Noah

Noah was scared, confused, and exhausted. Somewhat around five hours earlier that day, he went with Grandma Shela's friend, Juan, to Sheila's house to wait for her. She was buying him a gift from the store and then the two of them would be going to a cabin in the woods to watch the deer play! And even better, mommy was going to join them. But after about an hour at Grandma Sheila's house, Juan got a call from her, saying she was going to be later than planned and for them to wait at the cabin for her. At first Noah went along with it. Juan was a cool guy and Noah didn't mind waiting on Grandma Sheila with him, but after a couple of hours, he knew something was wrong.

"Where is Grandma Sheila? And where is mommy?" he shrieked and Juan grabbed him roughly by the shoulders.

"I said they are late!" the man exclaimed, now changing Noah's opinion of him and turning into a bad guy instead of a cool guy. Noah began to cry while Juan paced back and forth. "I can't take your crying anymore," Juan said through clenched teeth and locked Noah in a closet. Noah banged and kicked the door, screaming and crying. "If you don't shut up you will be sorry!" Juan barked from outside the closet and Noah immediately quieted down.

"Can I- can I atleast have my elephant, Eddie?" he pleaded, sniffling and shaking out of fright. It was silent for a moment but then the door opened and he was handed his beloved stuffed animal. Noah rocked back and forth while clutching Eddie close to him, the plush elephant providing him slight comfort.

Nearly five hours later and Noah had been able to come out of the closet to eat and use the bathroom. When Juan turned his back for one second Noah tried to sneak Juan's cell phone off of the counter to call 911, but he wasn't fast enough. Juan had kicked Noah away, sending him sprawling across the hardwood floor. Noah began to sob, and even though Juan knew no one would be able to hear him, for there were no other cabins around, he still begged Noah to be quiet.

"I want your grandma Sheila here too! I didn't know I was going to be stuck with you, you little brat!" he yelled but Noah's cries got louder and louder. Juan stuffed Noah in the closet again, and kicked the door shut. Noah buried his head into Eddie's soft fur and cried. Why hadn't grandma Sheila come to the cabin? Where was mommy? Didn't she want to spend time with him? Wasn't she excited to watch the deer play outside in the snow, while they stayed warm indoors while drinking hot cocoa and snuggling on the couch in their matching pajamas? Noah began to sing some of the songs him and mommy sang together and laid down on the closet floor; it was barely big enough to do so. He whispered a prayer before going to sleep.

"Dear God, please keep me safe, and please bring mommy and Grandma Sheila to me soon. Amen." Noah stroked Eddie's head while thinking of nice thoughts, such as him and mommy playing in the park and eating ice cream while watching cartoons. They were soothing to think about, and soon he fell asleep in the cramped corners of the closet.

Olivia

It was 9 o'clock that same evening when Olivia woke up and at first she wasn't aware of anything- where she was, what time it was, or even that Noah was missing. She laid there for a moment and then sat up when it all hit her. She was at Rollins' place and her son had been kidnapped.

"Rollins!" Liv exclaimed jumping up from the bed and rushing into the living room. Amanda was on the phone and looked up when when she entered the room.

"Yeah, I'll tell her," she said with a sigh and hung up.

"Have they found him?"

"Liv, I- I'm sorry but there's been no sign of him and Sheila hasn't told anyone where he's at." Olivia fell to her knees and being to weep. Amanda joined her on the floor and wrapped an arm around the Lieutenant. Her heart broke for the distressed mother, as she could only imagine what it would be like if Jessie had been the one missing. Tears stung her eyes both at the thought and for Olivia. "Liv, I'm…" Amanda was startled when Olivia shot up from her position on the floor. Amanda had never seen her this way before. Olivia's hair was a tangled mess, her teeth were bared as she breathed heavily, in-and-out.

"Take me to the precinct, now," Olivia demanded through gritted teeth.

"Liv, I don't think-"

" Take me to the damn precinct!" she yelled, not accepting any bullshit.

"Alright, ok," Amanda muttered and the two left in Amanda's car and arrived at the precinct. Olivia busted through the squadroom.

"Why hasn't she said anything?" she shouted at Fin and Carisi. "Where is Juan?"

"We've talked to her for hours, she just won't give it up and the location of Juan's car was lost track of hours ago. We have police officers searching from where it was last seen," Fin informed her.

"Oh my GOD!" Olivia screamed, nearly ripping her hair out as she grabbed it in disbelief and rage. She thought for a moment and then pointed a finger at the detectives. "If any of you want to keep your job, you're going to let me do what I have to do. Do not get any other cops involved, do not try to find us, do you understand me?" Fin looked to Carisi, who looked at Rollins and then they all three looked at Olivia.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Fin asked timidly.

"I'm going to get her to tell me where my son is at," Olivia whispered, her voice cracking and tears spilling down her face. She had to get ahold of herself if she wanted this to work. She had to control the intensifying rage that was building within her. She took a deep breath and entered the interrogation room where Sheila was at. Sheila turned to look at her and didn't say anything. "Sheila," Olivia started and took a seat across from the fucking bitch. "I wanted to apologize for earlier. I lost it, I know, but I didn't process why you did what you did. But I can now tell you that I understand where you are coming from. He needs you. You are blood, and I'm not." Sheila began to laugh incredulously.

"Are you kidding me? You think I'm going to fall for your bullshit?" Olivia rolled her eyes and went to lower the blinds of the window where the others were peering into. She grabbed her gun and sauntered slowly over to Sheila whose eyes widened with worry, wondering what Olivia was going to do. The Lieutenant held the gun to Sheila's head.

"You are going to come with me, and if you try yelling for help, I will blow your brains out, do you understand me?" she growled into Sheila's ear. Sheila shuddered and nodded her head desperately. She didn't want that, she needed to be there for her grandson, which by the way, she was not going to give up his location. Juan was keeping him safe, they were going to be a happy family once all of this blew over. Olivia stood Sheila up and guided her out of the interrogation room. Amanda looked at Olivia with a concerned look etched upon her face.

"Lieu-" she began but Olivia glared at her.

"What is she planning on doing?" Fin whispered to Carisi who just watched in silence as Olivia and Sheila got on the elevator. Once outside Olivia stuffed Sheila in the back of her car and slammed the door, then climbed in the driver's seat.

"I'm not going to tell you where my grandson is," Sheila told her, her voice shaking.

"We'll just have to see about that, won't we?" Olivia scoffed and drove towards the destination where she was going to get Sheila to confess. She got a couple of texts and read them.

"Don't do anything stupid Liv," Fin wrote. Another was from Carisi.

"I'm saying a prayer you find him, Lieu." Olivia shook her head as a few tears slid down her cheeks. She needed all of the prayers she could get. For Noah's sake and for hers. She didn't want to lose her job for what she was about to, but if she did, it'd be worth it if it meant getting her son back.
