In which the family are scared witless…

Most of this is in Danny's Point of View and maybe a little bit of Jamie

The party was in full swing. It was one of those fundraisers that the Reagan family were forced to go to. Frank and Henry were forced to by civic duty and Nikki had insisted on going once she learned that one of the members of one of the bands that she was into would be singing a solo and Erin was going to simply ensure that Nikki wouldn't act like a deranged fan girl and get thrown out. Jamie was going because he was so desperate for a night away from a manic four year old that he willing to be the Reagan poster boy and Danny was taking Linda because A) his lovely wife had threatened him with sleeping on the couch for the next month if she didn't get a chance to show off for one night and B) because there was a free and open bar for most of the night.

They had left Jack in charge of Sean and Katy and Danny predicted his dad's house would be a mess by the time they staggered in at midnight. Jack was a good kid and responsible enough to babysit Danny just hoped the kid ordered pizza and tried not to cook anything after the great "Pre-Made Pancakes do not go in the toaster" debacle of the previous year. He was currently leaning against the wall outside taking a much needed break from the political schemes of the new mayor's induction with his tenth glass of champagne. A look at his watch ensured he had two more hours of this hell left to go and he groaned thinking he wanted nothing more than to be in his own house with his sons and wife with the door locked safe and sound.

He heard a noise behind him he turned to see his younger brother coming out looking as distinctly uncomfortable as he felt, Danny rolled his eyes-his little brother always got this way when he left Katy alone for two long. It was a classic new parent fault that Danny knew from experience sucked. "You Ok?" he asked draining the last of his glass and willingly taking the one Jamie held out for him. His brother nodded biting his lip in a classic nervous Jamie move "I haven't heard from Jack that's all" he admitting softly "He was supposed to text me when he got Katy to sleep and he hasn't"

Danny resisted the urge to roll his eyes at his oldest son. Jack took after his mother when it came to technology and his phone would either be dead or he would be involved in another phone-bill racking text message conversation with some girl he liked. Linda had managed to get her name out of Jack-Theresa and that Jack thought the sun shined from her. Danny had so far resisted the urge to look through his phone records to see what was being said or done and look for her during work, because he was that kind of parent you know-the good trusting kind.

Ignoring his little brothers worry he took another gulp of champagne "Don't worry kid, Jack probably forgot or is trying to bankrupt me through the phone bill, chances are Katy's on a sugar crash in front of the TV" Jamie nodded once knowing as well as Danny did that that was a plausible outcome and very probably what had happened he turned around to go back in before turning to look at Danny again "You don't suppose anything has happened though?" Danny rolled his eyes again at his little brothers nervousness while simultaneously trying to remember if he was like this when Jack and Sean were little. He couldn't remember. "Don't worry kid," he reassured his brother "All will be ok"

They were interrupted by Erin who had for most of the night had her hands full with Nikki who was attracting a lot of attention what with the fan-girl thing and then the whole pretty young girl for half of New-York's elite to drool over, she looked flustered and Danny was willing to bet his car Nikki had run off with one of the nephews of the General of the Marines who was here tonight and been eyeing her up all night. "Dad says get your asses back in here- if he has to listen to the speeches then you have to too." Jamie groaned before drowning the last of his champagne. Danny shook his head vehemently "No way am I going back in that death-trap"

Erin shot him a don't be stupid look his sister had perfected over the years before turning around and saying in a sing-song voice "Fine but just so you know one of the waiters is undressing your wife with his eyes." Danny dropped his glass which shattered on the floor then leaping of the wall he'd been sitting on ran back inside eyes blazing. Jamie chuckled following Erin all thoughts of what was going on at the house forgotten.

By the time midnight had arrived Jamie had been getting increasingly worried, Danny had just laughed it off as Jack and Sean falling asleep at possibility that was supported by Erin and his dad, but Jamie couldn't help but feel worried. It was that feeling Joe use to talk about when on the streets, where you knew something was wrong but you didn't know what until it was upon you.

Danny had rolled his eyes at that comment but Jamie knew the tell-tale signs of his older brother getting concerned-such as the near constant checking of his phone and the way they got increasingly quicker. A part of him knew that Katy would be in bed and probably Sean and Jack and that was why nobody was answering the house-it was nearing midnight after all. He shook down the worry and the instinct clawing out of him and instead chose to focus on watching his brother death-glare the waiter that was staring at Linda instead.

