Chapter 7 – Part 2

Chapter Text

He knows what he's doing – Lexi said as she sat at the table in the compound, she had returned with Fin and Amanda when she found them where Rasmussen had abandoned the car he took from his workplace and where he had killed another man.

And that – said Fin without understanding where he wanted to go.

That tells us that he is reasoning, he knows that we are going to track down the car he steals so he gets rid of it and finds a new one, he does not leave his weapons, he takes them, that tells us that in the end he will try to kill as many as he can–

And Jeannie– Amanda asked.

From what I see, she may be the only one who is going to listen to, if she sees us, she will be nervous, I'm not sure that is recommended, I'll go with Liv and Amaro– she got up and said goodbye, when she got to the place she entered to the car in the back and I pass them a coffee to each one, both seemed mortified listening to the work of Jeannie Kerns – believe me you hear worse things in intelligence –

She deserves better, she didn't have to be here tonight– Olivia said.

It's difficult when your support system doesn't support you Liv– Lexi said as she placed her hand on her shoulder, at which point Jeannie Kerns received a call.

Lexi comes here like this –Olivia said after hearing how Jeannie warned her.

Don't do anything until you confirm it – Lexi warned, a few seconds passed and a white car approached and a moment later Olivia confirmed that it was him, the three of them got out of the truck and approached the car, Lexi rushed to see the swat truck and that everyone was surrounding the vehicle – don't shoot, you hear me, it's an order, no one shoots until I say so – Lexi took out her gun and approached slowly but before she had the chance she heard the shot and the scream from Kerns, Olivia and Nick approached while she turned to the man who had shot – that was it, is that he did not hear my order –

I'm sorry, Miss. Agent Cantwell told us that if we had the opportunity to shoot– the man said.

Agent Cantwell, you see it somewhere, I am your superior officer here and you disobeyed my order–

He said that no matter what he said we would shoot–

Lexi saw out of the corner of her eye that Olivia was taking Jeannie to the ambulance, she would have time for reprimands later, she went to her car and drove to the hospital, she let Olivia and Amaro talk to her and I wait for them in the hall, not yet She could believe Cantwell's audacity that woman had been able to die, Lexi straightened up when she saw Olivia and Amaro approaching and their faces weren't too promising.

What's going on – she asked when they reached her.

Nick talked to Cantwell, Jeannie won't get a reward for what she did –Olivia said.

You're kidding me –Lexi said in disbelief.

No, I talked to him and that's what he told me– Nick said.

I'll make my inquiries, I'll see you later – Lexi said as she left them behind, she was going to find out what exactly Cantwell had done and if what she thought was true, that man would know who she was.

…

It's too late it's difficult but I make my decisions– Cantwell said.

Yes and you took yours– Lexi had entered and like the first time I heard every word that came out of the mouth of that wretch.

Agent Cabot, it was not necessary for you to come, we are about to finish picking up– Lexi did not say anything she approached him and without waiting, she took him by the lapels of the suit and stamped it with the nearest wall, at that moment everyone was they posted alerts.

It's too late thanks to the fact that he brags about a job he didn't do – Lexi said as she placed her arm under her throat – I really thought I wasn't going to find out, I told her to inform me of all her pazos and she decided to ignore me, she decided to ignore everything they have told you about me, because so that you know with pleasure I will accept the position of SAC if with that I can get you to serve coffee and make photocopies for the rest of your life–

Lexi I think he got the message, let him go – said Captain Cragen as he placed a hand on the arm that held the agent, Lexi doubted but in the end he ended up letting go, saw how Cantwell picked up the coat that had fallen and left the compound without to look behind.

I'm sorry for the scandal – Lexi said after a moment – if I had been more aware of him Jeannie Kerns would have something, even so I was able to get the FBI to cover the expenses of an addiction rehabilitation, she should get off the streets, but this she should do of their own free will–

We'll take care of it, thanks Lexi –said Olivia as she squeezed her hand.

It's the least I can do, I have to go, but I'll call you – said Lexi giving him a smile.

When I'm free can you come talk to me please Lexi –Cragen said before he could leave.

It took Lexi almost two days to talk to Cragen, after doing the paperwork he went to the compound where he found the captain in his office, the others were not there.

I heard that Jeannie Kerns accepted the help they offered her– Lexi said from the door.

Yes, Olivia can be very persuasive – said the captain, inviting her to come in and sit down.

Tell me, after many years of knowing her, you still can't say no to some things–

You helped a lot, without you the FBI would not have agreed to bear the rehabilitation costs – Cragen said as he closed the door.

Apparently there are still people who respect my point of view, that and a few less favors won't hurt anyone – Lexi said with a half smile.

You know Lexi, you are very good at what you do, people turn to you, they take you into account, you have helped us a lot and seeing how you defended Kerns over another agent even though that agent only took advantage of the situation, I It made me realize that you care about people, more than you can show in the work you do– Cragen said.

Because I wanted to talk to me Captain Cragen – Lexi said without knowing where she wanted to go with that.

I want to offer you the opportunity to be here at SVU as a loan officer, that will delay your decision on your position–

He's serious– said Lexi, straightening up in her chair.

Very seriously, I'll take care of talking to your father myself, Munch will also talk to him, I know that a decision of these must come from a high command, there are people from the New York police who would like to have you here, it would be around one year–

And I would still answer the FBI, not 1PP –said Lexi.

That would be an advantage, because of your position your actions will not be as easy to judge as those of others, if this is not your place you decide to return, no one will pressure you, you can decide yourself–

You won't have to talk to my father right, he already talked to you – Lexi said upon hearing that comment.

He just wants you to be happy, he thinks being around Olivia will be good for you, what do you say–

That when I start – he said laughing – thank you captain, really – he got up and walked up to him to give him a hug that he returned.

After Christmas is over you will start in order, I will do all the papers and we will sign them to send them to Quantico, I think I will hurry but I will say welcome to the team–

Thanks captain, I won't let you down – Lexi said with a huge smile – please accept me to buy you a drink –

That sounds good, let's get out of here – Cragen said as he took his jacket and walked to the door.
