The Blue Line – A club located where Eve’s first house was. In New York to Dallas, Eve said she started at the 46, Lower West, but it was a small house and Central absorbed it eight years ago (~2052). She told Roarke the house was now a club called the Blue Line and he wondered (to himself) if she’d like owning her first cop shop.[1]
All other mentions indicate it was a cop bar, with the availability of food first mentioned in Abandoned in Death.
- In Delusion in Death, the Red Horse team planned to get beers there once the case was closed.[2]
- In Devoted in Death, the gang went there for drinks to celebrate Trueheart’s detective badge.[3]
- In Leverage in Death, Feeney mentioned to Eve that a bunch of them were having an Oscar-viewing party at the Blue Line[4], but she and Roarke opted to watch at home.[5]
- In Faithless in Death, Baxter suggested breakfast beers at the Blue Line after the Natural Order takedown. Eve told him, “Bust now, beer later.“[6]
- In Abandoned in Death, Jenkinson and Reineke had just placed orders for burgers at the Blue Line when Eve called them in as backup at Andy Dawber’s apartment, although it turned out Dawber no longer lived there.[7]
- In Payback in Death, Eve remembered seeing Ansel Hobbs, a cop she was at the Academy with, whom she slept with once, there after she had made Detective and “got an itch,” meaning, she felt something was off with him. So, when it came out that IAB was investigating him, she wasn’t surprised.[8]
- When Baxter and Trueheart closed a cold case in Passions in Death, and Baxter said they were heading out for a celebrational brew, Santiago and Carmichael said they’d join since they just wrapped theirs as well. Reineke and Jenkinson were waiting on the ME for theirs, which was going to be accidental - four-hundred-fifty pound man trying to sweat off pounds in a hot box, didn’t bother with the fail-safe shut-off control; Reineke said he could meet them for one brew after they cleared it, with Jenkinson declining for a family thing. Eve declined since she and Peabody had yet to close Erin Albright’s murder case, but Peabody said she would see if McNab was up for it and meet them at the Blue Line.[9] It made Eve “think about the idea of Off Duty, and how it will be good to have another place, if you want more than a fake burger and a half-decent brew. Maybe you want some music, and more variety after closing one, or when you’ve got a hard one and need a break.”[10]
YANNI: Since Detective Stuben worked Spanish Harlem, this was a different 46 than the one mentioned in Salvation in Death.
