Rafael Barba Imagine - Wrong Place Wrong Time (Part 4)

 You are a detective for NYPD’s SVU under lieutenant Olivia Benson. In Season 17 Episode 10 you are abducted as a hostage with Olivia and Rafael is outside the scene. 

Kailyn falls into Rafael, hardly able to stand on her own at this point. The paramedics try to get to her, but she shoves them off as Rafael holds her tighter than ever before. One of his arms is around her shoulders and the other is against the back of her head. "I've got you, I've got you," He repeats as he helps her back toward the van.

"Rafa," She mumbles against his clothes.

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

"You're staying with me tonight," He says and I just nod, glancing around his apartment, though feeling incredibly numb throughout my entire body. "I-" That's when I feel myself crumble for the first time since it all happened. Tears run from my eyes as Rafa holds me close to him, helping me to sit down on the bed. "Why were you at the scene? You're normally just needed after," I joke, though my voice incredibly small and weak, and he smiles, wiping the tears from my cheeks but then looks away, "I knew you were in there. I couldn't not be there," He says and my heart softens.

"H-he had the gun against my head the entire time," "I know," he says, voice as soft as butter at this point, "All I could think of was that I would never have gotten to tell you how I feel...I have wasted so much time being afraid of my own feelings," I whisper and he looks at me, now his eyes softening too.

"Well now we have all the time in the world. You wanna use the bathroom to wash your hair?" He says and I smile, for a lawyer he sure is not direct right now. "Yes," "I'll run you a bath," he says, kissing my temple before walking into the bathroom as I take off my jacket and kick off my shoes. I hear him come back into the room and even the sound of his footsteps made my heart skip a beat. "Breathe, you're safe now," He says, coming back to me and I feel my heart racing now, but for a different reason. He takes my hand and I feel my body shaking again as he leads me into the bathroom.

I walk into his large bathroom and see the tub filling up with bubbles and warm water. My body feels weak. Weaker than I care to admit as I feel Rafa behind me. "Would like me to wait outside?" He asks breath against my shoulder, but I shake my head, "Stay," "Te cuidaré" he whispers as I hesitantly pull my top off. I did not think that the first time Rafael would see me naked is him helping me wash blood out of my hair. I pull the rest of my clothes off before stepping into the warm water, still not quite feeling like myself.

The water surrounds my skin as I sit down, wasting no time to curl into a ball. Rafael sits beside the tub, ready to wash my hair and be careful to not touch my stitches. I glance up at him to see him staring at me with a more loving look than I've ever seen before. "I wish he didn't die. I wanted him to suffer the consequences," I mumble against my knee and Rafa nods, "I know, I'm sorry," He says and I just continue to look down at the water.

His hands massage my head and I lay back contently, now feeling slightly more comfortable to show my breasts. The water quickly turns pink, but Rafa never stops. After letting me sit for a while, he helps me out of the tub, letting me borrow some of his clothes.

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

Rafael holds her as she stumbles from the tub. The towel is wrapped around her body loosely, but even for the experienced ADA it's hard to watch her in such a rough shape. The stitches in her forehead ache as she looks more exhausted than he thought possible. After having a gun held to anyone's head for hours that entails therapy and a psychologist note in order to go back to work, but he's sure that Kailyn knows all of that.

"Come to bed, cariño," he says as he helps her lay in his sheets. "Rafa, why have we spent all those nights going over notes in my apartment when you live in a place like this?" she asks, eyes already closed against the pillow, He chuckles to himself, "I'll go to the guest room," "No!" she exclaims, eyes opening and perking up as she grabs his hand. He realizes through this how traumatized she really is, "Okay, okay. I'll stay," He whispers and she nods, body relaxing back against the mattress.

Barba's phone buzzes with a text from Carisi, Sonny: How's McCann doin? Have you talked to her? Barba: She's fine. Staying with me for a while. Sonny: Take good care of our girl for us

Rafa turns his phone off to look back at Kailyn. "I was thinking the same thing today," "Hm?" She asks as he crawls into bed on the other side, laying beside her. "I thought that-well, if I lost you then I never-I never would've been able to tell you," He says, "Tell me?" She asks, now opening her beautiful blue eyes, "Te amo," He whispers and her eyes widen, "I love you," she whispers back, putting her hand on the side of his face.

His eyes close at her touch, "I thought I was going to lose you today," "I'm here," His eyes shut as he holds back the tears he didn't know where coming.

