Chapter 2

"Rollins, my office." Captain Cragen instructed, the next day. Rollins stood and followed him into his office. She closed the door and stood just inside.
"What's your deal with the girl?" Cragen asked her.
"Nothing. She's just a kid. It's horrible what happened to her and I want to help her."
"Amanda, I know there's something there."
"There's not Captain."
"Amanda." He sad warningly.
"Leave it!" She snapped. She turned on her heel, flung open the door and ran, ran as far and as fast as she could, until she couldn't run anymore. She stopped and tried to catch her breath. She was on a roof, on the roof of the building that she had fled to in her youth, when scared or upset. She felt her phone vibrate and let it go to voicemail. She leant against the wall behind her and slid down to the ground, her head in her hands, tears streaming down her face.

Soon it was night and she knew she had to get some sleep. She wasn't ready to go back to the precinct, so she decided to go to her apartment. Once there, she locked herself in and decided to have a shower. She got out and dried herself off. She got changed into her favourite pyjamas and curled up on the lounge. Someone knocked on the front door but she ignored it. They knocked again and she continued to ignore it.
"Amanda, I know you're in there." Olivia's voice came through the door.
"Go away!" Shouted Rollins.
"I'm not going anywhere." Olivia said. Amanda fell off the lounge and opened the door. She turned and walked back to the lounge, curling up in a ball again. Olivia crouched next to her and stroked her hair. Amanda flinched and Olivia pulled her hand away.
"What happened to you Amanda?" Olivia asked softly.
"Nothing."
"Do you want me to sit with you?" Olivia asked. Amanda nodded. Olivia sat on the lounge and Amanda sat up. Olivia held Amanda as she cried.

Amanda woke for a start, and was surprised to see Olivia in her kitchen, making breakfast. She stood and walked to the breakfast bar, and sat on a stool. Olivia turned and smiled.
"How are you?" She asked.
"I'm fine." Amanda said.
"OK. You coming in to work?" Amanda nodded, "Oh by the way, we had a break in the Jane Doe and Lacey Gerome case. The M.E. found a hair that didn't belong to Lacey. She ran it and got a hit. A guy by the name of Luke Gerard," Amanda looked up quickly, "He was a security - "
"Did you say Luke Gerard?" Amanda cut Olivia off.
"Yes."
"Shit." Amanda stood and sat back on the lounge.
"Amanda?" Olivia questioned the blonde detective. She walked back to the lounge as well. Rollins was sitting with her head in her hands.
"I used to know Luke. He was my best mate in high school. We lost touch when I went into the academy." Amanda said.
"You need to tell the Captain."
"I will," Amanda nodded, "Can we eat?" Olivia nodded, and served up the eggs and bacon she had cooked. Then, they went into work together.

Rollins sat at her desk staring at the stack of paperwork in front of her. She didn't want to talk to Captain Cragen about Luke, but knew she had to. She stood and knocked on his door. He called to tell her to enter. She opened the door and closed it behind her.
"Hey," He said, "How are you?"
"I'm good. Sorry for running out on you yesterday."
"It's OK. Olivia called and told me you were safe last night. Did she tell you about the break in the Lacey case?"
"She did actually. I wanted to talk to you about that." She said.
"Sit down Amanda." She did.
"I used to be friends with Luke Gerard. We went to high school together and lost touch when I joined the academy."
"So you were close?"
"Yeah. Best mates."
"OK, you're off the case Amanda. I'm sorry. You can work the Simmone Jefferson case. You said that it was her boyfriend?"
"Yep, and rape kit backs it up. I really think he did it Captain."
"Pick him up. Take Fin with you," Amanda stood, "And Amanda, tell me if there's anything going on. I want to help you." Amanda nodded. She left with Fin.

"Jeremy. I know you raped that girl." Fin stood over the boy. Rollins watched from behind the glass. She couldn't find a way to be in the same room as this kid.
"She would say that." He hissed.
"Why would she say that? We both know it's true."
"Fuck her." Jeremy spat out. Rollins turned the sound down. She went back into the squad room, sat at her desk and closed her eyes.
"Manda!" A voice shouted at her. She looked up and saw Luke Gerard in handcuffs. Her heart started racing and she stood and ran from the room. She ended up in the locker room. She punched and kicked the lockers. She opened hers and pulled everything in it onto the ground. Fin entered the room and grabbed her.
"Amanda." He said softly.
"Let me go!" She shouted.
"No, Amanda, calm down." He said, again softly.
"He raped me. He raped me." She sobbed. She finally gave in and he held her as she cried.

This story is going really well. :) I love it already. I've decided there will only be one more chapter, because I think I should keep my stories short to begin with, and then hopefully work on longer ones. :)
