Forever Starts Today

Today

Captain Donald Cragen took a deep breath. "If anything is ever going to make me stray from sobriety it's going to be this." he muttered under his breath in complete exhaustion and frustration. He did not lose a detective he lost a son they lost a brother. He watched them through the clear window of his office. The loss was devastating the silence was unbearable. His eyes darted to Olivia returning from the bathroom, she had done a poor job of covering up the fact that she had been crying.

It had been only a month. Still it was as fresh as it had been yesterday. They say the adrenaline prevents you from feeling pain. Olivia had seen the blood pooling behind him but she thought it had belong to the victim. No one noticed, not even him. It was not until the Paramedic try to pull him up to work on the girl that he collapsed on him. The shot had been fatal.

A woman entering the precinct, pulled the Captain out of his reverie, she was dressed elegantly in a navy blue suit with a white silk scarf around her neck. He approached her quickly she seemed frail.

"May I help you?"

"Yes please, I am looking for Detective Olivia Benson"

"Right this way please" he escorted her the short way to Olivia's desk.

Olivia looked up from the paperwork she was filing and saw the pair walking in her direction.

"Olivia this lady is asking for you"

She locked eyes with the woman who was studying her carefully there was something familiar about her that she could not pinpoint.

"I am Olivia Benson can I help you?"

"I hope you will, My name is Rosemary Brandt, I am Calvin Arliss Grandmother"
