Prompt: Kat meets Amanda and Nick
Kat's Age: 16
Kat was stared at her phone with a grimace. It has been two days since she has seen her mother. She has been trying to get a hold of her for three hours but her call will go directly to voicemail. The teen had started to get anxious when she looked at the time. It was a few minutes past nine at night.
"Nope. That's it," Kat pushed herself off the armchair, grabbing her phone and house keys that were lying on top of the coffee table. "Time to go to the precinct."
She closed the door behind her as she left the apartment. She said a quick hello to an old lady as she walked down the stairs of the building. Kat shivered when she stepped out of the building. The night was a bit colder, indicating that fall season was approaching. She zipped up her dark blue sweater and quickly walked down the sidewalk. Luckily the subway station wasn't that from where they live.
Kat ignored the looks some guys were giving her when she climbed in the subway train along with other passengers. A while later, she got out of the train and walked up the stairs to leave the station. She quickly walked a block until she saw the 16 precinct come to view. She said 'Hello' to a few officers that were standing outside the building before she went inside. She sighed in relief when the warmness inside the building greeted her.
She dash towards the elevator and pressed the button where the Special Victims Unit was located on. A couple of minutes later, she stepped out of the elevator and walked down the hallway to the squad room. She nodded to the officer that was sitting at the entrance of the room and glanced towards her mother's desk. She frowned when she saw it empty. She was startled when she heard someone closed by her.
"Can I help you?" A man voice's said, concern.
Kat turned to the left and saw a man standing up from his chair by a close by desk. She walked towards her mother's desk but didn't take her eyes off the man. "I'm looking for—"
"Watcha doing over here Kat?"
Both of them turned to look at Fin walking in the squad room with a folder. Walking behind him a blonde woman turned her gaze at the teen with curiosity. Kat smiled at Fin and pointed towards her mother's desk. "I came to see my mom. Haven't seen her in two days."
Fin nodded. He knew that Olivia would sometimes stay in the precinct for a day or two when she was too deep in a case. "She went to catch on her sleep in the cribs. We just finish a big case. Won't take too long for her to wake up."
"Okay," Kat nodded. "I'll just wait for her to wake up." Kat went to sit on the chair next to her mother's desk. She felt eyes on her and glanced to the young male detective that greeted her when she walked in. "Do I have something on my face?"
He slightly jumped but composed himself quickly. He cleared his throat before speaking. "Sorry. I just didn't know that Olivia had a daughter."
Kat let out a chuckle. "Yeah, she does. I'm Kathryn, by the way, but people call me Kat."
He nodded. "I'm Nick Amaro. I just transferred from Narcotics a month ago."
"Oh. Cool." Kat glanced at the blonde woman across from her. "You're new here as well?"
The blonde nodded. "That's right. Name's Amanda Rollins."
Kat nodded and smiled politely at her. "Nice to meet you as well. Are you new to New York? I noticed your accent."
"I'm from Atlanta, Georgia."
"Nice," the dark haired teen grinned. She leaned a bit forward more intrigued than before. "Do you like it here in New York so far?"
"It's different from where I grew up but I have gotten used to it," Amanda smiled. She nodded towards Fin. "Although, I'm still trying to get used to his singing.
The detective turned to look at his partner. "At least I have a better singing voice that Nick."
Kat laughed at how insulted Fin looked. "It's okay, Fin. I like how you sing."
"Thank you. At least someone appreciates my efforts," he threw a glare at his partner before continuing to write on his report. "If you think my singing is bad you should hear Munch and Kat conversations about conspiracies."
"Really?" Nick looked slightly shocked.
"It's true," Kat shrugged. "Munch has told me a lot of them from the moment I started to visit the precinct. I was a little kid when he told me about 'big brother'."
"How small?"
Kat thought for a moment before answering. "I think I was six. People in the precinct thought I would get scared or bored but no. I was very intrigued and every time I visited, he would always have a new one to tell me."
Nick and Amanda shared a look of disbelief.
"She's telling the truth," Fin said. "I used to get headaches all the time thank to those two."
Kat rolled her eyes but let out a laugh.
"Nice shirt by the way," Nick took a sip of the energy drink that was on his desk.
