Muahaha….OMFG, is anyone else out there pissed off at Amanda? Like what is with these cliffhangers recently! I can't believe she went back to that prick Nate .
That has inspired a cliffhanger of my own…
Later at the Precinct…
"What the hell happened?" Casey Novak shouted at Nick as soon as she spotted him in the precinct. The redhead had reluctantly left Amanda asleep in bed after getting the phone call of Harper's suicide at almost midnight. Amanda had insisted that Casey go find out what was going on.
"Woah, Casey calm down." Nick said holding his hands up in defense.
"No, don't fucking tell me to calm down." Casey countered. "You have all of 3 minutes to explain how the hell you went from arresting Harper to carrying her out in a body bag. But first, you have to explain why the hell you were arresting her in the first fucking place."
"She it up, Casey. She set it all up. I'm sorry." Fin explained with a sad look etched upon his face.
"W-what. No. She wouldn't have. She didn't." Casey shook her head.
"She did. Sanders was her step dad. We have to reason to believe that he raped her as a child, but we can't be sure." Fin added.
"S-she told me her dad was an asshole. But she never talked about her family." Casey covered her mouth with her hand as the first tear rolled down her face. She couldn't believe it. This was not happening. This was not happening.
"You raped your own stepdaughter when she was a kid and then had someone else come back and finish the job. That's sick." Nick snarled to Jason Sanders as he slammed down two photos. One of Harper recently and one of her as a child.
Jason looked at each photo, taking his time. "This is quite an interesting story you're telling. But they're just…stories."
"It's facts. We have records of you marrying her mother. We have records of the numerous domestic dispute calls to your house. We have Harper's medical records from when she was a kid." Fin added on quickly. He had stayed out of the interrogation up until this point. Mainly because his mind was still trying to figure out how Clarity's children could be Casey's. Although no one had told the redhead yet, they had a feeling it wouldn't be pretty when they did.
"The sooner you give yourself up, the more the likelihood of you not getting a needle increases.
Jason took a moment of thought. "Fine. So what if I did?"
"You'll serve life in prison. You're originally from Boston, right?" Nick said.
"Yeah and?"
"They freeze the Statue of limitations there the second a victim leaves the state. Harper was 14 when she left Boston. Meaning you'll be charged both here and in Boston. Have fun rotting in a cell." Fin concluded as he and Nick began to exit the room.
"Wait." Sanders said trying to bring the detectives attention. "I believe I have some information of value to you."
Nick scoffed. Was this guy really trying to play make a deal? "Yeah and?"
"I give you what you need, I get what I want." The older man answered.
"And what would that be?" Fin asked.
"Harper didn't set it up. But I know who did."
London, England; 7:31 am (There is a 5 hour time difference from New York to England)
Lillian Maddox walked inside Amber Hartfield General Hospital. Any other day, and she would have been glad to finally see London. Any other day, she would've killed to have a thousand dollars to blow at some of London's finest shops. Any other day, she would've been with her mother and sister. Any other day, she wouldn't be covered in Allie's blood.
Today was not one of those days.
"Young lady, are you hurt?" The young redhead heard a voice ask. When Lily looked up, her green eyes met with concerned brown ones. Nurse Jennifer was eying Lily's bloody white baseball style sweater. Only a few parts of the hem had managed to get covered in Alison's blood, sadly. But in Lily's mid, that would be dealt with later.
"No, but may I use your phone?" Lillian said in her most innocent and sweetest voice she could find. What she wanted to do was scream at the nurse; begging her to help her. But that wouldn't get her very far.
A look of uncertainty crossed the brown-eyed nurse's face, but she hesitantly handed Lily the hospital reception landline.
Come on. Answer the phone.
Once Olivia had arrived at Grace and Melinda's shared apartment, the first thing she saw was Grace and two older Asians one male one female arguing with the young woman. Even though they were talking quite softly—and not in English. Melinda stood a reasonable distance away, supposedly watching.
"Melinda?" Olivia bypassed the remaining CSU techs and paramedics and touched the ME's shoulder.
Surprised by the sudden contact, Melinda jumped slightly. Seeing Olivia's face grow with concern, Melinda started talking. "I'm fine Olivia. I'm just a little shaken up."
"What happened?" Olivia shouldn't even be here. Melinda lived in Brooklyn, out of her jurisdiction.
"CSU says he got in through the fire escape. Grace went to take a phone call and h-he put me against the counter. He was unzipping his pants. I went into panic mode; I thought he was going to rape me, Olivia." Melinda sighed. She realized how bad the situation could've been. She could've been dead right now.
Olivia opened her mother to say something else, but stopped when she noticed Melinda's brown eyes elsewhere.
"You call us if anything is wrong, Gracelynn." Zoey Aki warned her eldest daughter as she and her husband headed for the door.
"Yes, mother. I assure you, I will call if anything is wrong." Gracelynn answered.
"We are you and Melinda staying?" Justin Aki asked this time.
Grace raised an eyebrow at her parents. "Here of course." The three continued their conversation outside in the hallway as Grace walked her parents out.
"Her parents must be a head case." Olivia commented.
"No. They just don't fully approve of me yet…" Melinda answered a little awkwardly.
"Yet? You two have been dating for almost a year?" Olivia said.
"They want Gracelynn to be perfect. That's all."
"Yeah right." Olivia scoffed. Melinda was preparing an answer that would defeat what Olivia was hinting at, but the brunette's phone rang. (No surprise there)
"Hello?" Olivia said into the phone.
"Hello, Detective Benson." A child's voice rung through Olivia's ear.
"Who is this?" Olivia asked. Normally, she would've been scared to receive a phone call from a stranger.
"My name is Lily. I am 12 years old. You don't know me, yet. But we've already met. I need two things from you."
"Lily, are you in trouble?"
"No."
"What do you need? Where are you? I'm sure we can get you here."
"I need two planes from Gatwick Airport to MHK. I also need to speak with my mother."
"Okay, Lily. And who would that be?"
"Cassandra Novak."
Don't hate me. I couldn't help but leave that cliffhanger :) A new chapter for Awoken will be up soon!
So what will happen next? Will Casey want to talk to her apparent daughter? What information does Sanders have? Why is Lily and Allie in England? How does Amanda feel about all of this? Who caused all this trouble?
Leave what you think will happen next in the reviews :)
