"Hello?"
"Is she ok?"
"I will come and get her in about an hour"
Elliot heard bits and pieces of their conversation and was wonder what was going on. Olivia looked over at him and explained
"Melaina says she wants to go home. Nobody knows why" She said. Elliot nodded his head and answered
"Well let's see what's going on here and then you go and get her. They pulled off to the side of the road and got out of the car. They flashed their badges at the officers at the scene and ducked under the yellow tape that was lining the crime scene
"What do we have?" Elliot asked, looking at another officer
"11 years old, female, raped, beaten to death with this metal pipe" He said. Olivia looked down at the body and could see dents where the pipe hit her. They wrote a few things down before heading back to the precinct.
Olivia pulled up at the daycare and walked up to the front desk. Melaina saw her and ran over to her with tears filling her eyes. Olivia picked her up and rested her daughters head on her shoulder.
"What's wrong, baby?" She asked
"I'm not s'possed to tell" Melaina responded. Olivia's stomach dropped, she had heard that line so many times before. She could feel the warmth from her daughters tears soaking through her shirt.
"Melaina, no matter what happened, you need to tell mommy, ok?" Melaina shook her head
"Then he's gonna hurt you, too"
Olivia's eyes filled with tears. She walked out of the daycare so that nobody would see her. She opened the door to her car and buckled Melaina into her car seat before driving a couple minutes down the road so that Melaina could talk without thinking that the man might be listening. Olivia hopped into the backseat and sat Melaina on her lap
"Melly, who said they were gonna hurt you?"
"No, momma, he did hurt me. He said that if I telled, he was gonna hurt you, too" She explained.
"Was it a man from daycare?" Olivia asked, not believing her ears. Melaina nodded and rested her head on Olivia's chest
"How did he hurt you, Melaina?" She asked in her softest voice
"He hit me, a lot. Then he put somethin inside me" Melaina said. Olivia let out a small sob, but not loud enough for Melaina to hear. Melaina fell asleep in her lap and Olivia put her in her seat. Then she drove to the hospital.
They pulled into the parking lot and Melaina was still asleep. Olivia called Blake but his phone was off. Then she called Elliot and he was there in five minutes. Melaina woke up soon and Olivia picked her up and walked her inside. They sat Elliot waited in line to get to the front desk and Olivia took Melaina to sit down.
"Melaina, when did this man hurt you?" Olivia asked
"Last week. It was the day that I loosed my tooth. He made me loose it." She explained
"Ok, and has he hurt you since then?"
"Ya, but he just hits me now. Thats how I gotst the boo-boo on my cheek" She said. Olivia sighed with relief; at least this hadn't been multiple rapes. Sadly, Olivia had bathed Melaina since then. Elliot came and sat next to them. They were only waiting a few minutes before being called back. They got settled in a room and the nurse had Melaina change into a gown. There were very few marks that would prove abuse. One bruise on her cheek bone and a scratch on her arm. Olivia laid Melaina down and removed her underwear. Melaina started crying and Olivia stopped.
"Shh, it's ok, Melaina. The nice nurse is going to make sure your okay" Olivia said, running her fingers through her daughter's soft, brown hair. Melaina didn't say anything, she just continued crying. Elliot brought Melaina's knees up and slowly spread them apart, revealing redness in between her legs. Nobody was willing to touch her quite yet. Melaina calmed down and allowed the nurse to examine her.
"I'm going to go and get the doctor. He will be able to examine her closer." The nurse said to Olivia. Olivia nodded and turned back to her daughter. A doctor soon walked in and Melaina scrambled into Olivia's arms.
"It's okay, sweetie, he won't hurt you" Olivia said, but Melaina was still terrified.
"Would you like me to get a female examiner?" He asked us. Olivia nodded her head and mouthed out the words "Thank you" to him. He smiled and walked out. 10 minutes later, a nurse walked in
"Hi, I'm Charlotte, what's your name?" She said, looking at Melaina
"I'm Melaina" The five year responded.
"Wow! You're a very big girl! Ok, Melaina, I am going to look between your legs and make sure not hurt, ok?" Melaina looked up at Olivia and Olivia nodded her head. Melaina said ok and Elliot lifted her legs up. Olivia looked to see what the nurse was doing and she saw a long, narrow, otoscope-type device
"Um, what is that for?" Olivia asked, even though she knew exactly what it was for
"This is to get a better look. We use it for children when they need it" She replied. Olivia nodded her head and let her continue. Melaina was doing great until she felt something sliding into her. Her eyes filled with tears and she started yelling
"Mommy! No! Don't hurt me!" She exclaimed.
"It's ok, she won't hurt you. She is almost done." Olivia said, trying to sooth her daughter. After a few more minutes, Charlotte asked Elliot to step into the hallway for a second. He followed and she explained Melaina's condition.
"Minor trauma that is healing and no tearing. This guy probably used a small object. Everything else looks fine. Now, your wife said that she has bathed Melaina a couple times over the past few days so a rape kit won't be necessary." She said. Elliot thanked her and walked back in the room. Olivia looked up at him, wondering what he would say
"Minor trauma but it's healing. No tearing or anything else" He said. Olivia sighed with relief and kissed Melaina's forehead. She got her dressed and they headed back to Olivia and Blake's apartment. When they got there, it was time to take Melaina's statement. Elliot got out a tape recorder that he had brought with him to take his god-daughter's statement. He pushed the red button and set it down on the night stand
"Melaina, what happened to you last week?" Elliot asked
"I got hurted at my daycare"
"Do you know who hurt you?"
"No"
"How did this person hurt you?"
"He put something right here" Melaina stated, pointing to her pelvis
"Do you know what that thing was?"
"No"
"Can you tell me everything he did to you?" Elliot asked, Melaina nodded her head
"I was playin with my dolly when I had to go potty. I runned down the hall to the bathroom and I went potty, but when I left, there was somebody waitin for me. I said hi but then he got me. I tried to run, mommy! I did! But he got me and he took me in the boy bathroom and then he hurt me" Melaina said, crying freely. Olivia hugged her daughter and nodded at her to continue
"He turned off the lights and then he tooked off my dress and hit me. Then he started kissen me 'n I telled him that he wasn't s'possed to, but Then he hit me really hard. Then wiped something cold on me and then he stuck something inside me, it hurt…a lot…" Melaina couldn't say any more because she was crying too hard.
"Come here, Melaina" Olivia said as she picked up Melaina and cradled her. Melaina calmed down and was ready to talk again.
"What did he do after he hurt you?" Elliot asked
"He heard a knock on the door and then he threw my dress at me and told me to put it on. Then he told me that if I said anything, he would hurt mommy. Then he waited a while and ran out. I ran the other way and den I pretended to fall so that I could cry." Melaina gripped on to Olivia again. Olivia couldn't believe what her daughter was saying, pretending to fall so that you could cry? No child should have to do that! She wiped Melaina's tears and they continued. After 5 more minutes, Elliot ended the recording and put the recorder back in his jacket. Olivia began singing to her daughter to try and calm her down.
Hush little Melly, don't say a word,
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns to brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little Melly in town
Melaina was asleep by the end of the song and Olivia looked down at her and ran her fingers though Melaina's hair.
