Summary: John Munch and Odafin Tutuola have successfully adopted Robin Magnolia, who is now 6 years old. When she gets kidnapped, what are they to do? Can they save her before it's too late?

John Munch awoke to the alarm, his partner, Odafin Tutuola sleeping soundly beside him. He decided to let him sleep for a little while more, so he crawled out of bed and got into the shower. After getting out and getting dressed, he went to Robin's room. 3 years ago, they had gotten out of their apartment and had bought a house. John smiled as he caught a glimpse of the calendar. He and Fin's anniversary was coming up next week.

They had gotten committed in Massachusetts and gotten a marriage license. They didn't call themselves husbands, just partners, but they did know of each other as their spouse.

Approaching Robin's bed, he gently ran his fingers through his daughter's hair. As her eyes fluttered open, John smiled. "Morning, Munchkin." That was his little nickname for her. "Morning, Daddy John."

That was her nickname so she could separate them. John was Daddy John and Fin was Daddy Fin. "Get up and get dressed, it's almost time for school."

A kiss, and he was gone. Fin was currently in the shower. John came into the kitchen and poured him and Robin a bowl of cereal. Robin came in dressed in a blue skirt and a white button up blouse. Her red hair flowed over shoulders. She looked so mature for her age, yet still unbelievably cute. He picked her up and kissed her forehead. "Eat your cereal, Robin. We have to leave in a few minutes."

Fin came in and wrapped his arms around his partner. "Morning."

A kiss. "Morning."

"Whose turn is it to take Robin to school?"

"Yours, at my count." John grinned. "But I'll make it worth your while. He caressed the back of Fin's neck.

"You'd better." Fin said, with an equally large grin.

Fin arrived at her school and let her out, but not before giving her a kiss. "Have a good day at school, baby."

"Bye, Daddy Fin." She ran off to join her friends.

Fin smiled and drove to the precinct. Elliot and Olivia were there drinking coffee. "Hey, Fin. How's Robin?"

"Perfect as always." Fin and John had become great friends with Elliot and his wife, Kathy, and had chosen them to be Robin's godparents. Elliot was always concerned with how she was doing.

"Who's our latest vic?" John asked as he poured a cup of coffee.

"Manny Esposito, 42. Shot dead in a cab." They handed him the file.

Fin sat down at his desk and started work on the case. He took a quick glance at his picture of Robin on his desk. But he and John had no idea the tragedy that was about to unfold…

Robin was walking to the bus stop, getting ready to go home. "Hi, Al." she greeted the bus driver. She considered him a friend. "Hello, Robin."

She got on the bus, and waited for a little while, until he stopped. "Get off here."

"But this isn't my stop."

"Oh, your daddy called. He'll meet you here."

"Oh, okay." She trusted him. She got off with her backpack, and walked off the bus. As Al drove away, she noticed she didn't see either of her daddies. All she could see was a dark-haired man. He looked around to make sure nobody was around, and he grabbed her. "Let me go! Stop! Help!" But as he clamped a chloroformed handkerchief over her mouth, she eventually stilled and silented. He gently put her in her car.

Elliot and Olivia were cross-referencing files while John and Fin were out interrogating suspects. They paused when they heard the captain yelling from his office. "Elliot. Olivia. In my office. Now."

They walked in and saw the shock in his eyes. "Robin's been kidnapped."

They looked at each other in shock.
