Chapter 10
Everyone arrived at the Reagan house for their usual family dinner, everyone had been warned that Eddie would be joining them and Frank explained why and they all understood why.
Jamie pulled up outside of the house "you okay?"
Eddie looked at him "yeah why wouldn't I be."
Jamie showed Eddie round the back of the house "it will be easier for you than going through the front of the house and having everyone pounce on you."
Eddie nodded "your house Jamie, your rules."
They walk into the kitchen; Erin looked up and saw them "Hey guys, sneaking in the back Jamie."
Jamie nervously smiled "yeah our family can be a bit intense."
Eddie bit her lip "we didn't sleep well last night due to everything and Jamie ran out of coffee."
Erin nodded "I shall make up a pot."
Eddie smiled "my new favourite Reagan."
Jamie held up his hands and went to join the others; he explained to them that Eddie was in the kitchen and not to approach her until she had had her coffee.
Eddie huffed at his statement "I heard that Reagan!"
Erin hands Eddie a cup "here you go, are you okay?"
Eddie rubbed her arm "yeah, I only grabbed a few things when I left my apartment and one of the things that I need I left behind."
Erin pointed at her arm "you hurt your arm."
Eddie rolled her sleeve up "just a scar, I have some cream that stops it from itching sometimes."
Linda had walked into the kitchen and noticed Eddie's arm "that's from a burn, when did you get burnt Eddie?"
Eddie covered it back up "When the patrol car I was in was set on fire along with my partner."
Jamie had time his entrance perfectly "you were hurt?"
Eddie looked at him "Do you always have to listen to other people's conversations Jamie?"
Jamie put his hands on his hips "you were hurt Eddie?"
Eddie rolled her eyes "Yes okay, while I was dragging you to safety."
Jamie sighed "why didn't you say anything Eddie?"
Eddie took a sip of her coffee "I'm fine Jamie; I noticed when I got home and it was late and I just wanted to help find the person who was trying to kill my partner. You have to realise Jamie in our work world you are more important than I am."
Jamie couldn't believe what he was hearing, Erin and Linda decided to leave them to it and Linda made sure that the door was shut so that Jamie and Eddie could have privacy.
Jamie sat down opposite her "you are just as important as I am Eddie, where is this coming from?"
Eddie rolled her eyes "You don't get it to do you Jamie, your family cannot afford to lose another member and you are my partner so it is my job to make sure you get home to them; I am going to try my hardest to make sure that happens Jamie."
Jamie nodded "I'm just another cop Eddie just like everyone else."
Eddie faintly smiled "I know that but this cop family can't afford to lose another cop member and the 12th can't afford to lose another great cop, you got that partner."
Jamie smiled at her "Same here Janko, you're a great cop and it my job as your partner to make sure you get home to your take out containers in one piece."
Eddie started to laugh and she hit him "shut up."
The two of them walked into the dining room where the other Reagan family members were waiting to either pull the partners off of each other or to happily greet Eddie to their family Sunday dinner.
Erin smiled at them "are you guys waving the white flag?"
Jamie nodded "for now, we have decided to play nice until Danny catches Wilder."
Danny nodded "yes I will catch him, he'll slip up eventually they always do."
Nicki was helping Hannah set the table when she scanned the street and she saw someone standing across the street, Hannah came up behind her "move Nicki."
Nicki looked over her shoulder at her cousin "Whose that?"
Hannah put the plates down on the table and looked out of the window "erm that's *whispers* Dominic."
Hannah tried to get to the front door but Nicki grabbed her wrist "Hannah don't, he is 6ft away and if you go over to him YOU'LL break the restraining order."
Hannah just stared at her cousin "but Nicki he is just standing outside Grandpa's house, this house is meant to be a safe place for us to come if we can't go home, you know the rules."
Nicki turned Hannah around and made her look at their busy family members "Hannah there are five people in this house with a gun including Pops and Eddie, I'm pretty sure we are perfectly safe INSIDE the house."
Jack saw them "what's going on?"
Nicki looked at her cousin "Dominic's across the street."
