"Captain its worse than we thought." Fin said the second Cragen answered the phone.
"How do you mean?"
"Capt. She has bats at every conceivable spot in her house and a few I wasn't even sure you could put a bat in. I have found knives hidden throughout the apartment when I cleared it for her and I'm pretty sure there is a gun or two here as well. I just didn't feel right opening her drawers in the bedroom to verify that thought."
"What else?"
"She moved into an apartment building that has security scanners to enter the elevator unless the door operator does it for you. Her door is extremely solid; I'm willing to bet hard wood and metal, with eight different forms of locks on it. The second I entered the apartment with her she went into a flashback. I offered to wait outside the door for her in the elevator because I could see she was becoming more and more nervous the closer she got to her floor. She kept saying that I had to leave she couldn't be responsible for another officer's death."
"Why does she think that?"
"Apparently Jessica told her that if she ever brought anyone back here she would kill them and make her pay. I want this bitch Captain and I want her today."
"You're not alone there Fin."
"What's the plan?"
"Elliot is staying here with Olivia just in case anything happens. I have Munch researching Jessica Johnson and see what all we can find on her. Morales is pulling the street camera's with a hope that we can get a decent shot of who shot Olivia and maybe a clue of what happened. If we don't have any clear shots with the cameras then we are in the dark until Olivia wakes up. As for you, you are to remain with Alex until either Munch or myself relieves you."
"Yes sir." Fin said as he snapped the phone shut and fixed him a cup of coffee hearing Alex come toward the kitchen.
"Did you find everything you need detective?" Alex asked with a forced smile on her face as she entered the kitchen.
"I did thank you" Fin said trying to keep his shock at bay at seeing her in a pair of jeans and t-shirt. "Can I fix you a cup?"
"Please. I like mine with creamer." She said moving to take a seat at her table.
Fin quickly fixed her coffee and brought it to her. As quickly as he could without startling the blonde he moved back to the island and leaned against it.
"Detective you are more than welcomed to have a seat. I don't bite unless asked and if you sit in this chair you will have a perfect view of the door."
Fin choked on his coffee hearing Alex say she doesn't bite unless asked. In the short time he has spent with the ball busting attorney he was learning things that blew every preconceived notion he had of her from the water. The only conformation of something that they already knew was she had plenty of money and the fact she was willing to use it all on Olivia and her re-cooperation bumped her up on their scales.
"Alex I don't want to scare you. I can stay right here or I can move anywhere else you would like me to move to."
"Please sit." Alex said motioning to the chair "Besides you offered me an explanation about why you believe Olivia would kill you if you let anything happen to me."
Fin slowly approached not wanting to terrify the blonde more than what she already was. He slowly took a sit while watching her face for any signs of discomfort. He could only imagine the ball busting he would get from Olivia if she ever found out she moved to fast and scared Alex.
"Alex truth is Olivia likes you and cares for you a lot. Probably a lot more than what she would ever admit to us or herself for that matter. When it comes to people she cares about she will stop at nothing to protect them. At the moment she's not able to do that but we are. If we fail at that the ass chewing and beating we would receive would be something to be written in the history books. I can promise you that."
"She is protective that is for sure." Alex said with the first genuine smile on her face since she entered the apartment.
She allowed her mind to wander to a case where a man had charged off the witness stand at her. She stood in the spot frozen and terrified as she tried her best to keep her composure intact. Before she even could register what was happening Olivia had jumped the railing that separated the lawyer's tables from the spectators, as they often called them, and closed line the man. Before the bailiff could even make his way to her she had flipped the man over and wrenched her cuffs onto the man's wrist. She seemed to take great pleasure in hearing the man scream as she did so.
"I want to know something though." Fin said pulling her from her thoughts.
"What is that?" Alex said as she stood to top off her coffee silently asking him if he would like some more as well.
He nodded yes as he moved his cup to her to allow her to fill it and re take her seat before continuing.
"Why did you feel safe enough on letting Olivia know your situation and not the rest of us? Alex we don't judge. Never have and never will."
"Actually I didn't tell her." Alex said remorsefully as she looked away "She accidently found out on her own and I begged her not to tell anyone."
"That explains it then." Fin answered willing to leave it at that "So are there any errands or anything of the nature you need to do today?"
Alex turned and stared at Fin for a minute shocked at his response but then quickly remember how they were. If you told them something and asked for it to never be repeated then it wouldn't be, even under threats of death. If anything was ever said between them it was always taken at face value never any questions asked. If they were, they were done silently and never voiced out loud.
"Alex our job is all about discretion. When it comes to the five of us, we are firm believes in never repeating what is told to us in confidence if we can avoid it all costs."
"I know I guess I'm still getting used to it." Alex said as she stood and started to walk into the living room "Come on let's get this day over with."
"You're the boss.' Fin said smiling as he quickly followed Alex out of the apartment
