A/N Hey, I hope everyone had a good easter. I know that was a while ago but still all the same. Sorry if I took a little longer to post this up, I just got caught up in the holidays :)
Anyway thank you again to Stephanie1234 for reviewing. I appreciate it ^^. And now heres chapter twelve.
Chapter Twelve
Elliot opened the door and poked is head in. He saw Isabell fast asleep on one bed and on the next one he saw Olivia asleep as well.
He smiled to himself. It was coming up to 6am so Olivia had managed to have a couple hours sleep. He didn't want to wake her but Liv had told him if they had anything to tell her straight away.
Elliot walked over to the bed Olivia was sleeping in. "Liv" he whispered trying not to wake Isabell. "Olivia" He tired again. "Olivia" he said this time giving her a little shake. Olivia immediately sat up straight. She was about to start talking, but Elliot put his pointer finger to his lips. She looked over to Isabell and nodded. Olivia got out of the bed and they made their way out of the room.
"Hey sorry about that, oh my gosh how long did I sleep?"
"Its okay Liv, you needed to rest, and you only slept a few hours. I woke you because I think we might have something.
They walked over to the whiteboard in the squad room which had a map stuck to it.
"Now, we sort of figured out a timeline." Munch began. "Now Isabell was here at 4pm yesterday," Munch said pointing to a shop to where Isabell was found yesterday. "And we're thinking what happened with Cararh would've happened in late morning of yesterday. So we have a sort of rough estimate of what time things were happening. Isabell would've had at least four hours or so of running and wandering around. So we looked for 'some kind of forest' area. And the only place that could be is here." Munch finished pointing to another place on the map.
"So we've called the ranger's of the area. Now that its starting to get light the rangers are gonna start looking for the body." Fin said.
"Well you all better get down there and help look. I can imagine it won't be easy." The Captain said butting in. "I'll be here for when Isabell wakes up." Cragen said as he saw Olivia's expression. He knew she was going to ask about Isabell.
All the detectives grabbed their guns, badges and coats. (It was another cold morning.) And they headed out of the squad room to the cars.
Searching
Olivia glanced at her watch. It was now coming up to nine thirty. Search teams had been searching since around six am and still hadn't found anything.
When the detectives arrived, they all spilt up. Olivia was with Elliot and a park ranger.
"Anything?" Olivia yelled out to the ranger who was a little way from her. He shook his head.
They kept walking. Olivia was looking at the ground, trying to find any evidence that there had been people or car around.
"Hey hey hey…. I think I found something!" Elliot yelled out. Both Olivia and the ranger ran to where Elliot was. Elliot was bobbing down looking at something on the ground. Olivia bobbed down beside him.
"Tire tacks" she stated.
"I can't tell which way to go." The ranger said.
"We'll follow them one way and you can follow the other way. You have our numbers; call us if you find anything." Elliot said.
The ranger nodded and began to walk off in one direction. He began to speak into his walkie talkie, reporting the sight of tire tracks.
Olivia and Elliot began to jog, in the other direction following the tire tracks.
After five minutes or so, they noticed that this area began to open up a bit more. They figured they were coming close to the clearing that Isabell had described, so they drew their guns just in case.
They figured right, not long after they came to the clearing. They stood behind a few trees and peered around. When they saw the coast was clear they looked around. They noticed something on the ground a little way form them. Elliot and Olivia both could guess what it was. They walked up to it.
"It's defiantly Carrah and she's defiantly dead" Olivia said.
Carrah was exactly how Isabell described her. Olivia noticed that Carrah was in the clothes that she had seen her last in.
"She mustn't have made it home after I talked to her, so that means I was the last person to see her alive." Olivia said blankly. "Well lets call it in" she said as she grabbed her phone out of her pocket.
Squad Room
"Okay thanks bye" Elliot said as he was hanging up the phone. He looked over to Olivia who was opposite him sitting at her desk, while he was sitting at his.
"That was one of the park rangers," he began to say to her. "He said that CSU is has left and that Melinda has just finished and now is packing up to leave. Munch and Fin will…" He stopped. He looked at Olivia. She was staring blankly at the wall behind him.
"Olivia… Olivia!"
"Huh… what???"
"I guess you didn't hear what I was saying then?"
"No sorry El. I…"
"Hey," Elliot said rising from his chair. He walked over to her and leaned on her desk. "It's okay. But Olivia, you can't blame yourself for what happened to Carrah."
"But I can't help it Elliot. Maybe if I really pushed her to let us give her a lift home, or maybe I offered her protection or…"
"There was no way you could've known. I would've done the same thing. Her death was not…" Elliot stopped.
Olivia looked up at him. He was staring at something behind her. She immediately spun around on her swivel chair to where he was staring. Isabell stood there not to far away from them. Olivia was just with Isabell fifteen minutes ago; she had taken her to the children's room and found her some things to do. When Olivia left her, she was reading a book.
"Hey sweetie, is everything okay?" Olivia asked standing up and walking over to her.
"Can I talk to you please Olivia?"
"Yeah, sure, um… let's go up stairs and sit on the couch up there, okay?"
Isabell nodded.
