I woke to my phone ringing. I sat up and grabbed it from my table next to my bed. "Amaro." I said groggily as I heard crying on the other end.

"Miss. Lina?" said as familiar voice.

"Angelica? Honey what's wrong? It's almost three in the morning." I asked as I finally woke up.

"Have you heard from Eliza? I'm really worried about her." Angelica said as I rubbed my eyes.

"Yeah, Angelica she is staying at my apartment right now. She told me things at home are really tense. Eliza told me about her arranged engagement." I said as I heard Angelica sigh.

"Yeah… Daddy is upset about it and we just want to make sure she is okay." Angelica said as I felt my heart break.

"She is fine; I promise okay?" I asked as she nodded.

"I'm sorry to be calling this early. I just am really worried." Angelica said as I nodded.

"I know sweetie. Why don't you and Peggy come over tonight after I get off from work and we can all talk about what has been going on." I said as I heard Peggy whispering.

"Peggy wants to talk to you?" Angelica said as I gave a small smile. "Put her on." I said with a small laugh.

"Miss. Cat?" Peggy asked as I smiled at her voice.

"Yes Peggy?" I asked as I felt the mood change.

"Eliza called earlier saying our friend is not dead… Is that true?" Peggy asked as I sighed. "Yeah sweetheart it is." I said as I heard gasps and burst of exclamation.

"Really?" Peggy asked hopeful.

"Yeah. He is. Peggy, honey you and your sister need to go to sleep okay? I'll talk to you girls tomorrow." I said as I said goodnight to them. I put my phone back on my nightstand and started to go back to sleep. I woke up to my alarm and climbed out of bed. I walk over to my closet and pulled out a white button down, a black and white patterned sweater, and a pair of black jeans. I slipped into a pair of black boot heels. I started to walk out when I saw Eliza sitting at the kitchen table stirring a mug. "Morning Eliza." I said as I pulled out a mug and filled it with coffee.

"Morning…" Eliza said softly.

"Did you sleep well?" I asked as she nodded as I looked at her fiddle with the sliver band on her finger. "Eliza, hon do you have school?" I asked as she shook her head no.

"We are still in winter break." She said quietly as I finished my coffee.

"Well, if you want you can hang out here." I said as she nodded.

"Do you think Angelica and Peggy can come over?" Eliza asked.

"Of course sweetheart. They can keep you company." I said as I grabbed my shield and gun. I grabbed my coat as Albert trotted around following me. "I might be home around dinner. If anything happens call me or the prescient okay." I said as I wrote my number and my work phone down on a piece of paper.

"Thank you..." Eliza said softly as I smiled at her.

"Anytime hon." I said as I tied my coat around my body.

"I'll check in later okay." I said as I started to walk out. I closed the door and started to walk to work. I walked in and saw Carisi leading Benny back into "The Box".

"Morning Lina." Amanda said walking in with a box of donuts. "Morning Manda. Anything new after I left?" I asked as I grabbed a chocolate donut.

"No… well minus the club still streaming the torture of the kid. We keep trying to trace any signals from Gomez's computer." Amanda said as I watched Liv and Fin walk out of her office.

"Hey, what was going on with the young girl that came by last night?" Amanda asked as I sat down at my desk.

"I helped raise her and her sisters. She came by because she was going through some family stuff and I'm the closest thing to a mother those girls got." I said sadly as Carisi and Nick walked back from "The Box".

"Sarge, Gomez refuses to talk to anyone but Catalina." Carisi said as I perked up. "Did Barba work out a deal with him?" I asked as Liv nodded. "He said that he will give names and times but won't give a location." Liv said as I got up and took off my coat.

"Let me at him." I said as I through my hair into a messy bun and tied it back.

"Cat try to get a location." Liv said as I started to walk in.

"Copy that Sargent." I said as I walked in and came face to face with Benny.

"Bennito? I heard you made a deal." I said as he took a sip of coffee.

"If I cooperate, then I only go to jail for the kidnapping for ten years." Benny said smugly as I sat in front of him.

"Benny can you please tell me where the boy?" I asked as he shook his head.

