Danny walked in to the bar and moved towards the bored bartender, "Hey," Danny placed his badge on the bar while Jackie flashed hers behind him. "I was here last night with this other guy. He went missing in your parking lot. I noticed you have a camera facing that direction, mind if we take a look at the footage?"
The bartender looked wary, "I already had a couple of detectives in here asking about it, they didn't see much that was useful."
Danny sighed, "Look, the guy that went missing, he's a cop but he's also my kid brother. I just want to find him, so can you let me see the tapes."
The bartender looked sympathetic, "Yeah sure. I got a little brother too; if he went missing I'd be doing the same thing." The bartender led them to a back room and pulled up the footage from the night before, "Just let me know when you are done. I hope you find your brother." The bartender left, closing the door behind him.
Jackie sat down in one of the chairs, "Let's see what we can find."
Danny sat in the second chair as Jackie pressed play, the screen came to life, showing a shadowy image of Jamie waving and walking off to his car. Danny clenched his teeth as he watched a man run at Jamie from behind and tackle him to the ground. Danny smiled when Jamie kicked him but the smile vanished when the man grabbed Jamie by the neck. After a brief struggle Danny saw Jamie get in a good punch across the guy's jaw. The guy moved away for a moment before charging at Jamie and pushing him in to the shadows.
Danny scowled, "Can we see anything else?" Jackie fast forwarded but nothing moved out of the shadows. Danny cursed, "Is there any way we can lighten the video? We need to see what happened."
Jackie smiled, "Lucky for you, I know how to work this particular system." Danny raised a questioning eyebrow and Jackie shrugged, "Part time gig when I was on patrol to earn a little extra money. It's a long story." Danny smiled as his partner tweaked a few things on the video, the screen changed and the view of the shadowed area became brighter.
Danny's eyes narrowed in anger as he saw the man had Jamie pinned to the wall. They saw the man's body language change as he looked down at what Danny assumed was Jamie's wallet. The man leaned in close and Danny growled, causing Jackie to jump, as the man's hands wandered over Jamie. Danny was about ready to burst when he saw the man hit Jamie with his own gun, allowing him to slump down to the ground before easily picking up the young officer and throwing him over his shoulder and leaving the camera's view.
Jackie stopped the video, "Danny you need to calm down." Danny shot her a murderous glare in reply. She stood up tall, "Reagan, if you don't calm down you won't be of any use. This is exactly why they can't put you on the case officially. Now, do you want me to continue this investigation without you or are you going to calm down?"
Danny scowled before sighing in defeat, "Yeah, I'll calm down. Sorry Jackie, it's just, you saw the way that guy was with Jamie."
Jackie nodded, "Yeah, and I noticed his attitude changed after he saw Jamie's wallet. The guy probably saw his shield and realized Jamie was a cop."
Danny frowned, "Yeah but taking a cop is risky and that was the guy's first reaction. He could have killed Jamie right there but instead he took him, why?"
Jackie frowned, her partner had a point, "Maybe the guy has a record."
Danny shook his head, "Nah, anyone that had gone through the system would never risk taking a cop, especially one with the last name Reagan. The guy probably did something but was never caught, but I bet you if they booked the guy his fingerprints or DNA would link him to other cases. He didn't want Jamie to identify him. Whatever he did, I bet you he has something similar planned for Jamie."
Jackie nodded, "I'll see what I can do about getting a clean view of his face, see if anyone around here recognizes him."
Danny was about to reply when his phone buzzed, "You do that. I just got a text from Rodriguez down at the lab." Danny looked down at his phone and read the email, "Seems they found Jamie's keys under his car. Apparently there was some DNA on one of them. Kid probably scratched the guy. Apparently it linked to four cold cases. Rodriguez said he couldn't get me the case files though."
Jackie looked up, "I got a friend who works archives that owes me a favor. I can probably get them." Danny nodded as Jackie pulled out her phone and dialed a number. He tuned out her conversation as he picked up the picture Jackie had printed, of the man who had taken Jamie. Rage clouded his senses until he felt a hand on his arm, his head snapped up to meet Jackie's eyes. She sent him a look telling him to calm down before she spoke, "My guy will have the files in my inbox soon, probably before we even leave this bar."
