Chapter 7

I do not own Law & Order: SVU, it of course belongs to Dick Wolf. This was just something I thought of while listening to the song never by Jaheim, which inspired me to make this. Hope you like it and please keep up with the reviews, follows and favorites.

It all happened so fast, the door opened and then she was on the floor. The rest, breaking the lock, the sun, the street. It was all a blurr.

Olivia sighed tiredly, her eyes barely open as she grabbed another file taking a second to glance around the squad room at the others who were doing the same thing. Everyone except Amanda who had fallen asleep at her desk and Fin who had snuck out some time ago, not that she was watching him or anything like that. With another light sigh she went to open the new file when the sound of the squad door slamming open jarred everyone in the room. "Guys!" Fin yelled as he sped in.

"Where the hell is the fire?" Amanda groaned from her new spot on the floor. "Right here." Fin said slamming a blown up photo on a nearby desk and looking proud as everyone crowded to look. It was a picture of a girl twelve maybe thirteen running across the road through traffic. It took Olivia's sleep deprived brain a second to recognize the girl but soon her eyes went wide and she quickly ran to her desk, frantically searching through for something before coming back. "It's Amanda Hart." She said softly as she set the picture of the teen next to the one Fin had brought in. The whole team then lit up with the same recognition as her. "This photo was taken by a traffic cam twenty minutes ago. " Fin told them.

"Then what are we waiting for." Olivia said, suddenly awake as she grabbed her coat and keys and headed towards the door Fin on her heels.

It took Fin a little over fifteen minutes to get to the street that the camera was on, the whole time fighting not to think about cute and downright sexy Olivia's determined was face was. He shook his head lightly as he got out. She was nothing more than a co-worker now and that's how it should stay. "Remember rule number two." He said quietly to himself as he followed Olivia across the street. They searched every abandoned building and showed the girls picture to everyone they saw and after more than half an hour of this they were about ready to give up as they sat in front of a small convenience store.

"She has got to be around here somewhere." Olivia huffed as she took a seat on a nearby bench, she noticed Fin kept his distance was to busy thinking to care. She was just about to suggest another look when Fin was knocked into by a someone. The girls blue eyes stood out amongst her dirty and matted blonde hair. "Officer stop her, thief." The store owner suddenly cried out jolting the girl back to reality as she took off running as fast as she could. Fin quickly went after, Olivia closely on their tail. "Amanda wait!" She hollered as the girl tried unsuccessfully to climb a fence, her bare feet and full hands probably didn't help.

"Amanda we're here to help." She said a lot more softer as Fin stood behind watching them. Olivia noticed the now smashed loaf of bread, and hands full of candy bars on her hand felt bad for the young teen whose eyes were that of a frightened animal. "Oh sweetie it's okay." She spoke when the girl literally began to shake with fear. Fin was in awe at the caring nature his partner displayed as she coaxed the girl into her arms with total ease. The way she seemed to completely relax at Olivia's touch had him unknowingly smiling at the touching scene. "Come on, let's get you to a hospital." She said softly, handing Fin the stolen goods as she guided the girl to the car.

Mercy Hospital

Fin stood outside the examination room that Amanda was in with Olivia when a rushed clicking sound drew his attention. "Is she here? Is she okay?" the woman in her mid thirties asked Fin franticly. "Ma'ma who are you talking about?" He asked confusion clear as he tried to help the panicking woman. "Amanda, my daughter." She replied just as the door to the room opened and Olivia stepped out. "Ms. Hart, detective Benson." She introduced as the girl's mother calming at the site of another woman.

"Where's Amanda? Can I see her?" She asked, her gaze focused past Olivia at the room that she assumed her daughter was in. "Your daughter suffered from malnutrition and dehydration but she will be fine." She said answering the first question."She needs some rest but yes you can see her." she continued turning to lead the way into the darkened room.

"Amanda, looks who's here." Olivia said softly as she carefully stepped into the room. "Mommy?" the young teen asked sitting up a little despite the IV's that held her. "Amanda?" The woman returned before throwing her arms around her child, careful of the medical equipment around them. The two shared an emotional moment that Olivia didn't want to intrude on so she quietly excused herself from the room.

"Everything okay?" Fin asked, "Yeah." Olivia said. And for a moment it seemed that was all she would say until she spoke again. "That poor girl." She said, her voice soft and fragile just for a second before her eyes lit up with another fire. "Let's nail this bastard to the wall hard." She said, just loud enough for him to hear before walking off.
