A/N: I don't own any of the characters except my own.

Monday morning, Ed Sr. had his surgery with Colleen, the 6 kids and Shauna at the hospital and everything went well. Once the surgery was over, Colleen told everyone they could go home and she would keep them updated. Everyone agreed and left. Ed, Diana and Shauna went to the Precinct.

"Hey."

"Hey. How's your dad?"

"Things went well. Ma sent everyone home."

Shauna kissed Jeff.

"Anything new with the case?"

"Nope. This case is a pain in the ass. We've had more vics but no one seems to remember anything."

"Anything coming up in the rape kits?"

"Not really. The toxicology reports are inconclusive too. They don't show anything out of the ordinary other than the alcohol levels being higher in all cases. This is so frustrating."

"It sounds like it."

Then Melinda came in.

"Liv, I think I have something. I reran the toxicology reports from all your vics and this is what came up."

Melinda showed Olivia each report.

"Why is it different?"

"Probably because it takes longer for certain drugs to get into the system. I'm thinking your perp is someone who works for a lab or pharmaceutical company or has connections to someone that does. Here's all the info I could come up with regarding where the drug was made."

"It's not even manufactured in this area."

"Where?"

"Chicago."

"Figures. Let me see it."

Olivia handed Diana the paper Melinda gave her.

"I can't say I've even heard of this place. Someone could be operating a lab from their home somewhere in not such a good area of the city."

Then Erin looked at it.

"I don't recognize it either but I agree with Diana that it's probably not a good area."

"Let me see."

Erin handed it to Shauna.

"I'm guessing somewhere near the expressway."

Olivia's phone rang. It was Antonio.

"Yes, Antonio."

"Hey. We have a case similar to yours and nothing seems to be comin' up."

"Have your ME rerun the toxicology reports again in a couple days. Melinda reran the ones here and a particular drug came up that didn't come up the last time."

"Ok."

Olivia told Antonio about the lab that they drug was supposedly created in. He said they'd look into it and let her know what they found. Olivia then hung up the phone.

"Well, Chicago is now dealing with something similar. He said they'll look into the lab and let me know what they come up with."

"Do think any of us will need to go out there?"

"Maybe. If we do, I'd probably send Erin and either you or Carisi."

"Ok."

"That works for me."

Then Hank, Al and Meredith came in and Hank kissed Olivia.

"Hey, Honey."

"Hey. Do you have time for lunch or are you too busy with this case?"

"I'm never too busy for you."

"Good. Ed, how's your dad?"

"The surgery went well."

"That's good. Any breaks in the case?"

"Yes and no. We have more vics. Even though the toxicology reports didn't really come up with anything, Mel reran them and this drug came up on the ones she reran, which only shows up a few days later. The lab is apparently in Chicago but none of the Chicago experts recognized it. Antonio called and said they have a similar case. I told him that Melinda reran the toxicology reports after a couple days. They are looking into the lab or whatever it is and will let me know what they find. Diana seems to think it's out of someone's basement or something."

"It probably is if none of them have heard of it. Let me have a look."

"Sure."

Olivia showed Hank the name. Al looked too.

"I think it might be an abandoned warehouse around the Eisenhower Expressway."

"That would be my guess."

"I second."

"I agree."

"That's what I said."

Hank texted Antonio and told him what he thought. Antonio replied back and said that was their guess too.

"How the hell do you do that?"

"Because that's what I dealt with. I know that city upside down and backwards."

"Shit, I used to work in Narcotics but sometimes I didn't even know where to find where they hid stuff. I remember that one case we had when they smuggled cocaine in baby formula."

"I remember that too. IAB got involved but nearly blew the case for us but I'm not mentioning any names."

Olivia and Fin told everyone about that case. Diana looked at Ed and shook her head. Shauna rolled her eyes.

"I'm beginning to see why no one liked you."

"Yeah, really and to think, you're my favorite uncle."

"It wasn't until around the time I was adopting Noah that I realized he had a heart in there somewhere."

