You're not supposed to be working or something like that–Beard said when he saw Lexi enter his office.

If you want I can go, believe me I'll find something to do–Lexi pointed to the door behind her.

Don't be silly come, but you really shouldn't be working–

The captain took the team on an exercise, they're going to evaluate them –Lexi sat on the edge of her desk across from him.

And you are not with them because –

I belonged to the SWAT for a year, plus the FBI is constantly evaluating the performance of the agents, believe me my aim is good enough I don't need to embarrass others–

Always so confident– Beard gave her a smug smile as his hand went up her thigh– because you never wear a dress–

Where do you think I'd put my gun? –Lexi questioned him with one of her eyebrows.

I don't know, we could find out something–Lexi smiled as she leaned in to capture his lips in a hugging kiss.

You have a lot of work–Lexi asked, glancing at her desk and the papers scattered on it.

Nothing I can't do later, that you have in mind–

Your mom wants us to eat with her–

You're talking to mommy –Rafael said, widening his eyes.

I call, that you wanted me to make me hang up–

You know he won't leave us alone, right–

Your family shut me up well Rafi, come on I want to eat something don't be grumpy– Lexi got up from the desk and went to the door while Barba put away his things and closed the briefcase to follow her.

...

Lexi let out a groan while the sound of her cell phone took her out of Morpheus's arms, she had recently succumbed to sleep, and she stretched her hand, feeling the bedside table in search of her cell phone.

Cabot– he answered even with his eyes closed, he knew that if he opened his eyes, everything would become serious and the dream would escape him.

Lexi– Olivia's voice greeted her on the other side.

Liv, what's up– sitting on the bed when she recognized her friend's tone of voice–

Rollins killed his sister's boyfriend–

What did that– Lexi was now awake, next to her, Beard growled at her high–pitched tone.

It was self–defense, he was abusing his sister and he had a gun, he was going to shoot her it was self–defense AI is getting in to investigate everything–

Don't say a word, don't let her talk to her sister, send me the address I'll see you there–

Thanks Lexi–

Lexi got up from the bed and started looking for clothes.

What's up– Barba's voice came hoarse and thick from sleep, any woman with blood in her veins would get wet from it, shaking her head took those thoughts out of her mind as she continued dressing.

Rollins killed his sister's abusive boyfriend–

I won't defend her –he said after raising his frown in surprise.

No one is asking for it, apparently it was in self–defense

When it comes to family, I doubt it –said Barba as he leaned back.

Rollins is a good cop

Why you should go – he complained as he watched her go through her wallet.

I'm supposed to be part of the team–

You're still from the FBI–

Stop complaining, go sleep, see you later–

If you show up this week–

You really are unbearable without caffeine in your veins – he approached and gave her a kiss on the lips without letting him catch her – like a good child you must share – Barba rolled his eyes and before he walked away gave him a spanking.

Come back soon–

I will do it–

To say that Rollins' case had been easy was to lie, if they had asked her if the sister was capable of doing what she did without an interview, she would have said yes, you could see the greed above that had her at the door of a room waiting for Rollins to come out to talk to her.

You shouldn't be here –he said when he saw her leave.

How did you find me? –

It was not so difficult to guess, come on, you need a drink–

Yes, I'm not sure I'm the best company–

You don't need to be, you just need to listen–

Exactly what–

A story – Lexi said as she started to walk, but with only a few steps she stopped and turned to look at her – you come – raising an eyebrow – Rollins thought about it for a moment and then followed her.

...

Well, we're here and we've had more than one drink–

Believe me I need more than one drink, but you're right– Lexi leaned back and crossed her arms over her chest– I don't know if you know but you know but I am adopted, the Cabot family adopted me when I was eight years old, before that my family I was the head of one of the most dangerous cartels in Mexico, when the FBI managed to dismantle it, my family did not want to take me in, my nanny and the gardener infiltrated, I knew it and they took me in, my brother grew up and started the business again, I infiltrate and kill the cartel–

What happened to your brother? Asked Rollins.

I turned him in, given that he had relevant information on national security, the CIA took over, not his whereabouts or how it is–

Why are you telling me this, my sister is not a drug dealer–

I'm telling you this because we can't be responsible for the decisions our brothers make, they made their decisions, and they don't deserve the sacrifice, if she's your sister, but I've already made a decision–

Look Alexandria, I respect you a lot and you are a great agent, but your situation is very different from mine–

Yes, but you must learn to let go of things Amanda or that will destroy you–

...

You started without me – Rafael said when he arrived and found Lexi in front of a window with his eyes and a glass of whiskey in hand.

I needed a drink tonight–

How are things at the police station – he said as he put down his briefcase and took off his jacket and tie.

Not good at all, Rollins will have to learn the hard way but he cannot watch over his sister if she is going to get hurt, and soon he will realize that his sister will not risk anything for her–

"You're fine," Rafael said as he wrapped his arms around her and took the glass from her to take from him and give it back to her.

Yes, I'm just tired, don't worry, sometimes she can't help but remember–

Rafael did not say anything, he knew that the memories often haunted Lexi's nights, he tightened her in his embrace and let her hold against his body.
