When they arrived at the address dispatch had given them, they noticed the
apartment the call had supposedly come from didn't exist. Kim radioed back
to dispatch confirming the address and letting them know there wasn't an
apartment with that number. There was no call back number left so the call
became unfounded. While Kim was talking to dispatch, Alex headed back down
the hall towards the stairs. Kim began to follow her but didn't hear the
door to one of the apartments open.
All of a sudden a hand was clamped over her mouth and she felt herself being pulled back into one of the apartments. She tried to scream but all that escaped her mouth were garbled sounds. As she was forced into one of the apartments, the clasp to the necklace Bobby had given her when they started dating broke and fell to the ground. Alex had gotten to the bottom of the stairs and didn't see Kim behind her. Nervousness built up inside of her as she retraced her steps to the point where she and Kim had last been together. When she returned to the floor, she looked down the corridor at first not noticing anything out of the ordinary. Then she saw something on the ground and moved towards it.
When she knelt down and removed the object from the floor she picked up the necklace and held it in her hand and stood up, looking at it. Identifying it as the one Bobby had given to Kim. Alex immediately called out to Kim, hoping she was near by and would respond. Kim heard Alex calling out to her and tried to respond but the gag in her mouth prevented anything audible from escaping her lips. Alex tried to pull herself together as she radioed for police backup, her voice shaking as she spoke.
The room went black when a blindfold was tied over her eyes, tightly against her head. She felt her wrists and ankles being bound together with ropes and felt someone pick her up and lay her flat on her back and felt two more sets of hands holding down her ankles and wrists as additional ropes secured her to whatever she'd just been placed upon. She was completely helpless and at the mercy of whoever had her. A hand removed the gag from her mouth momentarily and she wasted no time in screaming for Alex, praying she be near by.
Alex sat at the end of the hall holding Kim's necklace in her hands as tears fell from her eyes. She heard Kim scream her name and then an eerie silence. You could have heard a pin drop in the corridor. Alex tried to locate the apartment that Kim's screams had come from when Sully and Ty arrived.
They slowly climbed the stairs and found Alex hysterical, searching for Kim.
"Alex!" Ty called out, just loud enough for her to hear.
She turned her head and saw them at the end of the hall, motioning for her to come to where they were. She headed over to where they were, obviously shaken up about Kim.
"Alex, what happened?" Ty asked gently.
Alex shakily recounted what had happened when they got here and told them about hearing Kim's screams when she'd come back up.
Ty looked at Sully and said, "Take her outside. If I need you I'll radio for you."
"Ty, that's not a good idea. We don't know who has her or if they're armed." Sully replied.
"Then I'll take my chances, just do it." Ty replied.
Sully reluctantly agreed and helped Alex up and took her outside to the bus and tried to calm her down.
Meanwhile back inside the apartment, the person who had abducted Kim finally spoke.
"Too bad that bitch of a partner you're with called the cops. Because you and I were going to have some fun." The man sneered coldly.
As the sound of the man's voice registered with her brain, fury began to course through her. As she put a face to the voice she started to struggle against the ropes, which wouldn't give since there was no slack in the rope at all. A pair of hands began to untuck her uniform top from her pants and slowly began to undo the buttons of the top. She started thrashing around as much as she could but with no slack in the rope she couldn't move very far. Bile rose in her throat as Craig ran his hand over her chest and hips, resting it against her stomach underneath her undershirt which made her skin begin to crawl. He then removed the gag from her mouth once again and forcefully began kissing her again. When he'd stopped for air she began to scream for help once more before the gag was roughly shoved back into her mouth. Ty heard her screams for help and followed the sound till he was outside the apartment door.
Craig forcefully and roughly shoved the gag back into her mouth and backhanded her across the face several times, busting her lip in the process. Ty had begun to pound on the door, not getting an answer. When no one answered he kicked in the door and pulled out his flashlight since there were no lights on. Craig disappeared out the window and down the fire escape with his two accomplices and fled into the night when Ty kicked in the door. Ty slowly and carefully made his way through the apartment, gun drawn, checking each of the rooms. When he checked one of the bedrooms he found Kim bound, gagged and bleeding from where Craig had hit her. He holstered his gun and rushed towards her trembling body. He put his hand on her shoulder when he reached her side but she assumed it was Craig and began to thrash around as much as her restraints would allow, not knowing it was Ty. He quickly tried to calm her down before she hurt herself any further.
"Kim! It's me Ty, calm down so I can help you." he said softly.
She recognized his voice and lie still so he could untie her. After freeing her arms and legs he helped her sit up and took the gag and blindfold off her head. He slowly helped her to stand after she'd refastened her uniform top that Craig had undone and allowed Ty to help her from the apartment.
Sully was standing in front of Alex as she sat on the back of the rig, trying to calm her down, when he saw Ty helping Kim from the building. He looked at Alex and said quietly, "Alex relax, Ty found Kim. She's ok."
