Major Case Squad

54th Precinct

Baez walked into the squad room and to her shock noticed her partner Danny Reagan sitting down at his desk doing paper work. She set the coffee down on her desk as she sat down at her desk. "In all the years I have known you Reagan, I never seen you do paperwork this early in a tour before."

"Well Linda wants to make sure that nothing will get in the way of Thanksgiving." Danny replied with a smile on his face looking up. "She wants to attend the parade this year with the boys, and specifically told me that I better have all my paperwork cleared up."

Baez smiled at Danny. She loved the fact Danny appreciated and loved his family very much. "That's nice Danny."

"Yeah, the boys are getting older, and it won't be too much longer before they wont want to do things like that anymore." Danny answered as he went back to his paperwork. "What about you partner?"

"Doing the same thing, and hopefully….." Baez started to say.

"Don't say it Baez or you'll jinx us and then I'll have a pissed off wife on my hands." Danny replied with a smirk on his face. "I don't think we'll want that."

Baez chuckled. "I rather deal with IA than a mad Linda when it comes to the holiday plans."

Danny and Baez both got a chuckle out of that.

One Police Plaza

Manhattan, New York

Frank walked off the elevator with Baker waiting for him as the doors opened. "Morning Baker."

"Good morning sir, how was your weekend?" Baker asked as she fell in behind her boss as he walked off the elevator and towards his office.

"Not too bad. It's the week of Thanksgiving so we are busy preparing." Frank replied to the question. He tossed a look at his assistant. "What is on the schedule for today?"

Baez smiled at her boss. "Yes sir. You have a meeting with all the chiefs to go over the plans for security for the parade, the mayor wants ten minutes to finalize plans for the homeless shelter visit, and you have the police chief of Paris coming in for a counterterrorism briefing."

"It's a good thing when the city is preparing for the holidays and it's a quiet week with the crime stats isn't it Baker so we can host people like that." Frank stated as they walked into the office.

"Yes sir." Baker replied taking Frank's coat and hanging it up. She turned and saw DCPI Moore walking into the office. "And your 9 o'clock is fifteen minutes early."

"Good morning Baker, Frank." Garrett stated as he sat down in the chair opposite of the desk. "Times wants a quote on a story that appeared today in the paper."

"What is the story?" Frank asked as he sat down in his chair and picked up the briefing folder that was on his desk.

Garrett sighed. "They were wondering in the aftermath of Paris, one of our ESU and CTU members stated in a press conference that the teams are woefully spread thin for the holiday travel season and the parade, that they cannot cover any potential threat quickly and expedient enough."

Frank looked up from the folder as Baker looked at Frank. Frank set the folder down. "Who is the officer that said that?"

"Don't know, and the Times won't say who it is." Garrett replied to the question as he looked down at his phone. He looked up and saw the look had not change. "They are not going to give up their names Frank because the officers wanted their names withheld."

"Ask the ESU and CTU commanders to commanders to stay after briefing Baker please." Frank stated as he set the folder down on his desk.

Baker nodded. "Yes sir."

Garrett waited until Baker had left the office. "So are you going to ask them who it was?"

"No, I am going to reiterate to them that the member's job is to serve and protect, and not spout off to the media about assignments." Frank stated forcefully. Garrett got up and left the office to let Frank stew on those thoughts.

Office of the District Attorney of New York County

Manhattan, New York

Erin Reagan was scrounging around on her desk trying to find the case folder for the closing testimony of the case for the week. With Thanksgiving around the corner, she was trying to finish early so she could begin her vacation. "Laura, do you have the Godson case folder?"

"I put it in your briefcase Ms. Reagan." Laura, Erin's assistant stated from the door after hearing her name called.

Erin looked in her briefcase and found it. "Thank you, and accept no more cases, cause as soon as I finish this closing arguments I am out of here for the rest of the week."

"Yes ma'am." Laura replied with a smile as she saw Erin's boyfriend Dr. Andrew Parker walk past her. "Morning Dr. Parker."

"Morning Laura." Andrew said as he walked to the door. He lightly knocked on it and saw Erin look up. "Hey."

"Hey sorry for leaving so early this morning, but I had to finish prepping for this case and last night was the greatest night." Erin replied with a smile towards Andrew who just shook his head. She saw what he had in his hand. "Oh my god the Cuban coffee."

