Disclaimer: I don't know Eddie's badge number, or address or much about police procedure, just what I've picked up on from the show so I've made some stuff up if anything isn't accurate please just ignore it.
Around seven Eddie got up. When Jamie had gotten up an hour earlier he had woken her up but she pretended to be asleep because she thought it was cute how he didn't want to wake her. She went to open the curtains to let some light in. As she pulled back the curtains she was immediately stunned. Taped to the outside of her window was a large white poster board with sloppy red letters reading "Watch your back: cop, you've been warned". It was like a nightmare but there was no waking up from this.
At the sight of the warning, she immediately grabbed her off duty weapon and phone quickly dialing 9-1-1. When the operator picked up Eddie replied without hesitation "this is off duty Officer Janko of the 12th badge number 61283. I need to request police backup to 128 west 47th st apartment 4b." When she hung up with 911 she was shaking. She had her gun in her hand as she took cautious steps toward the front of her apartment. She wanted to be by the door for when other officers showed up.
Soon two officers were at her door. Eddie greeted them and explained the situation. After checking the apartment to make sure nobody besides Eddie and the officers was inside, they quickly decided to call in the detectives who knew about her case. While they were waiting for the detectives to arrive one of the officers spoke up, "Janko, come in the hall for a second, there is a phone on the ground I want you to tell us if you recognize it" Eddie went outside and when she saw the cell phone lying on the carpet hallway she immediately froze. It was Jamie's.
He never would've just dropped his phone in the middle of the hallway so she knew it meant something really terrible had happened.
She knew immediately what it meant but needed verification. She went back inside and called Renzulli. "Janko! What's up?" He answered in his typical happy go lucky way. "Hey sarge, did Reagan show up for roll call tonight?" She asked immediately. "Come to mention it no. And it's not like him. I trained that kid to always be punctual he's never missed a tour in his life. I tried calling him but no answer."
At that point she broke down. Her worst fears had just been confirmed. This whole time she had been shaking while still maintaining composure, but with Jamie, her boyfriend, in danger she couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Janko are you crying? What's going on?" Sarge said his voice suddenly realizing something was very very wrong. "I don't know- he was here this afternoon- he was here- he- he-" she was trying to explain between sobs but this was all she could get out.
"Janko, where are you? I'm on my way" Renzulli asked. Eddie struggled to give her address and hung up. She knew there was one more person she needed to call.
"Thank you for calling the 54th precinct of the NYPD. How can I help you?" "I need to speak with detective Reagan, this is Officer Janko and it's important" she said.
The officer transferred her to Danny who picked up quickly. "Reagan." He answered "Danny. This is officer Janko. I need help, now. I think Jamie is in trouble." At this point she broke down again. Danny froze. He couldn't lose another brother. "Eddie I don't know what's going on but give me an address and I'm on my way."
When he hung up with Eddie he started scrambling to grab his coat and keys. He was at home and had just finished dinner with Linda and he boys. "Danny, what's wrong? Was that Eddie, Jamie's friend." Linda asked seeing the concern on his face. "Yeah it was. She thinks he's in some trouble. I don't know what's going on so don't tell the boys but honey I need to go." "Be safe." She said planting a fast kiss as he walked out the door.
Danny called Baez on his way. By the time he rolled up there were several cop cars and another detective's car at the scene. He walked Jamie's car parked by the front door. He knew this couldn't be good.
While Eddie was waiting on Danny Renzulli arrived. He was followed by a young, pretty, female officer. The same officer Eddie had seen walking with Jamie two days earlier. "Janko, this is Officer Coulter, Reagan's new partner. I was riding with her since he never showed up when I got your call. Janko what happened here?" Renzulli asked
When Danny got to her floor he saw it had been marked with crime scene tape. Jamie's cell phone was still on the floor where it had been left. Danny walked into Eddie's apartment where Eddie was just starting to explain her story to Renzulli, Coulter, the two responding officers and the detectives from 34.
"Jamie came over this morning because he had heard about the dangerous end to my undercover case." She started. "I was really shaken up from it so he came over to check on me. He calmed me down, made me eat, and then convinced me to sleep because I hadn't been able to sleep after Monday night's events" she explained purposefully leaving out any romantic details. "He had to be at roll call at seven so around six I heard him leaving but I could tell he was trying not to wake me up so I pretended not to hear him leave. Around seven I got out of bed a-and I went to pull back the curtains to let light in and I saw the sign, so I grabbed my phone and gun and called it in. I didn't hear anything after the door clicked shut when he left. I just assumed he left and went home, he-he told me everything would be okay and that-that they couldn't hurt me" she said starting to get emotional again.
Baez started questioning Eddie. "Eddie I know this will be hard but I need you to help me. Is there anyone you can think of who would be out to get you or Jamie?" "I'm pretty confident it has to do with my undercover case. Jamie and I didn't typically piss people off on tour, I mean we did what we had to do but we mostly helped people when we could and since we weren't detectives we rarely did anything more than make the initial arrest. I think it's the Tarino family, or some sort of hit man or something hired to do this" she confessed. "Okay, do you know where they could be or anything else that could help us find Jamie?"
Eddie felt sick. She realized how little she had actually learned undercover. She didn't really know much about the Tarino family, even the basics. She shook her head no and muttered, "this is all my fault" Baez immediately stopped her "Eddie I know this is really hard on you but you can't blame yourself" "I feel so stupid. I knew I should have made him go home this morning. I didn't want to let him in but I did. I should have never taken the assignment I should have just stayed on beat with Jamie and none of this would have ever hap-" "Eddie!" Maria exclaimed to stop her blubbering. "Eddie, calm down. What happened happened. For whatever reason it did and now it's done. Stop dwelling on what you should have done or could have done and help us do something now. None of this is your fault. You've done the right thing all the way so now help us find Jamie" Maria pleaded.
Meanwhile Danny's head was spinning. His little brother was in danger. He knew that much. The poster and cell phone, he thought. There have to be fingerprints. Maybe we can get some security footage from the building with a car outside or someone in he hallway or on the fire escape where someone had to go to hang the warning on her window.
Before he could do anything Danny knew who he had to call. The phone rang twice before Baker picked up. "Hey Baker, it's Danny, I need to take to my dad." "He's in a me-" "It's urgent" Danny interrupted.
Baker walked into the commissioner's office where Frank was sitting with the mayor and a couple other important city leaders. "Sir, Detective Reagan is on the phone." She interrupted Frank looked at her with a passive yet worried expression. He knew Baker had enough sense not to interrupt and important meeting with a phone call unless something was seriously wrong. "Excuse me for a moment." Frank said to the leaders.
When he reached the hallway he asked Baker, "which hospital?" "No hospital that I'm aware of yet." She answered and he took the phone. "Reagan." Frank answered. "Dad, I picked up a big case just now." "Danny, you've been a detective for years, one of my best might I add, you've worked plenty of big cases. What makes this one worthy of interrupting my meeting with the mayor?" Frank asked slightly annoyed but also bracing for the worst "Dad, I think Jamie is the victim" Frank's face immediately fell into a passive yet somber expression. "Well Detective, you have all the department's resources at your disposal. Do whatever it takes to find your brother, but try to keep your emotions from getting in the way of solid detective work." After a brief pause he added, "now back to work. Jamie doesn't have time for us to waste"
