Since Kim hadn't seen where Kelly had gone, she decided to go across the street to see if she went back to the firehouse. When Kim reached the firehouse she saw that no one was downstairs or outside so she went upstairs to find out if Kelly was there of if anyone had seen her. When Kim reached the top of the stairs she looked around and saw that almost everyone was watching TV. Doc was sitting at the table doing some paperwork and Jimmy was reading the newspaper. Kim then approached Jimmy as he looked up at her from the paper and she said to him, "Did Kelly come up here?"
Jimmy then responded, "Yeah. She ran through here pretty quickly though. She looked like she was upset. I had asked her what was wrong but she just mumbled something and all I heard of it was that she said she was okay and then she ran upstairs.
"Where's Joey at?" Kim asked Jimmy.
"I had called your Mom to come get him because I thought that it might take awhile over at the station. They just left a few minutes ago. How did things go over at the station?" Jimmy asked. "Did you find out if Adam escaped from prison?"
"Things didn't go to good. Bosco had found out that he did escape from prison a week ago. They needed a full report from Kelly and when she got done telling them about everything that had happened up to when they caught him after he attacked her, Faith asked her about her parents. She said that they were dead and then she ran out of the room. We will have to go back sometime soon and finish giving them the report. I am going to go check on her now." Kim said.
"Okay. I'll be down here if you need anything." Jimmy told her.
"Thanks." Kim said and then she walked away and headed upstairs. Kim didn't see Kelly sitting on any of the beds or anywhere else in the room so she headed up to the roof. When Kim opened the door she heard someone crying softly. Kim then saw Kelly sitting on one of the lounge chairs with her legs bent up and her arms around her legs. She then went over to her and sat down next to her.
Kelly then noticed Kim and sat up and turned to her and said, "I'm sorry that I ran out like that." Kelly took the tissue Kim had handed her and wiped her eyes as she tried to stop crying.
"It's okay. I know it was hard for you to have to talk about all of it again." Kim said.
"I thought that I could handle it and then when she asked me about my mom and dad." Kelly said as she was trying not to burst into tears again and she wiped her eyes again with the tissue. "I am so sorry Kim."
"For what?" Kim asked.
Kelly said, "For making you go through all of this. I know how much losing Bobby hurt you too and ... "
"Don't worry about it." Kim told her. We have both been through a lot. I am glad to be here to help you get through it."
"Do you think that we can wait until tomorrow to go back and finish giving the statement?" Kelly asked.
"Yeah. We can go back tomorrow." Kim said.
They both turned towards the door when they heard it open. Alex walked up to them and said, "Kim, we've got a call."
"Ok." Kim told her. "I'll be down in just a second." Alex then left and Kim turned to Kelly and asked her, "Are you going to be okay?"
"I think so." Kelly told her.
"Are you going to go downstairs?" Kim asked.
"I am going to stay up here. I just want to be alone for awhile." Kelly said.
"Ok." Kim said. "I'll take you home after my shift and then if you want to we can talk some more. I'll see you later." Kim said as she stood up and walked towards the door.
"Thanks Kim." Kelly said.
"Your welcome." Kim said as she turned and left.
When Kim came downstairs, Jimmy had stopped her and said, "I know you got a call but how did it go up there? Is she going to be okay?"
"She should be fine, but I would appreciate it if you could go up on the roof in a little bit and check on her. She said she wanted to spend some time alone." Kim told Jimmy.
"Sure. Don't worry about it." Jimmy responded.
"Thanks." Kim said and then she ran down the stairs to Alex who was waiting in the ambulance for her.

About an hour later Jimmy walked out onto the roof and saw that Kelly had fallen asleep in the lounge chair. He walked over to her and picked her up in his arms and carried her inside and put her down on one of the beds. He pulled a blanket up over her and then went downstairs.
Around the same time Kim and Alex were on their way back to the firehouse after they had brought their last patient to the hospital. "Do you mind if I ask you something about Kelly?" Alex asked.
"Sure. Go ahead." Kim said.
When you first told me about Kelly you said that Bobby was the only family that she had left after her parents died." Alex said. "What about the rest of his family?"
"It's complicated." Kim said.
"If you don't want to get into it, I'll understand." Alex told Kim.
"No it's okay. I don't mind." Kim said. "Kelly's father was Bobby's father's brother. Bobby's father left his mom when he was about eleven years old. His dad had left his mom to raise him along with his brother and sisters. When his dad had left it had caused bad feelings towards is side of the family and they just stopped talking to each other after that. Kelly was pretty young when it all happened so she really didn't remember Bobby's family much. Bobby had stayed in touch with them though, so that's why Kelly and Bobby were so close."
"You were right. It is complicated." Alex said. "How did things go over at the station?"
"Not to good." Kim responded. "I should start from the beginning." Kim then went on to tell her about the stalker, what he had done to Kelly, about the pictures and the note, and what had happened at the station. "When we had left before Kelly had stayed up on the roof. I just hope that they catch this guy soon because she's already been through so much."
When they arrived back at the firehouse, Alex said to Kim, "I'll restock the rig. You can go see how Kelly is doing."
"Ok. Thanks." Kim said. She then walked upstairs and was about to go up to see Kelly when Jimmy came up to her. "How is she?" Kim asked him.
"She's fine." Jimmy told her. "I had went to go check on her about an hour after you left and she had fallen asleep so I brought her inside and put her on a bed"
"Thanks Jimmy." Kim said. "I guess I'll just go see if she is still asleep and if she is I won't disturb her until my shift is over." Kim then headed upstairs.