Nothing was said until they reached the top of the stairs and sat down on the couch. Even then nothing was said for a little while until Olivia began, "So Isabell, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Well I want to ask you something… but I want a dead honest answer."
Olivia began to worry what Isabell was going to ask. "Okay, I'll try."
"What's gonna happen to me and my sisters, when there found? Where are we gonna live? I don't wanna go into foster care. They'll split us up then. I can't be split up from them. They're my family. They're all I've got."
Olivia was silent. She really didn't know how to answer that question. At the moment, if Danielle, Claire and Ashley were found the only option would be foster care, unless…
"Isabell truthfully I don't know, but I'm going to find out. How bout I take you back to that room and you can continue to read and I'll find out right now."
"Uhhh, okay then." Isabell said, sounding a little unsure.
Olivia and Isabell stood up and went down stairs.
Once Isabell was settled down again reading her book Olivia left her. She went over to her desk and began to look for something. Elliot eyed her curiously. She found a piece of paper and shoved it in her pocket.
"Hey Ell, got to go do something, I'll be back soon. Call me if you need to." And with that Olivia picked up her things and left.
Apartment of Sarah Bane
"Two twelve, two thirteen, here it is apartment two fourteen." Olivia said to herself. She pulled the piece a paper out of her pocket for the second time to make sure she was at the right place.
Olivia shoved the paper back into her pants pocket and stepped up to the door and knocked. No answer, she gave it another three loud knocks. Olivia was about to knock one last time when she heard movement inside, followed by "coming" in a man's deep voice.
Olivia was listening closely through the door. She could hear footsteps, a faint sound of a woman giggling and the man's deep voice saying something that Olivia couldn't make out. Eventually she heard someone unlocking the door.
The door opened to reveal tall, tanned man that was only wearing boxer shorts. "Can I help you," he said in his deep voice.
"Uh yes, I was just wondering if a Sarah Bane lived here."
"Oh yeah, who wants to know," the man said eyeing off Olivia.
Olivia pulled out her badge, "Police" she answered.
"Fine then, wait a sec" he turned around and went back into the apartment, leaving the door open a bit.
A minute later the door opened again to this time reveal Sarah Bane.
"Oh Detective, Hi, come in." Sarah said a little dazed.
Olivia walked into the apartment. "I hope I didn't interrupt anything."
"Oh no detective, not at all."
Olivia had the feeling that she had because Sarah hair was messy and she was wearing a black, silky dressing gown that went down to her knees. Olivia also suspected that Sarah didn't have much on underneath.
"Did you want a drink or something?" Sarah asked sounding a little uncomfortable. She walked to the kitchen and Olivia followed her.
"No thank you, I'm here to talk to you about the girls." Olivia said as she watched Sarah pour herself a glass of wine.
Sarah nodded and took a sip of her wine. "What about the girls?"
"Well as you know we've found Isabell, and we're hoping that we'll find Danielle, Claire and Ashley soon. So I was wondering…"
"You were wondering what? Detective!" Sarah interrupted Olivia.
"Well the girls have no other family that we know of, and if we can't find any the only other option is they go into foster care. I don't think that it would be a good idea for the girls to be split up."
"Well I'm not looking after them detective. When I made the deal with David all those years ago, he said I'd never have to do anything except give birth to them! I do not know how to look after children and I don't want to! I have my own life!!" Sarah yelled.
"Is everything okay in there baby?" the man's voice called out.
"Its fine, the police officer is just leaving." Sarah shouted back, then turning to Olivia glaring.
"Sarah what about Ashley, she's only three and…"
"What about Ashley?!" Sarah again interrupting Olivia, "How fucking dare you! I mean what the fuck! Don't you fucking dare do that!"
Olivia stared at Sarah confused at her new enraged outburst.
"DO NOT PUT A KID ON ME THAT'S NOT MINE!"
Now Olivia was even more confused. But before Olivia could ask, the man came running in the room hearing Sarah's voice get louder. He pushed past Olivia and went over to Sarah. He stood behind her and put his arms around her waist.
"What's going on in here" he said.
Sarah didn't say anything; she just took another sip of wine staring at Olivia.
"I think it's time you left mam" he said looking over to Olivia.
"Okay I'll leave but Sarah, I'm confused what do you mean Ashley isn't you child?"
"It means what it says." Sarah released from the grip by the man and began to make her way to Olivia.
Olivia got the clue and began to back away. Once out of the kitchen she turned and quickly walked to the door. Her hand rested on the door handle, she turned it and opened the door a crack before she turned around again. This time Sarah was standing in the door way of the kitchen leaning on the door frame, wine glass still in her hand and she was taking another sip.
"Just one more thing," Olivia said warily not wanting the situation to get out of hand.
"Mhm" was Sarah's reply.
"You said that you gave him four children, and Ashley makes it four."
"Well Ashley is not mine! And I did give him four children. Claire, Isabell, Danielle and Mia! Now get the fuck out of here!"
Olivia didn't hesitate another second. She could see the anger in Sarah's face. Olivia was out the door in a second and out of the apartment building in a minute and a half. Once she was safe in the car she began to think. 'If Ashley's not Sarah's then where did she come from? And where is Mia?'
