A/N: Hey all! Thanks for reviewing and keep em' coming :)


Upside Down


Four Months Later...

Punk found himself spending a lot of time in the DA's office the last few months and not just for work but to visit his wife who was being kept constantly busy by her new boss. He didn't think being his secretary would be be so demanding. He was sitting on the edge of AJ's desk texting when she walked over to him.

"Hey." she greeted and gave her a short but sweet kiss.

"You remember me?" He teased.

"Of course I do." She laughed sitting at her desk.

"Really? Because we were supposed to meet for lunch half an hour ago." He reminded her.

"I'm so sorry Phil." She sighed. "I've been wrapped up in the Giffords case."

"I know it's a biggie." Punk agreed. "Could have shot me a text..."

"I know, I know." She said feeling bad. "Dinner tonight? I'll make it up to you."

"Dinner where?" he asked.

"My place?" She suggested. "I'm cooking your favorite."

"Hamburgers and fries?" he teased and she nodded. "I'll be there."

"And Petra is spending the night at Kimberly's house." AJ said to him and his ears perked up.

"You don't say." He grinned.

"Yea I just have to drop her off after dinner." AJ told him.

"Hey there Phillip." DA Ramirez greeted as he passed by. "Whenever I need you to consult on a case you're nowhere to be found but now I can't get you out of my office." He teased.

"My girlfriend works here." Punk said trying to be nice.

"That's right." He nodded. "Ape mentioned that to me. Anyways good to see you." he then walked into his office.

"Ape?" Punk asked her.

"It's just a nickname." She said to him and he rolled his eyes.

"Stupid nickname." he muttered childishly under his breath.

"I'm sorry I've been so busy." she pouted cutely. "I promise to make it up to you."

"I'm just antsy waiting for a new case." He said to her. "I hate the stuff I'm doing now."

"You'll get something amazing soon and disappear for a few months." She said to him.

"I won't forget you." He teased.

"Right." She laughed. "Has your lawyer heard back from Seth yet?"

"About the divorce papers?" he asked and she nodded. "Nope. He's probably having his own attorney going through it."

"I hope filling was the right thing to do." AJ said as she moved files around on her desk.

"You wanted to stay married forever?" He asked her.

"Of course not I just don't want him to try to fight for custody." She said to him. "Things having been going so great."

"He's been a ghost for the last five months. I don't think he wants anything more than to distance himself from the two of you." Punk said to her.

"Petra is taking it really hard. She's been trying to call him and he won't return her calls at all." AJ said to him.

"Are you sure having her call him is a wise choice?" he asked her.

"No but he's still her father and she can talk to him over the phone." AJ said to him. "I don't want to be the monster here."

"Ok." he said not wanting to get into a fight with her.

"She loves spending time with you. She keeps talking about the baseball game you took her to last weekend."

"I had a great time." Punk smirked. "She really loves baseball."

"Yes she does and I've been thinking about signing her up for a little league soft ball team." AJ said to him. "Do you think that's silly?"

"Not at all." He said to her. "I'd be there every game."

"Really?" she asked.

"Of course. She's my buddy." He shrugged.

"I'm so glad you said that." She said cutely and he let out a sigh and knew what was coming.

"You need me to pick her up today?" Punk asked and she nodded.

"Fine." He said reaching for his keys. "We'll be home in time for dinner."

"I promise-" she started.

"-you'll make it up to me, I know." he said and leaned over and kissed her again. "I'll see you tonight."


"Hey Punk!" Petra shouted waving with her free hand as Petra's teacher held her other hand.

"Hey kid." He smirked taking her hand from the teacher and gave her a nod. "How was school?"

"It was ok." She said to him. "Where is mom?"

"She had to work today." Punk said to her.

"Again?" Petra frowned.

"Yea you know she's been busy." Punk said to her. "She really wanted to get you today."

"She said that on Monday too." Petra pointed out almost bitterly.

"Cut her some slack ok?" Punk suggested. "She's working really hard to make sure you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back and food in your mouth."

"I miss her." Petra said looking up at him.

"Me too." Punk mumbled as he walked her to his car and she climbed into the backseat and he made sure she was buckled before he got into the drivers seat.

"I hate her job." Petra said annoyed.

"It's only these next few weeks." Punk pointed out. "There's a big case your mom is helping with."

"Ugh." Petra groaned. "Fine."

"So what happened at school today?" Punk asked her.

"Nothing." Petra sighed.

"You sure?" he asked.

