Another surprise chapter! Hope you like it!
Two weeks later…
It was another slow day in the 1-6. The detectives were sitting at their desks catching up on paperwork. They all jumped when a desk phone rang.
"Not mine." Fin and Munch said at the same time.
"Calm down boys, it's mine." Amanda said as she put down her pen and picked up the phone. "Detective Rollins SVU." She answered.
"Hi...is sergeant Benson in?" The voice on the other end said.
"She is. May I ask who's calling?" Amanda said next, glancing toward the sergeant's office which was occupied by the woman and her youngest son.
"This is principal McMannon from Simon Baruch Junior High School. I'm calling in regards of her son, Calvin." The woman explained.
"One moment. Let me go get her." Amanda said before setting the phone down and standing up.
"What's that about?" Fin asked as she walked passed his desk.
"Something about Calvin." She said, knocking on the office door.
"Come in." Liv called from inside.
Amanda opened the door just enough to poke her head in.
"Sorry to bother you Sarge. There is a Mrs. McMannon on like two from Calvin's school." She said.
"Okay. Thanks Rollins." Olivia said.
"No problem." The blonde said before starting to walk out.
"Rollins." Olivia called her back in.
"Yea?" She asked.
"Take the rest of the day off. You need to take a break before you wear yourself and your baby out." Olivia said.
"Thanks Sarge." Amanda said and walked out, excited to go home and finally rest.
"Okay Noah...let's see what your brother did." Olivia said.
She picked up her phone and hit the 'line two' button.
"Sergeant Benson speaking." She said, handing a cheerio to Noah.
"Hi Miss Benson. I have Calvin here in my office-"
"What happened?" Olivia interrupted.
"He was in a fight." Mrs. McMannon said.
"A fight? Calvin?" Olivia asked, not believing that Calvin was in a fight.
"He wasn't the one that started it. He acted in self defense."
Not that was more believable, but why did he have to use self defense in the first place?
"We need you to come down to the school so we can have a conference with you and the parents of the other kids" McMannon said.
"Kids? There was more than one?" Olivia asked, already packing up Noah's stuff.
"I'll explain everything once you get here Miss Benson."
"Okay...I'll be there soon." The sergeant replied then hung up the phone.
"Ma." Noah said, holding a cheerio out to her.
"You've got it so easy kid." His mother replied, bypassing the cheerio and picking up Noah instead.
Twenty minutes later, Olivia was carrying a sleeping Noah with her into the office of Simon Baruch Junior High School.
"Can I help you?" The secretary asked.
"My name in Olivia Benson. I was called about my son-"
"Calvin." The secretary cut her off.
"Yeah...where is he?" The sergeant asked.
The secretary, who now identified herself as Mary, led Olivia back to Mrs. McMannon's office. She offered to watch Noah while Olivia took care of her older son. Olivia cautiously handed Noah to her and turned toward the office. As soon as she entered the office, her eyes landed on her son.
Calvin was sitting in a chair holding an ice pack to half his face with one arm while his other arm was in a sling.
"Miss Benson, thank you for coming. I'm Lisa McMannon, the school's principal." The introduction fell on deaf ears.
Olivia was too worried about her son.
"Oh gosh...Calvin." She said as she rushed toward him.
"Mom...I'm fine." Calvin said, wincing as he sat up.
"Take the ice pack off." Olivia ordered.
Calvin sighed before lowering the ice pack to reveal a cut from his eyebrow to his cheek bone with a bruise forming near it.
"Jeez...what the hell happened?" Olivia asked, turning back toward the principal.
"Well…" Lisa started.
One Hour Earlier: Simon Baruch Junior High School
The bell rang, signaling the end of third period. Calvin gathered up his books and hurried out of the classroom. He got to his locker and started putting his stuff away. He heard laughing and looked to his left just in time to see a boy knock a girl's books out of her hands while two other boys laughed and kicked them across the hall. He could see that the girl was close to tears.
"Hey! What was the for?" Calvin said, turning toward the boys.
"Awe...is a cop's kid gonna arrest me?" One of them said. The other two laughed.
Calvin ignored them and started picking up the girl's stuff.
"Oh look, he's helping her. You might wanna help her pick out her outfit too. And teach her how to use makeup too. She needs it." The 'leader' smirked.
That was it. Calvin lost it. He whipped around to face the boys, his face red with anger.
"Are you that much of a jerk!? Maybe you're the one that needs help, and not just with your clothes." Calvin said to him.
The crowd that had gathered around them 'ooed.'
"So he thinks he's Mario now. Trying to save the girl." The boy shot back.
"At least I treat them right and not how you should be treated, like trash!" Calvin yelled.
He didn't see it coming. A right hook to the jaw jarred him backward.
"Think you're so cool? Saving the helpless girl? Well I got news for you buddy. Girls are just a man's toy. Meant to be played with." The boy said, pulling on the girl's hair.
"Get away from her!" Calvin yelled.
"Make me." The boy challenged.
Calvin looked at the girl who was scared shitless. He had to do something but he was told never to throw the first punch.
"I could do that. Or I could call your mom. I have her on speed dial." Calvin retorted.
"You twerp!" The boy yelled and lunged at Calvin.
He saw it coming though and dodged the punch before grabbing his arm and twisting it behind his back. One of the other boys came over and grabbed Calvin, throwing him to the ground. Calvin tried to get up but the 'leader' kicked him in the gut.
"Dominic come on, leave him alone." The third boy said, pulling the boy, Dominic, back.
Calvin took the chance to stand up. He saw Dom reach into his pocket and pull out a pocket knife.
"I'll teach you not to mess with me punk!" He yelled as he lunged at Calvin.
Calvin tried to block the attack but felt the tip of the blade grazed his skin and then felt Dominic twist his arm behind his back.
"Don't you ever touch me again. You even look at me I will kill you." He threatened Calvin.
"Hey! What's going on out here!?" A teacher yelled. Dominic twisted Calvin's arm even more until he heard a pop before taking off down the hall, the other two boys following as the crowd disassembled. Calvin yelled in pain and dropped to the floor clutching his right shoulder. The teacher rushed after the three boys while the girl crouched down near Calvin.
"Stay stillm this is going to hurt." The girl said before grabbin his arm and popping it back into place.
Calvin screamed again before taking a few deep breaths.
"Thanks." He told her.
"You're thanking me? I should be thinking you. Let's get you to the nurses office." She said.
She helped Calvin to his feet and he looked down at her, cradling his right arm against his body.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Carleigh." She said.
"Calvin." He replied, holding out his hand.
She smiled and shook it.
"My hero." Carleigh said.
Present Time
The sergeant was pacing.
"You let a kid bring a knife into the school?" She asked angrily.
"We don't know how he got it in here." The principal replied.
"Mom." Calvin tried getting her attention, a pain shooting through his side.
"Please tell me you caught the kids." His mother asked next.
"All three of them."
"Mom." Calvin tried again.
"I want them all expelled."
Calvin groaned in pain. That got his mother's attention. She turned toward her son to see him holding his side, blood dripping from his mouth.
"Calvin!" Olivia yelled.
She rushed over to her son, heart thumping in her chest.
"Call 911!" She yelled to the principal.
She picked up Calvin and cradled him in her arms.
"Shh...you'll be okay baby. It's okay." She said, praying to God she was right.
Don't hate me! Y'all might have to wait a while for the next chapter so until then I will be hiding under my bed so you don't kill me.
Until next time my friends.
