By the time they pulled up the scene was already chaotic with radio cars and Detective vehicles parked on the street. Renzulli got out of his side gun in hand scanning the scene not surprised to see Danny there.
"Hey Danny, what do we got," Renzulli called approaching the Detective. Hearing his estranged brother's name send Jamie's stomach in knots.
"Hey Sarg we had shots fired on the train that crew whose been terrorizing the 2. I was going to check if the hatch is popped you down?" Danny glanced past the veteran to his little brother giving a small nod of acknowledgment.
Danny led the trio down two blocks cursing as they approached the open subway hatch where his perps escaped from. "Son of a bitch.."
Jamie shone his light around directing their attention to small spots of blood on the sidewalk. "Hey I see blood."
The two veterans spun around turning to where the blood lay. "Good eye kid.." Renzulli complimented before reaching for his radio to call it in. "12 Sergeant requesting ESU and crime scene…"
Smiling at being complimented by his boss Jamie turned to look at his brother. Instead of a smile Danny rolled his eyes and ventured into the park. "Hey lets go rookie keep your weapon up. I see a body up ahead."
Raising his weapon up higher Jamie followed two steps behind his brother steadying the flashlight. "Hey let me see your hands," Danny ordered slowing to a stop as they approached the bench.
"Get your hands up," Jamie echoed moving behind the bench ready to fire in case the kid tried anything.
Slowly Danny shine the line in the kid's face, easing up when he pulled the hood back and the head followed. "This one's gone, did he bleed out from the stomach," Renzulli asked lowering his weapon.
"Didn't have a chance," Danny grumbled in frustrated at the sick minded perps he was dealing with.
While they talked Jamie stared at the dead body feet from him feeling his stomach turning ready to vomit. Before Renzulli or even worse Danny saw Jamie looked away using all his energy to wait until later if he had to get sock.
"Hey you okay there little brother? You need a vomit bucket or something," Danny teased laughing seeing Jamie's face. "Hey Sarg better take your rookie before he hurls."
Renzulli patted Jamie's back supportively walking back to the squad car slowly. "Are you and Danny always like that?"
"No we used to be close." Letting out a groan Jamie bent over getting sick just before they got in the car.
After tour Jamie returned to the bar scanning it until he found Eddie sitting in the back booth with two beers waiting. "Hey just ordered you a beer, how was tour," Eddie greeted as he sat across from her.
"Thanks it was..an eye opener. Saw my first dead body today and my brother had to be the one who found it.." Jamie trailed, taking a drink from his beer.
"You okay?" Eddie guessed the finding of a dead body after being on the force for only a few days didn't end well. She remembered seeing hers a month in with the same exact reaction as Jamie. "Hey, it's natural. No matter how tough the guys act they all won't admit how their first experience was."
Jamie nodded quietly sipping his beer embarrassed to even admit this to her. Putting down her beer mid drink Eddie slid out to move next to Jamie. "Look at me, there's nothing to be embarrassed about okay? If someone says they didn't react the way you did they're lying."
Eddie reached out to take his hand into hers blue eyes locking into his dancing as they met. "Thanks, " Jamie said softly, letting their eyes meet. She was pretty he admitted that, not just pretty beautiful.
"No worries, "Eddie replied. "I've only been on the job a little more than you have been. I'm only a few months off probation too and being a girl...We do feel certain things a little deeper, like that kid you had the other week. The guys rib you and push at you to make you cry in public."
"That's not fair," Jamie replied. "I cried for that kid. I know my brother Danny would say I was weak but..."
"You're not," Eddie replied. "Only strong men cry.' She gave him a smile. "You hungry? I know a gyro stand..."
Jamie laughed. "You and Renzulli with the food stands. Okay, let's go, I could eat now that I..."
Eddie laughed, "I'll treat you. This time."
As they walked to get their dinner, Jamie couldn't help but walk closely to Eddie. She smelled good, and when he bumped her arm, he skin was smooth as silk. If she was just a girl and he was just a guy..."Two lamb," Eddie told the clerk bringing him out of his reverie. Jamie reached into his pocket to pay.
"I said I had it," Eddie replied confused.
"I know but, this feels better," Jamie replying paying for both sandwiches and their drinks. They started eating while walking to the empty park finding benches easily with no one else around talking as they ate.
They say in the park for over an hour talking finally growing tired and deciding to call it a night. Jamie walked Eddie back to her apartment wanting to make sure she got there safe. Despite being a cop herself Jamie felt responsible in seeing her home safely.
Eddie silently ran a hand down her arm feeling the wind blow a chill through her. "You cold?" Before she answered Jamie slipped his jacket off to place around her shoulders.
"This was fun, thanks," Eddie told him stopping once outside her apartment building. She turned facing him feeling warmer with his oversized jacket around her noting how it held his cologne.
"Yea it was, and anytime I'm we're not working I'm down if you are." Jamie shifted meeting her eyes softening looking into hers deep. He leaned in slowly closing the distance between them until their lips touched.
Eddie leaned in closer wrapping her arms around his waist while he shadowed putting his around hers neither breaking the kiss. The wind snapped around them as their kiss lasted for another minute.
Pulling back Jamie smiled leaving his hands around her waist. "Better get inside its getting colder."
"Yea, thanks again." Eddie hesitated wanting to ask him in to stay, not wanting the night to end. "Thanks again," she whispered feeling his eyes on her as she walked inside.
As he walked home that night Jamie thought back to his time with Eddie with a wide grin. Even seeing his brother couldn't wreck his mood now.
Back at the 5-4 Danny slammed the file he's brought in on the desk catching his partner Jackie's attention. "Let me guess, didn't go well?"
"No the latch was opened which means Handsome and three of his crew are still out there. Jamie caught drips of blood which lead us to one dead crew member but that's all," Danny exhaled in frustration.
Jackie started typing on her computer, stopping when Danny mentioned his little brother's name, not hearing it since the family had that fight. "You saw Jamie? Did you speak to him?"
"I tried not to if I could help it, plus I was busy working. And no I'm not apologizing because I'm right so if anyone should apologize they should. Let's just get back to the case Jackie.." Giving her partner one more raised eyebrow Jackie turned back to her computer.
