Danny pulled up joining his partner outside already holding his weapon in case they needed it. "That's a cop in there and my little brother okay so don't do anything that may get him hurt," Danny told his team of six.
He quickly nodded, ignoring the fast pace of his heart as a special unit officer knocked the door in. "Police don't move," Danny ordered storming inside with his weapon drawn. He scanned the room ducking in time to avoid getting hit. Behind him Jackie returned fire covering her partner as he moved in.
Danny crept through the hallway kicking in a door all the down with his weapon steady. The room was bare, no furniture and paint peeling off the walls. A figure jumped out from behind the door surprising the Detective who stumbled.
Catching his balance Danny grabbed the guy's arm to slam him against the floor. "Where is he? Where's the cop?"
"what are you talking about man we don't have no cop here," the guy stared up wide eyed, bringing his hands up.
Roughly taking his frustration out on the perp Danny turned him over and cuffed him. "Take him," Danny ordered moving to sweep the room. Sure enough the room was empty beside Danny and the perp pulling their lead to a dead end.
"Damnit," he cursed with a kick to the wall that knocked some dust loose from the wall.
"It's clear, sorry partner we got a good lead to come here," Jackie sighed just as frustrated they weren't able to find the young cop.
Danny looked out the dirty window frustrated and worried for his baby brother, desperate to find out where he was and what was going on. "I'm not giving up until we find him Jackie. I'm not losing another brother."
"Detective you might want to come see this." Danny and Jackie hurried to the first room where they had the perps lined up. One officer stepped forward holding a picture of the Reagans from when Jamie was in high school.
Taking the picture Danny growled holding it up for everyone to see. "First person who talks gets the grand prize. Where is the person you took this picture from? Where is he!" Receiving no answer Danny went up and down the line showing each perp the picture individually. "Someone better start talking."
"We don't know where he is either but we're looking to find him too," one older man on the opposite side spoke up. Narrowing his eyes Danny walked over until their faces were inches apart.
"If I find out you're lying I will personally come and make you pay. Tell me who hired you, huh? I said WHO?" Danny clenched his fist getting frustrated with each minute they wasted not knowing where Jamie was.
The perp swallowed hard despite his stone face. "I want a lawyer," he said shakily.
"We'll get you a lawyer so you can rot in jail you scumbag. Get them out of here.." Still holding the picture Danny turned away to scan the room feeling they were missing something. Taking an uneven breath Danny whispered, "where are you kid?"
It pained Jackie seeing her partner like this knowing she'd be the same way if it were her family. "I'm gonna go see what the processing brings up on them. You hang in there okay, we'll find him."
Sighing Danny started outside going around to the side looking for any clues or evidence. The dark alley stretched pretty far down with no lights making it hard to see. Fishing his flashlight out Danny shined it left to right before taking another few steps.
Trash lay discarded against the wall waiting to be picked up. He moved the light again further up making a face at the trash smell. He sighed turning around getting nowhere but more frustrated.
Danny returned to the house a lone face as he collected Eddie to pick up clothes at the apartment grateful Henry convinced her to stay with them until they found Jamie. While Eddie went into the bedroom to pack Danny waited outside anxiously waiting for any good news.
Eddie pulled a bag out from the closet turning to set it on the bed when she noticed a single white cup shaped flower with pink dots sitting in the middle. Curiously Eddie picked it up bag forgotten as she examined the flower.
"You okay in there," Danny called anxious to work and find his brother. Eddie set the flower aside packing quickly with the closed on top so she could look it up at the house. Lifting the bag Eddie appeared with a nod following Danny back out to take her back.
Henry waited by the door waving bye to Danny, Linda and the kids as they headed to Staten Island and Danny back to work. "I'll show you upstairs sweetheart whose room would you like?"
Not waiting for an answer Henry led her to Jamie's old room in the middle between Joe and Frank. "If you need anything just let us know okay? You're more then welcome here as long as you need."
Eddie thanked the older Reagan feeling like her own grandfather with his warm smile. Once Henry left to give Eddie time so she could settle, Eddie took the flower out googling a description. She made a face when no hits popped, erasing the words and thinking.
She took a picture of the flower uploading it to google hoping for something. While google searched Eddie scanned the room with a smile at all the pictures posed neatly on shelves and hanging on the wall.
Looking back down at the phone Eddie smiled wide seeing a description of the white flower. "Mountain Laurel." Erasing what she searched Eddie typed the name in to find out where it was commonly found.
"Upstate Ny town of Hunter." Eddie set her phone aside relieved she was narrowing in on his general location. Now she had to find Jamie in one specific place without making it obvious, or letting the family know.