"I'm glad I quit IAB when I did, so thanks for that. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have. I don't miss workin' though."

"Me neither."

"Same with me."

"I'm going to lunch."

"Where are you two headed?"

"Is the Pub even open?"

"Yeah. That was the main reason Ma went everyone back because of the lunch rush. My sisters-in-law were in charge until everyone got back."

"Is that where you wanna go?"

"We might as well. Are you joining us?"

"We might as well."

"Does anyone else want anything?"

"I have a taste for a good burger. Baby Carisi loves burgers."

"And pizza."

"Exactly."

"Medium-well, cheddar cheese and fries?"

"Yep and cheese sauce for the fries."

"Got it."

"What do you want, Carisi?"

"I think the Monte Cristo with onion rings."

"Got it. Fin?"

"I'll take a Reuben with fries."

"Anyone else?"

"We're going too."

"What about you, Erin?"

"Maybe I'll come with."

"I'll meet you there too."

"Ok. Are you calling Jay?"

"I could."

Olivia went to get her jacket and purse and Erin got hers as well. They left with Hank, while Jeff left with Shauna, Ed and Diana. Melinda went to get her stuff and met them there. Erin called Jay on the way but he said he was still at the training. When Hank and Ed arrived at the Pub, they parked and went in.

"Hey."

"Hey. Anywhere."

"We have one more comin'."

"Jay?"

"No. Melinda."

"Ok."

They sat at a bigger table and waited for Melinda to get there. She arrived and then everyone ordered their food. Olivia also gave Patty the order for Amanda, Carisi and Fin. She then went to put the order in and came back with the drinks.

"Did Noah have fun at school?"

"He said he did."

"What were the kids up to?"

"I think Lucy said they were headed to the park after lunch and nap time."

"Don't forget Lucy is off next week."

"Yeah, I know."

"How's Olive?"

"She's doing great. She's still trying to decide whether or not she wants to go back to work. She doesn't necessarily want Trevor to think that he has to support the family but he supports her no matter what she decides."

"They are so sweet together."

"They are."

"I'm sorry I missed Camille's party."

"Don't worry about it."

"This weekend was pretty busy for me. I decided I needed to take a little time for myself and have lunch somewhere that wasn't my office."

Olivia pulled up the most recent pick of Maggie.

"She is precious. So far, she looks like Trevor."

"She sure does."

Erin pulled up the pics from the party and showed Melinda.

"Ed's sister Patty made the cake."

"The dogs licking her face is adorable."

"That was so funny. That's Jay's niece Mia and that's Mia's big brother Owen. Both girls are definitely Halsteads. Jay's ready to start trying for the next one already but I'm not ready yet. Maybe in another year. I'm the one that has to go through all the major changes and go on desk duty."

"How long has he been wanting that?"

"Since Mia was born and then I talked him out of it but now ever since Maggie was born, he's brought it up again. I'm not ready."

"And that's comin' from the same guy who said he wasn't sure he was ready to be a father when you told him you were pregnant."

"Yeah, exactly. At one point he told me he wants a big family. Don't I get a say in the matter? I only want a couple kids."

"Does Jay know how you feel?"

"Yeah but when sets his mind on something, sometimes there's no changing it."

"He better."

"I know he better."

"Big families have their advantages and disadvantages."

"Oh, yeah. I completely agree with that. I'm only 1 of 4 but look at all the cousins I have. We all love each other like siblings sometimes. That's just on my mom's side. Mostly all the males on my dad's side are or were firefighters."

"Oh, wow!"

"That was just on my grandpa's side. My brothers didn't though. My dad said it was their choice. He was more understanding about them not wanting to be firefighters than Mom was with me not wanting to work here. Dylan is the only one of us that does work here."

Patty brought the food out and then everyone ate. Then Ed's phone rang, so he answered it. When he was done, he hung up.

"That was the Principal at Brandon's school. He had an accident."

"What happened?"

