"Liv, where are you?" Amanda cried frantically into the phone

"Nick and I are just leaving the ME's office; Amanda is everything okay?" Olivia could hear the panic in the Rollins' tone and it scared her. What if she was having another flashback? She was alone with Noelle and...

"No! I just...Liv I need you to come home!"

"Okay...okay. Amanda, honey I need you to calm down. Is Noelle okay?"

"She's sleeping. Liv please..."

"Ok, honey I'm on my way, just stay calm" Olivia put her phone back in her pocket as she and Nick headed toward the car.

"Would you mind dropping me off at home?"

"Everything alright?" Nick asked, unlocking the car door.

"I don't know"

Sixteenth...

"Tell me here and now that you were not ridiculously STUPID enough to record what happened with that woman!" Oslo demanded as Chad sat, completely disinterested and noncooperative. He'd been this way since Fin and Barba had left them alone a half hour ago.

"Man stop asking me these questions. I called you to get me outta this shit so get me outta this shit!"

"It's not that simple."

"Then make it simple!"

You don't understand the seriousness of all this, do you?" A young woman was found dead in your bed- a young woman whose father is an ex NYPD detective. Then you've got a rape accusation from another young woman who happens to be an NYPD detective and who has enough evidence to put you away for life!"

"Do I look worried?"

"You should be, you imbecile!"

"She won't open her mouth."

"She won't need to if there's video."

"Do you seriously think I'm stupid? I scrubbed the hard drive. There is no video and she won't go through with this. As for that other girl, they can't blame that on me, so like I said, not worried.

Olivia's apartment...

"Amanda, what's going on?" Olivia asked upon entering the apartment. Amanda was in the living room nervously rocking herself back and forth. "You had me freaked out the whole ride here!"

"I'm sorry, I...didn't know what to do."

"Do about what?" Olivia asked as she took a seat beside Amanda and put her arm around her. "Whatever it is, it's gonna be okay."

"Not this time!" Amanda cried Flustered, Olivia let out a sigh and rubbed her already-tired eyes.

"Okay... How about we start at the beginning?"

"Liv, he knows!" She turned to face Olivia who suddenly had a ghostly appearance about her "Chad knows about Noelle."

"No, he..." Olivia felt as if the wind had been knocked out of her.

"Knows... He knows and he threatened called, said that her father would come for her if I didn't make the rape charge go away. We have to..."

"Amanda, Amanda, listen to me..."

"No, Liv, you need to take Noelle and you need to get away from here, as far away as you can, he won't..." Olivia placed a hand firmly on either of Amanda's arms and gave her a shake.
