Summary
"Finney," Mando says, soft.
"Don't call me that!" The snarl rips through the quiet of the woods. "Don't ever call me that."
"Okay," he concedes, "Okay. I won't. But I need you to know, it doesn't… whatever he did, it doesn't make you less of a man."
Finn laughs, raw and bitter. He's been a man since he was thirteen. Because that's what happens when you lose your virginity, right? You stop being a kid. When you kill someone with your bare hands, that's adulthood. You don't get to go back to glow in the dark stars on the ceiling and model rockets. That's all kid shit. And Finn hasn't been a kid in years.
"What do you want, Mando?" he asks, and he sounds angry and exhausted and cracked in half.
"To talk."

Summary
"Hello?" he says.
"Am I speaking to Armando Reyes?" the short, clipped voice on the other end asks.
"This is he," Mando replies.
"My name is Ava Hanlon. I'm with social services. You're the godfather of Finney and Gwendolyn Blake, is that correct?"
He blinks. The names don't ring a bell. "Not that I'm aware of, no."
"Their mother listed you as their godfather," Ava says. "Hope Blake, maiden name Addler."

When her son is born, Hope lists an old friend as his godfather. She does the same when her daughter is born two years later. In 1978, Mando gets a call.Series

Summary
"The Grabber," Mando says carefully. "You're seeing him."
"He's across the fucking street," Finn snarls. His sweaty palm slides and squeaks where he's holding himself up.
Mando pauses. "Alright. Can you tell me- did you smoke tonight?"
"No," Finn burbles. "No, no, He's here. He's right over there!"
"Alright," Mando says, "Alright, okay. Where are you right now? I will come and make sure he doesn't hurt you. Just tell me where you are."

Summary
The radio crackles, the dial spinning. When Mando looks up, there's a snowman outside. He chuckles, a bit forced but needing the levity. "Very funny, Mustang," he says softly as he looks over a map of the area that he has spent years notating as he followed every lead. God, how did he not think to check the lake?
The radio clicks again, a loud shriek, and then kicks on. Whirling between channels too quickly for Mando to catch anything but a loud blur of noise. When he tries to turn it off, the dial sticks stubbornly. Like it's resisting him. As soon as he lets go, it spins freely again. The hair on the back of his neck stands up.
He grabs the receiver. "Bill," he snaps. "Is that you?"
