A/N: This story is way overdue in my opinion. This picks up at the courtroom shooting during "Surrendering Noah".
Disclaimer: I own nothing of SVU or Chicago PD!
In the criminal justice system, some killers are so depraved that it takes multiple
police agencies to bring them to justice. This is one of those investigations.
"He has a gun!" Nick shouted as Johnny D put the gun to the court officer's head.
RBoth him and Olivia had their guns already fixed on him.
"Stay back!" Johnny D shouted at them.
Nick tried to talk him down. "Drop the gun, let her go."
Johnny D started backing out the door. "Back off!" He pointed his gun at another court officer and fired, then at Judge Barth and fires, both of them falling to the floor. He backed up towards the door and out, Nick following him.
"Nick, Nick don't!" Olivia shouted at him as Nick followed Johnny D into the hallway and shots fired.
Olivia followed the paramedic, who was rolling Nick out on a stretcher. "How is he?"
"We got a pulse." The paramedic told her. "We gotta go!" She shouted to the other paramedic.
Amanda came running up behind them. "I'll ride in the ambulance, I'll meet you at Bellevue." She raced off with the paramedics.
Olivia turned and ran back into the court room. "How's the judge?" She asked Barba.
"She's alright, she got hit in the shoulder." He told her as the paramedics wheeled Judge Barth out of the court room.
Olivia faced Ariel, who was sitting in a chair next to them. "Ariel, you alright honey?"
Ariel nodded. "Yeah, I think."
"Okay." Olivia nodded and went back out in the hallway, leaving Ariel with Barba.
"She's gone. One blank to the temple." Carisi said, kneeling over the court officer's body.
"Johnny D?" Olivia asked Fin.
Fin shook his head. "He's gone, we can't find him."
"How the hell does he disappear from a courthouse?" Olivia said, frustrated. "Do we know if he got hit?"
"We're not sure yet. Amaro gonna make it?" Fin asked her.
"On route to Bellevue." Was all she could say.
Carisi came up behind them. "Sarge, we just radioed all the security, they haven't seen Johnny D leave any exits."
"He's still in the building." Olivia said. "I want everyone searching, he's armed and dangerous." She said to all the court officers and the other detectives.
Everyone dispersed to look for Johnny D.
"Where's Rollins?" Fin asked Olivia.
"She's with Nick at Bellevue." She replied. "Come on."
They started searching for Johnny D.
"If he's still here he's not staying for much longer." Carisi commented.
As they headed down a back flight of stairs they heard gun shots ring out from below.
"In route of suspect, officer down!" They heard over the radio.
"We need a medic!" Fin shouted behind them as they rushed down the stairs and another gun shot rang out. They passed the body of an officer, who was still alive, laying near the exit to the street outside.
"We need a medic down here now!" Olivia shouted up the stairs and into her radio at the same time.
They saw movement below them on the stairs that led to the basement.
"Johnny D freeze!" Fin shouted.
Their response was several gunshots towards them, and they all ducked near the floor. Carisi and Fin fired back, but there was no indication they had hit him.
The officer next to them gasped, she was going in and out of consciousness.
Fin and Carisi ran down the stairs after Johnny D. "Liv stay there we got this!" Fin shouted back.
Olivia turned her attention to the dying cop. She pulled her radio out again. "I need paramedics in the back east stairwell now!" She noticed all the blood coming from her side. She didn't hear Johnny D come back up the stairs behind her before he hit her on the back of the head with his gun.
Olivia gasped in pain, her vision became blurry and she fell to the floor, still conscious, she could see Johnny D running past her out the door.
Carisi and Fin raced back up the stairs. Carisi ran past them and after Johnny D.
"Liv! Are you okay?" Fin asked, kneeling next to her.
She nodded, getting back up with Fin's help. "He took me off guard, I'm fine." They could hear the paramedics coming down the stairs. "Finally." Olivia said. "Did you find the other officer?"
"He's dead." Fin said. The paramedics came down behind them and started treating the fallen cop.
Carisi came back in the door, out of breath. "He gave me the slip, he's gone."
"Shit." Fin said under his breath.
"We need to find him." Olivia said as her phone started to ring. "Benson."
"Did you guys get Johnny D?" Amanda asked her.
"No he gave us the slip, how's Nick?" Olivia asked her.
"They have him in surgery, he took one to his liver and the other to his knee. It's bad." Amanda sounded worried.
"We'll be down soon, hang in there." Olivia said, ending the call.
"How is he?" Fin asked.
Olivia shook her head. "It's bad, I need to call Lucy."
She dialed the babysitter's phone, hoping she gets to her in time.
"Hey Liv, is very thing okay?" Lucy asked.
"Lucy I need you to stay in the apartment, lock the door. I'm coming to get you guys." Olivia told her.
"Why, what happened?" She asked her.
"I'll explain later, I'm coming right now." Olivia said hanging up. "I'm going to get Noah and Lucy, I'll meet you guys at the hospital."
"I'll come with you." Fin said as they raced out of the courthouse.
