A Thin Blue Line
Prologue
St. Victors Hospital
Manhattan, New York
Doctor Andrew Parker was the on call surgeon for the ER that evening. He had just finished stitching up a car accident victim. For Dr. Parker what he was doing now was different than what he had been doing. Dr. Parker for six years had served in the United States Army serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, trying to put back together young bodies torn apart by IED's and pitched urban battles. Then one day he reached a point, where he resigned his commission and took the job at St. Victors. This was easier than combat hospital at least according to him.
"Dr. Parker?" A nurse called after knocking on the door of the where the Doctor was cleaning up.
"Yes Nurse Kelly?" Dr. Parker said after turning his head.
"We received a call. An officer with gunshots wounds is inbound. Be here in a couple minutes." Nurse Kelly told the doctor. She looked down at her notes. "Looks pretty serious."
"Prep Trauma Bay one, and call the blood bank and have them on standby." Doctor Parker ordered coming out of the room. Nurse Kelly nodded and moved to the phone. He moved towards the entrance of the ER. A small team was already out there. "Coming by ambulance?"
"No squad car." One of the nurses reported. They heard the sirens and saw the car tear into the lot coming straight towards them. A team with a gurney was coming outside as the car pulled to a stop.
"Over here." Eddie Janko called out to the team who was moving as soon as the car stopped. She opened the door and started to pull the person in the back out.
"Hold on officer we got…" One of the nurses started to say when she realized who it was. "Oh my god, its Jamie."
"Who?" Dr. Parker asked as the team was carefully moving the unconscious and severely wounded officer out of the car.
"Linda Reagan's brother in law." The nurse answered as they loaded him onto the gurney. She shut the door. "He's the police commissioner's youngest."
"Right now he's our patient. Let's move people." Dr. Parker order as the team started to wheel the gurney with Jamie on it into the ER with Ortega and Eddie behind them. "I need B/P, pulse, full work up, cross and match, and get the OR on standby."
The team wheeled its way through the ER and towards a trauma bay. They wheeled the gurney to a stop and put the brakes on. A nurse was already cutting through the shirt, while another was working on cutting the pants after removing Jamie's equipment belt. Eddie was a couple steps behind when she was stopped by a nurse.
"Officer you need to wait out here." The nurse ordered who blocked the path into the trauma bay.
"Ma'am you don't understand that's my partner." Eddie pleaded while in tears, trying to get around the nurse.
"I understand that officer, but you need to let us help him." The nurse stated blocking the path of Eddie again.
"I understand ma'am but that's my partner." Eddie again pleaded through her sobs still trying to get to Jamie. She wanted to tell him more, how she loved him since day one, wanted to marry him and have his children. "Ma'am please."
"I'm sorry. We'll find you." The nurse said pushing Eddie back towards Ortega and closing the bay doors.
"Janko, come on, he'll be alright." Ortega said to Eddie pulling her into a bear hug. Eddie broke down in his arms, not knowing if her partner, friend and love will make it.
New York City Hall
Manhattan, New York
"You have to understand Frank, your daughter in law's shooting at a hospital is bringing an issue to the front." The mayor of New York Carter Poole said leaning back a little bit from his desk. "The council, the NYPD and I were getting hit hard in the press. The council wanted to see what it would cost."
"At the safety of the constituents that they promise to represent." Frank Reagan replied to the mayor's statement. He shifted in his seat. "Mr. Mayor, while it would make the hospitals safer, it would put the citizens at more risk, not to mention my officers."
"Nobody wants to pay for the increases Frank, and nobody wants to take officers off the street. We'll find a way to do this." Mayor Poole countered Frank's statement as there was a knock on the door. "Come in."
"Excuse me, Mr. Mayor, Commissioner." Detective Abigail Baker said as she came in. Both men noticed the look of fear and sadness on her face. "I'm sorry sir this is important. It's Sgt. Renzulli"
"Excuse me Mr. Mayor." Frank said getting to his feet quickly walking over to Baker. "What hospital?"
"St. Victor's sir, and sir, its Jamie." Baker replied as calmly as she could.
"Frank I…." Mayor started to say rolling towards them after hearing the name of Sgt. Renzulli.
"Excuse me sir." Frank said walking out of the mayor's office with his detail racing head to get to the car. Frank pulled out his cell to make the calls.

"I hate this part of the job partner." Reagan said typing into forms on his computer. They had just finished up with meeting with IA over their discharge of weapons at the warehouse and Muhammad Hassan.
"Yeah, but he did it to himself Reagan. You can't fault yourself for that." Baez answered her partner's statement while typing in her information onto the same form she would have to file.
"Yeah, but we should be heading home already." Reagan replied finishing up another page of the paperwork. His phone rang and he looked at the screen. "It's the commissioner. I'll see if you can change the forms."
Baez smiled at the comment as Danny answered his phone. "Yes commissioner." Yet Baez saw the color drain from her partners face.
"What is it Reagan?" Baez asked.
"Its Jamie." Danny replied getting up and putting on his coat, grabbing his weapon, and keys. Baez was right behind him. Danny placed another phone call.

