December 23, 9:00 - Tommy

Jane found herself standing in a tiny freezing apartment. She glanced at Michael "Where are we?"

"We are in your brother's apartment, his heat went out a few days ago, but he refuses to ask for help from anybody. He wants to prove to your family he can make it on his own. Mostly you." Michael replied.

"This is Tommy's place its freezing in here. He can't live like this." Jane exclaimed. Jane knew that this was Tommy's first apartment so getting him to move in with herself or Frankie or even their ma would be a hard thing. Tommy wanted to be independent.

Tommy walked out of the tiny bedroom and made his way over to the sick he carefully filled a cup with warm water and made himself an instant coffee. With no microwave it was the best he could do he would didn't want to ask for help.

Tommy sat on the old sofa that in Jane's eyes looked broke and started putting his boots on for work. Tommy wanted nothing more in the world then to show his family that he was on the straight and narrow now. He had a good job and has not has a drink in a over a month and to prove that to Jane he was going to give her his one month chip he received from going to AA. He really couldn't afford gifts. This year and everyone understood that, but it made Tommy's heart sad.

Jane watched as her baby brother walked around his tiny cold apartment before walking out the door to go work his crappy job for the day. Jane knew she had to help Tommy, but knowing him he wouldn't take any kind of help he was offered from family anyway.

As soon as he walked into the door of the factory his supervisor was yelling at him for being a few minutes late. Tommy just stood there and listened not saying a word. He wanted to keep his job so he didn't need to be mouthing off to his supervisor. Jane on the other hand was getting pissed off. She looked at Michael who seemed to not paying attention to what was happening. Finally after calling him a lazy bum and telling him he would have to work later for half the pay, the man let Tommy get to work. For the first time all day Jane wished she could hit the guy, she walked away watching her brother work.

Watching Tommy stacking boxing was a little boring, But Jane watched anyway when the bell rang signally lunch Tommy kept working Jane then realized that Tommy hadn't brought anything to eat. She couldn't help but wonder how many times this had happened. She knew Tommy was having money problems but she didn't know it was this bad that he was skipping meals

Shaking her head she sat on a large crate with Michael just watching Tommy work. When this was over if she was living she made herself a promise that she would help her baby brother. No matter what it took she would help him.

December 23, 2:46 - Tommy

Tommy's cell phone went off just as his supervisor was walking toward, Not giving a crap when he checked the caller id it was his mom. Something told Tommy he needed to answer that phone call. "Ma, I'm at work I can only talk for a moment what's going on?" Tommy asked.

While his supervisor glared and yelled. "No personal calls while your working Rizzoli."
Tommy stuck his hand up trying to tell to be quite.

"Tommy Jane's been shot we are heading toward Boston General is there any way you can get there it's bad." Angela said between sobs. Jane watched as Tommy's face paled. Turning to Michael he again only said "Keep watching, Jane. I keep trying to tell you that your family and friends would do anything for you."

"I'm on my way ma, don't worry Jane's strong she'll make it through this. I love you see you as soon as possible." Tommy hung up the phone. Tommy had tears in his eyes he needed to get to his sister he had to tell her that he was doing better. He had to.

Turning toward his supervisor. "I have to go my sister was shot in the line of duty."

"Sorry Rizzoli, your needed I can't allow you to leave." His supervisor smiled which just ticked Tommy off more.

"I can lose my sister and your not going to allow me to leave?" Tommy shouted starting to lose his temper.

"No, Rizzoli your here and you are to finish out your shift." The man said.

"No that's where your wrong I am leaving my family comes first." Tommy said as he started walking toward the first exit.

"If you walk out that door Rizzoli your fired. There is no coming back." The supervisor yelled.

Tommy turned around right before walking out the door. "Well then it looks like I am fired doesn't it." Those were Tommy's last words before he exited the building. He had just lost his job but his sister was more important.

Jane follow Tommy all the way to the hospital where he met up with the rest of her family. She looked at Michael.

"Tommy just gave up one of the best jobs he has ever had for me. Why would he do that?" Jane asked Michael.

"No matter what you are his only sister." Michael said pointing at the group of people standing outside her hospital room. "Anyone of those people who do anything for you Jane you know why? Because Jane each and everyone of them love you in his or her own way."

"Am I done yet?" Jane asked softly feeling awful that Tommy just lost his job because of her.

"No, Jane you have two more people to see." Michael said "Shall we go to the next one?" Michael held his hand out for her to take.
