A Plan Is Born

It had been two months since Danny had seen Jamie. Jamie had been undercover for a total of eight months now. It was November and the weather had gotten cold outside. Frank knew that Jamie was inside where he was warm, but that didn't help his unease at Jamie being out undercover in this weather. Northern New York got even worse weather, even though Jamie was just over an hour away from the house. Frank had only heard from Jamie once since he had two months ago and that was making Frank worry even more. Jamie should have called by now, but he hadn't and Frank was hoping that Jamie was safe and not in trouble somewhere.

It was just after eleven at night and Frank was sitting in the living room just finishing off a glass of scotch. Henry had already gone up to go to bed about ten minutes ago. Frank knew that it would take him a little while to fall asleep, it always did. Frank himself had been having a hard time falling asleep recently hence why he was having a drink of scotch this late at night when he was supposed to be working in the morning. It was only Wednesday and Jamie hadn't called him like he was supposed to three days ago. Jamie had been calling on the fifteenth of the month for the past eight months, but this month he missed and he had never missed before. Frank couldn't help, but worry about it. Frank knew it was no guarantee that Jamie would call on the same day every month, it had just worked out that he had for the past eight months. He had never missed before. Frank was hoping it was because he was too busy and hadn't been able to get away to make the call and not that he was in trouble.

Frank was just about to go up to bed when he heard the kitchen door opening. He hadn't locked it yet, because it was something that he did on his way to bed. Frank was put on alert as he got up from the couch calling out as he did.

"Danny is that you?" Frank asked ready for anything as he rounded the corner so he would be able to see into the kitchen.

He was not prepared for what he saw. There was the man that Linda has described as Jamie's undercover alias. He was covered in dirt and blood and barely able to stand up.

"Dad." Jamie said with a weak voice and he stumbled into the counter of the island.

Hearing the pain and weakness in his son's voice forced Frank's body to move. He went over to Jamie and was able to catch him as his legs gave out.

"Pop! Pop get down here quick!" Frank yelled to get his father's attention before turning to his son.

Frank looked down and saw that Jamie's hands were covered in blood as he pushed them against his left side. His left side was covered in blood and the parts of Jamie's clothes that Frank could see were covered in blood, dirt and ripped. His eyes were both almost completely swollen shut, he was covered in bruises, there was blood going down the right side of his head and face. From what he could make out of his hands they were both cut up and one looked broken.

"What happened son?" Frank asked with fear to his voice as he tried to get Jamie to move his hands so he could look at the wound.

Henry came running down the stairs at hearing his son yelling for him.

"Francis what in God's name is going on?" Henry asked with worry for his son never yelled his name like that in the middle of the night. Henry froze when he saw some strange man on the kitchen floor bleeding. "Who is that?" Henry asked with alarm.

"It's Jamie Pop." Frank said.

"No hospitals." Jamie said weakly as he looked at his father.

"Jamie? What the hell is going on? Why is he bleeding?" Henry asked urgently.

"It's a long story Pop. Jamie you need to go to the hospital you're bleeding heavily." Frank said trying to reason with his son.

"Not safe. Trust me I can't. Call Linda please Dad it's not safe." Jamie said weakly with pain in his voice.

"Jamie we can keep you safe. You're injured you need a hospital." Henry said in a stern voice.

"Dad please." Jamie pleaded with his father knowing he would be the one to make the call.

"Pop call Danny and get him to bring Linda over here with her kit right away." Frank said.

"Francis." Henry started, but Frank cut him off.

"Now Pop I don't have time to explain just trust me." Frank said in his stern voice.

"Fine but there will be an explanation to this." Henry said with anger as he moved over to the house phone to call Danny.

"Son I need to see how badly you are hurt." Frank said trying to get Jamie to move his hands.

"Stabbed." Jamie said weakly as he allowed his father to move his hands aside.

Frank frantically moved Jamie's shirt out of the way and sure enough there were five stab wounds to his left side and part on his stomach. They weren't too deep to cause serious injuries, but they were bleeding heavily and could cause him to die from blood loss.

"Pop, tell Danny he's been stabbed so Linda is prepared for what she needs." Frank said to his father as he dialed Danny's cell number.

"Stabbed?" Henry said with fear.

"It's okay son Linda and Danny will be here soon to get you patched up." Frank said as he grabbed a tea towel from the stove and pressed it against the bleeding to try and slow it down.

After four rings Danny's tired voice came on the line.

"Reagan."

"Danny you and Linda need to get to the house right away. Jamie is here and he's been beat up and stabbed. Tell Linda to bring everything she has." Henry said in a hurry.

"Stabbed? Wait what?" Danny asked no longer tired and his voice held complete alertness and worry.

"I don't know what happened just hurry." Henry said before he hung up.

Henry then went back over to Frank and Jamie and he saw that Frank was trying to get the bleeding to slow down.

"We need to get him lying down." Frank said.

"Let me put a sheet over the couch and we can put him there. I'll grab the first aid supplies that we have." Henry said as he moved to go upstairs to get what they needed.

"Jamie what happened?" Frank asked sadly.

"Mole in the F.B.I." Jamie said and that was all Frank needed to know in that moment.

"It's okay we'll get you patched up and then you can tell us what happened. Just try and relax Linda and Danny are on their way. It's going to be okay son." Frank said trying to sound encouraging even though his hands were shaking.

Henry came down the stairs with a sheet for the couch and their first aid kit. He headed into the living room and put the sheet over the couch to protect it before he put the first aid kit down. He then went back into the kitchen as he spoke.

"The couch is ready."

"Ok son I need to get you up and onto the couch. It will help us get a better look at your injuries. Come on son." Frank said as he helped to get Jamie back up on his feet.

With the help of Henry they were able to get Jamie into the living room and sitting down on the couch facing the sideways. Frank then moved to get Jamie's ripped jacket off from him. Once the jacket was removed they could see the cuts in his t-shirt from where he was stabbed. They could also see that his back was completely covered in blood.

"Jamie I know this is going to hurt, but we need to get that shirt off." Frank said.

"I'll get some scissors." Henry said as he headed out of the room to get the kitchen scissors.

"I'm sorry." Jamie said softly.

"You don't have anything to be sorry for son."

"Dad my back." Jamie said sadly with pain and Frank figured that Jamie didn't want Henry to see.

"He won't mind Jamie. He's going to see if eventually." Frank said sympathetically.

"No Dad look." Jamie said with a shaky voice and Frank knew he was losing too much blood.

Frank went to Jamie's back and slowly lifted the shirt slightly. He noticed with horror that the blood on his back wasn't from the stab wounds. He had been whipped again within the last few hours. They were bleeding heavily and it was causing his whole back to be red.

"Oh my sweet boy. It's okay we'll get through this it's okay." Frank said sadly.

Henry came back into the room with the scissors. He handed them over to Frank and Frank went to the front of Jamie's shirt to cut it down the middle so he could take it off like the jacket. With the shirt now cut Frank very carefully removed it from Jamie's body he made sure he went slow when it was being removed from his back knowing that the blood would be sticking to his shirt and would be painful to remove. With the shirt now removed Henry couldn't help the gasp at seeing Jamie's back covered in blood and bleeding lashes.

"Son I know it's going to hurt, but you need to lie down on your back so I can keep pressure on your stab wounds and your own weight will keep pressure on your back to slow the bleeding down. I don't know what will need stitches and what won't. Linda and Danny should be here soon." Frank said calmly.

He was doing his best to ignore the fact that Jamie was so horribly beat up and injured. They could see with his shirt removed that he was going to be covered in dark black bruising all across his stomach, ribs and chest. Whatever happened to Jamie he fought back as much as he could and Frank was hoping that he was able to tell them what happened. Frank helped to lower Jamie so he was on his back and they could both see the pain on his face, but he refused to make a sound. Frank then used the tea towel and pressed it against Jamie's stab wounds to try and slow the bleeding down. His hands were both covered in blood by now and he knew that he would never be able to get this out of his mind.

"What is going on Francis?" Henry asked with anger at obviously being kept out of the loop.

"It's a long story Pop." Frank started.

"Then give me the short version." Henry persisted.

"Short version is Jamie has been undercover for the F.B.I for eight months now. That's the short version." Frank said with annoyance and aggravation to his voice.

"Well that doesn't give me much answers now does it." Henry said back annoyed.

"I'm sorry." Jamie said weakly.

"You have nothing to apologise for. There are no words for me to be able to even describe how proud I am of you son. You have nothing to be sorry for. You made the right choice and your Grandpa loves you no matter what." Frank said strongly to his son that he couldn't even tell if he was awake or not because both of his eyes were swelling up even more now.

"Of course I love him. I just wish I had some answers about what has been going on. Like why I wasn't told that my grandson was undercover for the Feds." Henry said annoyed even more now.

They heard the sirens coming down the street and they knew that Danny had used his lights and sirens to get here sooner. Normally Frank would have told him not to use it for personal use, but this time he was more than happy to make an exception.

"I'll explain later right now all that matters is Jamie's health Pop." Frank said.

The sirens were turned off and they knew that Danny would be busting in here any moment with Linda behind him. Sure enough the kitchen door opened and Danny's voice rang out.

"Dad!"

"In the living room!" Frank called back.

Danny and Linda came running into the living room and both were shocked at what they saw. Jamie was on the couch covered in blood, dirt and seriously injured. Frank was on his knees pushing a towel into Jamie's side that was already red from the blood as were Frank's hands.

"Holy shit." Danny said softly.

Linda pushed passed Danny with her kit and went over to Jamie and Frank Linda put her kit down on the coffee table and opened it so she could put on some gloves as she spoke.

"How many?" Linda asked.

"Five in total none of them look to deep, but they are bleeding a lot." Frank answered.

"You need to call your doctor Frank." Linda said.

"No hospitals." Jamie said weakly.

"I know Jamie, but these stab wounds need to be closed properly and I don't have the training for that or the drugs for it. A doctor needs to do it." Linda said sympathetically as she moved Frank away so she could look at the wounds.

"Jamie I can call Dr. Roberts he was the one to give me the prescriptions for you. I trust him with my life. He can do everything right here. I promise you I won't take you to a hospital unless your life depends on it." Frank said.

"Ok" Jamie said weakly.

"I'll call and explain the situation Francis." Henry said as he moved out of the room.

Frank looked down at his hands and saw that they were covered in Jamie's blood. He knew that the color would stain his hands no doubt for a few days. Danny came over to Frank still in shock at seeing his brother this badly injured.

"What happened Dad?" Danny asked softly.

"I don't know son. He just showed up like this. Linda, his back is worse and bleeding." Frank said sadly.

"Ok I'll look at it once I get this bleeding under control." Linda said as she put pressure bandages on the stab wounds to try and slow the bleeding down.

"Not again." Danny said sadly.

"I'm afraid so."

"Should we be calling Richards or something?"

"He said there was a mole in the F.B.I. so until we know more we can't be calling anyone."

"So he was made?" Danny asked trying to understand how it went so wrong.

"I don't know son. We need to let him get fixed up first before we ask him."

Henry came back into the room after he was done on the phone.

"Dr. Roberts will be here in five minutes with everything he needs. I told him that Jamie was stabbed and couldn't be in a hospital. He wasn't happy about it, but he wasn't about to refuse to help someone that had been stabbed. How is he doing Linda?" Henry asked.

"They don't appear to have hit any organs which is good. I have a portable ultrasound in my kit from when I was pregnant. I can use it to make sure that he isn't bleeding internally or any organs were damaged." Linda said.

"Where are the boys?" Frank asked.

"I woke Jack up and told him he had to watch Sean in the morning. He's thirteen and old enough to be home alone with Sean. They are just going to be asleep anyways. He asked what was going on I told him that there was an emergency and his mother and me needed to go. Thankfully he was too tired to press with more questions." Danny answered.

"We should be calling Erin and letting her know." Henry said.

"Not yet. Not until we know more Pop." Frank said.

"You're playing this one pretty close to the chest Francis." Henry said back not happy at keeping Erin in the dark.

"You would be too Pop. You'll understand later."

"Better be sooner than later Francis." Henry said in a deadly tone.

"How long will it take Dr. Roberts to get here?" Danny asked.

"He lives five minutes from here." Frank answered.

Linda pulled out the portable ultrasound machine and used it on Jamie's stomach first. They all stood there just watching Linda work as she checked to see if Jamie was in need of surgery. After five minutes the kitchen door opened and they knew it would be Dr. Roberts. He came into the living room and saw Jamie laying on the couch with Linda using the ultrasound machine.

