"Carlos! Hey, wait a sec." Kim caught the other medic as he walked out of the 55th Precinct.

Carlos turned. "Hey Kim. Isn't today your day off?"

"Yeah. Could you do me a huge favor and send Jimmy down? I wanna talk to him but I don't want an audience."

"Yeah. Sure."

"Thanks," Kim leaned against the side of the firehouse as she waited for Jimmy to come down.

"Kim?"

She looked up. "Hey Jimmy. Can you take Joey tonight?"

"Why?"

"Cause, I don't want to stick my mom with both him and Johnny and you're always saying how you don't get to see him enough so I thought I'd offer you a chance to spend some time with him but if you don't want to then he can stay at my mom's," Kim said.

"No. It's fine. I'll take him I was just wondering why the sudden offer?"

"Look, are you gonna examine my every move?"

"No."

"Good. Pick Joey up when you get off. He'll be at my mother's." Kim turned around and started to walk away.

"Kim!"

She turned around. "What?"

"What's going on?"

"Nothing. I'll see you later."

"You can't lie to me. You never could," he closed the gap between them. "I know you better then you like to admit."

"Back off Jimmy," Kim said sternly. "It's none of your business."

"It is when you ask me to take Joey."

"If it is such a problem for you to have your son with you for the night then by all means, forget I asked. He'll be fine at my mother's," Kim turned and stalked away.

Bosco looked disgustedly at his brother as he stood over the sink. Drugs had always bothered him but more so since last year when they'd lost Bobby. There are just some things that stay with a person and knowing that someone held a gun to your wife's head so he could get to a needle was one of them.

"So, what's up Maurice?" Mikey asked, straightening up.

"Just felt like saying hi," Bosco said as they went and took seats at the bar.

"Ma told me you got married."

"About a year ago." Bosco said.

"Right. And you had a baby?"

"A couple months ago, yeah. His name is John Robert."

"Nice. What's your wife like?"

"Kim's the best," Bosco said quietly. "I was wondering if you'd heard from Dad."

"Aw man. Why do you wanna go bother him?"

"I just wanna talk to him. I take it you do know where he is?"

"He's driving a cab."

"How do I get in touch with him?"

^~^~^~^~^~^~^

Kim sat on the steps of the police station bent over, her forehead resting against her knees and her hands resting on the back of her neck.

"You keep sitting like that and someone's gonna arrest you."

Kim picked her head up. Ty Davis was standing the steps next to her with two cups of coffee. He handed her one and sat down. He was in street clothes now.

"So, how much trouble do you think I'll be in when Christopher finishes talking with Lieu?"

"Sully told me that your Lt. hates our sergeant," Ty told her. "I doubt he'll do anything harsh. Besides it's not like you're a cop."

"No, I'm just married to one. One Jason hates more then life itself. One whose life he can make miserable."

"Not over this though."

"It's over right? They have the person who did this?"

"Yeah Kim they got her."

"Not that I blame her. I'd do the same thing if someone hurt my child like that."

"Yeah. Me too."

"Go home Ty. I'll be okay. I'm waiting for Faith. She and I are gonna walk to the trains and go home together."

"You sure? I'll wait."

"Get outta here. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Night," Ty said, pushing himself up and walking away.

"Night," Kim echoed.

She looked up at the sky and debated calling the machine to check messages again but decided she could wait till she got home. Besides she'd only checked ten minutes ago. She could wait another fifteen or so.

"Kim? What are you doing here?"

Kim looked at the source of the voice and got up. First she hugged him. Then she hit him in the arm with a "Don't you ever scare me like that again," and then she hugged him again.