"I gave you people name and times, I don't know where the boy is." Benny said.

"Benny where did you drop John Laurens off?" I asked as Benny ignored me.

"Bennito por favor, dime dónde está el niño?" I asked as Benny put his head down on the table.

"I dropped the kid off at a park, we made the transfer and I got my payment." Benny said as I pulled out my notebook.

"Who did you give him to?" I asked as he looked away from me.

"Benny, this kid has people who love him. Please tell me where he is." I said as he started to stand up. "I don't know where he is. I only got the guys username and he said to meet him in Central Park when it was around ten thirty." Benny said as he started to pace around the room.

"Benny, what was the guy's username?" I asked as he looked at me.

"JPRED." He said as I wrote it down. "What did he look like?" I asked as he shook his head no.

"He wore a ski-mask over his face. It was dark and I didn't see anything else." Benny said as I got up.

"Alright, I think I have enough from you." I said as I opened the door and walked out.

"Book him for kidnapping." I said as I walked into the squad room and went to the area where we had a TV set up for the Chess and Checkers count down.

"I got a name, we just need the video feed from central park." I said as Liv walked over to me with the others.

"We have been searching and scanning the feed for the past hour and found nothing." Nick said as he sat next me.

"What about ten thirty late last night it's when we got the call of the boy's body." I said as Rollins started to look at the feed.

"I think we have a license plate for Gomez and for an unknown black van." Rollins said as we all watched in horror as we saw Gomez carry a blanket covered John Laurens and place him into the back of the van.

"Rollins did you get the license plate?" I asked as she nodded.

"Ran it through the DMV." Rollins said as I started to run through the request history from Laurens while trying to ignore the terrible sounds of his rape and torture and Laurens screams.

"Okay the nickname that Gomez gave me. But the nickname is the name for the person who is heading the video." I said as flicked my hands in frustration.

"Well we have a name for the van. A Mister. James Reynolds." Rollins said as I tried to trace the IP address.

"Well, I might have broken through it." I said as I started to work through the last firewall.

"You are a computer hacker?" Carisi said as I kept breaking through.

"I plead the fifth on answering that." I said as I finished.

"Bingo!" I said excited as I got an address.

"Does it match the DMV address?" I asked hopefully as Amanda shook her head yes.

"Let move now people." Liv said as she pulled out her phone and started to call everyone.

"Vests on and side arms. Get the kid and anyone else they have." Liv said as I got up and went to the locker room to slip on my vest. I kicked off my heels and slipped into a pair of worn into combat boots. I laced them up and started to head out to the others. I headed to the cars with Liv and the rest of the squad. I got in the car as we started to drive to Long Island with full lights and sirens. Liv started to order ESU and I tried to get a hold of the Washington.

"Mr. Washington, this is Detective Catalina Amaro with Manhattan Special Victims. I need you to call me back as soon as you get this. We have a lead on John." I said as I was on voicemail. We got to house and jumped out of the car. I ran straight to the door and banged on it.

"Police opened up!" I yelled as I banged on the door. A woman in a dark red dress opened the door as I noticed her black eye. "Where is James Reyonlds?" I demanded as we pushed our way into the house.

"Who are you people, get out of my house!" She yelled as I showed her my badge and the others started to search the house.

"Where is your husband?!" I yelled again as I heard Nick yelling that he got something. I ran down the stairs and saw Nick trying to open a locked door. ESU came running down the stairs as I told Nick to move.

"Get a bus on stand-by." Fin yelled upstairs as I started to kick in the door. I managed to break part of it before I felt pain through my ankle.

"Break it in!" Liv yelled as I took a step back. I nearly fell as Liv caught me.

"I'm good." I said as we barged into the room. I saw kids laying chained to the floor as Liv and Amanda took pluses. We went to a room in the I heard screaming. I ran with Nick into the back room as I pulled my gun. "NYPD! On the ground now!" I yelled as a man jumped off of the bed and took off running. He was on top of a chained down young teenage boy with long curly brown hair. "I got the kid!" I yelled as Nick took off running after the man. "Hi honey, my name is Cat. Can you hear me?" I asked as I started to untie him. He nodded feebly as I put two fingers on his neck. He flinched as I took his neck. His golden hazel eyes widen with fear as he tried to fight away from me. "Hey sweetie, it's okay. I'm police." I said pointing to my chest where I had police in bold white letter. He had cuts all over his face and a dirty red bandage on his head. "Can you tell me your name?" I asked as he tried to sit up. I helped him sit up slowly as he nodded.

