"What the hell are you doing? You put a gun in my face, then you pistol whip one of our guys?" Fin asked.

"That mouse job's one of yours?" Declan asked, upset.

"Okay, let's do the introductions later. You want to tell us what the hell you were doing back there?" Liv asked.

"I should ask you the same thing! Nine months I'm embedding myself in the trafficking ring, and you want to blow it with a super bowl vice bust? That's the dumbest riskiest day of the year!" Declan yelled.

"Okay, we're looking for a trafficked girl."

"Just one? I thought I taught you to think big. I'm tracking hundreds. I'm working for Johnny D." Declan said pacing.

"Johnny D we don't know him." Fin said.

"Of course you don't. That's what took me nine months to figure out. And now thanks to you I'm gonna have to spend a week at Riker's until that gun charge is dropped. I have the reins to you." Declan said.

"Okay I missed you to Declan. We're looking for this girl." Liv said.

"She alive?" Fin asked.

"In a sense. She's damage goods. Your friend Timmer did a number on her before he sold her to Johnny D. 800 bucks is all he got."

"Where does Johnny D keep her?"

"He's just brought the girl from me. He's never taken me to his lair."

"Buying wow. So now you're trafficking?" Liv asked.

"I'm earning his trust. And you do not relay that to 1PP." Declan said, frustrated.

"Then you tell Johnny D that you want to buy Ariel from him." Liv told him.

"You overplayed your hand. He's to smart, he'll smell the trap."

"Listen to me I made a promise to that's girls mother."

"That's a promise you're not gonna be able to keep. It's to late for Ariel. Those girls are so broken, they won't save themselves no one's gonna talk. Johnny D doesn't think twice about killing some whore or pimp. Even a cop." Declan said.

Later that night

"Uh, who's at our door?"

Liv got up to open the door.

"Melinda, everything okay?"

"I'm sorry to bother you at home, but I wanted to keep this off the books." Melinda said.

"Oh okay come on in. Keep what off the books?"

"I need to know the legal status of your relationship to Noah." Melinda said as she looked at Liv.

"What, why?"

"Just tell me. Have you started the adoption process?" Melinda sat in front of Liv.

"Well, there's a pile of paperwork. But the second that I'm allowed to adopt him. I will. What's going on?"Liv asked.

"There was a hit… on Johnny Drake's DNA when it went through the system. It was a familial match in an unrelated case and not discoverable in Drake's current case. He never needs to know."

"Needs to know what? What are you saying?" Liv asked, shifting Noah.

"What I'm trying to tell you… Johnny D is Noah's father."

After Melinda left, Liv sat there Noah in her arms. Her phone started ringing, seeing it was Raf she answered,

"Hey, mi amor."

"Rafa." She smiled.

"I won't be home tonight, Mami called and abuela is in the hospital."
"Is she okay?"

"Yeah, she fell in her apartment."

"You want me to come down?"

"No you and hijo stay home tell him papi's sorry he can't tuck him in."

"I will." She sighed.

"You okay, Liv?"

"Yeah, I need to tell you something, not over the phone though."

"Okay, I'll be home in the morning."

"Love you."

"Love you, too. Give Noah a hug and kiss for me."

"I will, love you."

"Bye mi amor."

"Bye, Rafa."

Liv got Noah settled,

"I wish papi would come home Noah."

Noah smiled at her at the word papi. After he was asleep Liv tried to sleep, not getting much without Raf beside her.