"Dr. Roberts thank you for coming so late. I know this is unusual." Frank said.

"Save it Frank. I am here because your son is stabbed and needs help. Whatever is going on around here I don't want to know about. If I don't know I don't have to testify or lie to anyone." Dr. Roberts said as he went over to Linda.

"Dr. Roberts, I'm Linda I'm a nurse. I've got pressure dressing to his five stab wounds. He had wounds on his back that I have not seen yet. I was just checking to see if there was any internal damage, but so far I don't see any." Linda said.

"It looks clear to me." Dr. Roberts said as he looked at the machine that Linda was holding. Dr. Roberts put on his stethoscope to listen to Jamie's heart and lungs after a few minutes he spoke again. "Put it on his lungs."

Linda did as instructed and hi lungs looked cloudy.

"They're cloudy. His skin is cool, but he has lost a lot of blood and that could be why." Dr. Roberts said as he grabbed the thermometer from his kit. "Jamie, have you had a cough or a fever recently?" Dr. Roberts asked as he checked Jamie's temperature.

"Just a cold nothing serious." Jamie said weakly.

"He has a fever, temp is thirty-nine." Dr. Roberts said.

"What does that mean?" Danny asked with concern.

"He has pneumonia." Linda stated.

"Why does that matter?" Henry asked.

"Because I can't give him anything that would suppress his breathing here. If we were in a hospital I could give him an anesthetic to repair the stab wounds. I can't do that here, because if his breathing falters we don't have any oxygen to give him." Dr. Roberts said.

"He needs to be awake for the repair. What about numbing the area completely?" Linda suggested.

"It will take a lot and he might still feel some pain, but it's the only option we have right now. Put it over his heart I want to make sure it's strong." Dr. Roberts said.

Linda moved the wand over to Jamie's heart and after a moment both Linda and Dr. Roberts nodded.

"I know his back is injured. Right now we need to focus on these stab wounds first. How much numbing agent do you have in your kit?" Dr. Roberts asked.

"I restocked it two months ago. I have three bottles." Linda answered.

"I have five that should be enough to numb the inside and outside of his stab wounds. Then I can stitch them and he shouldn't feel anything." Dr. Roberts said.

They both worked on getting their things ready and they were able to give Jamie enough numbing agent so he wouldn't feel they working on his stab wounds. They needed to do stitches inside and on the outside. It would take time, but it was the only thing they could do for him. After thirty minutes they were able to get all of the stitches done on the stab wounds. It was a total of a hundred and twenty, but he would heal from it. Once the numbing agent wore off he would be in a great deal of pain though.

"Now that that is taken care of let's see his back." Dr. Roberts said.

"Jamie we are just going to roll you over onto your right side so we can look at your back without moving you too much." Linda said calmly.

Jamie gave a weak nod and they all knew he was in pain and exhausted. Linda and Dr. Roberts carefully rolled Jamie onto his right side and Dr. Roberts pealed the sheet that was sticking to his back. His back was covered in blood and some of the wounds were still bleeding. Danny. Frank and Henry couldn't help but close their eyes at the sight of Jamie's back. It was red, bloody and looked horribly painful. To think that Jamie went through that again was heart breaking.

"Some of these will need stitches. Others will close on their own. Jamie we need to stitch some of these up so I will give you some more numbing agent to help you." Dr. Roberts said.

Once again together Linda and Dr. Roberts went to work on stitching up the cuts that needed to be stitched. Later Linda would wash away the blood and put bandages on those that were still bleeding. For now they needed to focus on what was causing Jamie to be losing too much blood. After another thirty minutes the last of the stitching was done on Jamie's back and they rolled him back over.

Dr. Roberts looked at the rest of Jamie's injuries.

"Your right cheek bone is broken. Linda let me see the ultrasound." Dr. Roberts said and Linda handed it to him. He used it along Jamie's jaw so he could check for injuries. "Normally I would use an X-Ray machine, but this will do the trick as well. You have a small crack to your jaw. It will hurt to talk and chewy for a good six weeks while it heals. Your eyes are swollen shut from trauma." Dr. Roberts moved the wand to the cut on Jamie's hairline. "This will need stitches as well."

"Wait go back. Is that what I think it is?" Linda said as she saw something on the monitor.

Dr. Roberts went back to the spot that Linda was talking about and sure enough there was an injury.

"That could account for some of the swelling and bruising around his eyes and nose." Dr. Roberts said.

"What is it?" Frank asked with concern.

"He has a linear skull fracture right beside the cut. He took a hard hit to the head. It normally causes eyes and nose to blacken, but he also took trauma there so they are swelling up more so than normal. It's serious, but not life threatening serious." Dr. Roberts said.

"The side effects are more serious than it." Linda added.

"Which are?" Danny asked.

"Migraines, headaches, dizziness, forgetfulness, memory loss, nausea, lack of concentration, trouble sleeping and unsteady balance are the most common. It'll take about two months before it is fully healed and that is assuming no further injury is inflected." Linda answered her husband.

Dr. Roberts moved the wand down to Jamie's neck as there was dark black bruising around it.

"There's no damage done from the strangulation, but it will be sore to talk and swallow for a good week."

Dr. Roberts moved the wand down to Jamie's ribs after fifteen minutes he handed the machine back over to Linda as he spoke.

"You have four broken ribs and three cracked ribs. You also have numerous deep muscle bruising and skin bruising on your chest, ribs and stomach. As well as your arms and I'm assuming your legs. Your wrist is also badly sprained and I will have to put it into a brace. All in all, you are going to be in a great deal of pain within the next two months Mr. Reagan. You're lucky to be alive right now."

"I don't need a hospital?" Jamie asked weakly.

"You should be in a hospital to be monitored for the next three days with your skull fracture. However, if you are not left alone and someone checks in on you every two hours, they wake you up every two hours and asks you simple questions. If then and only then would I ever even consider you not being in a hospital." Dr. Roberts said in a serious voice.

"He won't be leaving this house Doctor I assure you. Someone will be with him at all times." Frank said in a serious voice.

"Then I will allow it. I expect for Linda to be here once a day at least to check in on his injuries and change his bandages. I will also give you a pain medication to help with the pain. I will prescribe you Vicodin at a moderate dosage. You can take four pills a day, one every eight hours. There is a pharmacy open twenty-four hours ten blocks from here. I will call in the prescription and someone else can pick it up, but I need to know who as they will need to show I.D." Dr. Roberts said.

"I can go. It would look better if a nurse is picking it up compared to someone else." Linda said right away.

"I agree that would look better. As for his injuries just stitch up that head wound and then bandage his back. You could lightly wrap his ribs to give him some padding, but as you know not too tight or we risk causing the pneumonia to be worse. I will also prescribe another anti-biotic to help fight the pneumonia. I have a brace as well you can use for his wrist." Dr. Roberts said to Linda.

"Got it. I will be by twice a day to check in on Jamie and change his dressings. If I see signs of infection I'll call you right away." Linda reassured the doctor.

"Please do and I will come back to check on his progress as well in a week if I do not hear from you." Dr. Roberts said to Linda before he turned to face Frank. "He's going to be fine if he takes it slow and rests. His body desperately needs it right now. He shouldn't be living on his own for at least two weeks and if his side effects are extreme from the skull fracture he shouldn't be living alone until it is healed. Once whatever is going on is resolved he should be brought into a hospital for the proper tests and scans to be done just to be on the safe side."

"I will bring him in myself and he will be staying here until I feel he is physically able to be on his own I assure you." Frank said.

"The only reason I am even doing this is because it is you and your family. Otherwise I would have had him brought into a hospital the second I got here."

"I owe you one Dr. Roberts. Thank-you." Frank said sincerely and gratefully.

"We owe you for the rest of our lives." Danny asked with complete honesty to his voice.

"I'm doing my job Detective. Keep a close eye on him and I know he's exhausted but you should try and keep him awake for the next six hours just as a precaution."

"We will." Henry said.

"Have a good night and if something happens call me and I will come back."

"Thank-you so much Doctor." Linda said.

Dr. Roberts gave Linda the brace for Jamie's wrist and then headed out while he called in the prescriptions.

"Ok Jamie, I need to stitch up that cut and then get this brace on you. Afterwards I'll work on the bandages." Linda said as she got ready to get back to work.

"You still with us son?" Frank asked gently.

"Ya. I need to call Richards he needs to know what happened." Jamie said with pain clear in his voice.

"Are you sure you can trust him?" Frank asked with a serious voice.

"Ya the mole was one of the handlers. I don't know which one yet." Jamie said back.

"Jamie that can wait." Henry said.

"No you don't understand it can't. We only have seventy-two hours to shut them down or they are all dead." Jamie said.

"Good let them be dead." Henry said with anger.

"Not the men Pop, the women and children." Frank said understanding what Jamie was saying.

"What women and children?" Henry asked.

"So Jamie was undercover like Danny thought." Linda said as she started to stitch up Jamie's forehead.

"You didn't tell her?" Frank asked Danny surprised.

"Danny knew? Why the hell didn't I know?" Henry asked angrily again.

"I told her that I was going to see Jamie and make sure he was okay, but that was it. I didn't know what the whole story was so I thought it would be safer keeping her in the dark." Danny said.

"So Jamie was undercover for you." Linda said to Frank trying to understand what was going on.

"No for the F.B.I. Now Jamie why do we only have three days?" Frank asked.

"Long story. But we only have three days before they kill them all and go back to Europe. Please Dad call Richards and get him here."

"I'll call him, but you should be resting son." Frank said.

"I will be. I won't move, but I can't sleep anyways for at least six hours. We need to finish this. I need for this to be finished. For this to not be for nothing. Please Dad." Jamie said with complete pain in his voice.

"I won't let it be for nothing either son. I'll call Agent Richards and have him come down here." Frank said.

"Don't worry kid, we'll get these bastards." Danny said.

"Can you call Eddie too please?" Jamie said weakly.

"Sure I'll call her and have her come down. Miss your partner eh?" Danny teased lightly.

"She's more than that." Jamie said.

"Since when?" Linda asked with a smile.

"Eight months ago."

"Good for you kid. She's a great woman and she knows what the life is like. I like her a hell of a lot more than I did Sydney." Danny said.

"Danny." Frank started, but Danny cut him off.

"What? It's true. Eddie is down to earth and sweet. She is also a great woman and from what I hear she's turning into being a great cop. She'd make a great addition to our family."

"Let's not get that far ahead. She doesn't know the truth yet." Jamie said.

"If she cares about you, then the fact that you are alive and going to be okay is all that will matter to her. Doesn't mean she doesn't have a right to be mad it just means she'll get over it faster." Linda said.

"You'll need a new partner you know." Frank said.

"I know, but I don't care. I'd rather have her in my life than being just partners always wondering what if." Jamie said honestly.

"Smart thinking. She's good people Jamie. I'm happy for you." Henry said.

"She is a wonderful woman and she is a good cop. I couldn't ask for better for you son. I'll call Richards and Danny can call Eddie and she can come down here." Frank said.

"Thank-you." Jamie said weakly.

Danny and Frank headed out of the living room to make the calls.

"Well your head is all stitched up Jamie. I just need to get this brace on you and clean you up. Pop, are there any clothes here still for him?" Linda asked Henry.

"Some are upstairs in his room from before. Francis keeps a change of clothes for everyone here just in case. I'll go and grab them." Henry said as he headed out of the room as well.

Linda grabbed the brace and went to put it on Jamie's sprained wrist.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Jamie said.

"I've known you for a long time now Jamie. I know you well enough to know that if you don't tell me something there is a very good reason for it. I don't take it personally. Erin will be upset as will Nikki and the kids, but we just want you alive. The rest doesn't really matter. Like I said with Eddie if she cares about you, truly cares she's just going to be happy that you are alive when she sees you. She'll be more worried and upset about you being hurt than you not telling her the truth. Besides you were undercover. It's not like you left to do something illegal or cheat on her. You were doing your job and I believe she will accept that." Linda said honestly.

"Thanks Linda. I've really missed you."

"I've missed you too."

After a moment Henry, Frank and Danny all were back in the room.

"I brought down some sweat pants and a t-shirt, but I don't know if you want the shirt on him or not." Henry said.

"It might be better to leave it off for a little while to make sure the bleeding has stopped." Linda said.

"I've spoken with Agent Richards and he is not pleased that you were injured. He's on his way here to deal with it."

"And Eddie is on her way. I told her you were here and that you were injured, but you would be okay. I also told her that you had been undercover so she could process that while on the drive over." Danny said.

"I bet she was mad." Jamie said lightly.

