The day started off a slow one, the firefighters were all crowded around
the TV watching the
Yankee's and the Braves play at Yankee Stadium. Bobby and Kim were driving
around town
discussing the events of the previous evening while waiting for a call to
come in.
"How was your evening last night?" Kim asked her partner.
"Could have been better," he replied to her with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Wanna talk about it?" Kim asked.
"Matty is starting to go down hill again," he replied looking out at the city bustling around them. "He was doing so well staying out of trouble and sobering up. I had actually thought he was turning his life around, but it turns out it was all a lie." Bobby said, his voice starting to waiver slightly.
"Oh Bobby, I'm so sorry," Kim replied, taking his left hand into her own.
"As I was heading home last night, I stopped in to visit him at his new job. But when I went in and asked the manager where he was he told me he had quit over a week ago." Bobby said quietly. "When I got home he was heading out of my apartment and when I asked him where he was going, he told me he was heading to work since he had just changed his hours. But he didn't know that is where I had just come from. When I told him that I had just come from there, he knew his cover had been blown."
"Why didn't you call me? I could have come over and we could have talked about this or done something to get this off your mind sooner," Kim replied with genuine concern in her voice.
"I didn't want to bother you and Joey that late at night," he replied. "Anyway," Bobby said, changing the subject. "How was your evening?"
"It was good. Joey and I played some video games for a while, then he wanted to watch a movie but didn't make it half way through it before he fell asleep on the couch. After putting him to bed I had gone in to get ready for bed myself when I heard someone knocking on the door at after one in the morning," she said.
"Who in the hell would be coming over at that hour?" Bobby asked in suprise.
"Give ya three guesses." Kim said.
"Obviously it wasn't me, your mother or your sister so that leaves only one other person." Bobby said rolling his eyes at Kim.
"Exactly." she replied.
"What on earth did Doherty want at that hour?" he asked her.
"At first he came over to tell me he is planning on getting remarried. Then he said there was more and asked if he could come in. I figured I had an idea what he was gonna say but it turns out I was far from what I was thinking." she said.
Just then a call came in over the radio. As Bobby radioed back that they were taking the call, Kim hit the sirens and headed towards the location.
