It was midnight at Haggerty's and Ty, Faith, Bosco, Carlos and Sully sat around a booth. Bosco explained to them what happened, and how he thought Mercedes had become addicted to Coke. They all shook their heads; never imagining her, of all people would get into that. She saw what it did to Mikey, but with her life the way it had been, it wasn't overly surprising. Sully looked at Bosco.
"How do you want us to help? I am not trekking it up to that boonies Cabin you dragged me to."
"We might have to. I have seen Mikey go through withdrawals. It is ten times worse than Alcohol. She could be trying to kill herself. Between the Vicodin and Cocaine, no wonder she looks like she does now." Bosco looked at Sully, his voice soft, and sounded sad.
"Look, we have to get a plan in order. I am not losing my sister like I lost my brother. Carlos, what do you think we should do?" Carlos shifted slightly at Bosco's question. He moved out of their apartment just 2 weeks ago, tired of Mercedes constant fighting with him. He never knew she was as bad as Bosco thought she was. He felt terrible now for not seeing the signs and shrugged.
"We would need medical supplies, no matter where we went. Cocaine withdrawal can lead to seizures, even Cardiac Arrest. We would have to stay someplace close to the hospital, but keep it far enough away from an influence. Why not our place? It's only 10 blocks from Mercy, and with you and me there, she won't get out to get anything. We could keep her in the bedroom and raid the house of any drugs. Pain meds or illegals."
"All right. We will do 2 team watches. Me and Ty, Carlos and Yokas, Sully, we'll need you to raid the place and make sure she has nothing in the house. A daily check. All right?" They all agreed and set their plan into motion. Carlos went back to the station with Ty and got extra supplies and an extra portable monitor, in case. Bosco, Yokas and Sully headed towards their apartment and waited for Carlos and Ty.
Once they all were together, they stormed into the building and moved into the apartment. All of the lights were out, and Sully began the search. Yokas helped him as Bosco searched the apartment slowly. God knows what she could do when high. He moved into his bedroom as Carlos moved into their bedroom. He turned on the light and let out a yell. Bosco ran in with Ty and saw Mercedes. She was in a halter top and shorts, completely unconscious, cocaine and Prozac and Vicodin on the night stand. Ty grabbed the bottles and looked at them as Carlos and Bosco moved her form the bed to the floor. Carlos checked for her pulse and looked at Bosco. He got out his stethoscope and listened for breathing.
