Jamie waved goodbye to his brother as he crossed the parking lot to his car after leaving the bar. He was pulling out his car keys when a solid weight collided with him and sent him to the ground. He immediately turned, reaching for his off-duty weapon. His hands were almost immediately grabbed and thrust above his head to hold him down. He felt hands searching his pockets as he tried to escape from the man's grasp.
Just as the man's fingers closed around his wallet, Jamie managed to swing a leg around. His foot connected with his attacker's ribs, sending the man sideways. Jamie barely had time to sit up before the man was on him again, closing his fingers around Jamie's neck.
Jamie managed to land a solid punch and stand while the other man was dazed. Jamie tries to shout but his voice comes out rough and drops out after half a syllable.
The attacker shook his head, as if to clear it and charged Jamie, pinning him to the wall in the dark parking lot. Jamie can smell the alcohol on his attacker's breath as the man moves his head closer. Jamie cringes as he hears the man sneer, "You fight good for a pretty boy. Now let's see who you are." Jamie tries uselessly to get away from the man as he feels his wallet slip from his pocket. He stills when he hears the man curse, "Shit, youse a cop."
Jamie pushes against the man, trying to at least free his arm so he can take a swing. The man pushes harder and growls, "Guess that just mean you are gonna come with me, soon as I find your piece."
Jamie fights back a shiver as he feels the man's hand brush his hips and slowly move up to his chest. The man smiles when he grasps the shoulder holster hidden by his jacket. He pulls the gun out and brushes the barrel against Jamie's cheek, "You and I are gonna have some fun."
Jamie watches as the man brings the gun back and down against the side of his head. As the world goes dark Jamie's last thought is I hope Danny got home alright.

Danny shoves a half burnt piece of toast in his mouth as he grabs his keys. He swallows and shouts, "Hey Linda, I gotta go. You got the boys?" He hears a faint yes being yelled from upstairs as he runs out the door.
As Danny pulls in to the precinct parking he spots Jackie. "Hey Jackie!"
Jackie smiles, "Better turn yourself around, we got a case Regan."
Danny frowns, "Damn, I was hoping to get some coffee."
Jackie laughs as they climb back in the car, "Hey, it's better than paperwork."
Danny and Jackie pull up to the scene and Danny pauses to look at the squad car, "Hey that's Jamie and Renzulli's car."
Jackie glances over, "Guess we get to see the kid on this one."
Danny smiles as they duck under the tape. He spots Renzulli and walks over, "What do we got?"
Renzulli points to the body, "Young woman, no ID. She was stabbed, bled out before EMT's got here. First responders caught a runner; guy still had the knife on him."
Danny turns to his partner, "Seems open and shut to me. Let's get this wrapped up and get some coffee."
Just as Danny starts to leave he hears Renzulli, "Hey Reagan, where is Harvard any ways?"
Danny freezes and turns, "What?"
Renzulli looks at him confused, "Jamie sick or something? He didn't show up this morning and he hasn't called in sick. I was wondering if you knew where he was."
Danny frowned, "No way is he sick, we had a beer last night. He was perfectly fine."
Renzulli meets Danny's worried gaze "Let me know how he is when you find out will ya. I like the kid; he's a damn fine officer."
Danny smiled, "He's a Reagan, it's in the blood." He turns back to Jackie and the two head back to their car, "Let's drop by Jamie's place, see if anything's up." Jackie nods silently as they climb in and speed of towards Jamie's apartment.
Danny stops, practically leaping from the car before he turns it off. Jackie is right behind him as they rush up the stairs, her hand hovering near her gun. As they reach the door, Danny pulls out his keys, searching until he finds the right one. He unlocks the door and opens it slowly.
As he enters the apartment he calls out, "Jamie, it's Danny. You here kid?" when no answer comes he motions for Jackie to join him. He walks further into the apartment, noting his brother's keys aren't on the table near the door.
Jackie looks around, stopping to look in the kitchen and living room as Danny heads back to the bedroom. Danny opens the bedroom door to see the room empty and the bed made, "He's not here. I don't even think he slept in his bed." Danny turns to face his partner, the worry clear on his face, "His keys aren't here either."
Jackie is silent a moment, "It seems like he never came home last night. How about we check the place you guys went last night then call your dad." Danny nods as they exit the apartment. He makes sure to lock the door before following his partner back to the car and doesn't complain when she gets behind the wheel.
Danny mumble directions to the bar as he worries about his little brother. As they pull in to the parking lot, Danny's heart drops at the sight of his brother's car sitting in the exact spot it had been the night before.
Danny gets out of the car and circles his brother's familiar one. He freezes when his eyes find a dark spot on the ground nearby, next to the wall. He crouches next to it and can feel the blood drain from his face as he looks at the small pool of drying blood.
Jackie is next to him, pulling him to his feet and he can't quite make out what she is saying. His head turns toward her, "What?"
Jackie leads him to the car, "I said, sit down and call you father, he needs to know."
Danny opens the door and leans with his head against the arm rest as he pulls out his phone and presses the speed dial.
Hello.
Danny steels himself before saying, "Dad we got a problem."
What's wrong Danny?
Danny takes a deep breath, "Jamie's missing."
