January 22nd, 2004

Ty sat in the squad car. He was getting so stressed on him lately. He didn't know why. Maybe it was an active seven-month-old in the house. Maybe it was the upcoming wedding in May. Maybe it was just because he needed a vacation. A vacation. That would be utterly amazing. He couldn't wait for their honeymoon.

"55-Charlie, we have a 10-34 over at Sal's Meat Market." Dispatch said.

"Are they armed?" Ty asked glancing at Sully.

"Only with racks of lamb and other forms of meat." Ty couldn't help but to chuckle. People nowadays were extremely weird.

"We got it." Ty flipped on the sirens.

"You think they'll sell the damaged meat half price?" Sully asked. Ty laughed loudly.

"Probably, but I don't think I'd want to eat something with human blood all over it." Ty pointed out. Sully frowned.

"Yeah, Didn't think about that." He said as Ty turned around the corner and pulled up in front of the meat market. The men got out and slowly got closer to the store. Ty saw a couple of teenagers assaulting Sal with a rack of lamb. Blood was everywhere. Ty wasn't sure if it was blood from the meat or Sal. Ty burst in holding his gun up.

"Drop your weapon." He yelled. The teens dropped the meat and sully grabbed one of them. Ty looked down at Sal. He was pretty beaten up, "This is 55-Charlie, we need a bus here right now." Sully cuffed the two boys. They knew they were in trouble. "Sal, can you hear me?"

"Yeah..." he mumbled as Ty took his pulse.

"An ambulance is on its way." He said, "Just stay still and we'll take care of you." Sal groaned. Ty looked at the two boys. "You're lucky you didn't kill him. Come on." Ty took one by his cuffs and yanked him to the car.

"Get in the back." Sully said. Ty slammed the door.

"Cases get weirder and weirder every day I think." Ty said. Sully chuckled.

"Yeah, tell me about it." He said.

"Oh hey, I'm getting my tux next month." Ty said, "So you need to come along for a fitting. Adam is going to be there so you two can meet."

"Great." Sully said, "Just give me a place and time and I'll be there."

"Thanks."

Ty walked into the house and hung up his winter jacket. It was quiet. His girls must be asleep. He walked up the stairs and looked into the nursery. Jade was sound asleep as she snuggled her teddy bear. Ty smiled as he gently took the teddy bear from her and placed it on the opposite side of her crib.

"Sleep tight, Lady bug." He whispered as he walked out of the nursery. Ty walked into their bedroom, unbuttoning his shirt. Alex looked like sleeping beauty as she lay there. He smiled. She stirred slightly, opening her eyes.

"Ty?" She mumbled.

"Yeah, it's me." He said, "Go back to sleep."

"Okay." She mumbled, "Dinner is I the fridge."

"I got some Mickey D's drive through." Ty said as he crawled into bed.

"You'll get fat." Alex mumbled turning around and snuggling into Ty. He smiled softly pulling the blanket up around them.

"No I won't." He said, "Good night."

"Night." Alex whispered as she fell asleep again. Ty chuckled. He certainly was blessed.

February 5th, 2004

Alex stood inside of Camelot wiping off the front of her engine. She was getting married soon and she barely had anything done. Okay, she reserved everything and ordered the food, but she didn't have the dress.

"Are you on earth, Taylor?" Jimmy chuckled leaning against the engine.

"Huh?"

"Never mind." He chuckled, "You answered my question." She put the rag down and looked at him.

"Sorry, I was just thinking, when I would have time to go get my dress." She said.

"I still can't picture you wearing a dress." He said with a wink. Alex stuck out her tongue as the fire alarm went off. "Here we go."

"Should be fun." She chuckled pulling on her uniform and getting into the Engine. The dispatcher explained to them that someone skidded into a telephone pole and they needed to be removed from the wreckage. "The kind of calls that I love."

"It's the EMT in you isn't it?" Jimmy chuckled.

