Greg walked up to Danny and Baez.

"What are we looking at here?" Danny asked.

"John Hudson 39 years old He took one in the head one in the chest look to be a .45 casing but well have more information when we get a ballistic report," Greg explained.

"What do you see partner?" Danny asked.

"Any surveillance cameras?" Baez asked.

"There weren't any," Greg said.

"What's with the coat," Danny asked.

"Kid over there covered him before I got here...uh... Michael Hudson. He is the only witness the officers could find. He's the victim's son." Greg said pointing to a kid sitting on a bench.

"Thanks, we'll let you get back to your work," Danny said before walking over to the kid.

Alison walked up to the courthouse. Erin was standing out front.

"Hey sis you look like a cloud of rain," Alison said.

"It's Jack he's back in town. What are you doing here?" Erin asked. Alison looked down.

"I'm here for a deposition." Erin looked at her.

"The same deposition as Jack." Alison gave a small nod.

"Sorry I can't talk about it."

"I know well I shouldn't hold you just know he probably not going to be the nicest." Alison smiled.

"He's wrong so of course, he going to be in a bad mood," Alison said smiling before heading into the building.

Greg gave Danny a call.

"Anything on the tattoo," Danny asked.

"I was able to get something from Ricker's database. Raul Delgado six feet 170 pounds Gun Tattoo on the right side of his neck." Greg said.

"Alright, I'll have Baez look into it. Thanks, Greg." Danny said.

"Anytime I'll let you know If I get anything else," Greg said hanging up.

Alison and Greg were at a coffee shop for an afternoon date.

They were working opposite shifts this week while Stella was out of town.

"So Ally I was thinking that we could go to Las Vegas for Hodges wedding." Alison smiled taking a sip of her coffee.

"You want to show me your old stomping ground." Alison leaned forward on the table. Greg leaned over kissing her.

"I would have shown you sooner but Hodges and Wendy have been postponing this thing for years." Greg's phone went off.

"Well, that's good since I got our tickets." Greg laughed pulling his phone out.

"I wondered what you were doing the other day." Greg looked at the screen. "I need to take this." He stepped away from the table answering it.

"Frank." There was a long pause.

"Where is Alison?" The hair on the back of his head stood up.

"We're at a coffee shop what's going on." Greg turned glancing over at Alison she was writing in her notebook.

"Erin and Jack are being held hostage at the courtroom by Raul." Greg turned his back to Alison.

"What do you need? I have work in…" He looked at this watch. "An hour I can call Mac…" Frank cut him off.

"No, bring her by one PP." Greg's heart hurt. Alison was strong but her family didn't see her that way.

"We're on our way." Greg hung the phone up taking a deep breath. Knowing what he had to do he walked back over to Alison. She closed her notebook sensing his return smiling up at him. Her smile faded as he got closer. She put her things away standing up.

"What's going on." Her voice was cold and Greg could see her emotionally brace for the news.

"I'm going to drop you off with Frank." Alison closed her eyes. There was a slight tremble in her hands but in general, she was standing strong.

"Who." She opened her eyes looking at his.

"Erin." She didn't bat an eye.

"No Who." Realization dawned on him.

"Its Raul." Alison proceed the information. Before heading out the door her movements were calculated.

Alison's mind was spinning. She was doing her best to follow the coping steps she had learned, but this was Erin. Greg was trying to talk to her. To reassure her that everything was going to be alright but she wasn't listening to him.

Her ears were filled with the sound of a machine beeping. Greg reached overturning the music on it was one of the rock bands that he liked. She looked over at him.

"I'm fine." She didn't like how devoid her voice was. Greg glanced at her.

"I know I just don't know how Frank is going to handle it.

He is going to smother you Ally and try to protect you. I just don't want it to trigger anything. If it gets bad call me." Alison smiled she hadn't thought about it, to be honest. Greg had found triggers that she had never notice in the time that they had gotten married. If she was honest she appreciated it. If he found a new one he would write it down and add it to the list her therapist was working on. Then she would put it in two categories small or big. They pulled up to the building. Greg moved to get out of the car but Alison grabbed his hand.

"Go it's easier if I do this myself." He nodded kissing the back of her hand.

"Keep me up to date on what's happening." Alison nodded then headed up to her dad's office. She didn't bother to knock walking in. They had a tv with a live feed on the screen running. Frank's eyes were locked on the screen. Backer smiled at her. Alison slipped up next to her Dad.

"Dad," Alison whispered to him. He looked at her and she gave a nod. He hugged her.

"it's going to be okay Danny's on it." Alison looked at him.

"What if he has to use it?" Frank gave her a small smile.

"Then she is prepared to do it."

They sat at the table Nicky thanked Danny for saving her mom.

"Well, it was also your grandfather." Nicky looked over at this.

"Really," Jack said looking at his dad.

"When I say please don't hurt my family. What do you do?" Danny said looking at his sons.

"Drop to the ground because you're going to shoot the bad guy." The kids answered in unison.

"It was your grandfather that drilled it into our heads whenever we went into the city," Erin explained.

"It was Pop's who came up with the idea," Frank said.

"But we never had to use it." Henry smiled.

"I pray we never have to again," Frank said. Sean looked over at Alison.

"Did you have to use it." Alison looked at Danny. Taking a sip of her water.

"No, I never got to use it." They all looked at her. She downed her water. "I'm going to go get some more." Greg brushed her arm as she got up. Danny locked eyes with him.

"What's the matter?" Greg glanced at Sean and Jack.

"You might want to go talk to her. We're going on a trip to Las Vagas for a friend's wedding." Danny got up walking into the kitchen. He found her at the sink the water running. He walked over to her.

"Okay kid what's bothering you." Alison turned to look at him.

"Mac cleared another file off his desk this week."

Danny gave a small nod. The files on Mac's deck were the ones that were still open. Alison's had been there for years and in the past four years gone colder than ever. It was always hard to see another case get closed.

"Is that why you're going out of town." Alison smiled her hand rubbing her side. Danny hadn't seen her do it for years.

"No Greg's friends are getting married and we had always planned on going but it lined up with this." Alison turned the water off looking at him. "I need to be somewhere else." Danny reached out to touch her then stopped. She gave him a small nod and her grabber her arms so she was looking at him.

"I wish I could have saved you Al but know I'm here for you kid."

"I know Danny."
