Olivia had been called in to work on a Saturday due to a rape of a Supreme Court judges daughter. So she called Lucy and asked if she could watch Brielle for the day and Lucy agreed but did say she'd have to take Brielle with her to run some important errands in the city and olivia told her that was fine.
Brielle walked in to the bathroom and seen olivia doing her hair and makeup "are we going somewhere mommy?" She asked with a smile.
Olivia sighed and knelt to her 6 year old daughter's level and said "sorry sweetie I have to go in to work today but I promise my next day off I'm all yours ok" she said.
Brielle wined "but mommy..."
"I know it's not fair sweetheart but you know what? Lucy is coming over and she's going to take you on some errands but when she's finished I told her she could take you to the toy store and you can pick out 1 toy and she will take you to the park after that ok" Olivia bargained with her young daughter.
Brielle nodded still sad but said "ok mommy" she sighed and walked away sadly.
Olivia hated letting her daughter down but she knew she would make it up to her soon.
A little while later Lucy showed up and olivia kissed her daughters head before heading out the door.
Lucy then helped Brielle pick out an outfit and do her hair before putting her jacket on.
"Ok kiddo let's get the boring stuff done so we can get to the fun stuff ok?" Lucy smiled and took brielles hand as they headed out of the apartment.
Lucy ran errands at the library, the dry cleaners and the university she attended. Then as they finally got back in her car Lucy said "ok kiddo how about the toystore next?"
Brielle nodded excitedly "yes please" she said in a high pitched tone.
Lucy kept hold of brielles hand as bri went isle to isle looking and talking about all the new toys that had been released since her last time there.
Finally Lucy said "ok bri let's pick one now or we won't have time to go to the park."
Bri found an interactive teddy bear and picked it up then heard some loud bangs like fireworks going off inside and Lucy yanked bri to her.
"Lucy what is that it's loud!" She yelled and Lucy quickly shushed her as she picked her up and ran shoving bri in to a small plastic play house and Lucy whispered "mouse" which Lucy and olivia had taught her was a code word for staying quiet in an emergency situation. Bri had tears in her eyes but stayed quiet and curled in to a ball like she was supposed to.
Lucy seen the gunman coming their way and distracted him by running down an isle.
The man followed her not noticing Brielle in the enclosed playhouse.
Bri was shaking but knew not to go anywhere until Lucy said mouse again but she peeked out and didn't see Lucy and began to get more scared but still didn't move.

Mean while at the precinct olivia was interrogating a suspect in the judges daughters rape when fin came in and said "Liv we need a minute".
Olivia sighed feeling like she almost had the confession and said "just a sec fin."
"No liv now really" he said.
Olivia got up frustrated and walked out of the room and closed the door "what I almost had him?"
Amanda walked over quickly "you said you told Lucy to take bri to the toy store right? Which one?"
Olivia was confused "why? What's going on?"
Fin looked at her "Liv which one?!"
"FAO Schwarz near Rockefeller center. Why?" She asked worried now.
Amanda got wide eyed and said "active shooter situation at that toy store right now"
Olivia froze "what?!" She ran to her office and grabbed her phone and dialed Lucy but didn't get an answer "shit!"
Olivia grabbed her coat and threw it on and yelled "fin drive me please" she said running to the elevator.
Fin ran after her and left with her.

Bri felt like she was sitting curled in there for a very long time and still didn't see Lucy but could still hear bangs. She was scared Lucy wasn't coming back but still didn't move, partly because she was terrified in shock.
***
Olivia and fin showed up on scene where the ambulances and police had to stay at a distance.
"What's going on what's the plan?!" Olivia asked the commanding officer.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"lieutenant benson, svu. My daughter is inside with my nanny. Please tell me you have a plan." She said trying to hide her panic.
"We have swat and backup on thier way and we will be surrounding the building to attempt to infiltrate." He said.
(Cliff hanger. What will happen? Is Lucy still alive? Will bri stay safe and quiet? Will olivia lose her daughter for good this time? Find out in the next chapter.)
