"¡Me cago en diez!" Rafael hissed in frustration as he tried to pick up the papers that had ended up in complete disarray. "Noah James," Rafael said, raising his voice, something he greatly disliked doing, "you know not to touch my papers!" (Shit!)

The aforementioned boy made his way down to Rafael's study office and glanced up at Rafael a bit guiltily. "Sorry, Papi. I just..."

"Look at this mess," he said, irritation still slipping into his voice slightly as he gestured to the aforementioned disarray.

"I was trying to get the book and -" The boy trailed off nervously.

He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose harder than was probably necessary and taking a deep breath. He didn't remotely want to lose his temper with his son and knew it wasn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, even if it was a bit of a pain in his ass at the moment. "Está bien," he said as calmly as possible. "Just be more careful next time, okay, Mijo?" (It's fine.)

Noah gave him a small smile, nodding. "I will. Lo prometo." (I promise.)

He nodded, shooting the boy a small smile. Then he stepped forward, ruffling the boy's hair playfully. "Es todo lo que pido." (That's all I ask.)

Noah helped him pick up the papers, and Rafael quickly reorganized the papers, placing them back in his briefcase and heading out of his study with his son, locking the door behind them. Thank God they'd all woken up earlier than usual.

They'd just wrapped up a rather 'high emotions' case.

The police held an undercover sting operation on the train. They had heard about a new groper and so they staged several female detectives on this one train. These women waited. They were all assaulted by this one perp and so they made their move. They tried to arrest the guy and he ran. He ran into the crowd. He smashed up his phone and he threw it onto the tracks. He also began shouting police brutality when the police finally did catch him. The perp created such a stink that he ended up causing a riot and the police were attacked on their way of the station.

The perp's name was Duane Varick. He later pretended he bumped into the women accidentally and he knew the police had nothing on him. He completely ruined his cell phone. The police couldn't use that against him and so they tried looking for his other devices. They found out he worked with ICE. They knew that was Homeland Security's territory and so they played it safe. They went directly to Duane's boss. They went to Rory O'Toole and they asked him for his permission to check Duane's work computer.

O'Toole gladly gave it to them. There were many pictures on his computer that the detectives threatened to use it against him and so Duane lashed out. He cursed O'Toole's name. He said O'Toole only gave them his computer because he didn't want the police checking his own and so that's when Duane talked to his lawyer. It turns out he had his own story to tell. Duane alleged that O'Toole is abusing his right as an Immigration Attorney and using it to force women to have sex with him. O'Toole would threaten their visas if these women didn't comply.

Duane named names. SVU tried to talk to them and these women didn't want to go on record. They were all married. They didn't want to risk their marriages over what happened and so Olivia put together another string operation. This time she had two detectives pretending to be a newly married couple. The husband would need a green card and his wife is willing to do anything to keep him out of the deportation center. The detectives would be the perfect victims for someone like O'Toole.

The detectives played the part. They got O'Toole to fall for it and they arrested him the moment he tried to coerce a woman into sex. SVU arrested O'Toole for sexual extortion. They thought they had him dead to rights and so imagine Rafael's surprise when O'Toole's lawyer claimed O'Toole was merely testing them. The man was claiming that he knew the marriage was fake. He tested the wife to see if she would cheat and if she did then it couldn't be a real marriage. O'Toole was saying all of this because he knew the other women wouldn't come forward. And he was, unfortunately, right about that little fact.

O'Toole went after married women. He knew they wouldn't want their husbands to find out and the only one that had rejected him was awaiting deportation. She was also the only one willing to come forward. She alleged that O'Toole had sent her a message on her phone and she thought that her husband still had her phone. The detectives went to speak to the husband and that's when they found out that the husband was secretly sleeping with a man while his wife was locked up. And so they found out that her marriage really was fake.

Naturally, Rafael couldn't use that woman. The detectives tried finding another victim, and they did. They found Lina Vasquez-Boyd. Her husband had found out what was being said about O'Toole and he tried asking Lina about it. It seems Boyd's first wife had cheated on him. He was therefore paranoid about it happening again and he was taking it out on Lina. Lina's husband was checking her phone as well as following her sometimes. He was even getting abusive and so Olivia promised to help Lina. Help her so that she could leave her husband and not be deported.

Lina agreed to testify in exchange for help. She was all set to do it and then at the last minute, she pulled out because she learned she was pregnant. She didn't want her husband to think the baby wasn't his and so he could, in her mind, never know what happened. Lina chose her family and unfortunately that left Rafael without any corroborating witness. Rafael had tried in vain to push for more time. They didn't have much in the way of evidence and so they went back to an earlier victim that rejected them. They returned to her because this time they needed her help and they weren't afraid to tell her husband for her.

Thankfully, Rosamie Klein's husband was kind. He understood why she did what she did and he supported her as she agreed to testify. Just having her on board was enough to scare O'Toole. The man and his lawyer later agreed to take a plea deal. He confessed to three separate counts of Rape in the Third. He was going to do fifteen years and he'd never be in a position to hurt another woman. And so the squad did rather well, by all accounts.

It should have been an easy case to leave at him but all he could think about was his abuela, tía, and mother. Think about how easily they could have been taken advantage of by scum like O'Toole when they'd fled Cuba for a better life.

Then, everyone was freaking out over the Corona Virus which was becoming a bit of an epidemic. The number of confirmed cases in New York City was now thirty-six. That was sixteen new cases since yesterday.

Still, despite the stress, he didn't need to take out the irritation on Noah over a simple mistake. It wasn't Noah's fault.

Olivia, who was feeding their little girl, eyed him with slight concern as the pair walked into the dining area. "You two okay?"

"Yes," he said, "just a little accident. It's dealt with." He played with Sofía for a moment, getting Sofía to giggle happily.

Olivia eyed him pointedly, not dropping the subject. "Okay." She glanced between the two of them and pushed Rafael's coffee towards him. He gave her a warm smile as he nodded his thanks and she turned her attention to their son. "We're out of cheerios, so it'll be raisin bran this morning."

"I don't want cereal," Noah said, a whiny lilt to his voice. "I want tortilla de platanito."

Olivia gently eyed the seven-year-old. "Manners, Noah."

"Sorry, Mama." His son now eyed him. "Please, Papi? Por favor."

He checked the time. "Sure, Mijo." He took another sip of his coffee. "But you have to eat and not fool around when they're ready, understood?"

The boy nodded enthusiastically. "Thank you!"

He chuckled. "You're welcome. Do you want one, Liv?"

"No," she said, "but thank you, Rafa. I already ate. I will take a coffee refill, however, if you don't mind."

"Anything for m'lady," he quipped back as he turned to go.

His wife rolled her eyes fondly as he walked to the kitchen to go grab a coffee for his wife and cook some tortillas de platanito for both his son and himself. Thankfully, they didn't take too long to make, or he really wouldn't have had the time.

They ate and Rafael cleaned up while Olivia changed Sofía and chatted with Lucy. They then said their goodbyes and Rafael headed to arraignment court, leaving Olivia to drop Noah off at school.

"Have a good day, you little rascal." He gave the boy a warm smile as he spoke.

"I will," Noah replied, smiling back. "Te quiero, Papi." (I love you, Papi.)

"Quiero que sepas que te quiero también, Mijo." He looked at his son in the eyes as he spoke. "Lo siento por gritarte antes." (I want you to know I love you too, Mijo. I'm sorry about yelling earlier.)

"Está bien, Papi." His son wrapped his small arms around him for a hug, smiling up at Rafael, as he spoke. (It's okay, Papi.)
