{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin got out of his car and approached a City Service worker, flashing his badge, he asked to be lead through the traffic jam behind the water main break and on to the airport.
Thank God for that worker, Fin thought as he was once more on his way to JFK.
Fin parked the car at JFK's main terminal and asked for directions to security.
"Detective Tutuola," He said as he held up his badge. "I'm looking for a friend of mine and her baby."
"You, Tutuola?" The guard at the desk replied. "That little number stole your credit card and probably the baby."
"Bullshit", Fin replied. "That little number as you called her has a name, it's Katie. She didn't steal nothin. I gave her the card for baby stuff. She didn't steal no kid either. Do yourself a big ass favor and take me to her. Sooner rather than later."
The Guard pointed to the 3rd cell on the left in the holding area. "She's there"
Fin hurried to the cell and found Jean with Katie and Abby was with her also.
"Katie, what the hell is goin on here? Why didn't ya wait for me. I was comin for ya. Now we gotta get our asses outta this sling."Fin said with concern and exasperation

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}"I was afraid. The guy who did it, he killed a friend of mine. He... raped her and she was gonna report it. He found out, and she's another Jane Doe for you." The friend she was speaking of was the real mother of Abby.
She paused and added, "He didn't kill her baby, I don't know why. He just gave her to me."
She wiped away the tears
"I wasn't about to let Abby lose another mom."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin took a deep breath and chose his words carefully.
"Katie, what is happening now should be proof for ya that when all else fails, tell the damn truth. I already told security that I gave ya my credit card. Now, I'm gonna tell them that I know you and you are the baby's mother and were just trying to reach family. Ya see, little girl, one lie forces another. We got Jean, El and Lily involved. I'm askin them ta go out on a limb for us. One more false move and I turn you and that pretty little lady over to ACS personally. Ya gotta learn ta trust me."

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}She scowled and said, "I do trust you. It's the rapist I don't trust. I shouldn't trust you. The first time, you got me out of murder charges. When you found out they were feeding us only when we deserved it and doing those medical experiments and keeping us tied down all the time, so we had to go to the bathroom in our pants, and when they untied me to beat me, I killed them. That time, you did help. You got me Claire. But in twos year, she had killed herself, Fin. Wanna know who found her? Me. Came home from school, and go to the bathroom, and there she is, in the tub, the water full of blood. Did I ever tell you about the first one? You had to believe in God in that home, or you got a broken arm. I stopped beliving in that fake God when the Dad started an affair with me, and she shot me. After Claire, I got hooked on drugs. You got me into a good rehab. But now this. I shouldn't trust you, because every f**k**g time you try to help me, it gets fucked up." By this time she was shaking with rage and yelling and crying, holding the baby to her. "Why the f**k should I trust you when you usually make it worse!" OOC: I think Fin would know how much she needs someone to believe in, a person who helps her because he loves her, but not in a sick way. Up to you though!

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin motioned for Jean to leave the room, turning to face Katie and baby Abby, he said quietly.
"I'm sorry. Ya have had a bad time of it. If I failed ya, I never meant to. I shoulda checked on ya but I didn't. I should been a better father to Ken too, while we are on the subject, but I wasn't. All I can tell ya is I thought ya were safe. Turns out ya weren't. No way we can go back and fix all the crap we have both done wrong. I need ya to trust me and I want ta help ya. I can take ya home with me, get ya some help with drugs and make sure Abby is fed and clothed. I can't promise ya I won't screw up. Can we go on from here?"

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}"What do I gotta do for all those things?" She asked, biting her lip. She wanted it so much, but she had to be careful.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Ya ain't gotta do nothin, girl. Well not exactly nothing." Fin said with half a grin.
"I would like ya to walk your dishes into the kitchen and figure out where the dishwasher is. I would like ya to figure out where the clothes hamper is and how to get it to the laundry room and make clean clothes for you and Abby reappear. Then there is the diaper pail. If ya got it emptied, I could take it to the dumpster. Then ya can sit tight and make that baby happy."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin laughed a rare laugh back at Katie.
"I was hopin ya could, little girl. I could use that kinda help to keep the clutter down. In return I promise to keep my stuff away from your stuff. The kitchen and the bathroom are neutral territory. We will have ta share keepin it one step ahead of the health department. I'm gonna get ya released into my custody and we are outta here. Jean's got the carseat in her car. I want ya to learn to trust her, too. She's cool. Can ya give it a try?"

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}"Is there room for a woman and a baby?"
Katie gave Jean a look, then got to her feet, and circled her, and nodded. "She'll have to spend time with me, Fin." She said.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin took a chance with bringing Jean into the situation but his gut instinct on bringing her back into the room was on target.
"Katie, Jean is down with this. Ya'll be seeing alot of her. Munch is on extended leave in Baltimore. When Jean ain't with Lily, she'll be with me. I know her. Her gut instincts and street smarts are on target. Somethin tells me you two got more in common than either of ya think. Texican? Ya up to this?" Fin said with a slight grin.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean smiled, and nodded. "Katie, I don't expect you to trust me right away. But I hope we can both learnt o get along with each other, until you do trust me. And believe me, I know what it's like in cruddy foster care." She said, trying a soft smile.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean tried a smile, and realised this wasn't going to be easy.
"Nothing. Believe it or not, I'm actually in this for the satisfaction of putting these cowards away, and trying to help the people they hurt. It's not just their victims, it's the victims friends, their families, their kids." She said, glancing at Abbey subconciously.
