Chapter 8
Amanda looks down at her watch and sighs. She stretches her arms out and shifts to stretch her back for some relief.
"Your awful restless" Morales teases her. She gives him a dirty look.
"I hate this part" she tells him. He laughs.
"Yeah, I don't take you as a person with patience" he tells her.
"You don't know me" she tells him and he puts his hands up in defense.
"ok ok…I didn't mean" he starts but stops talking when he sees a car pull up to the building they are sitting on. Amanda grabs the camera and starts snapping photos.
"You think this will be enough evidence for your Counselor" Morales asks but doesn't have the never to look in her direction.
"He's not my anything" she snaps back and instantly feels guilty. She's not sure why she said it because she knows its not completely true. If anything he is her friend, her partner even now. She hates that she acts this way when someone finds her soft spots.
"Either way, why does that office have such a problem with putting criminals behind bars" Morales asks.
Amanda sits her camera down and turns towards him. "Carisi was one of us, he is on our side. You better not forget that" she tells him trying to keep her voice down. The last thing they need to do is cause a scene and blow their cover.
Morales doesn't respond just looks back towards the suspect and nods. "Looks like he is getting something from the trunk" he tell her.
Amanda watches the man pull a bag out and was able to capture them open it exposing the money before exchanging with another bag.
"That will get us a warrant" she smiles looking down at shot she just took.
She calls Liv and tells her what they have snapping a photo with her phone and sending it to her. Liv tells her she will get the warrant then send Fin and Kat to his place.
"So we can pick him up?" Morales asks. Amanda shakes her head.
"Not yet, we need to wait on Captain's orders. She wants to secure the warrant first" Amanda tells him.
"But the other guy is going to leave, we could get them both" he tells her. Amanda nods, she too would like to get them all but knows they need to go by protocol on this case.
"We have to get that warrant, that way he can't have someone destroy any evidence" Amanda explains.
After what feels like hours Amanda sees a text come through and smiles. Before she has time to respond she hears the door open.
"Morales what the hell are you doing" she asks as loud and quietly as possible. But he doesn't seem to hear her or worse is ignoring her.
"Morales! That wasn't the go ahead text" she tries again but now he is halfway in the street walking towards the car. She quickly gets out of the car and pulls her gun trying to catch up.
"Morales, stop" she tells him but he just shakes his head "they are both still here, we can get them" he tells her.
"The text wasn't from Captain" she tells him again and he stops and turns towards her "What?" He asks confused. She doesn't have time to respond when she sees that they have caught the two suspect's attention.
"Cops" yells one to the other before they pull their guns and start shooting trying to get back in the car. Amanda grabs Morales pulling him behind a nearby car. She makes her way around the other side of the car and fires off a couple shots before they get in the car. Morales stands up and shoots towards the car. Amanda stands and tries to yell for them to stop but out of nowhere another car comes around the corner and accelerates. She jumps out of the way landing hard on the sidewalk.
"Rollins! You ok?" Morales asks making his way to her. He looks up to make sure they are covered but sees both cars have disappeared. He leans back down towards her. "Rollins, hey Rollins look at me" he tells her as he sees the blood. "Shit! Where are you hit" he asks trying to open her coat.
"I'm fine. I just hit my head on the concrete" she tells him. She tries to stand but falls back towards the ground. "Stop, stay here. I'm going to call for a bus" he tells her. He doesn't hear her protests as he runs back towards the car to grab a first aid kit.
Liv walks towards waiting room and finds Morales sitting fiddling with a magazine she's sure he isn't reading. She notices Fin and Kat walk up, and Kat sits next to him.
"How is she?" Kat asks. Morales looks towards the Captain not sure how to answer as he hasn't moved from his seat since they got there. Liv sighs, she hasn't got the whole story but knows enough to be mad at their newest member.
"She will be fine. She has a concussion but won't need stitches. She should be able to go home soon" Liv tells them. Fin motions for Liv to follow him.
As they get out of earshot, Fin looks at her and raises his eyebrows.
"Capt, what the hell happened out there?" He asks trying to keep his voice down. Liv just shakes her head.
"Honestly, I'm not completely sure but trust me I will find out" she tells him letting out a sigh. She then looks down at her phone were a text just came through.
"We have the warrant" she almost laughs and Fin just shakes his head in disbelief"
"You and Kat go" she tells him
"On it" he tells her
"and Fin…with backup" she adds and he nods in understanding.
Fin starts towards Kat and Morales when he sees him bursting down the hallway. He moves towards him trying to get his attention.
"Where is she? Is she ok?" Carisi asks practically running into the waiting area "and what the hell happened?" He almost yells.
Morales stands up "Counselor, it was a miscommunication" he starts to explain causing Olivia to raise her eyebrows in confusion and make her way towards them.
Carisi stops in his tracks and looks at him confused. "A miscommunication, what the hell does that mean?" He asks taking a step towards him. Morales puts his hand up.
"Hey, calm down she's going to be ok" Morales tells him which only in turn causes him to get more upset.
"Calm down? You better hope she's ok because if she's not…" Carisi is now yelling as he grabs him by his jacket and shoving Morals back towards the wall. Fin quickly steps between them "ok, ok lets not get kicked out of here" Fin tells them.
Olivia walks towards them "Fin's right, that's enough" she tells them in no uncertain terms. Carisi looks at her and nods in understanding before taking a step back and running his hands through his hair.
"Morales maybe you should go back to the station and finish filling out your report. Fin..Kat..we have the warrant so go use it" she instructs them and they just nod and heads towards the elevator.
Once they all walk away Carisi raises his hands up in question "Liv, what happened?" He asks again hoping for a better answer. She just shakes her head. "I'm not entirely sure, he thought they had the warrant and started towards the suspects" she starts.
"Why would he think that" he asks
"I'm not sure" she tells him.
"I knew something like this would happen. He is dangerous" Carisi tells her as he starts pacing.
"Carisi she's going to be ok. I'm sure she could use a ride home after they are done with everything" Liv tells him.
"Ok, yeah I can do that" he tells her as a nurse comes out letting them know she is being released.
"Go Carisi, take your partner home" she tells him giving him an understanding smile. He nods mouthing thank you as he follows the nurse to Amanda's room.
