The next day

"Hey Janko, got a minute?" Jamie asked from his desk after seeing her and Draves coming back from the streets, their tour was over.

"Yeah but make it quick, pop called me earlier and said Ryan's low on formula so I gotta run to the market before they close." She said looking at her watch.

"Oh well just real quick. How'd it go?" He asked quietly.

"It was okay, she's just a spoiled brat...wanted a hoagie for lunch but it couldn't be from the pizza place nearby, we had to go all the way across town to another place." Eddie said rolling her eyes annoyed.

"Is that it? Just particular?" He asked.

"No I mean she was kinda being a bitch about you and I getting to work together, I think she's just jealous. I guess her ex broke up with her and is dating her friend..." Eddie said.

"That's awkward. Probably just jealous then, you guys didn't fight or anything right?" He asked to make sure.

"No! We're not in high school, I kept it civil and we just did our jobs." Eddie assured.

"Okay well good. Glad to here it." He said.

"Yeah I gotta go now, see ya at home?" She said backing out of his office.

"5 o'clock. Love you." He told her. She smiled and left.

"Reagan come here." Espinoza hollered from his office. Jamie got up and went in.

"Yeah boss?" He said.

"Just got off the phone with 1PP they wanna see you at the end of your tour, today." He said. Jamie ran his hand over his mouth in thought.

"I don't know what it's about." Espinoza said.

"Alright...well thanks." He said and went back to work.

He texted Eddie who was at home already that he'd be late tonight, something came up. He was trying to figure out what this was about the whole way there. If it wasn't work related Frank could just called and that's what was worrying him. It wasn't a good sign.

——

5 o'clock rolled around, he got escorted up to his dads office, Abigail let him in and he raised his right arm in salute like he was supposed to.

"As you were. Take a seat." Frank said. Jamie listened and sat down.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"It was brought to my attention earlier today that after yesterday's events Eddie and another officer had gotten physical." He asked.

"That's correct...they both got a punishment for it." Jamie added.

"But no suspension?" Frank questioned, Jamie was taken back.

"I didn't find that necessary for this exact scenario...tensions were high" Jamie explained.

"This is not the first time Eddie has put you in a tough position, being her husband..." Frank went on.

"Let me just state that Eddie doesn't get special treatment from me. If anything I think I'm pretty tough on her, maybe too tough." Jamie defended.

"What about when she was late last week?" Frank asked. Jamie had to think, he was right but why and how is information like that getting all the way up to him he wondered.

"Yeah, Ryan had gotten sick before she left for work and had to take care of that quick. She wasn't that late." Jamie said.

"But you don't think that's special treatment?" Frank questioned.

"Huh, dad I'm personable with all my officers, especially if they have kids, I know stuff happens. Couple years ago I wouldn't have cared but now that I have kids I get it," Jamie explained.

"All I'm saying is, you gotta stick to your guns no matter who it is. Some people don't seem to think it's fair. Not everyone gets to go home and sleep with the boss, make it all better..." Frank said raising his eyebrows, looking over his glasses.

"Wha- ha. Really?" Jamie said back shaking his head.

"Keep your head on swivel." Frank said.

"Who's the snake in my house that's saying this stuff? Cause that's not coming from you. That's not how you think. You heard it somewhere." Jamie told him.

"Hey I'm not saying anything. All I'm saying is watch your audience." Frank said with his hands held out in front of him surrendering.

"Okay. Well if it's Draves she's got another thing coming. She's never been a fan of Eddies and it's not okay. Maybe she needs to transfer to another precinct." Jamie said annoyed thinking about her.

"You're doing it right now Jamie...!" Frank pointed out.

"Doing what!?" He asked frustrated.

"Your picking favorites!" He replied.

"She always starts it! Yesterday, SHE made the comment to Rachel, Eddie stood up for her and Draves told Eddie to screw off! I would've reacted the same way!" Jamie said passionately, raising his voice more.

"Well-" Frank started to talk but Jamie cut him off.

"She's the one who should be up here right now! Not me! She needs a fire lit under her ass, not me, not Eddie." Jamie demanded.

"Hey it's your cop, you have power to do that. If you see it's one person causing issues change it." Frank said.

"Maybe I will." Jamie said and got up ending the conversation.

"Have a good night." Frank said and watched Jamie leave.

"Hey, dinners still warm. I'm going to run them a quick bath." Eddie said heading to the bathroom with Ryan in her arms. Jamie set his stuff down, he wasn't saying anything.

"What's wrong?" Eddie asked concerned.

"My dad wanted to talk to me. That's why I'm late." Jamie said entering the kitchen to fix a plate.

"At 1PP?" She asked.

"Yup." He said blunt.

"Well what? What about? Are you in trouble?" Eddie was concerned.

"Not really no. He was concerned about me giving some officers special treatment." He said.

"What? That doesn't make sense. You don't give anyone special treatment! You don't even give me special treatment!" She said confidently, Jamie looked at her.

"He was talking about you." He told her.

"...huh! What!? ME!? Are you kidding!? Your making me ride with Draves all week after yesterday! How is that special treatment!?" She was fired up.

"I know Eddie. I tried to explain that but- "

"But what?! What did he think should've happened? Does he want you to write me up or suspend me!?" Eddie interrupted.

"I don't know, he expected a suspension. He made it sound like other officers were complaining that it's not fair because they can't sleep with the boss to make it all better." Jamie told her.

"Ha! That's funny. Really funny...so who's the snitch did he say!?" Eddie wondered.

"He didn't but when I said Draves he didn't deny." Jamie said and started to eat.

"Ho hooo she's got another thing coming. I'll set the record straight this week with her." Eddie said, her blood boiling.

"Mommy comin?" Alaina interrupted from the hall.

"Mommy's coming Lain just wait. Get undressed awhile." She told her.

"You aren't to say anything to her I'm done with the drama. I'm putting her in for a transfer. We've been working together for how many years and this is the first and only person who's caused issues. She's out in my book." Jamie said.

"That's an even better idea! Bye Felicia!" Eddie said happy. Jamie smiled and shook his head at her.

"Mommyyyy" Alaina whined again.

"Okay okay I know. We're coming. Come on Ry." She said and off to the bathroom they went. Jamie sat and listened to the laughter and fun coming from the bathroom. it made him happy and realize that no matter how crappy his day went, coming home to them made it all go away.

Hopefully Jamie can get Draves out of the precinct and be someone else's problem. Seems like Frank wants to protect them but can only do so much that he isn't playing favorites. Leave your comments/ideas below!
