"I'm a freaking front porch baby?" Eli yelled madly.
Gillian grabbed his arm and whispered, "Calm down."
"Like... Like Harry Potter?"
Cal awkwardly stood beside them and crossed his arms over his chest. "Chill," he added in.
Loker turned towards Cal and yelled, "He kept me! Someone dropped me off on his frickin' front porch and he just kept me! Where the hell is my real dad?" he asked, turning back towards Jason.
"Eli... please."
"I can't believe you would be just fine with lying to me about that!"
"Eli!" Gillian pushed in.
He glanced back at her and said, "Shut up... this is my business!"
"Hey!" Cal yelled. "Don't talk to her like that!"
Loker immediately bit his tongue and looked at his feet. "I'm sorry," he whispered.
Jason stared at him and said, "You're a good kid."
"You're a horrible person," Eli hissed.
"You're right. I shouldn't have kept you... it was completely inappropriate."
"Yeah it was."
"Well... I guess I just leave your life now, then?"
Cal stepped forward and said, "Any information on who he was for eight months before you got him? How long did you have him?"
"A week... I decided I didn't want a kid so I gave him away..." Jason whispered. "And... I have a blanket of his."
"And you kept it? You sent me out into the world with nothing? Not even a blanket?"
"I'm sorry, Eli."
"Alright, stop," Gillian said. "A note? Anything?"
"No... I'm sorry. Search his DNA."
"Yeah... well it'd be easier to find some relatives of his if we had more solid information," Cal mumbled. "Alright. Let's go. Eli..."
Loker looked up at him.
"I'm sorry it turned out like this... we weren't expecting it."
Loker nodded and shrugged.
Gillian took Eli's hand and then walked away from Jason. "I'm sorry," Jason whispered.
"Goodbye, Jason." Cal stuffed his hands into his pockets and walked awkwardly beside Gillian and Eli.

"How'd it go?" Ria asked desperately as they all walked in the door.
"He wasn't even my real dad," Loker mumbled as he passed everyone to the lab.
Cal tightened his jaw and Gillian sighed inwardly. "He's not very happy."
"What happened?"
"The guy - Jason Flatts," Gillian started to say.
"Found him on his friggin' front porch. And he kept the bugger. We're gonna find his real father. We got into this... we gotta figure things out."
Gillian smiled and said, "You're doing good, Cal. He really appreciates this."
"Well... he needs a dad, you know? I lost my chance... so help everyone else... right?"
"Totally." She smiled and walked with him to his office.
A/N: Awwww, poor Loker! Thanks for reading.
