There comes a time
Chapter 2
By: Kary G.
A/N: First of all thank you all for your reviews; the day I posted chapter 1 was the day that I started it and finished it. It took me 45 to an hour and believe it or not sometimes my English is not good and that is because my first language is Spanish but I am trying so hard to learn day by day a new word. Second. I know this chapter is too short but college especially the final exams are driving crazy.
The moon shone up in the dark sky throwing some light through the windows of the New York Police Department. Olivia Benson tried to concentrate in the paperwork that was in her desk. But, the only thing that she could think of was Tyra. "Did she forget to call me?" that question popped up in her mind. She kept staring at the telephone not noticing her partner.
Elliot stood up from his desk and took his jacket. He began to walk away from his desk but when he said "See you tomorrow Liv," and Olivia did not replied with a "Ok," or "Bye," his partner stopped and went to her desk.
Olivia was so lost in her own world. Tyra's worry voice, yelling for help echoed in Olivia's head, little did she know that the teenage girl that she tried to help was dead not so far from the Police Department. "Olivia, help me!" she heard the same three words over and over again.
"Liv, Are you ok?" Elliot's question brought her back to reality. She blinked and looked at Elliot and then around the room. To her surprise nobody was there only her and her partner.
"Yes, it's just…." She was going to tell Elliot that she was worried about Tyra but at the last minute decided not to say a thing. "It's just that I am tired," she smiled to her partner hoping he was going to stop the questions.
"You know, I'm a pretty good listener," Olivia looked away. She wanted to tell him that she needed help, that she was sexually assaulted and felt empty inside but most important she needed him. Her eyes filled with tears but manage held them back wishing for something to happen so he couldn't see her like that. And it did! The phone rang.
Elliot took the call, he listened for a few seconds and by the look in his eyes, it was not a good thing. "Thank you, Fin" he hung up the phone and looked at Olivia.
Olivia stood up and walked to her partner until she was face to face with him. "Elliot, what's wrong?"
"That was Fin, Tyra…Tyra was found death in an alley not to far from here," Olivia was speechless trying to understand the words that her partner was telling her until it hit her. Her face became pale, her breathing became faster and her legs were threatening to stop supporting all her weight. Elliot helped her to a chair and somehow Fin's words came to mind. "Take your time, feel your feet on the ground, breathe,"
"Liv, breathe," Elliot suggested to his partner worry that she was going to faint.
"Yes, I'm fine, let's…let's go,"
"Whoa, you are not going anywhere, you'll stay here until you feel better," Elliot ordered to his partner. The sound of Elliot's voice reminded her of Capt. Cragen.
"The hell I will," she stood up, sometimes she could be so stubborn. Elliot didn't like the idea but knew that Olivia was not going to stay and so he helped her to his car,afraid that she was going to loose her balance.
**Crime Scene**
Olivia did not wait for Elliot to stop the car, she almost jump and hurried to where the body laid covered with a blanket.
"Liv, I am so sorry…" Fin commented looking at his friend. She didn't pay attention, maybe Elliot was wrong, maybe Tyra was at her friend's house and she was going to call her anytime but when she removed the blanket…there was no doubt that the person laying there was Tyra.
"Did you find something?" Olivia questioned Fin. He shook his head NO. "In that case I hope the bastard runs, because if I find him…he's not going to live to confessed his side of the story," and with that she turn around and walked away. The only thing that Fin did at that point was looking at the female detective walked away from the crime scene.
