Chapter 37

Olivia was currently typing on the computer, trying to find leads for one of their latest cases. She was having a hard time concentrating because of the nagging feeling she had in her stomach. She wasn't really sure what it was about so she took a swig of her coffee and made herself focus on the screen in front of her.

**SVU**

It was a call that Captain Cragen was not expecting. One of their own had been shot and when he received the information on who it was he had to sit in his chair to keep from fainting from the news. He would never admit it to anyone but he saw the young detective has his granddaughter. He ended the call and took several deep breaths. He knew he was going to have to be the one to break the news to the woman who he saw as a daughter. He couldn't believe this was happening to his "family"; they had already been through so much. He braced himself and got out of his chair to tell the news he just received.

"Olivia," he said quietly as he came up to her desk. He really didn't want to be the one to tell her.

The brunette detective looked up to the sound of her name. The facial expression the Captain wore was one filled with emotion and she knew immediately that something was wrong.

"What happened? Is it, Amanda?" she questioned, although she already could tell by his expression that something had happened to her baby.

"Fin called me from the hospital, he was shaken up but he's okay," Captain started but was interrupted by Olivia.

"Cap, just tell me about Amanda, what happened to my daughter," she said trying not to make a scene but was not thinking clearly at all. Her baby was hurt, again, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Fin didn't go into much detail, just that Amanda had jumped in front of him when he had his back turned and someone fired at them," he stated. "Fin said he managed to get his gun out before the guy could shoot at him, and the shooter is now in police custody. "He said that most of the bullets were caught by the vest but she was in surgery now," he continued, trying to calm the younger woman down.

"I've got to get to the hospital," Liv stated before rushing out of the squad room, Nick on her heels, having overheard the conversation.

Liv didn't protest Nick driving them to the hospital, knowing full well they would probably end up in an accident if she drove.

"She's going to be ok, Liv" Nick stated, not really sure what else to say. "She's a tough woman, just like you," he tried to reassure. Liv just gave a small nod and asked him to drive faster.

When they arrived at the hospital, Liv was close to tears, just thinking about the different outcomes that could be facing her daughter. She was not ready to lose her daughter. Amanda was just starting to become comfortable around her. She got out of the car and raced inside to find any information she could on her daughter.

She made it to the OR's waiting room and found Fin sitting, looking at blood that was now drying on his hands. "Fin, how is she? Do you know anything?" she asked as soon as she caught his eye. There was something in Fin's eyes that she had never seen before; guilt. He looked like he was much older than he was and seemed to be moving in slow motion.

"I'm sorry, Olivia, they haven't told me anything other than one of the bullets nicked her arm and the other went into her shoulder," he said trying to find strength he really didn't have. "They took her into surgery before I even got here with the backup squad," he stated once again sitting down and looking at the blood that covered his hands. Olivia noticed this and was about to ask him how and why Amanda was shot. She was interrupted by a doctor coming out and asking for the family of Amanda Rollins.
