After desert was finished and coffee cups emptied Danny and Jamie found themselves in the kitchen washing and drying dishes. Jamie scrubbed the plate handing it to his brother, " hey enough with the silent treatment kid I feel terrible about scaring Liam. Just a lot of pressure with this case.."
"I know Danny and I'm trying not to add more. You love Liam and wouldn't intentionally scare him.." Jamie set the plate aside sighing. "He's just still.." The brother's eyes caught both exchanging an understanding nod.
Jamie turned back to the sink picking up a coffee cup to wash feeling Henry's eyes boring a hole through his back. "Yea I know but he's shown a big improvement from when you first brought him home. He wouldn't even come to Sunday dinner..it'll just take time," Danny took the plate drying it with a towel then set it down.
Jamie's cell phone buzzed interrupting the cleaning process, bringing a sigh to the new commissioner. Wiping his hands quickly Jamie pulled out his cell answering it. "Reagan?"
"Sorry to interrupt dinner sir but thought you should know we got word that another body was found this one in Flushing same MO.." Gornley informed , a hint of frustration in his voice.
"Okay thanks Lieutenant please send the detail to my father's house and have any information on the victim so I can look it over on the way. " Jamie pressed end turning not surprised to find his brother on the phone. "Sorry pop they found another body I have to go..Danny need a lift to the crime scene?"
Danny gave a quiet shake ending the call with Baez calling to inform him of the latest victim. "Thanks boss but I'm going to meet up with Baez and try to find this sick son of bitch. I'll see you pop."
While he waited for the detail Jamie searched for Eddie finding her in the living room talking to Linda as the kids played. Frank smiled from his chair holding a glass of scotch watching his grandkids proudly. "Eddie I just got a call they found another body, my detail is on the way. "
"You can stay here it's late and pop and I can help you with the kids.." Frank offered.
Eddie smiled, still tired but grateful for the offer to stay rather then taking all the kids home alone not sure if when Jamie would come back. "Sorry I'll call soon as I can.." Jamie cupped Eddie's cheeks gently kissing her. "I love you Eddie."
"Love you too.." Jamie rubbed his boy's hair saying goodbye, stopping to kiss the girls goodbye going outside to meet his detail. He barely got in the car before his detail starting filling in information about the latest victim.
"Her name is Patricia London 20 years old lives in Queens with her parents and one sister. The other sister moved out of state. Patricia was a law students like the others found in the park with her law book in hand…"
Jamie glanced over the report quietly sighing in realization they had a serial killer on the loose. "Sounds like whoever is doing this has a grudge against these female lawyers." He continued going over notes looking for anything that would help point out who was killing these innocent girls as they rode into Queens arriving to the chaotic chaos.
Lights of two police RMP's whirled through the dark park allowing Jamie to see crime scene working to find evidence. Off to the side Detective Baez talked with their only witness while the ME took notes on the young victim.
"Ten hut.." Officers snapped at attention as Jamie climbed out sighing uncomfortably at the attention. "Continue," he waved a hand walking towards Detective Baez first for any information she might have gathered.
"Detective.. " Jamie greeted, glancing at the witness being escorted to a police car by one of the officers. "Did the witness see who murdered this woman?"
Baez turned back study the commissioner, her partner's brother having only spoken to him a handful of times. "He claims it was dark but he saw a male with light hair running away when he realized he was being watched. He's going to work with our sketch artist.."
"Commissioner long time no see.." Danny walked over joining his brother and partner looking between them. "What do you have for me partner?"
"Girl is Patricia London twenty years old a law student.. This time we have a witness he's en route to the precinct to work with our sketch artist and answer questions. He only saw the perp running away but our witness saw the victim on the ground law book in her hand just like the others," Baez sighed.
Danny turned back to study the girl nodding on his way across the grounds stopping just behind the ME. "Hey Tina find anything for me?"
Sighing despite all the violent aftermath she's seen after twenty years on the job Tina still couldn't believe someone would hurt a young girl like this. "Well Detective.." Tina stood up taking her gloves off. "It was close about where we are, the cuts show that too they're deep and angry.."
The seasoned Detective breathed out unevenly studying the young girl. He took a minute hearing footsteps approach turning to find his brother sharing a similar expression. "Who the hell would do this to a young girl," Danny asked not expecting a answer. "Excuse me boss have to find an animal."
Jamie stayed a bit longer as a growing crowd of reporters began forming around the outside perimeters. "Commissioner this is the fourth body that dropped do you have any leads to who is doing this?"
Sighing Jamie faced the reporter, "the Detectives are doing everything they can to find the person responsible. Once we receive an update you will be informed." He climbed in the car watching his officers continue working resting his head on the door.
It was late by the time Jamie got back to his father's house not expecting anyone to still be was rocking Sarah while Eddie nuzzled Mary. The boys were in Jamie's old bed, sound asleep.
"Hey Eddie..pop thanks for helping..." Jamie whispered walking into the living room taking a seat beside Eddie. He smiled kissing her cheek. "Boy's were okay?"
"Yeah, the went right to bed, they were good. You should stay here tonight and rest."
"Yea sounds like a good idea. We know the girls are connected just don't know whose doing it why.." Jamie shook his head. "Where's dad?"
"He's been on the phone for the last hour," Eddie replied. "And he put cologne on before he made the call."
Jamie raised an eyebrow at her, "he put cologne on to make a phone call? " chuckling slightly Jamie glanced his grandfather questioningly.
"He did," Henry laughed as Sarah burped loudly and made a face.
Unsure of how to take that Jamie only shook his head sitting with the information for a few minutes. The room fell quiet as both girls slept cuddled pr otectively. "I'm going to get some water you want Eddie? Pops?"
"Juice for me, I need to raise my blood sugar a little bit."
He got up heading into the kitchen stopping at the sound of his father's voice. "Don't worry listen I promise to let you know when I hear something. I can't wait to see you tomorrow." Frank laughed lightly, "Talk to you later..." He hung up as Jamie was pouring drink.
"Hey dad just got back..didn't want to interrupt.." Jamie put the juice back getting a water for himself, leaning against the counter studying his dad.
"Oh you , Frank replied. "Mary put on quite the dispaly a bit ago. I thought Eddie was going to explode."
"Oh yeah? I feel bad leaving so much but.. Really appreciate you and pops helping.." Jamie said. "Guess we both have important lunch dates tomorrow."
"We do...oh, for Mary, when she goes like that, put her tummy on your shoulder blade, it'll help her little belly."
Jamie nodded, "Yea I'll remember that thanks dad. Let me being Eddie her juice." Picking up both cups Jamie carried them into the living room smiling as he sat was now cooing in Henry's arms, not ready to go back to sleep.
He set the juice down taking Sarah to give Eddie a break. "Hey baby girl hi beautiful.." Jamie smiled brightly. "I got them if you want to rest Eddie.."
Eddie smiled, "We both need to rest. Let's go up to bed here and go home in the morning. Come on..."
He waited for her to take Mary leading Eddie upstairs setting Sarah down and changing quickly. When Eddie got close enough Jamie cupped her hand smiling while pulling her down. His eyes twinkled while she settled against his chest moving to wrap his arms around her.
