Chapter 1: Crossed the Line
"Officer down… officer down…" Officer A. Reagan relayed over her radio. Her partner Officer Jarden was shot but before she could catch the response from dispatch she felt a sharp pain from her shoulder causing her to drop her weapon. There was enough force to cause her to drop to the ground. I tried my hardest to take cover until back up arrived but the perps had another idea. I looked up only to see three white men wearing ski masks staring at me.
It was bad enough being a cop in New York but being the commissioner's daughter only made it worse. This was one of those times.
"Allyson Reagan! We found you. Your father and brother should have never crossed the line…" one of the men said before another one grabbed my injured arm, pulling me to my feet and stabbing the knife twice into my stomach. I only briefly remembered being hit multiple times in the face and head.
Everything else just happened so fast before I fell further onto the ground as sirens grew louder from the distance.
"Come on man! We have to get out of here. Damn cops are coming." One of the men said. Without hesitation, the three men ran off.
Everything bad that had happened over the last week only made this day feel like my last. Would I get to see him again? Would I get the chance to apologize or would I die alone.
"Da..d…" I whispered out loud as I heard my fellow officers run towards me.
"Ally… come on Ally.. stay with me. Hey, hey look at me." Was all I heard before I focused on the voice. Jamie, it was my twin brother Jamie.
"Ally do you know who did this?" Jamie said with such fear in his voice.
"Jam..ie… dad.. hur..t famil…" was all I could get out before everything grew dark within my mind.
~JAMIE'S POV~
"Where the hell is that bus?" Jamie yelled at his partner as more police officers arrived. Within moments from releasing his words, the ambulance arrived. Jamie did not want to let his sister go but he knew that he had to let the paramedics do their job.
Eddie pulled Jamie away from his sister but not before they heard one of the paramedics say over the radio as they loaded Jamie's sister "We have female officer with multiple stab wounds, bullet to the shoulder, possible trauma to the head…" then the doors closed.
"Come on Jamie, we need to get you to the hospital." Eddie told him but Jamie knew he wasn't thinking straight. All the blood from his sister. Who would do something like this?
~GENERAL POV~
1PP:
The call was placed to 1PP as deputy director Garrett Moore came rushing in. Commissioner Frank Raegan stopped in his tracks to look at his old friend. Although, he knew something was wrong.
"Two officers were shot." Garrett to Frank.
"Who are they?" Frank asked.
"Officer Jayden from the twelfth. He was pronounced DOA." Garrett told him first.
"And the other?" Frank asked worried.
"Frank… it's Allyson." Garrett quickly blurted out. Garrett's eyes showed such fear in telling his friend this.
Frank tried to keep calm, his baby girl was one of the two officers shot.
"They rushed her to the hospital. I don't know the details, but Jamie was second on the scene. He found her… It's not good Frank…" was all Garrett got out before Frank rushed pasted him.
HOSPITAL:
Frank had made it to the hospital where Jamie, Erin and the family were already waiting in the waiting room. Within minutes of Frank's arrival the eldest brother, Danny arrived.
"Dad what happened? Any news? How is she?" Danny blurted out as the whole family and a few officers waited impatiently.
Frank looked at his eldest son, not sure what to say at this point so Jamie spoke up, with blood still covering his uniform.
"They had to be set up. When we arrived on the scene… she… they… so much blood dad. I begged her to stay with me, she could barely talk." Was all Jamie could get out before he started to choke up at the memories of his sister.
"It's alright son." Frank said even though he wanted to know everything but right now he just needed to know that his daughter was going to pull through. He could not lose another child.
Before another word could be spoke, the emergency room doctor came out towards them.
"Doctor Gordon?" Frank said.
"Commissioner! We've stopped the bleeding from the two stab wounds she had. One punctured her right lung and another her abdomen. The now bullet just missed her heart Frank. Our biggest worry although is an infection and head trauma, we had to coma induce her until the swelling comes down. Whoever did this did not want to her to live but listen Frank I'm telling you this as a friend… it doesn't look good. She has a long recovery ahead of her, if she even wakes up, all we can do is wait and pray Frank." Doctor Gordon told the commissioner.
"Thank you doctor." That was all Frank could say before turning to his family in silence.
Frank looked into the eyes of his children and family. Tears fell from every single member and even some of Allyson's fellow officers.
"I want to know who did this. I want this guy and I want it done by the books." Frank said to Garrett. Garrett only nodded before Frank turned back to his children.
"Come on, we need to go see her. The doctor is only giving us a few minutes." Frank said walking down the hall.
"I'll stay here with the kids. You go five go." Linda said to everyone.