"I don't know. She said something about making you cook for her for a month for this." Danny said slightly confused about the reference.

Jamie chuckled before he let out a groan at the pain that it caused.

"See I told you." Linda said with a smile. "I'm going to get some warm water and a cloth to get that blood off from you before we can get you changed and bandaged up." Linda said as she stood up and headed into the kitchen. Danny followed behind her.

"Babe, why don't you go and get the prescriptions and Dad and I can handle getting Jamie cleaned up and changed." Danny said softly so no one else would hear.

"I don't mind." Linda said as she started to get the warm water into a mixing bowl.

"I know you don't mind and that's part of the reason why I love you, but Jamie would mind. Besides Dad and I need to do something and this is something we can do for him. Maybe you could take Pops with you."

"Alright I can try to take Pops with me, but you know I can't make him. I'll go and get the prescriptions and some extra supplies. When I get back I'll bandage him up. Make sure you are gentle with the cuts and take it slow. Moving around will be extremely painful. I'm amazed that he was even able to get here. He's in a lot more pain than he is showing anyone Danny so be careful with him. Even if he says he's fine, he's not." Linda said in a serious voice.

"I'll make sure we're careful and take it slow with him. Thanks babe it means a lot to me. I can't do much for him when he's like this but at least between Dad and I we can get him cleaned up and changed before everyone gets here. It's going to be a long night."

"Ya it is, but that's okay none of us mind."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Danny gave Linda a small kiss before he moved back. Linda grabbed the bowl and the cloth before they headed back out into the living room. Frank was sitting on the coffee table holding onto Jamie's left hand. He had washed his hands before he made the call to Agent Richards. They could still see the small red tint to them and Danny knew it would be like that for a few days.

"Alright, I am going to go and get the prescriptions and some supplies before I bandage you up. Danny offered to help get the blood off and get you changed out of those dirty clothes. Pops, I could use some help at the pharmacy would you mind?" Linda asked politely, but the look she gave him told him he needed to leave the three of them alone.

"Not at all. We need coffee I believe anyways." Henry said with a knowing look to Linda.

"We are out of coffee and milk." Frank said.

"Ya we are definitely going to need that before the night is over." Danny agreed.

"I'll go and get dressed and then we can head out." Henry said.

"You gotta get dressed too there eh Dad." Danny said with smirk.

"I will after." Frank said.

"Give me five minutes and I'll be ready." Henry said as he headed out if the room to go upstairs to get dressed.

"I'll go see if there is anything else we need at the store." Linda said giving the three of them time alone.

"Thanks babe." Danny said after her.

"Should I be worried that you made everyone leave?" Jamie said with a shaky voice.

"Nah just thought you'd appreciate it just being us guys." Danny said calmly.

"We'll go slow son and if you need a break we can take one." Frank said gently as he still held onto Jamie's good hand.

"I'll be fine." Jamie said.

"Ok, let's start with your front and then we can do your back and get your changed out of those pants." Danny said.

Danny sat down on the coffee table as well and put the bowl on the floor. He grabbed the cloth as he spoke.

"I'll start at the top and work my way down." Danny said with a smile.

"Thanks for the warning." Jamie said lightly.

Danny very gently wiped the blood off from Jamie's face and his hair.

"God are we ever getting this color out of your hair?" Danny lightly joked.

"God I hope so. I'm so sick of dying it." Jamie joked back.

"We might have to shave your head just to get this color out. Not to mention we need to reintroduce your face to a razor." Danny said back.

"I thought it was a good look for me. Made me look older." Jamie said back, but they could hear the pain that talking was doing.

"It's not bad kid, but not really your style. More like hobo style." Danny joked.

"I guess it's a good thing I didn't put my contacts in tonight. That would have been painful to get out." Jamie said.

"What did happen tonight son?" Frank asked gently.

"If it's okay I want to wait until everyone else gets here. Kinda a story I only wanna tell once."

"That's okay we can wait. I'm just glad you are alive right now." Frank said honestly.

Danny wiped at the blood on the side of Jamie's head and it caused Jamie to let out a hiss at the pain.

"Sorry Jamie." Danny immediately said.

"No I'm sorry it's okay." Jamie automatically said.

"Neither of you have anything to be sorry for. This isn't any of our faults. Jamie, son, I know you have been told that you can't show pain. I'm sure they made it worse, but we're not them. If you are in too much pain we can stop and take a break." Frank said calmly.

"I'm okay I just didn't expect it to hurt." Jamie said.

"So you and Eddie eh? When did that actually happen?" Danny asked hoping to get his brother's mind off from the pain.

"The day that I left eight months ago." Jamie said with a small smile on his face.

"How did that happen?" Danny asked.

Jamie smiled at the memory of the last time he saw Eddie.

Flashback (Contains Sex Scene)

Jamie knew he didn't have long before he had to head out for the operation. It came to them this quickly as a surprise, but there was nothing Jamie could do about it right now. He had to leave within the next six hours and he wasn't going to be leaving until he said goodbye to Eddie. She was his partner, a friend and so much more than that. Jamie knew there was a very good chance that he wasn't going to be coming back alive and if he was going to die, he wasn't going to die as this being a regret. He cared about Eddie a great deal and he knew that she cared about him just as much. Today he wasn't going to be holding back. He headed up to Eddie's apartment and once there he knocked on the door. A moment later Eddie answered the door in just simple blue jeans and a tank top. Her hair was down and she wasn't wearing any make-up and Jamie thought she never looked more beautiful than she did in this moment.

"Jamie, what are you doing here?" Eddie asked with a smile as she let him in.

"There was something I needed to tell you."

"Alright, do you want something to drink?" Eddie asked as she headed into her kitchen.

"Naw I'm good thanks."

"Suit yourself." Eddie said as she grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. "So what's up?" Eddie asked as they headed over to the couch and sat down.

"Something has come up that is really great, but I'm a little worried about how you'll take the news." Jamie said honestly.

"Well just tell me and we'll see." Eddie said not liking how this was going.

"I was picked to go to D.C to work as a protection detail for political figures for six months on a contract." Jamie simply said.

"Well that's great Jamie. I mean it sucks that you'll be in D.C and we won't be partners for six months, but I mean it's a great opportunity for you right?" Eddie said trying to sound supportive even though she didn't want Jamie to leave.

"Ya it's a great opportunity. They picked me out of all cops in the country so it's a huge opportunity for me."

"Well that's great. When do you leave?"

"It was supposed to be Friday, but I just got the call I have to leave within the next six hours."

"I can't imagine the Chief took that well. He hates short notice." Eddie said as she rolled her eyes.

"He really does and he wasn't too happy, but what could he say? He can't deny it because then my father would just out rank him on it."

"This is wild. You'll be gone for six months and you're leaving in a few hours. That's crazy." Eddie said with a smile.

"I know. I'm both excited and terrified."

"Hell I'd be peeing my pants right now." Eddie joked and they both laughed at it.

"When I get back I promise I will take you to dinner to make up for all the horrible partners you'll get while I'm gone." Jamie said with a smile.

"I'm gonna hold you to that Reagan. Although, I could find a new partner and he might be even better than you. I might have to let you go Reagan." Eddie said with a playful smile.

"Oh well then I could always find a new partner too. Like one that knows what a salad is." Jamie joked back.

"I know what a salad is, it's what rabbits eat." Eddie said with a smile and a playful shove at Jamie's shoulder.

"I'm gonna miss you Eddie." Jamie said honestly.

"I'll miss you too. Maybe when you're not busy you could come down and visit."

"I will and I can always email you. You can tell me all about the horrible partners and calls you get."

"That's a promise."

"I wasn't going to leave without telling you and seeing you. There was no way I was going to leave without saying goodbye to you." Jamie said in a serious voice.

"I would hope not. It would hurt a lot if you just left without telling me." Eddie said honestly back.

"Look, I don't know what the next six months are going to bring, but there is one thing I'm certain of." Jamie started.

"And what's that?"

"That I'm never going to be able to stop thinking about you." Jamie said as he ran his hand through Eddie's hair and kept his hand on her left cheek.

"I don't want you to stop thinking about me, because I'll be thinking about you the whole time." Eddie said softly back.

"We've fought this thing between us for the past year. We did it because we were partners and we didn't want to screw that up, but I'm leaving for six months. We're not partners right now." Jamie started and Eddie cut him off.

"But what about when you get back? Then what? We pretend like nothing happened? I can't do that Jamie." Eddie said honestly

"I can't either. Maybe it's time we started to be what we want to be and not just settling for partnership. Anything could happen in the next six months and I don't know about you, but I don't want to have any regret between us. I don't want to regret walking away from someone that I could see myself spending the rest of my life. I don't want to regret not living out of fear that we have to work with other people."

"Jamie." Eddie cut him off again.

"Ya"

"Shut up and kiss me already." Eddie said with a smirk.

That was all Jamie needed. He pulled her into a kiss that quickly turned passionate and heated. They both had wanted this for a long time now and now that it was happening, neither of them were backing down now or holding back. After a minute Eddie moved so she was straddling Jamie's lap as the kiss heated up even more. Eddie's hands went to Jamie's shirt and started to pull it off. They broke the kiss long enough to get Jamie's shirt over his head. Once the shirt was removed they went right back to kissing and Eddie ran her hands over Jamie's hard torso while Jamie went to remove Eddie's shirt. With Eddie's shirt gone Jamie started to kiss along her neck and Eddie couldn't help but moan at the contact. She rocked her hips into Jamie's lap and she could feel him already hard. They both moaned at what they both knew was coming and what they both had wanted for so long. Jamie moved his hands to Eddie's ass and he pushed her against him as she rocked her hips and he continued to kiss her neck.

"Mmm Jamie, bedroom now." Eddie moaned.

Jamie stood up with his hands still on Eddie's ass and Eddie wrapped her legs around Jamie's hips. They had managed to get to the bedroom without falling over as they frantically moved down the hallway. Once in the bedroom Jamie put Eddie on her bed as they continued to kiss. He moved his hands to unhook her bra and with it removed he moved his hands to her breast. Eddie moaned into the kiss and moved her hands to Jamie's belt. She worked on remove it and then undoing his jeans. Jamie moved his hands to Eddie's pants and they both worked each other out of their remaining articles of clothing. Once both were naked Jamie laid Eddie down against her pillows as he kissed down her neck to each breast and then down her stomach to her core. Eddie moaned and he twined her fingers into Jamie's hair as he started to lick and suck at her wet core. Jamie couldn't help, but think about how he had never tasted something so sweet and the sounds Eddie was making were driving him crazy.

"Oh God Jamie." Eddie moaned and Jamie knew she wasn't going to last much longer.

He continued on what he was doing and only a minute later Eddie was screaming his name as he tasted her sweet juices on his tongue. When he felt her stop pulsing he kissed his way back up her body. When he was close enough Eddie pulled him into a heated kiss as she stroked him. Jamie moaned into the kiss before he broke off.

"Condoms?" Jamie said with a heavy breath.

"Top drawer." Eddie said as she reached over to her bedside table.

Jamie reached over and opened the drawer and pulled out a condom. While he was doing that Eddie went to work kissing along Jamie's neck and stroking him. Jamie quickly got the condom on before he put himself between Eddie's legs and he very slowly pushed himself inside of her. Once he was fully inside of her they both moaned at how amazing it felt. Jamie didn't move for a minute he just let them enjoy the feeling and letting Eddie adjust to his size. Once he was sure she was ready he slowly started to pull out and push back in. He kept it slow at first so Eddie could adjust and he didn't know how much longer he would last if he went fast with the noises that Eddie was making. After five minutes Eddie couldn't take the pace anymore.

"Faster Jamie. Oh fuck faster." Eddie moaned.

Jamie picked up the pace and before they both knew it they were pounding against each other just trying to get Jamie even deeper inside of her. They were both a moaning and sweaty mess and they loved every second of it. After a great thirty minutes Eddie had cum once already and she was about to cum her second time since they started having sex. They were both close and they ended up cumming together with a loud moan. Jamie didn't pull out right away though. He just kissed Eddie softly and slowly. Allowing them to catch their breaths and still feel connected. Neither wanted this to end, but they knew that within the next six hours Jamie could be leaving for D.C for six months. Jamie knew that he should be telling Eddie where he was really going, but this way she wouldn't worry about him all day long. He didn't want her distracted while out on tour. After a moment Jamie slowly pulled out of Eddie and got up to remove the condom.

"Now we need a shower." Eddie said with a smile.

"Ya we do."

"Think you can handle it?" Eddie asked with a flirtatious smile.

