Sibling bonding

Chapter 1

Hailey listens to her brothers talking about their latest case, she was proud of her siblings, her two big brothers Danny and Joe were detectives, her twin Brother Jamie was an officer and her big sister Erin was a D.A.

Hailey was happy she didn't go into the family business of law enforcement, she liked teaching. She jokes with her brothers saying that she is teaching the future adults of their amazing city not to become criminals.

Erin looks down at the table at her sister "So, Hailey how was Thursday?"

Hailey looks at her sister and just glares at her "Don't even ask Erin, it was terrible."

Joe looks in between his sisters "Someone going to explain what happened Thursday."

Erin smiles "Hailey had a date."

Hailey puts her head in her hands "Erinnnn."

Erin takes a sip of her water then looks at her sister "You didn't tell them did you? I am sorry Hailey."

Hailey looks up at Erin "no you're not" she then looks at her brothers who were all looking at her "so erm Danny how is that gang case going?"

Danny smirks at her "tell me who you had your date with Hailey."

Hailey sighs "it wasn't a date; he stood me up; happy now."

Jamie hugs his twin "I'm sorry Hailey, the guy didn't deserve you anyway."

Hailey looks at Danny for some help, he nods "Jamie's right Hailey, anyway the gang case, we do have a witness but no name yet but we'll have that name on Monday so hopefully get them to testify."

Hailey nods "what if they don't want to testify? You can't make someone Danny."

Joe looks at his sister "yeah but Hailey, this witness could bring down some major gang members and besides they'll be offered witness protection."

Erin nods "yeah Joe's right, why so curious Hailey?"

Hailey shrugs her shoulders "Just wondering how you guys deal with witnesses who don't want to testify."

Jamie smiles "Danny works the Reagan charm on them and they normally testify."

Danny smirks and puts his arm around Linda "how do you think I got Linda."

Joe laughs "more like how do you think he got Linda to stay with him."

They all laugh; Frank sits happily at the head of the table watching his children all get along. He was glad that Hailey hadn't become a police officer, she had been a total surprise, Mary had no idea that she was pregnant with twins when she was pregnant with Jamie until it was time to give birth.

Hailey had been hiding behind Jamie the whole 9 months and was a lot smaller than her twin, she had to stay in hospital a bit longer than Jamie too, and it made everyone a bit more cautious of Hailey and protective.

Hailey was helping Linda clear up after their Sunday dinner, Linda looks at her sister in law "There is a great guy out there for you Hailey."

Hailey nods "I know and when he is ready to be found, I'll find him."

~ Monday morning ~

Hailey walks through her house and into her kitchen "Mmm need coffee."

She grabs her phone off the counter and sends out her normal morning message to her brothers, 'Be safe and kick butt, love you Hails x.' She always got a cheeky reply from Jamie about to watch out for kids with scissors, Danny always text her back saying yes mom ;) x, she generally got a normal message back from Joe saying that he would be safe and that he loved her back.

Hailey read her quick replies from her brothers and heads out the door and starts to walk the few blocks to the public school where she taught.

Meanwhile at the 54th precinct Detective Baez was waiting at the front desk for Danny, he sees her and knows something is wrong "Morning Baez and what bad news do you have for me?"

Baez shakes her head "You aren't going to like this Reagan; we have an ID on the witness from the gang shooting on Thursday night."

Danny takes a sip of his coffee "that sounds like good news to me Baez, so when does the bad news come into it."

Baez hands him the photo "The witness Reagan happens to be one of your siblings, Hailey Reagan. Your sister is the witness Reagan."

Danny throws his coffee cup in the trash "That is why she was acting weird at dinner last night; I'll handle it, call Erin and tell her. She will want to make sure we get witness protection for this case."

Danny runs out of the precinct and sends out a message to Jamie and Joe to meet him at Hailey's school. Danny arrives at the school and leans against the car waiting for his brothers to arrive, they run over to Danny asking what was going on and if Hailey was alright.

Danny hands Joe the file "the witness that I have been looking for happens to be Hailey."

Jamie reads the file over Joe's shoulder "Our Hailey? That's why she was asking so many questions at dinner, what you going to do Danny?"

Danny sighs "I am going to go in and get my witness and if I have to drag her out kicking and screaming I will."

Joe looks at his big brother "Be careful Danny, what do you want us to do?"

Danny looks at his phone "I got dad guarding her house in case she runs and gets that far, just cover the exits because if she wants to run she will."

Jamie looks at them "This is Hailey we are talking about, do you really think she would run from us? She knows that Danny can protect her from the gangs, she knows we can all protect her."

Joe nods "true Jamie but you have to remember we have no idea what Hailey saw, what if she saw some dirty cops doing the killing, she won't want them knowing she saw them cause they could go after us or dad."

Jamie stands by the front entrance "we'll find out soon enough."

Danny and Joe walk inside the school, they get showed to Hailey's empty classroom thankfully for everyone that school hadn't started yet so there were no students in the classrooms.

Hailey was coming out of the bathroom and saw them by her classroom "crap." She turns around and hurries towards the gym knowing that if they are inside the school then that meant that Jamie will be guarding the front of the school, she hears two sets of footsteps behind her and knows straight away they have spotted her.

She sighs in defeat when she feels Joe put his arm around her shoulders, he turns her around and the three of them walk towards the main entrance of the school, once outside Hailey knew she made a good call by going towards the gym exit because there was her twin leaning against the patrol car.

What did Hailey Witness?
