Jamie was called into One Police Plaza. He stepped off the elevator and Detective Baker smiled at him.

"Officer Reagan. The Commissioner is in with the mayor but he should be done in a minute if you would wait out here."

Jamie nodded and sat in one of the seats. Baker was quiet until finally asking.

"How are the babies?"

He smiled. "Growing way to fast."

She nodded. "They'll be a year in November right?"

He nodded. Before anything else could be said Mayor Poole came out of his father's office. He smiled and extended his hand.

"Jamie Reagan right?"

Jamie nodded and shook his hand. "Yes sir."

"I believe he's waiting for you."

Jamie smiled and walked in. Frank was alone. He glanced up from a paper he was signing and smiled.

"Hey glad you could come."

Jamie sat down. "Well when the commissioner wants you at OnePP you get pulled off patrol quickly."

He nodded. Jamie looked behind his father. He typically kept family pictures to a minimum but behind Frank next to pictures of his mother and Joe was a picture of Jamie with his girls. It had been taken at their christening. Henry held Josie while Jamie held the twins. It made him smile. Frank set his work aside and gave his son his full attention.

"I wanted to let you know that I have assembled a task force to find Donald Palmer. Danny is heading it up and he wants you to be a part of it."

Jamie was a little taken aback. "Me? But i'm not a detective."

"No but you have studied this case both from the perspectives of a lawyer and a cop. You know this guy's history. You'll be an asset." He then took his glasses off and handed him a file. "This is everything we've had since Palmer blew up the courthouse. I've spoken with Sergeant Renzulli and you will be working this along with your beat cop work. Just like when you were undercover. You'll be paid overtime."

Jamie nodded. "Thank you."

"Don't thank me. You earned this."

Jamie stood and saluted him. When Frank reciprocated he left.

Jamie was still excited when he got home that night. Eddie was getting the girls ready for dinner when he walked through the door. He grinned.

"Hey Babe."

She smiled as she set Addie in her high chair. "Hey. How was your day?"

He set the file down and set Josie in her seat. "I got picked to be on a task force with Danny."

She joked. "The Reagan Brothers back in action?"

He swatted her playfully. He helped her pass out pieces of chicken with yellow rice and green beans. Then he started fixing the girl's sippy cups with apple juice. He smiled at Eddie.

"This could be a huge opportunity for me to prove myself."

She nodded. "Yeah but Palmer is psycho Jamie. Be careful."

He kissed her softly. "Always."

He handed the babies their cups. Eddie sighed and started fixing their plates.

"So Erin has arranged for family portraits. She says it's been a couple years since you all had them done and as she has pointed out several times the only professional photos we've had done of the girls was when they were newborns."

"Okay. When does she want to do them?"

"This Sunday before family dinner. She wants us to meet at Central Park."

"Sounds good."

"Oh and we all have to wear navy."

He rolled his eyes.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Danny looked up and smiled. "Hey Kid."

Jamie sat down and looked at his brother. "What do you need?"

"Well we're tracking down all of Palmer's former acquaintances. But so far we're coming up empty. Most of them are either dead or in jail. So you can help by trying to figure out a pattern to his bombs."

Jamie nodded and got to work. After a couple of hours he looked at Danny.

"Palmer's first bomb was at a book store?"

"Yeah why?"

"he only killed two people. So why would he target a bookstore?"

"Maybe it was the first place he thought of?"

"Or it meant the most to him."

Danny set his stuff aside and gave Jamie his full attention. "So he had a beef with someone that either owned or worked there."

"We need to find that person."

They started looking through employees at the bookstore. An hour after they started Jamie smiled.

"Hey the owner's daughter, Leann Summers, she went to the same high school as Donald Palmer."

Danny looked. "And?"

"And she was prom queen, homecoming queen, head cheerleader...maybe she rejected him."

"Palmer was a nerd. Captain of the chess team and in the robotics club...lets go talk to Leann."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Jamie knocked on the door and waited until a fairly attractive middle aged blonde opened it. She smiled politely.

"Can I help you?"

Danny pulled out his shield. "I'm Detective Reagan and this is Officer Reagan. Are you Leann Summers?"

She smiled. "I'm Leann Griffith now. But yes. Can I ask what this is about?"

Jamie spoke. "Donald Palmer."

Her smile dropped. "I really don't want to talk about that."

Danny spoke. "It's important. May we come inside."

She hesitated before nodding. "Sure."

They followed her into her front living room. She motioned for them to sit on the couch while she settled in an antique arm chair. Danny spoke professionally.

"You've probably heard but Donald Palmer has been officially ruled undead. So we need to learn everything that we can about him. Your name popped up in our investigation. You two went to school together?"

She nodded. Jamie smiled politely.

"What do you remember about him?"

She sighed. "Awkward...strange. He was a nerd."

Danny nodded. "were you two friends?"

"He tutored me in chemistry and math. But we were never friends."

Jamie read her body language. She was lying. He decided to ease into it.

"Ma'am all do respect, I do not think your telling us the whole truth here. Now this man killed your father. He wouldn't have done that without a good reason."

She looked guilty. "He developed a little crush on me. I had just broken up with my boyfriend and it was nice to have someone worship me. So one night after we studied we slept together. Then..."

Danny caught on. "You got pregnant."

She nodded ashamed. "He thought that we were going to get married but I was mortified. I didn't want to be a mother at that age so I had an abortion. He flipped out."

After a few more minutes they left and Jamie looked at Danny in the car.

"He's a coward. He wouldn't confront Leann so he killed her father. Everything is about him being rejected."

"And who is the one person that silenced him once and forall?"

"Dad."
