It was a quiet day around the office until Benson broke the silence.
"We got a hostage situation people! Let's go! NOW!" Olivia Benson yelled.
The SVU team normally wouldn't work a hostage situation except for it was one of their own being held hostage. They arrived at the Carisi-Barba apartment along with backup. Olivia knew it was serious since she got Carisi's text. They knew two lives were at stake, but she didn't let Fin and Amanda in on just how serious things were at the moment.
"Has anyone called Barba?" Amanda asked.
"No I guess I better." Olivia said getting her phone out of her pocket.
Barba had been getting death threats again. He tried to play them off as just a common ordinary occurrence, but he should have taken it more seriously. She should have taken it more serious. She should have known not to send Sonny home without protection. Now the bastard was inside their home and holding Sonny at gunpoint.
"Barba." Rafael answered the phone.
"Rafael, it's Benson. We got a problem." Olivia said trying to steady her own breathing.
The pause causing Barba's stomach to drop.
"Sonny is being held hostage inside you guys' apartment."
"Well get him the hell out of there you know…" Rafael let the words die on his lips.
"I know Rafael. We will try to get him out as quickly and safely as possible." Olivia tried to comfort him.
Before Olivia could finish the call, two gun shots rang out catching the attention of the team.
"Benson? Olivia! Tell me that wasn't gunshots I just heard?" Rafael panicked, tears welling up in his eyes.
His voice barely registered to her.
"We are moving in. I will stay on the phone with you Barba." Olivia said leading the way into the house.
Fin was the one to cuff the suspect. Olivia's eyes caught sight of a body by the couch, covered in blood.
"I got an officer down! We need a bus now! Stay with me Carisi." Olivia said as she bent down next to Sonny.
Amanda tried her hardest to put pressure on the chest wound, while Olivia tried to put pressure on Sonny's abdomen, which was also bleeding.
Olivia almost forgot she was on the phone with Barba until she heard him sobbing.
"How is he Olivia?" Barba asked through the tears.
Olivia drew in a deep breath. "He's been shot in the chest and abdomen."
"And…the baby? Is she hurt?" Rafael asked.
Amanda gave a grimace look to Olivia. Her eyes widened as she placed her fingers to Carisi's neck and could feel his heart slowing.
Olivia was about to have her hands full with Barba.
