"What do you need Barba?" Fin asked as he leaned back looking at Rita sitting on the corner of his desk.
"Will you trace Zach's phone down? He didn't come home."
"Sure." Fin started typing on his computer.
After a few minutes, Fin got the address, sending it to Raf's phone. After getting off the phone, he put the address into his phone. Fin texted saying he was on his way. As they drove Noah looked at his father, noticing how defeated he looked.
"It's not your fault, Papi."
"Isn't it? I should have been there for him."
"You have always been there for him." Noah tried to reassure him.
Pulling up to the address,
"Where are we?" Raf asked.
"It looks like a warehouse." Noah said.
A few minutes later, Fin pulled up with Rita.
"Zach's here?" Raf asked.
"According to GPS, he is."
"Isn't this where the local gang hangs out?" Noah asked.
"Yeah, how would you know that being in Brooklyn?" Fin asked.
"Cops from Manhattan came and talked. This gang travels from here to there."
"I thought you were a DA with SVU in Brooklyn?" Raf asked.
"I am, but I got a friend who transferred from SVU there to the gang unit in Manhattan. We kept in touch, they have been trying to get me to transfer, but I've stayed at SVU." Noah explained.
Fin and Raf looked at each other.
"Sonny's on his way, once he gets here we go look according to Zach's GPS in his phone he's here."
After a few minutes, Sonny came, getting out of the car.
"Anything on Zach?"
"Just that his phone is somewhere in that warehouse." Fin said pointing.
Sonny nodded.
"Barba, Noah, Rita you guys stay here in case he runs." Fin said.
Fin and Sonny went to the warehouse.
"Hey." Sonny whispered looking in a window, seeing Zach and a few others.
"What is he doing?" Fin asked.
They watched Zach fist bump someone, one of the other boys slipped something into his hand.
"Drugs?" Sonny asked.
"Maybe." Fin asked.
Fin texted Noah saying Zach was walking their way.
Back at the cars Noah, Raf, Rita were nervously waiting.
"Fin texted Zach's walking our way." Noah said.
Raf nodded looking for Zach. Finally, he came into the distance Noah circled around him just in case he tried to run, as Raf saw him.
"Zachary Blake Barba."
Zach looked up at Raf like a deer in the headlights.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, Dad." Zach rolled his eyes.
"Uncle Fin and uncle Sonny saw you with someone." Raf said, pointing behind him as Fin and Sonny came walking.
"It's nothing Dad." Zach started to walk away.
"Come on Zach, you're going home." Raf yelled walking toward him.
"No Dad I'm NOT! I got things to do!" Zach screamed at him.
Zach started walking away again.
"Noah!"
Noah ran towards him and Zach tried to run but Noah tackled him before he could get very far.
"Damn Noah, you should have been a cop instead of a lawyer." Fin said.
Noah shook his head and looked at Zach below him.
"Hermano Por que hiaste esto." (Brother, why did you do this?) Noah asked.
"Porque te importa?" ( Why do you care?)
"Because I'm your brother. I love you."
Zach just rolled his eyes, pushing Noah off him before walking to Raf's car getting in the back.
"What's his problem?" Sonny, Fin, and Rita all asked almost at the same time.
Rafael just shook his head.
"I wish I knew, he's been acting weird, grades slipping, being disrespectful, now this."
Fin walked over, opening the car door.
"Zach give it to me."
"What?" Zach asked with an attitude.
"Whatever drug that guy gave you in the warehouse."
Zach rolled his eyes giving Fin the packet. Fin walked over to the others.
"What's that?" Raf asked, knowing what it was.
"Drugs, Rafael." Sonny said, looking at it.
"What kind?" Noah asked after a few minutes Raf didn't answer.
"Looks like Heroin, if I had to guess." Fin said.
They were silent after a few minutes, they all said their goodbyes. Raf and Noah sat in the front seat while Zach sat in the back. They drove back home, Raf couldn't stay quiet.
"Why were you hanging around those types of people and having drugs on you?"
He could see from the corner of his eye Noah shaking his head. They got home Zach, the first one out walking to the door waiting for Raf to unlock it. Raf unlocked it and Zach headed straight up to his room, slamming the door.
"What now?" Noah asked.
"Let him cool down, let's check on Mami and Brook."
They both walked just outside of the living room, seeing both Liv and Brook on the couch, Brook half asleep, Liv worried.
"You get Mami and I'll get Brook, put her in her room. I'll sleep in my old room tonight." Noah whispered.
Raf nodded.
"Rafi, where was he?"
"In his room, we will talk in the morning, come on mi amor, let's go to bed."
They both took the girls to their rooms as Raf laid Liv down.
"Zach?"
"In his room, mi amor." Raf whispered, kissing her head.
Liv nodded,
"Where was he?"
"I promise I'll tell you tomorrow, just go to sleep."
Liv looked like she wasn't going to, but then nodded too tired to care at the moment, her baby was home and that was all that mattered.
"Love you, Rafi."
"Love you more, Liv." Raf whispered, stroking her hair soothing both her and him.
After watching her sleep, Raf got up walking downstairs into the kitchen. He shook his head as he got the scotch out, pouring himself a drink. He heard a noise, guessed it was Noah, he guessed right as Noah came around the corner into the kitchen.
"Nightcap son?"
Noah nodded, he handed him the scotch as Noah shook his head.
"No thank you." Noah said, walking over to the cabinet getting out a bottle of Liv's Cabernet.
"So much like your mother." Raf smiled.
"I wish my boyfriend could hear you say that he doesn't believe me when I tell him I'm adopted and show him pictures."
"You guys do look a lot alike, not to be related." Raf said, chuckling, then he frowned.
"What's wrong, Papi?"
"I'm worried, did I raise him right?"
"You raised all 3 of us right, look at where Brook and I came from on our father's side."
"Yeah, I know but just genetics doesn't make it okay, to do something like he did."
"I know. How about we get some rest and you, Mami, Brook, and I can talk then all of us can talk to Zach? Sounds good?" Noah asked.
Raf nodded.
"Goodnight Papi."
"Night Mijo."
