For the first time in six years, Alex Bello was actually glad to see new scenery outside of the prison walls on Riker's Island. He had been good and that was one of the reasons why he was being released from prison.

"Here are all your belonging," one of the prison staff said as he handed a box of clothes and other personal items over to Bello. "Sign here please." Bello was then handed a pen and paper on a clipboard, which he signed his name at the bottom of the paper. Once he had signed the paper and all of the release forms, Bello smiled as he was free to waltz right out of the prison and back onto the streets of New York City. The first that he did when he actually got into the city itself, he went through all of his belongings to make sure that everything was there. There was one thing that caught his attention. It was a letter with the name, Sonny Malevsky, written in a none to familiar signature to Bello.

Dear Alex Bello,

As you should already know, that brat needs to be taught a lesson.

Unfortunately, we can't deal with him the same way that we dealt with the other one.

If I don't make it, make sure that the brat is broken.

Signed,

Sonny Malevsky, a fellow Blue Templar member.

"Haha," Bello laughed diabolically. He know knew what he had to do. He had to break the one responsible for the destruction of the Blue Templar. He had to break Jamie Reagan.


John Doe was a man without a past...more like a past that he didn't even remember in any way. For years, he had spent every minute of his free time trying to find out who he was before he had lost his memories. There were nights when he would just stay up thinking about who he might have been before he lost his memories.

Knock Knock

"John," came a woman's voice from outside of John's apartment. John immediately got up out of his chair and walked over to his apartment door.

"Its the middle of the night Anderson," John said to Anderson in a sleepy voice.

"Its actually nine forty-five," Anderson corrected him. "Listen, I've got a job that I need you to do."

"What kind of job," John asked her in a still sleepy voice He knew that if the job wasn't important, then she would have come woken him up.

"A man named Alex Bello was released from prison earlier today," Anderson informed him, "and I need you to watch him. We can't afford to let him cause trouble."

"What's this all about," John asked.

"Confidential and no questions asked," Anderson replied back before leaving.

Once John knew that she was gone, he quickly shut the door and locked it back. He decided that he would do the job that had been given to him by Anderson, but he knew that he needed ti get some more sleep before he got started on the job


Just like with other formal ceremonies, Jamie had to wear his formal uniform to the promotion ceremony. He watched and listened as other officers were called up and given their gold shields.

"Officer Jamie Reagan is being promoted to the rank of Detective Third Grade." Jamie was so nervous that he froze stiff. Luckily, he had his family there to help him and encourage him. Knowing that his family was there, Jamie immediately stood up and walked up onto the stage.

"Thank you," Jamie nervously said to Baker, who then handed Jamie a certificate.

"I'm proud of you," Frank said to his youngest son. Looking at his father's face, Jamie noticed a tear starting to form in his left eye. "Its okay to be nervous." Hearing his father's reassuring words made Jamie smile. After shaking his father's firm hand, Jamie immediately left the stage and sat back down in his seat. "As I have said in the past, congratulation to all of you and congratulations to your families."

"I never thought that I would see the day that my kid brother would become a detective," Danny said to his younger brother.

"You're making me more nervous than I already am," replied Jamie.

"Being promoted to detective is nothing to be worried about," Danny reassured him. "Now, what do you say about us going out and celebrating?" Jamie knew that celebrating would make him more nervous, but he knew that he wanted his older brother to be happy. Ever since Linda had died in a helicopter crash, Danny had struggling to raise two teenage boys while on a Detective First Grade payroll. Today, Jamie could see that Danny was actually happier than before.


Frank was sitting in his office when he got word that Jamie was wanting to see him. After hearing about how Jamie had decided to take the rest of the day off, Frank was a little worried about his youngest son.

"Detective Jamie Reagan is here to see you," Baker informed him.

"Send him in," replied Frank. He immediately turned around the moment Jamie entered the room. "Take a seat."

"I bet you already know why I'm here," said Jamie.

"I heard that you took the rest of your tour off," Frank worryingly said to his youngest son.

"Being promoted to a Detective Third Grade is hard for me to adjust to," Jamie explained to his father. "You know what's in a few weeks?"

"You don't have to remind me," Frank stated. He knew what would be coming up and that was May 15th. That meant that it would another year without Joe. After Joe had died, Frank was worried when Jamie had told him that he wanted to go into law enforcement and especially since he had made a promise to Mary that he would try to make sure that he wouldn't go into law enforcement. "I want you to be careful."

"You know that I will dad," Jamie reassured him.

"I know that son," replied Frank. "You better get back home and get some rest. Tomorrow is your first day on the job as a detective."

"I understand," Jamie said before walking out of the office. Frank couldn't help but worry even more knowing that his youngest son was a detective. If he lost Jamie, he didn't know if he could even live with himself if that were to ever happen.
