Alex was very pissed off that Jimmy had gone off in search of Bosco instead of helping her field questions about what was going on between them. She didn't like the idea of having to be ganged up on, three against one.

She knew she had to talk to Jimmy about why he thought it was more important to talk to Bosco about his ex wife, then help her with the situation she had dreaded. She knew what she had with Jimmy was not too serious, but she had thought he'd actually be there for her when everyone else found out.

As soon as Lieu had gone into the office, and Doc and Carlos left for their first run, she knew that there was no turning back. She knew that DK, Walsh, and Lombardo would not let up until they got the information she didn't want to share.

"So you decided to go for Doherty, huh Taylor?" asked Walsh.

Alex shook her head. "I so do not want to discuss this!"

"Aw, but we always share the details."

"Come on guys, you don't wanna know about Ji- Doherty being naked."

"We've seen him naked, and we got lots of questions about what you look like in your birthday suit."

"Then find Doherty and ask him your questions."

"But you're here," Lombardo reasoned.

"Do you think that if you piss me off enough I'll spill?"

Lombardo shrugged. "Come on, Taylor, at least tell us how it all started?"

"I was drunk, do I really need to say anything else?"

"We knew that already."

"Why didn't I take you home?" Walsh asked, shaking his head.

Alex thought he sounded a little disappointed She tried to shrug the thought away, but it was hard, since he was now almost staring at her.

"Who said she's screw you if she was drunk around you?" Lombardo asked.

"Come on, you don't think I got something on Doherty?"

"I really don't know about that!" DK laughed. "I don't really compare guys."

Walsh laughed. "I'm glad you don't!"

"Though I'm sure that the lovely Miss Taylor should be able us to tell us what Doherty's got that we don't."

"So, Taylor, why Doherty?" asked Walsh.

She shrugged. "Why not?"

"Come on, you gotta give us more then that!"

"I don't gotta do anything. Fuck you!"

"Not sure Doherty would like that," Lombardo said.

"I certainly wouldn't want to get whatever it is Bosco's gonna get, from him. That's for damn sure!" laughed DK.

"Yeah, he looked pretty pissed at Boscorelli for, well you know," Walsh reasoned.

"If I was dating Kim I'd be pretty pissed at anyone who looked at her!" DK exclaimed.

"Yeah, I know, me too," said Lombardo. "But they're not dating, they're divorced, at some point he's gotta realize other guys are gonna want their way with her!"

"Still, I mean when you're in a truce with a guy you just don't fuck around with his exes, it's not a good way to keep the truce,"

"Yeah, it's one of those unwritten rules. I mean if you get along it's just a matter of asking, right Taylor?"

Alex shook her head. "Look, I was drunk, and I was gonna tell her."

"Sure, sure."

"I feel like shit for her finding out the way she did."

"What did happen for her to find out?" asked Lombardo.

"We thought everyone was gone when we left together, we wrong."

"Damn, she's the queen of the non-detail!"

"Yeah, we're looking for something juicy to get Doherty on!" DK exclaimed.

"I don't really have anything," she lied.

She chuckled to herself thinking back to when Jimmy referred to his penis as "Little Jimmy." But she wasn't going to share that information with them.

"You're laughing at something over there, Taylor," Lombardo said.

"None of your damn business!" she snapped.

The three fireman realized that they were not getting any information from her, and weren't sure that they actually would. She was quiet tough, and she was not letting anything slip that she didn't want out.

She hadn't even wanted the fact she was sleeping with Doherty out, and had Kim not mentioned her son they probably wouldn't even know who they had to tease her about stealing from Kim.

"I'm still pissed that it didn't turn into a chick fight, earlier" Walsh joked.

"Yeah, me too!" Lombardo agreed. "Who'd you pick to win?"

"I'd take Taylor, for sure," Walsh answered. "You?"

"I'd have to go with Kim, she scares me! Hey! DK, you're the tie breaker, who would you pick to win a chick fight, Kim or Taylor?"

