Again, sorry for the delay! My professor told us to write a seven page paper, then in class on Thursday he decided that seven wasn't enough and changed it to twelve! YAY! not. On a lighter note, I did finish my other papers :)
Regardless, enjoy this chapter! This one is probably my favorite! Thanks again for reading and please review!
"I can't find any Jimmys in connection to this guy! Who the hell is Jimmy?" Danny Reagan yelled at his computer.
Jackie hung up her cell phone and said, "That was the hospital, Cappezari guy didn't make it."
They had nothing. Jamie's phone was found at the warehouse, but both men in the warehouse are now dead. No leads. Danny banged his dead against his desk. Come on kid, where are you? Does this Jimmy know where you are?
Just then a cop burst through the doors of the precinct yelling for Danny Reagan. Danny jumped up and ran over to him.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Panting the man responded, "My name's Atwater, Officer Atwater. I was working with your brother undercover at the bar."
"And?"
"His name was Jimmy. He used the name Jimmy undercover," replied Atwater.
Time stopped. They have Jimmy. The words floated back to his mind.
Jackie knew what this meant. She turned to steady her partner.
"Oh my god, Jack. The Cappezari family has Jamie. They're gonna kill him, Jack," Danny said voice cracking.
"I don't know what your problem is! You were telling the cops about me so you like to tell stories. Just tell me where this Reagan cop is and we'll move on happily!"
Jamie remained quiet.
"Fine you want to do this the hard way?"
The rich man took out a crowbar. With all his might, he hit Jamie on the chest, on his stab wound, all over his body. Back arching with every hit, Jamie cried out, but still did not tell the man what he wanted to know.
Knowing that no one for looking for him gave Jamie no will to survive. He allowed himself to succumb to the darkness that soon clouded his vision.
"Danny, I got something!" Jackie yelled across the room to her partner.
"The warehouse where we found Jamie's phone was registered to a Vinny D'Orazio, probably a front for the Cappezaris. I searched the city and there's another property, another abandoned warehouse under the same name."
"Let's go!" replied Danny running out the door with his partner.
SPLASH!
Jamie Reagan was forced out of unconsciousness with another bucket of cold water.
"Don't think you'll get away that easily. You will tell me what I want to know, or die a very long and painful death," threatened the man.
Jamie couldn't bear any more pain. His side was on fire. His ribs were probably broken, making it difficult to breathe. He just wanted it to stop, everyone thought he was dead anyway.
"Okay. Fine. I'll tell you where he is," Jamie conceded.
"Now, was that so hard, Jimmy?" taunted the rich man.
"On one condition."
"Oh this'll be good," laughed Jamie's captor.
"Let's be real here, you're going to kill me even if I tell you. Can I at least call my family to say goodbye?"
He had no idea why, but this plea struck the rich man. Jimmy knew he was going to die and he accepted it. That's honorable. Not knowing why, the rich man accepted the deal.
He untied his victim and placed a gun to his head.
"You try any funny business, I'll blow your brains out here and let your family listen," he threatened.
Jamie dialed his brother's number, unsure of what to say, how to say goodbye.
"Reagan."
"Danny?"
Danny almost crashed his car.
"Jamie? Where are you? Are you hurt? Are you okay? Where are you?"
"I just wanted to tell you that I always looked up to you. You're my big brother, and I always wanted to be exactly like you."
"Jamie, what are you talking about? I'm coming to get you, where are you?"
Jamie knew he couldn't tell his brother where he was. He had no idea that Danny Reagan was five minutes away from where he was.
"It's gonna be too late to ever see you again, but tell Erin and Dad and Pop I love them. Don't worry about me, don't be sad. I'm happy to sacrifice."
The rich man signaled that his time was running out.
"I don't have much more time, but I'll see you again, someday right?" Jamie laughed uncomfortably.
"Jamie, listen to me, I'm coming for you, okay? Don't give up. You're my kid brother, you're going to fine. You hear me? Jamie? JAMIE!"
The phone connection had already been cut. Tears pooling his eyes, they arrived at their destination. SWAT already surrounding the building, Danny ran to the front.
"I'm leading this! Follow my lead. My brother's in there and he needs to come out alive, you understand" Danny called to the team.
"Sir, not everyone's here. We can't go in, we're not set up! SIR!" called out one of the SWAT members.
Ignoring his warning, Danny said, "On my count 1…2…"
Before Danny got to 3, he heard two gunshots in rapid succession. Panicking, he led the charge in. The sight before him made his stomach turn over. His baby brother on the floor with two gunshots in his chest, with the head of the Cappezari crime family standing over him.
Swiftly, SWAT took Cappezari out and Danny ran over to his brother.
"Jamie? Jamie?" Danny tried to put pressure on his wounds in his chest and stomach. His brother's blood soon covered his hands and began pooling on the ground.
"WE NEED A BUS IN HERE! WHERE'S EMS?"
Jamie started to come round, "Danny?"
"Hey kid, listen I'm here, we're gonna get you to a hospital, okay? WHERE'S EMS? I NEED A MEDIC!" Danny's voice changing from soft to demanding.
"I'm sorry Danny. Tell Dad I'm sorry and goodbye..." and with that, Jamie's eyes rolled back into his head, body going limp.
I'm an awful person..hehe. I already have the next chapter started so it shouldn't be too long! Thanks for reading and please review!
