Part 1

"Amanda! You okay?" She hears a voice call out as she leans against the wall in the alley.

"Manda, you alright?" another voice says, walking towards her.

She nods her head, wrapping her arms protectively around her stomach as she keeps her eyes trained on the ground. Through her haze, she can make out Amaro arresting the perp who had been on top of her mere seconds prior.

"Yeah, Fin," she finally breathes out, "I'm fine."

"Uhuh," Fin nods skeptically, throwing his arm protectively around her shoulder, "Let's get you checked out." He begins to guide her out of the alley, but Amanda suddenly finds herself digging her heels into the pavement, Fin's words sinking in.

"I'm fine, Fin," she reiterates, standing stubbornly in the middle of the alleyway.

"Amanda," a soft voice calls out, pushing her to shift her gaze from the ground, blue eyes meeting brown. "Amanda," Liv prompts again, "You need to get checked out. It's protocol."

"Mmfine," Amanda insists, words slurring together as the pain in her stomach builds. "Only need to get checked out if it was a fight. It wasn't a fight," she continues, attempting to keep her speech clear as she wraps her arms tighter around her stomach.

"Manda, you've gotta get checked out," Fin insists further, "We're not taking no for an answer."

Liv's annoyance with the blonde disappears as she watches the color drain out of the detective's face.

We're not taking no for an answer. You know I don't take no for an answer.

"No," Amanda pleads, her voice coming out weak and shaky.

Fin shoots Olivia a worried look at his partner's sudden personality shift.

"Amanda," Olivia begins, walking towards her carefully. "We're not going to force you to do anything," Liv assures her, kneeling slightly so her eyes are level with the detective. "But you've got to let the paramedics check you out, at least for shock. It's protocol. You know that."

Liv stares into the cloudy blue eyes, watching as her vision seems to clear slightly, and she gives a weak nod.

Fin and Olivia watch carefully as the detective makes her way over to the paramedics, her stubborn attitude returning as they watch her resist the paramedic's insistence that she go to the hospital.

Less than five minutes later Fin and Liv watch in disbelief as Amanda walks away from the paramedics, clearly intent on returning to work.

"Rollins!" Liv calls out as she and Fin rush to meet the detective, "Where are you going?"

"I'm fine, Olivia," Amanda insists once again, "They said I'm fine. Okay? I've got a lot of paperwork to do," she adds, beginning to walk away from them again.

"I'll give you a ride back to the station, Manda," Fin calls out, running after the blonde.

"I'm fine, Fin. Okay? I'm a big girl."

"Look, I'll leave you alone, alright? But I know you didn't drive here," Fin argues.

Liv watches from a distance as the two detectives argue. She sighs, considering the idea of forcing Amanda to take the rest of the day off before acknowledging there was no way in hell Rollins would agree to that. Realizing there is no real way for Amanda to win her fight with Fin, she starts walking to her car, knowing she will be seeing Rollins back at the station whether she likes it or not.
