Kim got work early that day, and Bobby could tell she had slept with someone the night before.

"Who'd you screw?" Bobby asked.

"That's a little crude, don't you think?" asked Kim.

"Well, I know that look, so who was it?"

She shrugged. "Does it matter?"

"Was it Jimmy?"

"No! He was off with some blonde," she lied.

"Then who?"

She started downstairs, hoping he wouldn't keep up the conversation.

"Then who?" he repeated, following her downstairs, buttoning his work shirt as he went.

"I you must know, it was Bosco," she replied.

"You fucked Bosco!"

The rest of the guys were just sitting around the table, minding their own business until they heard what they were saying. They couldn't help but be intrigued by what looked like a really big argument starting right in front of them.

"What's so wrong about that?" Kim demanded.

"You go from Jimmy Doherty to Maurice Boscorelli, is that even an improvement?"

"I'm not gonna marry the man, I don't even want to see him again."

"Why do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Have one night stands.." He was starting to get annoyed with her.

"Why do you have them?"

"That's different!"

"How?"

"It just is!"

"Cause you're a man?"

"No!"

"Bullshit! It's cause I'm a woman! When a man goes off and sleeps around he's a fucking god! When woman sleeps around she's just a slut, who needs to keep her damn legs closed!"

"I never said that!"

"That's what you thought!"

"You have no idea what I think."

She shook her head. "I can sleep with whoever I damn well please, and you're going to stop me!'

"I just wish you would think before you opened your legs once in a while."

"If I thought before I let someone come crawling into my bed you certainly wouldn't have let you in!" She growled angrily.

"What because I actually LOVE you? Is that your problem?"

Neither of them seemed to notice the rest of the group gasping after he had said that. She didn't respond to what he had just said. She didn't know what to say, she couldn't believe he had said that.

"That's it isn't it! You'd rather spend the rest of your life fucking around with guys you hardly know, and who don't even love you! Just so you don't have to admit that you only married Jimmy cause he knocked you up!" he yelled.

She wanted to punch him. "You would like to think that wouldn't you? It has nothing to do with that!"

"Bullshit! I bet that you sleeping with Bosco had something to do with Doherty!"

"You don't even know me!"

He shook his head. "I know you better then anyone else here!"

"You'd like to think so, wouldn't you!"

"I bet you saw Jimmy going off with that blonde, and you couldn't handle it! You thought he'd go back to you! So you were so pissed off you went off and fucked the first guy stupid enough to look your way! Just like you do every time you feel rejected!"

"That's not it at all!"

"That's what did with me. You feel hurt and you have to find someone to have your way with, and then walk away from!"

"Bobby!"

"It's about time you be honest with yourself. You use your body to get what you want! When you find you leave your son at your mother's and get your rocks off!"

She slapped him in the face. "You have a funny way of showing a girl you care."

"That's the way like it isn't it? Maybe if I decided to be an asshole you might want me!"

She shook her head. "Do you even hear yourself, Bobby? We had a one night stand that's all it was!"

"That's all I am too you?"

"What?"

"What, what? If that's all I am to you, then maybe we shouldn't ride together anymore."

"Bobby?" she was a little worried.

"If all I am to you is some one night stand up there with the likes of Bosco, I don't think I want to ride with you anymore."

"Back the truck up! I never said anything like that!"

"I'm serious, Kim if I'm nothing to you, then I don't think I want to ride with you anymore."

Alex came into the firehouse, looking very confused as to what was going on, as Bobby stormed out of the firehouse towards one of the rigs.

"This is all YOUR fault!" Kim screamed in Alex's face, before going after Bobby.

"What did I miss and what did I do?" Alex asked, half smiling.

"I have no idea, Kim and Bobby are in a fight," DK replied.

"Ya think? I'm not stupid." She shook her head. "About what?"

DK was about to tell them that Kim had slept with Bosco, when Jimmy came inside before anyone could answer Alex's question.

"I'd get another medic out there, to help Bobby when Kimmy rips his balls off," Jimmy laughed. "Does anyone know what they're squabbling about now?"

"Not a clue, but apparently it's my fault," Alex laughed, nervously.

She was glad that no one seemed to notice that it was odd that had both arrived late, and within moments of each other.

"Bobby's pissed off cause Kim slept with Bosco," DK explained.

"What?" Jimmy asked.

"Yeah, you heard me right. Kim slept with Bosco."

"I'm gonna kick his ass!"

Alex wanted to say something, but she knew that if she did everyone would know that something was going on between her and Jimmy. Kim was his ex-wife, why would he care who she slept with?

Now Alex really wanted to know what the hell she had done to make Kim so angry with her. How could it possibly be her fault that Kim had decided to sleep with Bosco? She went outside to see to try and talk to Kim.

Bobby and Kim seemed to have calmed down, and they were now hugging, which she assumed meant they had figured everything out.

"Kim," said Alex.

"I don't want to talk to you," Kim said walking away, and back into the firehouse.

"What the hell?" Alex asked Bobby.

"Don't look at me, she didn't say anything to me about you," he replied.

Alex started to follow Kim inside, she wanted to know what she could have possibly done to incur her wrath. She thought for a moment, about the night before in the parking lot, with Jimmy. Had Kim seen something, and over reacted?

She and Jimmy obviously still cared about each other if Jimmy wanted to kick Bosco's ass for sleeping with her. She stopped for a moment, turned around, and looked at Bobby.

"Do Bosco and Doherty have some kind of hate thing going on?" Alex asked him.

"Some kind of hate thing? More like a feud, for a while there the Hatfield's and the McCoy's were taking notes for a while there. The two of them did some crazy shit to each other."

