As the two headed back to Bobby's place, they stopped and picked up dinner
for the three of them. When they got back to his apartment, Kim was still
asleep as they began to set out dinner in the kitchen. It had been over
four hours since Bobby had left to confront Jimmy about the days events and
decided to wake her up to see if she wanted to join them for dinner. As
Alex finished setting out the stuff they had brought back for dinner, Bobby
went in and woke up Kim. He gently sat down beside her and brushed her hair
gently away from her face and said,
"Hey sleepyhead, I've got dinner if you want to get up and eat."
Feeling his gentle touch on her face, she began to wake up slowly. As she opened her eyes, she saw Bobby smiling back at her.
"You've got company." He said as he motioned for Alex to come on in.
"Hey Alex, how are you?" Kim asked as she stood up.
"Pretty good, how about you?" Alex replied.
"Starving." Kim replied laughing.
Alex and Bobby began to laugh with her as they headed into the kitchen to eat dinner. After eating, the group sat around and talked for a while until Carlos called Alex saying that they were needed to respond to a call. Bobby walked Alex outside to wait on Carlos and returned to his apartment after she'd left.
"How did things go with you, Alex and Jimmy?" Kim asked when he returned.
"Believe it or not it went better than I expected." Bobby replied; "Of course he wasn't too thrilled to see me, but things went relatively well."
"I can't wait to be able to go back to work. I'm not used to lying around and doing nothing," she said.
"Since the bruise on your face is almost gone, do you want to go out tomorrow and visit the guys at the station since they are probably worried about you?" Bobby asked.
"Sure, then we could go shopping or something afterwards." she replied smiling.
"Sounds like a plan." Bobby said.
All of a sudden, there was a knock at the door. Kim got up and looked through the peephole in the door to find Matty on the other side. As she looked at his face, she saw the look of pure evil in his eyes as all the color drained from her face. She slowly backed away from the door, grabbing onto the back of the couch for balance.
"Kim, what's wrong?" Bobby asked as he saw the fear she felt in her eyes.
"Matty's at the door." she whispered.
"Go call Faith and Bosco from my room." he told her as he went to the door.
As soon as she was safe, Bobby cracked open the door slightly and said, "What the hell do you want!"
"I live here don't I?" Matty sneered.
"Not anymore you don't." Bobby replied shortly.
"So, you just gonna kick your brother out onto the streets?" he said with a sinister laugh.
"After what you did to Kim, I don't want anything else to do with you." Bobby spat at his brother.
Just then Faith and Bosco arrived, but Matty turned and ran for the stairs as the two officers stepped off the elevator.
"He just ran for the stairs." Bobby shouted to the two officers.
"Faith, take the elevator back down, I'm taking the stairs." Bosco yelled as he ran towards the stairs.
Faith headed back down in the elevator and met up with Bosco outside, but Matty was long gone. Seeing Matty again had brought back all the memories of him beating her, which had taken place four days ago. Faith and Bosco went back to Bobby's apartment to let him know that Matty had gotten away and to check on Kim. After the two officers left, Bobby went in and sat next to Kim who was still frightened after seeing the person who very well could have killed her. Gradually Kim began to relax after seeing Matty again. Bobby sat next to her offering words of support and comfort. Eventually the two fell asleep in each other's arms and rested peacefully, until he was awakened by Kim mumbling to herself. He assumed she was having flashbacks to the night Matty had beat her. She eventually settled down and Bobby drifted off back to sleep.
The next morning Bobby awoke first, looking over at Kim who slept peacefully beside him. She had several other flashbacks throughout the night and finally was able to sleep without having the episodes. he got up and took a hot shower and put on a pot of coffee. About an hour later Kim got up and found him drinking a cup of coffee in the kitchen.
"Hey." she said quietly as she put her hands on his tense shoulders.
"How do you feel this morning?" he asked as she sat in the chair beside him.
"A little tired but pretty good." she replied back.
"Still up to visiting the 55, and going shopping." he asked.
"Yeah. I need to get out for a bit since I haven't been anywhere in almost a week." she replied.
"As soon as you are ready we'll head out." Bobby told her.
Kim got up and headed for the shower as Bobby headed to his room to change into a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. Several minutes later, she emerged wearing a pair of black jeans and a red sweater. Kim grabbed her purse while Bobby got his keys and wallet and the two headed off.
As Kim and Bobby entered the firehouse, they were met by concerned firefighters happy to see that Kim was ok. Doc even came in and was relieved to see that she was alright. Jimmy was no where to be found, when the chief came out to welcome her back.
"Its good to see you're ok." the chief told her.
"I should be back on Monday, praying no other incidents happen between now and then." she said smiling.
"It'll be good to have you back." the chief said smiling.
"See you all on Monday." Kim said as she and Bobby turned to head out of the firehouse.
"Where are the two of you headed now?" Alex called to Kim.
"We're headed off for a day of shopping." Kim said laughing. "Boy do I feel sorry for you Bobby." Alex said laughing.
"Why is that?" he asked.
"Because when a woman goes shopping its usually an all day thing." she said with a sly grin on her face.
"Oh boy, now I'm in trouble." Bobby replied laughing.
"Hey! I heard that." Kim said as she swatted him on the arm.
"You two run along and have fun. Kim, I'll call you later to see if Bobby made it through the day." she said with a laugh.
"Ok. See you all later." They both replied as they left the firehouse.
After over five hours of shopping both Kim and Bobby agreed that it was time to head home and returned to his apartment with arms full of bags.
::Several Months Later::
Kim was working with Alex due to Bobby having the night off. Alex and Kim talked about everything from relationships to the latest spring fashions. The shift had been relatively slow, but they didn't realize that they were being followed. As the rest of the shift winded down, they headed back to the station to prepare for the end of the shift if no other calls came through.
Jimmy had finally accepted the fact that Kim had moved on with her life, and no longer showed animosity towards Bobby for dating his ex-wife. Inside the firehouse, Alex and Kim sat in the kitchen talking till it was time to straighten up the bus for the next shift. When it was time to go home, Kim was the last one to leave for the evening. As she left, the streets were eerily quiet, and a slight breeze was blowing which gave her a sense of uneasiness as she walked towards her apartment. Out of the shadows, a man in black crept up behind her and clamped a dampened rag over her mouth and nose. Her mind panicked and she slowly felt the contents of the rag begin to take effect as everything went black.
Several hours later Bobby called Kim's apartment to see how things went on his day off. When he got no answer he began to worry.
"She didn't mention anything about working a double tonight." Bobby thought to himself; "I wonder where she could be?"
As the drugs wore off, Kim found herself tied to a chair with duct tape and gagged to prevent her from calling for help. As her mind raced in panic, she heard footsteps coming towards her, but couldn't make out the identity of who had kidnapped her.
"Hey sleepyhead, I've got dinner if you want to get up and eat."
Feeling his gentle touch on her face, she began to wake up slowly. As she opened her eyes, she saw Bobby smiling back at her.
