Ellie woke up as they pulled up in front of the cabin and a blonde man came into sight. "That's Jay." Mike replied as he turned off the car. He got out and quickly talked to the man. He nodded and walked back to the cabin. Mike turned and headed back to the car. "Okay, we're set. Let's head in and we will see how we can prove your innocence."

She nodded and got out and followed him in the cabin. It wasn't overly big but it was nice inside and she knew that no one would find them.

"Okay, I thought we would go over the file that the DA had and see what we can find." She nodded. She didn't know why he was helping her but she was glad that he was.

Allie sat in the apartment waiting on John to get there. Randy and Finn were both napping. Allie laughed at the fact that Randy still took daily naps. She heard the doorbell and walked over and opened the door. "Detective Cena, come in."

"You can call me John." He said walking in.

"Okay, John." She replied as she shut the door. "So, did you have more questions or what?"

He turned to face her. He had no idea exactly what to say. "I wanted to ask if you would like to have dinner with me."

"I'm sorry?" She asked. "Did you just ask me out?"

"Yes." He replied. "Allie, I like you. Over the course of this case and showing you the evidence and getting to know you, I like you."

Allie stood there for a minute. Could her life get any more complicated? She looked at him. He really was handsome and she did like him. It wouldn't really hurt to have dinner with him. "Okay, dinner. When?"

"Tonight? If you can get a sitter for Finn."

"I don't really trust anyone with him right now." She replied.

"Well, how about I cook for you at my place? You can bring him."

"Around 7?" He smiled and nodded.

"Great. Then it's a date." He said. He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek just as Randy walked back into the room with Finn.

"Good. I feel much better with our friendly neighborhood cop here. And by the looks of things, he's getting pretty friendly. Thought I should show you this. It's what woke me up." Randy said as he handed John the phone. John looked at the text message.

"I can have my partner take a look and we can see if we can track down who sent it."

"Probably some crazed, jilted ex groupie."Allie said as she took Finn.

"You're hilarious. Detective Cena, if you could take a look at it, I would be grateful." John nodded. He looked at Allie.

"I'll see you and Finn tonight." She nodded and he left.

Mike looked over the files and Ellie stood at the stove stirring dinner. Mike's mouth began to water at the smells coming from the kitchen and he rubbed the back of his neck and walked into the kitchen to get something to drink. She looked up when he came into the room.

"Something smells amazing." He said. She nodded.

"Braised beef, mashed potatoes and homemade Mac and cheese." She said.

"That sounds good. I didn't realize you could cook."

"I can cook." She replied. "Any news?"

"Not yet but I have my people looking into things. I feel we will find the truth." He said sitting down. "It just takes time."

"Have you heard anything with Allie and Finn?"

"They're safe. Randy is staying with them." He said.

"But?"

"But what?"

"I know something else is going on. So, tell me."

"Drew showed up at your sister's job and then he showed up at the park where they were."

"Are they really safe? I don't want Drew to hurt them."

"They are safe. With Randy and John watching out for them. They're safe." She nodded and went back to cooking. She hoped that he was right. But she knew Drew would do anything to get Finn.

He walked over to her and turned her around to face him. He could see the tears in her eyes and he sighed and pulled her into a hug. "I promise you we're going to find out who did this. And I promise you that Finn and Allie will be safe. You believe that right? You believe that I'm on your side and that I'll do whatever I have too to keep you guys safe?" She pulled back to look at him and closed her eyes and nodded. His cell phone ringing caught his attention and he pulled himself away to answer it.

"Mizanin."

"It's Adam Copeland. I'm glad you made it." He said over the phone. "I trust you plan to help her clear her name?"

"That is my plan. I know in my gut that Ellie didn't do this."

"I'm keeping tabs on Drew for you. But I don't think he's going to make a big move. At least not yet. I'll keep you posted. You just take care of Ellie and my cabin."

"I will." Mike hung up and looked at Ellie putting the food on the table.

Drew sat parked outside of Allie hoping for a chance to take Finn. He looked up as he saw her car leaving. He saw it was just her and Finn inside. No Randy. He smiled and followed her. This was his chance to take Finn and get rid of her. He followed behind her but not close enough for her to notice. He was shocked when they drove on the outside of Atlanta and she pulled up to a house.

Allie pulled up to John's house, which was on the outside of Atlanta. She got Finn out of the car and headed to the door. She knocked and smiled when John answered.

"Glad you guys came. Come in." John said with a smile. He looked and noticed the car stopped acrossed the street. He didn't draw attention and he headed inside with Allie and Finn. "Dinner will be ready in a few minutes. Can I get you anything to drink?"

"Juice." Finn said. Allie smiled. John did too.

"Coming right up little man. Allie?"

"Soda's fine if you have it." John nodded and walked out into the kitchen. He grabbed his phone and sent a text to Stephen telling him that Drew was sitting across from his house. Stephen said he'd be right there. He fixed Allie's soda and Finn's juice and walked back into the living room.

Finn looked at Allie as she sat Finn down on the floor to play.

"Aunt Allie?"

"Yes baby?"

"Miss Mama." Allie closed her eyes for a second and looked at him.

"I know baby. I miss your mama too. And I know she's missing us too. And I promise you, your mama will be home with you very soon."

"Miss Phil."

"I know you miss them both. But everything will work." Allie said with a sad smile. She hated everything Finn was going through and if she could change it, she would. Now all she could do was try to clear Ellie's name and keep Finn safe. She had to make sure he was happy and healthy through this whole ordeal.