"Oh I think I can handle it." Jamie said back with his own devilish smile.

Eddie got up out of bed and headed for the bathroom with Jamie right behind her.

End of Flashback

"I went to see her before I had to leave. I didn't want Eddie to be something I regret. I think I love her. I thought what I had with Sydney was love, but when I think about Eddie or when I see her, what I feel for her is more than I ever felt for Sydney even when we were at our peak. Eddie's my best friend and when she looks at me she sees just me, not the name, not the potential, just me. It wasn't like that with Sydney. I thought I loved Sydney, but being with Eddie makes me realise that what I had with Sydney wasn't love. It scares me how much I care about her, but at the same time I never want to go back to having to live my life without her in it. I don't know maybe that sounds stupid." Jamie said with a weak voice.

"That doesn't sound stupid at all. That's how I feel about Linda." Danny said with a smile.

"It's how I felt about your mother son. It's a good thing. Eddie is a wonderful woman I would be proud to have her apart of this family."

"I like her a lot better than Sydney. No offense or anything, but Sydney grew up with wealthy parents and she expected the best. She was all about money and the finer things in life. You two just didn't fit for me. But Eddie she's down to earth and humble and kind. She's a lot like you and that works for you. You complement each other." Danny said.

"Thanks Danny."

Danny made his way down to Jamie's chest and stomach being careful not to hurt him too much. Once his front was cleaned up Danny grabbed the bowl to go and change the water leaving Frank and Jamie alone.

"How are you feeling son?" Frank asked gently.

"I'm tired. It hurts, it hurts a lot Dad." Jamie said with a shaky voice as a few tears escaped his swollen eyes.

Frank moved his hand and gently wiped away the tears.

"Sorry" Jamie said as he took a breath to calm himself down.

"You have nothing to be sorry for son. It's just us here. No one is going to do anything to you or say anything to you about it. You don't have to be so tough anymore, the rest of us will be." Frank said in a fatherly voice.

"I was so scared. I thought tonight was going to be it."

"It's okay you're safe now and you will stay safe. Words can't describe how proud I am of you son. You've done an amazing thing and together we will get these bastards."

"I need to get them Dad."

"I know and we will son I promise we will get them."

Danny came back into the room with some clean warm water. He put the water on the table as he spoke.

"So I'm thinking we should get you out of those jeans first and then work on your back, because Linda and Pop should be back soon and she can patch up your back at the same time." Danny said.

"Sure" Jamie said clearly too tired and in too much pain to even begin to argue.

Frank moved so he could remove Jamie's shoes and socks. With that done they both got Jamie's bloody and dirty jeans off. They were able to get him into the black sweat pants easily enough. Thankfully his bottom half of his body wasn't really injured, just some bruising. With the pants on Jamie, Frank and Danny got him to sit up so Danny could wash the blood from his back. Frank sat on the couch facing Jamie to help holding him up and Danny got rid of the blood. It was another twenty minutes later and they were just about done cleaning up the blood when Henry and Linda came back into the house. They put the couple of bags down on the counter before they headed into the living room. They walked in just as Danny was finishing up Jamie's back. Linda went over to them as she spoke.

"How are you making out?"

"Good just finishing up. Did you get the supplies you needed?" Danny asked.

"I did. Here let me get set up and then I can bandage Jamie up." Linda said as she headed back out to grab the supplies from the kitchen.

"I'll put on some coffee. Francis you should get dressed." Henry said.

"Go ahead Dad I got this." Danny reassured his father.

Frank got up from the couch and Danny took his place while Linda came back in with her supplies. She went over to Jamie's back and picked back up the cloth to get the rest of the blood off.

"We need to change these sheets too I don't want the blood back on him." Linda said as she worked.

"I'll bring some down with me." Frank said as he headed out of the room to go upstairs and get dressed. Normally he wouldn't have bothered, but soon he would need to be the Commissioner and not just a father of the officer that had been almost killed.

He once again would have to mix his personal life and business life together. It was happening more and more as his sons made their way through the ranks of the police force. Jamie should have been promoted to Detective by now, but everyone was afraid to recommend him for promotion at the risk of being told they were trying to suck up. As a result his son was still on patrol when he should be a detective by now. Frank hated being the one that was holding his son back. It's part of the reason why he didn't force Jamie to stay and not go undercover. The F.B.I. showed an interest in Jamie, it was a huge once in a life time opportunity for him. Frank couldn't be the one that held him back from that either, no matter how terrified he was every single day that he would get the call that his baby boy was dead. Frank looked down at his hands and saw that they were stained red with his son's blood. Frank couldn't even begin to describe how terrified he felt when he saw his son so severely beat up and bleeding. He thought for sure his son was going to die in his arms in the house he grew up in. Frank wasn't going to be letting Jamie go back to his own apartment until he was fully healed. He knew he didn't need to, but he wasn't going to let Jamie out of his sight until he knew he was completely recovered from everything he had been through.

Frank got dressed in a suit, but kept the jacket off. He was ready to do business, but he didn't want to feel stuffy in his own home. Once dressed he headed into the linen closet and got out some fresh sheets, a spare pillow and a small blanket that would work to cover Jamie up until they got him upstairs to his old room. With everything he needed he headed back down the stairs to see Linda still bandaging Jamie's back up. Frank went over and placed what he had in his arms down on the chair.

"Coffee is on." Henry said as he walked into the living room.

"Thanks Pop." Frank said as he watched Linda placing bandages all over Jamie's back. After twenty minutes he was all bandaged up and his ribs were lightly wrapped just as a precaution.

They got Jamie to sit down on the coffee table while they quickly changed the sheets out and put the pillow down. They then got Jamie to lie back against the pillow and Danny put the blanket to Jamie's hips so the weight wouldn't hurt his fresh injuries. Linda then came into the room with a glass of water and a pill.

"This is your pain pill. Now you're supposed to be taking a full one, but it will make you very tired and you aren't supposed to be sleeping just yet. So I cut it in half it will help take the edge off of the pain, but it won't make you any more tired than you already are. You also need to drink lots of water to help with the blood loss." Linda explained as she went over to Jamie and helped him take the pill and get some water. With that done there was a knock at the kitchen door.

Henry headed out to answer it and a moment later he walked back in with Eddie walking in behind him. Once she saw the condition of Jamie on the couch the shock was clear on her face.

"Oh my God Jamie." Eddie said with concern as she went over to Jamie.

Linda and Danny moved out of the way so Eddie could sit on the edge of the couch. Her hands hovered over his chest afraid to touch him. Jamie moved his left hand up and Eddie grabbed a hold of it lightly as Jamie spoke weakly.

"I'll be ok."

"Shut up, you are not ok." Eddie said sadly.

Jamie brought his hand up to her right cheek and ran his thumb along it.

"I'm sorry." Jamie softly said.

"Don't do that. Don't apologise for this. I don't know what the hell is going on, but I know you well enough to know that you hid this from me for a really good reason."

"I knew you would worry no matter what, but I didn't want that burden on you. That fear."

"It's okay and when you are all better you can make it up to me." Eddie said with a small smile.

"I can only imagine." Jamie said joked lightly.

"There's this new all you can eat buffet that opened up last month. I was thinking my partner could take me when he got back from this once in a life time opportunity in D.C. Now I think I'll make my boyfriend take me once he's all healed up from his undercover operation. Or maybe twice. Ya definitely twice." Eddie said with a smile.

"The poor owner is going to go out of business with you as a customer." Jamie joked.

"Oh you have no idea. I've been stuck with Olinsky for the past two weeks as my partner. Not only does he skip his meal times he eats only healthy food. So for two weeks I've been starving and eating at these rabbit food and tofu places. Do you have any idea how disgusting a tofu burger tastes like?" Eddie complained with a smile and Jamie couldn't help, but smile back.

"You poor thing. You must be wasting away only being able to eat six times a day instead of ten." Jamie joked back.

"Laugh it up mister you're going to hear all about it trust me on that one. I've got eight months' worth of bitching to make up for."

"Looking forwards to it."

The others in the room couldn't help, but smile. Eddie was a true match for Jamie. She was down to earth and she knew how to handle this life. She knew what it was like to be a cop and that sometimes things had to be kept a secret. She knew how to just care about him and not what he represented.

"I think we're looking at our future sister-in-law." Linda whispered to Danny.

"Couldn't have asked for anyone better for him." Danny said with complete honesty to his voice.

"I agree." Linda said with a smile.

"I really want to kiss you, but my boss is standing over there." Eddie whispered to Jamie so only he could hear.

He couldn't help, but laugh at that and promptly groaned at the pain.

"Don't make me laugh." Jamie said with pain in his voice.

"Sorry, but it's true." Eddie said with a smile.

Jamie gently guided Eddie down to him and she gently placed a soft kiss to his mouth and then quickly pulled back.

"He's off the clock." Jamie said with a smile.

"It's alright Eddie, no one here is at work. We can worry about partnerships when he is ready to return to work." Frank said with a smile.

Eddie gave a small smile as there was another knock on the door. Henry went to answer it knowing that it would be this Agent Richards. Henry let Richards in and they both headed into the living room. Richards was shocked at how bad Jamie looked.

"Jamie, what the hell happened?" Richards asked with concern and anger at the situation.

"We don't know yet. All we know is that he said there was a mole in your department." Frank said.

"Is he awake?" Richards asked.

"Ya I'm awake." Jamie said weakly as he was getting to be more tired.

"Jamie, first of all are you going to be alright?" Richards asked.

"He'll be fine in a couple of months. He has a lot of injuries." Frank answered.

"Jamie, I need to know what happened. Where are Spencer and Pierce?" Richards asked.

"At their cover house handcuffed and locked in a closet."

"Why? Are they ok?" Richards asked with concern again.

"They're fine."

"Who got to you three?"

"I got to them. One of them is the mole that gave me up to Sidorov. I didn't know which one though so I took them out first." Jamie answered.

"Ok start at the beginning. How did you know you were made?" Richards asked.

"Ok I'm sorry, but I thought you were undercover for the NYPD." Eddie interrupted confused as to what the situation was.

"No he went undercover for me, the F.B.I." Richards said.

"And who was he going after? Who is this Sidorov guy?" Henry asked.

"The short version is, he's the leader of a global human trafficking ring that started to grow in the States." Richards answered.

"Human trafficking?" Danny asked shocked that that was what the organization was about that Jamie went after.

"Well I knew you would have a good reason to lie to me." Eddie said shocked.

"Jamie was going after human traffickers and you knew about it." Henry said angrily at Frank.

"I did and it wasn't my place to tell anyone. He wasn't even supposed to tell me, but he gave me his word that he would if a situation ever came up again like the Blue Templar. It's not important that he didn't tell anyone, but me right now. What is important is finding out what happened and figuring out how we can shut these bastards down." Frank said with anger right back at his father.

"What happened little brother? Two months ago everything was going well it was on the up and up. What changed?" Danny asked calmly.

"I don't know. I think the mole thought I was on to something and he ratted me out. Everything was going fine I was invited back to Sidorov's house one other time and it was going good. Then all of a sudden two days ago everyone was different. The smaller fish stopped talking to me about things and only answered with short replies. Khovac didn't speak to me or even come around me. My handlers they had been acting differently for the past week, but I didn't think anything of it. I mean it's been eight months and that's a long time for them to be doing this too. Something just didn't feel right. Then this morning Khovac slipped up he mentioned how my friend was coming around the house more and more. Agent Spencer had been by a lot more recently in the past three months. We didn't think they were watching the house. That made me think there was a mole between the two of them. Then Sidorov calls me and he never calls me. He told me to come by tonight he had a case for me. I knew he was lying I could tell. I was made and I knew the second I showed up tonight that it was game over."

"So what happened they got to you before you could leave?" Eddie asked.

"I didn't leave. I knew I was made so they already knew who I was and how to find me pretty easily or anyone else in the family. I went and took care of Pierce and Spencer first. I got them handcuffed and gaged in the closet at the safe house so they couldn't contact Sidorov. I then went back to my place and removed all of the cameras and mics. I waited until after sunset when Sidorov would be at his house, but I knew he liked to swim at night especially before a meeting. I snuck around and checked and he was in the backyard. I went through the house hiding the cameras and mics before I went into the office and transferred the whole hard drive of the laptop on to a thumb drive. I was about to leave when they came back inside."

"Where is the thumb drive?" Richards asked.

"You did it again didn't you?" Danny asked with a smirk.

"Did what again?" Eddie asked.

"It's a gift." Jamie said back with a small smile.

