This Fiction deals with what the 55 would be like if Alex Taylor and Lieutenant Johnson had never died. So, PLEASE Read & Review and let me know how the Story is. Thank You.
Thanks:
Detective Faith Boscorelli - Thanks for the Loving Review! I hope this chapter keeps you reading.
bubbly-nutty-jules - Thanks for the compliment about my story. I hope this chapter keeps you as intrigued as you are now.
Lil Bryce - I know it was mentioned that Walsh had a wife, but out of all the episodes he has been in, and the fact it was mentioned a total of 1 time, I just dismissed it. Plus, in the Episode, Honors, Walsh sarcastically asked Alex to marry him, and called her his wife, so, I kinda went with that more than then Bobby saying he had a wife. I hope, even though that was in an episode, you enjoy this fiction. I hate the fact they killed off Alex too, but, you give the actress what they want. I just hope she lives on through the fictions, that are rarely written about her or Walsh. Thanks for the great review and I hope you keep reading!
loveswalsh - Thank you! I can't wait either since I am writing this chapter by chapter. Hope you keep reading!
Unbroken - Thanks for the great review. Alex is one of my Fav's too. Unfortunately, they didn't kill off or remove anyone that didn't want to be removed, they all asked to leave, leaving us all hanging, but Eh, what can you do? Hopefully they will get some GOOD Firefighter SL's going. Thanks, keep reading!


Notes: In this fiction, Lombardo is still in the 55, and still an active character. Also, the name Walsh, has been changed to Billy, so there is no confusion in case no one knew.

Alex walked into the firehouse, followed by Billy, both carrying bags with their clothes. Billy slid by Alex, brushing her and she smirked, shaking her head. Johnson, Doherty, Lombardo, DK & Roberts were sitting at the table, looking at them. DK tried not to smile as Alex walked by him and flicked his ear. DK held his ear and mocked hurt, with a sly smile.

"Shush, us together is old news. It's been a month, find a new rumor." She went upstairs, a few minutes after Billy did and went to her bunk. Billy had already changed and was putting his things in his locker. She watched him, smiling, then went to changing her own clothes.

"So, did they say anything to you?" Billy leaned against the wall as she put on her FDNY shirt. Alex looked up as she buttoned it over her halter top and shook her head. She started tucking it into her pants as she smiled.

"No, they kinda smiled at me like they knew everything we did without having to be told. I got DK though." She buttoned her pants as Billy laughed and nodded. He stood up to his full height as Alex sat down, putting her shoes on.

"Well, I'll see you downstairs. Probably going to get a speech about how we can't do anything affectionate or personal on the job. Jimmy and Kim got the same speech when they started dating." He rolled his eyes as Alex looked up at him, standing up. She shrugged and covered her mouth as she coughed.

"Let Johnson speech us. I don't exactly plan on flaunting our relationship in front of them. I don't want to give those children anymore ammunition than they already might have." She smiled to him as she started walking towards the stairs.

"Coming?" He looked at her from the stairwell and she nodded.

"I'll be there in a few, I wanna clean out my locker. I haven't done it in quite a while." Billy nodded and went down, his steps fading as she turned and started pulling things out of her locker, tossing things in various directions in her area.

"So.. How are you two doing?" Doherty looked at Billy as he came down. Billy rolled his eyes and moved to the board, checking to see who's day it was. Kim walked in, in street clothes and looked at everyone.

"Are we talking about Billy and Alex's love life again?" Billy turned and looked at Kim, rather oddly, as she said that.

"How often do we talk about my, her or our love life?" He looked to each of the guys as Roberts put a paper up, blocking his face. DK started shuffling and tossing the cards to Lombardo, Doherty and Johnson. Johnson then stood up and looked at everyone.

"That's enough! Doherty, Roberts, Lombardo & DK. GO Clean the truck! Walsh. You have dinner duty, I recommend you figure out what your going to cook. You may need to go to the market, so you may. But take a Radio." Johnson went into his office as everyone grumbled, going where they were assigned. Billy just sighed and looked to see what they had to make.

