It's not much, but hey it's a start!

"I can't leave Davis" Sully protested, "I need to know he's going to be alright"

"Sure no problem, I'll go to the site of the bus, see what I can find out" Faith answered before turning to Levine "you say Monroe was there right?"

"Yeah, yeah, definitely Monroe" she answered through teary eyes.

"There's nothing you could have done, you know that" Kim had seen how emotional Levine had got, but she didn't what her to completely lose it, that wouldn't help anyone "come on, we'll go with Faith, ok"

Levine nodded and sniffed wiping the tears from her face, as she followed Kim to their bus, Faith patted Sully on the back "let me know, ok" her thoughts were torn between the state of Ty and the location of Bosco, leaving Sully was hard but she knew Proctor would take care of him, Bosco it seemed had no one right now.

Jimmy had the fright of his life, standing the other side of the door was a rather large lady, curlers still in her hair, her face expression showing she wasn't very happy.

"Ma'am?" Jimmy just about had time to say before she became her verbal onslaught.

"Why if my man were here, he'd wipe your sorry ass, what the hell do you think you're doing, I ain't going no where, you think a little smoke is going to get me out of my home, you're damn wrong, hell I've been leaving here since I don't know when and I ain't never been removed from my home and there's no way it's going to happen now, I have all these folk running up and down screaming, I don't know what's a matter with them, you think the building was on fire, damn, hell, even if it was, I ain't going no where, you see the state of my hair, I ain't going out to the streets looking like this, hell you're going have to wait for me, while I'll take my damn curlers out, you know how to do that boy?"

Jimmy's jaw all but dropped to the floor, he mouth opened several times to try and get a word in edgeways but each time nothing could come out.

"You listening to me boy? You come up here, dress in all that fancy stuff, looking like you want to land on the moon, hell I was having a loving time, what the hell is going on outside, they're driving my good self up the wall, inside, outside, do these people realize I need some peace…"

"Sully" Mary tapped him on the shoulder, she had news of Ty condition and it wasn't looking good. "John, Ty's has some nasty burns to his face, though the doctors say that will heal in time, what they are more concerned about is his vision and hearing. They can't be sure yet, but they believe Davis has burn damage to his right eye, and he probably has an exploded eardrum. They have to wait to do more tests, he's still unconscious but he's healthy, he is going to be okay"

"Okay? How can he be okay?" Sully sat down, and rested his head in his hands, his deep concern for his partner was obvious, Mary sat beside him, saying nothing, just rubbing gently on his back.

The solitary man stood shaking in the doorway, sweat dripping down his face, his gun pointing directly at Carlos.

Bosco in his panic to reach his own weapon, lost his footing and had to hop down a step. Grace not seeing the man at the top clearly went to help. "No, GO BACK" Bosco snapped, not even looking at Grace.

"GO AWAY, LEAVE ME ALONE" the man yelled out, as Carlos too found himself shaking.

Bosco grabbed at Carlos to pull himself in front of him, making him the target for the mad man. Grace, now realizing the danger stepped back slowly down the stairs and out of direct sight.

"Put the gun down" Bosco ordered as he too raised his gun.

Carlos, couldn't tear his eyes away from the barrel of the gun the man was pointing at him, Bosco although now in front of him, wasn't directly in the bullets path should the man decide to fire.

"Put the gun down now" Bosco again ordered, his mind trying to focus on the man and not the burning sensation in his leg.

"LEAVE ME ALONE" the man cried out, wiping his sleeve across his face with one arm, while the other still held the gun at the two emergency workers.

"Hey Monroe, what's going on?" Faith called out to her co-worker as she arrived at the scene.

"I don't know, we had the reports come through about the bus, but we can't find no one who it belongs too, it should be Neito but neither he or his partner are anywhere to be seen"

"What about Bosco, have you seen him?"

"Bosco, no, why?"

"We think he might be with Carlos and Grace"

"Where ever they are!" Kim replied despondent.

"The streets have quieted down, we should be able to do a sweep of the area, they most me around here somewhere, where do you think they could have gone" Monroe asked.

Faith looked up for an instant "I have no idea"

Before anyone could say another word a crashing noise came from the alleyway causing the officers to be on their guard.

"Stay back" Faith instructed, weapon drawn as Kim moved back behind the bus.

Out of the alleyway came a very panicked paramedic. Grace had spotted the police car and had made a run to it.

"Woah, slow down" Faith grabbed her as she practically fell into her arms "where's Carlos?"

Trying to catch her breath, Grace held her chest and pointed down the alleyway with her other hand "there, there's a man with a gun, he's got Carlos and Bosco"

"What?" Faith said disbelieving what she had just heard.

"We were trying to get out the way of the streets, we went up to the roof, but there was a man with a gun, he was pointing it at Carlos and then Bosco" Grace was just about managing to get the story out between gasps of breath "he didn't see me, I backed off and ran out as fast as I could to get help, they're still up there, I think the man's unstable, he'll do anything"

Kim noticed Faith lose color from her face, this was serious "what do we do?"

"Everyone get back" Faith ordered before getting on the radio to report the incident and request backup.
