a sideways glare at Kim.

"Well if I do, I'd better warn her" Kim said placing her feet on her seat.

"What's that suppose to mean" Bobby said slowing down because they were coming up to traffic lights.

"You are a dating disaster" Kim said looking at him.

"Say's who" Bobby replied glaring at her as they sat in traffic.

"All 58 women I set you up with" Kim said staring back at him. "You wanna know why? You've got a mother complex that's why. You've got a thing with her"

"A thing?" Bobby asked trying to keep his eyes on the road.

"Yea, it's like your dating her or something" Kim said carrying on her rant. Bobby was chuckling at her. "Like that weekend you were meant to take Rachel to the Mets game but you couldn't. Why?

Sending a side ways glance at Kim Bobby replied. "I promised my Mom I'd paint the kitchen"

"Tina wanted to go to Atlantic City? You couldn't why?" Kim said turning in her seat to look right at Bobby.

"Shut up" Bobby said glancing at Kim then back to the road.

"Mommy was getting a couch. She's first, everything else is second. Which is no big deal, a lot of guys put there Moms first. Norman Bates." Kim said staring at him.

Bobby didn't reply he just put his foot down on the pedal and sped up.

The rest of the day past by normally in the rest of the 55 precinct.

Sully and Davis caught the guy who crashed the car into the river, killing the man from their call earlier.

The fire crew were called out to a couple of rescues and a few fires.

Faith and Bosco were driving around doing there thing.

Doc and Carlos had more patients to deal with, and so did Bobby and Kim but they did there job but kept there conversation to a bare minimal.

Punch-out time in Camelot

Jimmy was up in the bunk room he had slipped his t-shirt on when Kim came up the stairs.

"Hey" Jimmy said when he saw her come in.

"Hey" Kim said sitting down on one of the bunks. "You heading home" Kim said turning to look at Jimmy.

"Yea. So about…" Jimmy started to say before Kim cut him off.

"Jimmy I can't go to the concert with you. Sorry." Kim said watching him carefully; she saw his head drop in disappointment.

"Ok, so see you tomorrow" Jimmy said in a low whisper walking out not looking at her.

Kim sat there for 5 minutes before deciding to go and make up with Bobby after all he was one of her two best friends.

Outside

Kim was leaning on Bobby car when he came out. "You're messing my paint job" Bobby said coming up to her.

"I talked to Jimmy; I told him I didn't want to go to the concert. I think he was actually disappointed. But he'll live. Anyway… thanks for your advice" Kim said looking at Bobby.

"See you tomorrow" Bobby said walking past her to his car.

"Look I'm wrong, your right. What else do you want me to do" Kim said turning to look at him.

"I want you to lay off the relationship I have with my mother. Maybe it's a joke to you, but when my dad left, I had to step up, take care of the family. I didn't ask too, I didn't want too. When you've got nine other people in the house, you do what you got to do. And me helping out, me taking care of things doesn't change because my mother gets remarried. And if you knew the first thing about responsibility I wouldn't be standing here in the dark trying to explain it to you" Bobby said finishing he turned to walk away.

"Bobby" Kim called following him. Bobby looked at her. "I've got an ex who maybe comes up with child support if he doesn't gamble it away. I got a 6-year-old and I got a sister who cant hold down a job and who spends ¾'s of her day drowning in alcohol. I think I know a couple of things about responsibility." Kim said breaking down into tears.

"I'll see you tomorrow" Bobby said getting in to his car and driving away.

Kim silently stood there and let the tears fall down her face she gathered her stuff and walked off.

30 minutes later she stopped outside an apartment block. Kim walked up the stairs and pressed the button for number 2 apartment, she waited a minute before someone's voice came over the com link.

It was Jimmy's. "Yeah"

"Its Kim" he buzzed her in.

Kim walked through the gate and went in to his apartment block; by the time she reached his door he had just opened it.

"Hey" Jimmy said groggily standing at his door in a pair of boxers and a t-shirt. "What you doing"

"I was around" Kim said looking him up and down.

"You wanna talk? Get some coffee or something" Jimmy said looking at her in concern.

"I just wanna go to bed" Kim said looking at him then walking past him into his apartment. Jimmy looked up and down the corridor then closed his doors with his eyebrows raised.

'This was going to be fun' Jimmy thought as he turned to look at her.
