"What's going on?" Olivia asked

"So he's stalking me. He's been calling me, saying that he wants to see me.He went to my apartment when I wasn't there, and he left a note."

"This is the man who assaulted you?" Olivia asked

"Rick Purcell, my cameraman."

"Okay, have you told your employers about this?Anyone at HR?" Olivia asked

"No. Look...I can't go to HR.I can't go to anybody there.I-I'm a professional.I can always do my job.I just need an out-of-work-hours restraining order."

"It doesn't work that way.If he's stalking you--" Mia said

"No, can you just talk to him and tell him to leave me alone and stop calling me?"
