"~Unconditional Love~" (Law&Order SVU)

Chapter IV (4): "Founded"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No one's POV:

It was the next day, and immediately the sqaud was trying to get more information. Well, actually, Elliot and Olivia managed to get the 18 pictures of the missing pictures, since They'd already had a picture of Cassidy, She'll probably be the least difficult to find, however, the 18 other children will be hard to find.

So, the sqaud decided to split up into group of teams, two groups of 4 in fact, Fin, John, Amanda and Dominick in one group, and the other group, Olivia, Elliot, Lake and Dr. Huang in another group. All across the city, They search high and low for either Cassidy or the children, well, They all mostly wanna find the children then Cassidy.

As Olivia, Elliot, Lake and Dr. Huang were walking through the city, Lake looked down at the picture of all the 18 children, His heart breaks every time, He wonders what these children's lives were like, and his scared They must be.

"I wonder what these kids' lives are like right now," Lake wondered, Dr. Huang looked at Him, deep down, Dr. Huang wanted to tell His squad a secret that He'd never told anyone else since He first became a SVU agent and a psychiatrist, but He stopped Himself.

But then, all of a sudden-

"OI! STOP KID!" Someone screamed, which grabbed the four SVI agents' attention, They quickly ran to the scene, where They were running towards a store, and the cashier pointed to His right and-

"A KID STOLE MY FRUIT AND BREAD!" The cashier yelled out, and just like that, the team of 4, then split of 2 after They bolted in different directions to chase the kid who stolen the fruit and bread.

As Olivia and Dr. Huang were chasing the kid, who had a gray hoodie, with His gray hood on His head, They'd realized that He was slowing down, but then, Dr. Huang looked down, and His heart dropped once He saw blood, droplets of blood on the concrete floor.

As the kid in the gray hoodie was about to turn the corner, Elliot and Lake came out of nowhere, and Elliot grabbed the kid, and pinned Him against the wall, the boy scream and cried out in pain.

Olivia's eyes widened once She realized that, it was one of the missing children as Elliot took off the kid's hood, and the kid was bleeding from the side of His stomach.

"El, be gentle!" Olivia called out, and She pointed at the kid's injury, Elliot immediately got gentle, and apologized to the kid, and gently put Him on the ground, and Elliot used His jacket to covered the kid's big wound, as Olivia was calling for an ambulance.

After what happened, the kid in the gray hoodie was identified as, 12 year old Alfredo Parker, He is the Oldest foster kid of Cassidy, He had brown-ish black hair, with brown eyes.

Alfredo managed to hold onto His life and allowed doctors to fix up His injuries, as the four detectives were waiting patiently in the hallway outside of Alfredo's room. Alfredo looked very beaten up, all over His body were cuts, bruises and burns, along with a black eye, a bruised nose, His hair looked to be ripped out of His head a little, along with a swollen lip, and finally, a sprained ankle.

Alfredo or Alfie, which others call Him, had a bag full of stolen fruit, a couple of bottles of water, a baguette bread, and a pack of aid bandages. After a bit of waiting, the doctor came walking out of the room, and went over to the four SVU agents.

"How is He?" Olivia asked.

"He'll make a full recovery, except that He's gonna have these scars for the rest of His life, someone really did a number on Him," Alfredo's doctor explained.