"Yea. I just have a lot of homework." she said to him.

"Need some help?" He offered.

"Nah. I'll do it at Kimberly's house." Petra said to him.

"Hey you wanna go to the mini cart place?" he asked looking in the rear view mirror to see her face light up.

"Yes!" she said shouted happily.


By the time Punk and Petra made it home for dinner AJ was already halfway done cooking and didn't go unnoticed by either how quickly Petra ate her food.

"What's the rush?" AJ asked sipping her water.

"I really just want to see Kim." Petra said to her.

"Don't you want to spend some time with your mom?" AJ asked hopefully.

"Of course! But I really want to see Kimberly today." Petra shrugged.

"There's a Cubs game next Tuesday night you want to come with me?" Punk asked Petra.

"Of course I do!" she said anxiously.

"What about you?" He asked looking at AJ as he ate a fry.

"I'll be there." AJ said to him.

"You hate baseball mommy." Petra reminded her.

"I do but I want to spend time with my two favorite people." AJ said to her. "Afraid you won't fun with me there?"

"No of course not mommy." Petra assured her and AJ just eyed her.

"I know when you're keeping something from me." AJ noted.

"I'm being good." Petra assured her.

"Ok get your shoes on and I'll drive you over to Kimberly's." AJ said to her and she anxiously jumped out of her chair.

"She was quiet earlier too." Punk said as he ate.

"What do you think it is?" She asked him. "Maybe it's the job."

"Maybe." He agreed. "She's not used to not having you around this much."

"I'll talk to Ricky about all of this overtime I'm putting in." she said to him.

"How cute." Punk grinned. "You're Ape and he's Ricky."

"Are you jealous?" AJ teased smiling at him.

"No." He scoffed. "He's a tool. I'm hot."

"You are hot." She agreed. "And I'm going to have you all to myself tonight."

"So hurry back." he said to her. "I'll clean up."

"Don't touch one dish. You've done enough since I've been working and even before that. You just be in my bed waiting for me when I get back." She said standing up.

"I'm already mommy." She said holding up her overnight bag.

"Ten minutes." She mouthed to Punk.

"Bye Punk." Petra waved as she walked to the door.

"See you later kid." Punk waved back.


AJ parked outside of Kim's house that was only five minutes away and looked back at her daughter.

"I'm going to be around more." She promised.

"It's ok mommy." she said to her letting herself out of her car seat. "Punk explained it to me."

"He did?" She asked.

"Yup." She said as she waited for AJ to open her door for which she did then handed her over her sleep away bag. "I still love you mommy." She said as AJ leaned to give her a kiss.

"I love you too." She smiled walking her to the sidewalk. "And you like it here right?"

"Yea it's great." She said blandly.

"I know this hasn't been easy and you miss your dad." AJ frowned. "But I want you to know how proud I am of you."

"Really?" Petra asked.

"Yes! You're amazing and you've adjusted to all of this change so well." AJ smiled proudly.

"I really like it here and I really like all of my new friends and Punk and Cliff and Colt." Petra said as AJ walked her to the front door.

"I'm really glad to hear that."AJ said relieved. "And you do realize if something is upsetting you that you can talk to me about anything, right?"

"I know that mommy." Petra said nervously.

"Hi Petra." Kimberly's mother greeted taking her hand now.

"Thank you for having her." AJ said Kim's mom.

"Oh please you've had Kim the last two Friday it's the least we could do." she smiled.

"Goodnight baby." AJ said hugging her.

"Night mommy." Petra said hugging her a little tighter.

"Call if she needs anything." AJ said to Kim's mom who just nodded.

"Will do." She promised AJ.

Ten minutes of being at Kim's house Petra was in the backyard and walking around to the side gate and that's when she saw it. Her eyes lit up and her smile was huge as she ran as fast as she could.

"Daddy!" She cheered.

"Hi baby." Seth said scooping her up. "I've missed you so much." He said holding her tightly.

"I've missed you more than anything in this whole wide world!" Petra said loving being back in the father she remembered arms. "I can't be too long because Kimberly said her parents always check on her at eight."

"I just wanted to see you." Seth smiled admiring his daughter.

"You see me at school all of the time." Petra giggled.

"It's not the same." Seth said to her. "I'm always hiding in a car and I don't get to hug you or kiss your cheek." He said kissing her cheek and she giggled.

"Daddy can't I tell mommy you're here?" Petra asked him.

"No you can not. Not yet. I'll tell her myself soon." Seth said to her.

