Chapter 4-Torturing Carlos January 7, 2002

Carlos and Alex were bringing in a shoplifter who had passed out into Mercy. They had called for PD to meet them at the hospital. When they arrived Sully and Ty met them at the entrance. Sully knew the woman, she had a history of shoplifting. Alex walked around the cot and started walking away hinting to Ty that she wanted him to follow her.

"So what's up?" Ty asked as he walked up to Alex.

"Let's go," Alex suggested some extra curricular activities in the closet behind her.

"What? No. No," Ty said slightly embarrassed.

"Come on, we've got like 5 minutes," Alex begged grabbing his belt.

"You're a crazy little woman you know," Ty said taking her hand from his belt.

"Fine, your loss," Alex said starting to walk away.

"Ok, let's go," Ty said as he grabbed her arm and pulled her into the closet.

Carlos had finished with the patient and was walking back out to the bus. He saw Ty walk out of a door and passed him. Carlos stopped, a little confused of why Ty was down there. Then Alex walked out of the same door, with only her white undershirt on, carrying her FDNY shirt. It took Carlos a minute, but he finally put things together.

Alex and Carlos were on their lunch break. Carlos was still in shock and grossed out about the entire situation. Then he came to a realization.

"Oh my god, it was your scrawny ass I saw the other night."

Alex just smiled. She was enjoying the fact that this was bothering him so much.

"That's just wrong," Carlos continued.

"You know if I knew this was going to bother you so much, I would have told you a lot sooner," Alex commented.

Carlos just gave her a disgusted look.

"Now we are going to do it with the door open."

Carlos closed the books he had been studying from and went to the front of the bus.

The lieutenant had called Alex in the middle of their shift and asked if she could work a double. One of the paramedics from the next shift called out, his mother was in the hospital. She agreed. She called Ty to tell him that she wouldn't be coming over after the shift.

After his shift Ty was looking forward to a nice relaxing evening at home. He opened the door and saw Carlos watching television on the couch.

"Hey," he said as he closed the door behind him.

"Hi," Carlos said without breaking his stare at the television.

"What's with you?"

"Nothing," he replied.

Ty walked over to Carlos and asked him again, "what's the matter with you?"

"Why Taylor?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know damn well what I am talking about, you and Taylor."

"How did you find out?"

"I saw you two coming out of the closet in the hospital."

"It just kind of happened, what's the big deal."

"It's Taylor, that's the big deal. She's weird."

"First of all, she's not weird. And second of all I am not looking for your approval for who I see and who I don't."

"I don't want her here anymore."

"Carlos, you don't even know when she is here. She has been here almost every night for the last three weeks and you didn't even have a clue. Not even after you walked in on us."

"Three weeks! This has been going on for three weeks?"

"Yup, right behind those doors," Ty said pointing to his bedroom doors.

"That's messed up man."

"Oh you're just jealous."

"Because you have Taylor? I don't think so."

"Not over her, just us in general. You haven't been lucky with the ladies recently."

"I have my fair share thank you very much."

"Whatever Carlos, I'm going to bed."

Ty was finding the same satisfaction Alex was earlier. He was enjoying torturing Carlos. He was always bragging about his women and now they could rub it into him.