"These two older boys were throwin' a football around on the playground and one of them knocked into Brandon. He fell and is complaining about his wrist botherin' him. She said the kid that knocked into him apologized and said it was a total accident because he wasn't lookin' where he was goin'."

"Are you ok going by yourself? I think I've been up a little too long?"

"I can handle it. You want me to drop you off at home?"

"If you don't mind."

"I don't mind. I need the check first though."

"Ed, we got this and I'll get Shauna home. Go".

"Thanks."

Ed told his sisters he had to get Brandon to the hospital and he was taking Diana home. He would check in on their dad too. Erin told him she'd get Kara from school when she picked up Kelly. He kissed their cheeks. They left and headed to home. After he dropped Diana off, he went to the school.

"Hi Mr. Tucker."

"Is he ok?"

"He's in quite a bit of pain."

The Principal walked Ed to the Nurse's office.

"This is Michael Davis, who knocked into him. Michael, this is Mr. Tucker, Brandon's dad."

"Hi. I am really sorry this happened. It wasn't on purpose. I would never hurt Brandon. In fact, we've known each other for a long time. We were foster brothers last year. After a while, I was placed with the Callaghans and they said they eventually want to adopt me. No one has ever wanted to adopt me before. I had no idea this was where Brandon was until school started."

"How long have you been in the system?"

"Since I was a baby. I was born to young parents and from what I was told, they left me at the hospital. I'm not a bad kid. If it wasn't for Brandon and Lieutenant Voight, I'd probably be dead right now. Those people abused me more than anyone and told me that no one would ever want me. I didn't know how well I'd fit it here. Usually I go into a new school and I don't know anybody. I don't make friends easily because I don't know who I can trust. A lot of people don't understand what I've been through."

"My wife and I do. I'm a retired cop and she's also a cop."

Ed was looking for something to write on and it happened to be one of Diana's cards. He wrote their address and his cell number on the back.

"Here's my wife's card. I wrote our address and my cell number on the back. Maybe you might wanna come hang out with Brandon sometime."

"I'd like that. Thank you. I hope you feel better, Brandon."

"Thanks, Mikey."

Brandon and Michael did a fist bump and then he and Ed left to head to the hospital. When they arrived, they went in and got Brandon registered. They sat in the waiting room and waited for Brandon to be called. Olivia was there talking to a victim. This one was unrelated to the case. She saw them on her way out.

"Hey, guys."

"Auntie Liv!"

"How's your wrist?"

"It hurts."

"The kid that knocked into him was someone that he knew from his last foster home."

"Who?"

"Michael Davis."

"I remember him. He's a sweet kid."

"He seemed pretty sorry for what happened."

"They were pretty close."

"He did say if it wasn't for you and Brandon, he'd probably be dead right now."

"He was in pretty bad shape when we got there. Even Brandon had old fractures, so it's possible they will come up now but this hospital knows his medical history. If they don't look at his chart and question the old fractures, have them call me."

"I did give them both names when I registered him."

"Josh is here, so if you get him, he knows the situation."

Then Katie came out.

"Ok, Brandon."

"I'll check in with you later."

"Ok."

"See you later, kiddo."

"Bye."

Olivia left and headed back to the Precinct, while Ed and Brandon went with Katie.

"How's the ankle?"

"It's doing better. Did you want his old chart combined with this one?"

"Yeah, that's fine. I figured I'd give them both names because I know he was here under the other name."

"Olivia mentioned that you would probably be here with him and I wanted to take this because he knows me. He's also knows Sheila. We've gotten some new nurses lately."

"Olivia said Josh was here too."

"He is. He's been doing most of the Peds cases today. How's your dad?"

"The surgery went well. We'll check on him while we're here."

"Am I gonna have to have surgery like Grandpa?"

"Probably not. You'll probably be put in a cast."

Katie did what she had to do and left. Then Colleen came in.

"Hey, Junior."

"Hey, Ma. You left Pop?"