"Maybe." Alex said. The roads were certainly icy; She could see why a car would skid. She sighed when she saw all the paramedics and police officers at the scene. She jumped out as soon as she could. "We need the cutters out here, Jimmy." She ran to the wreckage.

"Her pulse is very thready." Kim said, "We need to get her out right now." Alex nodded as she looked inside. Jimmy ran over with the cutters.

"Come on." Alex helped Jimmy steady them against the car. Carefully, They began to cut. The sound was ear piercing, but they needed to get her out. "Get a gurney over here for her!" Alex yelled.

"Got her." Kim said as the door fell off. Alex stepped back and let the paramedics do their work. She sometimes still had a hard time remembering where she had to stop in calls like these. She watched as Kim and Carlos got the girl on the gurney and took her to the bus.

"Let's go." Jimmy said patting Alex's back. She nodded and walked back to the engine.

"I hate icy roads." She said.

"Me too." Jimmy said as the radio alerted them of a 10-33 downtown. Alex sighed deeply.

"The fun never stops." He said as he drove the engine to the scene. Alex put her helmet on and hopped out of the engine.

"I'll take the front. You go around back and check that out." Alex said.

"Got it." He said. Alex took her flashlight out as she walked into the building. She could see nothing. She smelled the air. Nothing. Chills started to run down her back.

Alex looked down the hallway. They had received a call that there was a fire here. Jimmy was checking around the other side of the building. She couldn't smell anything. Her senses were on full alert. Something wasn't right. She took her hat off and swiped the sweat off of her brow. Alex peered up the stairs.

"Is anyone up there?" She called up. A man stepped out nearly startling Alex.

"The fire is in here." He waved Alex up.

Alex took in a deep breath as she took off her helmet. Her chest started to tighten. She pressed her back against the wall and closed her eyes. She had to let this pass. It felt too familiar.

Alex spit blood onto the floor as Stanley the pale man, pinned her wrists to the floor. More blood was filling her mouth. She shouldn't have back talked to Griffin. She spit the blood out again as she tried pulling her hands away from Stanley. Griffin chuckled running his hands down Alex's naked body.

"So, this is what Davis touches every night." He said. Alex's lips trembled.

"Pl-please." She whispered closing her swollen eye tightly.

"Begging." Griffin smiled as he pulled her legs apart, "I like it when women beg." Panic started to swell in Alex's chest.

Alex whimpered. She started to hyperventilate.

"Oh god." She gasped. Alex ran her trembling over her face. It all started to come back to her again. "Jimmy…" She whispered. She slid to the floor. She was having a major panic attack.

"J-Jimmy..." She whispered hoarsely. Her voice was sore from screaming. A sound proof room, Griffin told her. They had been planning this for awhile. They wanted Alex. They wanted her here.

"What can we do now?" Griffin smiled, "We raped you. What? Two times each? We're getting a little tired. How about we just kill you?"

"Son of a bitch." Alex croaked. Griffin growled and grabbed her again. He threw her sore body against the wall. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!"

"You're going to die you little cunt." Griffin took a knife from his pocket. Alex slumped to the ground in fear.

"Oh god....JIMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She got her voice back, "JIMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Jimmy!!!" Alex cried. Jimmy ran down the hallway.

"Alex, what happened??" He asked. Alex's whole body trembled. Jimmy bent down to her. "Alex?"

"H-He just w-wouldn't g-get off of me!" Alex sobbed.

"Put your head between your knees." He said rubbing her back. "Just breath." He looked around him; "It's the building. It's too similar. Come on. Let's go." Alex nodded as she got up. He helped her outside. "I thought you were over that." Alex looked at him.

"It's only been over a year." She whispered, "I'll never be over it." Her entire body was still trembling, "I think I need to go home." Jimmy nodded.

"I'll drop you off." He said. Alex climbed into the engine. She thought she was over it too. Her panic attacks seemed to fade away a couple of months ago, but when she walked into that building, things were too similar to when she was raped. It just brought everything back including her panic attack.
