Shoulder to shoulder they looked over the list of names Marcus sent hoping one would stick out as a possible lead. While working on their part the older Detective helping them while Danny was on medical leave went back to interview the perp they collared trying to flip him.
"Okay, take your time Eddie.." Jamie took her hand while they scrolled through pictures from Eddie's past silently supporting her. "If you recognize anyone let me know.."
Eddie scanned each row scrolling down until they reached the end shaking her head. "No sorry I remember them but they were all really nice. None of them seemed the type to come after me for revenge, sorry."
Offering a smile Jamie hugged her close leaving the laptop screen open cradling her close. "It's okay my partner is working on something else. I promise we'll catch this guy Eddie so your safe." His hand worked up and down her arm slowly hoping his partner would be able to find something.
The door opened then closed followed by footsteps from the sound of it belonging to two people. Turning back Jamie smirks seeing his nephews walking into the living room. "Uncle Jamie!" He stood up catching them to give a big hug.
"Hey guys oh this is Eddie ..Eddie these are Danny's boys Jack and Sean," Jamie ruffled both their hair while they turned to take in the young blond they'd heard so much about.
"She's really pretty uncle Jamie why didn't you ask her out sooner," Sean looked back at his uncle confused when Jamie only blushed. Laughing under her breath Linda quickly ushered them to them kitchen so they can say hi to Henry.
Eddie gave a smirk reaching out and cupping Jamie's hand into hers. "Pretty smart those two, they seem like really good kids. "
"They are.." Jamie looped an arm around her shoulder looking past her into the kitchen watching the boys talking quietly while Linda spoke to Henry only pieces heard from the other room. A sad smile found Jamie's lips watching the boys hug their grandfather tenderly despite Henry being healthy for his age.
"Those boys are great, Danny he hardly shows a soft side but he does around them. Must be nice having a family of your own you know raising kids seeing them grow up.." Eddie turned to give a curious look wondering if he was going where she thought.
"What are you saying Jamie?"
Holding her hands tightly in his Jamie faced her eyes locked with hers eyes dancing with a serious look. "I'm saying seeing those boys and my niece I don't know I guess I've longed for a family of my own. "
Eddie stared at him frozen in shock at what he was talking about. She opened her mouth to respond but nothing came out. Closing and opening again Eddie started to say something stopping when Jamie's phone rang. Groaning under his breath Jamie fished the object out answering. "Reagan..really? Okay shoot me the address.."
"We got him Eddie my partner flipped the kid we brought in we know who is coming after you, they're held up in Queens so I have to go." Before she could say anything Jamie pulled her into a tight hug with a soft kiss. "I'll come back safe promise. Pops I have to go.."
Jamie took off leaving Eddie standing alone in the living room staring once again having time to think over what he said.
When he arrived in scene Marcus waited with a team of four other cops guarding the door while they waited. "They're inside all four of them including the leader Taylor Davis. You all set?"
Giving him a quick nod Jamie pulled his weapon out taking a deep breath before nodding at the other officers to knock down the door. "Police freeze." Jamie moved in first weapon drawn taking in the scene quickly. They appeared in a decent sized living room equipped with a couch two end tables on each side decorated with lamps. A 50 inch television played from the wall straight across from the couch.
Hearing the order all four men scrambled in different directions followed by members of the team. "Go after Taylor we got them," Marcus ordered pointing to the middle aged man who took off out the window. Jamie turned racing out the front door to catch up.
"Police, stop," he yelled wishing for once someone would listen and just freeze. Taylor skidded on the wet pavement turning down an alley jumping over trash cans trying to escape the police officer.
Panting breathlessly Jamie slipped turning into the alley getting right back on his foot to continue the pursuit. "Stop police.."
Taylor jumped off both feet landing halfway on a chain fence scaling up followed closely by the officer still ordering him to stop. Grunting at the cop's insistence Taylor jumped over landing easily landing on both feet agile. "Stop right there.." Jamie lunged as soon as he landed knocking Taylor down off his feet.
"Stop resisting your under arrest for the murder of Jason Williams and the attempted murder of Eddie Janko. You picked the wrong woman to mess with, this will teach you not to go after my girlfriend," Jamie grumbled, pinning Taylor to the ground so he could grab the cuffs.
Taylor shifted to his side throwing an elbow into Jamie's arm knocking him off balance. Working quickly Taylor grabbed Jamie's hands decreasing any chance the officer could fight back raising his knees knocking the wind out the younger man. Jamie sucked in a breath, digging an elbow into Taylor's stomach forcing him to let go. For good measure Jamie threw a right hook that connected with the face temper boiling.
"Don't ever go after my girlfriend again.." Jamie warned growling. He flipped Taylor over managing to get the cuffs over Taylor's hands reading his rights. He stood lifting Taylor by the arm roughly taking him back to their team glad Eddie was safe. .
