Not Everything Done In The Dark Is Shameful chapter 14

Rafael and Olivia fell asleep on the couch. Barba wasn't sure which one of them fell asleep first, but he slept well. He got up at 6AM, and left for the office at 6:30. Olivia woke up at 6:15, and neither of them knew how to explain the sleepover to Noah. Nothing happened but Noah wasn't used to anyone being in the apartment in the very early morning besides his mother. Before he left she wished him a good morning, and gave him a cup of coffee.

He saw her again at the courthouse when she testified for the jury. He smiled when he caught a glimpse of her at recess. Her phone rang, she answered quickly, and ran out. Sometimes Rafael Barba hated phones. He hadn't heard from her since, but at 6:PM his phone rang. It was now 6:15PM, and he nervously entered the station. He stopped at Amanda Rollins desk. "Rollins, what is it?" He often got called to the station, but it was usually Olivia who placed the call. It was not a good sign when the call came from anyone but her.

"Hey Barba" The young blond said. picking up a cup of coffee and sipping quickly before placing it down on her desk and continuing "I thought you would want to be here as soon as Carisi and Fin brought this guy in, and when Olivia got back from the hospital."

"What?" Barba exclaimed "Where is she? What hospital?" He turned to exit. His mind raced, he had to get to her.

"Hold on Barba, stay here. She's on her way, there's no point in you going to Mercy hospital by the time you get there, she'll be here." He turned to face the desk again.

"Rollins what happened?" Amanda knew from the look on Barba's face she needed to start talking. He needed to be brought up to speed and quickly. He looked like he was about to explode with fear.

"Can I get you some coffee?"

"Rollins don't take this the wrong way, but start talking." He almost growled. "What happened to her?"

"She'll be fine. She's on her way back here." Barba took a deep breath, he believed Rollins knew what she was talking about, as of now she had more information than he did, but relieve would not wash over him until he saw Olivia.

"Rollins start from the beginning", he said trying to sound calm.

"Not long ago a new bar opened up called The Playground, and since then tips have been coming in about a guy. This guy sits at a table alone, picks a woman, and tracks her movements all night. When the woman is about to leave the bar, he makes himself known by saying goodnight to her. When she exits he runs after her, drags her to a nearby alley, beats and rapes her."

"What happened to Olivia?" Barba asked again finding it hard to keep his voice controlled.

"She's fine. This guy. we call him the good night rapist. He has a type confidant , brunette, curvy, the kind of women who looks like she works out all the time, and can kick a man's ass."

"Liv" Barba interrupted.

"Exactly, Liv is his idea of the perfect woman."

"How comforting. Barba said sarcastically. "She is your lieutenant" , he found it hard to keep the anger and fear out of his voice "What was she doing undercover?"

"If this guy could put his specifications for the perfect woman into a computer, out would pop Liv."

"Again very comforting."

"Sorry she's my friend. You know Liv. All I'm saying is that once she understood that she was his type she had to go get him, there was no talking her out of it."

"She's on her way?"

"Yeah" Rollins answered. "She didn't want to go to the hospital. I called Lucy."
