Please note: I'm from europe. Sorry for my horrible english. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story and have as much fun reading as I did while writing.

Maddie is a 12 year old girl who lives with Erin and Jay and is also raised by Voight.

She has a dark past, because her mum and her sister got killed while she witnessed the crime. And there are some other events I don't want to give away...

„She's gone", Erin screamed through the office, getting confused views from the team.

Obviously nobody understood what she was saying.

Antonio put the phantom images aside, exchanged irritated views with Atwater, Ruzek and Ollinsky.

„What does it mean? She's gone?", he repeated when Erin took a deep breath, unbelievable what just happened.

Hank Voight, who came back from his lunch break looked at her with wide eyes. Same as Halstead who was busy with paper work.

„Maddie's not in the car anymore. I told her to waite and when I looked next door I noticed that her file is gone. Burgess wanted to transfer the maps tomorrow. It includes all documents we collected with the help of child-service 5 years ago. Also Maddies case."

„So what?", Adam asked in confusion, uncertain what Lindsay meant. Before Erin explained it to him.

„Everything you ever wanted to know about Maddie and her family is written dpown in this folder. The incident with her parents, her past, the whole story about her father. What if she founds out", Erin assumed, reaching for her phone with shaky hands.

Only the voice mail. Maddies cell phone was off.

„Oh lord."

Halstead jumped up from his desk.

„She knows it. Damn, everything makes sence right now.", he combined thoughtfully looking outside the window, being watched by the whole team.

„She asked me if she could work next door yesterday. She said it was for a report she had to do for history. So I allowed her to work on the computer in the archive room."

Erin looked like she was ready to murder him.

„Are you kidding me? You left her alone? In a room full of crime reports?"

Jay hit the wall with his fist, annoyed about himself, getting an angry look from Lindsays side..

Meanwhile Hank Voight started to move around. A fact which spread.

„Where ist he copy? I want a copy of this files. Right now!", he shouted.

But Burgess and Roman looked at each other in shock, already feeling the anger coming.

„That's not possible, Seargant."

„Excuse me?", Voight behaved like he didn't understand her acoustically.

„We've sent the copies to Philadelphia on Friday."

„I don't care. Get it fixed!", he yelled, before it became dead calm in the room.

Erin did a hard job to fight the tears. Madeiline meant the world to her. She was like a daughter and a younger sister to Jay.

"If this is true, she already might be on her way. She's searching for her past. She wants to know what happened 8 years ago", Dawson received, before Voight shared the upcoming tasks.

„Lindsay? Halstead? You search the whole area and be ready for orders. As soon as we got the adress we're calling out for you. If Maddie walks alone on the streets at this time, she might be in big trouble. Let's go everybody!"…

„It's our fault, Jay. We should have told her earlier. We have been waiting for far too long", Erin accused herself, while she was sitting in the car with Halstead, still waiting for further commands.

Jay, also blaming himself, looked at her in sadness, pulling out a tissue, he reached to her.

Since five years Lindsay, Halstead and Voight cared for Maddie Holister who was 12 by now.

The station became a new home to her, after she changed between several forster families and ran away from childrens home.

She lost her mum and sister in one of the most brutal ways and witnessed how her Dad got her family killed.

Jay laughed in irony and shook his head.

„Sorry but how did you thought to explain that to a kid? By the way, Madeleine your mum and sister were stabbed in front of you when you were just 4 years old? You forgot about everything because your brain displaced your PTSD? Are you for real?"

Halstead sighed deeply then he took Erins hand.

„I think we agreed about telling her when she become sixteen. Everyone in the team. Without exception. Even Mouse said that it would be better. And you know what that means."

Erin ran her left hand through her hair. The ongoing events took a toll on her nerves.

„It's too late, Jay. Who in hell knows where she is right now? Her uncle has a criminal record. Same do her cousins. Her old adress doesn't seem like an area where you would left a 12 year old. Even not at this time. And you don't want to know how it ends if she walks to her old home?"

Her speech was interrupted by Voight who contacted them over the speakers.

„Halstead? Lindsay? We got the adress. It's 69th Park Avenue. Meeting in front of the house."

„Copy that", she told Voight, when Jay started the engine and turned off to the side road. Lindsay watched the passengers at the street. Drug dealers, prostitues and strip clubs. Defnietly not good surroundings for a teenager.

„There are two SVUs in front oft he house. The area seems clean. Lindsay? Halstead? We're getting in. Ollinsky and Dawson take their parts from the roof", Voight informed, before they left the car and loaded their weapons..

Jay looked at Erin in a concerned way, stroked her cheek with the back of his hand.

„We're going to find her. Trust me Everything is gonna be alright."