Alex nodded. "Thanks, you think I should see what's wrong with her?"

Bobby shrugged. "I couldn't see how it could hurt."

Alex could think of a couple of ways it could end badly. At least she knew why Jimmy was so pissed off when he had found out about Kim and Bosco. Although he had seemed to play stupid about unwritten rules, the one about not messing around with someone's ex was even more clear in a feud.

You simply didn't do it if you ever expected the feud to stop, because that was one of the lowest things you could do someone. Alex suddenly felt like shit for not telling Kim about what had happened between her and Jimmy.

She went in to see if she could find Kim, she was getting a drink, and trying to ignore Jimmy.

"Hey, Kim," Alex said, "can I talk to you?"

"I might listening," Kim replied.

"Look can we go upstairs? I'd rather not discuss it down here."

Kim shook her head. "In that case I don't want to listen."

"Kim, come on, please?"

"You know when you showed up here, I was really happy to have some more estrogen around here, even thought we might be friends. But right now I really couldn't care less if I get along with you."

"When did this happen?"

"Last night."

Alex's eyes dropped, she knew that Kim had defiantly seen her. Jimmy glanced at Alex, and then at Kim, He slunk slowly away, to stand with the rest of the guys, who were pretending not to be watching intently, hoping for a chick fight.

He too, realized that Kim had seen them in the parking lot after work the night before. Alex looked at her friend helplessly.

"Kim, I'm sorry," Alex said.

"What you don't want the guys to think you're like me?" Kim asked.

"I didn't say that!"

"You know it's not so bad being a girl sometimes!"

"I know that!"

"Look I don't care that you were with him, really. I don't even care that you don't want the other idiots around here knowing! But you should have told me about it, I thought you at least had some kind of respect for me!"

Bobby came in, and joined the group watching the two fight. He was a little puzzled, and wished he hadn't missed anything.

"This still about you?" Walsh asked.

"Doubt it."

"I'm sorry Kim, I had been drinking, and one thing lead to another," Alex explained.

"I can understand that, but you were drunk last night going off shift?"

Alex looked down at the floor. "No, but-"

"Then your excuse is shit! I don't really care if you wanna fuck around with him, really, I'm over him. I just thought you were my friend!"

"I know, and I should have told you, I just couldn't find the right time. I didn't want everyone knowing about it."

"Who the hell are they talking about?" DK asked.

Jimmy shrugged, knowing very well they were arguing about him. He was also quiet excited about the mounting chick fight that might happen because of him. It would be slightly better if they knew they were fighting about him, but if he knew Kim like he thought he did, she'd let it slip soon.

"I can understand how that could be a little embarrassing," Kim muttered.

"Hey, I'm nowhere near what you did with him!"

"Yeah, yeah, Kim's the stupid one again!"

"I'd never say anything like that!"

"You know what? I don't even care that we can't be friends, who needs women as friends anyway? They're all backstabbing bitches!"

"I didn't mean to stab you in the back, I didn't think you'd see me with him! I was going to tell you!"

"Bullshit!" She wanted turn away, but she was not going to lose the argument.

"I was, I just wanted to find the right time! I don't want everyone to know what was going on!"

"I don't even care about him anymore, you know that? He was just a big fucking mistake! Sure I got Joey out of the deal, but everything else wasn't even worth it!"

There was a collective gasp when everyone figured out that they were fighting about Jimmy. Jimmy couldn't help but smile just a little, he was quite proud of the scene that was unfolding before his eyes.

"So you know what you, Alex? You can have him! I'm done dealing with his bullshit! I don't need it anymore, you just take it all!".

"Unlike you, I can handle the big boys!" Alex spat.

"You'd like to think so, wouldn't you?"

"Just cause you keep him from fucking your sister, doesn't mean I'll make the same mistake!"

Everyone just stood there in shock, waiting for the real fighting to start. Kim wanted nothing more then to punch her. Bobby quickly realized that Kim was just about to blow. He went a little closer to her, just in case she lunged. Not that he thought he'd be able to stop her.

He knew that Kim had just forgiven her sister for everything. Bringing that up was a very low blow, and everyone knew it. As soon as the words had come out Alex regretted saying them, but she knew she couldn't take them back.

"Oh! Go fuck yourself!" Kim yelled. "Not that it's different from fucking Jimmy!"

Everyone was holding back laughter, except for Kim, Alex, and Jimmy. Kim realized that she, too, had crossed the line.

"That was a low blow, Kimmy," said Jimmy.

"And bringing up my sister was taking the high road?" Kim demanded.

"I didn't say it."

She shook her head. "I'm really pissed off right now, all right? If you don't want an even lower blow I'd suggest you keep out of my way for a couple days."

"Aw, Kimmy can't work this out?" he asked trying to be calm and in control of her.

"And while you're at it, start calling me KIM!"

"Come on, now."

"You're with Alex now, how about you pretend for a minute you know how to be with just one person!"

"Look, Kimmy, I just want to explain."

"Don't call me that! I feel like I'm in grade school again!" she snapped.

"But I've always called you-"

"Well stop! Just stop all right! Stop pretending you give a shit about me! Stop calling me Kimmy, just stop, all right Jimmy? I don't need your bullshit anymore. I can't do it anymore!"

"What are you saying?"

"You and I are history! Like we should have been a long time ago. We are co-workers, and we both have to deal with each other for our son's sake, that's it. Let's keep it that way from now on?"

Jimmy nodded. "Fine, if that's really what you want."

"Yeah."

"Uh, Kim, we got a call," Bobby told her, a little nervous about getting in the middle of it.

She had never been so glad to get a call before. She followed Bobby out to the bus, and they started toward the location.
