{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie swore when she heard the sirens turn off, but those red and blue lights still going and there was a knock upon the apartment door. She dropped the bloody knife, and yanked the sleeves down over her cut arms, and there was another knife. "Just a minute! I'm not decent!" She yelled to the door. She went to the door, and knew who it was before she looked up at the Detectives face. Fin had a particular scent about him, his aftershave, and the smell of death and blood that he could never really wash away, no matter how long a shower he took. But he smelled like baby powder now. Abby was safe with him, thank God.
"I-is there anything I can help you with, Officer?" She called him an officer on purpose, because she hoped he wouldn't realize it was her. Her hair had been dyed red, and she was wearing a very short miniskirt, a red tank top with a plunging neckline, and a denim jacket that was starting to stick to her bloody cuts.
Just answer the questions short and sweet, and don't say anything that will let him know. Julio will kill you if Fin realizes. Katie told herself.

{name:Fin#|#picture:2}Fin eased his way into the door that was opened slightly.
"Got a call about a domestic goin down here, lady. Ya need help?" Fin started to question. "crap, Katie, Katie? What the hell have you done to yourself?"
Grabbing her by both arms Fin dragged her to the couch and sat her down.
"Don't look away from me little girl," Fin said with more force than he intended. "Why did ya run? Ya needed to trust me. I ain't afraid of no Julio. Get up and get your ass out the door. We are goin home NOW."
Fin didn't take NO for an answer and ushered Katie down the stairs and onto the street. Pulling her to the car, he opened the passenger door intending to put her in the passenger seat, but he stopped and grabbed her in a quick hug.
"No one touches my family, ya hear that little girl." Fin said, his voice filled with unaccustomed emotion. "Get in the car, we are goin home."
He didn't give Katie much choice and she got in the car.
As he put the key in the ignition, he reached for his cell and quickly dialed Jean's cell. Getting her voice mail he left a quick terse message.
"Get Abby to my house quick, her moms is coming home and TELL NO ONE not even anyone at the 1-6. I only want you involved"
Turning to Katie, he asked again her why she ran.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie didn't answer him, but merely said in a hard voice, "Who the f*** do you think you are, Fin? You can't just take me out of a place. I was doing just fine, thank you. Now pull over and let me out, NOW. I'll walk home, and you leave me the hell alone."
She wanted to throw her arms around him and tell him everything, but she couldn't. She couldn't tell how Julio constantly violated her, and how he made her sell herself to get food money, even though he was wealthy. How he would tie her to a chair and make her watch him kill someone. How he'd bring girls over to sleep with, while she was drugged out on the couch. She just couldn't tell him.
She sighed and knew Fin would never let her out of the car until he got answers at least. "I ran cause I knew Julio would kill you for 'having' me." She said. She bit her lip and asked, "How's Abby?" She glanced down at her cut arms, and saw the blood starting to seep through her jacket sleeves. She took them from her lap, and tried to push them down into the seat, so Fin wouldn't notice.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Abby is just fine. Growin like a weed. Jean tries to help out with her when her schedule permits. Otherwise she is in The Godard School daycare. She is lovin it." Fin replied.
They rode in silence for a few minutes, then Fin began to speak again.
"Ain't no way in hell I'm letting you go. If I have to chain you to me and drag you everwhere I go, I'll do it. Julio is a scumbag murdering pimp, but he don't scare me. Hiding the arms ain't workin. Mind telling me why you are bleeding?" Fin questioned. "And I want the truth not some bullshit answer you think I want to hear."

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}She decided not to jerk him around and she knew this was Fin. He cared, for some stupid reason. He cared about what happened to her. Maybe he even loved her, like she loved him in a fatherly way. Like how she loved Abby, like she was her little girl.
She eased the denim jacket off her shoulders, gingerly pulling the material off her arms. Once it was off, she held out her arms so he could see the current cuts, as well as the older ones.
"They're on my legs and stomach too." She said. She had been cutting since she was ten, but never so bad. Old wounds had been repopened, and she had countless new ones. The latest ones had been goozing blood, and didn't look like they were gonna stop soon. Around her wrists, she had ligature marks, same as her ankles. Fin could see her cut marks and the ligature marks from when Julio tied her to the bed for him and his friends. Her feet were bare, since Fin hadn't given her a chance to get her shoes, so those were covered in a few scratches from the cement.
Now that she had taken the jacket off so he could see her bloody arms, she just had on her jeans, red tank top that was cut very low, and her.
She started picking at one of the scabs, slouching down and looking out the window, rocking herself back and forth.
"Where we goin' Fin? Don't take me back to Sterling's. He couldn't understand why I couldn't be in a locked room. He sucks when it comes to victims. I-" She stopped talking, and said weakly, "I don't feel so good, Fin."
Katie leaned against the seat and her body went limp as she passed out.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean awoke with a start when Elliot shook her, and he backed off wearily.
"You're cell rang, but I couldn't answer it in time. Figured you'd wanna know." He said, perching on the edge of the cot, with a smile, as she scrabbled around and listened to her voice mail. First she smiled, then looked concerned, and finally looked at Elliot.
"Er, Scott's got himself into a bind, so I gotta go...Cover for me?" She said, knowing it was a lie that would hold, for a while. Scott would get himself into 'binds' every-so-often, and Elliot would often cover for her. He nodded, with a smile, and she gave him a quick hug, before darting off to get re-dressed, and headed out to daycare, then onto Fin's
She scooped Abby up, with a poor excuse, but the daycare supervisors knew what they needed to, knew she'd be safe. She quickly settled her in the car, and gave her her soft toy, then drove as fast as she dared to Fin's, as she dialed his number.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Oh crap, Fin thought when he saw Katie's wounds.
He listened to what she had to say, wincing at the pain in her voice.
"Katie, it will be OK. I ain't taking ya no where but my place. Our home and Abby's." Fin stated quietly.
His cell rang at that moment and he saw Jean's number. "Tutuola, he said hurriedly. "Jean, I'll meet you at my place in 10 minutes"
He turned to Katie to tell her the next person she would be seeing was Abby.
Katie called his name and passed out.
Oh crap, Fin thought, this ain't good. Fin stepped his foot heavy on the accelerator and hurried home.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}A little while later, Fin had screeched to a stop outside their apartment. She came around and she saw Fin's face swimming over her, concerned. "Food. I need food." She said, so he'd know what it was she needed. Julio had just untied her, and had smacked her around, and one of the neighbors must've called the cops, and Fin must've gotten the call, or something like that. She had started cutting and then Fin had come and saved her ass. She had always needed a dad, and he came into her life, as someone who had arrested her, and then saved her ass. It seemed like he was always saving her ass.
Kate concentrated on staying awake. She kept her mind on her babies. On Abby, who must have grown, and Julio's baby in her stomach. The baby she was afraid she would hate. She quickly thought of Fin, who would keep her safe, even if it meant his death.

