Narrative:
About 15 mins into climb out of ord, flight attendant told us that she thought she had an armed passenger and no paperwork. Her initial paperwork showed an armed passenger in seat Y. I asked her to determine if this was the passenger and she found that he was indeed armed and had filled out the appropriate paperwork at the gate. His name was X and he was with the feds. Neither I nor the flight attendants got our paper or notification.
