On Monday Zayn gives the day off to Alma, Micky's nanny, since Harry insisted the girls stay with him. Besides, Zayn would still have to explain the whole situation to Alma and he was definitely not in the mood. He had already spent the last few days off filling his parents in about Milly. Harry gave him permission to take her to meet her grandparents, Zayn insisted that he go along but Harry is stubborn and didn't think it was appropriate claiming it was "an intimate family moment" and it wouldn't make sense for him to be there.

The good thing is that Zayn's parents welcomed Milly as if she had always been part of the family, Trisha spoiled the girls all weekend. But his parents wanted answers, answers that Zayn didn't have yet. They were furious about the whole story of separating the girls and one of them living in an orphanage for two years.

Now that things have been cleared up, Zayn has to go to the station to start the one investigation that he never wanted to do. That of Wendy's whereabouts. Just the thought of it makes him sick.

"TWINS?" Louis shouts, probably making the entire police station hear him.

The first thing Zayn does when he arrives at his office is to tell his partner about the roller coaster of emotions that have been his last few days.

"What are you going to do about your crazy ex?"

"To be honest I hope she's dead. I'm only doing this because I owe the girls." Zayn doesn't even know where to start.

"Why don't you use Fernanda's little crush on you and have her do a background check on Wendy?" Louis sends him a knowing look.

"I'll do that not because of what you're assuming but because she's the best in her department" Zayn raises his eyebrows pointing at him. "Don't piss her off."

"Sure."

Zayn leaves his office and Louis follows right after him.

They head toward her table and Fernanda already gives them an eye roll.

Louis sits down in the chair across her.

"Fernanda. Fer. Can I call you Fer?" And so he begins.

"Knock it off, Tomlinson." She doesn't take her eyes off her work.

"I know you already have a lot on your plate right now and that you're not allowed to run background checks on citizens without a motive but I really need a favor." Zayn approaches her bending down so no one could hear him.

"No" She says sharply.

Zayn gives Louis a death stare to stop rummaging through the things on her table.

"Okay. Listen, everyone here knows how much I hate the mother of my daughter. You all know me and you know that I wouldn't be asking such a thing if it wasn't a life or death situation. Something has happened and I need to find Micky's mother." His hands squeezing the table in front of her.

Everyone at the station knows Micky and there isn't an officer who isn't charmed by her. Fernanda, for one, is always happy to keep her company when Zayn brings her.

Fernanda looks uncertain but she relents and says he'll have the papers on his desk by the end of the day.

"You're the best." He winks at her.

"And when you come to ask me for anything, don't bring your pet." She leaves her table looking at Louis with contempt.

Zayn laughs awkwardly and grabs Louis by the neck dragging him back to his office.

"See? Crush" He shoves Zayn's arm away.

"Fuck off."
