The perp didn't have a strong argument with his mug plastered over all the pictures. Once they got the warrant to search his apartment, Danny was sure they'd find the physical evidence of the robberies. Sometimes cases were just that easy.
But as easy as this case was, Danny still felt his head swarming with Jamie's angry words. Maybe he'd just bump out early and head home. Linda could always sort through his head better than he could anyways. Maybe he could catch her before she went out with Erin.
He headed back for his desk when Lieutenant Hayes called out for him. "Reagan, let me borrow you for a minute."
Danny looked at Jackie who shrugged her shoulders before he followed the older man into the office. Liking the guy enough, Danny hadn't minded him being over the unit while Gormley was out on sick leave for some knee surgery or something another. He probably should get Linda to send the guy a card. He did put up with a lot from Danny over the year.
"Guy confessed, Lieutenant. We'll search his apartment and get it all squared away. Might be an early night for all of us." Danny said.
"Shut the door" was the Lieutenant's response.
Danny didn't like the feeling churning in his gut, but he did as he was told. "What's up?"
The silver-haired man sat behind Gormley's desk. "About what happened today with your brother." Danny's hair bristled on his neck. Warning signs going up. But he remained stoic standing in front of the desk. "There ain't gonna be anything official about that."
Releasing a held breath, Danny pursed his lips. "Thanks, Lieutenant. I'm sorry it came up here. I'll get it all straightened out with the kid."
Hayes put his hand up silencing the detective. "Good to hear, but I should let you know that the PC has requested you come up to 14th floor."
Danny felt as if he'd been gut checked. The PC? As is Police Commissioner Frank Reagan? Also known as his father? Wanted to see Danny in his office.
Attempting to maintain control of his bodily functions, Danny pulled himself together with a curt nod. "Alright. He hear about all this?"
Lieutenant Hayes felt bad for the kid. Having the PC as your father would be a challenge for anyone, but having Frank Reagan as your PC and your father could not be easy for the Pope. "'Fraid so."
Danny didn't ask anymore questions. Just thanked the Lieutenant and headed back out the way he came.
"What's up with you?" Jackie asked as she noticed Danny's color had dropped a few shades.
Try as he might to sound nonchalant, he failed miserably. "The PC requested my presence at 1PP."
Jackie's face was priceless as it screwed up in a twisted, sour lemon pucker. "Ouch."
Danny didn't acknowledge his partner's comment. Grabbing his jacket and keys to his car, he made his way for the stairs.
"Guess I'll handle things here for ya!" Jackie shouted to his retreating back.
