CHAPTER 4: My Angel
"Hey Felicia," Olivia smiled as she walked over to Felicia's hospital bed.
Felicia had awakened the following day and Benson, Stabler and Amy had gone to the hospital to talk to Felicia about the attack. But only Benson went in, Elliot and Amy watched from outside.
Felicia looked over frightened, "Who…are you?"
"I'm Detective Olivia Benson," Olivia showed Felicia her badge, "I'd like to talk to you about what happened the other night. Do you remember?"
"No!" Felicia turned away.
Olivia sat down in a chair beside her, "Well, do you think you can try to remember?"
"I don't know who you are! You're not my angel!" Felicia burst out.
Elliot opened the door and walked in and shook his head, "Liv, maybe we should wait…"
Olivia ignored him and thought about what Felicia just said, "Who's your angel?"
"My guardian angel! She woke me up! She saved me! I'll only talk to her!" Felicia's voice cracked.
Elliot walked over to his partner, "Olivia, she's under stress, maybe we should try later?"
"What's she talking about?" Olivia looked at Elliot.
"I don't know. Little kids are sensitive," Elliot spoke but Olivia interrupted him.
"I know that Elliot!" Olivia flashed him a glace of irritation.
"Sweetie, who woke you up?" Elliot asked softy.
"My guardian angel! I TOLD you already!" Felicia cried.
"What did she look like?" Olivia asked.
"Um…Pretty. She had long blonde hair. She was…um…kind of short. Shorter than you…and younger than you guys too…" Felicia tried to mumbled out, "Um, she was wearing a pony tail…I remember feeling her heal me, and then I woke up. She was the first thing I saw. She was right beside you guys and you didn't see her! But…she didn't come with me on the ambulance…"
Olivia and Elliot exchanged glances and starred out into the hallway at Amy waiting behind the hospital room window.

"How come you didn't come with me on the ambulance?" Felicia asked Amy.
Olivia and Elliot waited outside watching Amy communicate with Felicia. Felicia believed that Amy was her guardian angel.
"Well, I guess Amy in a way DID wake Felicia. She did touch her. Maybe that's what Felicia meant by she felt someone healing her?" Olivia stared at Amy in the hospital room.
Elliot leaned against the room window, "Well, maybe its good Felicia thinks that. Now she trusts someone. Maybe Amy can get it out of her."
"I knew you were strong enough to go alone," Amy smiled.
"But I was scared…" Felicia frowned.
"But you are ok now?" Amy said.
Felicia smiled, "Thanks to you…Thanks. I never thought I'd meet my guardian angel…"
Amy turned around and shot her mentors a glance of worry.
Olivia nodded to Amy and Amy turned back around, "What happened that night? How did you get hurt?"
"I…I was looking for him…" Felicia told Amy.
"Who?" Amy asked.
"Daddy," Felicia looked away, "He had been gone ALL day! He PROMISED he'd watch a movie with me! He ALWAYS breaks his promise's…."
"Did you find him?" Amy asked with interest.
Felicia groaned, "I…um…can't really remember,"
"What do you remember?" Amy looked Felicia in the eye.
"My daddy had some friends with him. I saw him at the school and that janitor man…he came out…they started fighting…I can't remember about what…I don't remember much after that…" Felicia looked away in denial.
"OK," Amy whispered, "That's great! I'll make sure the bad guys won't hurt you again."
"Will you watch over me forever?" Felicia asked with hope.
Amy didn't know how to reply, "I…I promise I'll do my best…I have to go now. I'll be back soon!"
"Don't leave me!" Felicia screamed.
"You'll be OK," Amy said as she stood up.
Felicia calmed down, "I guess I'll sleep then...while I wait for you…" she closed her eyes in exhaustion.
Amy walked outside to Benson and Stabler.
"You need to talk to that father," Amy glared at the thought of what could have happened that night.
"Yep, we herd everything," Elliot pulled out the car keys.
"John and Munch can go talk to the janitor," Olivia added.
"How do I tell her I'm not her angel?" Amy questioned.
"You don't. Not yet. She trusts you, we can use that," Elliot said.
"You did awesome work Amy!" Olivia patted Amy on her back and smiled, "Lets go get her fathers file!"
