Here is the next chapter.

Enjoy you guys!

Haden leaned a bit forward on his seat and smiled at the teen. "So you are probably curious on what my intentions are towards your mother? Am I correct?"

Kat nodded. "Of course I am."

"I want to see where our relationship," he glanced at Liv, still smiling, "will take us. I want things to work out between us."

"Fair enough." Kat said, her eyes darting between her mother and Haden.

He looked back at Kat. "You mentioned something about a school fight? Were you involved?"

"Is the bruise on my cheek and my split lip are not proof enough that I was?" Kat sarcastically said to him.

Fin smirked and looked over his shoulder. He saw Munch already walking towards him. The older man gave him a ten dollar bill while Fin just smiled smugly at him. "Better luck next time."

Munch was about to say something when he saw Nick and Amanda walk in the squad room with everyone's lunches. "You guys could have come a minute earlier; I wouldn't have lost ten bucks."

"Did you make another bet with Fin?" Amanda rolled her eyes.

Fin turned to look at his partner. "I will explain later. Right now I am starving."

Kat closed her book and put away her notes as Amanda and Nick passed everyone's lunch. Nick was heading towards Cragen's office when the teen told him that she would take Cragen's lunch to him. Nick shrugged and gave her two Styrofoam containers.

"The one on the left is yours and the other is his," Nick explained.

"Thanks." Kat smiled as she walked in Cragen's office.

Cragen glanced up from his paper work and his eyes widen when he saw her face. "Are you—?"

"I'm fine," Kat reassured him, closing the door behind her. She walked to his desk and passed him his food. "The other got a black eye and a big scratch on her face."

"Are you sure that you are alright?" Cragen asked, he nodded to one of the chairs across from him.

Kat sat down and smirked at him. "I already told you that I am, gramps."

Cragen let out a small chuckle. The teen had been calling him that since she was a child. At first it took him by surprised but he quickly got used to it. Not that he would admit it to anyone but he actually liked when she would call him gramps or grandpa than Cragen. It made him feel like he was family.

"How much trouble are you in?" He asked, opening his container.

Kat did the same as she explained. "Detention for the rest of the week and suspended from school for one day."

"You're grounded aren't you?"

"Yup," the teen took a bite of her burrito.

Cragen opened one of his drawers and took out two cans of soda. He passed her one and Kat thanked him. They ate in silence for a bit before Cragen spoke again, "I see that you met Haden. What are your thoughts on him?"

"He's okay…I guess," Kat shrugged. "So you does everyone know that they are dating?"

"They can't keep their eyes off each other whenever they are in the same room."

Kat snorted and took a sip of her soda. "Do you think he is okay?"

Cragen sat there for a minute, trying to formulate what he was going to say next. "I heard good things about him. He is a good man if that is what you are asking."

"That's all I needed to hear. But I will still keep a close eye on him whenever he is around," Kat said. "I know that mom can take care of herself, but if he hurts her in any way I'm going to kick his ass."

"I don't doubt that," Cragen laughed, gesturing to her bruise and split lip.

Kat smiled briefly before it slipped from her face. She shuffled a bit on the chair before glancing back at Cragen. "Have you heard anything from Elliot?"

"Nothing." Cragen sighed heavily, putting down his burrito. "The last time I saw him was when he put his papers in. I'm guessing you haven't heard from him as well."

"No," Kat shook her head. "Mom has stopped calling him a while back. She still doesn't say his name and when someone does…she tenses or sometimes flinches. I called Dickie once but he didn't answer."

"You left a voicemail?"

"Yeah. He never returned my call," Kat sighed. "I assumed that he didn't want me to contact him so I never called again."

"It must have been though. For your mother and you. I know that you and Dickie were really close."

Kat sipped her soda. "We were. It hurt a lot when they didn't call back. But I—we—have to move on. We can't force them to be in our lives if they don't want to."

"Maybe with time they might contact one of you."

"Key word is maybe, gramps."

Cragen smiled slightly. "Changing the subject completely, a little bird told me that you have taken a great interest on a boy."

"Munch told you?" Kat narrowed her eyes at the captain.

"Surprised?"

"I would be lying if I said that I was."

"So who is the young man?" Cragen asked, trying to look strict.

"Mark…" Kat smiled shyly, her cheeks started to blush.

Cragen sat there for a few seconds before laughing out loud. Really loud that it caught the attention of the detectives and Haden eating their lunch in the squad room.

Kat frowned at him. "What's so funny old man?"

