JJ's Interrogation Room

"Ok, JJ, I want you to know that you set the pace for this conversation. Ok? We can however slow or fast that you want."

"Ok." JJ sits down on the couch and pulls over a box of crayons and a piece of paper. "Is Madeleine really gonna hurt me?"

"No. No, she's not because I won't let her. And if she tries too, you tell me or your Mommy and Daddy.

"Ok, now, I need to know what about when Jacob came over. Did Madeleine call him before or after your Mom and Dad left?"

"After. Right after they left I asked if she wanted to watch The Little Mermaid and she said no."

"Then what did you do?"

"She said no and that I could watch it upstairs so I asked if I could play outside. 'Cause I got some chalk. Before I walked outside, I saw her pick the phone."

"Did you ask who she was calling?" James writes down the last few answers before asking that question.

"No, I didn't. I'm sorry."

"No, no, it's okay. So what did you do after she picked the phone up?"

"I went outside and played hopscotch." JJ smiles up at James. "I like playing hopscotch."

"I know." James smiles back. "So does Emily."

Interrogation Room w/Madeleine.

"Just tell the police officer where Jacob would go, Madeleine. You're already in enough trouble."

"Fine." Madeleine sighs, crossing her arms.

"Ok, Miss Jareau, I need you to start from this morning. What did you do when you arrived at your Aunt and Uncle's house?"

"I walked inside. I heard my Aunt Sandy tell the little brat that my mom and dad made me promise not to push her down anymore."

"And after that?" Officer Ramsey asks.

"After that they left. She asked if I watched to watch some stupid Princess movie."

"And what did you say?"

"I said no. I said she could watch it upstairs and to just stay out of my way."

"Oh, Madeleine. Why? That little girl looks up to you. She loved you. At least she did. Why did you do this?" Amber asks.

"Oh, please. I already live with two little babies twenty-four seven. Excuse me if I didn't want to spend my day with another one."

"Alright, let's get back on track here please. What happened after you told her no to the movie?"

Back w/JJ

"So you went outside and then what? Was that when Jacob arrived?"

"Yeah. I didn't know who he was so I went inside after him."

"Ok, and what happened back inside the house?"

"We went to the kitchen. I asked Maddie who he was."

"And what did she say?"

"She said this is my boyfriend Jake. And then she said if 'Jake, this is JJ. I have to babysit the little brat.' I told her that I was gonna tell Aunt Amber on her for calling me a mean name."

"And after you said that? What happened?"

"I asked for some lunch. She made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Then she said she had to go upstairs and asked him to watch me."

"Ok, JJ, were you alone with him after Maddie left the kitchen?"

"Yes."

"Ok, and did he try to touch you at all when you were alone?"

"N-no." JJ replies, her voice breaking.

"Ok, ok. You're doing really good. Do you want to take a break for a few minutes?" James lays the notepad down.

"Can I see Emmy and my mommy?"

"Yes. How about we go get some water and a snack and then you can see Emmy and your mommy. Ok?"

JJ nods and stands up.

"All right. Let's go." The two walk outside and see Emily with JJ's parents.

With Madeleine in the Interrogation Room

"She asked if she could go outside. I said yes. Figured that would get her out of my hair for a while."

"Then what did you do?"

Madeliene shrugs. "Nothing. Went to the living room and watched some TV."

"Really. So you didn't call your boyfriend? Invite him over?"

"Madeleine, I swear if you're lying. Then you will be in even more trouble than you are now." Amber threatens.

"Fine. So I did. So what?"

"So, then what? You invited him over so you two could get drunk together?"

"It's not like to asked him to bring the alcohol." Madeleine smiles. "He just did. Not that I was complaining."

Back outside with JJ and the others

James opens the door and let's JJ exit. She immediately runs over to emily who is a few steps away.

"Emmy!"

"Hey, baby. You were doing so good. I'm really proud of you. Come here." Emily wraps her arms around JJ. Sandy stood off to the side.

"Hey, Jen." Emily whispers. "Why don't you give your Mommy a hug too. Ok."

JJ turns to her mom. "Mommy!"

"Oh, baby. Come here."

"JJ. Here's your snack." James hands her a bottle of water and some chips.

"How much longer until we can take her home?" Sandy asks.

"Well, I still have a few more questions for JJ. But after that she'll be free to leave."

"No. I don't wanna go to my room. I wanna go with Uncle J."

"Baby, you need to come home. Be with me and Daddy, ok."

"No! I don't want to go home! I want to go with Emily and Uncle J." JJ jumps out of Sandy's lap and walks across the room.

