In relation to
this storyline involving Natalia Borchev
Special Agent John Doggett was not entirely an easy man to piss off. However a little piss ant by the name of Ger had crossed so many lines with him that he was entirely too angry to deal with it. At first when he had heard Natalia had been raped he wanted to go to New York and find the guy and shoot him himself, but logic and the risk to his job and Stark's life had calmed those thoughts. He made a few calls, one to an old Marine buddy Detective Elliot Stabler. He sent him to pick up Mathis who was running around like a drunk fool with a gun. Once he knew that was taken care of he had to tell Stark what was going on. As he expected she took it about as well as he did, neither of them liked their family fucked with. They talked it out and they both knew they had to be there. If only to make sure Ger went down for what he did to their family. They packed up and arranged for a few buddies to show up, as far as anyone knew Ger was behind a rather large online illegal sex video ring the FBI has been investigating. John was toing that that line, but this was important to him. They made the drive to New York. What he didn't know was that before Elliot Stabler would have gotten to Mathis he had already gotten a shot in. Druken as he was it was in the leg because the boy had been off balance,and Ger had thought him nuts and ran off buying a gun.
"Stark don't do anything too crazy."
"John. I have to. Nobody fucks with my family. No one. Ever. Ever again. Seriously now."
She knew she couldn't let Natalia down, she couldn't just let someone mess with her family. Not again.
"My feelings too why the moron has to die, Stark."
"Oh, honey, you have no idea."
"I went into Marine mode for a moment. I wanted to kidnap him and torture him before killing him. I don't want you getting hurt, or me losing you."
"I have to do this, honey. I'm not failing anyone else again."
"You getting hurt or worse won't help anyone."
"...you don't understand, do you?"
"I understand but I'm not losing you"
They both knew to hang back a bit though when things went down neither could be sure they'd not want to kill this guy. They fell into a silence both preparing for this. This wasn't just any case, it was personal. John had a few friends he called in on this and had arranged for Ger to come out of this dead.Drug raid because he knew the kid had drugs all over the place and dealt them freely to kids and college students. John got the call that Mathis was being taken care of.
"Thanks Elliot."
He hung up, he felt for the kid wanting to go after this guy for what he did to his girlfriend. He would do the same if it happened to Stark. He also knew it'd make Nat worse off if he was sent back to Germany and not allowed back into the United States. Once to New York they met up with a Detective Ed Green, he was on loan from Homicide for a bit and John had worked with him before. He was a good copand knew the delicate nature of all this.
"Hey man."
"Hey Ed. Been awhile."
"We are all ready to go. Just waiting on your word."
"We'll wait for Detective Stabler."
"Yeah he's on his way."
"Good. This is my partnerAgent Stark Patrick."
Ed nodded to her just as Elliot Stabler pulled up and got out of the car. He was ready to go in on the rape end of this, seemed Ger had a long string of doing this. Stabler hated people who pulled shit like this little jack ass. He was more then ready to help John out finding out the girl was pretty much family to his old friend. They went in busting the doors down and watched as Ger scrambled wondering what the hell was going on. John and Stark came in after the police with a few other agents.
Ger tried destroying things stupidly while they were right there.John knew the kid wasn'ttoo bright but that took the cake. It was Stark that reacted when Ger reached for a gun and aimed it firing, hitting Detective Stabler in the shoulder. Once the shot went off Stark returned fire and hit him in the chest. Her paintballing games, and John's help on aim enabled her to to take a nice clean fatal shot. They gathered things they needed, except one thing John took. Something he would not let get out, a disk labeled Natalia. Things were gone over, and paper work was assignedto the local police department. FBI there as a courtesy was how it was logged.
John knew he'd have to be there for both Stark and Natalia. Instead of going back to Virginia however, he knew Stark would have to see for herself that Natalia was alright.Then again so did he, he knew she'd need those she loved around her for support. He reached over and took Stark's handgiving it a squeeze. He knew when she was ready she'd talk. Both their pasts had come bubbling up here atr them.The failures they both felt over people they lost, people they failed. They both knew they had to do this for Natalia, and both knew he'd never hurt anyone again. Especially not their daughter.
