Carlos looked up at Doc, waiting for an explanation about the phone call. Bosco was sitting down with a pile of food on his plate. He loved all you can eat buffets. Faith looked at Doc, biting into a Crab Rangoon. Doc hung up the phone and looked at the group.
"Kim and Mercedes can't make it." That was all he said as he got a fork full of Pork Spareribs and took a bite. Carlos looked at Doc, stunned. Why wasn't he talking? Was something wrong with his wife? Something that he couldn't tell him? Blinking a few times, he slammed his fist down o the table, sending his fork flying into the air and falling to the floor.
"Well? Why can't they make it? You said something about being sick? Is Mercedes all right? Talk Doc!" Doc looked at Carlos, and blinked a few times.
"All Kim said was that they went to a scene, and Mercedes couldn't handle what she saw."
"What kind of scene?" Bosco knew his sister didn't get sick easily. She had seen things that turned his skin white.
"She said some guy beat up his wife and when Mercedes walked in, she asked Davis to take over and ran out the building."
"Damn it." Carlos looked at his plate pushed it away. Even though he was still the same old Carlos, knowing what his wife must have gone through made his stomach turn. Yokas saw him shove the plate away and shrugged, finishing her Rangoon. Bosco didn't even seemed fazed. Of course he was worried about his sister, but he knew she was in good hands with Kim, Davis and Sully. He was starving, so he continued on eating like it was his last meal. Carlos got up from the table and headed towards the bathroom when 2 masked men ran into the building and started screaming for everyone to get on the floor. Bosco almost choked on his food as Yokas stood up. Doc heard the guy and proceeded to move to the floor. Carlos looked confused and was knocked into one of the guys by a screaming woman. The jolt freaked one of the gunmen out. Spinning quickly he shot Carlos in the side.
Feeling the sudden pain of a gunshot, he fell to his knees, looking towards Doc with a panicked look on his face before falling forward to the floor.
"Carlos!" Doc cried out.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Kim still waited, impatiently. Davis brought her and Sully some coffee since none of them could leave until she was done. Proctor walked out and passed a chart to the desk nurse and turned towards Kim with a smirk.
"She's all set, she's just getting her clothes on. She'll be out in a minute." That sly smirk still across her face, she walked off. Kim looked lost as Davis just shrugged and Sully stood up. Coming out of the room a moment later, fixing her collar, Kim looked at her.
"Everything all right?" Kim asked warily staring Mercedes down for any hint of what was going on.
"Yeah, fine. Just a stomach bug." She was lying through her teeth. Kim knew this and went after her, calling in that they were available. When they got to the bus, Sully and Davis walked towards their RMP as a call came over their radio.
"55 Charlie."
"This is 55 Charlie" Davis talked into the radio.
"55 Charlie respond to the Chinese Panda restaurant. Confirmed shots fired."
"55 Charlie responding" Davis looked at Sully. That's where they were supposed to meet Bosco and Yokas for dinner. Kim and Mercedes looked towards them knowing that's where Doc and Carlos went. Jumping to the Bus both vehicles pulled out of the Bay and sped towards the scene.
"Please. Let them be all right." Mercedes said softly as Kim followed 55 Charlie.
"Kim and Mercedes can't make it." That was all he said as he got a fork full of Pork Spareribs and took a bite. Carlos looked at Doc, stunned. Why wasn't he talking?
