"Sometimes, people are beautiful. Not in looks, or what they say. Just in what they are." - Markus Zusak

A/N: Hi guys thanks for all of the feedback you've been giving it really helps us out and we're super glad you like reading our stuff. Just to let you know our new Rolivia femslash story is up and it's called Something Wicked. So please be sure to go and check our new story out. Thanks!

Amanda and Olivia sat opened mouthed as they watched Luca's now lifeless body fall onto the wooden floor. When they looked up they noticed Nadia holding a similar expression, and a short haired brunette uniformed officer holding the gun. Olivia saw how the uniformed officer was still in shock, along with Nadia. But her real worry was that Nadia was going to try and run. Even though they didn't have anything against her.

Amanda read the brunette's name tag. "Officer Mila, you mind cuffing her then untying us?" Amanda said struggling against her restraints. She had some of Luca's blood on her shirt and a little in her hair, it disgusted her beyond compare.

Mila lowered her gun and blinked a few times before turning her attention to Nadia. The Indian woman still hadn't moved a muscle. Mila quickly handcuffed her before untying the detectives.

"What's the name of the psycho bitch that held us hostage?" Amanda asked. She and Olivia had just spent the past hour explaining how they were held hostage, and their theories on how it all related to their case.

"Nadia Parks, Nadia Adu, and Mia Adu. Those are just known aliases. But her real name is Asanti Rosyara. She's a 23 year old Nepali native with one hell of a track record." Nick answered as he shook his head.

"Wow that is quite a track record." Cragen said as he walked into the squad room. "You two okay?" Olivia nodded while Amanda gave the Captain a thumbs up and looked back at the piece of paper Nick had been holding.

"So how did Mila figure out we were there?" Benson asked Cragen.

"Officer Mila has been canvasing the place out since Charlotte Ezra was found. She was the first one on the scene, her first homicide so we presume she did a lot more research into the whole thing than us. She said she saw you and Amanda going into the building and after waiting for hours she realised you weren't coming out so that's when she went in."

"She should have called for back-up!" Fin interjected.

"Cassidy is still undercover with them and says things have really been shaken up but apart from that we only know how the girls get in to the country. We still don't know who killed Charlotte." Cragen said while the image of Cassidy played on the younger females' mind.

"But surely that was Nadia, or whatever she's actually called." Amanda jumped in.

"We can't be certain. So keep working on witnesses and see if you can get hold of Asanti's sister, if she has one." The Captain turned on his heels and walked back into his office.

The night had crept in quickly and Amanda lay on Olivia's couch, her feet were up and she watched as the brunette stared out onto the New York streets. The bruise on the older woman's face made her feel guilty, Amanda couldn't protect her and Olivia couldn't protect Amanda. It was a scary realisation that they cared for each other so much but when they were tied up, they had been helpless.

"I can feel you staring at me, Georgia Peach." Olivia sent her girlfriend a half smile.

Amanda shook her head. "Oh you have got to stop calling me that. It's horrible."

The older woman absent-mindedly stroked Amanda's blonde hair. "It's fits. One, you're from Georgia, two, you do like peaches and three, you're sweet as a peach."

"I can't believe you aren't mad at me." Amanda mumbled as she furthered her head deeply into Olivia's shoulder at her touch.

"Now what reason would I have to be mad at you?" Olivia wanted to know.

"I couldn't protect you. What type of girlfriend and partner does that make me if I can't protect you?" Amanda answered quietly. Upon hearing these words, Olivia removed herself from the couch and kneeled down in front of Amanda holding the blonde's hands.

"Amanda Rollins, there was nothing you could've done. You were tied up to a chair, so was I. And you're certainly not the only one who feels guilty here. I feel the same. My blood was boiling when Nadia or Mia or whoever she's calling herself, hit you. I swear; I would've shot her right then and there had my gun been within reach."

Olivia's confession made Amanda's heart flutter. "I love you, beyond compare." Amanda said smiling.

"Is there a reason why I'm here?" Asanti Rosyara asked once Amanda and Nick entered the interrogation room.

Nick slid his chair out from under the table and took a seat in front of her. "Unlawful imprisonment, kidnapping, conspiracy to commit an assault, conspiracy to commit murder and the list goes on."

"I didn't 'imprison anyone'. When I got there, they were already tied up. I never touched the gun, I didn't tie them up. And you surely can't get me on assault. A slap doesn't count as assault." Asanti smirked, and she was right. It was a bunch of baseless charges. But they were only said to try and scare her into giving up any information.

"You got it all figured out don't you?" Amanda narrowed her eyes at Asanti.

"Yes, I know more than you think." Asanti wasn't affected by Amanda in the slightest.

"Oh really now? Try me."

"You're playing with dangerous cards, Amanda."

"That's Detective Rollins to you." Amaro crossed his arms and eyed the women before him. Her demeanour seemed strange yet oddly comforting, he shook his head this woman was clearly a master manipulator and he wasn't going to let her get to him.

"Oh the detective that you know so much about," Asanti smirked again.

"And that's supposed to mean what exactly?" Amanda's voice cut through the air and only helped in making the suspect smile at the blonde's reaction.

"Well where do I start?" The Indian woman looked up to the ceiling as if searching for answers, "Ah yes that's it, and I believe the list started with assault, gambling, drinking problems, and borrowing from loan sharks…"

"That's enough!" The Latino interrupted, "We're not here to talk about all of the detectives in this precinct, we're here so you can tell us what happened to Charlotte Ezra."

"Who? Oh right that girl, I remember her but I don't know what happened to her." Asanti's reaction was cool and collected it was as if nothing could faze her.

Amaro looked across to Rollins and the pair headed for the door, before they got there however Asanti spoke again.

"By the way how's the daughter Detective Amaro?"

"How did she know that?" Nick's voice was low yet his question was strangely urgent.

"Nick it's okay. Just ignore her; she's trying to get a reaction." Olivia put her arm on Amaro's shoulder as she looked across at Amanda. The corners of her mouth only just rose up into a smile as they both realised that this case was going to be a tough one to crack.

Fin rounded the corner and looked at the other detectives. "We found her sister. She's on her way here."

A/N: Thanks for reading, we hope you liked it! So where do you think we're going with this plot? Will Asanti's sister be any help? Or will Asanti Rosyara just stir up more trouble for Amanda? Leave us a review letting us know.