"Can we be a family again?" Petra asked him. "You can live with me and mommy!"

"I don't think that's going to happen." Seth frowned. "Daddy has done a lot of bad things but he's working on it."

"You should meet Punk." Petra said to him. "He said people make mistakes all of the time but that's ok."

"That's your mom's boyfriend the cop, right?" Seth asked and she nodded. "How's he? You like him?"

"He's really nice daddy. He takes me to baseball games and took me go-karting today and he plays games with me." Petra confirmed.

"That's real good." Seth said genuinely.

"I hate lying to mommy and Punk." Petra confided.

"You won't have to for long because I'm going to see your mommy real soon and we're going to work something out so I can spend more time with you." Seth promised her.

"Are you going to hit her again?" Petra asked and his face fell.

"No. Never." He promised her. "Daddy had a lot of issues but I'm working on all of that now or I wouldn't be here."

"Why?" Petra asked confused.

"Because if I felt the way I did a few months back I'd just lash out and someone I love might get hurt like you did and I couldn't let that happen." Seth said to her. "I had to try to get better first and I think I am."

"I think you are daddy." Petra said to him. "Punk is taking mommy and me to a baseball game next week you should come with us."

"I don't think that will happen." Seth laughed.

"Do you know Punk? I think you'd like him." Petra informed him.

"I do actually." Seth said remembering when he met him while he was undercover. "Does he sleep at your place too?"

"Sometimes. And when he does he takes me to school and I get to sit on his shoulders and he takes me to the donut shop." Petra told her father.

"Sounds like fun." Seth said with a genuine smile.

"I should get back daddy." Petra said and he put her down. "When will I see you again?"

"I'll drive by your school during playtime again on Monday." He promised her and kissed her head. "I love you."

"I love you too daddy." She smiled.

"Alright get back inside." he encouraged and watched her run back to the fence and didn't leave until he was sure she was inside.

Parked on the corner not far away from Seth was another man, Kevin the man Petra met at the park. He was clearly waiting for Punk at his place once they found out his real name and address. He immediately recognized the small girl and remembered how protective Punk was of her and even when he mentioned her a few days later Punk snapped at him. Kevin was confused about a lot of stuff having to do with Punk but the fact that this little girl he was protective of was sleeping at his neighbors house seemed odd and clearly there was more to it then Punk let on.


When AJ walked back into her apartment she noticed the kitchen had been cleaned completely.

"Phil!" she yelled out with a laugh removing her jacket and tossing her purse.

"You bellowed for me dear?" He asked peeking his head out of the bedroom.

"Yes. I thought I told you to leave the mess to me." She said walking to him.

"I would have but you see, since my girlfriend is working so much now I'll do anything to get extra time with her including washing the dishes." He said pulling her into the bedroom.

"I'm sorry. I haven't been fair to you." She agreed as he casually un-buttoned her white blouse.

"It's ok I'm patient. And I'm no one to complain about someone working too much." He noted as her blouse was fully open and his lips and tongue ran across her collar bone as he tugged the shirt off of her shoulders and dropped it to the floor.

"Do you think I'm a good girlfriend?" She asked him and he looked up at her.

"You're great." He said unzipping her black dress pants now and was removing them all the while looking her seriously the eye.

"I feel like I'm ignoring Petra and I see her more than you I can only imagine how you must feel." she said seriously as she stepped out of her pants now.

"You're working and I respect the hell out of you for providing for yourself and daughter." He said to her. "I'm a proud boyfriend." he smirked kissing her.
"But I can fix this." he said as his fingers pushed her panties to the side and began to tease her. She gasped slightly as her hands quickly gripped his large forearms to help keep her steady. "You two can come back home with me."

"No more moving." She insisted as her eyes rolled slightly as he slipped a finger into her.

"Ever?" He asked casually as if he wasn't adding another finger into her welcoming body.

"Not right now." She said to him, gripping him harder.

"I like waking up next to you." He informed her. "I like getting up extra early and cooking you both pancakes." he added and she smiled then her mouth opened slightly as his thumb rubbed her nub now. "I have more room too and our bedroom wouldn't share a wall with your six year old."

"Maybe when my lease is up." she said unable to concentrate.

"When is that?" he asked staring directly into her eyes with a serious face while his hand pushed her body over the edge. "Huh?" He asked as she gasped.

"Phil." She cried out digging her nails into his shoulders and he wrapped his arm around around her waist to keep her from falling. "Six."

"Six months?" he asked and all she could do is nod and then finally came around his fingers.

