Blue Bloods: All Actions have Consequences
Prologue
Frank and Henry's House
Bay Ridge, New York
Henry poured a cup of coffee and brought it over to the table. He sat down as Frank walked in. "Morning Francis. Coffee is fresh."
"Thanks pop, but I don't need any right now." Frank stated as he walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water and opened it. "I need this more than anything."
Henry looked at Frank for a moment before speaking. "You ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Just a little dehydrated this morning." Frank answered as he sipped the water again. He set it on the island before sitting down and joining his father at the table. He saw his father's looking at him. "What?"
"Its just you didn't come home until almost midnight last night." Henry stated with a smile on his face as he turned back to his paper and picked up his coffee. "What were you doing that required the bottle of water?"
"What makes you think I was up to anything last night?" Frank replied as he looked at his father.
"Francis you may be able to bluff the mayor, but not me." Henry remarked with a sly smile on his face. He set the paper down. "So who is she?"
"Who says I was out last night?" Frank attempted to move his father off the hunt. "I could have been out with Garrett and Ghormley?"
Henry shook his head. "Heh. Come on Francis, I called the office at 8 last night, Garrett said you were out, and Ghormley was up in Albany till this morning. It's nothing to be ashamed about, because you are entitled to a life. So who is she?"
Frank looked at his watch, got up and clasped his father's shoulder. "Got to go pop. See you for dinner tonight."
Henry watched as the form of his son walked towards the front door and said chuckling to the back of Frank. "I wont keep a plate warm for you."
Frank waved as he walked out the door.
New York County Courthouse
Manhattan, New York
The honorable Erin Reagan walked into her offices that morning and hung up her purse on the coat hook prior to moving her desk. Her first couple weeks of a criminal court judge had been relatively light. The first week she was calendared in for mainly bail hearings and covering for judges who needed to handle other matters prior to returning to their trials that she covered. The other week she, her boyfriend Dr. Andrew Parker, and Nicky left on a vacation down to the Florida Keys to spend time together. Now she walked over to her desk and picked up the calendar that laid there. "Hmm. Patrick?"
Erins clerk, a young man fresh from law school came in from the mini office next to Erin's. "Good morning your honor. Welcome back."
"Thank you." Erin answered as she watched the young man come on over. "What's this? I got the Ricardo homicide."
"Yes you do. That assignment came down from the chief judge." Patrick answered as he looked at the calendar. "Why is there a problem your honor?"
"Could be. I was the one that assigned to the DA to the case before I became a judge." Erin answered as she sat down. She looked up at her clerk. "When does the chief judge get in?"
Patrick checked his watch. "She should be in now."
Erin nodded her thanks, picked up the phone and called the number. "Judge Phyllis Arnold please. Judge Erin Reagan."
"Erin welcome back. How can I help you? The chief Judge answered when she came on to the line.
"The Ricardo case. I was the person who assigned….." Erin started to say.
"I know, but that was the limit of your contact to the case, so you shouldn't have any problems." The Chief Judge answered from her office. "But it's up to you. You can recuse yourself if you want."
Erin thought about it for a moment. She took a breath. "No your honor. I'll take the case."
"Good. Now I know you'll do well, but remember if you need to always talk to your fellow judges if you have concerns about anything." The Chief Judge told Erin. She could be heard on the phone shifting in her chair. "I got to run. You'll do fine. Have a good day Erin."
"You too your honor." Erin stated as the call ended. She set the phone down and looked at her clerk. "Alright let me see the file."
Patrick nodded and moved to get the file as Erin took a breath. "This is the first big test I got."
East 63rd and York Avenue
Manhattan, New York
Danny and Baez walked down the hallway towards the crime scene. Baez looked over her partner. "Is everyone excited for the wedding coming up?"
"Yep. Both Eddie and Jamie are having their bachelor and bachelorette parties on the same day so that should be interesting." Danny answered as they came close to the crime scene. "Me and Jamie have to pick up the rings next week before Thursday."
Baez nodded her understanding. "Well I'm happy for them. It will be a great day."
"Yeah they dance around enough for a couple years but they'll have great day." Danny agreed with his partner as they ducked under the tape. He grimaced at the site of their victim. "Which I cant say happen to this guy."
Baez nodded as she looked around the room. "Plenty of blood splatter."
Danny nodded as he approached the victim. "What did you find doc?"
"Detectives cause of death is blunt force trauma to the head." The coroner answered as he stood up and looked at Danny. He pointed to something near the body. "The weapon is that piece of art right there."
Danny looked at the object and knelt down by it. "What is this? Looks like a cylinder but welded together."
Baez came on over and looked at it. "That's a Julia Reynolds. She makes art of recycled metals into shapes."
Danny looked at his partner. She shrugged her shoulders. "My boyfriend likes art."
Danny chuckled and motioned over a crime scene photographer. "Take a picture of this. This looks like a print here."
The photographer nodded as Baez stood up. "Who found the body?"