"Laura will you please make sure that Mr. Sorenson received the copy of the evidence report before you leave?" Erin requested to her assistant as she was gathering her stuff to leave for the evening.
"Yes Ms. Reagan. You have a good night." Laura answered as Erin closed her door and started to walk towards the elevator.
"You too." Erin said as she stopped and pressed the button to call the elevator. Her phone rang and she noticed it was her father. The doors opened to let her on. "Hey Dad, I'm about to get on…."
Erin let the doors close as she received the messege from her dad. She started to tear up but she kept her composure long enough to place a call to her daughter to give her the news.

"Hey mom when is dad coming home?" Jack asked as he set the table for dinner.
"In a little while honey. He had some paperwork to finish." Linda said coming down the stairs carefully with her friend from the hospital Lucy after Linda had showered. "Thanks Lucy, you didn't have to stay."
"Oh I don't mind. Sam is working a swing tour, and Janet is spending the night at friends." Lucy replied helping Linda to the couch. She was also married to a police officer, so she knew about the life.
Linda's cellphone rang at the same time did Lucy's. Linda smiled as she looked at the screen. "Hey Danny you on…."
Linda's face drain as did Lucy who received the news from the hospital. Linda yelled for the boys to shut off dinner as Lucy helped Linda get her stuff and the boys together as they were leaving to get to St. Victors.

"Okay, breath sounds good on both sides, no fluid buildup." Dr. Parker said after listening to Jamie's breathing. He listen then to the heart. "Heart is erratic right now. What's his pressure?"
"80/60." One of the nurses said after taking a look on the screen. "His pulse ox is also low too doctor."
"Bullet might have nicked something. Where's that blood." Dr. Park asked as he felt around the back of Jamie. "Okay no exit wound."
"Blood is on the way doctor. We had to wait for the match." Another nurse said as she forced fluid from an IV into Jamie who was still unconscious.
"What is he?" The nurse who recognized Jamie said.
"B positive."
"Okay. I need that blood now, tell them to hurry up." Dr. Parker ordered to which a nurse nodded and left the trauma bay. "How's the leg wound look?"
"Not bad doctor, no major damage doctor." Another nurse replied as she finished checking the leg wound.
"I heard that we have an officer….." The Chief of Staff Dr. Johnathan Franklin said as he walked in and noticed who was on the gurney. "Oh god, Its Linda's….."
"John right now he's a patient, and we need to save him." Dr. Parker told his boss who nodded and grabbed some gloves. "What's his pressure now?"
"70/50." A nurse replied to the question as she looked at the screen. "Pulse ox is also dropping too."
"He's bleeding out internally." Dr. Parker said exasperated. He looked around at the group. "Where the hell is my blood?"
"Right here doctor." The nurse, who went out to check on the blood, replied. "I have six units."
"Hang two and force them in. Have the remaining on standby. Call the OR and tell them to get more as well." Dr. Parker said to the nurse who nodded.
"He's not going to make it to the OR if we can't stabilize his pressure." Dr. Franklin said as he began to assist on Jaime.
"I know." Dr. Parker said. He looked at the wound and decided on a course of action. "Get me an abdomen kit and an internal suture kit."
A nurse quickly went to a drawer to retrieve the items while Dr. Franklin look at Dr. Parker. "Andrew what are you doing?"
"Patching a hole before he dies." Dr. Parker answered the question as the nurse brought over the abdomen kit and sutures. "I need help on suction."
Dr. Franklin nodded and moved around to help Dr. Parker. As soon as he was ready, Dr. Parker used the kit to make an incision into Jamie's abdomen Blood filled the area near the wound as Dr. Franklin began to suction out the blood as Dr. Parker searched for the cause of the bleeding.
"Found it. Bullet nicked the right iliac artery." Dr. Parker said after find the problem. He motioned over a nurse to hold the small intestine aside while he worked on the patch. "Bullet just missed hitting the small intestine."
"How did that happen?" Dr. Franklin asked as he watched Dr. Parker make the patch.
"Doctors." A nurse called holding up Jamie's equipment belt. "The bullet ricocheted off a magazine from his pouch."
"Damn." Dr. Parker said as he was finishing of the patch. He looked at the nurse. "What's his pressure now?"
"Stabilizing at 65/45 and starting to come up a bit." A nurse said.
"Alright, this patch won't last long, pump the other units in him on the way to the OR." Dr. Parker ordered as he removed the tools from Jamie's gurney. "Let's go."
As the trauma team was preparing to move Jamie, Frank walked into the waiting room of hospital. Several of Jamie's platoon were there after being relieved by the midnight tour and more were on the way in. As soon as the word got out the next shift started to show up to relieve them. Frank walked over to Eddie who was with her fellow officers.
"Officer Janko." Frank said as he walked over. The officers in the waiting room jumped to their feet. "As you were. How you doing Eddie?"
"Worried about Jamie sir." Eddie said in between tear. They assembled officers heard from Ortega what Jamie and Eddie said to each other while on the way to the hospital. Eddie just looked at her boss without looking around. "He lost conscious and was pretty bad sir when we brought him in."
"Frank." Dr. Franklin called out as he came into the waiting room. He over to where Frank was standing.
"John, how's my boy?" Frank asked Dr. Franklin.
"They got him stabilize enough to move to surgery Frank. The bullet nicked an artery." Dr. Franklin quickly explained. He looked over at the group that was there. "Dr. Parker is the best as he comes, combat doctor. We'll come and get you."
Frank watched as the chief of staff of the hospital walked away.
