After the doctor had left he sat beside Kim and gently hugged her and said,
"You gave us all a rather big scare this afternoon."
"I'm just trying to figure out who could have done this. I know for a fact it wasn't anyone at the station because we all were outside at the same time with that kid." She said softly, still trying to think.
"Could it have been an outside job? Maybe the whole seizure thing was a set up to get us all out of there." Bobby said.
"But who masterminded it if it was?" she asked.
"The only person I can think of would be Craig. But it's been what several months since he left the station and last pulled something?" Bobby said.
"Right now he seems the only logical suspect till we can find out where he was." Kim replied, sighing softly; "Are the kids ok?"
"They're just fine. Your mom's watching them since I've been here since we brought you in. Joey was scared when he found out. Jimmy picked him and Keira up at my moms and brought them down here when he brought your mom down to see you." Bobby said in response.
That evening when his shift was over Jimmy and several guys from the firehouse were going to head to Mercy to see Kim. When they left, they saw Ty, Sully and Faith talking outside, Faith saw them leaving and wondered if they had heard anything else on Kim.
"How's Kim doing?" Ty asked.
"She's awake, I imagine they are keeping her overnight to make sure there aren't any longstanding effects from the cyanide but other than that she'd doing good." Jimmy replied to the three officers.
"That's wonderful news. If we hear anything tomorrow we'll let you all know if anyone happened to see anything." Faith said.
"Thanks. We appreciate you all helping us figure out who did this to her." Jimmy replied, as he, D.K and Lombardo climbed into his car.
"No thanks is necessary. You all look out for us and we'll look out for you. When someone messes with one of us they mess with everyone from the 55." Ty replied.
"Well said," D.K said.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and headed out for the evening. The three firefighters headed up to her room and saw Bobby heading down the hall with something to drink.
"Hey," Lombardo called out, getting Bobby's attention.
Bobby turned around seeing Jimmy, D.K and Lombardo heading down the hall.
"What's up?" Bobby asked.
"Not much, just thought we'd swing by to see how Kim's doing." D.K replied.
The group of four headed down the hall towards her room talking back and forth. Kim heard the voices and propped herself up on some pillows as they came in.
"How are you feeling?" Jimmy asked as he gave her a hug.
"Much better," she replied; "Ready to get out of here but that won't happen till tomorrow."
The group laughed and D.K said, "I think we've rubbed off on her. She hates being in here as much as we do."
They all sat around talking for about five minutes then D.K, Jimmy and Lombardo said their good-byes and headed home for the evening. Bobby stayed with her till she went to sleep and then left to head home to get some rest himself before he came back to get her that afternoon. The next morning Kim's mother brought Joey and Keira to see her before she came home. She'd called to make sure she was feeling ok before coming over, noticing Joey's excitement at seeing his mom. As they walked down the corridor to her room, Joey chattered happily all the way to her room and his face lit up when he saw his mother was going to be ok. When Keira saw her mother she began to coo again, and began to smile when she heard her mothers voice.
"How are you feeling?" Joey asked as he sat down on the side of her bed.
"Just fine sweetheart." She replied, giving him a hug.
"When can you come home?" he asked quietly.
"This afternoon. Nothing happened overnight so I'm in good shape to go." She replied, seeing the smile cross her son's face.
"I need to go run some errands. Joey, do you want to stay here for a while?" Kim's mother asked.
"Can I stay?" he asked.
"As long as you behave yourself you can." His grandmother replied smiling; "I'll take Keira with me if that's ok and bring her back."
"That's fine, I doubt they would let her stay for an extended amount of time because of her age and the type of floor I'm on." Kim said.
Several minutes later her mother and Keira left and she and Joey started in chitchatting. There wasn't anything good to watch on TV so they had to think up something else to do.
Kim went through the small table next to the bed and found a deck of cards one of the guys must have left and said, "Up for a game of cards?"
"Yeah," Joey replied excitedly.
"What do you want to play?" she asked as she shuffled the cards.
"How about rummy." Joey suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Kim replied smiling as she dealt the cards out.
Bobby left around 11 to head to the hospital and spend time with Kim before she came home. He'd tried calling her mother but got no response so he figured she'd gone out for a bit. As he headed down the corridor he heard giggling coming from her room and saw Joey and Kim laughing as they played cards.
"I didn't think parties were allowed in the hospital," Bobby said smirking as Kim looked up when she heard his voice.
"Very funny," she replied as he headed over to where she and Joey were.
"What have you been up to today kiddo?" Bobby asked, ruffling Joey's hair.
"Not much, we came by here nana and Keira went to run some errands and I stayed here. We've been playing cards for a while and talking that's about it." He replied.
"You wanna play?" Kim asked.
"Deal me in." he replied, pulling a chair up to the side of the bed.
Around 1:30 the doctor came back in and went over the discharge papers with her. He didn't want her going back to work for a couple of days just to make sure she was up to par. Her mother and Keira came back ten minutes after the doctor left and they all left together and headed home.