An officer came over. "A neighbor heard arguing late last night and heard a thump. But he was drinking so he thought he imagined it until he saw the blood dripping down from his ceiling. That is when he called the super who found the body."
Danny nodded as the coroner came in with a body bag. "Can you determine a time of death?"
"Between 10 and midnight last night." The coroner answered. He hand pointed to the counter. "The id is where everyone has left it."
Baez nodded and walked over and grabbed the wallet and looked at it. "John Robertson. Art insurance agent. Cash, credit cards and id are still over."
Danny pointed to the officer who told them about what was first found. "Start with the canvass and see if they have security cameras since they have a doorman."
The officer nodded and walked outside the crime scene as Baez came over. She saw Danny's look. "What you thinking Reagan?"
"He insured art for living." Danny said as they watched the body get loaded into a body bag and the crime scene tech bag up the murder weapon. "Kind of ironic that a piece of art is what killed him."
They watched as the victim was wheeled out of the crime scene.
Marcus Garvey Park
Harlem, New York
Jamie and his partner Officer Mitchell jumped out of their RMP and hurried towards the call of a disturbed woman waving a knife in the park. A small crowd had gathered as two other units had shown up. Jamie called out to one of the officers. "Juarez, what do you got?"
"Got an EDP sarge. Showed up here and started to wave and slash the knife around." The officer answered as the officers formed a perimeter to keep the crowd back from the woman, but their weapons were out. "She attacked a female over there by the ambulance."
"Keep everyone back, but keep your weapons lowered." Jamie ordered as he moved towards the ambulance. He spotted the woman in the back of it. "Ma'am I'm Sergeant Reagan."
"Clarissa Norris." The lady answered as the paramedic bandaged up her arm. "It wasn't Cassandra's fault."
"Cassandra is the lady with the knife?" Jamie asked.
Clarissa nodded. "She suffers from schizophrenia ever since her parents died. We were out today to get some fresh air. I didn't know she stole the knife from the kitchen at the home where she lives, nor that she stop taking her medication."
Jamie nodded to her. "I may need you."
"Sergeant we have to…." The paramedic started to say.
"She may be able to calm her down." Jamie told the paramedic. He looked to Clarissa. "If you are up for it?"
Clarissa nodded and got up from the gurney and followed Jamie as he started to walk towards the scene again. He moved through the crowd and stood in front of the line of officers. "Cassandra, Cassandra."
The lady with the knife turned and looked at Jamie. "Go away. You are with them. Those that are trying to hurt me."
"Cassandra, my name is Jamie. No one is trying to hurt you." Jamie stated as he held up his hand. "Can you put the knife down and talk to me?"
"They're trying to hurt me. All of them." Cassandra answered by waving the knife around at the crowd.
Jamie turned to the lady Clarissa and nodded. She stepped forward a little bit. "Cassandra no one is trying to hurt you. These people are trying to help you. So please set the knife down and come with me so we can get you check out."
"No you are one of them, you are trying to hurt me too." Cassandra replied.
Jamie's partner Officer Mitchell stated. "Sarge why don't we call ESU to come down and taze her?"
"Mitchell I will do so if I can't defuse the situation, now quiet." Jamie scolded his partner. He looked at the officers with them. "Holster you weapons."
The officers were hesitant, so Jamie said it again. "Holster your weapons."
The officers complied as Jamie moved forward towards Cassandra. "See Cassandra no one is trying to harm you. Why don't you put the knife down and come with me so we can get you back to Clarissa and get you checked out ok?"
Cassandra remained hesitant for a moment and slowly started to move towards Jamie with the knife in her hand, until a noise from the crowd of someone shouting startled her. "You lied."
Cassandra started to move faster towards Jamie who was getting ready to defend himself when a shot rain out and Cassandra dropped to the ground. Jamie turned and saw his partner with his weapon out and pointed at Cassandra. The stun crowd now started to realize what happen and started to grow agitated. "WHY DID YOU SHOOT HER?; YOU MURDERER; KILLER."
Jamie reached for his shoulder radio. "Central 29-Sergeant. We have a 10-13, officer involved shooting. We need IAB, and additional units for crowd control to my location immediately."
Jamie let go of the radio and headed towards Officer Mitchell as the remaining officers tried to get the crowd to back up. Officer Mitchell looked at Jamie. "I thought she was….."
"Don't say anything. Stay here, and wait for IAB okay." Jamie told Officer Mitchell. He moved towards the crowd. "Everyone please back up and give us space as we…"
Jamie was drowned out as other officers came onto the scene as the paramedics attended to the fallen women and Officer Mitchell remained to stun to move.
Additional Note: I hope you enjoyed the first installment of the new story. I like where this one is going and I hope you will too. Starting hopefully Sunday there will be a short four part bachelor/bachelorette party story for Jamie and Eddie and we will wrap up the wedding planning story. Shortly after this one is the actual wedding and honey moon stories before the "New season kicks off" for me at least. I'm still debating on where to take our favorite couple on a honey moon too. I will make my decision here shortly I hope. So enjoy the new story and hope you like it. Thank you.
