Detective Mac Taylor was on his way home when he was thinking over what had been happening recently.
For Mac it had been a bit of an unnerving few weeks to say the least. Between been stalked and kidnapped by the brother of an old friend of his and getting dumped by Peyton, it all took a toll on him.
Following an easy open and shut case and finishing the paperwork that followed he went home at 2:00 pm at the urging of his crew, including Flack and Angell. Deciding against driving while feeling overwhelmed he walked back to his place which wasn't far from the lab.
Walking slowly he had gotten home an hour later and had barely gotten in the lobby walking towards the elevator and was deep in thoughts when something or someone bumped right into him. He looked up and saw an Asian male no more than twenty two years of age and he heard him in a heavy Chinese accent say, "I sorry, I sorry, sir please take baby."
Right then he felt the young man thrust a carrier and bag into his hand and took off. Mac was out of it for a split second before going after the young woman with the items in hand. He stepped out of the building in time to see him jump in a car that sped off. Mac memorized the license plate number whilst the doorman had also copied down the license plate number and handed it to him. Mac thanked the doorman and headed back in the lobby; he would have to call Flack later to track it.
He then carried the items back into the lobby and went back inside. During the elevator ride up he heard a whimper come from the carrier and when he went back into the apartment lobby, he put down the carrier and flipped open the blanket, he saw a tiny infant, female no more than a week old. Once at the right floor he got off quickly opens the door and got into his apartment. Checking the temperature on the thermostat, he then set down the carrier and using the blanket that was used to cover the carrier, placed it on the couch and gently picked up the infant who was now whimpering loudly and quickly wrapped her up and held her gently.
The cries subsided and snuggled closer. Mac smiled, he couldn't help but already loving the infant. As he held her he noticed a piece of paper in the carrier; Mac picked it up, opening it with one hand and began to read it:
2007/11/30
To Resident(s) of this Household:
Please take care of my little girl who was born November 28, 2007 at Mercy General. At this time I cannot care her because I am myself with grief. My wife (the baby's mother) and the love of my life, died during childbirth.
Many thanks; I know you will able to pick a fitting name her.
I owe you my gratitude,
Wang Ji
When Mac finished reading the note his heart went out for the father, at least he is doing the right thing.
As he had finished reading the note he called Don with the information to see if he would be able to find information on the young man and the car. He then called the Bureau of Child Welfare and they said they would have someone call at the earliest Monday morning.
Shortly afterwards came a knock on the door and he remembered Stella was stopping by so they could talk and hang out and talk. With the infant asleep in his arms Mac went to open the door. As soon as Stella saw Mac with an infant in his arms causing Stella to wonder, what is going on?