"Shauna is here and said Brandon had had an accident, so I figured I'd see if you were here. Hi Sweetie."

"Hi Grandma."

Colleen kissed both of them on the cheek. Someone came to take Brandon to get xrays done.

"Being here doesn't seem to bother him."

"He's been through it before."

"What exactly happened?"

Ed told his mother what happened.

"Something similar happened to you."

"Yeah, I remember that. Probably Eugene."

"It was Eugene."

"My entire life he did stuff and always managed to blame me for it."

"We all knew who it was."

"I always thought that not being able to trust anyone was because of my first marriage but maybe it's been longer than that. I don't think I ever trusted Eugene."

"I don't blame my sister for how he was raised because she raised him the same way she raised the rest of her kids. There was just always something not right about him. Maybe he thought you were more competition than anything else because of your closeness in age. The fact that Eugene was going to the parochial high school was one of the reasons we let you choose where you wanted to go. You and your brothers would have preferred not being in parochial school at all but the girls seemed to be ok with it. I figured they would have chosen to continue but you all wanted to go to the public high school. In a way, I could see why Patty followed you because Eugene still would have been there when she was there too."

"I probably would have gotten into fights with him every day. With that case a few years ago, if Olivia hadn't been there, I would have kicked his ass. I don't care who he is. He chose to hide behind the collar and thought he could get away with it. He's a coward and always has been. Man of God my ass!"

"That was pretty much the consensus of the entire family. He's getting what he deserves."

They kept talking and then Brandon came back. Diana had texted Ed to find out what was going on. He replied back and told her that he just got back from xray. A little while later, Josh and Katie came in.

"We have his results already. His wrist is broken. Because of the swelling, I'd wait until maybe tomorrow to get it casted and I'm guessing it'll be on for 6 weeks. Kids tend to heal faster than adults. Everything else looks ok. I'm going to put a brace on it and give you a sling. Keep it in the sling for maybe a week. When you get home, put ice on it again and make sure he keeps it elevated. You can give him Children's Tylenol or something like that for the pain. The Pediatric Orthopedic specialist's name and number will be on his paperwork."

"Got it. Thanks."

"No problem. Nurse Katie will get your paperwork ready."

Josh put the brace on Brandon's wrist and put the sling on him, while Katie went to get the paperwork. Josh gave Brandon a fist bump before he left. Ed texted Diana while they waited for the paperwork. Once Katie brought the paperwork in and Ed signed it, they left and went up to see Senior. Shauna was still there.

"How's he doin'?"

"He's still sleeping."

"That's nothing new."

"How are you doing, Brandon?"

"I'm ok."

"The boy that knocked into him was in the last foster home he was in and they were pretty close. He said he didn't mean for it to happen. You stayin' until Jeff is done for the day?"

"No. Olivia and Erin are bringing him home. Hank took us back to the Precinct after lunch and I took our SUV."

"We got in and out quicker than I was expecting."

"Do you have to pick up Kara?"

"Erin said she'd get both of them."

"I take it you ate at the Pub."

"Yep. There were 10 of us: Hank, Olivia, Erin, Al, Meredith, Shauna, Jeff, Melinda, Diana and me. I got the call about Brandon and took Diana home before I went to the school."

"Daddy, can we go home? My wrist hurts."

"Yeah. We can go."

Colleen kissed Brandon.

"Feel better, ok? I love you."

"I love you too, Grandma."

"We'll stop over later."

"Ok. Love you, Ma."

"I love you too."

Ed kissed Colleen's cheek and then they left. They went down to the SUV and Ed helped Brandon in. He got in and then he drove home. By the time he got there, Hank was at their house with the kids. Lucy had already gone for the day. Noah, Rachel and Jesse were watching a movie downstairs and Hank, Camille and Diana were in the family room. Brandon went over and curled up next to Diana, so she put her arm around him.

"How's my boy?"

"My wrist hurts."

"I'll get you something for the pain and then I'll call to schedule your appointment."

"Ok."