It took him a minute to compose himself. "I always had a feeling that somehow you two would end up having affections towards each other. Especially when you got…injured."

"I don't even know if he likes me like that back," Kat frowned. "And he was been a good friend. I would have visited him the hospital if he got shot."

"He visited you more than Dickie ever did."

Kat opened her mouth but closed it, knowing that he was right.

"Does your mother know your feelings towards him?"

"No."

"Are you planning on telling her when you both get together or is there going to be a repeat of how she found out about you and Dickie?" Cragen chuckled.

"That was by accident," grumbled Kat.

The door opened and a grinning Fin walked in the Captain's office, along with Amanda and Nick. Kat narrowed her eyes when she saw the mischievous glint in his eyes. "Isn't it true that you are scared of clowns, Kat?"

The teen flinched at the mention of clowns. She hated fucken clowns. "I can't stand them…"

"I told you," Fin glanced at Nick.

"You are?" Amanda asked, sitting next to her. "Since when?"

"Since I was five," Kat scratched the side of her neck.

Fin chuckled. "Ever since she saw the movie 'It'. I remember this one time that a few of us went out to eat lunch at this diner that was close by the precinct. When we were done eating, we walked out and started to walk towards the cars…"

"Then what happened?" Nick asked amused.

The older detective glanced at Kat and she sighed. "This…clown…approached us and asked if I wanted a goddam balloon."

"Next thing you know she starts punching the poor man," Fin laughed. "It took her mom, Elliot and me to get her off of the clown. One of the funniest things I have ever seen."

"Oh haha," Kat sarcastically said to the detective. "It might have been funny for you but not for me."

"So that means you don't go to the circus?" Nick smirk. "Since there are clowns there."

Kat shuddered at the thought. "Hells no!"

Everyone one in the office laughed.

Kat groaned when she felt someone shaking her lightly from her sleep.

"Go away," Kat shrugs the hand away from her shoulder. She hugs her pillow tighter, moving away from whoever was trying to wake her up. "Sleeping."

Olivia rolled her eyes but her lips curled up in a small smile. She waited for a few more seconds before trying to wake her daughter up again. This time with a different tactic. The detective started to ruffle Kat's hair. "Time to wake up!"

The teen immediately sat up and turned to glare at her mother. Kat's glare intensified when the detective started to chuckle. "Not. Funny."

"I'm sorry," Liv said. Although her voice didn't sound apologetic at all. It reminded Olivia when she would sometimes wake Kat like that when she was younger. And if that didn't help…well tickling would always to the trick.

"Yeah right," grumbled Kat, glancing at the alarm clock by her nightstand. She groaned and flopped back on her pillow. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, "It's too early. Also, I'm suspended for today so I don't have school."

Olivia sat by her daughter's legs that were covered under the bed sheets. "You're coming with me to the precinct. So take anything that will keep you from getting bored over there." She patted Kat's leg before standing up. "You have thirty minutes to get ready."

"Can't I just stay here?"

"Nope," Olivia walked towards the bedroom door. She glanced back one more time before walking out of the room. "Start getting ready."

Kat waited for the door to close to get out of her bed. She went to her closet and grabbed the clothes that she was going to wear today. When she was done changing clothes, Kat fixed her hair the best she could. When she saw how the weather was outside, she grabbed her red beanie and put in on her head.

She looked over her nightstand and grabbed her Ipod. Kat walked to the other side of the bed and clutched her backpack that was thrown on the floor last night when she came in her room. She took almost everything out except for a journal and her pencil. She glanced to the bookcase that was across her bed on the opposite wall.

Kat decided to take two books with her. A mystery book and the last book of Harry Potter, even if she had read all of the books multiple times. She put them inside her backpack and zipped it closed. She grabbed her coat from her bed and walked out of her room, not bothering making the bed.

The teen's spirits lighten up when she smelled coffee coming from the kitchen. Kat made her way to the kitchen and threw her backpack on the counter, much to her mother's liking. The detective passed Kat her favorite mug that was already filled with coffee, along with a plate with two waffles covered in syrup. Kat took a sip and slightly winced when the hot liquid touched her tongue.

"You have everything?" Liv nodded to the backpack, taking a sip of her coffee.

Kat placed her mug on the counter. "Yup." She started to cut the waffles and gestured to them while looking at her mom. "Want some?"

"Just coffee for me."

The detective's phone started to ring in the pocket of her coat. She took it out and checked who it was. Olivia saw Amaro's name flashing in the screen. She answered it as she placed down her mug. "Benson."

