Chapter 2
He was walking out of the locker room humming to himself when the desk clerk called
out. "Hey Bosco! This young lady here wants to see Ty. Can you help her find him?" "What do
I look like? The station tourguide?" He started to bite back until he turned around and looked
into the deep green eyes of the attractive woman in front of him. "Umm, well if you just follow
me, I'm sure..." Bosco started, but suddenly her eyes brightened and she waved. "Ty! Ty! That
is not you, is it?" She squealed and walked past him.
"Liz? Is that you Liz?" Ty said in disbelief. "Yeah! Who else would it be? Gosh I
haven't seen you since...." Liz trailed off. "Yeah, its ok. I know. My dad's funeral," Ty said.
Quickly changing the tone, he laughed and said, "you know it must be the outfit." Liz laughed,
"yeah, not a white frilly party dress, covered in mud!" Ty roared, "Yeah, you were such a messy
child!" "Hey! You pushed me in the mud!" Liz shot back. Ty laughed harder, "No, actually I
pulled you in. I was already flat out on my back, remember?" Liz looked at Ty for a few
seconds, remembering the spectacle, before bursting out laughing again.
Bosco was looking at the two of them laughing and joking like old friends. How did Ty
get so lucky? Here was a beautiful woman who he had just met, and he already had no chance
with her. Ty noticed Bosco watching. He wondered what was going through his head. "Hey
Bosco!" a voice yelled. "What?" Bosco snapped. "You're riding with me! Come on!" the
receding voice yelled back. Bosco rolled his eyes and reluctantly turned to follow the figure. He
didn't even know who it was, he wasn't concentrating. Ty looked back at Liz just as he saw her
tear up. "So, I guess we need to talk about old Sul, now don't we?" She said. Ty just nodded.
"Come on, we'll get coffee or something."
"55 Charlie, we have a domestic disturbance call.." The radio crackled to life. Sully groaned He knew immediately who it was. As soon as Liz had gone back to her father, he knew something would happen. As the car screamed around corners and down streets, his new partner, Larry, grabbed the side of the door and stared at him. Sully was already jumping out of the RMP as he threw it into park. He saw the form on the sidewalk. It wasn't moving.
"I think he's sleeping still." Ty said. "Does he know I'm coming?" Liz asked. "No, I
didn't tell him. Think its better that way...."Ty trailed off, realizing Liz was about to cry.
"What's the matter?" "Nothing. Nothing. Just thinking is all," Liz said. "What about?" Ty
asked, concerned. "Nothing, really, its nothing I'm fine," Liz brushed him off. Still, she gazed
around the apartment. Where was it? Where was the ashtray she had given him? And the
pictures of them? It was like she had never existed at all. She knew all at once, he had been
serious with his ultimatum. She had left, she had come back, and yet she still wasn't there. Then
she heard the groans in the next room.
