CHAPTER 21
Elliot looked at Olivia. Her world had just been turned upside down...again. Olivia continued to stare at Ryan. Her mind could not process the news that she just heard.
"Are you telling me that I was raped by me brother?" Olivia's voice was disgusted. She was panicked, flushed when she turned to Elliot.
"El, is that what he's saying? Did I hear it?" If Olivia had any hope for a future, Elliot thought he saw it flee from her eyes in that moment.
"Olivia, you look nothing like your mother...everything like your father. Since he's a twin, it's reasonable to think your mother was scared to raise a son that looked like the man who raped her." Elliot hoped that logic could sooth her. He hated to see her hurt and he knew that right now her guts were being ripped out.
"My wife," Ryan spoke up again "She did most of the leg work in tracking the bastard down Olivia."
"Wait, wait." Olivia was trying to make since of what was happening. "Are you trying to tell me that you know who he is?" Olivia's eyes pierced Ryan's eyes. For the first time he saw the pain that seeped through her eyes.
"Well apparently our boy did time in Sing Sing for breaking and entering, he beat the hell out of the home owner, leaving his DNA." Ryan reached for Olivia's hand. "The profiles from that case and your rape...match. Olivia, he's your perp." He released her hand and sat back in his seat, signaling for the waitress to bring more coffee. As the waitress filled the coffee cups the conversation continued.
"Olivia, we pulled his parole file." He said lidding it over to her side of the table. Olivia stared wide-eyed at the file. "Everything you need is right there Olivia, name, address...photo." Ryan's voice was empathetic to Olivia's situation. Elliot noticed that he started to change from the hot shot kid scientist to someone who generally cared about capturing Olivia's perpetrator.
Olivia opened the file taking in a deep breath and forcing herself to release the photo from the paper clip. She stared at the man's void existence in the picture. "El?" Olivia slowly turned toward Elliot, keeping her eyes on the photo in her hands. "Does he look familiar to you? she asked showing him the photo.
"Liv, sweetheart, he's your twin, he's gonna bare a resemblance to you..." Elliot's voice was soft
"No, that's not what I mean, Ive seen this guy before, I know him from somewhere." She said looking at the ceiling trying to mentally recall any location they met. "He should look familiar to you Olivia." Ryan's voice was tense as he continued, "He lives five doors to the right of your apartment."
