Welcome to chapter 14! Like I said, we'll resolve the Sinclair/Barba thing pretty soon, and then the fallout hits the fan…including a very heated argument between Olivia and Tucker. Well, more of Olivia yelling at Tucker more than anything.

Then our favorite couple heads home for some semblance of normalcy.

And before I forget, there's a spoiler for Wonderland Story in the next chapter if you haven't seen that episode and don't know about what happened, I just want to warn you all just in case.

Enjoy!

The next day was normal, and then ten o'clock rolled around. Olivia and Nick sat in their car outside the hotel with the spying equipment and Cragen and everyone else was in the fully equipped van a few blocks away.

Rafael walked up to the room and took a deep breath before he raised his hand and rapped sharply. Sinclair, clothed in nothing but a loosely tied bathrobe, opened the door and beamed at Rafael.

"I'm…not sure I'm comfortable with this…" Rafael admitted, and Sinclair beamed.

"Don't you worry about a thing, Rafael," he opened a bottle of wine and poured him a glass, handing it to him. Then he lifted his own glass for a toast.

Rafael kept sipping at the wine as Sinclair started giving him a gentle shoulder massage. "No, stop," Rafael said thickly, trying to clear his suddenly fuzzy brain.

"It's okay, I won't hurt you,"

"I don't want…stop!" Barba weakly tried to fight him off, and Sinclair pinned him down forcefully. He began taking his clothes off, and Olivia immediately radioed for the cavalry to move in.

Tucker's voice came crackling over the radio and ordered them to stay put. Olivia sat there in fury before opening the car door and running to the hotel. Nick didn't hesitate and ran after her to back her up.

Cragen overrode Tucker's orders and issued his own: GO.

Olivia used the master key they had gotten from the hotel when they went in and bugged the room ahead of time when she finally reached the room. She slammed the door open and went in with her gun up, yelling, "NYPD!"

Sinclair froze on top of Rafael, and Nick immediately grabbed onto him, yanking him off the bed and slapping cuffs on him. Together he and Fin yanked him out of the room, reading his rights while he was screaming about how he was a judge and that they couldn't do this to him and that he'd end their careers for arresting him.

Olivia quickly put her own jacket over Rafael's shoulders, as his own clothes would be needed as evidence to put Sinclair in jail, and he was still wearing his boxers. She gave her car keys to Amanda, who ran downstairs and got the bag of extra clothes that she'd grabbed of Rafael's before they came.

Rafael and Olivia went next door so he could change, and by that time the EMS arrived to check Rafael over. No matter how many times he protested Olivia was having none of it. The medics decided to take him to the hospital to get him hooked up to an IV in order to safely flush the drugs that Sinclair had slipped him out of his system.

Olivia rode with him to the hospital, and she gripped his hand tightly. "Are you sure you're okay?" She asked worriedly, and he tried to smile at her but the drugs were still in effect.

"Y-yeah I-I'm f-fine," he slurred, and soon they reached the hospital. Rafael's blood was drawn to run a bunch of tests, and then he was placed in a room and hooked up to an IV.

Olivia stayed with him in his room although he was sound asleep, and then the Lieutenant Tucker made the great mistake of showing his face.

"Mr. Barba," Tucker began as a greeting when he walked in, unaware that the man was sleeping.

"How dare you show your face here." Olivia seethed as she stood up, and Tucker warned,

"Watch yourself, Detective,"

"You nearly let an ADA get raped, and for what? To prove your case? You had plenty of evidence; it didn't have to go that far." Olivia got in his face, and Tucker said defensively,

"I wasn't going to…"

"Bull. That's a load of bull and you know it. Cragen had to override your orders to get in there in the nick of time; just before Sinclair did anything to him! If you'd waited just a minute more, it would've been too late," Olivia shot back.

"I had planned on Barba's ability to fight back, Detective," Tucker said icily, and Olivia glared at him.

"Barba was drugged, we all knew it when he gave him that glass of wine. You knew it, I knew it. And you still let the op continue to that point? You're despicable."

