Alison and Erin walking into the house. It was dark, and they had both had a long day.

"Hey, my favorite Granddaughters," Henry called out.

"Come on, Gramp's Erin can take it admit it I'm your favorite," Alison said, setting her messenger bag down, flashing him a smile. She flopped on the couch. It was her night off, and she wasn't bothering to drive all the way back to her apartment. She rubbed her side, trying to ease the pain.

"You alright." Her dad called from where he read the paper. Alison pulled her hand back. Glancing over at him, she tried not to let him see her do that. It only brought up memories.

"Yeah, it was a long shift." He looked over at her.

"I heard so why did jump the fence." She closed her eyes. That's what she gets since Mac was one of her dad's best friends.

"Messer was taking too long, and it could do it how was I supposed to know that they had a dog. We got the evidence, by the way." Her dad smiled at her.

"Good, just don't push yourself."

"Still playing with toys, Danny, that's cute," Erin said, pulling Alison back to their conversation. He had a remote-control car in pieces across the table.

"It's for my son's birthday Wanna help?" Alison shot up.

"If mom were still alive, she'd tell you it was beyond your skills," Erin called out.

"I do," Alison called out, getting to her feet with some effort ignoring her dad's look. Jamie walked in from the kitchen, setting down a mug of coffee.

"Finally, someone with a degree that can acutely help," Danny said as she looked over the plans.

"It's not my fault none of you weren't smart enough to become an engineer," Alison said, popping a piece into place.

"But that still didn't stop the call of blue did it, sweetheart," Henry said.

"Yeah." She stuck her left hand in her pocket to hide the fact that it was shaking. She was able to get about halfway through before her phone went off.

"Something tells me this is going to be a long night if they're already calling me in." She said, picking up her phone.

"Don't worry Danny, I'll help you finish it." She called over her shoulder, grabbing her bag.

"Hey, want am I supposed to do," Danny called after her. However, his phone went off, cutting his protest short. "Sis, can you give me a ride." Alison looked over at him.

"Only if Jackie is giving you a ride after that. I'm not losing my car again."

Greg met Alison at the police line.

"Sorry to call you on your night off, but this is going to be a big one, and your name was the next on the call list," Greg said, lifting the tape for her to cross under it. She smiled, pulling hair into a ponytail.

"Hey, it's part of the job. I would have done the same to you." They walked down the stairs and on to the train. There had been a subway robbery, and from the looks of it, someone got shot. "I'll start with the establishing shots if you work on the footprints." Greg smiled.

"Sound like a plan I knew I wanted you." Alison took a picture.

"Don't let Messer hear that I would hate to break up the dream team." Greg set a marker.

"Last, I check you, and I were the dream team if the competition last month showed anything." Greg smiled.

"Yeah, but I have a feeling Messer and Sheldon are going to give us a run for our money next time." Alison took a picture.

"It still seems strange that he gave up being a ME for this." Greg laughed, looking over at her.

"You forget who your talking to. I was a lab guy long before this." Alison held up her hands.

"I'm sorry if you're the example to follow. He will be passing me up in promotions in no time." Greg gave her a crooked smile.

"Listen flatter me all you want, but I'm not filling your reports out for you." Alison pouted.

"Fine, whatever, but remember that I came in on my night off."

They were in the middle of processing the scene when Alison's phone rang. She ripped off her gloves, pulling it out.

"Reagan" She listened for a minute then hung up. Taking off her other glove. She walked over to where Greg was marking a coffee cup that had been dropped. It probably wasn't from the suspects, but it could give them some information on the people that were on the train.

"They found one of the suspects dead from a gunshot a few blocks away." Greg looked at her, making a note on her clipboard.

"Well, do you want to prosses all this or the trail of blood." Alison looked around the train car; there was a lot that still needed to be done.

"Danny said it was about a block down the tunnel then pops out a service hatch." Greg held up a fist. They did rock paper scissors to decide. Greg groaned, and Alison laughed. "Have fun with your long walk I will be here in the well-lit train car." She called, turning back to the scene.

"Yeah, Reagan, I let you win." Alison stopped looking at him.

"No, you didn't. I am just really good." Greg picked up his bag.

"You keep saying that." With that, he turned heading down the tunnel working as he went.

Alison was looking over some evidence when her phone rang; it was her Dad. She put it on the speaker then turned back to her work.

