Hi, this is my 1st SVU fic so I apologize in advance for any mistakes. Enjoy!

The phone rang just as they turned onto their block.

"Hello? Hi mom. Yea the movie was really good, and after we went for pizza. Dad even let me order mine with sausage, onions, anchovies and pepperoni. It was great."

"I'm sure it was," Kathy Stabler said, as she cringed on the other end of the line.

"Would you ask your dad if he wouldn't mind stopping for some milk on the way home?"

"Sure mom, I'll see you later."

"Okay, bye Dickie."

"Bye mom."

"Dad, mom wants us to stop and get some milk."

"Okay, you know Dickie I was thinking with the amount of milk you guys drink how about buying a cow and sticking it in the backyard?"

Dickie just laughed.

"Dad!"

Kathy's sister had flown in from Chicago for the weekend and the girls were staying in and renting some chick flicks so Elliot decided to take Dickie out for a guys night.

"Dad? Can I get some cookie dough ice cream while we're there?"

"Sure, just don't tell your mother I let you eat it out of the container," Elliot said pointing a finger at his son.

"She hates that. Yesterday I tried to drink the orange juice like you do but I spilled it all over my shirt. Mom said that's what I get for being a pig. She also asked me where I learned to do that and I said that you had taught me," Dickie said with a smile on his face.

Elliot laughed.

"Tattle tale!"

They pulled in front of the convenience store and hopped out of the car.

"Hi Elliot, Dickie. How's it going?" The store owner Frank asked. Frank was a retired cop who was always looking out for the kids in the neighborhood, giving them free ice cream and making sure they didn't walk home alone late at night.

"Good Frank. How about you?"

"Can't complain,"

"Dad I'm gonna get the ice cream."

"Okay."

Dickie ran to the rear of the store while Elliot and Frank chatted.

"Dickie hurry up."

"Okay dad I'm coming."

Just then the bells on the front door chimed indicating another customer had entered. Unlike Elliot and his son, this customer was not looking for milk, or ice cream, he wanted money.

"Okay freeze," the guy said pointing a gun to the back of Elliot's head.

"Give me all the money in the register... Come on, let's move it a long here pops, I haven't got all night."

"Just take it easy..." Elliot started to say.

"Hey keep your mouth shut and don't move." The guy said nervously as he pressed the gun harder into the back of Elliot's head.

"Dad they didn't have cookie dough so I got rocky road instead." Dickie stopped when he saw the man with the gun.

The man was caught off guard not having noticed Dickie in the store before. He moved his weapon away from Elliot and pointed it at Dickie and pulled the trigger.

Elliot tried to push the guy away but it was too late. As soon as the gun went off Elliot knew that it had hit Dickie.

"Dickie!" Elliot rushed over and held his son in his arms

"Hold on buddy everything's gonna be fine." Elliot said as tears streamed down his face.

Frank got on the phone and dialed 911 explaining what had happened and requesting that they send an ambulance.

If you guys like it there's more to come just let me know. Please R&R. Thanks!
