Chapter 5-A Strong Bond? January 14, 2002
Tatyana's son, Sergi, had been beaten up pretty badly yesterday. For some reason the Russians in the city were upset with Tatyana and Sully didn't know why. Sully badgered Sergi for a name and finally got the name Chevchenko. He finally figured out that Chevchenko was at a wedding party at a local restaurant in the Russian area. Sully sped the patrol car to the restaurant. When they got there he was just going to storm in. Ty stopped him and suggested that they call for backup. Sully blew him off and told him that if wanted to he could wait in the car. Of course Ty wasn't going to wait in the car so he followed Sully inside. He found Chevchenko and was going to arrest him. The guests were all filing out of the restaurant afraid of what may transpire. All of Chevchenko's men stayed and were ready to draw their guns on Sully and Ty. Sully had Chevchenko's arms behind his back and was about to place the cuffs on when bullets came raining into the restaurant. Ty and Sully dove for cover. Chevchenko's men tried to fire back at the men shooting in, but were mostly unsuccessful. After what seemed like forever for the officers the shooting stopped. All of Chevchenko's men had been killed. One of the shooters was still walking around towards the front of the restaurant. Ty found a piece of glass and used it as a mirror. First he tried to find Sully. When he did he saw that he was still moving. Then he tried to focus on the man who was walking around. He did so and saw that he was reloading his gun. This may be Ty's only chance to get rid of the guy. He popped up from behind the table he had been hiding behind and shot five or six times at the shooter, killing him.
"Sully? Sully?" Ty screamed trying to find his partner.
"I'm over here. I'm ok," he replied.
Suddenly Ty felt weak and the back of his leg hurt. He put his hand to where it hurt. He brought his hand back around front and looked at it, it was covered in blood.
"Sul?" Ty said in a desperate voice.
"I said I'm fine." Sully was finishing his arrest of Chevchenko. He had been underneath the table with Sully and survived.
"No Sul, it's me. I think I've been shot," Ty managed to get out.
"Oh my god," Sully said turning around to Ty.
"I've been shot," Ty said before falling to the ground.
~*~*~*~ Kim and Alex were enjoying the quiet of their shift. Their conversation was covering every topic under the sun.
"All units in the 5-5 respond to 110 East 97th for multiple shooting victims, possible 10-136. PD on scene," came the dispatchers voice over the radio.
"Damn it," Alex reacted to the call.
"Boy 5-5-3 responding," Kim answered dispatch.
Alex hated hearing calls like that, especially for a call in their district. More than likely Ty was going to be there. She worried about him. Calls like this made her understand better why he wanted to protect her from that guy in the bar when he wanted to ride with her and Kim to the hospital. She had to keep telling herself that he was trained for things like this, dealing with criminals was his job.
Kim and Alex arrived on scene and were greeted with mass chaos. Alex quickly surveyed the scene for Ty, Sully or their patrol car. She didn't see them. It made her feel more comfortable.
"I guess one of those ridiculous domestic calls finally paid off," Alex said to herself.
Alex refocused on the task at hand. They had to distinguish between those that were already dead and those that were still breathing. Carlos and Doc found one with three gun shot wounds and they took him to the hospital. Kim and Alex continued checking the victims for any sign of life. There was blood everywhere. Kim finally found one who had a faint pulse. They decided they should take him since it didn't look like they were doing to find anyone else with a better chance. They quickly packaged him and headed for Mercy. He coded once in the bus, but Alex was able to get him back. They got to the hospital and handed him over to the trauma team who was waiting for them. Kim and Alex then went to the washroom to clean themselves up. After they were cleaned up, it was time to tackle the bus.
"Hey Taylor," Alex heard from behind her.
"What do you want Carlos?" She asked as she turned around.
"Can I talk to you for a sec?" He sounded serious.
"Yeah. What?" She said as they walked into an empty exam room.
"Davis was at the restaurant."
"No he wasn't. I looked when we got there. I didn't see them or the car."
"I know, they used to car to bring him here. He was shot."
"What! Carlos where is he?" Alex tried to keep herself under control.
"He's up in surgery. It was in his thigh and only one shot. He should be fine Alex."
"Oh god, where is Sully?"
"Upstairs in the OR waiting room."
"Thank you Carlos," Alex said as she headed to the elevator.
Alex waited for the elevator for what seemed like forever. She felt horrible because all this time she thought he was ok and he was really on his way to surgery. Finally the elevator came and she pushed the button for the OR floor. The doors opened and she saw Sully sitting in the waiting room.
"Sully?" She said as she walked up to him.
"Hey Alex."
"How is he?"
"He just got out of surgery. They said I can go in soon."
"He'll be ok Sully, he's tough," Alex said trying to reassure Sully and herself.
"But it's all my fault."
"What do you say that?"
"I wanted Chevchenko so bad. When we got to the restaurant I told him not to call for backup. I was about to arrest him when bullets started raining in."
"You didn't let him call for backup?" Alex was a bit taken back, Sully really had screwed up.
"I just thought I would go in and arrest Chevchenko and that would be it. I told him he could wait in the car if he wanted to."
"Sully, he's your partner. You actually thought he was going to stay in the car?"
"I wasn't thinking. I just wanted Chevchenko so bad. He needed to pay for what he did to Sergi."
"He'll be ok Sully," Alex didn't know what else to say.
"Officer Sullivan you may go in now. He is still asleep, but should be waking up soon," the doctor said.
"Thank you doctor." The doctor walked away. "Taylor you go in first."
"No, he's your partner. You go."
"He wants to see you. On the way here he kept telling me to make sure I tell you that he will be ok."
"You sure?" Alex asked trying to keep from crying after hearing what Sully said.
"Yeah. I don't think he is too happy with me anyway."
"Thanks Sully."
Alex got up and walked towards Ty's room. She stopped outside the room and looked at him through the window. He had so many things hooked up to him. He looked so vulnerable. She finally found enough courage to walk in. He was still out like the nurse had said. She sat in the chair next to his bed and took his hand into hers. She just wanted him to be ok, she couldn't lose him now. He began to stir.
"What's up?" Ty said as he opened his eyes and saw Alex.
"Hey."
"What are you doing here?" Ty was surprised to see her sitting there.
"I was worried about you," Alex was trying to hard not to cry, one tear escaped and slide down her cheek.
Ty saw the tear roll down her cheek. He could also see the fear in her eyes. That fear was something he had never witnessed before. It was at that point he realized how much she really meant to him.
"I'll be ok, really," Ty said trying to reassure her.
Alex just gave him a halfhearted smile.
"I'm ok," he said again reassuring her with a squeeze of her hand.
"Ok," she said.
"Hey someone's finally awake," Ty's mom said as she walked in.
"Hi mom, this is Alex," Ty said quickly removing his hand from Alex's as his mom walked to the bed.
"Hi Alex, it's nice to meet you. There have been a lot of people asking about Ty."
"Yeah, everyone at the 5-5 is pretty close," Ty answered.
"Well I better get back," Alex said and stood up. Her mood had changed after Ty's mother came into the room. Ty was a bit worried, but couldn't do anything about it now. He just hoped that she would come back later on.
