As soon as he walked into the apartment Sully could tell that it had
been more than a little argument. Several books lay in different positions
by the far wall. As they walked in a woman was picking up pieces of what
looked to have been a vase.
"I bumped into the end table knocking it over," she said quickly as she noticed Sully's gaze. "It broke when it hit the floor."
"We're just stopping by to make sure everything is okay," Sully told her.
"Yes, everything is fine. We just had a small disagreement."
"Over what?"
"Believe it or not, what we were going to have for dinner," the man said with a nervous laugh.
"And the books," asked Ty gesturing to the books on the floor.
"I was looking for something," the woman said quickly.
Sully looked at Ty. He could tell his partner was thinking the same thing as he was. These two were lying about what they were fighting over and how the vase and books ended up on the floor. However, neither was going to admit it which meant that there was really nothing that could be done.
"Okay then, I guess we'll be going then," Sully said. "Thank-you for your time."
The guy walked with them to the door and as soon as the two cops were out in the hallway he closed and locked the apartment door behind them.
"Man I hate walking away from a situation like that," Ty commented as the two of them made their way back down the steps. "You know there is more going on there then just an argument over what they were going to have for dinner."
"Yeah, but without a complaint from one of them there is nothing we can do this time. My bet is that will be back here within the next week."
The rest of the walk to their squad car was walked in silence. Each officer was lost in their own thoughts.
"Central, this is 55-Charlie we are 98," Sully said into his radio as he got into the car.
"10-4 Charlie. Respond to a traffic accident at 11th and Black."
"10-4," Sully said. "When it rains it pours," Sully muttered under his breath as he pulled the car out into traffic.
After three more calls Sully was really starting to get irritated at Bosco. They were taking call after call. While standing at an intersection directing traffic on the fourth call Sully could no longer resist.
"Central what is 55-David up to," Sully asked.
"We still show 55-David checking out report of an unknown dispute."
"That was over two hours ago," Ty said. "You think something went wrong."
"Probably not. Bosco is probably just using it as an excuse not to take any other calls." Sully said. "After all, he doesn't have Faith with him today to get on his case for dodging calls."
"But two hours without a word from him," Ty said not buying Sully's excuse. "That is starting to get a bit too long even for Bosco. And it is a rough area."
"Maybe," Sully said slowly. Ty worries were probably unfounded but what if they weren't . In Sully's mind that was a slim possibility but could they take the chance? Sully knew he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if something had happened and he hadn't done anything to check up on his fellow offer no matter how much of a pain in the ass he was.
"Do you remember the address of the unknown Bosco was checking out,"Sully asked Ty.
"Yeah, 232 56th street," Ty said.
"Why don't we head over there after this call and check things out,"Sully said.
"Sounds good to me," Ty replied glad that Sully was taking him seriously for a change.
"Welcome back," Doherty said from his place on the couch in front of the TV, as Kim and Alex came in from yet another call. The squad had yet to be called out all shift and the fire fighters were having fun rubbing it in to their paramedic co-workers.
"What you do wrong to get sentenced to hard labor Alex," Walsh commented.
"At least I'm accomplishing something with my time," Alex said.
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that," Jimmy told her. "We all know you want to be with us hanging around the fire house until something really important comes up."
"All you paramedics do is go running as soon as someone sneezes," Lombardo said.
"All the running around keeps us in shape," Kim commented heading for the refrigerator. "Did you put on some extra pounds lately Lombardo."
"Cute," Lombardo responded. He was about ready to say something smart back when the alarm went off.
Kim and Alex held their breath both hoping it was for fire and not them. They let out a sigh of relief as dispatch announced a call for a fire at an abandoned building on 56th street. Immediately the guys lounging on the couch sprang to action.
"Have fun," Kim said as they disappeared even though she had a feeling that they would soon be joining fire at 232 56th Street.
The engine from the Camelot Fire Station pulled up in front of 232 56th street to see smoke coming out of some broken basement windows and first floor windows. No flames could be seen so the location of the fire was unknown.
"Okay guys," Lieu said getting out of the engine. " Lets get a line ready. Doherty Lombardo I want you to go in and see if you can locate the fire. Mitchell, be ready to vent."
As Doherty and Lombardo put on their masks and headed into the building D.K. pointed out the squad car parked in front of the engine. "Where are the police officers who belong to the car," he asked?
"That's strange," Lieu said looking around. "Any idea who it is," Lieu asked him?
"No."
"Doherty do you copy," Lieu said into his radio.
"Yeah, I'm here boss."
"You may have victims in there. There is a squad car parked out front here but no police officers in sight. We can't rule out the possibility of them being trapped inside."
"Copy," Jimmy said into the radio. "Lomabardo," Jimmy called to his friend in front of him. "Did you hear that."
"Sure did. I'm keeping my eyes and ears open," Lombardo called back.
Sully could feel the lump form in his throat as they neared 232 56th street to see the fire engine parked out front and smoke coming from the building. As they got out he noticed that Bosco's squad was still parked outside of the building.
"Is he inside," Sully asked as he jogged up to where Lieu was standing supervising his men?
"I was hoping you would know," Lieu replied. " The car was empty when we pulled up to the fire. Whose squad is it?"
"Boscorelli. He was called to check out to check a report of an unknown dispute close to three hours ago. There hasn't been a report from him since he took the call."
"Is he by himself today," Lieu asked?
"Yeah," Sully answered. Sully then keyed his radio to report the disappearance of an officer and request a supervisor to come out to the location.
Meanwhile, Lieu contacted his men inside the building. " The squad outside here is Boscorelli's. He's alone today. He was responding to a call at this location so we are assuming that he is inside the building," Lieu told them.
"Copy that Boss," came Jimmy's voice over the radio.
"Any idea on the source of the fire yet," Lieu asked?
"No not...." Jimmy voice suddenly drifted off. Lieu waited tensely for Jimmy to continue. He didn't have to wait long. "Boss, we have fire, back northeast corner, first floor."
"Copy, Jimmy. They're coming in with the line."
"I bumped into the end table knocking it over," she said quickly as she noticed Sully's gaze. "It broke when it hit the floor."
"We're just stopping by to make sure everything is okay," Sully told her.
"Yes, everything is fine. We just had a small disagreement."
