Jamie had been sitting in the waiting room for what seemed like hours, when the doors opened and there was his Sister Erin, niece Nicky, and grandfather Henry. "Linda called us as soon as she heard it was Eddie" Erin stated. There were no secrets in the Reagan family. Henry looked at Jamie hands and got a little paler. "lets go get you cleaned up". "No, I need to be here if they come out with news about Eddie"

"Jamie, she is going to be there for a while, listen to grandpa. Nicky and I will be here if there is any word" Erin promised. "Can you call the correction facility and have the warden notify her dad please Erin". "sure." Erin said as she watched her grandfather walk her baby brother to the mens bathroom to get cleaned up.

Erin dials a number and moves to off to the side. "McBride!" "Alex, it's me Erin. I need a favor" "sure for my favorite ADA, anything" he said with a little hint of a flirt in there. If only it were the time for that. "Jaime partner Eddie was seriously injured in the line of duty" Erin blurted out a little to harshly.

"OMG, how is she" Alex said all business now. "She is in surgery and I don't know. It doesn't sound good., Jaime wanted me to call the Warden and have her Dad notified, but I don't think this is something he should here over the phone. Can you drive out there and get word to him. I will call you with any updates. You would be doing my family and I a big favor".

"Consider it done and I will swing by when I get a chance" Before Erin could say it was not necessary Alex had already hung up.

The double doors opened up. And in comes the Patriarch of the Blue Blood Family. Frank Reagan. He was flanked by Garratt and Sid and his security detail followed close behind him. "How is she?" Frank asked. "She is in surgery, but she didn't look good". Erin said "Jamie?"

"He is with Pop getting cleaned up. He is still shaken. Have you heard from Danny?" Erin asked her father

"No, he should have went straight to the scene". Frank dials a number. "Commissioner?", "Do we know what happened to my officer, detective?" "it looks like she was hit with some type of makeshift IED Rifle. Instead of shooting bullets, it shot out things you would see in an IED, nails, glass, etc. I haven't seen this much damage since I was in Iraq. How is she doing?"

"She is still in Surgery".

"and the kid?" Danny asked. "Haven't seen him yet, but I'm pretty sure is mixed up as much as you were when Linda got shot". "not to mention feeling guilty as hell that it was Eddie that got hit and not him".

"any leads on the shooter? " Frank asked.

"Crime Scene is here processing, hopefully we will get a print or two"

"keep my updated and swing by when you get a chance"

"will do Sir." Danny bends down and takes out his pin. He picks up what appears to be a trip wire that sent from the make shift rifle to the door. He needed to find out if Eddie rung the door bell or knocked. Did she idenfity herself as NYPD? These were important things to figure out because what if it had been the mail man, or a delivery person with the wrong address. Was she an innocent bystander or was she a target because she was NYPD.

Baez walks in. "So I talked to the neighbor that called it in." They were loud banging noised like someone was banging on the wall, but not the wall that joins the two apartment walls."

She said "it sounded like someone was banging a code, but she doesn't do morse code so she is really not sure. It just seemed like there was a pattern. This had been going on for two hours or so and that is just how long she had been home. It could have gone on longer than that"

"Did she say who lived in the apartment?". Danny asked. "Just some white guy with long dirty hair. Not someone you want to say hi to on the street. That is all the description she could give. She said that when she saw him she never did make eye contact with him because he was creepy"

"great, so every hippie in the city could be our suspect".

"Crime scene is looking to see if there are any camera's in the area that record. Maybe if we can see someone that looks like that we can get a positive ID. How is she?" Baez asked.

"Not good, the kid is a mess to".

" There is not much more we can do here until crime scene processes it, you wanna swing by the hospital to check in?" "Thanks Maria, I do." – Baez knew when Danny used her first name he was beyond worried about an issue.
