These next several chapters will take place over Turmoil and Perverted. If you have not seen them the I suggest you try to watch them they are some really good episodes. Anyways Happy Reading!

"It is 3 o'clock in the morning. Why am I just hearing about this now?" Alex was furious that her detective had missed something so big.

"Extenuating circumstances. Elliot's son is missing." Cragen explain. But frankly Alex didn't care. Things were starting to spiral out of control and she needed control.

"You have just shown me a photo that is going to make the jury believe that our rape victim is a liar. What are you going to do about that?"

"Question Nikki about it." Olivia sounded exhausted. All Alex wanted to do was take her home and wish this whole mess away. But she was still mad and knew that Nikki's case was going to take a back seat to Dickie missing.

"Don't bother. I will do the interview myself." Alex was hoping that maybe she could straighten this whole thing out before she had to turn the photo over to the defense.

"It's up to you. State bar's not breathing down my neck." Elliot said. That really pissed Alex off. Alex knew that Elliot would take stabs at Olivia but he had never thrown a punch below her belt and she was now ready for a fight.

"Because you missed the photo. I don't suppose you forgot Nikki's recant statement as well." She snapped back.

"… No Councilor not a chance." Elliot seemed calm which only pissed Alex off more.

"We are being watched anything you do against protocol stacks the deck."

"You don't get it. I don't care."

"You know my head's not the only one on the chopping block." Alex was hoping to get him to realize that if they didn't handle this properly that he could take down not only himself but Olivia too. And Olivia and Alex without a job now that would be a problem.

"Did you call me down her to help me find my son or not?" A woman with brown hair was being escorted by Fin into an interview room.

"We just have a few questions." Fin explained.

"Who is that?" Alex was now fuming at the fact that the detectives were working another case.

"Shane Newsome's mother, both he and my son are missing." Elliot explained and that only angered her more.

"Detective Stabler does not belong in that interview." Alex was done talking to Elliot now she was speaking to Cragen.

"Well I wasn't going to Councilor, I know procedure." Elliot responded.

"Well If you did she wouldn't even be here." Alex snapped back at him as he handed the file to Olivia and went to observe the interview.

"Stabler is screwing up my rape case and now I can not talk to Nikki Sherman until the morning." Alex told the Captain.

"Cut him so slack Alex."

"Personal investigations involving family members are completely against procedure. You know it I know it and so will 1PP."

"Alex go back home to Meghan, like you said you can't talk to Nikki until morning. Get some sleep." She desperately wanted to give the Captain a piece of her mind but knew that she really did need to be getting back home and since it was obvious that Olivia wasn't coming with her she wanted to make sure Meghan was alright.

When she arrived back at the apartment, she found Meghan still asleep, though not a peacefully as she would have liked. Meghan was thrashing around and when she whimpered Alex decided that it would be a good time to wake her up.

She gently shook her, "Meghan."

Meghan eyes flew open and she was trying franticly to understand where she was.

"Meghan. Ma princesse. Il est bien c'était juste un rêve. (Meghan. My princess. It's ok it was just a dream." Hearing Alex and feeling the gentle circles on her back cause Meghan to relax.

"Il me faisait mal... (He was hurting me.)" Meghan started to explain what had just happened in her head trying to make sense of it all. She was quiet for a few minutes while Alex once again changed into her pajamas and got back into bed with Meghan. "Alors quand ils me mettent dans l'ambulance ce n'était pas l'ambulance, mais ma voiture de parents. (Then when they put me in the ambulance it wasn't the ambulance but my parents car.)" Once again Meghan paused. Alex didn't know if she was done and didn't know what to say so she just pulled Meghan close and hoped that her physical presence was enough to comfort her neice. "La voiture brûlait et je n'étais pas.(The car was burning and I wasn't.)… Pourquoi n'a pas fait je meurs juste avec eux. (Why didn't I just die with them.)"

Alex was stunned by the last question that had come out of her niece's mouth and she didn't know how to respond to it. She wanted to ask which parents were in the car with her but felt the question was irrelevant at the moment.

So she said the first thing that came to her mind. "Meghan. Ma princesse. Il est bien. Vous êtes bien. Nous allons le faire mieux. Je promets. (Meghan. My princess. It's ok. You're ok. We are going to make this better. I promise.)" She didn't know how but she was going to make it better.

Meghan didn't know how this could ever get better but something in her believed Alex and so she was able to get back to sleep.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter and please review. Stay tuned tomorrow night I will post again. Thanks!