"Yeah, good thing I ran into the soldier that I knew that got this stuff from home." Andrew replied walking into the office. He handed her the cup. "Thank god he gave us a bag."

Erin nodded and sipped at it. "Oh this is good, now I know what Jamie and Eddie were talking about."

"Yeah." Andrew answered as they were walking out of the office and towards the elevator. "Hey mom and dad will be up on Friday to visit me for the weekend. If it's ok with you, I liked to introduce you to them?"

Erin looked at Andrew for a moment. She had seen the pictures and like the relationship Andrew had with his family. One of the many reason why she cared so deeply for him, but they to this moment had not declared their love for each other yet. "I would love to Andrew. Dinner and drinks?

"Actually they are wanting to know if they could do lunch and drinks. Have early show tickets." Andrew stated as the elevator doors opened and they walked on.

"Sure, just let me know when." Erin remarked with a smile but deep down was nervous as a school girl.

Washington and Spring Street.

Manhattan, New York

Jamie and his partner Officer Taylor Rodriguez pulled up behind the RMP that was parked outside the building. Jamie noticed Meyers and Eddie standing outside. "What do we got?"

"Two males robbed a convenience store down the block and we followed them here." Eddie stated as they walked towards the door. "One male 6'5, African American skinny looked like he had a bag with the evidence inside. One male 6'5 White looks like a linebacker, with a gun."

"Alright, we'll clear the ground floor, you guys take the second, and we'll work our way up." Jamie stated that had everyone nodding. "Central 12-David, requesting one additional unit to our location."

As the reply came through they took opposite sides of the door and cleared the entry way and started going through the building which was abandon office complex. As Jamie and Rodriguez cleared rooms on the ground floor, Eddie and Meyers were on the second doing the same thing.

Jamie and Rodriguez were halfway through the first floor when they noticed the African American suspect coming out of one of the offices. "NYPD freeze."

The suspect saw them and started running but as he turned a corner, he ran into a filing cabinet that had been left behind. He knocked it and himself over, allowing for Jamie and Rodriguez to catch up. Jamie rolled him over as Rodriguez covered him. "Place your arms behind your back."

As Jamie was cuffing the subject, Rodriguez got on her radio. "Central, 12-David, one suspect under at our location."

Upstairs Eddie heard the news come over the radio at a low volume so the subject couldn't hear them. "They got one."

"Yeah, but where is the other…" Meyers stated to say but never finished as he was thrown into wall by the white suspect. Meyers collapsed to the ground as his head hit an emergency light when the suspect put him into wall.

Eddie rushed to protect her partner. As she was pulling out her baton, the suspect turned around and pushed her to the ground and the baton scattered away from her. The suspect then climbed on top and started to choke her.

Downstairs Jamie and Rodriguez heard the noise. Jamie looked up and saw Johnson and Chang two members from their precinct walking in. Jamie waved at them. "Take him would you and call for additional back. Rodriguez come with me."

As Jamie and Rodriguez started towards the stairs, Eddie was struggling with other suspect on top of her strangling her. Eddie tried to break the grasp and failed at it. She couldn't reach her gun because the suspect was on top of her equipment belt. She reached out beyond her head searching for her baton. She grasp something that felt like the baton and swung, connecting on the suspect on the side of head. His grip loosen a bit but was still tight so Eddie brought what she was using on the suspects arm finally breaking his grip. He rolled off and on to the floor. Eddie laid panting catching her breath for a moment before quickly getting up and rolling the suspect over.

"Eddie." Jamie called from the stairwell door in worry, as he came running down the corridor. He quickly secured the suspect so Eddie placed the cuffs on him.

"Check on Meyers." Eddie called out in a gasping talk.

Rodriguez went over to Meyers and checked for a pulse. "He's got one, just knocked out."

"12-David to Central, we have officers down, and two under at our location. Send rescue over." Jamie called over the radio as Riagatti and Sanchez came up the stairwell to help with the scene. Jamie checked on Eddie. "You ok?"

Eddie nodded not quite sure, but visibly shaking. "I want to go with Meyers."

"You will Eddie." Jamie assured her. He looked her over searching for any other injuries. He noticed the equipment belt. "Eddie where's your baton?"

Eddie pointed to where she thought she had drop her baton when using it to subdue the suspect. Jamie shined his flashlight on the area. "Ahh Eddie, that's a pipe."