Danny smiled sadly and opened the door, still holding the picture. They made their way through the bar, Danny walked up to the bartender, "We're done back there, thanks for letting us see that." The bartender nodded as Danny held up the picture, "You ever seen this guy before?"
The bartender looked carefully at the picture, "Can't say that I have. You know the other detectives never showed me that picture, seems you got a couple of duds workin your brothers case."
Danny grimaced, "Which is why I am all the more thankful for you cooperation."
The bartender smiled, "Anything I can do to help, I know what it's like to worry about a younger brother. I'll let you know if I see the guy." Danny smiled in thanks, handing the man his card before walking out to the parking lot to join Jackie at the car.
He climbed in and immediately noticed the silence; he looked over and saw Jackie reading something off her phone. He grew worried as he saw her pale considerably, "What's wrong Jackie?"
Jackie looked up and took a deep, shaky breath before answering, "I got the case files. DNA matches four unsolved murder cases, men in their twenties all about Jamie's height and build. Family members reported them missing and nothing turned up until the bodies appeared." Jackie closed her eyes before continuing and her words made Danny's blood run cold, "Danny, before they were killed, all four men were tortured and raped over a period of almost a week."

Jamie groaned, his body was loudly protesting his decision to move. He looked to the window and realized the light seemed different; he must have fallen asleep without realizing it.
A voice broke in to his thoughts, "You're awake, just in time to get the party started."
Jamie's head snapped in the direction of the voice, making him momentarily dizzy, I must have a slight concussion from when he pistol whipped me.
He saw the man's sickeningly sweet smile as he moved closer, "Now, Jamie, nice name by the way, pretty name for a pretty boy. You are going to do everything I tell you or you will be punished and believe me, those are a lot more fun for me than they are for you."
Jamie backed away slightly from the advancing man. The man's smile darkened, "Jamie, what did I tell you about that." The man rushed forward, delivering a solid punch to Jamie's gut, driving the air out of his lungs. Jamie gasped for breath as he curled in on himself, his arm protectively over his midsection.
The man yanked his legs away from his body and quickly straddled them. Jamie struggled to get out from under the man but his captor simply smiled, "There is nowhere to go. Now,"
The man brought out a small knife, "You gonna do what I say, but don't worry, I won't touch your pretty face and I won't cut deep enough to scar too badly, just enough to hurt like hell." Jamie stayed silent and held his breath as the man leaned in and laid the side of the blade against his cheek, "Take off your shirt."
Jamie's eyes narrowed in defiance and he made no move to comply. The man pushed his free hand in to Jamie's sore stomach and growled, "Take it off."
Jamie managed to rasp out an answer, his voice rough and gravely from the abuse his throat took the night before, "No."
The man above him seemed to shake with anger and took the knife and violently cut through the fabric of Jamie's shirt, scratching the smaller man several time in the process. Jamie hissed at the sting. The man threw the tattered remains of Jamie's shirt across the room before positioning the tip of the blade at Jamie's collar bone and slowly dragging the knife a few inches down his ribs, leaving a thin line of red in its wake. Jamie grit his teeth against the pain as blood slowly welled up and out of the shallow cut.
Jamie's hands rushed to push away the man's knife hand but were caught by the other. Jamie tried to wrench his hands away but the man on top of him was stronger and pinned them above his head. The man placed the knife beside them and used his newly free hand to explore Jamie's torso, smearing the fresh blood and making the cut throb as it stretched.
Jamie struggled to reach for the knife but the man simply chuckled as his hand migrated to the button on Jamie's jeans. Jamie's eyes snapped to the other man's, shining with barely concealed fear.
As the man played with the button he leaned forward, when his lips were near Jamie's ear he whispered, "We about ta get to know each other real well Jamie, wanted to let you know, you can call me Stan."

A/N- So figured it was about time I named this guy so I didn't have to keep calling him "the man". Anyways, OMG poor Jamie, I'm just so mean to him. Don't worry though, there is no actual non con depicted it's only implied. But next chapter, Danny finds someone who has seen our mystery Stan and Jamie manages to make a cry for help, will anyone hear him?
