One month later
Amanda had finally been allowed to return to work. Much to the blonde's disappointment, however, she was restricted to desk duty. The doctor strictly said it would be at least one week more until she would even consider allowing the young detective to return to the field in full capacity.
The mother and daughter pair did not become close overnight. Their relationship had practically remained the same on the surface, save for a shared meal one every week.
No one in the squad room knows that they are mother and daughter. They don't plan on telling them for a while.
One week later
Aniyah was walking back home from school when a van pulled up next to her. As she started walking faster away from the van. But before she could, someone grabbed her and pulled her into the van.
"Well hello baby girl." Her father Deandre Davis said
"What the hell." Aniyah said
"Language. Baby girl, I don't want to punish you for your language." Deandre said
"What do you want?" Aniyah asked
"I want to spend time with my baby girl, who is your crazy mother." Deandre said
"You are crazy, not her jackass." Aniyah said
"I said watch your language." Deandre said as he smacked Aniyah's face.
"You do know that my mom will find me, right?" Aniyah said
"Your mother doesn't care about you and if she did she would not be lying to you." Deandre said
"Lying to me about what?" Aniyah asked
"About your life and everything else." Deandre said
"No you are lying because you are jealous that she has a better life than you and that i love her more." Aniyah said
Deandre ends up punching her a few times before Aniyah grabs something and knocks him out.
Aniyah is not planning on telling her about what just happened. She just kept walking as nothing happened.
Amanda Rollins household
When Aniyah walked into the apartment she was glad no one was home. So she went to her room and locked her bedroom door before she went to take a shower.
The 16th precinct
"Have we found anything new about our gang rapist?" Amanda asked as she walked into the squad room.
They have been tracking serial rapists that are in one gang in manhattan. Three victims have turned up so far. The rapist seemed to favor attacking weekday nights. The rapists always come from behind and attack the victim so can't fight back or even identify them. The most that they have gathered so far was that the rapists are teenage and white. The victims have similar traits in that they're all black and black-eyed and all were 15-16 years old.
"Yeah, we found out that they are having a party later tonight. But it is only for teenages." Fin said
"Okay, so now is time to set a honey trap for these guys." Kat said
"Yeah, but there is no other office that looks like a teenage and the is balck that have brown eyes." Kat said as she saw Aniyah walk into the squad room.
"Sweetheart, what are you doing here?" Amanda said
"I got bored." Aniyah said as she looked at her mom's laptop.
"Are you guys finally going to catch these guys?" Aniyah asked
"Yeah, but we need someone that fits the bill for their victims." Amanda asked
"Oh, I could do it." Aniyah asked
"There is no way I would let you do that." Amanda said
"Why? Because how are you going to find anyone else that will do this?" Aniyah asked
"Yeah I agree with Aniyah, Mandy. But I also agree with your mom Aniyah." Fin said
"I know that but I will be fine. Mom, I can handle myself and with this we can get them off the street so they can't hurt any more teenagers my age anymore." Aniyah said
"FIne, but I have to talk to Olivia. Come with me." Amanda said as she walked over to Olivia's office while her daughter followed her.
Amanda knocked on Olivia's office door and waited to be called in. The elder woman acknowledged her and Aniyah's presence as they walked through the door and shut it behind them.
"What can I do for you?" Olivia asked with a small smile as her daughter and granddaughter entered the room
"So we have any idea on how to catch them." Amanda said
"And what is that?" Olivia asked
"A honey trap." Amanda said
"I'm not sure, we don't have anyone that matches their victim type." Olivia said
"Aniyah could do it. She matches his type almost to a tee." Amanda said
"Are you sure you want your daughter to do it?" Olivia said
"Yeah, and she will be fine. We will be just outside if something bad happens. And she really wants to do this so she can protect the girl that looks like her from them. I tried talking her out of it but is didi not work." Amanda said
"Okay, but the moment I or your mom see anything out of place, or go wrong, we pull the plug. Do I make myself clear?" Olivia asked Aniyah
"Yep." Aniyah said
"Great." Olivia said as Amanda and Aniyah walked out of the office.
Later that night
Aniyah was inside sitting at one of the tables. She had a camera and microphone hidden in her necklaces as well as an earpiece to communicate with her mother's team. Kat was her back up on the inside as she stood around but also kept her in her line of sight at all times. Olivia, Amanda, and Fin sat in a surveillance van parked down the street. The team had even borrowed some plain-clothed officers to watch the front and alleyway.
"Aniyah, how are you holding up?" Amanda asked her daughter through the earpiece.
"I'm fine," Aniyah whispered as a group of boys walked up to her.
