Craig was sipping on a beer that same morning when Marc came in and began
to talk with his cousin.
"How'd the whole poisoning thing go?" he asked.
"Worked like a charm," Craig replied with a grin.
"What did you give her?" Marc asked.
"Cyanide." He replied after taking a drink of beer.
"You went straight for the strong stuff." Marc said amazed he'd started with something that nasty.
"Yep. Don't worry I didn't use enough to kill her, that would have defeated the whole purpose of bringing you two out here if I'd done that." Craig said in response; "You two want to come with me so we can see how she's doing after her little incident?"
"Sure, plus we can finally see her before the next part of the plan goes into place." Marc replied.
"Yep, but keep in mind we will be at a distance, not up talking to her like I'm speaking with you right now. I'm pretty sure they've come to the conclusion it was me that put the powder in her drink." Craig warned.
"Doesn't mean we can't take pictures of her to add to your collection." Marc suggested.
"Go get your friend and we'll head out." Craig said, putting the beer bottle back in the fridge.
A short time later, Marc was driving, with Craig in the passenger seat and Tony in the back.
"Let's go by her apartment first and see if she's at home." Craig told his cousin, telling him how to get to where she lived.
"You got it." Marc replied, following the instructions he'd given him.
Several minutes later they slowed down and drove past the complex, noticing the Explorer was gone.
"Not home this afternoon eh Kimmy?" Craig asked himself.
"Where do you think she could be?" Tony asked from the back.
"You said she had two kids right?" Marc replied.
"Yeah. What are you getting at?" Craig asked.
"Maybe they went to a park or something." Marc suggested; "Where's the closest one to here and we'll check it out."
Craig gave him instructions on the nearest park and how to get there and the three of them set off. Five minutes later they pulled up and Marc heard Craig say, "Guess whose here."
Marc parked the car and Tony grabbed the camera bag so they could take pictures. The three of them walked along till they saw the group of six and took a seat on one of the benches a safe distance away so they wouldn't be noticed. Craig got the camera out and got it set up and got the lens set for the distance away they were and began to take pictures. To the average person it looked like he was taking pictures of the scenery of the park, but in all actuality that the last thing they had in mind of doing.
"I have to say Craig you certainly know how to pick a winner. She's definitely a hot little number if I do say so myself." Tony commented.
"Tony man, you should have seen her in the Bahamas. The little ice blue number she wore one afternoon would have blown your mind." Marc replied.
"What did this little number look like?" Craig asked.
"It was an ice blue bikini. The bottoms were high cut, which showed off her petite figure and made her legs look longer than they actually are. The top was moderately revealing as well." Marc replied.
The two men shuddered at the thought Marc had put into their minds of what she must have looked like.
"I would have given anything to have seen her in that." Tony replied, slightly jealous of Marc for having seen her in that outfit.
"I would have given anything to have had a camera to take a picture of her to show you all." Marc said in response.
"Who all is with her?" Tony asked.
"The light haired blonde is Alex, the Hispanic is Kim's husband Bobby, the other man with Alex is Jimmy, Kim's ex-husband. The two kids are Kim's, the littlest one's name is Keira, I never found out what the older one's name was." Craig replied taking another snapshot.
Tony nodded his head in response, watching from a distance what was going on. When the group they were photographing appeared to be getting ready to leave, they packed up and headed back to the car so they wouldn't be noticed, everyone except Craig that is.
Alex and Jimmy had left and Kim had begun to get everything ready to back home. While she was putting stuff in the basket, she got a strange feeling that she was being watched. She stopped what she was doing and looked around but didn't see anything out of the ordinary and went back to what she was doing. Bobby had taken a load of stuff to the car and was coming back for the next batch and noticed something wasn't sitting right with the way Kim was acting.
"Everything ok?" he asked, putting his hand on her shoulder.
Kim had been packing the last bit of stuff up when she jumped when she felt Bobby's hand on her shoulder.
