Tk POV
We get a medical call to a possible drug overdoes, when we arrive at scene it's a pretty well known sketchy neighborhood in Austin. We get out of the ambulance and walk up to the house and knocked on the door.
A tall heavy set man opened the door, the smell from the home was atrocious and there were flys everywhere.
"We were called for a possible drug overdoes." Captain Vega says
"Yeah. I called." The man says
"Where is the patient?" She asks
"In the other room." He says
"Do you mind if we come in to assist?" She asks the man, he's blocking the door so we can't just push past him.
"Only him." The man says pointing at me. Me and Nancy look at each other in confusion.
"Sir we work as a team, i am their captain, if anyone is going to help your friend in there alone it's going to be me." Captain says
"Then i don't want your help." The man says, he goes to shut the door.
"So you are refusing medical help?" She asks stopping the door with her hand.
"I'll go Cap." I say. I know what a drug overdose can do if we don't help them they could die.
"No Tk." Captain says . "The man doesn't want help." She says as she walks back to the ambulance.It was a quiet ride back to the station, that call was a weird one and it isn't sitting right with me. I want to talk to my dad about it but that would just feel like i would betraying Captain Vega and i do trust her she's the best captain, she's smart so her gut instinct must of told her something was wrong off.
"Tk. A word?" She asks as we get out. We walk up to her office and she shuts the door.
"Why did you say you would go in that house a lone?" She asks
"Because i know what a drug overdoes can do to a person." I say
"And you don't think i do?" She asks me
"No ma'am." I say
"Tk its not that i didn't think you could handle the medical side with the patient its the fact that we were in a sketchy neighborhood and that man was giving me the wrong impression. He wasn't worried or anything about his friend supposedly overdosed in the other room he was talking too casual. Something wasn't right. If i were to allow you to go in there by yourself and something were to happen to you Tk." Captain says she grabs the back of her chair with her hands.
"I understand." I tell her
"Good. Now go home." She tells me
"Have a good night Cap." I say as i leave the room
"You too."Carlos POV
I'm cooking dinner as i wait for Tk to get home, I'm making us some chicken Alfredo and breadsticks. I hear the door slide open.
"Hey babe." I say
"Hey." He says, his voice sounds disappointed, i look up and he tosses his bag down on the floor.
"You okay?" I ask
"Yeah, just tired." He responds "I'm going to go clean up." He walks into the bedroom and i hear the shower turn on.
There's something on his mind, i can tell. Maybe something happened at work? I mean that's the only thing i can think of, i don't think i have done anything he hasn't asked of me. I set the table and wait for him to come join me before i start to eat.Not too long after Tk takes a seat across from me, his hair still messy from his shower and his cheeks are still a little red from the hot water.
"How was your shift?" I ask trying to start a conversation
"Fine i guess." He says
"Did something happen?" I ask him. He looks up at me and i know he's catching on.
"There was a call to a possible drug overdoes but the guy was supper sketch and only wanted me to help his friend and Cap said no then when i said i would do it she scolded me in her office." Tk explains
"Was there an overdoes?" I ask
"We don't know. The guy wasn't freaking out or anything." He says
"Why did the guy only want you?" I ask him, that's really odd and I'm glad Captain Vega said no.
"I don't know Carlos!" Tk snaps. I look at him he's obviously upset over this call today.
I scoot my chair back and walk over to his side, i lean down behind him wrapping my arms around him.
"I'm sure if the man needs help he'll call again." I try to reassure him
"Yeah i guess." Tk says "I'm sorry I snapped at you"
"It's okay" i kiss his head and we return back to our meal.Tk POV
Carlos and me laid in bed, he was glued to my side asleep but I couldn't get past this call we took. I carefully got out of bed not to wake him, i threw on a pair of pants and a hoodie. I looked at Carlos peacefully sleeping.
"I love you baby." I whisper, i grab my keys and quietly open and shut our front door.I drive back to the house we had the call earlier and got out and knocked on the door. It's two in the morning. Surprisingly the same man from earlier opened the door.