Punk pushed AJ onto the bed and she sat up and quickly removed her wet panties from her body and watched as Punk undressed right in front of her. As soon as Punk sprung free her hands and mouth were all over him. He let her have her fun for a few minutes but then pulled away and guided her further up the bed. Punk and AJ were on their sides kissing and rubbing against each other until AJ lifted her leg over his hip and he entered her like a sword. His hand grabbed her ass to pull her as close as possible and she pushed him on his back so she was laying on top of him.

Her hands cupped his face as her cheek rested against his, her hair covered his head like a veil and she laid there as he lifted and pushed into her body. His hand was at her neck gripping it gently to keep her from moving away from him because he loved having her face and hair all over him. His other hand was kneading one of her plump cheeks and he continued to use all of his strength to push into her.

"That's it Phil." She moaned. "That's the spot." She cried as she quickly began to match his pace.

AJ forced herself to sit up and used her arm to throw her hair back so Punk could see her face. He grinned as his hands gripped her hips. He removed one hand and tugged at her bra until he freed her breasts so he could watch them bounce up and down and ran his hand over one and teased her nipple then moved his hand back to her hip. Punk watched as her hand moved over herself and teased her clit and bit down hard on her bottom lip.

"I love watching you lose it like this." Punk grinned and lifted his entire bottom half to hit into her harder to help her along. "You bite your lip and it's so hot. I can't wait to suck on it."

"Phil." She warned.

"You're going to lose it and when you do I'm going to have you on your back screaming." He threatened and she cried slightly.

A few minutes later AJ felt herself release as she dripped down Punk's shaft and he rolled right onto her back and lifted one of her legs over his hip and plunged into her body roughly.

"Oh my god!" She screamed out cranking her neck back and arching her body into his thrusts. "Fuck." She cried.

Punk's mouth did as he said it would and moved over to the bottom lip she was biting on and began sucking on it. AJ was in tears as he consumed her body completely. This man introduced her to a whole new side of sex that left her craving it, but only with him. He grunted into her throat now as he pushed and pushed and kept pushing as he desperately searched for his own release.

"Fuck AJ." He groaned as he wrapped her leg tighter around his hip and kept it there while she gasped and screamed.

AJ couldn't keep her eyes open even if she tried and tried to join his movements but she was now match for his hard strength. His free arm moved to the pillow next to her head and he tightening his fist around it as he plunged until she he felt her tighten around his throbbing member and came again. Punk joined her at the same time and came hard into her body. He slipped out of her body and rolled nect to her laying on his stomach and tried to catch his breath.

"Are you ok?" she asked kissing his shoulder.

"Yea baby." he assured her and turned his head so he was looking at her. "That was fucking awesome."

"It really was." She grinned kissing the tip of his nose.


At around two in the morning both Punk and AJ were fast asleep. AJ's naked body was draped over his and a thin white sheet covered them from the waist down. Her head was nuzzled into his neck and he had fallen asleep with his fist tangled in her long dark hair. Loud banging at her door woke AJ up first as she lifted her head and looked around confused.

"Phil." She whispered shaking him.

"Hmm?" he asked not even opening his eyes.

"Do you hear that?" She asked and the banging happened again and his eyes darted open.

"It's the door." He said annoyed as AJ crawled off of him and reached for her robe.

"What if it's Petra?" She asked quickly tying her robe.

"At 2 in the morning?" He asked throwing his legs over the bed and throwing back on his boxers but AJ was already at the door and swung the front door open but it wasn't Petra it was the last man on earth she ever planned on seeing. Her entire body froze in fear as Seth gave her a faint smile.

"AJ we need-" He started but she slammed the door shut and locked it.

"Who is it?" Punk asked yawning as he walked towards the door.

"Seth." She whispered horrified as she rested her back against the door.

"What?" He asked now fully awake and pushed her to the side.

"Phil don't open the door." She cried out terrified.

"You think I'm going to let him touch you?" Punk asked her as he unlocked the door and sure enough there he was.

"Relax." Seth said taking a step back and holding his hands up. "I come in peace."

"Peace? After the beating you laid on AJ a few months back I can't wait to rip your throat out." He hissed moving forward raising his arm and curling his fist but AJ tugged on that arm and pulled him back.

"I deserve that and I'll even let you do it but you're in trouble so hear me out first." Seth said to him and AJ frowned.

"Get the fuck out of here." Punk warned pointing to the exit. "Don't-"

"Wait a second." AJ said to him. "Hear him out."