5:30 PM July 4, 2003

Billy pulled up from a trip to the market and got out, seeing the guys drying off the truck. He smiled to them as he carried 2 bags and went up the stairs, putting them on the table. He looked around at the quiet and breathed deeply as if enjoying it. He unpacked the bags and Johnson came out.

"What did you buy?" Johnson looked at the items and wondered what he planned on making. Billy put some things in the fridge and left some out. He didn't look at Johnson as he started preparing dinner.

"I plan on making Pesto Chicken." Johnson looked at him as if impressed. Johnson then looked around, curiously.

"Did you take Taylor with you?" Johnson moved closer to him. If he had taken Taylor with him, Johnson would have to give him the speech.

"No. I haven't seen her since she started cleaning out her locker at the beginning of the shift." Billy looked at him oddly.

"Oh. No one has seen her. She didn't come see me to do anything, and the guys have been downstairs. Her usual spots are at the kitchen counter or the gym. She isn't at either one. Probably napping." He shrugged as Billy got a worried look on his face. He shrugged it off as Kim came upstairs, to get something she forgot when she left. Billy looked at her.

"Did Alex go with you? Have you seen her?" Kim looked at him as if he had 2 heads as she opened her locker and got her purse.

"No. Her locker was open upstairs, but when I looked around, she wasn't there." Kim shut her locker and walked to the stairs, stopping and looking back. Billy now defiantly looked worried. He put the cheese he bought down and went up the stairs. Kim followed, curiously.

"Alex?" Billy looked around. Alex's locker was now closed, and her bed was set. He looked around, wondering how she could have gotten away with no one seeing or hearing. He moved to the bathroom and knocked. Kim noticed it was the girls room. She touched Billy's arm.

"Let me go in. If she is in there, you don't want to embarrass or piss her off." Kim knocked and shrugged. She opened the door and let out a cry. Billy turned back towards the bathroom as Kim knelt by Alex. Billy's eyes widened as Kim looked up at him.

"Get Johnson and Carlos! Tell Carlos to bring the bags! Quick!" Kim looked at Alex in utter shock. Alex was on the floor, in a small pool of blood coming from her head. She rolled Alex onto her back, keeping her head supported. Alex's face was a bloody mess and her work shirt was caked in blood. Billy ran back up with Carlos and Johnson, as well as the rest of squad. Johnson looked around, wondering how this happened. Carlos moved Alex out of the bathroom as Johnson sent DK across the street. Kim put a collar around Alex's neck as Carlos put gauze behind her head. Her slightly swollen eyes opened slightly as she moaned in pain. Kim looked down at her, shining a light into her eyes.

"Alex, can you hear me?" Alex coughed, blood coming from her mouth. Kim suctioned the blood out of her mouth. Alex coughed and gasped. She mouth something, but couldn't talk.

"What is it Alex?" Kim leaned down and tried to hear her and finally she did. She looked up at the group of firefighters and frowned. DK came up with Davis and Sully. Davis paused and looked at Alex. Sully looked and blinked a few times. Kim looked at the cops.

"Who did this to her?" Johnson looked at Kim, knowing Alex may have told her. Kim looked down at Alex, as Alex coughed again. Carlos cut her shirt open and poked at her stomach. Kim suctioned more blood, ignoring Johnson's question for the moment. Alex's eyes were black and blue and her light blue eyes seemed rather dull as she coughed again. Carlos looked up at Kim.

"Stomach is soft and non-tender." Kim nodded and kept suctioning blood.

"She bit through her tongue. Possible Concussion. We gotta move her." Kim moved Alex as Carlos put the board under her. They strapped her in and lifted her up. DK moved behind Billy who looked pained. Johnson looked at Billy and nodded. Billy followed Kim and Carlos. Sully and Davis looked at the scene and called for a Detective. They then went to follow the Bus, to see what Kim knew about what happened. Kim looked back as they started to leave, staring at Johnson. She looked down for a moment, then looked at Davis.

"She said 'Gamble'."
