Jamie walked out to the car and Noble was waiting for him.
"Good morning," Jamie greeted.
"Hey," Noble replied, ever since she found out Jamie had been sleeping with his old partner her opinion of him dropped. She couldn't believe he couldn't see he was being used.
"Ready to go?" Jamie said brightly, he liked Noble, he saw a lot of potential, though he had noticed ever since he had told her that he and Eddie where together she had distanced herself from him.
"Sure," Noble replied.
They got in the RMP and started their tour. They had only been driving a few minutes when Noble broke the silence.
"Why did you become a cop after attending Harvard to be a lawyer?" Noble asked. Jamie was surprised by the question.
"I come from a family of cops, and I never really saw myself being a lawyer," Jamie explained.
"Have any regrets?" Noble questioned.
"12 David, you have a domestic, reports say the suspect is armed with a bat." The voice came over the radio told them rapidly .
"12 David on route," Jamie replied, and Noble lit it up.
They arrived on the scene. Jamie and Noble ran up the steps as they heard screaming from the house. Jamie saw a man running down the stairs,
"He's going to kill her!" the man exclaimed.
"What room?" Jamie demanded.
"3 B," The man said breathlessly.
Noble started running up the stairs, with Jamie behind her when something didn't feel right. The screaming had stopped, and now that Jamie thought about it, it didn't sound like a woman in distress. Once they reached the top of the stairs, the apartment door right across from the stairs opened.
"Noble get down!" Jamie cried, grabbing onto her jacket pulling her down to the ground, as three shots rang out. Jamie felt a sharp sting in his arm, and then pain rip through his abdomen as he fell on the stairs.
Then another shot rang out. Noble knelt on the stairs, her gun drawn, she watched the man in front of her fall to the ground dead, her bullet through his head.
Noble knelt down next to Jamie.
"Reagan," She said desperately seeing blood coming from his arm and abdomen.
"10-13, shots fired, officer down." She called out over the radio, "We need a bus and put a rush on it!"
"Reagan stay with me!" She pleaded, watching Jamie's eyes start to roll into the back of his head. "Reagan," she breathed, putting pressure on the wound just under his vest.
She could see the fighting going on in Jamie's mind as he struggled to stay awake.
She felt Jamie grabbed her hand.
"Tell-tell Eddie," He gasped, fighting for each word. "Tell her I love her and I'm-I'm so sorry." He was struggling now.
"Don't say that!" Noble ordered, "You are going to make it!"
Officers had begun arriving, each one's heart stops when they saw the name on the badge, "Reagan". Noble was soon pulled away from her partner as he was lifted onto the gurney of the ambulance. Noble looked at the blood on her hands, he had saved her and taken the bullets himself. If he died, then he would have died to save her life. Then she heard something that made her heartbreak.
"That poor family, to lose another son to this job." An officer said. It hit her, she remembered seeing an article years ago about a cop named Joseph Reagan who had died in the line of duty.
"Nice shot rookie," A fellow officer said putting his arm on Noble's shoulders. Noble nodded. She now was thankful that her father had started taking her to the range when she was ten, teaching her to be the best shot she could be.
Frank sat at his desk, looking over paperwork. Baker pushed the door open harshly as if she was on a mission.
"Sir," She said, he noticed the slight shake in it.
"What happened?" He asked looking up from the papers.
"There was a shooting," She said, choosing her words wisely, "Officer Reagan was shot."
"How bad?" Frank demanded, his heart ached. "No, not again"
"We don't know yet, he is on his way to St. Vincent's right now. He was shot twice, once in the arm and once under his vest." Baker reported.
"Has Officer Janko been informed?" Frank asked, getting up to grab his jacket.
"Officer Janko?" Baker asked surprised and confused.
"Send a patrol car, she is at Jamie's place, have them take her to St. Vincent's." Frank ordered, "Get my detail ready."
Danny sat in the waiting room, his hands folded. They had rushed his brother into surgery, but the looks on the nurses' faces showed him it didn't look good. He despised the waiting game, just waiting to hear if his brother was going to survive. He hated the sympathetic looks he received from the fellow officers, but one officer caught his attention. She had brown hair that was pulled back and she kept looking at him as if she wanted to come and talk to him. He saw the name on her badge. Noble. She was Jamie's new partner. Danny pulled his emotion together, maybe she would know what happened? He motioned to Noble for her to come to sit by him.
"You are Jamie's partner?" He inquired, as she sat down in the chair beside him.
"Yeah," Noble nodded.
"Thanks for killing the son of a bitch who did this." Danny said, sincerely, "It was a good shot."
"Thanks," Noble said, humbly. She didn't think she should be thanked for doing her job, or for killing a man.
"He saved my life," Noble remarked, "I would have been the one shot if he hadn't pulled me down."
The sound of the waiting room doors being pushed open echoed through the filled room.
"Danny, please tell me it's not Jamie?" A voice pleaded. Noble looked up and saw a woman with blond hair, her face was streaked with tears. She looked about six months pregnant. Danny stood up, and placed his arms on her shoulders.
"Eddie," Danny said, his voice soft.
"Oh God, is he going to make it?" Eddie breathed. Danny wrapped his arms around the broken woman as she sobbed into his shoulder.
"We have to think so," Danny consoled.
All officers now regretted calling Eddie bad names and accusing her of sleeping her way up the ranks. The woman they saw sobbing was a woman in love, and the man she loved was on a surgery table while the doctors did their best to save him. The officers came to attention as the PC entered the waiting room. He didn't acknowledge them, he walked straight to his son and broke the embrace he had on Eddie, only to hug her tight himself. It only made Eddie's sobs increase. She didn't care she was making a scene, or that everyone she worked with was watching her cry her heart out.