"What?" Punk asked her.

"He said you're in trouble." AJ reminded him.

"You believe him?" Punk asked with a laugh. "He knows nothing about me."

"I know you were working the Ian Doyle case undercover and FBI took over. I also know Kevin Blane who works for Ian has been parked outside your house for the last seven hours." Seth informed him.

"Who is Kevin?" AJ asked Punk.

"That guy from the park." He said to AJ but kept his eyes on Seth.

"I'm only here because what happens to you affects Petra." Seth said to him. "She's at a sleepover next door to your house and I know he was looking at her."

"I have to go get Petra." AJ said quickly grabbing her keys and jacket.

"He left." Seth told them. "I wouldn't have left if he was still there. I ran a check on his plates I know about Doyle." he told Punk.

"How did you know where Petra was?" Punk asked him and it hit AJ too that he shouldn't have know that as well.

"I've been in touch with Petra." Seth admitted and AJ's eyes widened. "I've been by her school and she told me she'd be at a sleepover I was going to tell you-"

"Are you crazy?" AJ yelled. "You can't just walk back into her life! You're lucky I didn't have you arrested."

"You're lucky you're still breathing." Punk hissed at him.

"I've got the divorce papers." Seth said to her. "They're in my car and I'm not going to fight you I'll pay child support but I want to see Petra."

"No." was AJ's quick response. "You've been sneaking around seeing her?"

"She loves me. You have to get over that fact." Seth said to her. "I don't get it either I don't deserve it after the last time."

"You mean when you pushed her?" AJ asked.

"I've been getting help." Seth said to her and AJ looked at him to see if he was lying, she'd always be able tell.

"Too little too late." Punk remarked.

"I'm trying here. I'm not asking for you to take me back I'm not asking for you to let me spend time with Petra alone." Seth said to them. "I just want to show her that I'm not a monster. She needs a father- her real father." he said looking towards Punk.

"I'm not trying to replace you." Punk said to him coldly not really feeling a need to defend himself to him.

"You don't owe him anything." AJ said to Punk as she glared at Seth.

"Petra has told me how much she adores you." Seth said to Punk. "You look out for her, you make her happy and that's what I want for her. I'm not here to replace you in her life either. You two have a very special bond one that I'll never have with her."

"Because Phil doesn't lose his temper or lash out at me or her." AJ pointed out.

"Good." Seth said to him. "Which is why I'm here. You should know that your cover has be blown."

"I haven't worked that case in months." Punk informed as Seth remained in the hallway.

"And they found who their leak was." Seth said to him. "I'm telling you this because if something happened to you it would crush my daughter. Also there's a chance that they know that you're close to Petra and they lure her into their kiddie porn business then I have to kill you and she won't have you either way and I don't want that either."

"Don't threaten him." AJ said to him.

"I'm trying to do right by you and our daughter. And yes she is still my daughter no matter how much you wish she wasn't." Seth reminded her. "You asked for soul custody and I will not fight you as long as you give me your word that you'll work with me and let me see her and talk to her from time to time. I'm bettering myself. I've been in therapy, I cut Dean and Roman loose I am trying so hard and I think me being here trying to save your boyfriend proves that."

"Why don't you come inside." AJ forced out and she knew Punk didn't like that.

Seth moved to walk into the apartment but Punk blocked his way.

"What man?" Seth asked amused. "What more do I have to do."

"Prove you're not carrying." Punk said simply.

Seth held his arms out willingly and let Punk search him to make sure he didn't have a gun.

"Is he ok?" AJ asked.

"Sure." Punk said stepping aside glaring at Seth as he entered the place.

"I have your stuff in storage." Seth said to her. "I'll mail it out to you when I can."

"I don't care about my stuff." AJ said folding her arms and Punk made sure to stand in-between the two.

"You know the kind of childhood I had growing up AJ." Seth reminded her. "I saw my dad beat my mom, he saw my grandfather hit my grandmother-"

"I grew up the same way yet I've never laid a hand on her." Punk pointed out.

"I was wrong." Seth said.

"Or you're here because you're scared that I'll turn in that evidence." AJ said to him and he just smirked.

"If you were going to do that you would have done it when you first left." Seth said to her. "But you can keep it and hold it over my head."

"I want to speak to your therapists." AJ said to him.

"Done." Seth said to her. "I'm really trying here."

"Why were you lurking outside Petra's school?" Punk asked.

