A/N: Apologies for it taking a while, my head really hasn't been in the mode to write but here it is finally. I have noted that the Berry's will be shown and I guess I have them a little different in this story however you may see something a little different in this chapter in response to the clip I have seen of them for this weeks glee. I hope you enjoy this chapter. This one seems a bit filler like but the next chapter will be a lot better.

Chapter 4: Patience is a virtue

Trying to get information from the department wasn't going to be an easy task. He knew this as he stood there waiting to be seen. It wasn't his case but it effected him personally and he couldn't stand not knowing a single thing even though it was highly against regulations. He wanted the man behind bars or at least in custody. He would be lying if he didn't want to have a shot at him. He should at least be allowed to for the case of the missing kid. Luke Marson, aged 12, snatched from his home and asked for ransom. They didn't know who had taken him or why however he knew the kids family and was threating blackmail. He'd even gone as far as to publish person things in the press. There was more to this man and Finn knew it.

He paced a little, wondering if he should turn around and go back, looking at the clock didn't assist in the matter. He had come all this way and yet now he knew it was pointless. He was just so pissed at Jeff. Why hadn't he called? Why was nothing getting resolved? Why this wait? It frustrated him. It wasn't like his colleague but somehow deep down he knew he would get the information eventually he'd just lost it with patience. Finn sat down in the seats and ran his hand through his hair.

Half an hour passed and soon he was seen, this was normal unless it was someone reporting a crime which was always taken right away. The officers were always busy working on cases and getting things done and if it wasn't too serious then they would have to wait. Gathering evidence, seeing to victims and criminals was always their first priority.

"Detective Hudson…I have been informed on the matter you speak off and I sadly cannot give you any further information on this case, as you know it strictly prohibited to give out information as this case crosses over professional with personal."

"I know…I was stupid….I shouldn't have come here…it's just…I know I can't get any specific information regarding my partner's victimisation but I was head detective of the case of Master Marson…"

"I understand that sir but due to recent matters you have been moved off this case and as I have been informed and checked the records you are on leave until further notice regarding your personal connection to this case."

He nodded.

"Ok…I understand…"

"I'm sure when the time is right you will be asked for your insight on Master Marson's case, until then I am sorry but I cannot give you any information."

"Thanks anyways…"

It was bad enough he had been getting information from Jeff, he shouldn't have an incling that they are in Boston searching for him. He shouldn't know he is on the run. He knew it was wrong and he realy didn't want to land Jeff in anymore trouble. If they knew what he was doing he would most likely be told to leave the case and face a ban from the force.

"I'm sorry sir, I know this is a difficult time for you…"

Unlucky for Finn the officer had gone to the chief to check what information he could give out and what he couldn't. The chief knew what the angle of this all was and decided to take It upon himself to come out and speak to him. Detectives who got mixed up in these crimes usually came in like this, demanding information and trying to use their authority to do so. It wasn't uncommon but the chief wanted to speak with him to reassure him.

"Finn my man, its good to see you, how is she doing?"

Finn had turned around to walk out and gulped as he heard the chiefs voice…he knew it wasn't a good sign "S-Sir…Oh…well s…s-she woke up…from her coma…she seems ok…but you never know…it would probably the medication talking…"

"I'm glad to hear…come to my office we can talk more in there…"

The chief guided him along to his office and had him take a seat.

"Look, I know why you are here and if I'm honest I was expecting you to drop by…I can't say its uncommon in this work."

He poured Finn a bourbon, he was sweating, he hated the fact he had been rumbled. Not only that he was terrified for Jeff.

"I know why you suggested Jeff to do this, you two are the best we have…and I know you trust him. He is one of our best alongside you and I know if anyone can do it, he can. However you know how this looks…I wanted to deny it but…I just couldn't."

He sipped his bourbon as did Finn. Finn really didn't want to drink right now but it was always classed as rude to refuse a drink from the chief.

"People right now are worried about the force and are questioning it's ability to do its job right with these two events, we are on a very thin line. I won't be surprised if the higher up's get in on it and for sure we will be in fire for an inspection."

Finn gulped. He wasn't looking forward to that.

"You are aware you have been moved, Jeff is not on the case with Luke, someone new from Washington flew in, I'm sure he will be wanting to speak with you about all you know and of course be aware you will even be questioned about the reasoning behind Rachel."

Finn nodded. "Of course Sir. I'll do my best"

"For now, even though I know all this is going to be hard you just need to take some time to be away. This is a personal even that has shocked you and the nation…can't say I've seen nothing but this in any of the papers. Just focus on your family…we will catch him and throw him behind bars. It's frustrating I know but it will be sorted soon son I know it."

"Yes sir…I'm sorry…"

"Yeah, I know you told our co-officer to get Jeff to call you, I intersepted that, please don't let me find you two speaking to one another, I really don't want to have to fire you and have my job on the line too."

"Again sir…I'm sorry…"

"I know you are kid…you just want some clearance…the amount of times people who have been officers and their partners getting involved in some crime or another or injured has been countless. I've dealt with a few in my time…even when I was lower ranked, it's hard…you want to know things…it's hard, its frustrating…just wait for it to come out and to be called, you will know then and only then."

"I got you boss."

"Good, I'm glad to know that Rachel is getting there and that you are doing alright. Let's take it a day at a time eh?"

Finn nodded and shook his hand. "Thanks for not dobbing us in…"

"Just don't give me anymore reason to and we will be square…now off with you, I'm sure your girl will be wanting your attention."

Finn smiled and nodded.

"Give her our best, I'm sure I'll be seeing her sometime soon anyways…"

"I will thank you sir, she'll be happy to hear."

