Hold On. (Rafael Barba/ Law & Order: SVUxCriminal Minds) *COMPLETED*

Chapter One: Endings and New Beginnings.

Alisha

"If I am ever in New York, I will make sure to see you, understood?" Emily says, hugging me tightly and kissing the side of my head.

"Understood" I say hugging her tightly.

I pull back from her and look at my previous team members. Spencer, Aaron, Emily, Penelope, Derek, and David.

"Good luck up there in the big apple, kid," Derek says, trying not to cry as he spoke. "You be good up there."

"I always am Derek," I say smiling and hugging him. "Come on ya'll, it ain't like I'm dying. I'll be back. This place is my home."

They all smile at me, "Right now. You've got a plane to catch" Aaron says. I nod and pick up my suitcase and turn to Spencer, who hadn't said a word this whole time.

"Spence?" I say softly, he looks at me like a lost puppy. "I'll be back. I promise." I say. He nods and pulls me into a tight hug. I pull back and smile at him, "I love you all. Don't be strangers okay?" I say to all of them. They nod and Aaron walks me out to the cab.

"You going to be okay in New York?" Aaron asks me, "I gotta get out of here Aaron..." I whisper. "That isn't what I asked Ali..." Aaron says quietly.

"I hope so," I say, he pulls me into a tight hug. "I'm only a phone call away, got it?" He asks. "I got it." I get into the cab and he shuts the door. As the cab pulls away I watch him, and my past fade into the background.

8 hours later

"You must be Alisha..." A woman with medium length brown hair asks me as I walk into Manhatten Special Victims Unit. "That would be me," I say.

"I'm Lt. Olivia Benson, it's a pleasure to meet you," She says shaking my hand. "The pleasure is all mine ma'am," I say and follow her into her office.

"Your partner will be Detective Carisi, he is a little bit sarcastic but he's sweet," Olivia explains to me, "You will meet our D.A a little later. He should be coming by here around 3," she says. She waves for me to come with her and we exit her office.

"Everyone, can I have your attention..." Olivia calls, a blonde making coffee walks over, a light skin man turns around, and a man with a lot of gel in his hair looks up.

"This is our new detective Alisha Miller, she came from the BAU in Quantico," Olivia says, "Virginia?" the blonde asks. "Yes," Olivia says.

"Alisha, this is Amanda Rollins," Which is the blonde girl, "Fin Tutuola," which is the light skin man, "And this is Detective Dominick Carisi, your new partner," Olivia finishes.

"It's a nice to meet ya'll," I say and shake their hands. "It's nice to meet you too Alisha," Carisi says. "Ya'll can call me Ali," I say. "And you can call me Sonny," Carisi says.

"Why? No one else does," Amanda says smirking slightly. Sonny rolls his eyes and I smile, "You're not from around here, are you, Amanda?" I ask her. "No, I'm not. I'm from Georgia," she states with a smile.

"Sorry to cut this party short, but a girl was raped after prom last night. Fin, Rollins, you go to the crime scene, Carisi, Miller, you go get the victims statement at the hospital." Olivia says. "On it Lieutenant" Carisi says.