Ed went to get some medicine and a pillow for Brandon and then he fell asleep with his arm on the pillow once he took it. Ed then went to schedule Brandon's appointment. Once it was scheduled, he went back into the family room.

"Tomorrow at 10."

"Ok. What are we up to for dinner?"

"Honestly, I have no idea. What are you and Liv up to?"

"The kids want pizza, so Olivia is orderin' them and pickin' them up on her way home. She invited her squad over, so they can talk about that case. I'm sure she won't mind a few more."

"Pizza actually sounds good. Did she ever hear from Antonio?"

"She did but they still don't know who they're lookin' for. They found the "lab" and went in with a warrant, so they confiscated the computers to see if the can get lists of their "Clients". I think the ones that did it both here and Chicago are somehow connected to each other."

"It really wouldn't surprise me. I never would have expected the guy that was harassing Olive to be connected to an arrest we had made in Chicago."

"Exactly."

Diana told Ed and Hank about the idea she had.

Hank texted Olivia and told her that Diana, Ed and the kids were coming over for pizza as well and she replied that was fine.

"She's fine with it but I don't think it would have been a problem anyway unless she orders more pizzas."

"Carisi can probably eat one by himself."

"No kidding. Jay has been at a training all day, so he's probably gonna be hungry when he gets home."

"Was that the one for the new weapons?"

"I think so. Olivia mentioned that she wants to do the training for Hostage Negotiating."

"That I knew. I'm taking it as well, since it has been a while for me. There have been times when she can't get HNT to a scene where she is because they're working on another case. I would actually like all the Commanding Officers to have some kind of official training in it for that reason."

"It wouldn't hurt."

"Since New York has the 5 different boroughs, is IAB over all of them or does each borough have their own?"

"There's one just like in Chicago. There are people over me yet. I pretty much deal with Manhattan myself but there are others who deal with the other boroughs and report back to me."

"I was pretty much the same way. I don't miss it though."

"I don't miss workin' either. I never thought I'd like bein' a stay at home dad and grandpa but I promised myself that I wanted to be a better father to Noah than I was to Justin. Now we have Rachel."

"I didn't think I'd ever be a dad but I love it too."

"I love them but I'm glad I don't have Olive's kids all the time. I have a feeling this one is gonna be trouble."

"Kara was a little troublemaker. I did the best I could with her. I just cannot imagine what this guy went through."

"I can't either."

"Same with me. I feel the same way about Rachel. Olivia gets scared sometimes about how Noah could turn out."

"That's been one of her fears with him even before the adoption was final. That Johnny D guy was horrible. His lawyer was usin' the fact that Olivia was tryin' to adopt his son, so that was why she was so concerned with him bein' out of the picture. She assured me that wasn't true. The mother was an addict, so that doesn't help either. To me, it's about how they're raised."

"I love Kara more than life itself but I probably should have done things the right way."

"It's not like she doesn't know how she was conceived. Some women would rather do it the way you did it versus getting involved with someone and maybe having to deal with a custody battle later because the relationship didn't work out or because the father all of a sudden wants to be a part of his kid's life. You were smart for doin' it the way you did. If I had known that Erin was mine when she was born, I probably would have tried to get custody of her. Bunny was an unfit mother."

"Yeah, no kidding. I'm just glad you and Al were always the primary men in Kara's life. I did kind of have feelings for you after Camille's death but I didn't want to ruin our friendship. I'm glad things turned out the way they did. That includes finding Olivia and meeting Ed. She's mentioned our half-brother but it sounds like he has issues."

"Thank you for bein' honest but as much as I care about you, I don't know if I could have gone that route. I've even asked her if she would want to see her half-brother again and she said she doesn't really know. I even asked her if she'd want to see her old partner again and she said he's dead to her as far as she's concerned, so she doesn't care if she ever sees him again."

