Wars Will Rage (SVU Fanfic)

All the detectives outside the space turned around.

"Did one of those boxes move?" Jamie asked. "And what was that other sound?"

Jamie immediately went to move the boxes. What she saw horrified her.

"Lowell Harris," she said, "you're under arrest for rape, kidnap, and..." she kept talking, hoping he wouldn't charge at her or try to run.

But he did the latter.

Rick caught him easily, slamming his face into the concrete wall while he cuffed the bastard. Two of the other detectives, Brandon and Cameron, took him to a cop car.

Jamie looked at Nicole's barely clothed body and covered her with the sheet. "We need a bus!" she called, holding the teenager in her arms. Looking at the red mark on her face, Jamie concluded that Harris punched her. Rick crawled in to the space with Jamie and looked at Nicole. She was cold, dirty, scratched and obviously beaten at some point, and out cold. She still had a pulse and they knew she's wake up soon, but this left them both with a sick feeling in their stomachs.

"I don't care what Livie says, she's staying with me now," Jamie said. It was always a joke between the detectives that Jamie would take Nicole away from Olivia. That they'd fight over Nicole.

"Olivia's never gonna let her out of her sight again, J."

"I don't care. Oh, baby, what did he do to you?" she asked, trying not to cry as she stroked Nicole's face.

The paramedics came and took Nicole up to the ambulance. They were checking her vitals when the other squad showed up.

This was a Manhattan case, so Amanda took the reigns when Nicole woke up.

Nicole jumped at the view of so many people looking at her. "Get away," she said. "W-Where's my mom? I want my mom!" she called instinctively.

Amanda backed away slowly, going to call Olivia.

"Don't do it," Nick said. "Call Elliot. Liv can't handle that right now."

"Get away," Nicole told the paramedics.

"We need to make sure you don't have-"

"I'm fine. Where's my mom!?" Nicole shouted.

Jersey's SVU detectives turned when they heard Nicole's cries for Olivia. Jamie and Rick ran over, climbing into the ambulance only to witness Nicole slapping away the hands of paramedics.

"We need to check her vitals," one of them said.

"She doesn't want you to do that right now," Rick said harshly. "Nicole, it's okay. I-"

She jumped at the feeling of Rick touching her. He was taken back by it, but then knew it was probably because he was male and he wasn't someone who could comfort her.

Jamie noticed the little interaction and crawled over Rick to get to Nicole. Nicole, not really recognizing Rick as being on her side, saw Jamie and reached for her.

"Oh, baby girl, you're okay. You're okay."

Nicole shook in the woman's arms. "Where's my mom?"

"Worried sick about you. Her captain sent her home. She's been at home since. But we're gonna get you to her. I promise."

"Hey, J!" Brandon called. "You need to give a statement."