Jack turned around before anyone could stop him "DAD!"
Hannah put her hand on her forehead "Jack don't, he's across the street and there is no way he can get in this house in one piece."
Danny looked at his kids and niece "what's going on kiddos?"
Jack sighed "sorry Han, Nicki and Hannah saw Dominic standing across the street."
Danny looked over at his daughter and niece "oh really? And when were you two going to mention that to us?"
Hannah sighed "Never, come on dad we are all perfectly safe inside and Dominic knows that, he may be stupid but he's not brain dead."
Jamie walked over to them "whose not brain dead?"
Danny looked over at his baby brother "Dominic's standing across the street."
Jamie looked around to make sure Eddie wasn't in the room "don't let Eddie hear you; she'll go after him and demand he gives up his cousins whereabouts."
Sean was in the kitchen "too late Uncle Jamie." As they heard the back door slam shut.
Jamie and Danny both ran out of the front door to stop Eddie from harming the teenager or getting hurt herself because if Dominic was across from the house they had no idea if Thomas Wilder was around too.
Jamie managed to grab Eddie around her waist "Eddie no, get back in the house."
Eddie looked at Jamie "are you serious? The guy who is harassing your niece is only a few feet away and you are more concerned about my safety."
Jamie struggled with her "No I am worried that my partner is going to get herself hurt or lose her badge, now get back inside the house."
Jamie managed to calm Eddie down and get her back into the house with a little help from Danny who kept his eye on Dominic and who had hand on his holster to show Dominic he wasn't afraid of using it to defend his family especially his little girl.
Henry looked at Frank "It looks like Jamie's got a good person watching his back."
Frank nodded "Eddie Janko is a good cop Pop and she is a good partner to Jamie."
Jamie looked at Eddie "do you have any idea how dangerous that was?"
Eddie just looked at him "You do realise that I am a New York City Police Officer and a stupid teenager doesn't scare me and neither does his sick in the head cousin. Jamie we had a chance to figure out where Dominic Wilder could be hiding isn't that what you want."
Jamie shook his head "You have no idea where Wilder is Eddie, he could have been hiding in a bush out there ready to take one of you or harm you both just because he can."
Erin stepped in between them "Everyone is safe and fine let's remember that so we can all sit down and enjoy dinner."
Eddie nodded "your right Erin, I'm sorry."
Erin smiled "its fine, it happens a lot in this house hold but you have to hug and make up, house rules."
Jamie opened his arms "C'mon partner."
Eddie hugged him back "thanks for having my back Jamie but try to remember I'm a cop just like you."
Jamie nodded "I know but I already lost one partner and I don't want to lose another one, I kinda like having you around Janko."
The Reagan family and guest sat down to enjoy their Sunday dinner, everyone was talking about their week, Jamie was trying to explain something to Nicki and the boys but Eddie kept butting in as he was explaining it wrong and missing out key details.
Henry looked over the rim of his drinking glass at Frank and winked at him, the whole family could tell that there was something deeper between Eddie and Jamie but they would let them deal with it when they themselves realised it.
Jack looked up at his sister "I'm sorry Hannah."
Hannah faintly smiled "it's okay Jack, just a shame he wasn't any closer to the house because then he could have been arrested and I would have been free from him."
Danny put his arm around Hannah's shoulders "I know sweetie and we'll get him plus his creepy cousin but we have to do this safely so that no one gets hurt in the process."
Jamie nodded "Exactly."
Hannah looked at her Uncle "But Dominic is turning violent, what happens if his next time swinging the metal pipe doesn't hit Rosalyn but hits someone else and if he does I won't be held responsible for my actions because I am tired of playing the victim."
Erin looked worryingly over at her niece "what does that mean Hannah?"
Hannah sighed "I'm tired of playing the victim; I just want this game of cat and mouse to end."
Linda looked down at her daughter "and it will honey you just have to let your father do his job."
Nicki looked at her cousin "I know some pre-law students if you want a defence lawyer."
Hannah smirked "Oh trust me I already have a lawyer on speed dial."
What is Hannah planning on doing?
