Chapter 36
Three months had passed since the whole gambling fiasco and Amanda was doing remarkably well. She continued to go to meetings whenever she was feeling stressed and actually found them to be very helpful. She was also incredibly grateful for the older woman who was now such a big part of her life. Olivia had gone above and beyond being there for her and she was finally starting to believe that the brunette was going to stay around for the long haul. Of course they had had some ups and downs over the last few months but Olivia had proven herself to be understanding, patient, and caring, everything that Amanda had always wished for in a mom.
Amanda had also grown very close to Fin and the Captain. The Captain still challenged her thinking and would let her know if she was out of line on anything but was very understanding with her and constantly asked how things were going. Fin had become her go to guy when she was having trouble and didn't want to talk to Liv about things. He treated her like a little sister but was respectful of her privacy and the relationship she was forming with Liv. He often joked with both women about how even though they looked nothing alike he could tell they were related, stating they were both stubborn and determined. Both women knew he was right and didn't take any offense to it. Amanda actually loved being compared to the older woman who she had really come to admire not only has a detective but as a strong woman.

"Fin, you got a copy?" Amanda asked into the mic. They had just entered a house that supposedly had a meth lab in it with children hanging around. The latest rape victim had led them to this property stating that her boyfriend lived their with his family. She mentioned being there during the rape and that their was lots of smells that reminded her of drugs.
"Yea, Manda, it looks like the back is clean" Fin relayed into the radio.
"Okay, well you should come into the kitchen, there is some shady stuff going on" she said as she looked around at the pots boiling and the many different bags of drugs. She also saw children's toys laying throughout the living room. Just what were these children being exposed to?
"Manda? Wow this is ridiculous" Fin stated coming into the kitchen. "Did you see any kids or anyone" he asked after looking around.
"No, just saw the toys. What are these kids seeing here, Fin?" she asked putting her weapon back into her holster. She was thinking back to one of her many foster homes and seeing something similar before being removed from the agency. She was brought out of her thoughts by a pot whistling. She looked up to see a guy holding a gun at Fin and her partner looking the other way at some of the toys on the floor. Before she could even think she yelled Fin's name and dove in front of him just as a shot rang out.