"I can't say that I blame her. He's an idiot for not contactin' her this entire time. He could have contacted her after what happened with William Lewis. I'm sure he heard about it. He'd no doubt give her grief for allowing me to be a part of her life. We never got along and probably never will. At least Amaro and I can be civil."

"His file definitely makes for interesting reading material and he sounds like he's more of a hot head than this guy."

"Olivia makes me want to be a better person especially after she threatened to arrest me. That was when she captured my heart but apparently she wasn't interested at the time."

"I think she was more than she realized. I kept askin' if I could buy her a drink and she kept avoidin' it but eventually said yes. I think you may have been part of the reason why she kept avoidin' it. We tried keepin' our personal and work relationships separate. I know she was hesitant beginning a relationship with me because of who I am but we had hoped no one in the NYPD would have ever found out about it. That blew up in our faces big time because we both should have known better. I'm glad things didn't become weird between us when we ended things. I'm just glad that I'm still a big part of her life."

"When I met you that first time in her office, it was a little weird for me."

"Honestly, it was for me too but I'm glad we became friends."

"I am too. I'm glad Diana ended up with you. I'm also glad that you were there for Olivia during that accident."

"I was too. If I could have switched places with her I would have. I'm glad you were there with Diana with that idiot in the park."

"I wouldn't have had it any other way."

"That's how strong our friendship has always been. I'm glad Al and Meredith are here now but I wish we could see Trudy and Mouch more often."

"I do too and so do Al and Meredith. I somehow doubt Trudy will be retirin' anytime soon."

"You're probably right."

The doorbell rang, so Ed went to answer it. It was Jay.

"Hey, Jay."

"Hey."

"Come on in."

"Thanks."

Jay came in and went into the family room.

"Hey."

"Hey. How was the training?"

"It was fine. They told us we could go home for the day once it was done. I got home and no one was there except the dogs, so I figured I'd try here."

"Dada!"

"There's Daddy's girl!"

Jay took Camille from Hank and sat down.

"Olivia is bringin' pizza home for dinner but she's also bringin' the squad home with her too."

"That case from the other day still?"

"Yep. Melinda had rerun the toxicology reports and somethin' had turned up after a couple days that didn't show up when she first ran them. Dawson called her and said they had somethin' similar. The "lab" where the drug was made is in Chicago. I mentioned where I thought it might be and that was where it was. Dawson said they found it and since they had a warrant, they confiscated the computers. Olivia already said if any of her people need to go out there, she'll send Erin and Fin."

"Never a dull moment. What happened to Brandon?"

"Someone knocked into him on the playground and he broke his wrist."

"Well, that sucks!"

"It does but as it turns out, the kid that knocked into him was his foster brother at the last place they were. He was very apologetic and said he would never hurt Brandon on purpose. He said the parents he has now told him they wanted to adopt him. He's never had that before."

"I cannot imagine what most of these kids in the system go through."

"I can't either. I remember the first night we had Brandon, he spilled something and ran and hid because he thought someone was gonna hit him."

"He has adjusted pretty well considering."

"Does he favor one of you over the other?"

"Not really. Obviously because he's not feeling well, he wants me right now."

"He seemed ok when I picked him up. He got to see Auntie Liv at the hospital and he saw Grandma, Grandpa and Shauna. Ma stayed with us, since Shauna was there. Liv said Josh was there and knew his situation. She said if he had someone other than Josh and they questioned the old fractures, to let her know. Katie was his nurse. She said Josh was handling most of the Pediatric cases today. I ended up usin' both of his names and they combined his charts."

"Ok, good."

"Was she there for another vic related to that case?"

"I guess this time it was unrelated."

"I just don't want her stressin' out over this case."

"Same with me."

A little while later, Erin brought Kara home and then took Kelly to the Orthodontist. Several hours later, Hank and Jay took the kids home and Olivia had ordered the pizzas. Once Kara was done with her homework and Brandon woke up, they headed over to Hank and Olivia's. Olivia and the squad left and she and Erin went to get the pizzas, while everyone else headed to her and Hank's. Fin, Amanda, Sonny, Shauna and Jeff arrived first. Shauna and Jeff stopped home and made sure things were fine with the kids and then they went next door. Hank had gotten everyone something to drink.

