After a silent moment to process all of this Danny hating himself for this finally found the courage to speak. Softly he said, "I – I think we should take the deal…."
Erin stepped in before he could finish as she exclaimed, "What Danny! Are you kidding me? You're just willing to leave your little brother in there to be tortured some more?"
But then Danny put a hand up to stop her and said calmly, "You didn't let me finish sis. We will try everything else possible to find them before we agree to anything. I will not just willingly hand my kid brother over to them and let them use him as a toy to beat on some more."
Quickly and desperately they decided to try something else.
Returning to the other room Danny pulled out the recording he had made of the brief conversation, hoping that somehow he could catch a noise in the background or something.
Looking for anything that would lead them to where Jamie and the kids were being held.
Finally after what appeared to be forever Danny jumped up and cried, "That's it!" As he finally was thinking that was a sound he knew well.
This was the sound of ships and near the bay and they realized there were warehouses there. Jamie and the kids had to be at one of them.
Excitedly they began to pull out maps trying to piece together where that specific sound could only be located near there.
Suddenly it hit Danny when he remembered where specifically by the bay he heard that sound before.
Eyeing the spot sitting there at his desk muttering, "Wait a minute wait a minute."
His sister looked at him carefully and asked, "Danny you got something?"
Leaning in further to make sure it was the place he thought it was nodded to his sister and father. "Yeah it's among those warehouses by the bay. That must be where he's keeping them. Stupid enough to allow his location to be found."
Finally they were getting somewhere, as Erin said, "Let's go!"
Calling for some backup on the way, Danny, Erin, and the commissioner climbed into their respective vehicles, requesting their backup to remain silent.
The kidnapper was stupid enough not to know they had found the location.
As they sped down the highway Danny kept praying his brother was okay. The man clearly had no intention of hurting their kids, but Jamie was an easy target.
With this thought in his mind, and the last image he had on the video of him, his concern grew by the minute, as he pressed harder on the gas pedal.
"Please be okay Jamie." Danny thought to himself as his big brother instincts kicked up a notch.
Ever since their big fight in the precinct, they had tried so hard to fix their brotherly relationship.
Deep down Danny knew a part of Jamie was missing since Joe died, and was looking for someone to fill that void for him.
Jamie mine as well have had a big sign up or something, that said Danny was the last brother he had, and he needed him.
Finally within a few moments they pulled up at the warehouse silently. As much as they did not want to wait for backup, they knew better.
If they chose to barge in ahead of the game, that would only further endanger their family.
Glancing around them as they heard gravel crunching, and wheels spinning, they saw a dozen police cars surrounding them.
Searching around the building carefully, Danny looked for windows, or anything that would give him a sign as to where his kids and Jamie were.
Carefully narrowing his eyes he caught sight of an injured Jamie barely clinging onto life inside.
His fists clenched with anger as his protective instincts were going crazy. Every part of him telling him to screw waiting he had to get in there.
Rushing back to his sister and his father he ran a hand down his face for a moment, and he said, "Pop, I saw Jamie he's barely hanging on in there, we have no idea where our kids are or if they're okay we gotta get in there now."
Feeling a gentle hand on his shoulder, he heard his father's soothing voice in his ear saying, "Don't worry son, we'll get them out I promise."
As the police officers surrounded the area, they began to form a plan that would get them closer inside, without alerting the abductors.
They knew both for Jamie and for themselves, their safest bet was to get their kids out safely first, as much as they hated the thought of not getting to Jamie right away.
Now they had a secure plan, and began to spread out around the warehouse, so if the abductors found out and tried to escape, they would be surrounded.
Danny insisted his father and his sister wait outside the warehouse ignoring their protests.
Considering a big part of their family was in there, as well as the abductors, for their safety he wanted them out of harms way.
Hurrying back near the warehouse, Danny searched for any sign of a door or window that could be open.
Seeing a window a crack open, but wide enough he could climb through, he signaled to the other officers, as he could not wait another minute.
Turning back to the open window, he carefully eased himself through to the other side, and dropped to the floor silently.
