The day was a blur for Olivia. Casework, speaking with victims at the hospital, and with other victims at the precinct. She'd hardly glanced at the clock until a video call came through
"Hi Noah" she smiled
"Lucy picked me up from school" he prattled on, "Jeremy said I could sleep over tonight, but Lucy said I had to ask you first"
"Oh, you and Jeremy are friends again?"
"Yeah, can I go, huh? Can I?" he asked
"Sure, of course" Olivia glanced at the calendar; it was Friday. "Just have his Mom or Dad get in touch with me later"
"Ok! I got to go pack my pajamas and Eddie!"
"Sure, my sweet boy." Olivia smiled, "how did Jeremy and you patch things up?"
"I told him I had a Daddy after all"
"You did?" Olivia internally hoped that Noah had mentioned heaven
"Yeah, I told him that that Elliot man was my Daddy" and then he hung up
Olivia stared at the black screen and shuddered. She was horrified for two reasons
One, Noah was telling his classmates that Elliot was his father
Two, the news would certainly end up coming back to Elliot.
She had to do something about that.
