Finn pushed his hair back from his face and strode over to the toy basket. Ariel was feeling rambunctious today and he was having difficulty keeping her focused. Not that he could blame her. He'd rather play, too. The sun's rays were hot on his back, drying his wet suit. The weather girl had predicted a steady sixty five degrees today and she hadn't been wrong.

Getting out of bed had been the last thing he wanted to do this morning, but he'd agreed to help out with Ariel's training before yesterday's incident. Mario, who looked after the dolphins, had begged Finn to cover for him so he could attend his annual family reunion. Finn knew from experience the sadness of not seeing your family as regularly as one would like, so he was only too happy to agree. Of course, that had been before he'd spent the longest nine hours of his life locked in a jail cell with a fidgety crack addict and a drunken biker.

He'd spent an unsettled night tossing and turning in his bed, finally getting up at the ass-crack of dawn. After another scalding shower where he scrubbed at his skin until it was sore, he'd made himself a thermos of strong coffee and headed to the park.

His friend and colleague, Katie, had found him sitting on the benches watching the dolphins frolicking in the show pool. Finn smiled to himself as he rummaged through the plastic rings, floats and balls in the plastic chest. She'd clacked her way down the stone steps in her high heels and sat down. He'd leaned into her when she simply curled her fingers around his and laid her head on his shoulder. They'd sat there like that, neither saying a word until it was time to start work. Finn had been grateful for both her comfort and her silence. He'd met Katie his first day on the job and they'd clicked immediately. In fact it had been to Katie that he'd planned on taking Kaylee yesterday before the shit hit the fan and he'd hit the dirt.

"Finn, you got company!"

Starting at the sound of Chris's voice, Finn turned on his heel. His stomach sank when he registered the man beside Chris was none other than Aiden Reid. Crap! What the hell did the man want now? He had to hold that thought as an excited bundle of arms and legs hit him just above his knees.

"Finn! 'Member me?"

Finn disentangled himself and then crouched down in front of the little girl. He tapped his chin and exaggerated a frown, taking great care to look her over as he pretended to search for her name. "Hmm, let me think," he said, drawing out the last word. "I got it! Frank." His eyes widened when she giggled and shook her head, soft brown hair falling around her heart-shaped face. "Not Frank? I could've sworn you. Okay, give me a minute. Not Frank. Hmm, Petie? Mollie… Petunia?" Kaylee's laugh escalated after each failed suggestion and even he had to admit that Petunia was probably pushing it.
