Ch 5
"Hey Faith." Bobby shouted across the street when he saw the cop he was looking for.
Faith Yokas looked up from her newspaper and smiled at the approaching paramedic. "Hi Bobby. What's up?"
"I need a favor."
"Okay." Faith nodded. She liked the good-natured medic and knew from gossip that he and Jimmy were worried sick about Kim and Joey. "What is it?"
"Can you do a trace for me?" He held up a piece of paper. "I have a phone number but I don't know where the area code is to and I could use an address as well."
"I'll see what I can do." Faith promised taking the piece of paper and looking at it. "Say, Bobby, just out of idle curiosity, this wouldn't be a clue to a certain paramedic that went AWOL a few weeks ago would it?"
"It might. I found it in her sister's address book under the initials K.Z."
"You're smart, I'll give you that. I wonder if Jimmy's thought of going through her sister's things."
"It was an accident."
"Uh-huh. Check back with me at the end of the shift." Faith smiled. "Ready Bos?"
"Let's go." He said before he nodded at Bobby as a way of greeting him.
"Bobby." Alex called from across the street. "We got a call. C'mon."
"Coming. See ya later Faith. Thanks." Bobby headed back across the street.
"No problem." Faith said as she got into the car.
"Thanks for what?" Bosco asked.
"Oh I said I'd do a trace on some phone number. He's looking for his brother and this was his first clue." Faith said. She didn't want word to get back to Jimmy about what Bobby had found unless Bobby was the one to say something.
"Oh. Any word on Kim?"
"Not yet as far as I know."
Bosco nodded and started the car.

Jimmy sunk another basket. The guys were upstairs watching a game but Jimmy just couldn't get into it. He couldn't get into anything lately. He went to sleep praying that the next day Kim would call and tell him where they were. But as the days went on the more futile that prayer seemed to him.
And then there was the gossip flying around the house. Of course he didn't know if it could be considered gossip seeing as how it was true that he had screwed Linda, his friend's girlfriend, on a bathroom counter at his engagement party on the night before he married Brooke.
"You're a screw-up Jimmy and now I have to find a way to protect my son from your endless crap."
He closed his eyes as Kim's voice echoed through his head. Well she'd certainly found a way hadn't she?

"Hey did you two hear what happened?" Carlos asked of Bobby and Alex as they met up outside a diner for their dinner break.
"No. What happened?" Alex asked.
"Lombardo wailed on Jimmy tonight. Linda told him about her and Jimmy doing it that night in the bathroom."
"Get out." Bobby stared. "How's Jimmy look?"
"Bad." Doc answered. "Really bad."
"Man." Alex shook her head. "I guess now Brooke's the only one that doesn't know."
"Wouldn't be to sure about that." Doc said. "I think Jimmy went home to come clean."
"Really?" Bobby shook his head. "Maybe he really loves her."
"No." Doc shook his head. "Men in love don't screw around with their friend's girl on a bathroom counter."
Bobby nodded and everyone else just digested Doc's words in silence before an approaching Bosco broke the silence.
"Hey guys. Hungry?"
"Absolutely." Alex nodded and opened the door to the diner.
"Oh hey Bobby, Faith went home for dinner. She said to give you this." Bosco dug a piece of paper out and gave it to him. "It's the information about your brother that you wanted."
"Huh? Oh, right. Thanks." He unfolded it and read it silently. "Tell her thank you. I might not be at work tomorrow to tell her."
"Yeah, no problem." Bosco went in, leaving Bobby alone on the sidewalk.
"Ohio, huh? Hope you're prepared for a houseguest Kim." Bobby said softly to himself before he joined the others inside.