"Hey, Dad, what's up." She marked another blood sample to be tested.

"We are going to take the website down." Alison turned to her computer to check her emails. There was a video online that showed the entire scene in the train car.

"Okay, we got our copy for the DA." She said, putting on new gloves to go back to the evidence.

"Good, how is the rest of it going." Alison paused at his comment. Looking over at her phone, weighing her answer.

"You like Danny can read the report when I am finished. You may be the commissioner, but that doesn't mean you can cut in line." He laughed. Alison never would give a heads up on the evidence. It could sway the investigation, and she wanted justice, not results.

"Love you." She smiled.

"Love you too." She hung the phone up, but before she could set it down, it rang again. This time it was Danny.

"Listen if you are trying to rush my report. I'm going to tell you the same thing I just told dad." She said, not hiding her frustration.

"We found the Samaritan. He is coming in for questioning I need someone down here to collect the evidence." Alison pulled her gloves off.

"I'll see if Greg can go. If not, I'll head down." She said then hung the phone up. Walking into the lab where he was working, she was greeted with deafening music and Greg dancing while looking through a microscope. She switched it off, causing him to whip around.

"What's was it too loud?" He asked when he realizes it was her.

"No are you available to go down to the station they found the Samaritan and need someone to prosses him." Greg pulled his gloves off.

"Yeah, I can go. I'm finished going through my evidence from the tunnel. Now you see that I let you win." He smiled, slipping by her. She watched him leave.

"No, you now have to spend your afternoon with my brother."

Alison was washing the dishes after Sunday dinner. She hadn't paid much attention while during the conversation. Danny and Erin walked in, holding more plates. She took them, adding them to sudsy water.

"Hypothetically, what would it take to get this thrown out," Danny asked. Alison and Erin froze. A knot forming in Alison's stomach.

"That's collusion Danny, you know we can't do that," Erin said.

"You have seen good people go away for worse before why this time," Alison asked, sitting on the counter. Whipping her hands with a towel.

"Maybe I can do something this time," Danny said Alison walked past him.

"I can't be part of this conversation." With that, she left the room just as Frank walked in.

Alison walked out to the station spotting Danny looking over the water.

"Hey, what are you doing." She called out, walking over to him. He glanced at him.

"I just wished I could help that guy out. He was a good guy that made a mistake." Alison nodded, looking out over the water.

"I know I'm sorry I couldn't help. I wish I could, but I can't risk the lab. Besides, we caught the people that help up that train car." Danny nodded.

"yeah, and now some dad that made a mistake as a kid could go away for a long time."

"What is this a family reunion," Erin called out walking over to them.

"Danny's upset with how this all went down," Alison explained, looking at her sister.

"You caught the guys right," Erin said.

"Yeah," Danny responded, looking at his feet.

"That's usually a good smile," Erin said, looking over at Alison.

"That's what I said. This good Samaritan Oliver Young guy really has him bugged."

"Somehow, it just doesn't feel like much of a win," Danny mumbled. "Make one choice to change your whole life forever."

"There are some that think that's true of every decision." Alison shivered slightly at Erin's words. Danny noticed this and tried to make the conversation lighter.

"Not really the metaphysical brother, you know." Alison snorted out a laugh as Erin mocked him. "Philosophical." Erin rolled her eyes.

"Okay, Anyhow, the reason why I detoured down here is because I had a conversation with Black Phelps. Oliver Young is already a local hero for standing up to Handsome, the one the held up the train and getting stabbed is turning him into a martyr, so Black doesn't think this as a career-maker." Danny perked up at this.

"Oh, Blake," Danny said with a smile.

"And I guess that DA agrees, so your guy is looking at probably a long probation on the gun charge. Like I told you, the law sometimes works these things out." Danny looked over at Alison.

"And why did you come by here to tell me you burned the evidence." Alison laughed, holding up her hands.

"No, I came by to tell you I finished that car for you." Danny and Erin laughed. "What can I say? I had to do something, and I can't pull strings like Erin can." Erin raised her eyebrow.

"What makes you think that I pulled strings." Danny tilted his head.

"Because you're a softy." Erin pushed him, then gave him a hug.

"Hey, I just wanted to see justice." Alison looked at her siblings, pulling her arms close around her body.

"I'm glad it all worked out this time."