Danny had been thoroughly irritated. He was seriously considering taking Jack's phone off him for a month- his son knew the rules God knows he had made him repeat them for nearly a week. He hadn't heard anything in nearly three hours and Danny could see his brother getting nervous, and to top it all off some dead-beat that quite frankly shouldn't be breathing the same air as his wife had spent the whole of the night staring at her. While the car was driving he was playing out a lovely scenario in his mind of throttling that damn waiter while all the while wondering what was going to do with Jack, he didn't realise that they were at his dad's place.

It was when he got out of the car that he realised that something was wrong. He had left his unmarked police car outside when they had gotten the detail, and now the car was gone. He briefly entertained the idea that his impulse son had gotten into the car and drove of somewhere to meet someone before realising that Jack only knew the basics on how to drive and therefore would probably crash the car. That and the thought that his son wasn't completely stupid- heaven help the amount of trouble he would be in if that turned out to be true. He didn't realise that he had stopped until he felt Linda walk into him and his father's voice cutting through the clear air like a knife.

"What's wrong son?" gesturing to the empty space in front of the house Danny muttered vaguely "The car's gone" Linda stared at him her eyes wide "You don't think that Jack's gone out and left them do you?" she said her voice increasing in anger at the thought. It was Jamie that spoke however and it was his voice that made Danny pause. "Ugh I don't think that's what happened Linda, the doors open" there was a longer pause as they all looked before Nikki stated from where she was behind Erin "You locked the front door though"

The group of them went up the steps to the house as a group until Jamie who was at the front stopped causing Danny to bump into him. He was just about to ask what the hell his little brother was playing at when he saw what he was looking at. There on the floor leading away from the house was what looked like a footprint-a bloody footprint-which looking at the size of it was around the age of a four year old. Danny felt sick. He felt like the world was spinning and all he could see was his sons as he had left them on their phones and in front of the TV completely unaware that with the whole family out they could be targets to any bastard.

Suddenly Danny felt Linda's nails digging into his arms and realised that she was looking at the door. Looking up he felt his throat close up at the sight that he was greeted with. The door of the house was covered in bloody handprints slightly ajar and from the light spilling out the detective could see more blood dripping down the steps from the house. If it hadn't been for his wife standing to next to him Danny was pretty sure that his legs would have gone out.

He moved towards the house and up the (bloody) steps at nearly a run only just beating his brother. He swore in his head realising that he didn't have his gun on him only now realising the colossal mistake that he'd made. Opening the door, Jamie just behind him and walking into the living room he stopped dead at the sight he was greeted with.

The kitchen looked like a home invasion gone drastically wrong, blood was splattered down the sink and the floor staining the oak cabinets a dull brown colour, and crimson against the kitchen floor pooling around the table. From the pool of blood there was a smatter of baby footprints which could only belong to Katy leading out from the kitchen all over the carpet and to the front door. Looking around Danny could see nothing to indicate that his children or niece were upstairs or around the house.

He turned around to see his brother stood in the middle of the living room eyes fixed on his daughters bloody footprints. Danny had seen that look only three times on his brothers face and all three times had included the death of someone close to him- his mother, his brother and his girlfriend and Danny shuddered just at the memory. Briefly his eyes flickered over to his wife, whose hands were shaking uncontrollably the way they had done when Sean had been in the hospital. He could read his wife like a book and she him, and simultaneously they both knew the other was only inches away from falling apart.

Danny closed his eyes upon hearing the gasp from his sister. His brain was trying to go into Detective mode, was trying to focus on the scene like it had done every time he had worked a case but all he could see was his boys oh god his boys and his little niece, and instead of seeing a crime scene all he could see was what must have happened to create this much blood and who was hurt.

If Danny was in turmoil it was nothing to what his little brother was currently going through. Looking at the carpet all Jamie could see was those little footprints stained in the carpet in blood. There was a roaring in the young father ears and all he could see was blood. There had been blood all over Eddie the night she had been killed-he remembered. He had carried her into the hospital and had sat for nearly three hours just looking at the blood. Four years later and he was doing the same thing only this time it was with his daughter.

