Alex walked into her apartment and quickly locked her door and put up
the chain on her door. She put down her brief case and turned on several
lights in her house and her television. She systematically shut all the
curtains and blinds in her apartment. She picked up her phone and called
the guard who manned the front door the complex.
"Hi Jacob, This is Miss Cabot in 803. Don't let anyone in the building for me unless you call first and you let me talk to them down there. I'm not expecting anyone." With that she hung up her phone.
Alex walked into her bedroom and put on a pair of sweat pants and tank top. She then walked back into the kitchen to make a snack before her night of infomercials began. She grabbed a bag of chips and salsa then walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.
Hours had passed, and for the first time in 3 days, Alex Cabot was asleep on her couch, with the empty bag of chips and container of salsa on her coffee table and the television still on. Suddenly, there was a pounding on her door, and Alex woke up so startled, that she slid off her couch. She slowly stood up and stared at her door. She picked up her phone and dialed 9-1 and held her thumb over the one as she opened her door leaving the chain. She silently cursed the complex for not putting peepholes on the doors. She looked out the crack in her door and saw no one. She let out her breath as she shut her door. Just as she was about to lock it again, her door was kicked it and broken off of it's chain. Alex was flung to the floor and dropped the phone. Panic stricken, she quickly tried to get to her feet and grab the phone, but the intruder grabbed on to her legs and she again fell to the floor. Alex screamed for her life in hopes that someone would hear her. She continued to try and pull her way to the phone as the intruder tried to stop her. Alex did get her hand on the phone and quickly pressed one, as she did, the intruder pushed the phone away from her. The intruder grabbed Alex by her throat as she screamed again. He picked her up and slammed her against the wall.
"PLEASE STOP!!" She screamed. The intruder, who had a black ski mask on, chuckled lightly, as he ripped her shirt down the middle. Alex then pushed him as hard as she could to get away from him. She ran towards her front door in hopes of escaping him but again he grabbed onto the back of her shirt pulling it off her. He grabbed on to one of her arms as the shirt came off. As he pulled her back towards him she grabbed onto a vase of flowers and slammed it into his head. The intruder fell to floor, as Alex ran out the door of her apartment. She ran to one of her neighbors and pounded on the door.
"Kanisha!" she screamed, "Please wake up!! KANISHA!!" Just then the door opened and Alex covered her self and ran in.
"Girl what's wrong?" Kanisha asked her, "Where is your shirt?"+
"…Gotta call the police." Alex panted as she picked up her phone and dialed 9-1-1.
"What happened?"
"I was attacked in my apartment." Said Alex as she started to cry. Kanisha ran into her bedroom and came out with a sweatshirt for Alex to wear.
Five Minutes later, Alex heard the police in the hallway so she opened her neighbors door and looked out. She walked back over to apartment to see at least 8 cops in her apartment.
"Are you Alex Cabot?" one of the officers asked.
"Yes." She replied as she stood in the doorway, "Where is he?"
"There was no one here when we got here." He replied. She walked into her bedroom and a small suitcase out of her closet. She ran into the bathroom in her bedroom and grabbed her all of her bathroom necessities and threw them into her suitcase.
"Alex!" she heard someone yell, she immediately knew the voice.
"John?" she said as she walked out of her bedroom.
"What happened?" John asked as she wrapped her arms around him and buried her head in his chest and started crying again.
"He kicked my door in and tried to rape me." She cried
"Who's he?" John asked as he stroked her hair.
"I don't know." She sobbed, "Probably the same guy who threw the brick through my window and send me several "love" letters and black tulips."
"Alex, why didn't you tell someone?"
"I was afraid." Sobbed Alex.
"Of what?" asked John.
"Publicity."
"And you weren't afraid this?"
"No, I just…"
"Hey, it's alright. We'll go down to the station, you can give us a statement and you come stay at my place tonight if you want. We're also going to need that brick and your letters." Said John, "We should get you check out at the hospital too."
It was around 7am when Alex and John walked into his apartment. Alex dropped her suitcase next to the couch and sat down in the center of the couch. John walked up to her and handed her a cup of coffee.
"Thanks." Said Alex
"So this is why you haven't been sleeping?"
"Yea."
"I wish you would have come to me." Said John, "We could have got him before all this."
"I'm sorry." She said as she started to cry.
"Hey, don't cry." Said John as he sat down next to her and put and arm around her shoulders, "We'll get this guy."
"How? We don't have anything." Asked Alex.
"I don't know." Said John, "But I think you should get some sleep."
"I don't think I've ever been this scared in my life, John." Said Alex, she looked at him for a moment, "Hold me?" John wrapped his arms around her as she laid her head on his chest. She held on to John for her life and John stroked her hair as he held on to her waist. Not before too long, both were asleep in each other's warm embrace.
Fin walked into the station the next morning. As soon as he walked in Cragen called him into his office.
"What's up?" Fin asked as he walked into Cragen's office.
"Alex Cabot was attacked in her apartment last night." Said Cragen.
"Shit. Is she alright?"
"Yea, right now, she's staying a Munch's place. He's going to be in late today, since he was here with her." Said Cragen, "So I want you to go down to forensics and see what they found at her apartment. Stabler and Benson went back to her apartment complex to see what the doorman saw."
"Alright." Said Fin as he walked out of the office.
A couple hours later, John was tying his necktie when Alex walked out of John's bedroom.
"How did I get in there?" Alex asked.
"You needed to sleep some where other than the couch."
"Where did you sleep?"
"The couch." Smirked John, "I think you should stay here today. No work."
"I have to get things from my office." Said Alex.
"I'll come by around 3pm and pick you up." Said John.
"Ok." Agreed Alex. John walked towards her and handed her a phone.
"If you need anything, call me, and…"
"Don't open the door for anyone." Alex had finished his sentence. John smiled as he looked at her.
"If I were you, I'd spend the day sleeping. You need to catch up." Smiled John before he turned to leave. Alex walked up to him.
"John?"
"Yeah?" he said as he turned around. When he turned around, Alex got up on her toes and kissed him sweetly.
"Thank you for being so kind to me." Smiled Alex. John smiled back at her as he watched her blush.
"Thank you for letting me." With that John put on his hat and left and Alex locked the door and bolted to the door. She walked around the apartment. She looked at the books on his book self. He had several books, law and police work, which didn't surprise her. But what did surprise here were the number of classic novels and plays on his shelf. She pulled one off the shelf and began flipping through the pages with almost a childish smile on her face. Alex yawned and put the book back on the shelf. She walked back into the bedroom and crawled back into bed.
Munch walked into the station and noticed most everyone was out of the office. He walked up to Cragen's office and knocked on the office door as he walked in.
"Munch, you're in a lot sooner than I expected you to be."
"Well, I wanna find this guy soon, so that Alex can get her life back." Said Munch, "She's been too scared to sleep for days."
"I read the report." Sighed Cragen, "I can't believe that she let this slide."
"She said she was afraid of the press getting a hold of it."
"Anyhow, Fin went down to forensics to get the results of the tests done on the fibers we found. I believe now he's met up with Stabler and Benson to her Apartment to talk to the door man."
"Are we getting in incident room to check the video?"
"Yea, the upper room." Said Cragen.
"I'll call Fin, and see what the results were. Also, I told Alex I would pick her up around 3pm to take her to her office to get some things." Said Munch.
"Is she still staying at your place?
"Yep." John replied with a smirk.
"Hi Jacob, This is Miss Cabot in 803. Don't let anyone in the building for me unless you call first and you let me talk to them down there. I'm not expecting anyone." With that she hung up her phone.