"Ok what is?" Eddie asked.

"He swallowed the thumb drive so he could cough it back up later." Danny said.

"You can do that?" Eddie asked impressed.

"It's a gift. Plus if I did die then after the autopsy it would have been found and you still would have been able to shut them down." Jamie explained.

"So where is it now?" Richards asked.

"I haven't coughed it back up yet."

"It usually takes a few hours before he can." Frank added.

"I don't even want to know how you figured out you can do that." Richards said with a small shake of his head.

"He was five and the youngest among three older siblings he had to do something to stand out." Henry said.

"Alright, what happened after they caught you?" Richards asked.

"Got attacked and questioned. Sidorov told his three enforcers to take me to the fun house. As they were trying to get me into one of their cars I was able to get away. My car was a few blocks away so I ran as best as I could, but they caught up to me. We were by the lake and we ended up fighting. The one guy had a knife, I got stabbed a few times and well you can see the rest. I was able to kill them and I used the zip ties to tie em together and then I pushed them into the lake so they would sink to the bottom for a week before they floated up. I marked the spot with an X in my blood before I went back to my car and came here. Now we have seventy-two hours before Sidorov kills the women and children."

"Why three days?" Eddie asked confused.

"Before Jamie went in a total of a hundred other undercover Agents from various Agencies all over the world have tried to shut this organization down. All were made within the first two months. They were all tortured and mutilated before death, then placed on the doorsteps of the Agency they worked for. Coroner's reports states they were tortured for seventy-two hours exactly before they were killed." Richards answered.

"Oh so this Sidorov guy is going to think that his goons are torturing you for the next three days." Danny said understanding what this meant.

"Sidorov and his men don't talk to each other during that time, because he doesn't want to be connected should something go wrong. So he's not going to be expecting them back for three days and he won't think anything is wrong until they don't show back up." Jamie said.

"So we have three days to shut them down for good before they kill everyone and leave." Frank said.

"Well what about the mole? Which one is it?" Linda asked.

"Any ideas kid?" Danny asked.

"It could go either way. I mean they are polar opposites. Agent Pierce he's all business. He comes by only when he needs to and when I tell him things that the little fish tell me he says not to focus on it. He doesn't ask how I am, nothing he keeps it professional. Whereas Agent Spencer he's completely different. I tell him the same thing about the little fish he tells me to keep memory of it, because I might need that info one day you just never know. He comes by with pizza or take-out just to hang out some nights and we watch a sports game. He tells me about what he knows that is going on back here and how his family is doing. He's even spent the night twice when I was too paranoid and scared to go to sleep thinking it wasn't safe. He would be in the living room all night while I got some sleep. In the morning he would have breakfast and coffee ready to go. I mean you could argue it either way." Jamie said frustrated.

"This Pierce guy is keeping his distance so you don't suspect him of doing anything wrong. Or he's just focused on the job and doesn't want to get attached. Whereas this Spencer guy, he could be trying to get your trust so you don't suspect him of stabbing you in the back. Or he could be trying to be your friend because he knows you need someone there in your corner for you. Both are valid scenarios." Henry said.

"What is your gut telling you kid?" Danny asked.

"My gut is telling me that Spencer is a good guy. I mean there were a lot of times when I was just having a hard time. I would go a week without sleep and he would show up and just hang out and talk. He would stay so I would go to sleep. He would bring groceries by or medical supplies. He's helped me out when I was hurt, he printed off your emails and would bring them to me so I could read them. Honestly, I don't know what I would have done half the time if it wasn't for him. He kept me going."

"You could think that though, because you don't want what he did for you to be all a lie." Henry said gently.

"It's more than that Gramps. He told me a story about three months ago. He used to live in Texas with his family. It was almost thirty years ago, he was ten at the time. His uncle and his aunt were both shot in their home one night. His sixteen year old cousin was taken by the shooters. She was found a year later when the F.B.I. raided a house in Mexico that they suspected was being used for human trafficking. They found her body in the house, she died a week before the raid. He told me when he found out what happened that was when he wanted to become a Federal Agent. He wanted to help shut down human trafficking rings so no young women or families would have to go through that pain. He seemed really upset and hurt over it when he was telling me. Maybe he made it up, but if it's true there's no way he's the mole." Jamie said.

"We can check that though right? I mean there must be a record of it somewhere." Eddie said.

"There will be a record I can check easily enough. If it's true then Peirce is the mole." Richards said.

"Have you had any problems with either of the two before?" Frank asked Agent Richards.

"No none. They are the best handlers I've worked with, it's why I gave both of them to Jamie. Normally he would have only gone with one, but he was new to the game and this was a huge operation. I thought by having the two of them there he would feel safer and more confident. This was the first human trafficking operation Pierce has been on and Spencer has helped shut down three other human trafficking organizations. I had no reason not to trust either of them." Richards said.

"Look we gotta figure out which one of them is the mole, but we could always keep them in the box for three days and do it afterwards. We need to figure out how to shut these guys down first." Danny said.

"I have an idea, but you might not like it." Jamie said.

"You're the only one with an idea right now so go for it." Richards said.

"I didn't get to look at everything while it was being copied, but he has everything on file. All of the locations, who is guarding it, how many girls are there. He even has it by states of who is on his payroll, judges, agents, doctors and even police." Jamie started.

"He actually kept an electronic record of it?" Danny asked surprised.

"He's an arrogant and cocky bastard. He didn't think anyone would ever get close enough to him." Richards said.

"He didn't expect a Reagan to be doing the job." Henry said proudly.

"What's your plan son?" Frank asked getting them back on track.

"There are a total of fourteen states, thirteen if you minus New York. Each state has two locations all in rural areas within two miles from each other. There are also forty locations in twenty cities across Europe with the same setup. Sixty-eight locations worldwide and the only way we can assure that they don't start killing everyone off when one is hit, is by hitting them all at the same time across the world." Jamie said.

"You want to hit sixty-eight locations all at the same time?" Eddie asked shocked.

"It's just an idea." Jamie started, but Danny cut him off.

"I like it." Danny said with a smile.

"Is that even possible?" Linda asked.

"It would be a logistic nightmare, but it could be done." Henry said.

"Anyone else have any other ideas?" Richards asked as he looked at both Frank and Danny.

"I like Jamie's. It's better than what I would have come up with." Danny answered.

"It'll be a mess to figure out." Henry warned.

"It would be, but it is a good plan and it's the best chance we have of saving as many women and children as we can." Frank said after a moment of thinking.

"Is it possible though?" Eddie asked still not understanding how to even pull something like this off.

"Commissioner, obviously you and your family have an invested interest in this operation." Richards began.

"We do. Jamie is my son, he is my family. I'm not about to let this be for nothing." Frank said in a serious voice.

"I'm not either. Would you be willing to make this a joint task force?" Richards asked.

"That's fine by me, but I would need to bring people in on this to help us coordinate and perfect this plan." Frank said.

"Call in anyone you want. We have three days to execute this plan or victims are going to die. Can we coordinate out of here so we don't have to move Jamie?" Richards asked now all business.

"This house is secured." Frank said.

"Good, call in whoever needs to be a part of this. I will brief everyone fully once they have arrived. I will call a trusted Agent of mine to pick up Pierce and Spencer and have them check Spencer's story. When it is confirmed or not then we will know who the mole is." Richards said.

"Pop, you call Erin and have her and McBride come down here. Danny, you call Baez and Renzulli and get them here. I will call Garret and he will get Gormley and Baker here. I want them here right away we don't have much time." Frank gave his orders.

It was well after midnight and they knew that none of them would be happy at being woken up, but it couldn't be avoided. They needed to jump on this right away as it was going to take a lot of hours to get it all set up. The four of them headed out of the room to make their calls. Leaving Linda, Eddie and Jamie alone.

"I'm going to get some coffee and make everyone a cup. Eddie would you like some?" Linda asked with a smile.

"Yes that would be great thanks."

"No problem how do you like it?" Linda asked.

"Two milk and two sugars please."

"Jamie, make sure you drink some water that's an order." Linda said before she headed out of the living room giving Eddie and Jamie some privacy for a few minutes while everyone was on the phone.

Eddie picked up the glass of water as she spoke.

"Here I have your water. You need to drink some babe."

Eddie helped Jamie hold onto the glass as he took a drink and then she placed it back down on the coffee table.

"Eddie, I'm really sorry about lying to you. I just didn't want you to have that burden and fear all the time." Jamie said apologetically.

"I know Jamie. I'm not mad really. I'm just glad you're alive and going to be okay eventually after all of this. You're going after human traffickers. I can't be mad at you about that and if I was given the opportunity I wouldn't have told you either. I get it. How bad are you injured?" Eddie asked sadly.

"Skull fracture, broken cheek bone, cracked jaw, five stab wounds, four broken ribs and three cracked ones and a sprained wrist. Plus my back."

"What's wrong with your back?" Eddie asked with concern.

"Eddie um… a lot happened in the past eight months. A lot of bad things." Jamie started and Eddie could hear the pain in his voice at just the mentioning of it.

"Hey whatever happened we can get through it together. I'm not running anywhere. You can tell me anything Jamie it's not going to make me think differently of you." Eddie said with strength to her voice.

"I was whipped tonight and six other times in the past eight months. They did it to condition me into not being weak. They always wanted the smaller fish to be stronger and too afraid to go against them. Other things happened, but I don't want to talk about it right now." Jamie said with complete pain to his voice.

A tear rolled down Eddie's cheek and she forced her voice to sound normal.

"Whenever you are ready to talk about it, I'll be there I promise. It's okay it doesn't change how I feel about you. You're so strong Jamie and I'm really proud of you." Eddie said as she forced her voice to sound normal even though she had tears going down her face.

"That means a lot Eddie." Jamie said back.

"Okay I have coffee." Linda said as she came back into the room carrying a tray with milk and sugar on it as well as her and Eddie's mugs. She saw that Eddie was crying and trying to hide it from Jamie. She mouthed "are you okay?" to Eddie and Eddie gave a nod.

"Thanks for the coffee. I'll be right back I have to go to the bathroom." Eddie said as she got up slowly so she wouldn't hurt Jamie.

"Ya it's just upstairs first door on the left." Linda said with a smile.

"Thanks." Eddie said as she walked out of the room and headed into the kitchen.

The kitchen was empty so she allowed herself to let the tears fall. She had just found out a lot of information and now the man she cared deeply about, could even love and get married to, was severely injured and traumatised. He had been whipped seven times over eight months and Eddie knew there was more to cause that level of pain in Jamie's voice. It was a lot to take in and she hated that she couldn't just magically make him better. Eddie was brought out of her thoughts when a voice spoke.

"Are you okay Eddie?" Frank asked gently as he came into the kitchen and saw Eddie crying.

Eddie snapped her head up and when she saw that it was Frank she wiped at her eyes as she spoke. "Yes I'm sorry Sir." Eddie said embarrassed that she had been caught crying by the Commissioner.

"There's no need for the Sir Eddie. We're not at work and you are not in your uniform." Frank said gently.

"Sorry. It's kinda weird." Eddie said honestly as she wiped the rest of the tears from her cheeks.

"You'll get used to it. It took Jamie and Danny a little while to get used to it as well. It's not easy having to be a father and their boss at the same time."

"I can't even imagine. They don't seem to have a problem with it though. Jamie's always careful he doesn't do anything that could seem like he's abusing his relationship with you."

"It's been harder on him than on Danny. Danny has ten years on Jamie so higher ranking officers didn't hesitate in promoting him. They hesitate with Jamie afraid that it will appear to be favoritism." Frank said sadly.

"Everyone at the station either thinks he shouldn't be using you as a leg up or they think he should be using you. He can't really win either way, but he doesn't mind. He has their respect and that's all he cares about. Is that why you let him go on this operation, because you feel like you're holding him back?" Eddie asked cautiously.

"What makes you think I could have stopped him?" Frank asked calmly.

"You're his hero. He looks up to you and loves you completely. If you told him you didn't want him to go or that he shouldn't be doing it then he wouldn't have gone. You let him go."

"I did let him go. I could have stopped him, but then he would have always wondered if he made the right choice. I couldn't let him regret not going, because of me. He was going to go, it's who he is. He wouldn't have been able to live with himself if he knew he did nothing to try and help these women and children. I had to let him go and believe he would come back."

A few tears escaped Eddie's eyes and she wiped them away with anger.

"I'm sorry."

"It's perfectly fine. This isn't an easy situation to handle." Frank said gently.