"Did you remember to get beer at the Pub?"

"I did. I knew we were gettin' low. This is the only one everyone drinks now."

"That's good."

A little while later, Olivia and Erin arrived at the house.

"Hello."

"Hey."

Olivia kissed Hank and Erin kissed Jay as soon as she set the pizzas down on the table. Camille was in her high chair playing with her food and she had already thrown some of it at Jay. Erin then kissed the top of her head.

"Mama!"

"Hey, you! I see Daddy is wearing your dinner."

Camille started giggling and Jay rolled his eyes. She then threw her mac and cheese at Erin before throwing it on the floor at the dogs. Everyone got some pizza and ate.

"How's that case?"

"It isn't going well at all. Antonio said they were able to get the Client list but so far, they have nothing but dead ends. They all seem to be fake names."

"Are you sendin' anyone out there?"

"It won't do any good."

"Have you had anymore vics?"

"No but it really bothers me that we can't get this guy."

"Is there a particular place where this guy gets his vics or does he seem to have a type?"

"He doesn't appear to have a type other than maybe women in their 30's. He seems to be attacking them and then leaves them in the alley behind the bar. All we can get out the vics we have had is they're coming out of the same bar. We've talked to employees but no one seems to know anything."

"They never do. What I would suggest doing is having someone go undercover in this bar and seeing if they can get this guy."

"I'll do it. I fit the age range."

"If Erin is gonna do it, then I'm goin' in with her to keep an eye on her. I don't want my wife goin' in there by herself."

"She'll be wearing a wire and I want Fin, Carisi and Jeff there as well. Amanda, Shauna and I will be doing surveillance."

"I'll be in on it too."

"If I wasn't pregnant, I'd do it."

"Can you get us what we need?"

"Absolutely. I can get undercover people if you would rather not use Erin."

"We're fine with it. You just now came up with this?"

"Actually, no. After Ed dropped me off to get Brandon at school, I was doing a lot of thinking. I mentioned it to Ed and Hank and they both agreed that it would probably be the only way to get this guy. If this entire thing backfires, then I'll take the blame for it."

"He seems to be doing it more on weekends though."

"Maybe so but we can never be too sure he won't do it any night of the week."

"True."

"We could probably use more eyes inside, you two."

"Who's gonna watch the kids?"

"My parents could probably watch them."

Jeff called his parents and he said they were fine with staying with all the kids. Diana made a call and got what they needed. Everyone finished eating and then Shauna and Jeff took all the kids to their house, while Erin got ready after she cleaned up. Jay cleaned up too. Diana and Fin went to get the surveillance vehicle. Once they got back, Olivia put the wire on Erin and then everyone left to head to the bar. They hoped this worked. When they arrived, the guys went in first and sat in groups of two throughout the bar. Jay and Fin were at the bar, Sonny and Jeff were on one side of the room and Hank and Ed were on the other. Erin came in and sat down at the bar opposite Jay and Fin. The bartender started checking her out, which annoyed Jay but he knew better than to blow the case. Hank got up and headed toward the bathroom. He spotted the office, so he decided to investigate it. It had a bed set up in the corner, so Hank took a picture of it and sent it to Olivia. He then planted the bug in the office and went into the bathroom before anyone saw him.

"Hank just sent me a picture of the office."

"He planted the bug as well. We're already getting video from it."

Hank had gotten back to the table after he gave everyone else a thumbs up. Olivia had texted him and told him she got the pic and they were already getting video from the bug.

"Is it workin'?"

"Yeah. Olivia said they're already gettin' video from it."

Outside, Chief Dodds arrived and so did someone else from Internal Affairs.

"Anything?"

"Hank got into the office and got a pic and he planted the bug in the office. We are already getting video from that."

"Hopefully this works."