An advocate is a legal professional who represents clients in legal matters, providing them with legal advice, assistance, and representation in court proceedings. Advocates are trained and licensed to practice law and are typically skilled in analyzing legal issues, interpreting laws, drafting legal documents, and presenting arguments in court. They work to protect the rights and interests of their clients, whether individuals, businesses, or organizations, and may specialize in various areas of law such as criminal law, civil law, family law, or corporate law. Advocates play a crucial role in helping clients navigate the complexities of the legal system and achieve favorable outcomes in their legal disputes or transactions.

How can the New York Post headline "SHOCKER",when some fans probably thought he left Law and Order many years ago?

Either the actors and actresses of the original series have stopped acting,moved on to other shows and some have passed away (Detective Munch).

You can see Sam Waterson's final appearance on February 22 (check your local listings to be sure).

Sam Waterson on former President Donald Trump.

Hugh Dancy Says He Wants Wife Claire Danes to Guest Star on 'Law & Order' (Exclusive)

[svu-oc-obsessed]

This show < every other show

[nyc-on-tv]

Dipping my toes in (Fun with Familiarity - Law&Order: Special Victims Unit)

First show to start my trek into NYC TV was Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Like many people who had cable growing up, I spent a lot of time watching this series with my family. We even got excited to watch whenever there was a marathon on the USA Network. However, I never watched the original Law & Order nor did I ever start this series from episode 1. So I figured it would be nice to try this one as a way to ease into my journey.

It obviously did not disappoint. SVU is a good procedural despite tackling topics that make the general public uncomfortable. As a New Yorker, it can feel like we are numb to the dangers of city life. But this show always puts it front and center and even if you’ve seen all the episodes, I feel like you can still be swayed to pick different sides of a case they are working on or even pick different sides of characters.

Early on Elliot Stabler seems very sure of his views on criminals and the law due to him being a father of 4, a practicing Catholic, and a marine/soldier prior to the series. I believe like many he goes through his career with a sense of black and white law views. On the other end we have Olivia Benson, a younger detective who is unfortunately aware of the large grey areas of the justice system. This comes strongly from being a woman in the police force and the child of TRIGGER WARNING rape TRIGGER WARNING. Many episodes focus on their views and conflicts toward their cases and how it affects them moving forward as people, detectives, and partners.

I’ve watched SVU up until Stabler left, so not a stranger to the format of the show and not a stranger to shipping Benson and Stabler. I’d say this show can be a good view into major parts of Manhattan and can be a good litmus test of things a viewer can be comfortable with in terms of sex conversations and in terms of morality.

While I do love the main detectives, John Munch and Odafin Tutuola are a greater source for comedy when the show needs it. Munch’s analytical stereotyping of society and Fin’s rational oblviousness make a nice pairing for viewings of the show who can easily understand their takes as simple watchers and not as anyone who’s had to experience such events in their life.

One of my favorite shows ever and some day I’ll watch the post-Stabler era.

Rafael Barba Imagine - Wrong Place Wrong Time (Part 2)

 You are a detective for NYPD’s SVU under lieutenant Olivia Benson. In Season 17 Episode 10 you are abducted as a hostage with Olivia and Rafael is outside the scene. 

Dodds and Barba march into the van where Tucker is with Fin and Carisi. The third criminal in the group has been taken into custody and is being interrogated in the van actively. "The last you heard. What's going on to Kailyn?" Barba asks Tucker and Tucker sighs, "This may be a little too personal to you," Fin says and Rafael shakes his head, "I need to know every detail of what is happening to her," "Joe. The main man is using Kailyn. The gun is apparently against her head as we speak," Rafael's hand goes over his mouth, seemingly thinking but actually just trying to hide the immense fear running through his body.

Barba turns to Ralph, the criminal, and says "Hello, Ralph. I'm Assistant District Attorney Raphael Barba. You need to tell me everything you know right now," "Me and my sister Roxie only got into this because our mother needs a new hip. She doesn't want to hurt anybody that's all on Joe," "So Joe's his real name?" Barba asks, tone much more serious than anyone had ever heard before, but Ralph stays quiet, "Ralph look at me. If anyone dies in that house you and your sister are on the hook for felony murder. You help us or I will ensure that you both are gone," He practically spits at the criminal.

Kailyn's POV

"The last time I spoke to him we were fighting...we never even got a chance to-" Olivia already knows who I'm trying to talk about, "Kailyn, you will get a chance to tell him," She whispers to me as I feel the metal of the gun dig against my hair. "I told you no talking," Joe spits at me before using the gun to hit me hard over the top of the head, just like he did with Liv. As the gun connects with my skin, I immediately feel instant, throbbing pain that sends me to the ground.

