Biography[]
Organized Crime[]
Miles was introduced for the first time when he showed up at Stabler's door with flowers for Bernadette. Stabler opened the door and Miles gave the flowers to Stabler which were meant for Bernadette. Stabler then asks Bernadette who Miles is and Bernadette told Stabler that he was a friend of hers. However, Stabler and Eli both had suspicions that Miles was involved with Bernadette. The next day, Miles showed up at Stabler's door again with another flower for Bernadette.
Bernadette then invited Miles inside for coffee and breakfast with the family. Stabler then welcomed Miles into their home before jokingly making remarks about his involvement with Bernadette. Later that night, Miles entered Wheatley's car and received a huge amount of cash from Wheatley. This was when Miles was revealed to be working for Wheatley, who hired him to stalk Bernadette. Miles told Wheatley that Stabler might be his new stepson if all goes well.
After Wheatley caused a blackout and held New York City hostage, Stabler rushed home to check on Bernadette but Miles was there instead. Miles then told Stabler that he left Bernadette at home alone for a few moments which Stabler criticised Miles about. Miles then apologised to Stabler and Bernadette told Stabler off about acting bossy towards Miles. Later that night, Miles and Bernadette were seen dancing to the music played by a live band on top of the building.
However, Miles spots Angela stalking them on the steps on the sides of the backyard. Angela then signals to Miles that Wheatley's men have arrived to kidnap Bernadette. Miles then took Bernadette inside and locked the doors. Before Miles could explain what was going on, Miles kissed Bernadette before Wheatley's men broke into their home. Miles pretended to get into a fight with one of Wheatley's men who knocked him out before kidnapping Bernadette.
After Bernadette was held hostage by Wheatley, Wheatley attempted to get away with Angela. While Stabler was busy locating Bernadette, Wheatley revealed to Stabler that Miles works for him which angered Stabler. After Bernadette was found unharmed tied up to a chair, Miles appeared awake with a bruise on his face. Stabler then ordered one of the police officers to arrest Miles. Bernadette then became confused but Stabler told Bernadette to trust him. Miles then apologised to Bernadette as he was being taken away.
