"Hey Eddie, you ready for beers, wings and to lose at darts as usual," Jamie teased his partner after finishing their tour ready to cut loose.

Eddie brushed a hand through her curly blond hair loosely brushing against her cheek, and looked up at him apologetically. "I'm sorry Jamie I actually can't go tonight I have a business meeting with the Detective squad. Can I take a rain check?"

Jamie tried hiding his disappointed look their tradition of hanging out after a tour wasn't happening that night. "Yeah of course, I'll see you tomorrow?" His blue eyes watched Eddie take off down the long hallway heading towards the exit back to his empty apartment.

It upset Eddie she forgot to mention her plans knowing she and Jamie usually hung out, something she always looked forward to. Jamie was always a gentleman not to mention drop dead gorgeous with his sparkling blue eyes but.. They were partners and that thought couldn't even be entertained.

Leaving it alone there Eddie headed across town stepping into a bar immediately finding her date for the night, a training Sergeant from the 12th precinct her house. "Hey David," she greeted approaching the empty stool to his left.

"Hey you made it," he smiled wide waving for the bartender to bring two beers over for them. When two cold beers were placed in front of them David lifted his toasting Eddie before taking a sip.

"So I was looking at your file Eddie, you've had quite an impressive career in the two years on the force. How long have you been partnered with Reagan?"

Eddie took drinks of her own beer before answering while ordering another, "I've been with Officer Reagan for two years the entire time on the force. He was training officer as a rookie and we've remained partners ever since, neither of us want it any other way."

Her testimony made David frown; he wasn't fond of the youngest Reagan thinking Jamie felt he could do whatever he wanted because of who his father was. "Look, you've been on patrol for two years, have you thought of where you want to go from here?"

"Yeah, actually eventually I want to get my gold shield," Eddie admitted with another quick swig of her beer.

"I can see that you should start doing that I can get you cases to prove yourself until you pass the Detective test which you'll ace. I'm sure you're comfortable with Reagan but do you want to stay on patrol the rest of your career? Eddie, you can go so far what do you say?" David leaned in close using the file he placed between them as an alibi.

Inside Eddie's records listed all her arrests and various undercover assignments since beginning with the NYPD. "If you can add more to this impressive resume you'll guarantee a spot with the Detective squad and I can help," David breathed softly finding his eyes locked into Eddie's.

"I do want to become a Detective.." Eddie trailed softly thinking only of her partner unable to see them working with anyone else.

"Have you ever wondered why you haven't been asked to take the Detective exam? Being partnered with the PC's son means not being given shown special treatment but it's up to you. If you're okay running patrol with EDP's all over you then that's up to you," David shrugged brushing back a piece of her blond hair moving back to sip his beer.

Eddie looked down at her file shaking her head to try and clearly think what the right decision would be. "Okay pass some cases along my way."

She maintained a somewhat good conversation the rest of the night heading back to her apartment around 11 hoping to wake up soundly for an early morning tour. With Jamie's good work ethic rubbing off on her Eddie managed to arrive a half hour before tour began giving her time to make a cup of coffee.

"Hey Reagan." Eddie quickly took a drink of coffee quickly exiting the small kitchen towards the women locker room. Taking her time changing Eddie appeared for roll call with just a minute to spare slipping in time for Jamie to smile before David began.

After roll call finished Eddie walked out with Jamie to their assigned RMP getting in towards location, today midtown near Danny's precinct. "So how was your night," Jamie asked while he drove.

"Fine," Eddie gave a small shrug taking out her notebook pretending to start a log of that day's activity forcing Jamie to frown at her odd behavior.

He remained quiet until they parked hoping for a quiet day counting the amount of tourists who stopped them for directions, two people who wanted to thank them for their service and a child who just wanted to give the officers high fives.

"Hey you hungry partner, want to get something," Jamie asked as the last tourist started in the direction they guided them to.

"Yeah I guess, central show us 98," Eddie spoke into her radio walking a bit away.

Jamie followed grabbing her arm and spun her around so they faced each other forgetting for a minute they were in public, midtown of all places surrounded by millions of people. "Hey what's with you today did something happen last night?"

"That's none of your business Reagan just leave it alone," Eddie snapped pulling her arm free and started to walk away.

Before she could get far Jamie stepped around blocking her path eyes worried at her odd behavior. Usually during tour Eddie talked the entire time chewing his ear off, teasing him or talking about her night. Today she sat idle even cold towards him saying no more than two words which worried Jamie.

"Eddie, did something happen last night you know if something did you have to report it. I was your training officer but more than that we're friends Eddie you can tell me," Jamie pleaded sensing something wasn't being said.

Before answering Eddie took in a deep breath calming her reaction before explaining quickly. "First of all Reagan you are my friend but you are also my work partner so our personal business is just that personal. Nothing happened last night that I couldn't handle I'm not a scared little girl who can't defend herself."

"I know that Eddie and I never said that but we always talk about what's going on and we usually hang out after work," Jamie tried slowly looking to calm her down before an argument started on duty in front of millions of people.

"No but you always do that I'm a cop too Jamie. You want to know what happened last night? I had a business meeting and the Detective squad is very interested in me they want me to start pursuing my gold shield and I'm going for it. I can't just stay on patrol with you the rest of my career, sorry." With that Eddie pulled away heading towards the hot dog stand ordering lunch while Jamie stood in shock.

Whatever Jamie thought she was about to say he wasn't prepared to hear she was leaving him. "When?"

"Soon as the paperwork goes through. Jamie you know I love riding patrol with you but I've always wanted to be a Detective." Eddie's blue eyes twinkled apologetic seeing the sadness in Jamie's face.

"Yea I know I'm happy for you. I uh forgot to get water I'll be right back." Leaving his sandwich on the bench suddenly not hungry, headed to the stand pretending to get water waiting until his eyes cleared to return.
