The detectives jump to their feet and rush to the direction of the scream. Once they're there they push themselves through the crowd.
"Let him through! Let Bobby through! He's a cop!" Wails Candy, frantically as she kneels next to Frankie who is pale as a ghost.
"What happened?" Bobby asks, dropping to his knees down next to Candy.
Alex does the same and immediately unbuttons Frankie's shirt. "Did someone call 911?" She yells.
"Yes!" Someone shouts from the crowd.
"What is she doing?" Protests Candy to Bobby.
"Its okay, Eames...Alex has medical training. She knows what to do." Bobby replies gently, failing to mention that it was basicly just CPR training but Alex always seemed to surprise him, as he puts an arm around Candy's shoulders.
Candy bites her lip as she watches Alex checks for a pulse and then begins to administer CPR and mouth to mouth.Ten minutes go by before an ambulance appears.
Alex gets to her feet and steps aside to allow the paramedics to take over.
Putting an oxygen mask over his nose and mouth the paramedics strap Frankie onto a gurney and loads him into the ambulance.
Candy quickly thanks Bobby and Alex as she is helped into the waiting vehicle. The sirens sound as they pull away.
"Do you think that was a heart attack?" Bobby asks, turning to Alex.
"It's the only logical explanation, Bobby." Alex replies, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. "It came on rather suddenly, but that's the way it happens. Most people aren't even aware that they have a heart condition until their first attack." She shrugs. "Happened to my dad when he was still with the force. One minute he's drinking cofffee and eating donuts with his partner and the next he's being rushed to the hospital."
"Two heart attacks in one day Alex. It's almost like something..." Bobby starts.
"No, don't even say fishy." Replies Alex slowly pushing her way through the crowd and back to their table. She sits down and pokes her fork at a piece of now cold hotdog. "This is your high school reunion, not one of our cases."
"I know that." Bobby says, as he pushes his plate aside. He watches Alex finish the rest of her dinner. "Sometimes it just takes a little bit of effort for me to realize that."
Alex takes the last bite of her dinner and finishes off with a sip of beer. "What's next on the agenda? Its only seven o'clock."
"Nothing really important, just time to mingle with my classmates." Bobby replies, looking over his shoulder at several couples embracing.
"So...mingle." Alex makes shooing motions with her hands. "There must be some people that you want to see? You must have had a best friend in high school that you want to find?"
"My best friend is right here." Bobby gives her a smile. "And there is no where I would rather be."
Alex gives a little embarrassed smile.
Bobby gets up out of his chair and extends his hand to Alex. "Let me show you around my school, Eames. It's open house at Amherst Central High School and you've got the tour guide with the best memory in the entire class."
Alex chuckles as she allows herself to be pulled out of her seat. She tucks her arm in Bobby's as he leads her toward the lit high school.