Finn finished his bourbon and then walked out, heading straight back to the hopsital.

Rachel had woken up. She wasn't too happy with Finn as she knew how wrong it was.

"Why does he not think sometimes? He could get fired for this…"

"He won't honey…they won't let it get that far, Finn was doing very well on that case right?"

"C-Call him….please…I know his emotions…I don't want him going doing something he'll regret…"

"Sweetheart he won't…even if he gets angry the force are used to things like this…they'll cool him off…"

Rachel sat with that angry look on her face. It wasn't too long before he appeared again. He saw the look on Rachel's face and looked down.

"You can take that look off your face Finn Hudson…you know you are now allowed to just go off and try and find information like that…it's against the rules!" she said with a tone.

"I…I know…I'm sorry…I had a talk with the chief…I won't be going back…"

"Oh great so you got yourself fired…just fantastic…"

"Rachel, honey…"

"I haven't been fired…I mean I won't be going back for information…I'm sorry I wondered off and didn't think and I know you are pissed…and worried about me…I just didn't think…I know it was stupid."

Rachel sighed. "Well..I'm glad you aren't being fired…just…just wait ok…you know its even harder for me…I can't even walk."

"It's hard for you both, you are being a little irrational dear.." said Le Roy.

"It's hard on us all…look I get you are both angry at one another but…mistakes have been made…Finn won't go back again and you need to heal…sometimes it's easier to hear from the man at the top…even we spoke to you didn't we Finn and it didn't work…you know just like sometimes it's best to be told by a professional in musical theatre that your good before you believe it."

Rachel looked down. She understood completely she was just being stubborn.

"I'm sorry Finn…"

"It's ok…I'm stupid should think before I rush off."

"It's fine…"

"Well I'm glad all is well…we'll just have to pay attention to the news." mentioned Hiram

"W…we can watch it" stated Rachel.

"Now is not the time for you to be worrying about that, you need to be getting better." Le roy stated.

"Mhm, I agree, have the nurses been?" asked Finn

Rachel nodded. "Yeah…the wounds a little better…it'll probably get sore any day soon though…there wanting to lower the dosage of morphine down it's a bit too high at the moment"

"Isn't it too soon for that?" Finn wondered.

"She was in a coma for a few days, bodies heal miraculously fast when in that state." Hiram explained.

"Oh…" nodded Finn. He had no idea on anything biological.

Rachel smiled. "I'll be good as new before you know it."

"One step at a time sweetheart…" Le roy assured, he knew Rachel was partial to seeing the best of things too quickly sometimes.

Rachel nodded. "I know…I know…one day at a time."

"That's the spirit"

Finn rubbed her arm and kissed her cheek. It wasn't long before it was dinner time, she struggled a little but had managed to eat more than the day before, that alone was minor progress. Finn was patient with her. They conversed for hours after until she couldn't keep awake anymore and dropped off to sleep. She was so wrapped in Finn after getting mad at him. It was common of her to do that. She was so wrapped up in him that if he moved she would awoken. He smiled and watched her sleep. Finn looked over at her Dad's and handed them his work phone.

"I don't want to wake her…if it buzzes take it…its my work phone so…any news..thought I doubt there will be anything since I was told that I wouldn't know anything."

They both smiled and nodded.

"Do you want a coffee?"

"That would be great thanks."

"We'll be back in a jiffy then"

Finn smiled but then furried his eyebrows from not understand the phrase. He then looked back down at Rachel who was sleeping. Her chest slowly moving up and down. He instantly had a smile on his face. She was the most beautiful girl he'd never seen. He ran his hands down her arms. She didn't stir. She never did, she always fell into a deep sleep in his arms. He took this as an indication of how safe she felt with him and how much she trusted him. He moved the loose strands from her hair from her face and let her sleep.

Much to his luck this night would be a little more restful. It wasn't long before Le Roy Berry came back, the phone in his hand. He looked at Finn with his usual serious but somehow happy face.

"They have him…he's locked up…"

Finn slowly shot up, it made Rachel stir and wake up.

"Hmmm…what's the matter Finn…?" she said as she rubbed her eyes.

Finn looked in shock but he was truly happy. He wrapped his arms back around her and nodded.

"They…they got him…finally…" his face was scarily happy.

Le Roy paid complete attention to his face and his reaction, he was indeed a little worried, he'd never seen this face before.

"He'll never hurt a single soul on this planet again…"

Rachel looked at him too bit concerned.

"He won't…never again…" she rolled off him and was rubbing his stomach, looking up at him with wet worried eyes.

"I…I have so much energy…I can't…I need to…"

"Do you need to let off some steam…?"

Finn nodded, he scrunched up his hand and slowly walked.

"I'll come with you…might be best…" said Le roy.

"Are you o-" Rachel asked before Hiram cut her off with a single finger and a shhh.

Rachel looked worried and the two of them winked at her.

"We'll be back in a moment."

Rachel looked at Hiram and awaited for them to go.

"He'll be ok, sometimes new's like this can get you a little worked up, a good long walk will fix it, he just needs to let off that steam…that satisfaction yet anger that he wasn't the one to capture him"

"I hope he doesn't do anything stupid…"

"That's why your Dad is with him, you know how good he is with calming people down."

"I though that was Xanax…"

"Sometimes…but how many times has he never given it to you when you got upset about things?"

Rachel titled her head and thought. "It's true…"

"He is a magician that man, it's one reason I married him…also he can drive…I never much was fond of that…"

"Oh my…be thankful for that fan club then hmm?"

"Clubs are a good thing, I'm sure you agree."

"I do, indeed I do."
