Chapter 4

"This is it." Sara said as the car pulled to a stop outside her building. "Thanks for the ride."

"I'll wake you up." John said unbuckling his seat belt and opening his door. "Be right back Fin."

"Yeah sure." Fin muttered as he watched Munch open the door for Sara.

Sara smiled at him as she pulled her keys from her purse. John kept looking at Sara; it was hard for him to believe how she still looked so young after all these years. Of course she is ten years younger then he; John always forgot their age difference because of her maturity and his sometimes lack there of. Sara was almost as tall as John; she had long dark hair and eyes of the same coloring. She wasn't your typical beauty but she had something that was all her own. "You really didn't have to walk me up."

"It's no big deal." John replied as they stopped at her door.

"Well thanks." She smiled, putting the key into the lock. "We really need to get together sometime." Sara said suddenly, leaning against the door and letting her key ring hang from the lock.

"Do you maybe want to grab some dinner or something this weekend?"

"I'd like that." She grinned, turning the key and pushing her door open.

"Here's my card." He handed to her. With that they said goodbye and Sara closed her door.

Munch waited for the elevator door to open, he had left Fin waiting in the car. However when the elevator doors opened Fin was standing there, waiting for him. "Hey, I thought you were going to wait in the car?"

"Just got a call from Olivia, Evan Kline knows that one of his neighbors saw him, he also managed to get a lawyer who got him out of questioning. We gotta warn Sara."

"Come on, we can take the stairs." John said, quickly making his way to the door that led to the staircase.

They rushed to the third floor and to Sara's door. They knocked loudly on the door, when there was no response fear began to sink in. They knocked again, still nothing. Finally the door was kicked opened.

The two detectives rushed inside to find Sara on the living room floor trying to catch her breath. "Where'd he go?" Fin asked.

She could only cough but managed to point in the direction Evan went. Fin ran through the hall and the open door leading to her bedroom. There he found an open window and that the fire escape had been pulled down.

Evan was gone and it would take some effort to find him again. Fin returned to the living room, John had helped Sara to the couch and they were now waiting for the ambulance that John had insisted on.

"I don't need to go to the hospital John." Sara rasped, she hadn't really noticed how she was nursing her wrist, which had bruises forming that matched ones around her neck.

"Just humor me please."

"Fine." She sighed.

"Was it Evan?" Fin asked sitting down in one of the chairs opposite the couch.

"Yeah, he was waiting for me… sorry just got a little dizzy."

"It's okay, just lay back for a little bit." John said pulling out his phone and calling the station to let Benson and Stabler know what had happened and to let them know what hospital to meet them at.
