Matt and I walked hand in hand towards the warehouse behind voight. I was shaking so badly, and Matt could feel it because he squeezed my hand tighter. It was a little comforting, but not much compared to my internal screaming. Voight pulled opened the door and we went inside. The smell. The smell alone was enough to bring back memories. Voight was talking to me, but I wasn't listening, I was staring straight ahead as it all washed back over me.

My body was stinging from the slaps from the belt. Someone was kissing my head and touching me in all the wrong places. 'You're gonna be a real good one'. My clothes were torn off and I was left completely naked and vulnerable, lying stretched out and tied up on the mattress. They wasted no time in pushing into me. A white hot searing pain courses through my body and I screamed. The body slammed into me and I felt something tear I cried for hours after that, waiting for the pain to stop. It never did.

I felt the sudden urge to throw up and I did not hesitate in doing so, turning around and releasing the little content in my stomach. Someone behind me pulled my hair out of the way and I flinched. When I finished, I turned back around and saw Matt. 'You ok?' I shook my head.

'Let's get this over with'.

'Alright,' voight spoke up. 'All you have to do is tell me what happened in some of these rooms.

I nodded and pointed to a door ahead. 'That's where they stayed and I assume kept the drugs,' door to the right, 'my room', door to the left, 'that's where I went when I was bad. Is that enough?'

'Yep' Voight said. 'Let's go'.

We started heading out, me behind them. I heard a small squeak. To them it may have seemed like just the old building, however, I had heard that squeak many times before. I grabbed Matt's arm and mouthed, 'their here'. He picked me up and ran to catch up to voight.

'Voight we got a problem' he turned and looked at me. 'We've got at least one offender inside.'

'How do you know?' They both looked at me.

'I heard them' I said

'Talking?'

'No, the floor creaked.'

'This is an only building. It is bound to-'

I cut him off. 'This building has 6 different squeeks. This was theirs.'

'Alright, take her back to the fire house, I'll get Jay to pick her up later'. Matt nodded and grabbed his radio. 'You guys done yet,' he spoke into it.

'Yeah Captain' someone answered. 'Just packing up'.

'Copy'. Intelligence raced towards the warehouse, Jay stopping to tell me he would get me later. I nodded and waved. We got back to the truck just as the team breached the warehouse. 'Hermann, it's your lucky day, you get my seat.' One of the older men climbed over to the front seat and Matt lifted me into the back before climbing in next to me. 'Guys you remember Ava, jays sister. She came to the firehouse the other day.' They all nodded. 'She's coming with us until Jay picks her up.' The guy in the front started up the truck and they started driving. Within 20 or so minutes I was lying on Matt's lap, sleeping.

MATTS POV:

We had almost gotten back to the firehouse when I felt Ava go limp against me. I put my arm around her so she would roll off when we stopped. I was really happy she could sleep. I didn't think she had slept much the last few nights. I felt bad for this kid, she had been through so much at such a young age and she had been so brave tough all of it. I'm glad she was able to trust me and I really hoped I could help her.

Seen enough we pulled up at the fire house, and despite the jerk of the truck and the screeching tires as we stopped, Ava didn't wake up. This was going to be difficult.

'Otis can you pass her down to me once I get out.'

'Got it Captain'. I jumped down and waited for Otis to pass her down. 'If you drop her, I will drop you. Is that clear? I threatened. Otis gulped and nodded. Once I had hold of her again I lead her back into the firehouse. I decided to straight to my office, set her up on my bunk and then I'd go get some food. As carefully as I could, I placed her down and covered her with the blanket. She still didn't move. I smirked. She was about as deep a sleeper as Jay. I went out of the office and left the office slightly ajar so I would be able to hear her if she woke up. Heading towards the common room, i could smell lunch. Possibly Chicken Parmesan. Everyone was already eating when I arrived so I went straight to the kitchen and filled up a plate and take away container. I put the container in the fridge. 'Do not touch this. It is not yours.' I said to the guys, and I left before they could ask any questions. She was still asleep when I got back but she looked more pale and sweaty, however she was hugging the blanket like she was cold. As much as i hated too, I knew I needed to wake her up. I grabbed the bin from under my desk just in case, which was lucky because as soon as I shook her she rolled over and threw up right where he had placed the bin. When she was done she laid back down and shut her eyes again.

'Can one of my friends come and take a look at you. She's one of our paramedics.'

'I just want to sleep.' She tried to roll over the other way but cried out in pain.

'Can you tell me what hurts,'

'Side...' she threw up again. I went to the door, called out for Brett, and came back. 'Ok my friend Sylvie is going to come in and take a look ok.'