"Can i help you?" He asks
"I dont know if you remember me but i was one of the paramedics from earlier." I tell him
"Right." He says after a moment of hesitation
"Is your friend better?" I ask
"No. It's not a friend. It's my son." He says
"What happened? What did he take?" I ask
"Come see for yourself." He says taking. A step back from the door. I hesitate for a moment looking back at my car before i step into the house.The man shuts the door behind me, locking it. It's dark in here there's no lights on and it's cold, the smell in here is still really bad.
"In here." The man says, he leads me into a back bedroom with the only light on, no windows.
There's a boy laying on an old wooden table with an IV coming out of his arm and has hospital machines all around him.
"Who's this?" I ask, i now realize why Captain was so strict on not coming in here by myself, i have a feeling what is about to happen. Why do i get myself in these situations?
"My son. Robbie. He has this heart condition called um, coronary artery disease. It's gotten pretty bad now." The man says
"Have you taken him to a doctor or hospital?" I ask
"Yes. He's on the transplant list but it's taking too long." The man says
"So why did you call us earlier saying it was a drug overdose?"
"Because i needed you all to come out here. You are going to give my son your heart." The man says. Now I'm officially scared and regretting my decision.
"You don't even know if i have the right blood type and how are you doing to even perform the surgery?" I ask him
"I have all the equipment here and i watched a few videos.' The man says.
I go to make a run for it but he injects some needle into my back making me instantly go numb.Carlos POV
I roll over and feel for Tk but the bed is empty, i sit up and look around, the bathroom is empty. I get up and walk into the rest of the loft i turn on the lights, it's empty. "Tk?" I say out loud. I get out my phone to call him but he doesn't answer. I remember our conversation from dinner, damn it.
"Please don't be there Tk." I say to myself. I call dispatch to get a location on Tks phone but they wasn't able to get anything, i call Captain Vega.
"Carlos?" She says
"Hey Captain so sorry to call this late but I'm pretty sure Tk went back to that house you all had a call about a possible drug overdose? Do you remember the address?" I ask her
"No but i can get it to you." She says
"Thank you. Just text it to me." I tell her
"I can meet you there." She says
"Ok. Do you think you could call Owen for me?" I ask her
"Yes of course." She saysI get the address and call the police station to send some fellow police officers. When we arrive at the house i see Tks car parked in front of it, no sign of him in the car. When we get inside the house it's dark except for a light from a room at the end of the hallway. We make our way down the hall and kick open the door.
"Freeze! Put your hands up!" An officer yells. It looks like this man was about to cut open someone on a table, i scan the room for Tk, i spot him in a chair tied up his head is dangling in front of him.
"Tk!' I rush over to him. I lift his head up opening his eyes with my fingers his pupils are dilated. I feel for a pulse it was there but it's gone now.
"What did you give him?!" I yell at the man
"Morphine." He says
"All of it?!" I ask
"Yes."
"Get me narcan!" I yell i break the restraints on the chair and lay Tk on his back giving him CPR.
Captain Vega comes in with the narcan she injects it into his leg.Tk POV
I gasped for air i looked around panicking.
"Baby it ok." Carlos says he grabs my hands. I look around the room and see him and Captain Vega and a bunch of police officers, i see my dad walk in the room.
"I'm sorry." I say, i look at everyone and they all have a look of disappointment and relief.
"I got you baby." Carlos says wrapping his arms around meAt the hospital Captain Vega and me had another fun conversation this time with me dad. I'm suspended for two weeks plus my week for recovery. I asked for it i guess but at least i stopped the man from doing this to someone else.
Carlos said he's going to tie our hands together when we sleep so I can't get up without him. I'm lucky to be married to a cop because no one else might of found me in time. We called Cooper and told him what happened since the guy injected me with morphine, looks like I'll be working on my sobriety again. This is what the third time?