"My name is John Laurens… Please help me?" He asked as he started to collapse into my chest.

"Okay, your safe honey. Your safe." I said as I started to help him up from the bed. His legs started to slip on the floor like a baby deer learning how to walk. I tried to steady him but he cried out in pain and started to slip out of my grasp.

"Liv I need a bus, now!" I screamed as the boy started to collapses to the ground. I laid him on the ground gentle as I knelt next to him. He had tears in his eyes as I tried to calm him down.

"I want you to squeeze my hand while I count to nine okay? I need you to stay with me John." I said as I grabbed his hand.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine." I said as he squeezed my hand feebly. "Good, can you squeeze harder?" I asked as I started to count again.

"Please tell Alex I love him?" John asked weakly as EMTs got in before the boy went unconscious.

"Get him to the hospital now!" Liv yelled as they got him ready and got the boy out of her. "Where is Nick?" I asked as Sonny and Fin got downstairs.

"We got four kids. Two girls and two boys. They were chained up and beaten. Looks like they have not eaten in a few days." Sonny said as Nick came back without our perp.

"Where is Reynolds?" I asked as Nick held his jaw.

"The son of a bitch punched me and we fought, he hit me and knocked down with his gun. He had a getaway car ready." Nick said as I clenched my fists in anger.

"Damn it!" I yelled and pushed my hair out of my face.

"We will get him soon enough. Rollins is with the kid. We need to get the rest of the kids out of here." Liv said as we all nodded. "Fin, go upstairs and talk to the wife. She doesn't talk then arrest her." Liv said as Fin walked upstairs. "CSU is on the way. Lina, I want you to head to the hospital with Rollins. Call the parents and let them know what is going on." Liv said as I nodded.

"Copy that Sargent." I said as I hurried up the stairs as pain went through my ankle. I got in the car and pulled out my phone. I answered the phone call from an unknown number.

"Amaro." I said as I started my car.

"This is George Washington. Did you find him? Did you find my son?" Mr. Washington asked franticly as I started to slow him down.

"Mr. Washington, we found him. We are transporting him to a hospital as we speak. I need to call my partner so that she can tell me what hospital they are at alright?" I said as I heard him say yes through tears. "Okay. I will call right back." I said as I hung up and called Rollins. "What hospital?" I asked as she told me which on. "I'm on my way with the kid's family. Is he doing alright?" I asked.

"Yeah, he is in with one of the doctors that we vetted. They have him stable." Rollins said as I sighed relived.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." I said as I got to the hospital. I called back the Washington's and told them where he was. I got out as the rain started to fall along with snow and sleet. I walked in and saw Amanda talking to a doctor. "How is he?" I asked worried as Amanda looked at me.

"He is okay, he has an infected cut on his forehead, a few broken bones. They are about to perform the rape kit on him." Rollins said as I nodded as I heard Mr. Washington behind me.

"Is he okay?! Where is he? Can we see him!?" Mr. Washington asked as Mrs. Washington clung to his arm asking with him.

"Mr. Washington, you need to calm down. He is fine they are performing a rape kit on him." I said as they stopped and looked at me shocked.

"Wait… A r-rape kit?" Mrs. Washington said shocked as I knocked on the door. "It's just to make sure he is okay." I said as they nodded.

"When can we see our son?" Mr. Washington said as he had tears falling on his cheeks.

"Soon. I promise." I said as he nodded and took his wife over to the waiting room chairs a distance from us. Amanda pulled out her phone.

"Liv just said that after we get the kids statement that we all get to head home. The storm is rolling in and it is getting ugly." Rollins said as the doctor came out.

"Detectives? We just finished his kit. The boy was sexually assaulted anally and orally. He has bruising and cuts everywhere. We took traces of spit and semen on him. He is awake and is asking for an Alexander?" The doctor said as we nodded.

