Chapter 4

Shaun, Claire, Benson, and a male sketch artist sat in an office at the police station while Shaun and Claire described the man.

"What color eyes did he have?" Benson asked.

"I didn't see," Claire said.

"He wore dark shades," Shaun replied.

Shaun began breathing heavily and patting himself of the head.

"Shaun?" Olivia asked. "Are you okay?"

Shaun didn't respond.

"What if this man comes after me?" Shaun asked. "He saw me, I saw him. What if he tries to kill me? What if he tries to kill Claire?"

"Shaun," Benson said. "It's going to be okay."

"Claire and I are in danger," Shaun said.

"Whoever this man is, he's not going to hurt you," Benson said.

"Shaun," Claire said calmly. "Listen to Benson. We're going to be okay."

"Okay," Shaun said. "Okay."

After Shaun and Claire left, Benson and a police officer with the San Jose PD went to San Jose Saint Bonaventure and began showing around copies of the sketch, asking anyone if they had seen the man. Suddenly, an officer walked over to them.

"Olivia Benson?" the officer asked.

"Yes," Benson replied.

"Detective Max Clark from the San Jose Special Victims Unit," Clark said, introducing himself. "I've been assigned to assist you on the case."

Meanwhile, Shaun lied down on his bed watching television. At that moment, Shaun heard his patio door open. This caused him to jump up and scream. He then turned around to see Kenny.

"Relax," Kenny said. "It's just me."

"You didn't knock!" Shaun shouted. "You can't keep entering my apartment at all hours of the night!"

Shaun began heavily breathing and hitting himself on the sides of his head with the palms of his hands.

"Are you having one of those autistic meltdowns?" Kenny asked.

"Leave me alone!" Shaun shouted.

Kenny grabbed Shaun's hands and held them tightly.

"Do not touch me!" Shaun shouted.

"Shaun," Kenny said. "Relax take deep breaths."

Shaun began taking deep breaths. As soon as he calmed down, Kenny let go of Shaun's hands.

"Okay," Kenny said. "Tell me what's wrong."

"A girl died in my arms yesterday," Shaun replied. "She was murdered. I saw the possible killer and I'm scared that he'll try to kill me."

"It's going to be okay," Kenny said. "I will stay here with you until they catch this man."

"No," Shaun said.

"Okay," Kenny said. "If you need anything, I'm right next door."

"Thank you," Shaun said.
