**********Oh I'd also like to thank Officer Durham for her help with this story*******

Over the next couple of weeks Ty got used to living in NYC again and also became an integrated member of the team. During this time she also met the guys from the precinct across the street, she became good friends with Ty Davis and Faith Boscorelli. Well in July everyone decided to throw a combined 4th of July and birthday party for Ty. They decided to have the party at a park that also had a baseball diamond. Everyone brought their families to the event since they all had the day off. Jimmy and Ty were sitting at a picnic table with Joey talking about the great times they'd had together in the past until brook came along.

" So what were you three talking about?" Brook asked joining them and leaning into Jimmy.

" Nothing" Joey replied then turning to Ty " can come to my soccer game next weekend?"

" Sure Joey I'd love to come to your game. How about you go and play with some of the other kids and let us old people talk."

" Hey, talk for yourself!" Jimmy exclaimed from the other side of the table. While they started talking Joey got up and joined the other kids.

" Jimmy you're older than me so if I get older, so do you. I realize that your ego won't let you admit that but you should face facts."

" Gee thanks, with friends like you I don't need any enemies."

" So how do you two know each other?" Brook asked all of a sudden feeling slightly jealous of the banter between Jimmy and Ty.

" Well I met Jimmy when I went to the Academy…" Ty answered.

" They always ask old recruits to come back and tell the new guys what life on the job is like. Well Ty was in that class and we got talking after words, so we started hanging out and I helped her train. After she graduated we still hung out, and she'd sometimes watch Joey for me." Jimmy said with a smile on his face.

" Ah that's nice." Brook replied her voice laced with sarcasm.

" Hey are you two gonna join us, its F.D. versus P.D. in a baseball game." Kim yelled running up to them.

" Hell yeah" exclaimed Ty " I would love to kick PD's ass, one it would give us bragging rights and two I can rub both Davis and Bosco's face in it."

With that said they joined the others on the diamond and started the game. When it was all over the score was P.D. 4 -F.D. 8, " Hey where did you learn to play like that?" asked an exhausted Bosco.

" I played softball in high school and our team won All State." Ty replied smirking.

" No fair." Davis whined.

Alex came up behind him and said " Do you want some cheese with that wine baby?"

" No Smart Ass I don't."

But what Ty didn't realize was that all of this was just a distraction meant for her because all of a sudden D.K. and Jimmy dumped one of the ice chest over her head and then started running away to a safe distance.

" Ah!" She yelled turning around while the others laughed " James Scott Doherty get your sorry Ass back over here, and you to D.K. I swear to god if you make me chase you I will make your life at the house a living nightmare. Starting with itching powder in some very undesirable places."

" Ok, we're coming back" they said in unison heading back to the others. When the guys reached a very wet Ty she slapped both of them across the back of the head.

" Don't ever do that again, or you will both be speaking in high pith squeaks for the rest of your lives. Is that clear?"

" Crystal" both men replied in unison again.

Later that night while everyone was cleaning up Brook decided she needed to have a heart to heart with Ty.

" So how close were you and Jimmy before you left?" Brook asked.

" That's none of your business, but if you rally want to know why don't you get your husband to tell you."

" Stay away from my husband."

" Brook I'm not after your husband, he and I are friends, have been for sometime now and that's all. So get the hell out of my face Brook." Ty said grabbing her stuff walking over to D.K. " So you still giving me a ride home tonight."

" Sure, you ready?" D.K. asked.

" Yeah I've had enough for one night."

" Alright."

So they left together. Once they arrived at her place she invited him in for a cup of coffee. Once both were seated in the living room D.K. started the conversation " so what was that argument between you and Brook about?"

" Oh she was telling me to stay away from Jimmy, I think she's jealous of our friendship."

" So what did you tell her?"

" I told her to go to hell, and I also told her if she wanted to know about our past she should ask him and then I walked away?"

" You mean she doesn't know about your past?"

" Nope and what do you know?"

" Everything, Jimmy needed someone he could confide in and that someone was me."

" I guess you hate me then for what I did?"

" Ty I don't hate you. Different people grieve in different ways, but since I do know what happened if you ever need anyone to talk to I'm here."

" Thanks D.K.. Oh if you need a place to crash tonight you can have the spare bed."

" Sounds like a plan."