{name:Fin#|#picture:2}"We are home, little girl" Fin murmured to Katie, "Jean will be here with Abby soon. I'll see ya get some food, but first a bath and some ointment for those cuts."
Fin helped Katie up the stairs and opened the door to the apartment.
"Katie, let's get cleaned up." Fin said softly. "Then I will treat you to the best kraft Mac-n-Cheese on the planet. Look at me Katie. I won't let anyone hurt you. I ain't scared of Julio or any other piece of crap. I was raised on the mean streets. Trust me. Nothin that happens will change that. I ain't gonna give up my family. I chose work over Ken and Terry years ago. I spent the last 3 rebuilding with Ken. It ain't happenin again. Got it?"
Fin lead Katie to the bathroom and began to draw bath water.
"Get in and I will get ya a robe and towels, and if you are thinkin of jumping out the window forget it. It's locked and I will stand guard out here till you're done. Now don't go givin me no wide eyed stare. I know ya little girl. Wouldn't put nothing past ya, but I love ya and Abby. Get that straight." Fin spoke with firm kindness.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie listed to his speech, then she walked over to him, and said carefully, "I love you too, Dad." She hugged him. "I'm glad I'm home." She pulled away, his skin and jacket smeared with the blood from her arms. She was smiling one of her rare smiles. Her eyes were twinkling and she looked happy. But she heard a car screech to a stop outside the building, blasting rap music. "That'll be Julio or one of his boys." She said, fear plain on her face. She backed away from the door, and leaned against the wall, sliding down it. She was so afraid he'd take her back
"I don't want to go back, Dad." She said. "I wanna stay here with you and Abby."

{name:Fin#|#picture:2}"You're not going back to Julio or anywhere but here." Fin replied sternly.
Walking slowly over to the window, Fin leaned up against the wall to the right of the window and looked out. Parked in front of the apartment building was a late model SUV with 2 punks inside, music blaring.
"Go get in the tub," Fin told Katie. "I can handle punks."
Fin eased away from the window and reached for his cell. He called the local precinct and asked to have a patrol car sent to respond to a noise complaint.
Fin didn't think that Julio would try anything stupid yet but would intimidate Katie. Murdering punks like Julio thrived on the fear of their victims. This time the tables would be turned.
You punk son of a b****, Fin thought, you better watch your back. You will live to regret touching me or mine.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie got in the tub, locking the bathroom door behind her. She knew Fin could handle himself. But she wasn't so sure she could.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean started to pull up outside Fin's apartment when she saw the car. "Dammit." She hissed, glancing back at Abby. She instead, headed around the block, remembering a relatively unused parking lot behind Fin's apartment. If she handled this right, she could get in, give Abby to her mom, and then be back out in time to deal with the punks, who she guessed were here for Katie.
She hurried up the back stairs, after parking her car, and then was about to knock on Fin's door when he burst out.
"Fin, you have visitors. Not me and Abby...You already know this." She finished, quickly. Course he did, he was Super Fin.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin stopped quickly to avoid running Jean over.
"Yeah, those punks are here to intimidate." Fin said to Jean, as he gave Abby a kiss on the cheek. "Go on in Katie's taking a bath. I called the local precinct on a noise complaint. They will chase those punks away. I'm going down to watch where they can't see me. I intend to see that Julio and his punk ass gang are ticketed if they so much as belch in public."
Fin sprinted down the stairs as the Squad Car pulled up. Standing to the side of the front door, he saw the local boys ticket the punks. Minutes later the SUV sped off.
Ticket number one Fin thought to himself as he returned upstairs to his apartment.
