CHAPTER 2: OLIVIA
I'm so worried about leaving Jenna home with Lolah. I mean, Lolah's a sweet girl don't get me wrong, but she's…a little wild. I mean, every time I see her, her hair is blonde and another random color of the rainbow. And she's getting a little mature for her age. Lolah is 17, going on 21. She's seeing older guys! Jenna was telling me about how Lolah and Jesse met 5 days ago at the 'Schools out fair'. And I'm worried that Jenna will think its okay to do just that. I like Joshua, Jenna's current boyfriend, so I hope they stay together. I think Lolah should find a guy and settle down too. She just hopes around like a frog to every lily possible. I just hope it's not with her new boyfriend Jesse. I heard he's 18! Like, going into collage 18! I just hope Jenna doesn't turn out like Lolah.
Pulling up to the parking lot, I pay the taxi driver, gather my thoughts, and go up to my office.
"good afternoon Liv," Eliot says.
Eliot is my partner in crime we've been working together for 11 years, and I hope many more. He's a sweet guy, and I enjoy working with him.
"How's Jenna?" john says, as he fallows Eliot into my Office. John likes Children. If I didn't adopt Jenna, he probably would. He will surely be the next Angelina Jolie.
"good, but she's home with Lolah. That worries me." I say as I unpack my suitcase filled to the brim with case files.
"I'd be worried too." Finn Says with a laugh. Finn is a co-worker of mine. He's nice, but I never see him out of work…maybe I should.
"alright, enough chit-chat. We have cases to solve. All of you; back to your units of command!"
That was Captain Cragan. He is the queen, er, king bee around here. I'm just a worker bee, but I don't mind.
I sit down at my desk and open up the case folder, the first thing I saw was the pictures of Jenna's parents, Richard & Elisa Raymond. I instantly shut the folder. Jenna's parents were both murdered, 12 years ago, when Jenna was three. She had been at the orphanage since until she was fourteen when I adopted her. Jenna thinks her parents left her there and were coming back for her soon. Hey, doesn't that remind you of the curly red head Annie? Poor Jenna! She still thinks that today because I never told her why she lived in the orphanage, and I hope she never finds out! All I want is for Jenna to except me as her new mom, but it's pretty hard.
"you alright?"
I look up to see Elliot sitting at the desk across from mine looking at me with worried blue eyes.
"I'm fine," I sigh as I open the folder again, take the Raymond case and shove it into my desk drawer.
