Yet Again


DISCLAIMER: All characters belong to Dick Wolf.

Author's Note: This story is dedicated to mccoylover, who inspired me to write more Law & Order fanfiction. Thanks!


Yet again, Lennie Briscoe let his daughter Cathy walk away from him, leaving him feeling guilty about his poor parenting skills.

Yet again, he is awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call, summoning him to the scene of a homicide.

Yet again, Lennie sees the broken body of someone he loves.

Yet again, he cries at a funeral, goes home alone, and tries (sometimes successfully) to resist the siren song of alcohol, promising to hake him forget his sorrows.

Yet again, he is ironically reminded that history repeats itself; and yet again, there is no comfort, only pain and sorrow, in that lone, empty thought.
