"Who are they?" Ross asked.

"That's Tessa Rankin, and her kids, Natalia and Jack," answered Nichols, observing, "lookin' pretty damn good."

"What are they doing here?"

They watched Goren escort them to the elevator, his arm draped around Jack's shoulders, his fingers linked with Natalia's.

"Years ago, during a hostage situation, Gerry Rankin almost blew his kid's heads off," Nichols' eyebrow lifted, "shotgun. Goren talked Dad down, saved their lives. Mom considered it a new birthday."

"That explains the cake. I'll have to read that file."

"While you're at it, take a peek at the Colter case, too."

Ross sighed.
