Disclaimer I do Not own the Fosters.


Mike sat in the kitchen staring at a can of beer. He wanted to drink it, to let it wash over him and take over but he had to be strong because Stef and Lena and the Kids needed him. He knocked the can to the floor in frustration. He had no idea how Liam escaped but like Stef, he would make sure the others were safe.

Marianna.

Marianna was in the boy's room laying in bed with Jude while Jesus was in her room. Marianna was scared not just for herself but for Jude who Liam threatened to hurt once before and Sophia who looked like Callie before the foster care system fucked her over. She thought if Liam knew about Sophia he might go after her. Jude hadn't said a word since the hospital but it was clear he was thinking.

"Why couldn't Liam stay in prison, why did he have to hurt Callie again, and how come Callie is always a target" vented Jude angry.

"I don't know," said Marianna staring at the ceiling.

"I used to wonder why Callie never prayed when our christen foster parents told us to but I know now," said Jude.

"Whys that?" asked Marianna curious.

"Because there is no such thing as god!" said Jude with venom in his voice.

Brandon.

Brandon tried to play the song he made about the family long ago but every time he got to the part that represented Callie it hurt to play and sounded wrong. Her piece just sounded so wrong to him that it killed the song every time. Brandon tried to play something else but his thoughts kept going to Callie. He kissed her the day mom's got married thinking she loved him but ran away scared, he didn't understand that until he showed up at Girls United and she confronted him with a baseball bat. Stef and Lena got everything sorted and she no longer believed he would hurt her but she would never love him the way he loved her. Brandon pulled out his phone and called someone.

"Dude!, I'm trying to sleep!" moaned Lou.

"I think I know what to do with the Hopeful King," said Brandon.

"Wait seriously?" asked Lou excited.

"Yeah, but we need to change it to a...Final Ballad" said Brandon.

"Why what's going on?" asked Lou concerned.

"Liam escaped prison and now Callie's in a coma," said Brandon.

"The white knight needs to let go of the fractured princess," said Lou.

"The world should know of the Dragon and his carnage," said Brandon.

"Fine I'll be there," said Lou

Jesus.

Jesus laid in Callie's bed staring at a white mask with blue roses and red-eye holes. It was something Grandma Sharon got Callie a while back. Like Callie, it was unique and showed off the oddball side of her personality that was rarely ever seen. Jesus couldn't help but smile at Callie's freak out over the mask the more he looked at it.

Flashback.

Marianna was talking rapidly to Sharon about something while at the mall but neither Jesus or Callie were listening. Jesus would stop and look into various stores but nothing in particular. Marianna wanted everything and Callie didn't say much.

"Hey, Callie you hungry doll?" asked Sharon turning around.

It was then they noticed Callie wasn't with them. They looked around until they saw her staring into a shop window. Sharon put one finger to her lips then had Jesus and Marianna tiptoe until they were nearly behind Callie. Before Sharon said anything she followed Callie's line of sight until she landed on the mask. It was a white mask with blue roses and red lined eye holes.

"Hey Cal what's up!" said Sharon smiling.

"Fuck!" gasped Callie as she jumped in shock.

"Do you see how high she jumped!" teased Marianna.

Callie's face turned pink as she tried to act casual.

"So you like that mask Cal?" asked Sharon now staring at it.

"It's pretty," said Callie after thinking about it.

"Pretty? that thing is tacky" scoffed Marianna.

Sharon smiled knowing Callie never ask for it nor spend her money on something she didn't need. Sharon slipped into the store and talked with the man at the register. The man to Callie's horror grabbed the mask and rang it up. Sharon paid for it then came out handing it to Callie.

"No Grandma no I can't accept this, please return it!" begged Callie.

"Nooope!, besides it was only $5 and truth be told I would have spent a lot more just to get it for you," said Sharon blowing her off.

"Then let me pay you back!" said Callie worriedly reaching for her pocket.

"You pull money out that pocket and I'll make sure Stef and Lena ground you for a year," said Sharon jokingly.

"Do you honestly believe any punishment they are going to give me is going to scare me?" asked Callie in a bored tone.

Sharon thought about for a few minutes.

"You have a point, ok then how about you go to therapy as the way to pay me back," said Sharon.

"Can you take the money?" asked Callie begging.

"Nope," said Sharon smiling.

"Fiiiinnnee!" groaned Callie.

Now.

Sharon had managed to trick to Callie into going to a therapy session for every dollar Sharon spent on her that day. Which was what tomorrow would have been about. Lena called this mask Callie's healing face and that's what it had been called since but now it was just a lump of plastic. Jesus knew he was stronger than Brandon and even Wyatt who had both fought Liam. He knew he could handle himself in a fight and he knew where Liam's mother lived as they had driven past it once only for Jude to point it out, he could pay her a visit and find out where Liam was.

"Fucking bastard probably attacked Callie from behind" snarled Jesus as he left the room.