I glance up as Liv tries to help me, and I feel the cold sensation of blood run down the side of my cheek. Liv has dried blood on her head now and I can feel my own blood soaking into my hair. Voices become fuzzy for just a few moments as Joe and Roxie scream at each other.

I watch him answer a call from Ed again and they seem to discuss letting someone named Ralph back inside the house with the money. "If you don't let him in here blondie dies," Joe says into the phone, then I hear Tucker say, "You don't have to kill anybody if you don't want to," Joe looks at us for a second with a smile before handing the phone to Olivia, "I think they really want Ralph in here now," She says, trying to stay calm but even her voice is shaking now as she continues to help me back to my knees. "We can't do that right now," Tucker says, "He's telling the truth. We're not allowed to send civilians inside," She says to him.

"Alright then. I'm done talking," Joe says, putting the gun against my head again and I can't help but whimper this time, and I'm sure they heard it over the phone. "Joe. Joe listen to me, take the gun away from Detective McCann. We can talk this out," "Didn't you hear me, Ed? I'm done talkin"

He turns away from the phone and starts arguing with Roxie again, and I can tell she's just as afraid of him as the rest of us are. "Alright Joe, listen. We will bring your money in to you, but you have to let one person out," Tucker says and Joe hesitantly nods, "Fine,"

I don't move from my place as the exchange begins to go down. The people around me start becoming a blur as I think I see Dobbs come in at some point? All I know is that the father makes it out and Joe gets his money.

"How's it looking in there?" Fin asks Dobbs after getting the father safely in the ambulance. He manages to avoid eye contact with Barba, "The children are okay. Liv seems fine...but Kailyn...she's losing a lot of blood from her head. When I went in there she was in a daze, not even on her feet,"

Rafael puts his hand over his mouth, making it look like he is pondering, but actually to hide the fear. The terrifying thought of her laying there bleeding out as a madman holds a gun against her head.

The brief parallel of Rollins saying a marriage is a lot like a crime when Carisi said a partnership is a lot like a marriage 🥲🥹 I’m so happy for them 😩❤️

Show of strength at festival time

K Thangarasu v. The Secretary (Tourism, Culture & Religious Endowment Departments) & 5 others

Writ Petition 21707 /2023, before Madras High Court

Writ Petition dismissed on 21.07.2023 by Hon’ble Mr. Justice N Anand Venkatesh

Background

This writ petition has been filed for Writ of Mandamus for directing the respondents to grant police protection to conduct the festival at Arulmigu Sri Rudhra Maha Kaliamman Temple at Sirkali Town beginning tomorrow (23.07.2023) till 01.08.2023.

Petitioner claims that he is the hereditary trustee of the temple & wanted police protection to ensure that no untoward incidents take place during the festival. The petitioner moved representation before the Tehsildar but it was not considered, the present writ petition has been filed before this Court.

Submission of the Respondent - Government functionaries

1.    There is a dispute between two parties in conducting the festival. A Peace Committee meeting was conducted by the Tahsildar, Sirkali, where both the groups participated but were not able to reach to any settlement.

2.    Another dispute related to the festival was who will keep the Vinayagar idol inside the temple. Since the Tahsildar found that granting permission for conducting the festival will lead law and order problem, he directed that no one should keep the Vinayagar idol inside the temple and no one should create any law-and-order problem.

Observation of the Court

1.    The purpose of a temple is to enable the devotees to worship god for peace and happiness.

2.    There is no devotion involved in conducting these festivals and rather it has become a show of strength by one group or the other.

3.    It is quite painful that this Court has to encounter writ petitions of this nature on a daily basis.

4.    If temples are going to perpetuate violence, the existence of temples will have no meaning and in all such cases, it would be better to close down those temples so that the violence can be averted

5.    Till the man drops his ego and goes to the temple seeking for the blessings of the god, the whole purpose of having a temple is of no use.

6.    The Police and Revenue have got other important functions to perform and their time is wasted by trying to resolve the dispute between two groups who have no devotion to god and are more interested in showing their strength over the other.

Decision

There is no question of providing police protection for conducting the temple festival. It is left open to the parties to conduct the festival peacefully without their ego coming to the forefront. If any law-and-order problem is created, the respondent police shall immediately interfere and take action against all persons concerned and shall stop the festival from proceeding any further.
