The next day Amanda woke up around 1pm and for a split second everything was okay, but then the memories of last night, her rape, the hospital, and then her body began to ache reminding her that nothing was in fact okay. She rolled off the couch, and held herself as she walked to the bathroom, not wanting to go and pee because she knew it would hurt. As she sat on the toilet with tears in her eyes from the stinging pain that was happening in between her legs she heard her cell phone ring in the other room. "Oh shit.." Amanda said out loud as she grabbed some toilet paper off the roll. "I have to go to work today." She told herself as she flushed the toilet. " At this point Amanda was now looking at herself in her full length mirror that was hanging on the back of her bathroom door. "How..how will I-" she started thinking out loud as she ran her hands down her nude, bruised body. She grabbed her Pj's and put them back on, and ran to her bedroom, she began fumbling through all of her clothes. Amanda sighed as she found what she was looking for, it was a black turtle neck long sleeve shirt. "Surely this will work.." Amanda said as she looked it over, and grabbing a pair of black slacks, and a purple v-neck to wear over the top of her turtle neck. After about 2 hours, she was finally ready for work, still not realizing what time it was she grabbed her cell phone, and keys and headed out the door. Just as she was locking her door, a neighbor came up behind her "Hey there." He said politely. Amanda Jumped, and reached for her gun. "Woah..I'm sorry, Just trying to be neighbourly." The guy said walking away with his hands up. Amanda never pulled her gun, and never said a word, she just walked away. *Cell Phone Ringing*

"Rollins." Amanda said as she started her car.

"Where the hell are you?" Cragen said pissed.

"I'm on my way cap." Amanda said still not realizing what time it actually was.

"Your on your way? How late are you?" Cragen said raising his voice. "You had us all worried, I was about to come up there and personally kick down your door." He added.

"But Cap. I can't be that late.." She said shocked, and then looked at what time it was.

"Just get here, Now." Cragen said hanging up on her. Amanda did as he said and drove there as fast as she could.

Precinct

"About damn time." Olivia said as she saw Amanda walking in, still mad with her about last night.

"Hey, are you okay?" Fin said concerned at the fact she was just now getting there "You ain't been gambling again have you?" Fin added whispering to her as she sat at her desk.

"No...I just..I just over slept." Amanda said trying not to look at Fin, she couldn't stand lying to him. Fin just let out a huff of air, and walked back to his desk.

"He attacked again, last night." Cragen said as he threw a stack of papers on her desk, causing her to flinch a little bit.

"Oh yea, we got a Vic?" Amanda said looking at the files.

"No..but you would've known that if you where here today." Cragen said looking at her sternly.

"I'm sorry Cap." She said looking at him with sadness in her eyes. "So is the Vic deceased?" She added.

"No, we don't have a body or a Vic.. we have a witness who said they saw a guy same MO, the hockey mask, a knife, black clothing...running down the Street, he had a pair of Ladies underwear in his hands, but he dropped them..they were covered in blood, and fluids..all of which are being ran through the system right now..hopefully we'll have a hit." Cragen said trying to catch Amanda up on the current case.

Amanda jumped out of her chair and ran straight to the bathroom, her hand covering her mouth the whole time she ran.

"Well, I guess this makes sense why she was late now." Cragen said as he looked around the room at the Detectives. "Olivia..go check on her..see if she needs to go home." Cragen instructed Olivia, she nodded and walked to the bathroom to check on Amanda.

Olivia knocked on the stall door, "Hey..are you okay?" Olivia asked concerned.

"I'm fine..just something I ate.." Amanda said leaning over the toilet. Amanda knew that her DNA was in the system, and that they all would know who is latest victim was.

"Well Cap, wanted me to see if you need to go home." Olivia quickly added as she turned up her nose at the stench of Amanda's vomit.

"No..I'll be fine..I'll be out in a Minute." Amanda said as she got up and wiped her mouth on the back of her hand. Olivia had her hand over her nose, and mouth as she walked out into the squad room, and gave them an Okay with her free hand.

Amanda walked out of the stall, and to the mirror on the wall, she splashed some cold water on her face as she thought to herself " How do I tell them? What if Melinda already knows?" she took a couple of paper towels and wiped her face and hands off, and went back out to the squad room, she felt like everyone already knew as they stared at her.

"You okay Rollins?" Fin asked as he put a hand on her shoulder.

"Yea..fine." She said as she went back to her desk.

"I'm gonna go check on that DNA result, see if it's in." Amanda said as she got up.

"Okay, that's fine..take Amaro with you." Cragen said pointing to Amaro with his head.

"But Cap. I don't-" Amanda tried to reassure Cragen she didn't need any help, but Cragen quickly interrupted. "No but's..take him with you." He added sternly. Amanda let out a small sigh as Amaro grabbed his coat and began following behind her to the lab.