Kat continued eating as her mother talked on the phone. She could barely hear Nick's voice through the phone. She glanced up at her mother when she heard the detective sighed heavily before she ended the call. Kat sipped her coffee, observing her mother's expression on her face. "Bad news?"

"I'm afraid you won't be going to the precinct today."

"Crime scene?" Kat asked curiously.

"Yeah."

Kat nodded. "I understand mom."

Olivia walked around the counter to stand next to her daughter. She pulled her in a hug and kissed the side of her head. "I'll see you later. Stay here and don't open the door to anyone except if—"

"—it's either Cragen or Munch," Kat finished for her mother, stepping out of the hug. "I know, mom."

Liv smiled slightly at her. "Don't start making dinner before I come back."

"Okay."

Kat saw her mother leave the apartment. But not before the detective gave her another smile before she closed the door behind her. Kat ate the rest of her breakfast and downed her coffee in silence. When she finished she decided to watch some morning cartoons for a while.

She watched the tv for two hours when she started to get bored. Kat glanced out the window and noticed that the weather looked rather pleasant today. She grabbed her house keys from the coffee table and her backpack from the counter before she got out of the apartment.

Her legs hurt from all the walking Kat did. But she somehow felt relaxed. She missed her friends. It sucked not been able to talk or text them since she still didn't have a phone yet. She and here were supposed to get one today but since she was grounded her mom decided to get her a new phone until the upcoming weekend.

She decided to walk back home and make herself a hot chocolate when she saw a Starbucks two buildings away. She checked in the small pocket of her backpack and sighed in relief when she saw that she had enough money to buy herself some coffee.

She quickly walked to the building and went inside. She silently cursed when she saw how it was somewhat crowded. Kat waited for twenty minutes before she ordered what she wanted. Luckily she didn't have to wait very long for her order to be ready. She didn't feel like going outside yet. The teen instead sat one of the leather chairs that were next to windows. Kat was sitting there for a couple of minutes alone, sipping her coffee when a woman slightly older than her approached her.

"Hey, is this seat taken?" The woman with red hair and blue eyes smiled politely at her, pointing to the chair next to the teen.

Kat smiled back. "Not at all."

The read head grinned. "Thanks."

"I'm Madison by the way," the woman named Madison stook out her hand towards Kat.

The teen shook her hand briefly. "And I'm Kathryn but you may call me Kat."

"Then I will."

Both chuckled before taking sips of their drinks.

Madison curiously stared at the bruises and the slip lip. "Got in a fight or something," She gestured to the bruises.

"Yesterday at school," Kat explained. "This girl started talking shit and then she mentioned something about my mom and well…you can just imagine what happened next. It took my friends, her friends, a campus security and the principal to pull us apart."

"Wow," The young woman tittered. Her blue eyes twinkled in amusement. "You're a feisty one aren't you?"

Kat let out an awkward laugh, "Somebody told me that a few days ago." She took a sip of her coffee before setting it down on the coffee wooden table next to the comfy chair. "What about you? Ever got in a school fight?"

Madison let out a laugh. "Oh I have plenty stories about that."

For the next few hours they both talked about things. Madison did most of the talking while Kat listened intently. She found out that Madison was 23 years old and she had a brother around Kat's age that lived with her. Kat also found out that Madison like to go to raves and parties almost every weekend. Kat mostly talked about her friends and that she has never been to rave.

"You never been to one?" Madison asked surprised.

Kat shook her head. "Nope."

"What if I invite you to one? You may even bring your friends if you want."

"Really? That would be really cool," Kat grinned.

Madison glanced down at her phone and sighed in disappointment. "I hate to be the party popper but I have to go and pick up my brother from school."

"Oh shit," Kat glanced out the window. "I have to get home in case my mom calls."

"Don't you have a cell phone?"

"I did but it broke and probably won't get a new one until this weekend."

"Well in that case," Madison took out a pen and reached for Kat's empty coffee cup. She started to scribble on the cup as she talked to the teen. "Why don't you text me or call me when you get a new phone."

"Seriously?" Kat smiled.

"I was serious about taking you to a rave," Madison grinned, setting the coffee cup down. "I have a feeling that we are going to be good friends."

"Me too, Madison. Me too."

So Kat has met finally met Madison. Will be seeing her in the upcoming chapters.

Next chapter will be up on Friday and more Kat and Olivia. ( I promise!)
