Kim sat on top of her bed in her childhood bedroom. Johnny was asleep in a
crib a few feet away. She had finished talking to the police a little
while ago and now Bosco was getting their game plan in figuring out where
Jimmy was and if he had indeed kidnapped Joey.
She wasn't mad at her mother. Catherine had just been trying to help after all. She'd just tried to make Jimmy see the truth. Unfortunately Kim had learned something a long time ago about making Jimmy see the truth.
It didn't work.
And she should know.
Kim sighed as she stretched out her legs and lay down on her back. She stared up at the ceiling until she heard the bedroom door open.
"I'm awake," she said quietly.
"You shouldn't be," was the answer as the door shut.
She smiled and scooted over. Bosco joined her in bed and pulled her into his arms.
"So, what's the scheme Bos?"
"They're watching the firehouse and his place for any signs of him."
"What about his folks?"
"Yeah, I told them the address. They said they'd post a guy there to watch."
"Just so long as it isn't Jason Christopher, I'll be happy."
"I've been meaning to ask you about him. What did you say to him? Davis said you told him off a little."
"Maybe a little."
"Kim."
"It was when I.A. came knocking on our door. When I was down at the station waiting to hear something from you I heard him say something about how he wasn't surprised you'd screwed up and then he said you were probably in the wind and then he said he always knew that this day would come. That's when I got a little pissed off."
"Not upset?"
"No I moved right past upset," Kim smiled.
"So? What did you say?"
"I told him he needed to get over the past and that it wasn't entirely your fault that his fiancée slept with you. It takes two to do what you did. Then he said that I just better cut my losses and move on. That's when I called him a self-serving jerk with a very small penis."
"You didn't."
"Oh but I did and in front of most of the officers on the third watch too."
"Man, would I have liked to have seen that," Bosco chuckled.
"Best part?"
"There's more?"
"Yep. My Lt. doesn't like your Sgt. so I got away with it."
Bosco grinned. "Lucky girl."
"Aren't I though?"
"Did it work?" He asked a moment later.
"For a little while," she smiled at him. "Thanks for trying."
"We'll find him. We'll find him and bring him home," Bosco murmured before he kissed her temple.

Jimmy looked at Joey, who was asleep in the passenger seat. They had just crossed the border into Massachusetts and dawn was a few hours away. It was time to stop for the night.