"He just told me that he had been whipped. He's just such a good guy ya know? I hate knowing he's in so much pain on all levels. He's too good to deserve this." Eddie said sadly.

"He's going to be going through a lot in the next few months. He'll overcome it with time. He was worried that you would be mad at him for keeping this from you."

"I should be mad, but he's alive. How can I be mad when he's alive? That's all that matters to me, because we can't fight or go out to eat or talk if he's dead. I just want to be there for him and help him get past this. After that maybe I'll be mad about it, but I would have done the same thing. I can't really get mad at him for doing something that I would and I know he wouldn't get mad at me. He's alive, everything else can be fixed, but you can't fix dead."

Frank smiled at Eddie before he spoke. "You are a good cop and you are a great woman. I would be proud to have you a part of this family and with my son."

Eddie gave a shy smile. "That means a lot to me. It's weird, because we just technically started dating the day he left, but I care a lot about him. I can actually see myself getting married to him and that doesn't scare me. He's my partner, my best friend and I couldn't imagine not having him in my life. It's like we've always been together. It's crazy, but I wouldn't change it for the world."

"That's exactly the same way I felt about my wife. It's a good feeling and one you shouldn't be afraid of. Just take it slow and you two will be just fine. If you ever need to talk my door is always open to you Eddie."

"Thanks I appreciate that. I should get back in there I told him I was going to the bathroom. Thankfully Linda covered for me." Eddie said with a small smile.

"She's another great woman."

"That she is. Danny is very lucky to have found her." Eddie agreed.

"And he would agree with you on that completely." Frank said as they headed back into the living room.

Eddie went back over to Jamie and sat down where she was. She picked up her cup of coffee as Danny, Henry and Richards came into the room.

"Erin is on her way she is going to pick up McBride and she was not happy. I just told her that Jamie was here and he was injured. That she needed to bring McBride with her and all would be explained then." Henry said.

"Good. Garret is picking up Baker and informing Gormley to come down here. They will be here within the hour. Danny, did you get a hold of Renzulli and Baez?" Frank asked.

"Ya Renzulli and Baez are on the way. I told them what Gramps told Erin basically. I didn't want to explain much more yet."

"My Agent is going to pick up both Pierce and Spencer. He is then going to look into the story Spencer told Jamie. Commissioner, do you have an office I could use to print off the files for everyone?" Richards asked.

"I do." Frank said.

"I'll show you." Henry said.

"Danny." Jamie said weakly.

"Ya kid?" Danny asked with concern.

"Help me up eh?"

"You shouldn't be moving anywhere." Linda said.

"I need to cough up the evidence so we can print everything and have the data." Jamie said.

"Alright, but we're going in the kitchen to do this." Danny said as he headed over to Jamie.

Eddie got out of the way so Danny could help Jamie to stand up, but she didn't go far in case Jamie needed help. Henry led Richards out of the room and into Frank's office where he could print out files. Danny got Jamie up and into the kitchen so he could cough up the thumb drive and they would be able to use it to print off the data to brief everyone. They got into the kitchen and Jamie leaned against the counter breathing heavy.

"You okay kid?" Danny asked with concern.

"I gotta stop swallowing thumb drives." Jamie tried to joke lightly.

"You should stop swallowing things in general. One day you're not gonna be able to cough it back up."

"I know, I've only done it twice since I was a kid and both were necessary."

"I know kid. Its good having you back. I wish you weren't so injured though."

"That makes two of us. I was scared Danny, really scared." Jamie whispered.

"Me to kid. But you're safe now and we'll get this finished. You've taken it this far and now it's time for you to rest and we'll take it the rest of the way. All you have to do is cough up the evidence." Danny said with a small smile.

"You know I can do this by myself. I have a lot of practice." Jamie said with a very small smile so he wouldn't hurt his injuries.

"I have two kids trust me I've seen grosser things. Some of those things from you. Don't forget who used to take care of you when you had the flu and Mom and Dad had to work. I got ten years on you kid I've changed your diapers and bathed you baby brother." Danny said with a smirk.

"That sounds really weird and creepy when you say that." Jamie said with a smirk.

"Ya well price you pay for being the oldest. My job is to take care of you and protect you. Clearly I've been failing in that area recently." Danny said sadly.

"You…I have to throw up and then I'm going to comment." Jamie said and a second later he was throwing up into the sink.

Danny went over to the paper towels and he grabbed a bunch before he went back over to the sink and put a comforting hand on his brother's shoulders. He remembered how Jamie always hated throwing up, more so then a normal person. It's why he never got too drunk because he didn't want to be spending the day hungover throwing up. What scared Danny was the amount of blood that Jamie was throwing up along with the thumb drive. When Jamie was done Danny picked up the thumb drive and wiped it off while Jamie rinsed out the sink.

"You don't usually have to throw up to do that." Danny said concerned.

"I feel better for what little that counts right now." Jamie said with a shaky voice.

"Babe, come here for a sec." Danny yelled to Linda who was in the living room.

"I'm fine Danny."

"I know, but that was a lot of blood and I just want to make sure is all." Danny said calmly.

Linda came around the corner as she spoke.

"Is everything ok?" Linda asked with concern as she headed over to Jamie and Danny.

"He just threw up a bunch of blood along with the thumb drive." Danny said.

"I thought you normally just cough it back up?" Linda asked with concern as she went over to Jamie more.

"I do, but all of a sudden my stomach flipped. I feel better now. It was hurting before, but I didn't think anything of it considering."

"Well it's not uncommon to throw up blood after being stabbed that many times. Some of the blood would go into your stomach not to mention the blood that you would have swallowed during the fight. That combined with the thumb drive would have been enough to push your stomach too far. Plus your skull fracture can make you sick. Just in case we'll put a garbage can next to you in case you have any more blood in your stomach." Linda said.

"Could you have missed something?" Danny asked with concern.

"We only have an ultrasound machine, I mean we could have missed anything. I'll go over your stomach again to make sure there isn't anything wrong internally. You really need to get to a hospital Jamie for scans as soon as possible." Linda said.

"Once this is over with I will."

"I'll go and get you a small garbage bin you can use to throw up in if you have to again. You might find that with the skull fracture you do, it's very common." Linda said.

"Thanks babe." Danny said as Linda turned to head out of the kitchen.

"Danny, listen to me. I'm in pain and I'm exhausted and I don't know how much longer I can stay awake for all of this. None of this is your fault. I made the choice to go in. I made the choice to go after the evidence when I knew I was made. This is on me and not on you. I get that you feel like you have to protect all of us and be there for us and I appreciate it I really do. Sometimes though you get so busy worrying about us that you forget about yourself. You deserve to be protected and cared for too and I'll always be there for you when you need someone too." Jamie said weakly and slightly out of breath.

"I know I can always count on you kid. Now let's get you back into the living room and lying down." Danny said with a slight concern at his brother's condition.

"I don't feel so good Danny." Jamie said with a weak voice as he swayed slightly.

Danny grabbed a hold of Jamie and Jamie couldn't help but put his head down on Danny's shoulder. Danny held onto Jamie as his legs gave out and Danny slowly got them to the floor as he called out.

"Dad! Linda! Help!"

Danny instantly heard running and he knew that everyone would be coming in to see what the problem was. Frank and Linda came around the island first to see Jamie passed out in Danny's arms. Both Linda and Frank bent down to them.

"What happened?" Frank asked with concern.

"I don't know he just passed out. He seemed fine when Linda was in here and then he just wasn't." Danny said with worry

"What was he like?" Linda asked as she took the stethoscope off from around her neck to listen to Jamie's breathing and heart.

"He was fine and then he said he was in pain and exhausted, his voice got weaker and he seemed to be out of breath then he said he didn't feel good and passed out."

"Oh my God." Linda said with horror as she listened to Jamie's heart.

"What?" Danny asked with fear.

"Get him flat on the floor right now. Eddie, go grab my kit from the living room hurry." Linda said with urgency to her voice causing Eddie to run into the other room.

"What is going on?" Richards asked with concern now.

"If I'm right, a problem a very big problem." Linda said as Danny got Jamie on the floor flat on his back.

Eddie came running back in with the kit and placed it down beside Linda.

"What is going on?" Eddie asked with fear.

Linda pulled out the ultrasound machine and placed it on Jamie's heart looking as quickly as she could.

"Oh shit." Linda said with fear.

"Babe what?" Danny asked with worry.

"He has an air bubble in his heart." Linda said with a shaky voice.

"Won't that kill him?" Henry said with fear.

"If it's not removed within the next few minutes, yes." Linda said.

"So then remove it." Danny said.

"I've never done it before Danny and we don't have any machines only an ultrasound." Linda said with fear.

"But you've seen it done before?" Danny said trying to calm Linda down.

"Ya I have." Linda said as she opened her kit and pulled out a large needle.

"Wait you can't do this. We should be calling for an ambulance." Henry said.

"He'll die before it gets here." Linda said back.

"You do it wrong and you could kill him." Henry argued back.

"I don't do anything and he dies. Now everyone shut up and let me think." Linda snapped.

"Do what you need to do." Frank said as calmly as he could as he looked right at Linda.

"Danny hold the wand right here and move it where I tell you. I have to do this quickly or it'll be too late." Linda said as she handed the wand over to Danny and he placed it where he was told.

Linda then grabbed the needle and used the ultrasound image to guide her to the right place. It was an intense five minutes as they all stood there and watched as Linda inserted the needle into Jamie's heart and very slowly pulled the plunger up catching the air bubble first and then some blood afterwards. Linda slowly moved the needle back out and took the wand from Danny to make sure that she got it all. Jamie then made a groan and everyone let out a deep breath.

"He's going to be okay." Linda said with a shaky breath.

"What happened?" Jamie asked weakly.

"Let's get you back on the couch and I'll tell you." Linda said.

Frank and Danny got Jamie up off the floor and they slowly made their way over to the couch. Once Jamie was lying back down Danny went over to a still shaken up Linda and pulled her into a tight hug. He kissed the top of her head and whispered to her.

"Thank-you."

"I don't ever want to do that again." Linda said with a shaky voice.

"I know. I'm sorry Babe. I'm proud of you and I love you so much."

"I love you too."

Danny pulled back and turned his attention back to Jamie and he noticed that he was breathing slightly better now.

"What happened?" Jamie asked weakly.

"You had an air embolism in your heart or an air bubble in simple terms. I had to insert a needle using an ultrasound machine to remove it before you died." Linda started.

"Did you and Dr. Roberts miss something?" Frank asked calmly as he stood by Jamie as Eddie sat down on the side of the couch again.

"No we couldn't have seen it coming. Even in a hospital it wouldn't have been found until it reach his heart. In a sense your body hit a wall. You throwing up blood wasn't just caused from the stab wounds and you swallowing blood from your fight. The stab wounds had been bleeding for almost two hours before we were able to repair them. During that time air could have gotten in your veins from movement. All of that air formed a bubble and it worked its way through your body finally stopping at your heart. It's rare for it to go to your heart normally it would go to your lungs, but your stab wounds were all on your left side so it makes sense that it went to your heart." Linda explained.

"Could this happen again?" Eddie asked with concern.

"No it won't happen again. It was rare for it to happen the first time. It is a serious reminder of the trauma your body has gone through tonight Jamie. You need rest. I understand you want to help these people, but everyone here is going to help save as many of these women and children as they can. While they are focused on that I am solely focused on your health and there is only so much you can take before your body shuts down completely and I can't help you. So until everyone else gets here no shop talk. I don't even want to hear your voice. I want you resting. Is that clear to everyone?" Linda said in a serious voice.

"No talking got it." Danny said.

"He needs to rest. Jamie I have some cold compress that you can use on your eyes to help the swelling go down. I'll get one for you. Any shop talk happens outside of this room I mean it." Linda said in her business voice and they all knew not to mess with her.

"I'll go finish up in the office." Richards said as he headed out of the living room and back to Frank's office.

Henry sat down in one of the chairs clearly not willing to leave Jamie. Linda went into the kitchen to grab a cold compress so Eddie could use it against Jamie's eyes to try and help with the swelling. Frank opted to sit down in another chair keeping his eyes on Jamie. Linda handed Eddie the cold compress and she took it with a smile.

"Babe, I'm just gonna place this gently against your left eye tell me if it hurts too much." Eddie said gently.

Jamie just gave a weak nod and Eddie gently pressed the cold compress against his left eye. Jamie let out a wince at the cold pressure against his eye.

"Sorry." Eddie said apologetically.

"It's okay that actually feels better." Jamie said weakly.

"Frank, can I have a word with you for a moment?" Linda asked with a tone that Frank knew he didn't really get a choice in the matter.

