Chapter 1 The Arrival

Beep Beep Beep blared Amanda's alarm clock as she headed towards the shower to get ready for her first day at her new job as a detective in the NYPD'S special Victims Unit at the 16th precinct in Manhattan .she took quick shower brushed her teeth and went back to her closet to pick out her outfit. She decided on a pair of black jeans with a matching black t-shirt and black running sneakers. She went to the kitchen and decided to make some tea to take with in her mug. She grabbed her jacket her keys and her custom Atlanta baseball cap. She walked down stairs and jumped in her car. The drive over to the the one-six was nerve racking for Amanda she never thought she would end up here in the city of dreams doing what she loved. She took deep breath and entered the precinct. She entered through the double doors, she was stopped by Munch on her way through. "Excuse me this is a secure area". "I know I'm looking for captain Cragen." Just then the door to the captain's office opened the captain approached the blonde detective "I'm captain Cragen right this way." He ushered the blonde into his office and shut the door. Amanda took a seat and waited to be addressed by her new boss."On time I like that in my detectives". "Thank you captain" its an honor to work with you. "Well we are happy to have you. Let me warn you New York is a lot different from Atlanta so your going to have to learn to be quick. "I understand captain". Now that the formalities are taken care of I'll give you one last piece of advice "we here at the one – six treat each other like family". That made Amanda feel a little bit more at ease. So I guess its time I introduced to your co workers. Cragen stepped out of his office and called all his detectives over. "All right as you can see we have a new addition to our team this detective Amanda Rollins she just transferred from Atlanta I want you guys to her the ropes around here understand? With Rollins' addition I've decided to shake things up a bit and assign new partners Finn and Munch you guys are together Amaro you can be our rotating wheel and Rollins I'm pairing you with one of my best detectives. Just as he said that Olivia walked into the squad room "sorry about that captain traffic was crazy this mourning".No worries by the way I want you to meet your new partner Olivia meet detective Rollins. Amanda extended her hand to Olivia "nice to finally meet you I've heard so many good things about you" Amanda gushed.

"Nice to meet you too" Olivia said clearly not in a good mood she went right over to desk and drowned her self in reports she was wrapping up from old cases. Amanda went and got settled in her new home about four hours and 5 cups of bad coffee later Olivia got up, grabbed her jacket and said "I'm headed out for some food anyone wanna tag along Finn stood up and headed for the door with Olivia .they walked to pizza parlor about four blocks from the precinct. They placed there orders in the shop and waited to be served. "So what do you think of the newbie Liv?" Shes OK I guess I just cant get over how she practically lost it when cap said she was paired with me". "She was just excited I guess. I glanced at her desk she borderline worships your work". You think? I know it's a little much but that shows hunger she seems like a good cop. As Finn said that there orders seem to come in they sat in silence eating their pizzas they soon paid and walked back to the station. Were back Finn let the squad know anything new? No answered Nick. The detectives spent the remainder of the day organizing files .at about 4:30 ADA Alex Cabot walked in and greeted the detectives hey you guys up for a few cold ones after this hellish week? "yeah if your buying the first round" piped Munch enthusiastically she glanced over at Olivia "hey Liv Abby the guys and me are headed out to pound a few you in? Yeah I could use it after this week she grabbed her jacket and followed the group out the door. Amanda had looked up from her mountain of paper work and realized she should be getting home she grabbed her jacket ready to leave when she saw Olivia come back towards the squad room. "Hey Rollins were all heading to the bar you wanna come with? Yeah sure why not. Amanda could not believe it she was going to be out with her mentor. She grabbed her jacket and followed Olivia out. "We can take my car Amanda offered. "Cool they both headed to meet up with the rest of the group who was already at the bar. They walked in about 20 minutes later where they found Alex and the crew sitting at there normal table. "Hey guys" hey they all said in unison. Olivia sat in her usual spot to one side of Alex . you guys want those drinks now? "Yeah" the group said in unison Olivia decided to help Alex with the drinks at the bar, "So Liv I heard you guys got a detective from Atlanta". "Yeah we did she seems cool she idolizes me apparently". "She seems pretty cool". "Yeah". They headed back to the table.

"Here we go guys" Alex passed out the drinks and Olivia decided to called for a toast to welcome there newest Detectives into the one-six family "to Amanda and Nick". Here here they all chanted. The night had gone fairly well as each of the new detectives got to know the rest of the crew. As the night wore on Alex could not help but notice Amanda's constant glances at Olivia so decided to pull Olivia away from the group to talk. Hey Liv mind coming with me to the bar for a minute? She noticed the look Alex had given her and left. "Whats up Alex"? "Nothing Liv". Have you seen the looks Ms Atlanta has been giving you all night? "If I didn't know any better I'd say she was checking you out". "Gimme a break Alex shes not even gay. Really? "The way shes been on you all she could have fooled me". "Just drop it Alex" because even if she was she wouldn't go for me". "OK Liv I'll drop it". The duo rejoined the table and Olivia decided it was time she went home. "Alright guys I'm out of here I'm calling a cab". Just as she was Grabbing her stuff to leave Olivia noticed Amanda had walked out behind her.

"Hey Olivia?"

"Yeah Amanda"

"Thanks for tonight it was fun we should do it again."

"No problem see you Monday".

"All right see ya"

Olivia jumped into her cab and went home.

Amanda went across the street and noticed a parking lot where she spoke to an attendant and paid him to leave her car over night she called a cab and went home this had been one hell of an arrival for Amanda Rollins.
