Chapter 45-
"Domestic disturbance?" Carlos asked Sully.
"Yeah. Neighbors heard screaming and called 9-1-1. When we got here, we found her like this." Sully nodded to the woman on the floor. "Said she's a cop. Uh, Doc?"
"Yeah?" The medic paused. His partner did the same. "What's up Sully?"
"It's Brooke Carney."
Doc looked at him quizzically for a second and then his face cleared. "Oh damn."
"Wait. Jimmy's Brooke?" Carlos questioned. "Are you sure?"
"Her face is pretty banged up but we found a picture and her ID on the table in the kitchen. Davis also asked. She confirmed it."
"She say who did it?" Doc asked.
Sully nodded. "Tony."
Carlos shook his head. "Anyone tell Kim or Jimmy?"
"Davis and I are gonna head to Mercy to do just that. We'll see you guys later. E.S.U. is on their way. A detective is probably gonna go with you to the hospital to get her statement." Sully said.
"Thanks Sul." Doc said.
"Yeah. Davis, let's go."
The younger man nodded and followed his partner out the door while Doc and Carlos went to work on Brooke.

Kim was leaning on her elbow, her cheek resting on her palm as she half dozed in the chair beside Melanie's bed. Her sister had been awake for a little bit. They talked and then Mel fell back asleep. Now Kim was starting to doze off. She was startled out of her sleep when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up expecting Jimmy but it was Ty Davis.
"Hey." She said quietly. "It's been a while."
"Yeah. Can we talk?"
"In the hall?"
"Yeah."
"Sure." Kim got up quietly and followed him into the hallway. "Hi Sully. How are you?"
"Good. You?"
"I've had better weeks. I've had better root canals." She kidded.
"Yeah, I can believe that." The gruff cop nodded.
"What's going on?" Kim looked from Sully to Davis and then back.
"We got a call tonight. It was a domestic disturbance."
"Okay. Just tell me it wasn't Bobby's mother's cause that's where my kids are."
"No. It was at Brooke's house."
"Brooke."
"Yeah. She got knocked around pretty badly." Davis said.
"Tony?"
"That's what she said. I asked the neighbor that called it in and she described Tony almost to the last detail."
"Do we know where he is?"
"No."
"Can you put a cop over at Bobby's mother's house? My kids are there and I don't trust Tony not to find them. She's sat for Abby a few times."
"I'll call it in." Sully said.
"Thanks." Kim said and then rattled off the address. "This time, when you catch him, don't let him go."
"You can count on it." Davis said.

A little while later Jimmy came back into Mel's room. Kim was sitting in a chair with her knees drawn up to her chest.
"Hey." He said quietly.
Kim looked up. "You're back."
"Yeah. Everything okay?" He said looking down at her.
"No." She looked at her sister. "Sully and Davis were here a little while ago."
"Now what?"
"Let's go in the hall." Kim took Jimmy's hand and led him into the hall and down to the waiting room. It was empty. They sat down on the couch.
"Kim? What's wrong? Did something happen?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah. Jimmy, Brooke was brought in a little while ago. Tony beat her up."
"Domestic disturbance?" Carlos asked Sully.
"Yeah. Neighbors heard screaming and called 9-1-1. When we got here, we found her like this." Sully nodded to the woman on the floor. "Said she's a cop. Uh, Doc?"