"Because I knew AJ wouldn't let me see her or you for that matter." Seth said to him. "We can talk about all of that later right now we need to talk about you." he said looking towards Punk. "Does this guy know you're connected to Petra? Has been following you when you pick her up or take her to games?"

"I would have seen him." Punk said surely.

"He does know Petra." AJ reminded him. "That day at the part when he was talking to her and you were undercover. You pulled her right away from him."

"What happened at the park?" Seth asked them.

"It was right after you nearly killed me-" She started and Seth rolled his eyes. "-I took Petra to the park and I didn't realize Phil was working undercover until that guy thought I'd be an easy target. He sent Phil to talk to me and while we were talking he was chatting up Petra. The minute Phil noticed him talking to her he grabbed her and took her away."

"That probably set off some warning signals." Seth said to Punk.

"Would you have rather I let him play around with Petra?" Punk snapped.

"Of course not." He mumbled.

"You don't have any right to judge Phil." AJ argued with Seth. "Since the day he met her he's always put her and her interests first which is more than I can say for you."

"I'm not judging the guy." Seth said annoyed. "You don't think I didn't do research on him when I found out you were living in his house?" he laughed. "I know all about Phillip Jack Brooks."

"And I know all about you." Punk said to him. "Don't think I didn't do my homework when your wife and daughter appeared out of nowhere in that crappy apartment building."

"This isn't about me." Seth said to him. "This is about you. You're a target now and because you're practically living with my wife and raising my daughter that puts them in harms way and I'm not going anywhere until I feel comfortable."

"You don't have these rights." AJ reminded him. "Thank you for telling us about that guy but you can't just walk back into our lives and expect me to forget everything."

"That's not what I was expecting. And I only snuck in time with Petra because I knew you'd be thick headed and not believe me or hear me out about working on myself." Seth said to her annoyed.

"You shouldn't have snuck around with her to begin with! You shouldn't have made her lie to me about!" AJ yelled.

"And you shouldn't have packed her up overnight and ran off!" Seth yelled back and now Punk was in his face.

"Get out." Punk said to him in a low voice.

"I didn't mean to yell." Seth reasoned.

"First you raise your voice and next it will be your hand and then I'd have to kill you." Punk said calmly. "I wouldn't want to hurt Petra like that either so I suggest you leave."

"I'll go." Seth agreed. "But keep in mind if I wasn't serious about this I would have just taken off with Petra tonight or one of the many other times I've seen her. I just want to make some form of peace. You don't trust me with her and I realized that I don't trust me with her." He said looking over Punk's shoulder towards AJ. "I don't even trust myself around you I just want to make some things right. I want to be part of her life in some way and I want to at least make sure she's happy and that means making sure your new boyfriend doesn't get capped. So whether you like it or not I'm staying and we can work together or we can do this separate. The choice is yours but I'll give you two some time to talk it over if you need me I'll be watching my daughter to keep her away from the men you dragged into her life." he said looking at Punk then walked out the door.

"This is not how envisioned this night going." AJ said to him but walked right into the bedroom. "Where are you going?" she asked.

"I'm going to watch Petra." Punk said to her. "I don't know if Kevin knows about her connection to me but I know that I don't trust him or your husband watching her."

"I'll go with you." AJ insisted.

"No you stay here." he said getting dressed. "I'll bring her home first thing in the morning."

"What about Seth?" AJ asked him.

"Do I want to work with the man that you've been running from who beat you nightly? Nope." Punk said to her. "I don't trust him either."

"Can you just go to Kim's and bring her home?" AJ asked him. "I'll call and tell them you're coming."

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"I don't want you to sleep in the car. And I won't be resting tonight knowing there's three of you all watching each other." She said to him. "I'll call and you just go get her ok?"

"Alright." he said throwing on his sneakers now.

AJ followed him to the door and grabbed his wrist before he walked out.

"Everything is going to be ok, right?" she asked him and he gave her a smile.

"Of course. You think I'd let anyone hurt Petra?" He asked with a chuckle.

"I'm worried about you too." AJ said to him. "What if these guys want payback?"

"For what? I didn't rat them out." he said to her. "I'll figure that out later it's nothing for you to worry about." he then kissed the top of her head. "I'll be right back with Petra."

"Ok." she said forcing a smile and watching him walk away. She couldn't help but feel like her peaceful world just got turned completely upside in a matter of minutes...


A/N: #PlotTwist, so is Seth a good guy now? Has he truly changed? Will AJ let him into Petra's life? Will Punk be killed for being an UC cop? Stay tuned...
