Chapter 49-
"You smell." Kim said wrinkling her nose at Jimmy.
"I smell? Thank you very much for that Kim. I risk my neck to save Bobby and all you can say is that I smell." Jimmy smiled to let Kim know he didn't mean it.
"I'm sorry. How's this? Thank you for saving my best friend's life. By the way you need a shower."
"Much better, thank you." Jimmy grinned then looked at the doctor. "So can I go?"
"Yeah. Come back for a wound check but I think that'll heal fine." The doctor said taking off his gloves. "We admitted Mr. Caffey to medicine just for the night."
Kim nodded. "Yeah I know. He was bitching about it all the way upstairs."
"Does this mean I can take Kim and our kids home?" Jimmy interrupted.
"Absolutely. I'll discharge you and you can be on your way." The doctor left.
"Anxious?" Kim asked, coming to stand in front of Jimmy.
"A little. I wanna have that talk with you Kim."
"Tonight? I am so tired right now."
"Not tonight, tomorrow. Your mom can watch Joey and Charlie and we can go for a walk or something."
"Okay."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah." Kim nodded. "But for now, let's just go home."
"Sounds good to me." Jimmy smiled. He got off the gurney and followed Kim out of the room.

"I don't like this Bos." Faith said as they got to the front door. There was no sign of Thompson and there was no movement from inside the house.
"Yeah neither do I." Bosco said before he knocked on the door. To his surprise the door opened. He immediately spoke into his radio. "Dispatch this is 5-5-David. Requesting back-up at 5-7-5 East Grand St."
"10-4 5-5-David. Backup is enroute."
"10-4." Bosco said. "Should we go in?"
"Yeah." Faith said nodding. She drew her gun and Bosco pushed the door open. They carefully entered and looked around. "Bos? Hit the lights."
A moment later the lights came on. "Hey Faith?"
"I see it."
A lamp was shattered on the ground alongside a chair that had obviously been pushed aside considering it was on its side.
"No. Listen."
So she did. A few moments went by and she heard it. A soft whining sound.
"The closet." He said. He and Faith moved into position and with a nod Faith opened the door.
Catherine Zambrano fell out. She was bruised and bound on the floor.
"Oh God." Faith said as Bosco screamed into his radio for a bus.

"You're being quiet."
"Just tired." She smiled when she felt him touch her hair. She looked over at him. "I cannot wait to get into bed."
"Me neither."
"Jimmy." Kim rolled her eyes.
"You know what I mean."
"Not gonna try anything?"
"Would it get me anywhere?"
"Hmm. No." Kim smiled.
"Didn't think so."
"Jimmy."
"What?"
"There's an ambulance at my mother's house."
"Oh God." Jimmy stopped the car, told Joey to stay put, locked the doors, and followed Kim as she ran down the street.
"Bosco?" Kim called.
The cop looked up. "Kim."
"What happened?"
"It's your mom."
"What?" Kim looked past him to where Doc and Alex where. "Oh my God. Mom." She took a step forward and that was the last thing she remembered before everything went black.
"You smell." Kim said wrinkling her nose at Jimmy.
