The following day Danny Reagan returns to work determined to find his brother's attacker.
"You're back? I thought you were going to stay at the hospital with Jamie." Maria greets him, watching her partner closely as he settles into his desk, anger and determination in everything he does.
"We have a case to work." He replies not meeting his partner's eyes.
"We're working Jamie's case? Are you sure that's a good idea?" she asks knowing how her partner can be and she doesn't even want to imagine how he will be when it's personal.
"It was officially assigned to us by the Commissioner so if you have a problem with that bring it up with the PC." He replies impatiently.
"Alright but you have to promise me that this will be like any other case, you can't make this personal." She replies sternly.
"I promise." He replies giving her a too bright smile.
"Alright, what have we got so far?" Maria asks turning into a total professional mode trying not to think about who the victim is.
"Police car was hit in the intersection by what has been described as a black sedan in the passenger side. After the initial accident the driver and passenger get out of the sedan masked and armed. They had pulled an injured and unconscious Officer Reagan out of the cruiser, which was when Officer Janko, while fighting for consciousness herself, fired at the perps and Officer Reagan. Far as we know the perps were not hit but Officer Reagan was shot twice by his own partner, once in the chest and the other in the abdomen." Danny replies coldly clearly trying to stay professional even though his emotions were a whirlwind of fury.
"She shot her own partner twice on mistake?" Maria asks unbelieving, in all her years working with the NYPD never has she heard of something happening like this.
"Yup, Internal Affairs are holding their own investigation into Officer Janko and that particular incident." Danny replies grinding his teeth in anger.
"If the perps went directly for Officer Reagan then this wasn't random. They knew who they were attacking, Jamie was targeted by somebody." Maria goes on anxious to get off the topic of Janko and onto the identity of their masked perpetrators.
"But what doesn't make sense is why they dropped Jamie when Janko opened fire. Why not let her kill him, his blood on her hands instead of theirs….unless they were not intending on killing him…"Danny voices aloud.
"It was an attempted kidnapping."
"And they'll more than likely try again."

Frank sets beside his youngest son's hospital bed, watching as he peacefully sleeps. It was in the early morning hours, dusk just breaking. Frank had called Garret just minutes earlier informing him he would be taking off the day to be with his son. Garret didn't argue.
Jamie had not woken up sense the paramedics had brought him but the doctors promised he should wake up soon and when he did Frank would be damned if he woke up alone.
"How is he?" Erin asks peeking her head into the doorway, two cups of coffee in hand and her eyes puffing from crying and lack of sleep.
"There's been no change, but the doctors expect him to wake soon." Frank sighs his eyes never leaving is son for too long, always anxiously looking for any signs of movement.
"He will recover dad. He's got Joe and mom looking out for him, they won't let him leave us." She reassures her father leaning up against the window sill and handing him a cup of coffee.
"I can't even think of losing another child, Erin. You, Danny or Jamie, I can't lose you." He replies his eyes still on his son's resting face silent tears running down his cheeks.
Erin doesn't say anything in reply she just rubs her father's shoulder comfortingly tears in her own eyes at the thought of losing another brother.
They stay like that till late afternoon, each of them taking turns in taking a nap or going down to the cafeteria for something to eat but never leaving Jamie alone.

The soft sounds of a steady beating and hushed voices fill his head making him feel somehow safe. At the same time he began to feel the pain that was throughout his entire body and a warm hand in his own. He gives the hand a light squeeze happy to know somebody was there in the darkness and pain.
"Jamie?" he can hear his father's concerned but happy voice making him anxious to open his eyes and assure him that he is ok.
Slowly Jamie opens his eyes blinking several times before focusing in on his father and sister's faces.
"W-Where am I?" the sound of his own voice to him was weak and horse making him even more confused.
"You don't remember what happened?" Erin asks furrowing her brow in concern.
"No, all I remember is going to work and then waking up here. Is Eddie ok?" Jamie asks concerned for his partner, for him he was here surely something must have happened.
"She just has a couple cuts and bruises." Erin lies not wanting to worry her brother with the bullet that had barley hit his partner or her head injury.
Jamie looks at his own mangled body and is surprised to find his leg and arm in a cast and multiple bandages over different wounds from where the glass had pierced his skin.
"What happened?" he asks again confused, trying to set up. The moment he even moves an inch pain shot through his entire body, making him feel like he had been stabbed. With a groan he gives in tears of pain filling his eyes.
Erin quickly adjusts the bed for her brother and helps him get as comfortable as possible before excusing herself so she can tell the doctor that Jamie is awake.
"Dad, what happened?" Jamie asks his father for the third time.
"You and Officer Janko were in a car accident. Your side of the car was hit by a black sedan at the intersection just a couple of blocks from your prescient. The men that hit you had pulled you from the car and were trying to drag you into their own vehicle before Officer Janko had fired off several shots, scarring them off." Frank explains still holding his son's hand in his watching to see if any of this was familiar to his youngest son.
"They were trying to kidnap me? Who? Did Eddie get any of them? Do they have any leads?" Jamie asks desperately searching for answers.
"Yes they were trying to kidnap you, as to who we have no leads yet. Officer Janko unfortunately did not hit the suspects and we still have no leads but detectives are working on the case." Frank replies trying to avoid the fact that his son was shot by his partner.
"If she didn't hit the suspects then who did she hit?" Jamie asks confused, surely Eddie hit something.
"She shot you twice, once in the abdomen and another in the chest. She almost killed you." Frank replies not meeting his son's eyes.
"S-She shot me? ...Is she ok? What was the extent of the damage?" Jamie asks shocked clearly not expecting that.
Before Frank could reply Dr. Dillard enters the room followed closely by Erin.
"As far as damage goes Jamie you are lucky. When they brought you in you had a lot of internal damage. We were able to repair what we could but had to remove your spleen and one of your kidneys. You also had a collapsed lung and six broken ribs. As I am sure you have noticed your right arm and leg are broken. Your leg was a nasty fracture that will require us to go in for a surgery at a later date. Far too much of the tissue and tendons were torn. You also have a severe concussion. As far as release dates go, I don't want to release you for at least two weeks. I want to make sure there is no other damage we may have missed and I want to make sure you can breathe properly on your own, when you do leave though I want you to stay with somebody. You have a long road to recovery ahead of you." The doctor admits.
"Alright thank you doc." Jamie smiles at the older man tiredly.
"I'll make sure the nurses bring you in some pain meds." The doctor promises before slipping back out.
As Jamie once again loses consciousness one thought kept floating through his mind, Eddie had shot him, Eddie had almost killed him.