He could hear muted conversations in the back of his mind sounding like background noise compared to the fuzziness in his mind that was growing louder by the second. It was broken by the sharp ring of the phone-and never had a sound sounded more beautiful and more frightening at the same time than that noise. Looking up Jamie saw Danny reach out from where he had been standing in the kitchen looking around as numb as Jamie and pick up the phone. The trembling in his voice was noticeable and something that sounded strange coming from his normally strong brother.

"Who is this? Jack, Sean, Katy? Who is this and where the hell of my kids?" there was a pause as everyone in the family seemed to collectively hold their breath waiting for the reply. Danny seemed to sag against the wall breathing deeply and if his voice had sounded wreaked before it was nothing compared to what it sounded now. "Jack, thank god buddy" looking at his brother Jamie saw Linda practically melt into his father's side from where she had been standing "Where are you? Are you alright? My god Jack the kitchen…" and Jamie watched as his normally strong brother seemed to break in front of him and before he could blink his dad had crossed the room and took the phone out of his hand.

"Jack where are you?" he said using the tone of voice that Jamie had long since viewed as the Commissioner's voice. There was a pause and when his father spoke again it was with a sharper voice "Why what's happened to Sean?" Danny looked up from where he had been stood with his hand wrapped in Linda-and suddenly he was across the room and reaching for the phone ignoring Erin's attempts to stop him stark naked terror written all over his face. And in that moment Jamie hated himself for the little part of him that was relieved that whatever had happened it didn't seem to happen to Katy.

There was another pause before his dad spoke again "Which hospital?" he paused again and then spoke "Jack don't move we will be there in five minutes" then he hung up. Turning to face the family his dad said "thankfully it's not as bad as it looks- Sean was doing the dishes, slipped slashed his arm on a knife, Jack panicked took the car drove to St Mary's and apparently backed it into a pole. Sean's alright it's just a bad cut that requires stitching" Jamie noted his father had barely had enough time to finish the sentence before Danny was out the door Linda barely just behind him.

The drive to the hospital was filled with silence. Danny was sat with Linda the both of them doing their best to be strong for each other, while his dad had his arm around Erin and his grandpa with Nikki who was shaking slightly. It was times like this that the youngest Reagan wanted somebody like that-he had had it was Eddie only to have it snatched away. While he loved being a father and his daughter was by far the only reason on some days he could keep going Jamie couldn't help but want that for himself. Suddenly his throat became tighter and his eyes began to blur.

Danny was leading the charge when they burst into the ER room exactly five minutes later. He looked around frantically before he heard Katy's sweet little voice "Daddy!" turning around he almost let his knees go out from under him when his arms were filled with a blonde haired blue eyed four year old, in blood stained unicorn pyjamas. He pulled Katy closer to him and saw Jack standing behind her with a young red-headed nurse. He barely focused on that however, checking his daughter all over. Looking down he saw Katy's bloody feet and stained pyjamas and felt the bile raising up in the back of his throat again making him gag and he vowed no matter what time they got home tonight he would clean the blood of his baby's feet.

Danny had ran into the hospital. He watched as Katy flung herself at his brother and turning around facing the direction she had come from he saw Jack. He paused skidding to a stop in front of his son mouth agape. His son was covered in blood. Sean's blood. One of his babies was covered in another of his babies' blood and the thought of that was enough to make the room spin. Jack followed his gaze looking down at his blood stained clothes, before shaking his head frantically "No Dad its Ok it's just a really bad cut I swear" he barely heard anything after that, he just pulled his son into his arms and felt his wife do the same. The feel of his son and wife in his arms slowly began to ground him and he was almost able to laugh when Jack said "I backed your car into a pole".

They stood there like that for a few moments until the doctor came. Following him into the room he heart seemed to jump a beat at the shade of Sean's skin and the deep angry red line that was bandaged down his forearm. He didn't say anything when Jack swore that this was the scariest thing he had ever lived through-even though he privately agreed, he also didn't say anything when Linda commented shakily that walking into the kitchen had placed ten years on them all. He personally thought that it had put on twenty.

The tense atmosphere was broken slight by Katy who was curled against Jamie playing with his suit collar "Shit scary" she said softly. Jack winced silently as all eyes turned to him. The boy shrugged before admitting a small smile "So something else you should know"

And that's a wrap on this little two shot- Thanks to all that have so far reviewed... One more chapter of Sought-After and Snatched and then any prompts that you guys want on any of the Reagan grandchildren if any of you guys want prompts PM me or leave a review.
