"Coming!" Eddie shouted before yelping as she stubbed her bare toe on the doorjamb.
"Ow, shit," she muttered, glaring at the door. Eddie grumbled and rubbed a hand through her bed head. Who the hell was at the door?
She yanked open the door to her's and Jamie's apartment, revealing Danny Reagan leaning against the doorframe, two tickets in between his fingers.
"Hey Eddie. I wake you?" He grinned.
Eddie smirked, "Yeah! I have a week of medical leave thanks to this," she gingerly lifted the arm that was in a sling due to a shoulder injury, "I'm milking my sleep time for all it's worth."
She stepped aside so Danny could come in, "You want something to drink?"
Danny shook his head, "Nah. I came to see if you wanted to come to the Yankee game with me. They're playing the Sox."
Eddie's eyes lit up, "Are you serious? How'd you get those?"
Danny grinned, "Called in a favor. Do you wanna come or not?"
"What about the boys?" Eddie asked, "Don't they want to go?"
"Sure they do. Too bad they're camping for the weekend with Dad and Pops," Danny laughed.
"In that case, I'm definitely coming!" Eddie laughed, "Give me a minute to get ready."
Danny reclined on the couch, "Take your time. We have like two hours."
Eddie checked the time on the cable box. 12:00.
"Are we driving or taking the subway?" Eddie asked even as she was dashing into the bedroom to change.
"Subway," Danny said, rooting around in the fridge to see what kind of food Jamie and Eddie had laying around.
"Great," Eddie's voice was muffled as she changed. As she pulled on her shirt, she twinged her shoulder.
"Ah, fuck," she muttered.
"You okay?" Danny called.
"Yeah," Eddie said, reentering the living room dressed in jeans, Converse, a Yankees t-shirt, and a Yankees ball cap, "Ready."
"Jeez," Danny laughed, "Tell Linda your secrets for getting ready so quickly."
Eddie grinned, "I'll try."
Eddie quickly locked the apartment door behind them and followed Danny out to the sidewalk.
"Are you fucking kiddin' me?" Danny shouted, "That was safe!"
Eddie raised her beer in agreement.
"What the fuck are they doing out there?" Eddie groaned, looking at the score, "2 nothing. I bet these umps are from Boston."
She dropped, grumpily, back into her seat. Danny followed suit.
"These guys better pick it up," He shook his head, "Opening day is looking like shit so far."
Eddie nodded her agreement, "I still can't believe you managed to get opening day tickets."
"Perks of being a grade A detective," Danny laughed.
"Man, I can't wait until I'm a detective," Eddie said, "It's gotta be better than working the beat."
Danny shrugged, his eyes still on the field, "It's got its moments."
Eddie nodded, not entirely are what to say. Part of her wanted to grill Danny about what it was like being a detective since she wanted to be one too. But the more insecure part of her was worried she wouldn't have what it took.
"You'd actually be good at it," Danny said offhandedly, "I've seen you at crime scenes. You've got good instincts."
And in the next instant he was on his feet, shouting obscenities at the ump, completely unaware of the effect his words had on Eddie.
She smiled at Danny's back, determined to be a detective one-day.
"Did you see that?" Danny asked her, gesturing to the field, "It's like they want us to lose!"
"We still have time to turn it around," Eddie said, pushing aside her thoughts in order to spend the rest of the game in the moment.
The Yankees won 5 to 4 and Eddie felt like she actually belonged to this cop family.
A/N: And Danny's installment is up! I had fun writing this one. I would love to see Danny interact with Eddie and Jamie more on the show. Maybe in future episodes. Speaking of, I haven't watched last week's yet, but I will have by Thursday, so if you want to come and chat with me then, feel free to!
Linda's up next! If you have any ideas of how you want to see her and Eddie bond, send them my way :D
