*Sonny's POV*
When I walked in to the squad room I was hoping to see Maia there at her desk. Her brown hair falling in front of her face, her brown eyes darting over to look at who came in. Her cheeks warming up when she sees me, the beautiful smile that spreads across her face when I greet her.
I shook the memory out of my head, focus.
"We've got some new footage from Garcia's necklace this morning," Liv pulled it up on the TV. Detective Daniels was standing away from us, he looked angry.
The footage showed the youngest brother Micky popping champagne.
"We're moving out of here!"
Maia turned so that you could see each girls reaction to the news. They looked upset and worried.
"I've got a great apartment in the good part of this town," I heard one of the girls speak up.
Then Micky pulled out his gun on them. We all reacted in some way when Garcia rushed forward and stepped in front of it.
"I'll shoot you too, sweet cheeks."
My blood ran hot, this bastard. After they left I heard Maia ask the young girl if she was ok.
"That's not the first time they've pulled a gun on us."
The video stopped and we all looked to Daniels for answers.
"Does anyone else know about the case, Garcia going undercover?," he was looking at us accusatory.
Lieu scoffed at him. "You think it was one of us?"
"Who else would it be?," he asked.
"I don't know, maybe you should look into your department. Where the case started?," Rollins snapped.
Daniels shook his head. "They're leaving the state because someone tipped them off, we're gonna move in as soon as Garcia gets more evidence." We watched him walk away.

"There has to be something we can do, Lieutenant?," I asked her.
"Believe me, we're looking in to it but these guys are pretty clean. They'll slip up soon enough," Liv looked at the TV where it's paused on Maia's face. She looked worried.

"Lieutenant, we've got some new footage from Garcia's camera," Fin pulled up the new feed on the TV. "Daniels just got this."
"These guys sent me down here to get a case of beer. But that's not beer, right?," she grabbed a case of beer but showed us packages. Clearly powder and pills wrapped up for shipment.
"Does this mean I get to go home?," she whispered.
We were already moving around and getting the paperwork ready, nothing could be left out. I was gonna get to see Maia soon enough.

*Garcia's POV*
I smiled to myself as I made my way up the stairs. I instantly pulled a face when I came into view though.
"What's wrong, sweetie," Pearl came over to me.
"I think I broke a nail," I pouted.
Mick rolled his eyes from behind the bar. "Girls."
I heaved the case up on the counter and looked at my nails. They were fine but I needed the cover.
"I must've pulled it back a bit. Hurts like hell."
"Change of plans, girls. We're leaving a little early tonight because there's a lot of heat around. I got a guy who's​ letting me take his bus with us," Freddy came over, he threw his brother a nod. "Go home and pack a bag, I also expect you all to look your best."
Shit. So soon? What if SVU didn't even get my video feed?
"Go get dressed up special eh, girls," Micky shouted to us. We grabbed our bags and started heading out. I noticed Viviana stay behind but walked out quickly.

I wore a tight red dress and ankle boots to match. I put on a jacket and made my way back to the club. I had a bag ready with some clothes and shoes in hand as well.
I was one of the first few to arrive so I headed to the back room where we put on our makeup or the rest of our costumes, a few of the girls were waiting there already.
"Let's see then," Viviana gave me a look down. I took off my jacket and did a little twirl. I don't see why we had to dress up if we weren't dancing, maybe there was another plot brewing.
Viviana nodded in approval and waved me away. I walked over to Pearl who was wearing a short black dress and knee high boots, she looked sad but smiled up at me when I came over.
"Nervous?," she asked once I sat next to her.
I nodded. "Never been to Vegas before."
She smiled. "It's gonna be ok, Ana. We'll get through this."
"You're too good to me, Pearly."
"You too, sweetie pie. Those cookies you made for me when I fell the other night were delicious," she leaned down and gave me a kiss on top of my head.
I was gonna miss her the most, hopefully she doesn't take it too hard when I tell her I'm a cop.

Once the rest of the girls arrived we all got in a van and started heading out. The twins were talking amongst themselves the whole time and tried to keep morale up.
"Vegas! Who's excited?," Fred shouted like a mad man.
"Yay!," we all said this without cheer in our voices.
We were driving for a few hours when they finally decided to pull over, we were almost out of New York.
"What's wrong?," Viviana said, angry at being woken up from her nap.
"Gotta piss," Mike said with a laugh.
"Me too," Ava and Sophie said in unison.
We all got off of the van, I checked my phone to see if I had gotten anything from Daniels or West. Nothing. I huffed as I headed into the gas station and went to the bathroom. I walked out and went over to the snack aisle to get something for the road, I needed to keep my cool up somehow. I was about to pay when Pearl ran in grabbing my hand and tugging me towards the back exit. I didn't understand what was happening when I heard sirens. Ava was coming out of the washroom with Sophie, Pearl got them as well. We rushed out and headed towards the trailer trucks. The rest of the girls were there waiting, scared. I saw the flashing blue and red lights pulling in to the station.

We had just regrouped when we were ambushed.
"Going somewhere, ladies?," Viviana had her gun trained on us. "My brothers may be stupid but I'm not. Come on let's get back to the van."
"It's too late, Viviana! The cops are already here," I shouted at her.
"Who do you think called them? My stupid brothers will take the fall but I won't!," she cocked her gun when I heard shouting.
"NYPD, put your hands up!," Liv shouted from afar.
Viviana turned and dropped her gun. "Please, they made me do this!"
Before I could react at her poor acting, I felt a hand grab me back. "Sweetie, we need to leave," Pearl tugged me towards the back of the group.
I went with her. "Why, Pearl, they're here to help us?"
"If they take us in we'll be put away for the drugs in the van, come on."
We ran around the back of a trailer when we ran into Fin.
"It's ok, we're here to help," Fin told us calmly.
Pearl pulled me close, Fin noticed this. "Ok, she's new to this, she didn't know about any of this."
She was lying to protect me, and I will do the same to protect her. We were a team, no, a family. And you do whatever it takes to keep your family safe.