Kat glanced down and noticed that a bit of her Walking Dead shirt was showing from underneath her sweater. "Oh. Thanks. It's one of my favorite shows."
"Mine too," Rollins grinned, looking away from her computer.
"Really?" the teen asked excited. "Who's you favorite character so far?"
"Rick. What about yours?"
"Glenn."
"I hope I'm not interrupting your chatter, ladies," Captain Cragen mockingly said, walking out of his office.
"None at all, Captain," Kat grinned at him. "Just meeting the new two detectives. That's all."
Cragen gave her a knowing look before he cleared his throat. "You're here for your mother, aren't you?"
"Yes, sir," she nodded. "Haven't seen her for two days. I'm going to take her home so she could get proper rest."
"Good," he said. He smiled at her before giving her a red licorice.
"Thank you," Kat took the candy. "Haven't had one of these in a while."
Cragen chuckled. "Don't forget to use your puppy eyes look."
Kat just smirked before taking a bite from the licorice. "Sure thing."
He shook his head before walking back to this office.
"Your puppy eyes?" Nick asked her curiously.
Before she could answer, Fin looked at Nick and said, "You'll see when Liv wakes up."
"But we are done with the case. All we need is the paper work," Amanda frowned confused.
"Yeah, but she likes to finish that on the same day that we close the case," he shrugged.
"She hasn't rested since we started this case."
"And that's why I'm here for gents," Kat took another bite of the licorice. She turned to look at Nick again. "So you're my mom's new partner or what?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Cool," Kat nodded.
"Well you took it a bit better than your mom," he chuckled lightly. "She was a bit cold towards me at first. I soon realized is because Olivia was still trying to heal from her partner's departure of the Unit."
Kat grimaced. She remembered the night that her mother came home, telling her that Stabler put in his papers. She shook her head and cleared her throat. "They were partners for twelve years. So yeah, she took it hard."
"Kat?"
She jumped slightly and turned to look at her mother, who was standing behind Fin. "Hey, mom."
Olivia walked towards her desk and sat down on her chair. "What are you doing here?"
"You're kidding right?" Kat raised an eyebrow. "I haven't heard or seen you for two days."
The detective let out a sigh. "I have been busy with a case."
"I have been told," Kat glanced towards Fin before turning her attention back to her mother. "But you are done with the case right? You can go home and get some rest."
"I still need to do the paper work," Olivia rubbed her lips, looking down at the papers she had left on the desk.
"Oh," Kat looked down. When she glanced up she had put on a 'puppy eyes' face, ignoring the smirk on Fin's face. "I just really missed you mom."
The brunette detective glanced at her daughter. She noticed the sad look on Kat's face and it broke her heart. "Sweetheart…"
"It's okay," Kat shrugged, still with the gloomy expression on her face. "I'll just go home and see you tomorrow."
Olivia shook her head. "No. Um, the paper work can wait for tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Really," Olivia smiled slightly. She started to put the papers away in one of her drawers.
Kat turned to look at Nick and Amanda. They gave her an awe look. She winked at them as she ate the rest of the licorice. Olivia said goodbye to her coworkers and the captain as her and Kat left the squad room. They stepped inside the elevator when it opened its door and Kat pushed the button to the main floor.
"They seem nice."
"Who?"
"Nick and Amanda. Did you know that Rollins likes the Walking Dead?"
She suddenly felt her mother playfully hit the back of her head as the elevator went down. She turned to look at her mother in surprised.
"That face won't always work with me, Kathryn Benson."
Kat coughed but her eyes were mischievous as she looked at her mother. "I have no idea what you are talking about mom."
"You have been using that 'puppy eyes' face sine you were little. I know it by heart," Olivia gave her a stern look. "You didn't think I noticed the smirk on Fin's face and the look you gave to Amaro and Rollins?"
The teen grinned at her mother. "Still have no idea what you are talking about, mom."
Liv raised an eyebrow before smile broke on her the detective's face, pulling her daughter in a side hug. "You are going to give me grey hairs."
"I thought you already had them," Kat smirked.
The young Benson let out a laugh as her mother let out a growl.