Frank got up out of the chair and followed Linda out to the back deck. Linda didn't even waste a second before she spoke.

"Frank, I know you love Jamie and I know you want to end whatever this is for him. But at some point you might have to make a choice that could seriously piss him off. He won't go to a hospital until the three days are up and I can understand that and respect that. At the same time though the nurse me in can't help, but think that he's an idiot right now. There might come a time when his body gives in to the pain and exhaustion he is feeling. His body has been through a great deal of trauma and he should be in a hospital right now. I need to know that if the time comes when it's his life or the operation that you'll pick his life over the others and you force him into a hospital." Linda said with all business to her voice.

"I am not going to lose my son. If I have to then I will force him to go to a hospital Linda. I don't care how mad he gets about it. I will not let him just die for a favorable outcome in this. How bad is it?" Frank asked with concern.

"I don't know, that's the problem. He needs scans done and not in three days from now. Sometime during the day he is going to have to get those scans done. He could be bleeding anywhere internally and we could have no idea about it until it's too late. He should be given an I.V for fluids and anti-biotic to jump start the prescription. He should be given blood to help with the blood loss. He could have fluid in his lungs that need to be drained. Realistically he should be in the hospital for a week with his injuries, but at this point I'll take six hours for the tests and what he needs done to get him started on being healed. He needs to go today and the sooner the better." Linda answered honestly.

"The others will be here within the hour. After we get a plan going I will have Jamie go to the hospital. I'll bring him to St. Pete's. He can be checked in under a false name and I will stay with him while he is there along with my detail as a precaution."

"Good he needs to be there Frank. I know he doesn't want to jeopardize the operation and he's got to be scared, but he needs to be there even if it's just to make sure he isn't going to die while he's here recovering."

"I'll make sure he goes and if he needs to spend some time there I'll make sure he stays. I don't want him getting worse any more than you do Linda. I know what happened just now scared you and I can never thank you enough for what you did for him."

"He's family Frank I love him too. I just want to make sure that he's healthy and it's safe for him to be healing here and not in a hospital."

"We'll get him there within the next couple of hours and he can be checked out. Garret has already called my detail to come here just in case. We'll get him there."

Linda just gave a nod and Frank gave her a hug before they headed back inside into the living room. It wasn't until thirty minutes later did anyone show up and it was Renzulli first as he didn't have anyone he had to pick up. Henry opened the kitchen door to see a worried Renzulli standing on the other side. Henry gave a small smile and let Renzulli in as he spoke.

"He's in the living room."

Henry was about to close the door when he saw Baez's car pulling up next so he stood there and waited for when Danny's partner would come up the driveway. Renzulli headed into the living room and the shock was clear on his face the second his eyes landed on Jamie.

"Holy shit kid. What the hell happened to you?" Renzulli said forgetting for a second where he was.

"I'm fine Sarge." Jamie said weakly.

"Fine? You look like you went twelve rounds with Mike Tyson. What the hell kind of heroic B.S have you gotten yourself into now?" Renzulli said before he noticed that Frank was sitting in the chair beside him. "My apologies Commissioner." Renzulli said with an awkward smile.

"No apologies necessary Tony. I'm not the Commissioner until everyone gets here." Frank said.

"Ya plus he has it coming." Danny said with a smirk.

"Whoa there's a party starting here." Baez said as she walked into the living room with Henry behind her. "Damn Reagan you get hit by a truck?" She asked as she looked over at Jamie on the couch.

"Truck would have been less painful." Jamie said weakly.

"Thanks for coming partner." Danny said sincerely.

"That's what partners are for right? Just what the hell have you gotten me into now?" Baez asked with a smirk and Danny knew she would go through anything for him or his family just like he would for her. Baez had been through a lot in her life and the one person she had been able to count on in her whole life was Danny. He never disappointed her or let her down. He never left her to deal with things on her own and he was there if she needed help fighting her battles. She would go through hell and back for him.

"Not me this one is all on Jamie." Danny said.

"Oh well that's okay then. With you I can expect something insane. With Jamie I can expect something normal. He doesn't go around looking for trouble unlike his older brother." Baez smirked.

"Oh trust me there will be a new king for that." Danny said with a smirk.

"Doubt it, you've done some crazy things." Jamie said.

"Ya and you toped it trust me kid. I'm never going to be able to top this. You are the new king wear the crown proudly."

"That can't be good." Renzulli said clearly not happy about the situation.

"So what is going on? All you said was that there was an emergency." Baez asked Danny.

"Everything will be explained when everyone else arrives." Frank said.

"Who else is missing?" Renzulli asked.

"Erin, Detective McBride, Deputy Commissioner Moore, Detective Baker and Sargent Gormley." Frank answered.

"That's a lot of fire power." Baez said as it was starting to sink in just how serious this situation truly was.

"It's necessary trust me partner." Danny said in a serious voice.

Nothing else could be said as they heard the door opening and the sound of Erin's voice filling the house.

"Dad!"

"In here Sweetie!" Frank called back.

Erin and McBride came around the corner and it was clear that she had been worried. All Erin knew was that Jamie had gotten hurt and that she needed to come over with McBride. She had been worried ever since and as she walked into the living room and saw Jamie on the couch with the house full of people she was instantly worried even more.

"Oh my God Jamie." Erin said as she went over to the couch to get a better look at Jamie.

"I'm okay Sis." Jamie said trying to sound comforting, but it was hard when everything hurt.

"You are not ok. What the hell happened?" Erin asked with anger.

"Long story." Jamie said weakly.

"I've got the time." Erin said clearly not happy about the answer.

"Detective McBride, I appreciate you coming here tonight." Frank said ignoring what Erin had just said.

"Always happy to help Commissioner." McBride said.

"Don't change the subject. What is going on? Erin said angrily.

"I'll explain everything later just be patient." Frank said in a serious voice that Erin knew she wasn't going to win against.

"Why isn't he in a hospital right now? And what is with the beard and the hair color?" Erin asked instead.

"He will be going to a hospital once a few things are taken care of." Frank said.

"Dad." Jamie started, but Frank cut him off.

"That is non-negotiable Jamie. I'll make sure everything is covered so you don't get found out, but you will be there to get the tests you need and to make sure you are safe to recover here." Frank said in a commanding tone, one that Jamie knew he wouldn't be able to argue against.

There was a knock at the door and Henry went once again to open it. There stood Garret, Baker and Gormley. They all lived in the same area of each other so it didn't take them very long to arrive.

"Hello Henry." Garret said as Henry held the door open for them to come in.

"Hello Garret, Baker, Gormley. The party is in the living room." Henry said.

They all headed into the living room to see that it was a full house. They also noticed Jamie on the couch.

"What happened?" Garret asked with concern as he looked at Frank.

"Long story. I appreciate you three coming." Frank said.

"It's not often you get a call in the middle of the night for you Sir. Figured something horrible has or is about to happen." Gormley said.

"Bit of both this time around Sarge." Danny said with a smirk.

"It always happens with you Reagan. I should have expected this had something to do with you." Gormley said with a smirk.

"This one was all me." Jamie said weakly.

"Obviously this has something to do with what happened two months ago." Garret said to Frank.

"It does." Frank simple said.

"What happened two months ago?" Erin asked confused.

"Part of the long story." Danny said.

"Ok, when do we get to hear the long story?" Renzulli asked.

"Once Agent Richards is ready." Frank answered.

"Agent? Agent with who? And why are we waiting for an Agent?" Erin asked.

"He works for the F.B.I. and he is a part of the situation." Frank said.

Agent Richards walked into the room with an arm full of folders. He spoke as he handed one out to everyone in the room.

"I'm Agent Richards. I am sure most of you have a lot of questions about what is going on right now. I promise I will do my best to answer those questions. This is a full debrief on the situation. I also have a print out of all of the data that Jamie was able to collect." Agent Richards said as he handed that information to Frank as he had one printed off for himself as well.

"From whatever Jamie was doing in D.C?" Erin asked.

"You or me?" Agent Richards asked Frank.

"You started this so you might as well give the full debrief." Frank said calmly.

"I had requested Jamie to do an operation for me. He went undercover for the F.B.I. and the position in D.C was his cover for his family and work." Agent Richards said before he paused to allow the others to question him or speak up.

"You went undercover again without telling me Kid?" Renzulli asked annoyed.

"Sorry Sarge. This time really wasn't allowed to tell anyone." Jamie said weakly.

"He wasn't. Before he was even given any information he had to sign a non-disclosure contract that if he did talk he could be prosecuted." Agent Richards said.

"Clearly didn't stop him from telling you Francis." Henry said angry that he was kept out of the loop.

"He only told me the basics. Even I don't know everything Pop."

"You could still have told me my Grandson was undercover for the F.B.I. and not safe up in some snooty position in D.C." Henry argued back.

"Come on Gramps it wasn't his place to tell." Danny said in his father's defence.

"Says the one who also knew about it." Henry said back.

"Wait you knew before tonight?" Erin asked angrily.

"I didn't find out until two months ago and I wasn't told anything. I don't even know who he is after." Danny said.

"How did you find out about it?" Renzulli asked.

"Jamie got shot in the left shoulder and he came by the house so I could remove the bullet. I told Danny about it and he told Frank." Linda said.

"You got shot?" Eddie asked with hurt.

"I'm fine." Jamie said as he put his hand onto her thigh.

"Ya clearly you are the picture of health right now." Erin said.

"I mean no disrespect here, but who was he after?" Baez asked.

"Everything we have on the target is in the file, including the operation tree. There were two targets, the first was Ivan Khovac. Jamie was to get close to him and he would then lead Jamie up into the organization to reach our primary target, Isaac Sidorov. The organization was a human trafficking ring with a side of drug trafficking." Agent Richards said.

"Wait human trafficking? That's who you've been going after?" Garret said shocked.

"Not just any human trafficking ring, but the largest in the world. According to the numbers from the data that Jamie collected there are currently half a million girls being sold against their wishes all around the world." Agent Richards said.

"Oh my God." Erin said.

"That's huge." Gormley said shocked himself.

"That doesn't include the girls that have been killed in the past ten years either." Jamie said sadly.

"How were they getting the girls?" McBride asked.

"Kidnapping and murder. All are there against their wishes and all are being sold out against their wishes as well. This isn't the normal human trafficking organization though, because they not only went Global they also went into every area of human trafficking." Agent Richards said.

"What are those areas?" Baker asked.

"The traditional one, they kidnap underage girls some as young as eight and they sell them to local pimps all around the world. Then there are special brothels that they setup in a rural area and men pay to sleep with the girls. Some could be sold to strip clubs to strip or work as prostitutes out of the club. Some are sold to individual males as their own personal slave. Lastly and most disturbing, some are sold to pregnancy farms." Agent Richards said.

"What the hell is that?" Baez asked.

"Exactly how it sounds. Girls as young at thirteen, once they are able to get pregnant are placed in these small cells and men pay to sleep with them to get them pregnant. They are normally given special treatments to increase the chances of fertility. The girls then give birth and if that man wants the child he can pay to have it. If he does not want the child then the child is sold on the black market to anyone that pays the most. Some of those people could be desperate parents looking for a child, child molesters, serial killers, other human traffickers, you name it if they bid the highest then they get the child." Agent Richards said calmly.

"Oh my God. And this happens in the States?" Linda asked disgusted.

"It happens not even three hours from here." Agent Richards said.

"Why do I not know about this?" Frank asked with anger.

"Because it was a part of a federal investigation and with all your respect Commissioner, there are a great deal of horrific crimes being committed that you will never hear about. This is happening all throughout the country and the world. It's why we wanted to shut them down. Not only us but every other agency in the world." Agent Richards said.

"So why hasn't any succeeded?" Renzulli asked.

"A hundred undercover Agents in the past had gone undercover for this organization. All had been tortured, mutilated and killed within the first two months. Their bodies were left on the Agency's doorstep that they belonged to. It has been going on for ten years and each time a new Agent was killed the file became more and more classified. Now it is at Presidential level and only a handful of people in the world have access to it. The only people who knew about Jamie even being undercover was myself and his two handlers Agent Pierce and Agent Spencer. Other than that no one else knew. I wanted to give Jamie to best chance that he could have. He's done remarkably well and he was able to attain the information that we needed to shut down the organization." Agent Richards said.

"What is Isaac Sidorov's story?" Garret asked.

"He was third in line for the head of the Russian Mob thirty years ago roughly. They kicked him out because he was too unstable for them." Agent Richards started.

"Well that's not good." Gormley said.

