"Did they not check the cellar?!" Olivia cried, trying not to lose her temper with Amanda.
"They did Liv, but they'd cleared it out. It was empty." Amanda replied.
"Fuck!"
Olivia started pacing around the squad room, knowing they were probably coming after Emmy.
"Do they know she's in New York?" She looked at Amanda and Nick and hoped the answer would be no. She was terrified. This little girl meant more to her than anything in the world and she couldn't bear to think of her being hurt again. She would do anything to protect her even if it meant she took the hurt instead.
"I'm sorry Liv. They told them, they thought they would have enough evidence to keep them." Amanda said with fear in her eyes.
"Stupid. Fucking stupid idiots." Olivia slammed her fists on the table. "She's been through enough!"
"We'll bring both of you into protective custody Liv. We will catch them." Nick said.
"It's not fair. Emmy should be in a home not in a fucking police station."
"What about if we station an officer outside your home. You have a gun, I know you'll do anything to protect her."
Olivia sighed and admitted defeat, she would do anything to protect this little girl, anything.
"I'm taking her home." Olivia decided. "Call me if you have any information."
Olivia arrived home with Emmy, she'd fallen asleep in the back of the car so Olivia carried her in. Her little legs wrapped around Olivia's waist. Olivia got in and lay Emmy down on the sofa then locked her door, triple checking that it was definitely locked. Olivia sat down next to the sleeping girl and started stroking her hair. Emmy stirred and she stretched her arms as she was sitting up.
"Hey sweetie." Olivia said.
No reply.
"Emmy?" Olivia scrunched her face up in confusion, wondering why she wasn't answering. Olivia got up and knelt down so she could see Emmy's face. Her eyes were glazed over and she looked like she was in some sort of trance.
"Emmy?" Olivia shook her gently.
"Don't touch me." Emmy said, her voice angry.
"Sweetie."
Emmy stood up and walked straight past Olivia and went into the bathroom.
Olivia stayed on the floor, confused. What on earth was wrong with Emmy. She wasn't herself, not her usual sweet, perky self. It was like she was a different child.
15 minutes past, and Olivia started to get worried. Emmy had been in the bathroom all this time. What the hell was up with her?
Olivia got up and knocked on the bathroom door. There was no reply.
"Emmy, are you okay?" Olivia tried the door handle but it was locked.
"Emmy, open the door." Olivia started banging on the door, but there was no answer from inside. Then an almighty scream came from inside the door. Olivia didn't even think twice, and started throwing her body into the door. It took her 4 hits to break it down. Olivia gasped when she saw what lay inside.