"Can we stop by the station so I can tell Doc when I'll be back?" she asked as they headed home.
"Sure, everyone from our shift should be starting to come in. I'm sure everyone will be happy to see you." he replied as they pulled into the station.
When she walked in all the guys were upstairs bickering about a football game that was on TV. Bobby was carrying Keira and Joey was walking alongside Kim when they all headed towards the group. Walsh looked up from the TV and saw her coming and said, "They let you go already?"
"Yep, I came to talk to Doc to let him know I'd be back in a couple days. The doctor wants me to take it easy for at least a day before I start back into the swing of things." She replied.
"If you would have come back today we wouldn't have let you work after what you went through yesterday." Jimmy said, opening a bottle and taking a seat in one of the recliners.
Bobby and Joey stayed and watched the some of the game between the Cincinnati Bengal's and the Atlanta Falcons while Kim went to talk to Doc.
"Hey Joey, who you think will win?" Jimmy asked his son.
Joey studied the screen for a moment and replied, "I think it will be Atlanta that wins."
"I thought you used to like the Bengal's." Jimmy said, shooting a look at Bobby.
"I did but I have a feeling they're gonna get beat." Joey replied, settling in with the rest of the firefighters and paramedics to watch some of the game.
A short time later Doc came in and headed upstairs and saw Kim and asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Much better." She replied; "I came to talk to you about coming back to work in a couple days. The doctor at the hospital suggested I take a couple of days to get back in the swing of things to make sure I'm up to par after yesterday."
"Sounds like a good plan. After yesterday a couple days recoup time couldn't hurt." Doc said.
That afternoon when Faith went into the precinct to get ready for her shift and found a note waiting on her at the desk as she came in. After picking up the note she proceeded to the locker room to change for her shift and sat down on the bench and unfolded the note. She was thrilled to read that someone might have noticed something odd that happened at the firehouse and quickly got ready so she could talk with this person. Bosco noticed something different about Faith and asked, "What's up with you?"
"We might have a lead as to what happened yesterday afternoon at the firehouse." Faith said shutting her locker and heading out the door.
"Officer Yokas?" a voice asked as she left.
"Yes," she replied, turning around.
"I'm Officer Kevin Newman, I might have seen something yesterday and heard you were looking into what had happened." The young officer said.
"Let's go in here and talk," she said as she headed back into the locker room since Bosco was the only other person in there.
Kevin nodded his head and followed her back into the locker room. Bosco looked up and saw them coming in
"Kevin, do you feel comfortable speaking in front of my partner Bosco?" she asked.
He nodded his head and replied, "That's fine."
"Tell me, what did you see yesterday afternoon?" Faith asked.
"My partner and I had just come back in from making an arrest and he'd started the paperwork and I came back out to get something out of the RMP. I saw what happened with the kid and watched for a bit and went back inside. My partner asked me to go back out and get something out of the RMP for him, when I came back out I'd just gotten into the car and reached over and got what he needed and was about ready to get out when I saw a white guy about 6'2 with brownish black hair leaving the firehouse rather quickly. I got a pretty good look at the guys face so if I ever saw him again I'd recognize him, he had a suspicious aire about him that I picked up on immediately but what I noticed was odd was he was wearing a paramedic T-shirt." Kevin said to the two officers.
Faith made notes as the officer spoke so she could ask the guys across the street if they knew anyone that fit that description.
"We'll probably need to talk to you again after we go see if anyone across the street can come up with a possible suspect." Faith said.
"That's fine. If you don't mind me asking, what happened after that guy left?" Kevin asked.
"One of the medic's across the street was poisoned yesterday." Faith replied, seeing a look of horror cross the young man's face.
"Is the person going to be ok?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah, the antidotes the doctors had to give her neutralized what she took in. She woke up last night and I imagine they'll probably release her from the hospital sometime today." Faith said.
"We'd better be heading to roll call, thank you for the information. I really appreciate it." Faith told Kevin.
"My pleasure. I just hope what I saw helps. Because that poor woman's family must have been scared to death when they heard about that." Kevin said, walking with them towards roll call.
"They were. Her husband works with her over at the station. I imagine her kids were also frightened." Faith replied.
After she'd talked to Doc, Bobby took her Joey and Keira home for the afternoon and returned for his shift. She spent the day primarily relaxing, but spending some quality time with her children. Occasionally the thought of Craig being the one who'd poisoned her ran through her mind, wondering if her children could be in danger. She pushed the thought from her mind, not wanting to dwell on that thought. It was bad enough Craig was putting her and her family through all this but if he ever laid a hand on her children that would be the last straw.
"I'm just trying to figure out who could have done this. I know for a fact it wasn't anyone at the station because we all were outside at the same time with that kid." She said softly, still trying to think.
"Could it have been an outside job? Maybe the whole seizure thing was a set up to get us all out of there." Bobby said.
