When they arrived a nurse directed the commissioner and Detective to where their officer was. "He's being difficult won't let us exam him and won't listen to the other officer in there with him. " sighing Frank never thought he'd hear those words to describe Jamie.

Pulling the curtain back Frank stepped in first followed by Danny observing the situation. Jamie lay in bed held by Renzulli as the doctor and nurses stood back frustrated they couldn't help him. "Jamie. Thank you for staying with him Tony," Frank said softly walking closer.

Frank placed a gentle hand on his youngest son's shoulder trying to make eye contact. "Son, it's me relax your safe. You have to let the doctors help you okay?" Jamie squirmed against his father refusing to listen.

Danny moved next to his father wanting to try, placing a hand on his little brother's arm. "Hey, look at me kid. Jamie, look at me..please let the doctors check you kid. I've been through what you just went through. Your okay, your safe."

Jamie blinked finally registering he was being spoken to, turning his head to look at his older brother. "Danny? I couldn't help him.. Couldn't save Vinny, he was my partner and I couldn't help him."

"No, you did everything you could kid. You did great, it wasn't your fault okay? Let the doctors check you .." Danny nodded at the doctor allowing him to come work on Jamie's shoulder. Jamie reached up grabbing his brother's arm before Danny could move away. "Stay?"

"I'm right here kid, not going anywhere." Danny sat down next to his brother while the doctor and nurses fixed up his shoulder. Frank watched with pride as his oldest sat with his youngest comforting him while the doctor checked Jamie's shoulder.

Jamie flinched when the doctor pulled out a piece lodged in Jamie's shoulder, cleaning it out before placing a large bandage over. "Make sure to clean it good every night and change the bandages. "

After giving Danny a prescription for pain killers in case they needed Danny helped Jamie back to his feet. "Cmon kid I'll drive you back home," Danny looped an around his shoulder helping him downstairs to the car with Frank in tow.

After setting Jamie in the front passenger seat Danny closed the door turning to find his father right behind. The commissioner held a worried look in his eyes one familiar to Danny. "Don't worry dad I got him. I want to do this dad, we could have lost him and he's my only brother."

"Thank you Danny, let me know if you need anything." Frank smiled turning back to look out the window as they were driven back to Jamie's apartment. The family would want to see him, assure he was safe but Jamie wasn't ready for that attention yet.

The car ride was quiet Jamie staring out the window wordlessly not responding to his brother's attempts at conversation. After a few times Danny let his brother alone until they got back to the apartment. Jamie walked to the window looking out at Bay Ridge quietly, followed by Danny staying close.

"Hey talk to me kid.."

Jamie looked back at his brother eyes twinkling with a deep sadness and guilt. "We were chasing a purse snatcher who ran into the Bitterman projects. When we followed the yard was empty it just didn't feel right. I tried warning Vinny that it was a set up when I got hit first. They kept coming so I ducked for cover, turned and saw Vinny was hit. "

He paused recalling the horror seeing his partner out there hit. "I called in for backup then fired to get Vinny back safely. I tried Danny CPR the entire time but he died in my arms."

Danny listened feeling bad his brother had to go through that. "I'm sorry kid I know what it's like loosing a partner in your arms. Listen to me you did great kid. You did everything you possibly could and had Vinny's back the entire time okay? It is not your fault."

"Thanks Danny," Jamie sighed grateful his big brother was there to help him through this but he couldn't help wish Eddie waited to cuddle while she listened. She always knew how to make him feel better.

"I'm here kid. I know I'm not the touchy feels sentimental type but I have your back."

Not liking the look of Jamie's distant eyes Danny text Linda letting her know he was staying with Jamie. He took to sleep on the couch after making sure Jamie fell asleep first. Just after two Jamie sat up in bed gasping, drenched in sweat. He looked around breathing hard the image of Vinny's face staring at him eyes wide open pale faced. "No."

Danny walked in hearing his brother from inside slowly sitting on the bed. "Hey it's okay just a dream kid."

"I saw Vinny.." Jamie inhaled quickly. Sighing Danny placed a hand on his brother's arm supportively listening while offer comfort.

"It just happened okay but trust me it'll get better. You're not alone in this Jamie, pops, dad and I have all gone through this. Renzulli too so you can talk to us we understand okay," Danny kept his voice soft hating to see his baby brother this upset.

Giving him a nod Jamie laid back down feeling better with his brother there. "You need to sleep okay kid? I'm right inside of you need." Instead of getting up Danny ran a hand through his brother's hair the way their mom used to when they were kids.

It took an hour for Jamie to fall back asleep allowing Danny to also try and get a few hours having an early tour. His grandfather would stop by tomorrow while Danny and Frank were working so Jamie didn't have to be alone.

It put Danny at ease that someone stayed with Jamie knowing the incident was still fresh in his mind but when it hit it would hit hard. All through tour his mind wandered to his little brother sitting In his apartment noticed by Baez.

"How's Jamie doing?"

"He's still in shock. Baez the look in his eyes I've never seen that before except when our brother died," Danny sighed putting the pen down exchanging a sigh.

"It'll take time but he has all of you to help. If you need to go Danny I understand." Baez knew he was going to refuse unless something came up. The conversation ended with both Detectives turning back to their work. On her screen a snapshot of Eddie's last outgoing call just outside the jersey turnpike. She quickly wrote it down, minimizing the screen before Danny saw.

Maybe all Eddie needed to come back was a woman to woman chat.
