Chapter 2-
Katy Reagan was not having a good day. First she had maths which the five year old could never do right as she was constantly reminded and then art where she was told off for using her crayons on the wall, due to running out of paper, today the five year old was looking forward to going home and watching cartoons with Jenna.
It was at the end of the school day when Katy went to get her raincoat and bag to sit on the bench just inside the door of the school. She was sat there for about five minutes, when the unmarked police car came by and stopped. Katy watched with interest- unmarked police cars were rare if there wasn't a murder or a crime warranting a detective but easily spotted if you knew what to look for and as the granddaughter of the police commissioner Katy knew what she was looking for. The detective in the car wasn't one Katy knew but that was usual and the five year old found her attention tuned elsewhere.
She looked up when she saw the detective come up to her, he was blonde with an open, trusting face and he was smiling broadly.
"Well you must be Katy Reagan, your Dad asked me to come and pick you up and take you back to my house." Katy stared at him "I don't know you" she said flatly and stared as the detective laughed a little manic
"My name's Jason and I work at you Daddy's precinct, your Nanny, Jenna is stuck in her English exam and your dad figured that rather than you waiting here you should come back to my house"
Katy tilted her head to the side, that was true she remembered Daddy saying this morning that Jenna would be late, she looked down to the badge on his belt, it seemed real and she knew that there were detectives at her Daddy's precinct at, any precinct, and if she was being truthful it was a better deal than sitting on the bench waiting for Jenna.
Nodding at Jason she hopped down from the bench, Jason picked up her schoolbag and led the way to the car. Due to putting on her seatbelt Katy missed the rather large and manic smile on Jason's face, and the image of Jenna who had just walked into the school.

It was late in the day and Jamie had just swung by Danny's prescient to put off the inevitable drag of paperwork, it had just gone four and the cop was happy that he only had another hour and a half before he could knock off from his shift and go home. He was sat with Danny the two of them, drinking coffee, talking about the job in a rare moment of free time. It was then that he got the phone call. "Hey Jenna" he said easily
"How's the little monster, driving you crazy?" there was a long pause and Jamie sat up straighter causing Danny to put down his coffee cup and stare at him sharply. "Ugh Mr Reagan" Jenna said her voice coming out cracking over the line "You didn't mention anything about the cop picking up Katy this afternoon I just wanted to know if he was dropping her off, at the apartment or if I could go home early?"
Jamie stared blankly at the wall opposite Danny, something must have shown in his face because his brother suddenly sat up straighter and his gaze became even sharper. "What cop Jenna, I didn't send a cop" and wow was that really his voice right now? "I thought you were picking her up"
There was a short pause and when Jenna spoke her voice had gone up a good few octaves. "Mr Reagan, I'm at the school right now, they said a cop pulled up told them and Katy he had instructions from you to pick her up and take her, not twenty minutes before I arrived"
Jamie dropped the phone. He vaguely heard it shatter on the floor before Danny picked it up, he couldn't think, couldn't breathe, all he could see was Katy, his little Katy, his adorable little angel in some guys car thinking and trusting that she was with a cop and therefore safe.
He felt like he was choking and not for the first time in his life he wished that this was a sick nightmare and he would wake up in his own bed. He was numbly aware that Danny was calling his name that Maria and Sgt Gormley were standing nearby, was vaguely sure that someone was making a call to his father and putting out APBs, because this was considered a child abduction now and oh God his baby had been abducted.
Looking down he saw his hands shaking, and his vision blurring, and he felt for the first time since becoming a cop completely and utterly helpless.

Katy stared out the window for the duration of the car ride therefore missing the look of glee that was written on the face of Jason Callan. The house he had took her to be massive, and as Katy looked around she saw a massive counter-top and a huge sofa.
Dropping down her bag she jumped on the sofa and began to flip through the channels. From the other room Jason watched her, he couldn't believe how easy it was to manipulate a five year old, and he had been convinced that a Reagan of all people would be the most difficult to manipulate. He picked up the photo of him and Lance taken the day before he had been arrested and wrongly convicted and smiled. Jamie Reagan didn't know what was coming.