DK wasn't sure what to say on the subject. He thought Kim could probably take Taylor, but he wasn't sure that he wanted to incur Alex's wrath if he said so.

"DK?" asked Lombardo.

"I'm thinking."

"Think fast!"

"I gotta go with Kim on the fly. Sorry Taylor, I've seen her go few rounds with Jimmy, and that girl she scares me to death when she's pissed.."

"Yeah when she's all worked up about something she's like a damn hurricane," Walsh laughed.

Lombardo laughed. "I don't know how Doherty made it through the divorce with no battle scars."

"I'm surprised you didn't get anything, bringing up her sister like that, Taylor," Walsh told her. "I mean I woulda jumped in to defend you, but Kim's fast."

Alex shook her head. "I wouldn't have needed you, or anyone else to save me."

Alex didn't like where this conversation was going either, but it was better then having them asking her questions about Jimmy. She was still upset that Kim had told everyone, but knew that she had a lot more to apologize to Kim about.

"So you woulda just let it happen?" asked Lombardo.

"I would have fought back, if I had to, but I don't think either of us are stupid enough to get into a physical fight around here."

"Why?" asked DK, innocently.

"You'd probably pull out a hose to soak us down and make it more exciting."

"Hmm, I like that idea!" Walsh exclaimed.

"Or get a kiddy pool of Jell-O for them," Lombardo suggested.

"That would be sexy!" exclaimed DK.

"What would be sexy?" Jimmy asked returning.

"Kim and Taylor fighting in a kiddy pool full of Jell-O," Lombardo told him.

"No smoochies for the fine Miss Taylor?" asked Walsh, with a laugh.

Jimmy shook his head. "I think she'd rip my balls off if I tried that. And I need those for other things."

He laughed nervously, and then glanced over at Alex. She shook her head, but didn't seem upset with his comment. He was glad.

"So are we talking about using Jell-O gelatin or Jell-O pudding?" asked Jimmy, egging them on.

"I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to let the ladies decide," Lombardo explained.

"Yeah, that would probably work out."

"It's not going to happen! There's no way you could get me to fight with anyone in pool of anything," Alex said firmly.

"Everyone has a price," reasoned DK.

"For what?" asked Bobby, who had just come in.

Kim followed close behind. "What are we talking about?"

"They're talking about and me fighting in a pool of Jell-O," Alex explained.

"Pudding or gelatin?" asked Bobby.

"Their choice," Lombardo replied.

"I'd go with gelatin, it would be interesting. But you'd have to give me a fair chunk of change to get me to do it," Kim laughed.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean it would be really interesting just to be in a small pool of Jell-O don't you think? A Jell-O fight could be fun. I bet you could get a bunch of people to pay to watch you boys with your shirts off having a Jell-O fight."

Jimmy shook his head. "You think?"

"Hey they have those charity bachelor actions and you guys get the call for those all the time. Women have a thing for firefighters!"

"She's got a point there," Alex laughed.

"That what you became one?" asked Walsh.

"Nope."

"Yeah, but if we had this charity Jell-O fight, for our enjoyment we'd wanna have the two resident females rolling around in some Jell-O too."

"Not gonna happen," Alex said firmly.

"You're just no fun!"

She shrugged. "I guess I'm not."

"Maybe we should ask Doherty?" DK laughed.

"I'm not stupid enough to let that out," Jimmy laughed. "Not with both of 'em around."

Kim shook her head. "I'm going upstairs."

Bobby followed her upstairs, not wanting to get in the middle of whatever conversation might be coming next.

"So what's the verdict, on Alex's fun factor?" asked Walsh.

"I'm not getting my ass kicked, if you want to know anything you gotta ask her."

Alex was pleased with Jimmy's answer. Not that she was going to give them any answers.

Lombardo was about to start bombarding Alex with questions when the fire bell went off. The group got ready, and got in the truck. As soon as Lieu was there everyone was quiet. It was one of the most quiet rides any of them had ever been on.
