Chapter 3

Scarlett's Point of View

I had an amazing time out with Erin. She took me to see everything there was in Chicago. It was a lovely place and I could see why everyone who had been before loved it. When the time came to head back to the hotel I felt myself wanting to stay.

"You've got very quiet." Erin commented as we got back into her car.

"Just tired." I lied.

"You will be glad to get back to New York then. At least you can go out with your friends and do your own thing." Erin smiled.

I nodded in response.

"I don't get out that often. Mom always thinks something bad will happen if I stay out too late." I sighed.

"Kid having a mom who even thinks about those possibilities is something special. My mom couldn't care less what I done when I was your age. I literally did what I wanted and when I wanted. Trust me it isn't a good thing to have such freedom." Erin told me.

I got the impression she was going to say something else but ended her sentence short, much to my dissatisfaction.

"Mom is just overprotective. I think it is because I'm adopted." I said, trying to get Erin to open up more.

I thought if I mentioned the fact I was adopted Erin might tell me if she had a kid. That way I would know if it was a possibility.

"Well in that case you are lucky. Your mom seems amazing. She is a really good cop and someone to look up to." Erin smiled.

"I'm sure you would be equally as good. I mean I can already tell you a great cop." I replied.

Erin fell silent for a moment before finally replying.

"I'm not so sure I would be a good mom…" She trailed off.

For the briefest moment I swear I saw a tear in her eye but it was gone as quick as it appeared.

"Ok here we are back at the hotel." Erin announced 5 minutes later. I hadn't even realised we travelled that far.


Getting out of the car we noticed mom and Voight walking towards the hotel.

"Have fun?" Mum asked as they approached us.

"Yeah we had a great time. Erin said we have to come back when it is warmer." I replied.

"Hopefully it isn't for a case!" Mom laughed.

Voight was very quiet and I could see him looking between Erin and myself. It made me wonder if he was thinking the same as me. Did he know something about Erin?

"So what did you two get up to?" Erin asked.

"We just went to lunch, walked around a bit nothing special." Mom replied but I knew she was lying.

The way she looked at the ground and didn't make eye contact was a dead give away. I'm not even a cop and I knew she was lying. Erin on the other hand just nodded in response.

"Ok well you two better get going. Don't want to miss your flight." Voight stated.

Mom nodded agreement and said a quick goodbye to Erin before sneaking off for a final word with Voight.

"What's up with those two?" I whispered to Erin.

"Who knows?" She shrugged in response but it was clear she was curious to.

I was just realising Erin from a quick hug when mom came back. She said another quick goodbye to Erin and after that we left.


"Why did you lie before? About what you and Voight were doing." I questioned on the cab ride to the airport.

Mom looked up clearly shocked by the question.

"I didn't lie." She lied again.

"Mom come on I know you are lying. It is written all over your face!" I cried.

"Scarlett I don't know what you are talking about." Mom sighed.

Annoyed by her constant lies I fell silent. We didn't speak again until we landed in New York and even then it was brief.


Erin's Point of View

After Olivia and Scarlett left Voight asked me if I wanted to come to his place for dinner. Wanting to know more about his outing with Olivia I agreed.

"So what did you and Olivia really do today?" I smirked as he served dinner.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He laughed.

"Oh come on Hank we both know it wasn't about work. So what was it? A date?" I joked.

"No it wasn't a date…." He scoffed.

I arched my eyebrows and waited for him to say more.

"Erin it wasn't a date we just had something to do…." Voight trailed off.

"Like what? You only met." I remarked.

Voight sighed in annoyance he knew I wasn't going to give up.

"Erin it…Well it was….It was about you kid." He finally said.

This caught me off guard I wasn't expecting it to be about me. I wanted it to be a date because Olivia would be perfect for him!

"Me?" I asked confused.

"Yeah kid." He said almost apologetically.

"What about me?" I pressed.

Voight sat down next to me and took my hand in his. As soon as he did this I knew it was serious.

"Tell me!" I insisted.

"Remember when you moved in with me and you told me about where you had been before?" Voight asked.

"Hank what has this got to do with anything?" I questioned.

"You said you were in New York?" He said answering his own question.

"I was in New York." I replied.

"Erin I know." Voight stated suddenly.

"Know what?" I asked, shifting uncomfortably in my chair.

"I know you had a baby and I know you left your daughter in a New York hospital." Voight told me.

"I-I-I-I never t-t-told you that." I stuttered.

"Kid you know I have connections." Voight said.

"I'm s-s-sorry but what is this about? W-W-Why was Olivia involved? Is it an unsolved case? Did something happen…." I began before realising what he was trying to say.

Scarlett, Scarlett said she was adopted.

"S-S-Scarlett?" I gasped as tears formed in my eyes.

Voight nodded.

"We think she is your daughter. We don't know for sure." Voight told me.

"So that's where you went? To find out?" I asked.

"We got your DNA and Scarlett's. We took them to get tested and we should know in a few days." Voight confirmed.

"I need a drink." I mumbled to myself.

Hope you enjoyed, please let me know your thoughts I love hearing them all! :-)
