Say my name, say my name

[Alejandro Riviera]

I don't want you to get hurt

Don't worry, we'll be okay. I can't let anything happen
Before I get a second date!

[Seth Spiros]

I don't want you getting hurt, either.

I don't want to ruin your investigation either.
But are you sure?

[Alejandro Riviera]

I'm sure
I'll keep in touch with you at all times, if it'll make you feel better

[Seth Spiros]

At least let me know if you need help.
It sounds dangerous.

I feel like I've been working for some evil killer this whole time...

[Alejandro Riviera]

I will
I'll call you if I ever get in trouble, I promise

And you didn't know. I didn't know until a few days ago, to be honest. It's not my case but
They're just kids, you know? Whatever these guys want to use them for, I can't let them go through with it

[Seth Spiros]

Good. Don't forget.

And I know I didn't know but... it still makes me feel filthy.
I hope you and your team can find the truth and get those kids out of there...
No kid deserves being kidnapped and
locked up or whatever they're doing to them...

[Alejandro Riviera]

I won't.

We'll get them out.
I work with the feds, you know. I'm supercop!
And Judah, that's my ex, he's amazing too
His boyfriend's also a cop from here so

...it's a lotta cop power, you know? If we can't do it, no one can!

[Seth Spiros]

That is a lot of cop power.

At least it sounds like you all know what you're doing.
I'll be working today and Friday night... Take your pick.

[Alejandro Riviera]

Tonight?

I don't want to show up to our date with a black eye
;)

[Seth Spiros]

I don't want you to, either.

I guess the sooner, the better...
I'll wait for you.

[Alejandro Riviera]

Okay I'll let the others know

And hey
Stop worrying

I'm not as fragile as you think
I'm actually pretty tough too, and I'm clean, I haven't been drinking or doing any drugs
I'll be fully alert, ready for anything

[Seth Spiros]

I can't help it. I worry for you.

But I think this is good for you. Being able to work and do your job again.
I hope you rediscover your passion for it.

[Alejandro Riviera]

Yeah...
I became a cop to help people. This is what I wanted to be when I signed up at the academy.
You know my dad and grandpa were cops too? It runs in the family

It's nice to be able to remember my calling
Thanks to you

[Seth Spiros]

That's pretty impressive, that it runs in the family and you're following in their footsteps. I feel like I disappointed my dad when I didn't go into the scientist thing but that's okay. He's got my brother and they geek it out at every family function together. Heh.

You just needed a little help, that's all.
And I'm always here if you need another pick-me-up.

[Alejandro Riviera]

Wait
Your dad and brother are both scientists?
You have a brother?!
Is he cute?

...oh my god we know nothing about each other
You
Were so right to wait

And I'll get a pick-me-up on the weekend :3
