OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO SORRY! I did not realize that it had been almost a month since I have updated this story! Time just got away from me and I have been soooo busy with my new job that it's been hard to find time to even THINK about updating.

RECAP Ch.6: Angela FLASHBACK to bad beating from Dave, neighbors call cops, Renzulli and JOE REAGAN respond to the call, they help her leave Dave, Dave had written a suicide note for her and was going to kill her.

I don't own Blue Bloods (by the way- who is excited about the season premiere on FRIDAY!) and all mistakes are mine (especially concerning police procedure).

Chapter 7

Days passed, and then weeks; and Angela gradually got back into her routine. Dave had quit calling and leaving taunting messages.

She had thought that the Reagan brothers would give up on her case after a while, but Detective Reagan had called her a few times and so had Jamie Reagan, each wanting to know if she remembered anything new about the attack, and- in Jamie's case- to ask if she was doing alright or if she needed anything.

Angela really didn't know what to do with that. She had never really had anyone that was as concerned about her as Jamie was.

She just decided to ignore his phone calls, but for some reason, she found herself replaying his voice messages over and over again.

Jamie Reagan found himself to be just as fascinated by Angela as she was by him.

He couldn't stop thinking about her, wondering how she was doing. He couldn't resist calling to see if she was doing alright, and he hadn't given up on her case. He would look over her file, trying to see if he had missed anything.

One day, Jamie got curious and looked up her name. To his surprise, he found a previous police report.
Angela had been attacked before. Scrolling down, Jamie stared in shock when he found out who had filed the report—Sergeant Anthony Renzulli.

Jamie was anxious to talk to Renzulli, but his chance didn't come until the end of the day.

He caught Renzulli just as he was walking out of the locker room after shift.

"Hey Sarge, can I talk to you for a sec?" he asked, catching up to him as he was walking down the hallway.

Renzulli turned and stopped. "Sure Reagan, what's on your mind?" he asked.

"A couple months ago, Vinny and I responded to a 10-31 (crime in progress) at a woman's apartment and she claimed to have not known who attacked her, but…I got the feeling that she was hiding something. Anyway, I've been looking into her case, and it turns out that about five years back, she was the victim of another attack where she 'couldn't remember' who attacked her…and you were the responding officer."

The Sergeant looked at him. "What's the woman's name?" he asked, curious.

"Angela Fitzgerald" Jamie responded.

Renzulli stiffened, recognizing the name immediately. "Really…I'm sorry I don't remember the case. Want me to take a look and see if it'll jog my memory?" he asked, feigning ignorance.

Jamie studied him for a second and then responded. "Yeah, that'd be great."

As soon as Jamie disappeared into the locker room, Renzulli went over to one of the office computers and looked up Angela's case in the system.

Reading over it, Renzulli's heart sunk. He had a feeling that he knew who was behind this attack.

Renzulli quickly wrote down Angela's address and headed out, not noticing that a certain Reagan was watching his every move.

Angela was relaxing on her couch after a long day of meetings with her agent, her editor, and her publisher, when there was a knock at her door.

She wasn't expecting anyone, so she warily approached the door and looked through the peephole.

Angela's eyes widened when she saw who was standing outside her door.

She unlocked the door as quickly as she could. "Sergeant Renzulli!"

The Sergeant grinned at her. "Hello Angela."

Angela grabbed his arm and pulled him into the apartment, wrapping him in a hug.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, coming out of the hug and closing the door, locking it.

"Officer Jamie Reagan. He found out that I was the responding officer when you were attacked all those years back. Angela…was this Dave?" he asked, getting right down to business.

Angela sighed and nodded, sitting down on the couch. "Yeah it was him."

Renzulli sat down next to her. "Angela…I thought you were done with Dave! Why are you even back in the city? I remember specifically telling you to get away from here and him."

Angela nodded. "I remember, and I did…but he found me. I moved to Chicago, cut all ties with friends and family- that I had left- and tried to start over. It took him a year, but he found me. A newspaper clipping was all it took. I was volunteering at a library, reading books to kids. The local newspaper did a story on the library and they got a picture of me. He tracked me down and beat me badly. I was in the hospital for three weeks, Tony. I had to have surgery to reconstruct part of my jaw."

"I managed to get out and moved again, this time even further away to Seattle. That time it didn't even take him six months…so I came home" she whispered.

Renzulli wiped tears off her face that she hadn't even known were there.

"He always finds me, Tony, and I'm tired of running" she said.

"Angela, why don't you let the Reagan's help you? You've already got Jamie on your side and I hear his brother Danny is the Detective on the case. David Thomas is a corrupt cop, and the Reagan's don't stand for corruption or for abusers. Their father is the commissioner! Angela, sweetheart, you gotta tell them" Renzulli said, standing up.

Angela looked at him. "Why didn't you tell Jamie when he asked about the case?"

"It's not my place to tell. That's up to you…but you know Dave won't stop until your dead. He's past getting you back. He wants to taunt you until you break, and then he's going to kill you. You know I'm right."

Angela buried her face in her hands. "I know. That's why I got the gun, and the taser, and the pepper spray."

Renzulli shook his head and couldn't help grinning. "Well, no one can say you aren't prepared, but Angela…Do you really think you can do this on your own?" he asked, all joking aside.

Angela shook her head, looking up at him. "No. I don't."

Renzulli sat down next to her again, taking her hands in his. "Then tell them the truth."

"Okay. I will. I'll tell them tomorrow."

The next day, Detective Danny Reagan arrived to work to find Angela waiting for him.

"Ms. Fitzgerald" he said, surprised, walking up to her, "what can I do for you?"

Angela looked at him with dark circles under her eyes, looking like she hadn't slept at all. "I came here to tell you what really happened. Your brother's probably going to want to hear this as well."

Danny nodded and picked up the phone, calling Jamie. Jamie protested coming in at first (it was his day off), until he heard that it was Angela.

"I'm on my way" he said, before hanging up.

Danny shook his head. "Kid's got it bad" he muttered.

Jamie was there within a half hour and he walked up to Danny's desk where Angela was sitting.

Angela looked at both of them. "We're going to want to go somewhere to talk privately. The man that attacked me is a cop."

Well? What did you think? Reviews are great *hint hint* :-)
