I don't own Blue bloods

A/N an AU scene from 09X01 What if Frank found out about the promotion from the list and not from Jamie.

"Okay we have the new Sargent exam results." Garrett said with a smile as he handed them over.

"What's with that smile." Frank asked looking at his DCPI

"look at number one."

"Number one you mean the person who ranked the highest."

"Of course." Garrett rolled his eyes.

"Okay." Frank looked down at the list in his hands and his heart stilled just a little bit. "Jamie." He whispered.

"I am guessing that you didn't know he took the test."

"No." Frank shook his head. "Last I heard he was happy where he was and had no intention of taking the test."

"Well looks like he changed his mind and not only did he change his mind but he ranked number one. Now that's going to make some good headlines.

"Don't." Frank shook his head. "Jamie won't like that."

"Well it does make good PR and we can always use that I mean come on think of the headlines. Commissioner's son ace's sergeants exam following father's footsteps."

"I was never a Sargent." Frank pointed out.

"Semantics." Garrett shook his head. Just as Sid came into the room.

"Oh you saw it huh. So what do you think?"
"I think Jamie is doing what he wants and I'm proud of him though I wish he would have told me though it would have stopped a lot of issues.

"Well you know that Jamie likes to cut his own path." Sid said.

That's true." Frank shook his head.

"Well looks like you're getting a sarge in the family." Garrett stood up. I'm sure he knows by now."

The two men left the room and left Frank to ponder the new information so Jamie had taken the Sarge's exam and passed.

He wondered if he was going to take the promotion and if so he knew that would clear up a lot of problems about the riding with Eddie situation. He sat looking at the list and thought about the changes that were coming to all of them.