Alex looked up seeing Kim walking alongside Ty, still trembling after everything she'd endured. Kim looked at the tears of guilt flowing down Alex's face and began to sob as Ty wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders. Doc and Carlos pulled up and saw him helping Kim back over towards Sully and Alex. They rushed over to where the two women were and saw the rope burns on Kim's wrists and bruises from where she'd been hit and knew something had gone horribly wrong.
"Alex, what happened?" Carlos asked softly.
She pulled herself together long enough to tell them what had happened and began crying once again when Ty described how he'd found Kim in the apartment.
After they arrived back at the hospital, Kim went up to Bobby's room to be alone for a bit, since he would more than likely be asleep since it was the wee hours of the morning. Ty comforted Alex in one of the empty exam rooms, trying to get her to see that none of what happened was her fault. Kim curled up in the chair next to his bed and wished he were awake so she could talk to him. Tears silently began to slip down her face as she thought of what happened as she fell asleep.
Later on, Alex came up to Bobby's room to get Kim since their double was almost over. She whispered an inaudible 'I'm sorry' to Bobby and gently woke Kim up. She placed her hand on Kim's shoulder and said quietly, "Kim, wake up. We've got to take the bus back."
Kim jumped at Alex's touch, but didn't scream. She looked at Alex's apologetic face and stood up slowly. She let out a heavy sigh and reluctantly left his room and headed with Alex to the rig. The two drove in silence until Kim looked over at Alex and said, "None of this is your fault Alex, it couldn't have been prevented."
"If I would have waited for you instead of taking off I could have tried to help you and prevent this from happening to you," she replied, tears forming in her eyes again; "Now Bobby will probably be angry with me for not looking out for you."
"No! Alex, he won't blame you for this!" Kim said trying to reassure Alex that he wouldn't blame any of this on her.
She began to rub her stiff neck when she noticed the necklace Bobby gave to her was missing. Alex looked over at the horrified expression on her face and said, "What's wrong?"
"My necklace. The one Bobby gave to me. It's gone!" she exclaimed.
"Calm down, your necklace is right here. I found it in the hall of the apartment complex at the unfounded call." Alex said, hoping to calm her down when she picked it up and handed it to her.
A look of relief passed over Kim's face as she took the necklace from Alex and fastened it around her neck.
"If you don't mind me asking, who did this to you?" Alex asked softly, hoping she didn't upset Kim.
"It was Craig," she replied, clenching her hands into fists just thinking about earlier.
When they arrived back at the station, they got started on inventory and straightened up the bus quickly and headed to change and get their stuff. Once they'd finished they changed clothes and headed home. When Kim made her way towards Bobby's car, she found Jimmy waiting on her. She took a deep breath and headed towards him. Luckily it was still dark so that helped hide her wounds but Jimmy sensed something wasn't right. He'd noticed she was hardly looking up at all. When she got closer to him he took his hand and placed it under her chin and raised her head till she was looking into his eyes. He drew in a sharp breath as he looked at her bruised face.
She turned her head away, closing her eyes to fight back the tears that were forming when she heard him ask, "What happened?"
"Craig did this," she replied almost inaudibly as she climbed into the drivers seat of Bobby's car.
She saw the anger in Jimmy's eyes as he climbed into the passenger seat. He saw the tears in her eyes as she began to recount what had happened as she drove him to his apartment.
"If you need anything, please call me." He said, concern hinting in his voice before he got out.
She nodded her head weakly in response and drove off shortly after he'd walked through the door of his apartment complex. When she got home she didn't even lock the front door to her apartment her mind was so fried. She changed clothes and collapsed into bed and eventually cried herself to sleep.
The next morning Bobby woke up to the sound of the phone ringing in his room. When he answered he heard his mother on the other end of the phone. He could hear Joey playing with Keira in the background which brought a smile to his face as he spoke with his mother. Thirty minutes later the doctor walked in and he told his mother he'd call her back shortly. After being checked over by the doctor he was told, "Since you're not having any complications from the blow to the head you received, you can go home this morning. Although I wouldn't recommend you start back to work till next week though."
That was the best news Bobby had heard since he'd been admitted. He quickly picked up the phone and was about ready to call Kim, when he remembered she'd pulled a double with Alex and figured she would be asleep. He decided to surprise her by coming home and being there when she woke up and called his mother back to let her know he was being released.
An hour later he took a cab back to their apartment. When he got home he headed up to the floor the apartment was on and made his way down the corridor. When he reached the front door and turned the knob, he was alarmed to find the door unlocked and immediately became worried since the door was normally not unlocked.
All of a sudden a hand was clamped over her mouth and she felt herself being pulled back into one of the apartments. She tried to scream but all that escaped her mouth were garbled sounds. As she was forced into one of the apartments, the clasp to the necklace Bobby had given her when they started dating broke and fell to the ground.
