Two weeks later…

"You should be more concerned with getting your fucking ass into gear and FINDING THAT FUCKING FLASHDRIVE!" Chad screamed into the phone

"It's been a month" said the voice on the other end "you need to face it; whatever that whore did with that evidence, she took the secret to the grave - I'd say your best bet is to pray that it never resurfaces!"

SIXTEENTH PRECINCT…

Fin and Nick were about to leave the squad room to answer a call when a tall, slender young man with waist-length dreadlocks and dressed in what looked like pajamas, entered looking somewhat nervous.

"Hey brotha" he called to Fin "You Sergeant Benson?" Fin stopped, looked over at Nick and then back at the young man.

"No, and I ain't ya brotha!" Fin grumbled

"My bad, son!" The young man apologized before turning to Nick "Ayo papi, you Sergeant Benson?"

Nick sighed and rolled his eyes.

"She's on maternity leave" he said, annoyed with the young man.

"Oh. See I gotta give her something" The young man informed the two detectives.

"Give her what?" Fin asked

"This" the young man said as he retrieved a small package from his pants pocket.

"What is it?" Fin asked

"Hey man, I don't know - my sister told me that if she didn't come pick it up in two weeks that I had to bring it to this address and give it to Sergeant Benson.

"And the two weeks passed?" Nick asked

"It passed twice…I kinda forgot about it"

"You smell like you been bathin in marijuana" Fin said, stepping closer t the young man

"I um; it's for my cataracts"

"Yeah right!" he said as he snatched the package "I'll make sure Benson gets this. How come you don't seem too concerned?"

"Sara and me ain't exactly close. She came by – that surprised me and she said "Sean, I need you to hold on to this, if I don't come back for it in two weeks…"

"Let me get this straight, your sister gives you a package to bring to the police if you don't hear from her, you don't hear from her and you're not worried?"

"Not really" Sean answered nonchalantly

"And you don't wanna file a missing persons report?" Nick asked

"Nah, she'll turn up, she always does." Fin shook his head disbelievingly

"This guy's a fucking genius" he mumbled to Nick "Who's your sister?"

"Sara Harris"

"Why does that name sound familiar?" Nick asked Fin.

"Because, Sara Harris is a friend of Amanda."

OLIVIA'S APARTMENT…

"Nick, Fin, this is a surprise" Olivia greeted upon opening the door and invited the two detectives inside.

"Hope we're not disturbing you" Fin apologized and kissed her on the cheek.

"No, actually Noelle and I just got back from taking a walk and I just put her down" she smiled as the three of them made it to her living room.
