"What is going on!" Jack asked angrily. Both detectives walked him to the elevator then took him to the van.

"Nothing, we don't want you to see your daughter," Joe told him.

"What!" Jack turned towards the detectives.

"Jack!" Alex yelled as Ed took the cuffs off Jack's wrists. While Ed walked away, Joe gave Jack a big shove into the open compartment of the van.

"Did you just do that?" Jack yelled angrily. He took a step towards Joe who walked away to his car then turned towards Jack.

"Calm down Jack. This is a stakeout, okay?" Ed told him while he held him back and whispered in his ear while Joe continued to walk away.

"I don't appreciate you pushing me, detective!" Jack said while he got in the van and Anita closed the door.

"I'm sorry counselor, I will have a chat with Joe for that," Anita said sternly as Jack sat on the bench as he saw Alex was seated.

"This is the plans you had?" Jack asked annoyed.

"Yes," Alex said. Anita, Jack, Alex and the federal agent looked at the monitor and saw a woman walking in a warehouse that was around the corner to the van.

"Jack, your daughter is working undercover for the feds, we are helping them."

"What?" Jack said shocked as he saw a woman on the screen.

"Can you guys hear me?" Rebecca asked.

"We can hear you loud and clear, can you hear us?" Anita asked.

"Yes."

The agents stated they heard Anita and Rebecca while Jack leaned back with his mouth open.

"I don't think I can watch this."

"Counselor, just close your eyes and take a deep breath," Anita told him as Jack took a deep breath.

"Okay."

Everyone in the van looked nervous as they watched the screen then they heard the middleman arrived at the warehouse and got ready for him.

"Jack, I'm afraid this also means you can't talk or see your daughter until after this case and the cases she is involved in are over, Alex told him nicely.

"I know," Jack said sadly.

FBI agents were told the middleman was walking up to Rebecca. Everyone but Jack watched the video.

"Hi. Sorry for being a bit late but the traffic was a nightmare," the middle man told her.

"It's okay, traffic is always bad."

"Do you have the envelope?" The middle man asked as he looked around to see if anyone was around, which no one was.

"Yes, I do."

The agents saw that Rebecca gave the envelope to the middleman then he started to walk away. As soon as Rebecca was out of sight they converged.

"Freeze, FBI agents!" The federal agents shouted. The officers from the NYPD stayed behind to provide backup. Rebecca was taken away to a safe house by the federal agents.

Anita and Alex noticed Jack had a very unhappy expression on his face while he left the van. Jack went to his bike that was in the parking lot near the apartment, got on, then rode off into the darkness.

"I feel so sorry for him," Alex said as Anita shook her head.

Alex looked at her, shook her head then they went their separate ways.

Ed and Joe were driving back to the precinct while they talked.

"Joe, you were out of line for pushing Jack like that. Rebecca told us her dad didn't know that she was working for the feds. I think you should apologize to him for that."

"I'll think about it," Joe sighed. Even though he realized he was wrong for pushing Jack.

Jack's apartment 11:30pm—

Jack walked in to his apartment, closed then locked the door, and threw the key and helmet on the table. He walked to the cabinet, took out a bottle of scotch as well as a glass, sat down on the couch and poured himself a drink.

Jack looked at the clock, it was 12:00 as he finished his last sip of scotch from the glass. He put the stuff away, turned out the lights while he got ready for bed as. After he got into bed, he tossed for an hour then fell asleep.

In Jack's office at 8:30am—

Alex was working on the case in her office when she saw Jack walk by; She didn't say anything to him as he walked into his office, slamming the door behind him. Jack had a bad hangover but wanted to be with Alex when she began prosecuting her case. Alex continued working as she looked at the files for the witnesses then when it was time to go to court, she got up, took her bag and walked over to Jack's office. She noticed he was laying on the couch, with his arm under his head, he looked like he had fallen asleep so she left him alone and went to court.

In court—

Alex was examining the doctor who treated the defendant's wife.

"So she came into the emergency room, how many times?"

"Ten."

"For what reasons?" Alex asked as she stood near the witness stand.

"She had a broken wrist, cuts on her head, bruises and even a few fractured ribs."

"Did she say how she got them?" Alex asked.

"No. But I've been in medicine long enough to suspect abuse. And even the last visit she had, she had a broken hand as well as a broken wrist," the doctor said.

"No further questions," Alex said as she sat down on the seat Jack would normally sit.

The defense cross examined the witness then the witness was finished testifying and left the stand.

A few witnesses later, court was adjourned since the lawyer had another court hearing for that day. Alex began walking outside when she saw Jack walking up and he looked like he had some coffee since he was in his usual cheery mood.

"Why didn't you tell me that it was time for court?" Jack asked as he sipped the coffee.

"Because you looked like you were sleeping and after what happened last night-," Alex replied then was interrupted.

"No, no, no. You should have told me even if I was asleep. I want to be there for you in case you need some advice. So what's going on?"

"It's okay Jack, I can do it." She pleaded then continued, "The lawyer has some court hearings and we are adjourned till tomorrow."

She walked away from Jack who slowly walked behind her with hand in his pocket, then they both got to the office.

Later that night—

Jack decided to go for a ride on his bike on Long Island to clear his head. As he rode around the corner it happened—.
