Jamie took the last bag of groceries from his car having to use his arm to close the trunk. Eddie would be coming over later and he planned to cook her, spaghetti with garlic and oil, garlic bread and a salad. He couldn't help but help thinking of her and how amazing she's been as he started to his apartment.

He was not expecting to find Danny Reagan standing outside the door waiting for him. "Hey kid, how you feeling?"

"I'm fine Detective thanks, the medics helped a lot," Jamie mumbled as he opened the door half turned away from him. Finally getting the door open Jamie brought the bags in and began unpacking while Danny looked around.

"Decent place for a rookie. Guess that law class you took came in handy huh?" Jamie froze looking up to find Danny staring at him a deep hurt in his brown eyes.

"You didn't think we'd find out once you showed up here, that we'd forget about you? It's been ten years kid but we never forgot. Hey, we missed you Jamie all of us even me. It tore us up not knowing…" Danny's eyes sparkled watering remembering the feeling of helplessness not being able to protect his youngest brother.

Jamie turned to put the lettuce away more hiding his own face from his big brother before he gave it away. "I don't know what your talking about."

"Don't play dumb with me kid! I have proof that you're my brother. You don't even have to explain right now, I just need you to admit it. Look I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, I wasn't a good big brother but when you went missing kid it ate at me…. Mom and Joe..dad cried.."

Hearing his father cried not knowing he was safe forced a jerk in Jamie's body. He took several deep breaths before turning back to the Detective. "Look I'm really sorry for what happened to you guys but I can't and if you keep harassing me I'm going to file a complaint."

His blue grey eyes focused on his brother apologetic wishing himself it didn't have to be like this but it did.

Danny moved closer seeing he wasn't getting anywhere other then the kid's reaction as a sign they were right. At least for now they knew he was alive and could watch over him. "Okay, I work out of the 5-4 if you ever want to get a beer."

Danny stopped right in front of his brother eyes locked in a meeting long awaited. "Yea okay," Jamie agreed slowly. He was taken back when Danny hugged him tightly, feeling tears in his own eyes. Danny never hugged me he thought.

The two separated with Danny giving a soft smile as he walked out heading back to work. Jamie leaned against the counter dazed and unsure he was doing the right thing. In mid reach to make a call his cell rang allowing Jamie to pick up on the second ring. "Hey Conor we have a problem.."

Danny arrived at the 5-4 holding a bright smile on his face as he strolled to his desk. "Hey Jackie," he greeted his partner taking his jacket off to the back of his chair before sitting down.

Jackie stopped working to look at her partner, not seeing him this happy in a long time. "What's with the goofy smile Reagan? Or is it something I'd rather not know "

"Haha, I just went to see Jamie at his apartment and we talked a little bit. When I mentioned how upset we were he disappeared he froze up and there were tears in his eyes. I asked him just to confirm and he said he can't. He didn't deny it this time Jackie!" Danny leaned against the back of his chair smiling triumphantly.

"I'm glad Reagan, at the very least knowing he's alive. I have something else to share with you." Jackie cut her pile of paperwork in half and set it on her partner's desk. "Don't say I never got you anything."

Danny shook his head at her but took the top form off getting started. Even paperwork couldn't ruin his day today.

A few blocks away in Chinatown Eddie smiled at the doorman in Jamie's building heading up to his apartment. Arriving on his floor Eddie smiled eager to spend more time with him.

The door was already open sending a nervous chill through the cop's small frame. Using the wall as cover Eddie reached for her off duty checking the room before going in. "Jamie?"

Receiving no answer Eddie swept through the apartment sighing when she found it empty. Holding her gun in one hand Eddie pulled out her phone dialing Jamie's number receiving a voicemail alert.

"Damnit," Eddie cursed turning back to the kitchen pulling up Danny's number shaking. Her finger hovered over the last number catching something sotting on the counter. A small tan teddy bear sat in the middle holding a heart with her name in the middle.

"Jamie." She picked up the bear sighing pressing the last number. "Danny, we have a problem. Jamie's missing again, he's gone.."

Danny, Jackie, two patrol cars and ESU arrived in five minutes storming the apartment spreading out to dust for prints. "Eddie, what happened," Danny asked approaching the shaken officer.

"I came over, Jamie was making me dinner. When I get here the door is open but he's not here. Only thing that's here is this, sitting on the counter," Eddie said with a worried sigh. "What if he left again?"

"I'm not losing my brother again Eddie.. We'll find him," Danny promised. With a gentle pat to her shoulder Danny's expression softened. "We'll find him.."

He turned watching officers coming in and out of his little brother's apartment working to find the missing rookie. Not again he thought pulling out his phone to call his father. "Dad, Jamie's gone again."

He sighed turning to the officer who last saw his brother. "Okay Eddie let's try this again..did Jamie seem nervous about anything when you last spoke to him? "

"No," Eddie snapped before, taking a breath to calm down. She tried remembering Danny wasn't the enemy that he was trying to help find Jamie. "Sorry I didn't mean to take it out on you I'm just worried."

"I know trust me we'll find him," Danny scowled.