"Nyah, is that you?" One of the boys asked
Aniyah turned around and saw her group of friends.
"Wow, I thought you could not make it tonight." Rowan asked
"Change of plan." Aniyah asked
"Good because we need you, the snakes are here and they are asking for you." Wyatt said as he grabbed Aniyah's hand.
"Let me go Wyatt. I will be there in a little bit but right now I would like to enjoy my alone time right now." Aniyah said
"Okay." Zane said as the group of boys walked away.
A few minutes later Aniyah was approached by white two teenagers.
"My word," One of the teenage boys said as he came to lean on the table next to Aniyah
"It is Aniyah, the leader of the Black Wolves. What are you doing yourself sitting here all alone. Petty one." he flashed her a bright smile
"Where is your boyfriend?" The other boy asked
"Oh, I don't have a boyfriend… bro." Aniyah said
"Oh we are so sorry. I'm Ace Johnson and this is my brother Cash johnson. We are from the snakes." Ace said
"So I don't suppose you'd be interested in sharing a drink with us Aniyah. What would you like to drink?" Cash asked
"Water please." Aniyah said
Back in Van, everyone was surprised to learn that Aniayh was the leader of the black wolves.
A few minutes passed, and Amanda and Olivia heard a slight change in Aniyah's voice
"How?" Aniyah whisper, she sounded confused
"Aniyah?" Amanda almost shouted into the speaker
"What's wrong?" Amanda asked
Amanda didn't hear a direct answer to her question.
"I need to go to the restroom. I will be right back." Aniyah said as she walked away.
Aniyah knew something was wrong after only a few sips into her water. Her head felt dizzy and the room began to spin.
As she walked toward the bathroom she ran into Rowan and Zane.
"What's wrong?" Zane asked
"Nothing." Aniyah said as she looked behind her as saw Cash and Ace right behind her.
"Hey go hide in the bathroom, we will stop him." Rowan said
Aniyah did not say anything; she just walked toward the bathroom and locked the door.
"Baby girl, where are you?" Amanda asked
"In the bathroom." Aniyah said
A few minutes later
Amanda and Olivia walked into the bathroom.
"Aniyah." Amanda said as she rushed over to her daughter that was flat on the floor.
Olivia called for a bus.
"We got them." Fin said over the radio.
"Great, but Aniyah is unconscious. Amanda and I are talking her to the hospital.." Olivia said
"Okay." Fin said
The hospital
As soon as the bus arrived Amanda and Olivia jumped in the back with Aniyah and Amanda held Aniyah's hand the whole drive. When they finally arrived at the hospital, Amanda and Olivia stayed by the stretcher until stopped by the nurse who told them to wait in the lobby.
30 minutes later
Carisi is watching Jesse and Billie and Lucy are watching Noah.
A doctor walked into the waiting room.
"Family of Aniyah Rollins?" a doctor's voice questioned
Amanda and Olivia turned and walked to the doctor.
"I'm her mother," Amanda said easily
"How is she?"Amanda asked
"Your daughter is in stable condition" the doctor began
"She appears to have some sort of resistance to the drugs that were used on her so she is starting to become aware of her surroundings as we speak. She needs her rest." she explained
"Thank you doctor," Amanda said
"Can we see her now?" Olivia asked.
"Yes, but only family. She's had a rough night and needs to take it easy" the doctor finished before excusing herself to attend to other matters.
Amanda and Olivia walked down the hall toward Aniyah's room.
They slowly peeked her head in and entered. Aniyah was awake lying in her bed, her face was turned away looking out at the closed window
"Aniyah?" Amanda whispered not wanting to startle her daughter.
Aniyah turned her head at the sound of the voice and smiled when she saw her mother and grandmother at the entryway
"Mama," Aniyah said quietly,
"Hey honey" Amanda started as she sat next to her daughter's bed and grabbed her hand.
"Are you mad at me?" Aniyah asked
"Mad at you for what honey?" Amanda asked
"Being a gang." Aniyah said
"No baby girl, I'm not mad at you for that." Amanda said
"Did we catch them?" Aniyah asked in a whisper.
"Yes sweetheart we did catch them." Olivia said
"Great." Aniyah said
"Sweetheart, I think you should get some rest." Olivia said
"Are you both still going to be here when I wake up?" Aniyah said
"We'll be right here the whole time." Amanda said as she stroked her daughter's hair and leaned in to kiss her on her head.
Aniyah just smiled and closed her eyes.
Amanda and Olivia just looked at Aniyah while she slept. They were just happy that she was okay and safe.
