Chapter 10-
"Wait here."
"Bos, I can handle telling Jimmy."
"I know but I want you to talk to Bobby and Mel." Bosco nodded down the street where Bobby and Melanie were standing.
"Right." Faith nodded. "See you in a few."
"Yeah." Bosco headed into the firehouse. He could hear the bouncing of the basketball coming from the back and took a shot that it was Jimmy. It was. "Hey Jimmy."
He turned. "Hey Bosco. What's up? I park the car in your space?"
"No. Doc and Carlos just took a call."
"I know. I saw them leave."
"But you don't know where it was?"
"Nah. I was just getting in when they got called out."
"Jimmy, it was your mother-in-law's place."
Jimmy turned around. "What? What happened? Charlie's there. Is she okay?"
"Somebody hit Catherine with a blunt object. We're not sure what it was."
"What about Charlie?" Jimmy asked.
"She wasn't there. She didn't come out of a hiding space when any of us called for her."
"What about Joey?"
"He's fine. Sully and Davis are bringing him back right now."
"I gotta call Kim."
"Jimmy."
"What?" He stopped and stared at Bosco.
"Kim's missing too."
"What?"
"We went down to the ER to talk to her when we realized who it was that Doc and Carlos were patching up. The clerk said she'd gotten a phone call and then left."
"Do Melanie and Bobby know yet?"
"Faith's down the street talking to them."
"Who found Catherine?"
"Joey's friend's dad. He was walking him back to your Catherine's and they found her in the yard. The reason no one had found her sooner is because she was hidden by a bush."
Jimmy nodded.
"Jimmy, I hate to ask but is there anyone you can think of-"
"Tony Montanero is out on parole Bosco."
"Since when?"
"A few days at least. It's a long story. He is also suspected of stealing Bobby's personnel file."
"Good."
"Excuse me?"
"Personal property. Or would that be considered government property? Anyway it's theft. We can run him in on that. When we do, we'll see if maybe he knows where your wife and daughter are."
"Thanks Bosco."
"You got it."
"Dad!" Joey came running into the firehouse.
"Joey." Jimmy sighed with relief. "Thank God." He wrapped his arms around his son. "Are you okay?"
"Dad, Grandma's hurt." He said.
"I know. I know."
"Where's Mom?" Joey asked. "She wasn't at work."
"I don't know. I don't know where Mom is. I don't know where Charlie is either. But you know what? We're gonna find them and bring 'em home okay?"
Joey nodded.
"Wait here."
"Bos, I can handle telling Jimmy."
"I know but I want you to talk to Bobby and Mel." Bosco nodded down the street where Bobby and Melanie were standing.
