Jamie felt like the wind had been knocked out of him. Everything around him became a blur. He felt two hands shove him into a chair.
"Jamie! Stay with me." Kara was yelling at Jamie, trying to get him to focus.
He tried jumping back up but she pushed him back down.
"What do we do?" Jamie was screaming.
"You wait here, a lot of other closer precincts are responding to it." Renzulli said.
It pained Renzulli knowing that there was nothing they could do at the moment. All they could do was wait for more information.
Danny Reagan came barging in, his eyes quickly searching for his brother. Him and Baez had been called in to help, he anticipated that he would need to negotiate with the driver.
"Kid, let's go." Danny yelled at Jamie.
"You can't bring him there!" Renzulli yelled back.
"Yes I can." He grabbed Jamie by the shirt and lead him out.
"Danny, what is going on? Please, please talk to me." Jamie begged.
Jamie got in the back and Danny jumped in the front and started driving fast.
Maria turned around to look at Jamie.
"They lost communication with her. Her cover was blown after Hayes picked her up."
Jamie felt sick. Maria realized she might have said too much, given the color that Jamie just turned. She looked at Danny quizzically.
"They uh, sorta just started dating." Danny whispered under his breath to her to explain.
Maria's eyes widened. She definitely said too much.
"Then why did we pick him up, Danny. I thought we were getting her partner to help us, not getting her boyfriend to make a scene." Maria hissed back at him.
"We need our options, he might help." Danny wasn't sure what to do.
Danny headed toward the bridge that Hayes had thrown the girls off of during the past few weeks. The unit command believed that is where he was heading. The bridge had been shut down and there was a barricade of police cars waiting. Danny's car came to a screeching halt. All three riders jumped out and immediately heard the sound of the multiple growing sirens in the distance.
They were no doubt chasing Hayes, and they were getting closer. The prediction was right. The officers on scene got ready. Jamie looked around, he wasn't sure what to do. Danny had dragged him into this with little information. Before he could ask for instructions, the car containing Hayes and Eddie came barreling down the road. The car was surrounded on all sides by police cars that were trying to slow the vehicle down.
Everyone took a breath and braced themselves.
Suddenly the car slowed down. The car began swerving and jerking back and forth violently. There appeared to be a struggle going on in the front seats. Eddie looked awake and she was swinging. The car was still moving when the driver door opened suddenly. Jamie watched in horror as Eddie was trying to shove Hayes out of the front seat.

Eddie
Eddie's eye fluttered open. The sirens had woken her up. She immediately remembered what was happening. The throbbing in her head was immense, he must have hit her. She felt a warm trickle down her neck, the earring must have cut her. He must have hit her panic earring if the sirens were following her. She took a moment to think of her options. She had no way of communicating with anyone and she couldn't just sit there, she had to fight.
The car made a quick turn and Eddie took that as her chance. She bolted up and started wailing on Hayes. He began screaming and jerking the steering wheel. It was working, he was distracted and had slowed down, the cops behind the car saw Eddie lunge at him and told everyone to surround him.
"She's awake!" one of the cars yelled into the radio.
"Surround the car, we're getting close to the river and we need to slow them down."
The cars went into position.
Eddie lunged across the driver's seat and managed to open the car door. She almost succeeded in throwing her captor out of the car but he fought his way back into the car. She looked up suddenly and saw all the flashing lights ahead of them. She saw the barricade that they were heading straight for.
"Shit!" Eddie screamed.
She threw her arms over her head and neck to protect herself and braced for impact. Everything went dark.

"Eddie!" Jamie screamed at the top of his lungs.
The car went screeching toward them and made sickening thud as the metal collided. He stood there in shock as he realized what happened.
Police with guns drawn ran toward the smoking car. Jamie was glued to the ground, but the next sight sent him into a sprint.
Hayes had someone gotten out of the wreckage was dragging an unconscious Eddie away from it. They were heading to the edge of the bridge.
Jamie drew his gun and ran, screaming to the others to alert them that Hayes escaped the car.
Hayes dragged her along the bridge and then looked out over the water.
He was holding Eddie upright in front of him, like a human shield. He had a gun pointed at her head.
"This is what happens when you mess with me!" Hayes was screaming like a mad man.
Jamie ran over the barrier and down the empty bridge toward Hayes and Eddie, ignoring the screams from Danny to stop.
Hayes was leaning against the guard rail. Eddie's eyes started to flutter open.
"Let her go and we can talk about this." Jamie yelled at him.
Jamie had outrun Danny, and now Danny was watching mortified from the side.
Jamie didn't have training in negotiating with armed perps.
He had talked people off bridges but this was a whole new ball game, and it was too late for anyone else to step in.
Danny turned toward Maria and whispered.
"Jamie won't be able to get a clear shot on him, tell them to set up a sniper from behind the wreck to take this guy out."
Maria nodded and slowly backed away to put the plan into action.
Eddie's eyes opened and she realized what was happening.
"Shoot him, Jamie!" She screamed.
Hayes wrapped his hand around Eddie's mouth as she started to resist, keeping the gun pointed at her.
"Shut up you stupid bitch."
"Hey! Let her go!" Jamie screamed again.
Hayes gently swung one of his legs over the rail.
Jamie's eyes widened.
"She's going to take a swim with me actually." Hayes said back.
Danny saw the situation escalating and swore under his breath.
He hit his radio.
"Baez, how are we coming on the sniper?"
"They're set up, they're trying to get a steady shot." Baez said
"Tell them to hurry, I don't think this guy is bluffing." Danny replied
"You don't have to do this, we can talk about this." Jamie said, trying to stay cool and reason with Hayes.
Jamie's and Eddie's eyes meet. He could hear his heart beating in his ears as her stared into her eyes.
Jamie gulped. He had an idea. He took a small step towards Hayes.
"Please don't hurt my family." Jamie said slowly.
Eddie's eyes widened. She knew what that meant.
She threw herself toward the ground like her life depended on it, because it did.
Hayes was caught off guard by Eddie's sudden dive to the ground.
Jamie fired a round into Hayes.
Hayes tumbled backwards over the rail and plummeted to the water while Jamie ran forward and pulled Eddie into his arms.
