Trevor gets to the street to the daycare center but the police had it blocked off. He was about two blocks from the Twin Towers and about one from the daycare center. He hit the steering wheel and screamed. "Aggghhh! Why? Why me? Why today?" He slammed his head down on the steering wheel, which made the horn blow loudly.
A police officer came up to the driver's side window of Trevor's car. He knocked and Trevor lifted his head and rolled the window down. "You aren't going to get through here right now sir," the officer said looking down the road and then back to Trevor. "Please my son is at the daycare center down the street and my wife is a detective for the NYPD. I just want to know if they're ok. I want to know that my family is all right. Please." Trevor looked at the police officer with sad eyes. "I know that the daycare center was evacuated. As for your wife I am not sure. I know that most of the force was sent to the towers to help evacuate there. I can put a call in and see where they took the kids. Then I can see about your wife's unit. What is your name?" "My name Trevor Lagan, my son is Austin and my wife is Olivia of the Special Victims Unit," Trevor said nervously. The police officer went back to his car and got on the radio.
The kids were taken to Mercy.
Thank you. Can you also check the status of a Detective Olivia Lagan of the Special Victims Unit?
Yeah just a minute…that unit went into the South Tower about a half hour ago.
Thanks. Talk to you later.
The officer hangs up and goes back to Trevor's car. "Your son is at Mercy," the officer said with a smile. "What about my wife? Where is Liv?" Trevor said still sounding nervous. "Her unit went into the South Tower a short time ago. I am sure that she is fine." The officer smiled at Trevor again. "Thank you. Thank you." Trevor smiled back once more and then put his car in reverse. He turned around in a parking lot and drove to Mercy.

"Ready?" Elliot looked at Olivia who was fixated on the front door of the South Tower. She turned her head to look at him and nodded. They walked up to the front and went in. Fin and John followed closely behind. A small group came out the door to the side of them. A group of firefighters went up the stairs in the middle of the lobby and another group of police went to the basement stairs.
The ground shook around them and they all looked to the front door behind them. A cloud of dust filled their gaze and the glass shattered. They all jumped back and Elliot shielded Olivia again. "Holy shit! What the hell just happened?" John looked at the cloud of dust and then to Fin who had the same flabbergasted look on his face.
They went through the lower levels of the building helping all they found out to the lobby. Then when they couldn't find any more people they headed for the lobby themselves. They went outside and walked towards Don and the other police captain who he had been helping.
"Holy shit! The North Tower is gone!" Olivia looked up with a terrified look on her face. They walked over to an open piece of road where the firefighters were beginning to help the wounded. Olivia took her cell out and dialed Trevor's cell.
This line has temporarily been disconnected…"Shit!" Olivia began to cry. "All I want to know is that my family is ok! Is that to much to ask?" Don wrapped his arms around her. "They are fine. Everything will be ok." Don kissed Olivia's forehead.
The officer who had talked to Trevor earlier came towards the group. "Excuse me but is there an Olivia Lagan here?" The man looked around for a reply. "I am Olivia Lagan. What is going on?" Olivia was still in tears. "Your husband was looking for you ma'am..." Olivia smiled at the thought of Trevor being safe. "…He went to Mercy to find your son." The officer smiled back and Olivia shook his hand. "Thank you oh God thank you." She looked back at Don and the other three men. "Go sweetie. We'll be ok. Go." Don smiled at her and waved her off.

Olivia entered the ER at Mercy. All eyes were on the TV.
You saw it here first. The South Tower has collapsed. There is nothing left of the Twin Towers.
Olivia shut her eyes and thought 'I just came out of there. That could have been me in there.' She opened her eyes and looked around. She went over to the nurse's station. "I am looking for the kids from the daycare center in downtown Manhattan." The nurse there smiled and pointed to the group in the back of the ER. "Thank you." Olivia rushed to the group and saw Trevor holding Austin. He looked at her and smiled. She rushed over to them and wrapped her arms around them. She kissed Trevor and then kissed Austin on the head. "Are you ok? Are you both ok?" She said beginning to cry again. "We're fine. Are you ok? What happened?" Trevor put his hand on the back of her head and looked into her eyes. "I'm ok. We went into the South Tower and helped some people get out. Then we got out of there. An officer told me that you had been looking for me and told me where to find you. Don told me to go and that they were going to be ok, but when I got here I saw the South Tower collapse on TV so I don't know." Trevor hugged Olivia. "It will all be ok sweetheart. They will be fine."