"If it doesn't, I'll take the blame for it because it was my idea and I am also responsible for Hank and Ed being in there."

"Who's all inside?"

"Erin is the one undercover and Jay, Fin, Jeff and Carisi are in there as are Hank and Ed."

Olivia showed them the picture Hank sent her.

"Fin just said it looks like he put something in the drink he gave to Erin."

"This drug shows up a couple days later?"

"That's what Warner said. It didn't show up when she did the initial toxicology reports but when she reran it today, it showed up. She was able to determine that the drug was manufactured in Chicago. Sergeant Dawson with CPD Intelligence said they had a similar case and they located the "lab". They were able to confiscate the computers and get the Client lists but they were fake names."

"Was the lab shut down?"

"It was illegal anyway but everyone is in custody."

Erin had pretended to take a drink. The ones inside had seen the bartender send a text to someone.

"Drink up."

"I'm good."

"It'll make you feel good."

"She said she was good. What part did you not get?"

"I don't think anyone asked you. Please leave. You don't leave quietly, I'll call the cops."

"Yeah, whatever!"

The bartender walked around the bar, grabbed Jay and punched him before throwing him outside.

Erin got up and pretended to be tipsy. The bartender took her into the office and shut and locked the door. The bartender was surprised that Erin wasn't unconscious yet. He shoved her down on the bed, got out more of the drug and tried shoving it down her throat but she kept fighting him. The more she fought him, the madder he was getting. He slapped her hard across the face and started to pull her underwear off before pulling his pants down. Erin had kicked him between the legs.

"You bitch!"

He slapped her again and then the police had come in.

"NYPD! You're under arrest!"

"Pull your pants up, dumb ass!"

"Screw you! This bitch kicked me."

"Smart girl."

He pulled up his pants and then they put the cuffs on him. Olivia was still in the room. She helped Erin up and then Erin fixed herself up.

"You ok?"

"Yeah. That was close but at least we got him. Is Jay ok?"

"He's a little pissed but he's putting ice on his face. It wouldn't have gotten any further."

"He tried shoving the drug down my throat."

"That's when I almost lost it. William Lewis had done the same to me."

Olivia hugged her and they walked out of the room. Hank wrapped his arms around his daughter and held her until Jay came in. Jay wrapped his arms around Erin.

"I just wanted to protect you."

"I know."

Erin kissed Jay and Olivia kissed Hank. Erin put some ice on her face. Hank, Jay and Ed headed home, while Olivia and the squad headed to the Precinct. Olivia called Barba on the way, so he met them there. They interrogated the guy once his lawyer got there. He said he'd tell them whatever they wanted to know but he wanted a deal before he talked. Barba said there would be no deal, so then he refused to talk. They booked him and had him sent to the Tombs. Mostly everyone was then able to go home for the night. Fin looked into the person the guy sent the text to. Olivia texted Antonio and told him they got their guy and what they had done to get him. By the time they had gotten home, all the kids were in bed. Hank and Jay were still awake when Erin and Olivia got home. Jay had already taken a shower.

"So?"

"He would only talk if we offered him a deal. Barba said no deal, so we still don't know who he's working with or who he actually texted. He could still have been working with someone and doing the dirty work, while someone else actually does the rapes. We confiscated his phone and are looking into who it was he sent the text to before they went into the back room. Maybe it was his partner in crime in Chicago."

"Maybe it was the person financing it."

"That could be too."

Fin texted Olivia and told her the phone number came up a dead end. It was a burner. She told him to call it a night.

"That was Fin. He said it was a burner."

"That figures."

"I guess we'll see if the rapes stop with this guy in custody. Thank you all for your help."

"You're welcome."

Everyone decided to go up to bed. Erin went to take a shower, while Jay went to bed. Olivia got ready for bed and joined Hank. They kissed each other goodnight and fell asleep in each other's arms. Once Erin was out of the shower, she dried off and got ready for bed. Once her hair was dry, she joined Jay in bed and fell asleep.
