A Different Type of Family

Taken

Armando Riviera and Mike Foster eyed the sheet on Justina Marks. "Gold digger," Armando added. "A company gives her $10,000 for every child she puts in a bad home?" he asked as Mike sighed and shook his head.

"Those girls' were dead once she became their case worker," Mike added. "Let's tell the Captain."

"We need more proof," Captain Roberts added. "Solid."

"Jim Pearson was never supposed to foster a child again, but did and got two."

"And the girls' have male issues," Armando added.

"Are those documented?" Captain Roberts added.

"Sure thing," Mike added. "Jackson Owens has the original paperwork."

"Any word on Justina Marks?" Stef asked since she was tired.

"Nope. She is lost without a trace," Armando stated. 

"We open an investigation, but Stef you might be to close to the case," Captain Roberts added.

"How so?" Stef asked.

"You fostered the two dead girls' and it might be seen as retaliation," her boss added. 

"Fine," Stef added. All three officers left and went out to lunch.

In Oasis, "How is Callie?" Armando asked. "Still getting blamed by some of the girls' from GU?"

"Yup and it sucks," Stef added. "She is starting to blame herself."

"What?" Mike asked. "That's BS. Can I take Callie to on a dad and daughter road trip? I know it's not my weekend, but I need some time with her," Mike asked. Stef nodded. 

"It is fine with me, but I need to let Lena know and Callie," Stef added. Mike nodded.

At the Adams Foster home, "It might do her some good," Lena added.

"Great, but let's ask Callie?" Stef asked.

Callie was in her room reading a book, but not really. She heard a knock and her moms' walked in. "Hi baby girl. Mama and I need to talk with you," Stef added.

"Sure. What's up?" Callie asked scared.

"Well your dad wants to take you out for the weekend for a daddy and daughter time," Stef added.

"Mommy and I think it is a great idea. What do you think baby buggy?" Lena asked.

"I like the idea," Callie added. "Are you two okay with this?"

"Of course," the moms' added as they hugged their daughter tight.

The next day, Mike came for Callie after school and Track practice. She hugged him and he put her stuff in his car. "Hungry Princess?" Mike asked.

"Yes. Can we get pizza, wings and lasagna?" Callie asked.

"Sure. Killer Pizza From Mars? In Oceanside?" Mike asked.

"Sure. But all the way in Oceanside?" Callie asked with a look.

"Yes, then Disney land?" Mike asked as Callie nodded wide.

At Killer Pizza From Mars, Mike ordered a large Cluck Rogers Pizza, 50 original wings, and lasagna. "Smells good," Callie added as Mike nodded as they dug in.

"How are you cupcake?" Mike asked.

"Those girls' at GU hate me and some of them called me racist against black people," Callie added. Mike sighed and looked offended.

"But Becca stood up for me. She told them the truth that moms' were never going to adopt and that it was a week or two tops."

"What did they say after they heard Lena was your mama?"
