Entering the station she realized nothing much had changed there either. After greeting some of the officers she knew she went back to her father's office to phone for a ride.

"Dad?" She said coming into the office. She noticed someone was sitting in her father's chair looking out the window. He turned around to reveal a face she hadn't seen in quiet some time. "Kenny? Is that you?" She could tell he was shocked to see her and that he was upset. In fact it looked as if he had been crying. "Kenny what's wrong?"

"Kim? I can't believe it's you." He said still in shock. He felt his face getting flushed with embarrassment when he realized she had caught him crying. "When did you get back?"

"My plane arrived a few hours ago. Are you okay Kenny?"

"Yeah, I guess." He said not really wanting to burden Kim with his troubles. She read right through him, she always could.

"You are not. What's up?" She walked over to him and sat on her father's desk. All of a sudden he broke down crying. He leaned forward and put his head in her lap. It had been a very long since she had had to comfort a man, let alone Kenny. "Tell me Kenny."

"She left. She took my baby and left." He said through sobbing tears.

"Who left? Max?"

"I came home this morning after a night shift and we got into another fight. She said she was moving to Chicago and that she was taking Katie." Kim didn't know what to do. She knew that Katie was Kenny's life. She remembered when the little girl was born. He was the happiest man in town for the rest of the year. He was amazing with her. How could Max take that from him? Kenny lifted his head and clued in that he hadn't seen Kim in over two years and five minutes after she returns he is pouring his heart out to her. He started to wonder why she was at the station. Jimmy had long since gone home. "Kim did you need something?" He asked looking up at her.

"No it's okay. I was just going to call home for a ride. I didn't feel like walking all the way home."

"I can give you a ride. I am not on shift."

"Are you sure you should be driving?"

"I'm fine really and I could use the distraction."

"Well okay. Let me call home and let them know I am fine." Kim called home and told her mother that Kenny was going to drive her home and that she may be a little late so not to wait up. Kenny wiped his face and the two of them left the station. "Kenny, why don't we go and get something to drink? My treat."

Kenny agreed and they stopped for coffee. They grabbed a booth in the back. They mostly talked about Kim's life in California. Kenny didn't really want to talk but listening to her stories did make him feel a little better, or at least distracted him from thinking about his own life. Before they knew it three hours had passed.

"Kenny I think I should be getting home. Dad will probably be waiting up for me even though I told them to go to bed. You know I am 26 years old and he still thinks of me as a little girl."

"Kim I know what he feels. I can't believe that Katie is already six. I remember the first time I held her like it was yesterday. I can imagine what he went through waiting up all night when you were a teenager just to make sure you did come home and now seeing you as a self-sufficient women, determined by her own goals and running her life alone has to be hard. Believe me when I say that you will never understand until you become a parent. Let's go I don't want him to worry." Kenny stood up and helped Kim with her jacket. She always thought of him as a true gentleman.

The ride home was quiet and at the same time completely comfortable for both of them. When he pulled into the Brocks driveway Kim thanked him for the ride and Kenny thanked her for listening to him and said he would see her tomorrow.