"It wasn't. He went off on his own and took others that were exiled from the mob and he started his own organization. He used the drug trafficking to get his human trafficking ring up and running. Now he's trying to take over the States." Agent Richards said.

"Ok, but if you have the data for everything then why not go and make the arrests?" Erin asked.

"Because if we do that then the girls will be killed in other states. We need a way to make the arrests, but also keep as many girls alive as we can worldwide." Agent Richards said.

"Well what happened tonight? Why is my Officer severely injured?" Renzulli asked.

"I was made by one of my handlers. I went to their safe house and I cuffed them together and locked them into a closet. I then took the cameras and mics from my safe house and went to the target's house. He was in the pool so I snuck the cameras and mics around the house and then copied his hard drive to get the data that we needed. I went to leave, but I got caught. I was able to run out and I almost got to my car that was down the street, but his two enforcers caught me. They are dead and at the bottom of the lake. I then came here." Jamie explained.

"You shouldn't have risked your life like that. You knew you were made then you should have just come straight here." Erin lectured.

"I wasn't going to leave those girls to be killed. It's too many lives Erin." Jamie said weakly.

"Jamie made his choice and we will support him on that choice." Frank said.

"So now what? You said we couldn't make the arrests without getting the girls killed. So how do we get these bastards?" Gormley asked.

"That's what you all are here for. There are twenty-eight locations within the States and another forty over in Europe. Jamie suggested that we hit them all at the same time. That way no one can make the call to another location about the bust." Agent Richards said.

"You want to pull off sixty-eight busts all at the same time all over the world?" Garret asked shocked.

"Unless someone comes up with a better idea then yes that is what I'm saying we do. We also only have seventy-two hours to pull this off or Sidorov is going to know that Jamie is not dead and he will kill the girls." Agent Richards said.

"Why only seventy-two?" Gormley asked.

"Because Sidorov has his men torture the Agents for seventy-two hours and they don't contract Sidorov during that time. Once those seventy-two hours are up his men are due back and if they don't come back then Sidorov will know something is wrong." Agent Richards answered.

"Ok so we have seventy-two hours to try and save as many girls as possible without getting them all killed." Baez said.

"There has got to be a way to coordinate an attack all around the world. It's not going to be easy, but there must be a way." McBride said.

"There's politics, policies, procedures, not to mention the endless laws that it would take to even be able to get through all of the red tape. Not to mention you run the risk of informing the wrong person and this gets blown up in our faces. It's a logistic nightmare." Garret said.

"Garret, you are one of the smartest people I know. If anyone can figure out the logistics it's you. I need you to get on board with this, because it's the only option we have to save as many lives as we can." Frank said.

Garret was quite for a moment before he spoke.

"Do you have any art paper? The stuff that comes on rolls from the kids?"

"Ya we have that. The kids use it all the time on Sundays." Henry asked.

"We're going to need some." Garret said.

"I'll grab it and some markers." Erin said.

"What are you thinking?" Danny asked.

"I'm thinking we are going to need to write this down." Garret asked.

"Can we trust the local state police to complete the busts?" Baker asked.

"There is a list of all of the dirty Agents and police officers by each state. Sidorov is completely anal he wrote everything down all organized by states and country." Agent Richards said.

"Ok well if we can't trust the local police to run the bust can we do it somehow?" Eddie asked.

"What just use all NYPD?" Baez asked.

"Not just all NYPD, but Agents that can be trusted. I was thinking the same thing." Jamie said.

Erin walked back into the room with a long sheet of art paper and some markers. Garret took the paper and he used the tape to tape it to the wall and he took the markers.

"Can we do that?" Baez asked.

"Do what?" Erin asked.

"Eddie and Jamie were thinking to use NYPD and Agents to go to the busts." Linda explained.

"As for being able to do that, I don't know. " Frank said.

"It would make things easier, though there is more logistics to figure out, but it would make the red tape easier. It cuts it down by over half of the legalities." Garret said.

"Really?" Danny asked.

"There are federal laws that make it so other local law enforcement can go into another State to help with a federal investigation. It only requires forty-eight hours of notice given to the Police Commissioner." Erin explained.

"But I could get us around that legality because of the classification of this investigation. If we use our own men then we could go in without a problem. I have a few hundred Agents I can trust with this. How many officers can you trust?" Agent Richards asked.

"Thousands of them. All of which will do the right thing and help free these girls." Frank said.

"We can't just empty the city and leave it without any police." Henry said.

"Not empty, just what we need and not anymore. I have three hundred. I have sixty Agents that I can trust and know they can handle to lead the busts. Do you have eight officers that you would trust to handle the lead?" Agent Richards asked.

"I can make up for the other eight that we will need. I would prefer to keep them within the country." Frank said.

"That's fine I can have my Agents go overseas. They would be able to work with the field offices over there." Agent Richards said.

"Ok so we use our own men and divide them up based on the numbers at each location. Frank how many are in the first state? Let's do this state by state." Garret said.

"New York has a brothel with two hundred girls and a pregnancy farm with three hundred girls. Then there are also over a thousand that have been sold to local pimps and gangs that will take longer for us to collect everyone." Frank answered as he read it off the folder he was given.

"How do we handle the pimps and gangs?" Eddie asked.

"The names of each person who bought a girl or a baby are written down. We start collecting them and we don't stop until we have every single one." Frank said.

"So two locations in New York that need to be hit at the same time. Who's going to be doing the lead?" Baker asked.

"Sargent Renzulli, you take the brothel and Sargent Gormley you will take the pregnancy farm. Remember these women will be afraid and some might not be able to speak English. We need to arrest the suspects and save as many women as we can. We will then have to try and locate family or foster homes for those that are too young and have no family." Frank said.

"What do we do with the ones from other states?" Henry asked.

"That's where it is going to get complicated. Any arrests that NYPD makes will be under Federal investigation. So all suspects will have to come back to New York and be processed and placed in jail until their trail date. They will be prosecuted by the state of New York. As for the victims they could stay local, but I would prefer for them to come back as well so we can ensure we find their family or a safe place for them to be." Agent Richards said.

"Where are we going to keep half a million people though?" Erin asked.

"There are federal apartments that are vacant for the purpose of this. Not all will arrive at the same time and we have their names from the records. We can start to see if we can find any family before they arrive back. Those that don't have family we can keep them in the apartments until we can place them in a half-way house or a foster home depending on their age." Agent Richards said.

"How are we going to travel that many people around?" Eddie asked.

"We'll have to get them on planes." Gormley said.

"We can't have that many victims waiting in an airport nor criminals." Baker said.

"I got some army buddies still. What if we used the cargo planes? We could put in dividers to keep the criminals on one side and the victims on the other." Danny suggested.

"That could work. We could also use it to have nurses or army doctors to help the victims that are injured to get them back here to the hospital." Garret said.

"We could then use school buses to transport the victims to the hospital. We could color code it like they do for trauma." Gormley added.

"I like it. Now we're getting somewhere. We can use the army planes to transport the Agents and Officers to the locations. The locations are all in rural areas we can get a satellite image so the pilot can organize where to land." Agent Richards said.

"We can also have vehicles on the planes to transport our people the rest of the way." Frank said.

"I'll make the calls and see what they can give us." Danny said.

"I can work on the paperwork for everything we will need." Erin said.

"What about the two targets? They won't be at any of the locations I would imagine." Garret said.

"Detective McBride, you will take a squad from the twelve with you to arrest Ivan Khovac when it is time. Danny, Detective Baez and Detective Baker will come with me to arrest Isaac Sidorov." Frank said.

"Dad you can't be going to arrest this guy." Jamie said.

"I will be just fine. Plus my detail will be with us." Frank said.

"I will go with Detective McBride then to arrest Ivan Khovac." Agent Richards said.

"Where do you want me Sir?" Eddie asked.

"When the day comes I want you at the airstrip helping to get everyone organized and the victims into the right bus. Garret you will be there as well. Linda if you wouldn't mind being there to help with triage and making sure the planes have everything they need that would be appreciated. Erin and Pop if you want to be there to help as well you can." Frank answered.

"I can help with the busts or arrest one of the targets." Eddie said.

"I know you could, but I want you close to their area just in case. At the airstrip you will only be ten minutes away from here if someone comes here for Jamie. Sargent Renzulli, I also want a squad stationed here at all times until we make the arrests." Frank said.

"You got it Sir. I can have one put together and brought down here." Renzulli said.

"We have New York covered, let's move on to the other states." Agent Richards said.

They spent the next two hours going over each state and each country to see just how many Agents and NYPD personnel that they would need for a bust of this size. Once that was taken care of Frank spoke.

"I want a briefing with every officer that will be involved in these busts. I want it to be the morning of the bust so there is no chance of anyone releasing the information. We tell them that morning, we take their phones and then we take them to the airstrip right afterwards. I want the men that are on Sidorov's payroll to be buried somewhere for the day. Sargent Gormley that will be your job. Find them something to do, put them somewhere I don't care. I just don't want them anywhere around the airstrip." Frank said.

"The archives could always use a cleaning out. I can ship some out to prison duty too. Then we have the cold cases that always need refiling." Gormley said with a smirk.

"Don't forget traffic duty." Danny said with a smirk.

"That's right. Plenty of places to stick these guys." Gormley said.

"Garret, I want you to work as a liaison for the army and make sure everything is covered. Work with St. Peter's hospital to get any supplies you need. Also I would like you to set this debrief together for when the times comes." Frank said.

"I live to organize." Garret said.

"I can help you with the hospital. The Chief is very nice and he can make sure we are ready for the flood to come in." Linda said.

"I appreciate it." Garret said.

"Erin, make sure you get all the papers in order. I don't want to do this only to find out he gets off on a technicality." Frank said.

"I'll get started right away and go through a judge that I know won't be on any list." Erin said.

"Danny, get in contact with your old Army buddies and get them in the loop. We will need a lot of planes. Afterwards I want you to start trying to find some of these victim's family. We need to work on finding as many as we can." Frank said.

"You got it." Danny said.

"I'll help go through the names as well." Baez said.

"Detective McBride if you wouldn't mind trying to find some as well." Frank said.

"Not a problem. We can divide it up by state." McBride suggested.

"Works for me." Danny agreed.

"Detective Baker, I want you to go through the list of the babies that were sold and see how many you can track down." Frank said.

"Yes Sir." Baker said.

"I will have my Agents working on securing the apartment buildings that we have. When are we going to make the busts?" Agent Richards asked.

"Today counts as day one so on the morning of the third day we need to be mobilized. I want to have everyone debriefed at oh-six hundred and in the air by oh-eight hundred." Frank said.

"So we have two full days to pull this off." Danny said.

"We have a lot of work and I suggest we get started." Frank said.

"I'll head back to the station and get that squad put together. Then fax me a list and I can work on locating some family." Renzulli said.

"You got it Sarge." Danny said.

"Jamie, you are going to the hospital. My detail should be here by now." Frank said.

"How long will he be at the hospital for?" Erin asked.

"At least six hours, as long as there isn't anything seriously wrong with him." Linda answered.

"Eddie, you should go and help find some family for the girls." Jamie said.

"No I'm going to the hospital with you." Eddie said.

"Eddie I'm fine. These girls need help you could find a family member for them. That's really important. I'm fine it's just for some tests. Once I'm back here I'll call you and you can come back." Jamie said.

"Are you sure?" Eddie asked clearly not comfortable with leaving him alone.

"I promise."

"Ok"

"It's only for some tests Eddie. When he is back here I will call you myself and you can come back and take care of him." Frank said.

"Ok, I'll take a state and see what I can do." Eddie said.

"Alright, well I'll go with you and then I can speak to the Chief and get things started." Linda said.

"We'll head into the office and start working on our tasks." Erin said as she nodded to McBride.

"If it's alright with you I think I'll stay here and keep working on organizing everything." Garret said.

"That's fine." Frank said.

"I'll stay with you and help you out if I can." Henry said.

"I appreciate that." Garret said back.

"We all have our jobs. Let's be smart and get this done." Agent Richards said.

They all put themselves into motion. Frank and Danny helped to get Jamie up and out into the SUV waiting for them with Frank's detail in it. Linda took the car and Danny went with Baez in hers. They all filed out of the house leaving only Garret and Henry to hold down the fort and start working out the logistics of what they were about to attempt to do. Everything had happened all of a sudden and now that they were all on the same page they could all pull their intelligence and experience together to make sure that everything Jamie went through wasn't for nothing. They were going to take down this organization and save as many girls as they could, even if it was the last thing any of them ever did
