I had a case of writer's block but reading some stories on here gave me these ideas. Hope you enjoy :)

Nick felt guilty as hell for doing what he was about to do. But he felt like he had no other choice, he opened the file Michelle's captain had handed to him. God, he only hoped he found something useful. He had a feeling that no matter what, he would still be attracted to her. He placed the other files back down the Captain's desk as he read the first one.

"I hope you find what you're looking for." Michelle's voice said from in front of him.

"Mich—"

"Save it. You're obviously not going to get over this." She paused and set down the laptop bag she had in hand in the chair. "But it would save time for me to just tell you."

Nick's guilt didn't decrease, but he set the file down.

"Michelle Holland Ranson. Born March 16th 1977 in Waterford, Ireland. I have 3 brothers and two sisters. My mother is a royal bitch. I have been shot twice so far. I am a recovering addict and my favorite color is green." Michelle shrugged, still slightly annoyed.

"Sounds like an interesting life." Nick said.

"You have no idea."


Amanda entered Olivia's new office slowly. The brunette looked down from the file on Diaz' father she had in hand and gave Amanda a small smile.

"Amanda, how are you doing?" Olivia asked as she stood up.

"I'm fine." Amanda sighed and looked around the office. "Why did you call me?"

"What?" Olivia quizzed.

"Before I was…'kidnapped'. Why did you call me?" This question had been aching at Amanda for days now.

"I um, I needed you opinion on something." Olivia blushed slightly.

"What?"

Olivia stayed silent for a moment. "I was planning on proposing to Alex."


Fin turned off his TV and moved towards the front door, where someone had been knocking. Amanda sat in her same position on the couch. They both kept replaying that kiss. It wasn't going to go away, but they could deal with it later. Amanda kept feeling like she made a mistake. When the kiss had ended, Fin just walked away. She would never understand why. They would eventually have to deal with it, but not now. When he opened the door, a tall and skinny blonde woman stood outside.

Before Fin could ask who it was however, Amanda interjected. "Mom?" The younger blonde said as she moved towards the front door.

"Hello, Amanda darling!" The woman said ecstatically as she embraced Amanda in a hug. Much to Fin's surprise, Amanda accepted the hug. "I haven't seen you in forever!"

What the hell is going on here? Fin thought. But he was glad to see Amanda smile. The two blonde's pulled away from the embrace.


"I can feel your sadness from two planets away, Liv." Alex said watching Olivia absent-mindedly swirl her spoon in a cup of tea.

The brunette let of the spoon and sent her girlfriend a sad smile. "I'm not sad. I'm just thinking about a lot." She walked around the kitchen counter to face Alex.

"I thought when I agreed to go out with you, we promised to be honest with each other?" Alex was desperately trying to make Olivia smile. And not a fake one. If there was one thing Alexandra hated the most, it was seeing the people she loved sad.

"I don't remember such a thing." Olivia smirked as she wrapped her arms around Alex's waist.

"Well I do, and you're breaking that promise." Alex returned the smile, giving her a little praise for being able to have Olivia not as depressed. The older of the two placed her chin on Alex's shoulder, sighing deeply.

"Is it wrong I miss them?" Olivia asked.

The blonde kissed the top of Olivia's head. "Not at all. They were good for us. I just don't think they're going to get the help they need. That's what bothers me most."

"The court date is tomorrow, we can only hope for the best."


The Next Day; Family Court of Judge Cornish

Much to Olivia's surprise, a tall girl with long cascading red hair extremely similar to Diaz's stood alongside a woman with the same color hair but piercing green orbs instead of blue. Olivia was only left to guess this was Parker and the girl's mother. The woman's skin was slightly pale. Olivia could see the resemblance between Parker, Diaz and Mrs. Vazirov. Vega seemed to somehow get her looks from her father. Parker's look was frightened, this only worried Alex. Diaz snuck uneasy glances at her father and mother. Hopefully unnoticed by both adults.

"In the case of placement of Vega and Diaz Vazirov, how does the defense plead?" Judge Cornish asked.

One of the new family court lawyers, Arianna Castle stood up from the table. "We request that both girls be taken out of the custody of ADA Cabot and Detective Benson and placed back in the custody of their parents."

"Her parents are the ones that sold the girls in the first place!" Alex and Olivia's lawyer, Jason Perez argued. "And we have reason to believe that Vega and Diaz may have suffered abuse at the hands of their parents."

"Do you have any medical information or reports to back that plea, Mr. Perez?" Cornish asked.

"No, but—"

"No buts," The judge began. "I hereby grant that Vega Cassandra Vazirov and Diaz Nadia Vazirov be placed back in the custody of their parents." He banged his gravel and Olivia let out a sigh of defeat.


"You're late." A male voice said as he watched the tall redhead walk towards him.

"I know, I know. But I did it." She answered looking around the dark alley they occupied. A rat scattered across the ground carrying something dead in its mouth. This was the last place she wanted to meet him, but it seemed like she had no other choice.

"What exactly?" He asked humorously.

"Do you need me to spell it out for you?" She snapped.

Upon hearing the tone of her voice, he grabbed her wrist. "Listen here; you're the one who owes me. No one is paying you to be here. But we both know what happens if you're not." With that, he let go of her wrist and began walking off in the opposite direction.

Casey watched the shadowy figure walk off as she rubbed her wrist. There was no going back now.


Uh oh...I guess that is somewhat of a cliffhanger? I don't know...review?