"Is he up to giving us a statement?" I asked as the doctor looked at me.

"That is up to him. Are his parents here?" He asked as I nodded and directed to them.

"Mr. and Mrs. Washington we are going to get John's statement first before you see him. Is that alright with you?" Rollins asked as Mr. Washington nodded and his wife wiped her tears off his face.

"Yes. Please let us see him soon." Mrs. Washington said as I nodded.

"We will." I said as I smiled at them softly as Rollins and I walked towards John's room. I knocked on the door softly as we walked in. John had his hair tied into a bun and his eyes shut as his heart monitor beeped, as he groaned in pain.

"John? Hi I'm Detective Catalina Amaro. This is my partner Detective Rollins. Do we think we can talk for a minute?" I asked as he opened his eyes slightly.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine." John said quietly as I gave a small smile. "You're the lady who saved me…" John said quietly as I nodded.

"John hon, can we ask you about what happened?" Rollins asked as John nodded as he took rapid breaths as I approached next to him and sat next to him so that I was at his level.

"Do you remember what happened before you when in the house?" I asked as John nodded. "Do you think you can tell us?" I asked as he looked at me scared.

"I… was saying bye to Alexander… my cab got hit, I hit my head and fell to the floorboard. I felt a sharp think in my arm and I… I felt gone. I couldn't move or talk. I felt my heart slow down… I was in the hospital and then I closed my eyes and listened as everyone cried about me being gone… My heart monitor went off and I heard the doctor say I was dead…" John said struggling through his tears.

"Okay. Do you remember being in a morgue?" I asked as he barely nodded yes.

"I was on a table then I heard a lady scream and a door slam… I felt someone pick me up and I was in a car." John said as Rollins wrote down what he was saying. "Do you remember who was took you?" I asked as he froze. "He will come after me… Please don't let them take me again. Please!" John said starting to get hysterical as I started to calm him down.

"John, no one is going to hurt you, we won't let it happen." I said as he took a deep breath.

"He was my doctor… He took me from the morgue and then he put me back of a car. We went to someplace outside. He took me out and put… P-put me in the back of an another car. I got another shot of something… I woke up in a grey room with chains on my arms and ankles. I could-d't move. I heard crying and screams then he took me into a room and had a camera…" John said as I nodded.

"Okay. Can you tell me what happened in the room with the camera?" I asked as I saw him flinch.

"He started to talk to a computer. He made me take off my cl-clothes and did things to me… If I didn't listen he would hit me with the bat and the chain…" John said as he broke down into heavy sobs.

"Okay… John why don't we let you see you parents. Do you want to see them?" I asked as he took a struggling breath.

"Yes… Please let me see them!" John said as I nodded.

"Okay. I will go get them okay?" I said as he nodded quickly. I walked out with Amanda to the waiting room. "Mr. and Mrs. Washington if you want you can go and see your son." I said as they shot up from his seat. I followed behind them as they walked in.

"John." Mrs. Washington said as she broke down into sobs and ran towards her son.

"I'm okay Mom… I'm okay." John said as he cried into her shoulder as they embraced.

"My son… Thank you Detective Amaro, and Detective Rollins. You made my family whole again." He said as he wiped his tears away.

"We need to take the rest of his statement later. Here is my card. Call me tomorrow so that I can get the rest of it?" I asked as I handed him my card.

"Of course. Thank you." Mr. Washington said as he walked over to his son and hugged him and his wife.

"Let's leave them." I said as Rollins and I walked out. I checked the time and smiled. "Well, just in time for us to go home for dinner." I said as we got back to the car.

"Let's head back and tell Sargent that his family is back together." Rollins said as I went to my car. I got in and closed the door and pulled out my phone.

"Hey want to come over and make up our raincheck?" I asked as I started to drive.

"Yeah sure? Pizza sound good?" Sonny asked as I drove back.

"Yeah, I'll see you soon." I said as I pulled into the parking lot. I parked and got out. I headed inside and saw Nick and Liv talking as I headed towards the locker room. I took off my vest and boots and put on my booties from earlier.