"Bobby! Don't sneak up on me like that." She said, going back to packing the stuff up.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Everything ok?" he asked once more.
"I just got this weird feeling like we're being watched or something." She replied, glancing around the park again.
Bobby looked around and didn't see anyone suspicious or odd lurking around nearby at first. As he took another look around, he noticed an individual sitting several feet away that quickly averted his gaze from their direction when he began to look that way. Craig noticed that Bobby was looking in his direction and quickly picked up the paper he'd brought with him and began to read it to remain inconspicuous.
"I don't see anything out of the ordinary do you?" he asked, not wanting to cause her to worry.
"I'm probably just over reacting after everything that happened last week." Kim replied, standing up after finishing packing up the last bit of stuff.
"With everything that has happened you've got every right to be leery." Bobby said; "Let's get this stuff to the car and head home shall we?"
Joey was sitting on the blanket playing with Keira while they got everything ready to take to the car. Before Kim bent down to pick her up and put her in the stroller, Bobby said quietly, "We'll figure out who was behind the incident last week, don't ever think we won't." and gently leaned in to kiss her.
Craig watched from a distance with envy at what was going on.
"Soon enough Kimmy, you'll be mine and they won't be able to do anything to stop me." Craig said silently; "They won't be able to do a damn thing about it except suffer."
When the kiss between the two ended, Kim bent down and picked up Keira and fastened her into the stroller. Bobby folded up the blanket they'd been sitting on and passed it to Joey to carry as they headed out of the park towards the car. Craig had already headed out before they moved in the direction he'd been sitting in and was sitting in the car with Marc and Tony.
"When will the next part of the plan go into motion?" Tony asked, watching the group loading stuff into the car for the trip home.
"Lets wait a few weeks to let things die down a bit before we move ahead. I'm pretty sure they suspect it was me that did it so lets lay low a bit, then go ahead as planned." Craig said as Marc headed back to the apartment.
"Sounds good. We can also make any last minute modifications to the plan if need be before we set it into motion as well." Marc replied.
"Exactly. That way things will run smoothly and efficiently as well." Craig said in response, grinning evilly.
The weekend seemed to fly by faster than they expected, and before they knew it Monday morning was upon them. As the morning routine was under way things were in full swing as they got things ready for work that afternoon and took care of routine chores.
"You ready to hit the streets this afternoon?" Bobby asked as she sorted a basket of laundry.
"Of course," she replied smiling, tossing a pair of socks at his retreating back.
"What is this? A non lethal projectile?" he asked chuckling.
"You can be such a smart ass sometimes, you know that?" Kim said laughing as he threw the socks back at her.
"Oh I know alright." Bobby replied with a devious smile on his face.
Kim rolled her eyes and went back to folding the laundry while he went and checked on Keira.
That afternoon when they went into the firehouse, Faith and Bosco were waiting on them when they arrived.
"Any new leads?" Bobby asked.
"We're checking into Craig whereabouts. He must have moved recently because the address he had listed when he worked with you all is occupied by someone else. We're in the process of seeing if he's working around here and seeing what he's been up to since he seems to be the only likely suspect right now." Faith replied; "How'd everything go with Kevin last Friday?"
"It went well. It was interesting to hear what he saw. I still think Craig's the one that did it because we all know none of the guys over at the house would do anything to either of us. Craig's the only one that has ever given us any problems." Bobby replied.
"How are you feeling Kim?" Bosco asked.
"Much better. I haven't felt any longstanding effects from the cyanide so I'm ready to get back into the swing of things." She replied.
"It's good to see you back and in good shape after what happened last week." Faith said smiling.
"It's good to be back." Kim replied.
"You all have a safe shift." Bosco said as he and Faith headed over to the precinct.
"Thanks," Kim replied as she and Bobby headed in to get changed and start on inventory for the afternoon.
"How'd the whole poisoning thing go?" he asked.
"Worked like a charm," Craig replied with a grin.
"What did you give her?" Marc asked.
"Cyanide." He replied after taking a drink of beer.