"Jen, hey. Calm down, ok? Tell me why you don't want to go home. Is it because of what the bad man did to you?"

"Yes! Don't make me go Emmy!"

"Ok. No one is going make you do anything you don't want to. Ok?" Emily whispers to the frightened little girl.

"I don't wanna go home, Momma. Don't make me. Please." JJ cries.

"Baby, you don't have to. Ok? I'm not making you go anywhere you don't want. Where do you want to go tonight?"

"With Uncle J and Emmy."

"Ok. Is that ok with you James?" Sandy asks.

"Yes, yes. Of course." He turns to the little girl who is wrapped in Emily's arms. "JJ, honey, are you ready to go back in?"

"Yeah. Are we almost done though?" The little girl sniffles.

"Yes. Just a few more questions ok."

"Ok." James leads the little girl back into the room and they go back to the couch.

Back inside w/Madeleine

"What happened after you found out he brought the alcohol?"

"Well, I had went upstairs. Asked him to watch the little brat while I was gone."

"And then what did you do?"

"I went upstairs, went to the bathroom, and then came back to the kitchen." Madeleine replies.

"What did you do then?"

"I saw he had the bottle of alcohol. And I…I told him to…to give me the…bottle." Beside Madeleine her mom sighs. She wonders where she went wrong with her daughter. She and Jack had always taught their children to say no to alcohol and drugs.

"Did he hand you the bottle?"

"Nope." Madeleine replies but doesn't elaborate.

"No? So how did you get the bottle of alcohol?"

"I took it from him. He said we needed to invite people over and so I told JJ to go upstairs so she would be out of my way."

"And then what did you do?"

"Well, she went upstairs and Jake and I called some of our friends. They came over and hung out."

"Ok, and at any time during this…little hang out, did you notice Jacob leave and go upstairs?"

With JJ and James

"Ok, so, after Maddie came back downstairs what did you do?"

"She told me to upstairs and watch TV."

"Did you go upstairs?"

"Y-yes."

"And what did you do upstairs?"

"I watched some TV. Then I got bored and decided to look out the window."

"And what did you see?"

"It was cloudy outside so I put my boots and raincoat on so I could play in the puddles."

"Then what happened, JJ?"

"J-Jacob came into m-my room."

"Ok, JJ, you're doing so good. Just a few more questions and then we'll be done. Ok?"

"O-ok."

"Ok, when he came into the room, did he say anything?"

"I asked him what he wanted and he s-said he w-wanted m-me." The little girl has tears streaming down her face now.

"And what did he do after that?"

"H-he c-came over to m-my bed and made m-me l-lay down."

"Then what did he do?"

"He p-pushed me on-onto the b-bed and p-ut his m-mouth on mine. I kicked him and tried t-to run."

"And what happened after that?"

"After I tried to run, he grabbed and h-hit m-me. Then h-he s-stuck his h-hand in m-my pants and t-told me to tell h-him that I l-liked i-it. But I didn't! I didn't tell him that!"

"Ok, ok. I know you didn't. JJ did he say anything else? Any thing at all that you can remember."

"He s-said to lay down be h-his good l-little g-gr-grasshopper. And that he said that he would k-kill my mommy and daddy if I t-told them what happened."

"Just one last thing. I'm going to show you some pictures and I need you to point out the man that hurt you. Ok?"

"Ok."

"All right." He makes a 'come in' gesture and a cop walked in with a folder.

"Thank you, officer." The officer nods and leaves the room.

"Alright, here we go." James lays out five different pictures, all around th same age and all with the same description.

JJ points to the third picture. Jacob's picture. "Him. That's the man that hurt me."

"Ok. You did really good JJ. We're done. You can outside and see Emily and your parents if you want to."

"It's over?"

"It is. We're all done."

With Madeleine

"No, I didn't. He stayed with me the whole time."

"Are you sure? Are you sure you weren't intoxicated and he could have slipped away without you knowing it?"

Madeleine shrugs. "I suppose he could have."

"All right, that's all for now. We'll be in contact if we have anymore questions."

Back with JJ

"Sandy, Michael, we're through here. If you would like, you can drop JJ off at my house. Lynn can help Emily watch her."

"Ok, thank you." Sandy leads JJ out of the precinct and to the car.

There it is. I'll skip ahead in the next chapter and then wrap up the '92 with a couple more.

Review please! Tell me what you think. I, obviously, don't know a lot about how an interview with a kid would go when its about something like this. Any and all knowledge I got from watching Law & Order SVU.