"Alright everyone head home. The storm is getting bad and we are in need of a break." Liv said as we all started to walk out. I walked out and waited for Sonny.

"Ready to go?" I asked as he finally showed up.

"Yeah, sorry I just had to lie to your brother why I can't go grab drinks with him." Sonny said as he pulled me close to him.

"It is a lot better than him decking you in the face in front of Liv." I said as he laughed.

"Let's go before we freeze." Sonny said as he grabbed my hand and we walked out to my apartment. I opened my door and led Sonny in as I came face to face with the girls and Alex along with two boys. "Eliza? Who are your friends?" I asked as I took off my coat.

"Um… These are Alexander and I's friends Lafayette and Hercules." Eliza said standing up from the couch. "Well okay. Boys do one of you drive?" I asked as one of the boys with his curly hair in a bun raised his hand.

"Oui m'dame. I will drive Alexander and Mulligan home." He said with a distinct French accent.

"Well if you boys go now I will ignore the smell of weed." I said crossing my arms along with Sonny as the French boy blushed.

"Désolé madame. It is my cousin jacket. I grabbed what I could when I left the house this morning." He said as I nodded.

"Alright, now go." I said motherly as they got out and scurried out. "Sorry… I thought it was okay if they came over." Eliza said as I smiled.

"It's alright Eliza. Girls I want you to meet my friends. This is Sonny. Sonny I want you to meet Peggy, Angelica and Eliza." I said as the girls said hi.

"Hi girls." Sonny said as they gave him a small wave.

"Well um… Sonny why don't you pick up dinner. I need to talk to the girls." I said as I took off my coat. "Yeah, I'll be right back." Sonny said as he fixed his coat and walk out.

"Alright, now let's chat. What is happening at home?" I asked as I sat down in my chair.

"Daddy is starting to drink again." Peggy said as she sat on the floor fiddling with her fingers as Eliza and Angelica sat on the couch above her.

"When did that start?" I asked shocked as the girls were quiet for a few minutes as I looked at them. "It started again when Eliza said she didn't want to marry Seabury. Dad says that if she does without a fuss then our other arrangements will be canceled." Angelica said pointing to her and Peggy.

"Eliza is that true?" I asked sadly as she nodded. "I have to do for my sisters but Samuel is a cruel jerk to everyone." Eliza said as I got worried.

"Is he cruel to you?" I asked worried as she shook her head no.

"No." Eliza said as I frown slightly.

"Well you girls are not going home tonight. The storm is getting worse and I don't want to worry about you girls in a cab after what has happen the last two days." I said as I heard my phone buzz.

"Eliza hon do you think you and Angelica can head downstairs and help Sonny out. He doesn't have a key to get back in." I asked as they nodded and got up.

"Pegs why don't you set the table up for me. I need to change." I said as she hopped up from the floor. I went into my room and unbutton my shirt and through it on my bed as I heard screams from outside. I bolted out of my room in my camisole and jeans, barefooted as I took off running with my gun down the stairs. I ran outside and watched Angelica was fighting to stop someone from taking Eliza.

"Police!" I yelled as I pointed my gun at the perp. He slapped Angelica to the ground as he ripped Eliza shirt off as she screamed, he kept yelling her to shut up. I pointed my gun at as I tried to take my shot but he had Eliza in front of him, I threw my gun to the ground and lunge at him as I tried to free Eliza as she was screaming. I grabbed his neck and nearly hand him pinned but he thrown me off like I was nothing. I landed with a thud. He was trying to throw her into the back of a car as I heard Sonny yelling and running towards us. The guy let go of Eliza as he saw Sonny racing towards us and jumped into his car and drove off, Sonny started running after the car. I ran over to Eliza and helped her up. I pulled her close to me and started to stroke her hair. "It's okay mija. I'm here." I said trying to calm her down as Sonny helped Angelica off the cement, Sonny helped me up as I held on to Eliza. I took off my camisole and braced the snow as I put it on her. Sonny ushered us in as he put his coat on me. "What happened?" I asked as we walked back upstairs and sat down.
