A/N: Sorry for the wait on this one and the fake chapter earlier in the week. I wanted to have this posted yesterday but our internet provider has been having massive problems leaving me without internet for 2+ days. I am currently at my grandma's so I can post this. I plan to have part two of the epilogue of Lost and Gone up as well as Reunion within the next few days. A huge thank you to my loyal readers! I thank you for ideas. Please don't forget to R&R.

For the family it felt like they could never get a break. Of course Jamie, Danny, and Erin always had cases that they were working on but none had hit so close to home.

Danny always knew that his father, sister and baby brother were prime targets for anyone wanting to seek revenge. However he never thought that his beloved Linda would be the one threatened. He always vowed that he would lay his life down before he allowed his family to get hurt. However in the past three weeks his father had been shot and his wife had been kidnapped. All because of his job.

He had heard that the Peruvian drug lord was bad news. After Danny had watched him kill David in revenge, because his girlfriend had been seeing the young man. Danny had watched David die in his arms. He had vowed he would make sure the monster went to jail; even it meant having to testify himself.

His sister had warned him to be careful and make sure he came home to his family. It was a sentiment that was shared throughout his entire family.

Linda had warned as well. He consciously changed the subject every time it had been brought up at the dinner table.

It was his job to protect them, however all of that flew out the window when he received the phone call that Linda wasn't answering the door. He wasn't sure what to think. His wife had been kidnaped. All because he was doing his job.

He was thankful that his partner was there to support him and keep him from falling apart. His father had helped in ways that he couldn't vocalize into words. It had been his dad and Jackie that kept him from panicking when they had found a hummer with an unidentified female in the back seat. When he had heard those words, his mind had forced him to think of what his life would be without Linda.

When he had finally reached his wife, he found that he could breathe again. As he held his trembling wife in his arms, he let the tears finally spill over.

"Hey Danny," Jamie quietly greeted as he walked out the back door. He had expected his brother to be at his sister-in-law's side the entire night. He had tried to keep his strong façade on when they had walked in the door, as if to not scare his nephews. When his father had told him that Linda had been taken his first thought was for his oldest brother. How would Danny react if his wife had been taken from him? He was thankful that they didn't have to find out. "How are you doing?"

"I'm… doing better," Danny started. He knew that he didn't have to hide anything from Jamie. His brother had become one a few people he could confide anything in.

"Today could have turned out so much different. I was forced to think of what…of what my life would be like without Linda. I can't imagine not having her in my life. Hell, she is my life. I…" Danny started but broke down. He felt his brother's arm around his shoulders. As if to ground him. "You have no idea how thankful I am that you shared that lead. We had nothing; I may have never found her had you not done that research."

"I was just doing my job Danny. I wanted to help in some way, anyway I could," Jamie answered softly.

"Kid, you saved Linda's life and mine. Thank you," Danny tearfully finished.

As Danny and his family drove home he was thankful that he still had all three of them. Coming to a stop outside their house he was amazed at everything he had and how easily it could have been lost. As he went to reach for his sons' backpacks he noticed a letter with his name on it sticking out of the side pocket of Jack's pack. Settling on the front porch of his house he takes in the letter that Jamie had written.

Danny,

When I first heard about Linda, I'll admit I was scared. Not for me but for what the family would lose if you lost her. It is certain that we would have lost you. However I was most scared for you. We all knew there was no way you would be the same person. I had to do something to help you guys. Linda is as much my sister as Erin is. I had to do something to bring her home. Do not blame yourself for any of this, for I know your wife does not blame you for any of it. You did your job, you found her, and you brought her home.

Jamie

He didn't realize until he was done reading that his wife had joined him on the front steps. Danny finally allowed for himself to breakdown in Linda's arms.

As Jamie was leaving for his tour the next morning he noticed a text message from Danny.

Kid, you have no idea exactly what you did for me and my family. You saved Linda, and you saved me. Thank you. - D
