Chapter 51-
Jimmy rolled over in the small bunk he was currently sharing with Kim. It took his partially unconscious brain a few seconds to realize he was alone in bed. He opened his eyes and lifted his head. He just saw a few of the guys from the day shift sleeping in the beds around him. Other then that the room was empty. He got out of bed and pulled on some jeans. Yawning he went to the stairs. He listened and could hear a couple of the paramedics laughing down in the kitchen. He figured Kim probably wasn't down there so he went up the stairs instead. Once he reached the roof he looked around.
"You're supposed to be sleeping." He heard from behind him.
He turned and saw Kim sitting in a beach lounge chair. "So are you."
"Couldn't quite manage it. I think Lombardo's snoring has gotten worse." She kidded. She pulled her knees up and left Jimmy a space to sit at the end of the chair.
He took it. "Did you sleep at all?"
"A little. At least I think I did. I'm not sure."
"How long have you been up here?"
"I watched the sun come up." She admitted.
Jimmy nodded. "You gotta sleep Kimmy."
"I know. I just can't make it happen."
"Well first, you gotta relax a little."
"Easier said then done." She tilted her head and smiled sadly at him. "Has anyone called?"
"No." Jimmy shook his head. "Get up for a minute."
"Huh?"
"Just trust me."
Kim eyed him for a moment but she got up. Jimmy took her seat and she frowned. Then he patted the space in front of him and Kim sat down with her back to him. She smiled a minute later when Jimmy started to rub her back. He'd done this a lot when she was pregnant with Joey. Her back had killed her most nights back then and Jimmy doing this had always helped her fall asleep.
Jimmy felt more and more of the tension leave Kim's body as she relaxed. He brought her back to lean against his chest. Kim scooted back so that she was a little more comfortable and Jimmy put his arms around her. She rested her head against his shoulder. He felt her shiver a little.
"Do you wanna go inside?"
"No. I like it out here."
Jimmy nodded. "We can stay here as long as you like."

"Here ya go Sully." Ty said handing his partner a cup of coffee.
"Thanks. Did you get the paper?"
The younger man held up a newspaper by way of an answer.
"Anything in there about Kim's niece?"
"Yeah." Ty pointed to a picture of Abby and one of Tony. "There's a phone number. Hopefully someone will call."
"Yeah."
"Man, I can't even imagine what Kim must be feeling right now." Ty commented. "I'd go nuts if my brother-in-law took off with one of my nieces or nephews."
"I just wanna find this guy so that when Zambrano's sister becomes more coherent we can tell her that her daughter is okay. This guy gives cops a bad name." Sully said.
"We getting any help from the 2-5?" Ty asked.
"Some. He may have beaten the hell out of Brooke but there's still that code of honor."
"Honor is not a word I'd apply to this guy." Ty said as he got in the car.
"Me neither." Sully agreed quietly.