"No its not, it's my baton Jamie." Eddie replied slowly getting her normal voice back.

"It's not." Jamie told her as she came over and saw that was the area she pointed too. He noticed Rodriguez shining her light around. Eddie saw the pipe on the ground where she had pointed.

"Found it." Rodriguez told them as she knelt down by the baton. "I'll leave it in place."

"Do that." Jamie told Rodriguez as a couple sets of paramedics came in to check on everybody. "Hey babe, you are ok and you didn't do anything wrong."

Eddie nodded wishing she could take comfort in his arms, but this wasn't the place for it as she watch the paramedics check on her partner.

The Highline

Manhattan, New York

"I said I was sorry Danny." Baez told her partner as they walked up the steps towards their crime scene which was located on the highline. They walked upstairs and arrived up on the Highline and walked towards their crime scene which was near the 22nd Street entrance to the Highline. "I didn't mean for this this to happen."

"You brought this curse upon us Baez when you started to talk about it." Danny replied with a smirk on his face as they walked towards the outdoor theater which had crime scene tape around it. "You know the rule around holidays."

Baez surrendered. "Fine, for Christmas I will do all the paperwork and coffee runs."

"Don't forget about the lunch runs because you opened your mouth." Danny replied with a smile on his face. He saw Baez nod as they ducked under the tape. They walked up on the the scene and the coroner. "What do you we got?"

"Mid 20 year old Hispanic male with his throat cut." The coroner team stated as Danny and Baez started their process of the crime scene. "No wallet was found on the body, and liver temp puts the TOD between midnight and 3 am."

Danny knelt down by the body. He noticed the tattoos that the dead man had on him. "This guy has prison ink on his hands and arms."

"Take photos of the tattoos and email them to us please." Baez asked getting a nod from the coroner doc on the scene. She looked around the scene. "Who found the body?"

An officer standing nearby walked over. "A maintenance worker showing up for her shift."

Danny and Baez saw the woman who the officer was talking about standing near a couple of other uniforms. Danny pointed at her. "Bring her down to the squad so we can get her statement."

The officer nodded as he walked over as Danny motioned over another uniform. "Canvass these buildings and see if anybody saw anything last night."

"How did he get up here?" Baez asked as they went back to the body as the coroner was slowly checking the body. "Stairs, elevators all get locked up when the Highline closes."

"We'll canvass for security camera footage partner." Danny stated.

The coroner rolled the body and found a weapon underneath. "Detective?"

Danny came over and saw the gun laying on the walkway. "9 mil, and looks brand new."

Baez motioned over the CSU tech to take a photo. "Which means our vic brought a gun to a knife fight."

Danny stood up and looked around. "And lost.

St. Victors

Manhattan, New York

Jamie was with Eddie waiting for her visit to the ER to be finished after her exam. Sergeant Renzulli had granted Jamie permission to follow the ambulance to the hospital to see Eddie through the admittance procedure and getting the final results, but that was it. Afterwards Jamie had to be back on the street. He had his arm wrapped around Eddie's shoulders. "You doing ok?"

"Yeah after the last 9 times you asked Reagan." Eddie replied with a weak smile. She leaned her head on his shoulder. Since the incident she had to breathe steadily to calm her heart.

Linda and Andrew walked into her exam area. Andrew spoke first. "Eddie you doing ok after everything?"

"Fine Andrew, just want to get out of here."

Andrew smiled and nodded. "Well let's see how our trainee Nurse practitioner does here."

Linda smiled at everybody and looked at the chart. "Except for some bruising of the throat, you are fine. Just drink some tea with honey that will help and try not to talk a lot if you can help it."

Eddie threw a smirk at Linda who smirked back and that got everybody laughing. Jamie looked around. "Where's my father?"

"On the way in." Andrew told them as he signed off on the chart next to Linda's making another successful practice in her program. "I will let you know….."

A couple of detectives in suits came on into her exam area. The mid 40s detective looked around. "Officer Edit Janko?"

"Yeah." Eddie replied as Jamie removed his arm and Eddie sat up straight.

"Detectives Alberts and Norris with IA. You are hereby placed on modified assignment pending outcome of your investigation." Detective Norris stated holding up his badge.

"On what charge?" Jamie asked in shock just like the rest of the room.

"Excessive force on a suspect." Detective Norris stated as Jamie, Eddie, Linda and Andrew all stood there in shock.