"Detective Benson!" Tucker thundered, and Olivia just pointed to the door, fury dancing in her eyes.

"Get the hell out of this room. Now!"

Tucker glared at her for a long moment and then stalked out, throwing over his shoulder, "This isn't over, Detective."

"Yes, actually it is. Out."

Tucker strode away, and Olivia shut the hospital door behind him and blew out an angry breath.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side," Rafael said wryly from the bed, and Olivia was immediately at his side.

"I'm sorry, I didn't meant to wake you up."

"No you're good," He smiled, sitting up.

"Tucker deserved that, and more. Let's stick him in a room with a psychopath like that and leave him there for a while, see how he likes it," Olivia muttered, perching on the edge of his bed.

Rafael just smiled tiredly and Olivia reached out to squeeze his hand. "I'll let you sleep," she added, moving to leave and he tightened his grip.

"No, please. Stay with me," he implored, and she smiled.

"Alright. Don't have to twist my arm," he smiled back drowsily and she found herself stroking his un-gelled hair as he drifted off.

Nick popped in a little while later to see how Rafael was doing, and informed Olivia on the recent happenings in the precinct. "Tucker went to Cragen, pissed about something you said to him." Nick said, and Olivia sighed.

"Too bad. It needed to be said, and I will not apologize,"

"No, I get that," Nick said quickly, and added with a wry smile, "But so did Cragen," Olivia raised her eyebrows and Nick continued, saying, "Cragen told him that he wouldn't let you apologize and that Tucker better count his blessings because he would've said a whole lot worse. Then he kicked him out of his office."

Olivia's jaw dropped, and she breathed, "Wow."

"Yeah. Good for him." Nick added, and Olivia nodded slowly.

"I'll make sure Barba gets home safe, Nick, you go home and see Zara," she told her partner, and he nodded.

"This isn't your fault, you know that right?" Nick said, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah, I know," she replied, and Nick squeezed her shoulder before walking out.

Rafael slept for a few more hours, and then the doctor allowed him to be discharged. When they got outside, Rafael slipped his arm around her shoulders and he sighed, "Let's go home," he pressed his lips to the side of her head as she wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Sounds perfect to me," she breathed, and they hailed a cab.

"Are you absolutely sure you're okay?" Olivia questioned once they got inside the condo, and Rafael sighed.

"Yes. Do you want to know why?" He asked, putting his arms loosely around her waist. When she raised her eyebrows, he smiled. "Because I always knew you'd be my knight in shining armor," Olivia rolled her eyes and mock-punched him in the chest, moving to walk away but he held tightly onto her so she couldn't. "I'm serious! I knew you were there, watching out for me, and that's why I'm okay. I wasn't worried at all, not even after he took my clothes off. I kept thinking, she's coming, I know she's on her way, she'll be here in no time, and then you were." Rafael said with a half-smile, and she nodded slowly.

"Okay. But you know you can talk to me about anything, ever, okay?"

"I'm well aware, Liv, I promise," he assured her, and then she softly kissed him.

"Alright. Bed time."

"You'll get no argument from me," he said gratefully, and they tumbled into bed, giving way to their exhaustion. As Olivia fell asleep she swore she'd never let him do such a thing ever again. Nothing, no amount of bad guys put into prison is worth an innocent victim (bait in this case) getting raped. As these thoughts ran through her head, Olivia tightened her grip on Rafael's hands and he faintly smiled in his sleep, knowing he was safe.

Yay for the end! I hope you lovely readers weren't too disappointed/angry at what transpired in this chapter, but I tried to not torture Rafael too much, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. So with the next chapter we jump right into Wonderland Story! And before you can ask, yes, I stick to that one pretty much as it was aired, (SPOILER ALERT if you haven't seen Wonderland Story), with Munch and everything. But of course Cassidy is replaced with Rafael :)

However I did add a little interlude between Munch and Olivia. It's adorable, I promise!

Anyway, thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed this latest update! The next one is coming soon, I promise!
