Chapter 8
Declan hears knocking on the door. Amanda gets up from the couch and she answers the door. Olivia and Fin have arrived at Amanda's apartment. They come inside and they see Declan, Christina, Tony and baby Jesse on the couch.
"What are you doing here?" Tony asks.
"We need to talk to you, Mr. Rollins." Fin replies.
Tony is wondering what Fin and Olivia need to talk to him about. He is worried that he's not going to like what he is about to hear. He doesn't know what to think or say.
"Can we have a minute with your husband, Mrs. Rollins?" Olivia asks.
"Yeah. I'll take Jesse and play with her in the bedroom." Christina says.
Christina leaves the room and she takes baby Jesse with her. Olivia and Fin sit down on the couch. They comfort Amanda before she tells her father that Patton approached her.
"Mr. Rollins, Amanda has to tell you something." Declan says.
Amanda doesn't want to tell her father that Patton approached her. She's afraid that he's going to try to kill himself again.
"It's okay, Amanda. Just tell your father what happened with Patton when he was told to return to Atlanta." Fin says.
"Patton approached me. I was getting out of a cab and he saw me. He noticed my engagement ring. He told me for someone who's marrying a lieutenant that stopped sex trafficking, I was still a very beautiful girl. I told him that he told Sam Reynolds where I was. Fin and Liv saw Patton approach me and they had to pull him off of me. I held on to Fin as Liv grabbed Patton off of me. I had my hand over my mouth and I felt sick. After Liv pushed Patton away and told him to get away from me, I threw up on Fin. I was vomiting until I didn't see Patton anymore." Amanda says.
Tony is shocked from what his daughter told him. He doesn't know what to think or say. He gets up from the couch and he paces.
"Son of a bitch." Tony says.
"I'm sorry, Daddy." Amanda cries.
"It's not your fault, baby." Tony says.
Christina returns from baby Jesse's room to see Amanda and Tony upset. She walks up to her husband and her stepdaughter.
"What happened?" Christina asks.
"Mrs. Rollins, your husband just found out that Patton approached Amanda." Fin replies.
Christina is shocked to hear about what Tony heard. She doesn't know what to think or say. She wants to teach Patton a lesson.
She comforts Amanda as she cries. She has never seen her stepdaughter in pain before. Amanda lays her head on her stepmother's chest.
"Tony, you have to talk to Patton." Christina says.
"I don't want to talk to him. He threatened me. I think you should do it." Tony says.
"I'll talk to him. I'm not going to let that predator get away with harassing my stepdaughter." Christina says.
Christina and Tony get ready to leave Amanda's apartment. They say goodbye to each other and hope to see each other soon. Christina and Tony leave the apartment and head home.
"You did the right thing, Amanda." Olivia says.
"I don't want my daddy to try to kill himself again." Amanda cries.
"Your father's not going to kill himself." Fin says.
The SVU team will make sure that Amanda's father doesn't try to kill himself again. Carisi and Reese come to Amanda's apartment. They see that Amanda's eyes are red.
"What happened to Amanda's eyes?" Carisi asks.
"She has been crying." Olivia replies.
"Why? What happened?" Reese asks.
"Her father just found out that Patton approached her." Fin says.
Reese sits with Amanda on the couch and she comforts her. Both girls know that Patton is a bad man. The whole gang wants to bring Patton to justice. They come up with a plan to keep Patton away from Amanda and her family.
