I was beginning to understand the feelings from earlier. Uncle Jamie was angry and felt guilty. He was angry that something could have happened to me and he wasn't there to protect me or look out for me. That they could have done anything to me, but I was lucky they didn't. And that there wasn't anything he could do to help me. He felt guilty that I was alone and if something had happened to me, he would have blamed himself. I looked up at him and hugged him even tighter.
"It's okay Uncle Jamie. I still love you. There wasn't anything you could have done differently. I knew I was gonna be okay 'cause Uncle Joe was watching over me protecting me."
My Uncle Joe was killed in the line of duty when he had infiltrated a secret group within the police department called "The Blue Templar" and was discovered to be an undercover cop. Uncle Jamie hugged me tighter until I thought I was going to explode and said "I know kiddo. It's just, it could have been prevented." I didn't know what he meant and was getting a headache from being held so tight when I heard a knock on the door. Uncle Jamie loosened his hug, and we both turned to look.
Dad was standing in the doorway. Uncle Jamie picked me up, and sat me back down in the chair, then looked at Dad and said, "Danny," He turned and looked at me, then sighed. "Can I talk to you for a second?" Dad looked confused, but Uncle Jamie motioned, and Dad understood and agreed. I got up and started to run to Dad, but Sergeant Renzulli stopped me and told me to follow him. I hesitated for a second because I didn't know him. I looked at Dad, and he nodded and motioned me to go with him. So we walked out into the main room of the precinct, and Sergeant Renzulli asked me if I wanted to go sit in an actual squad car. I was eager to go and jumped up.
