(Disclaimer in part one. This is the end of this little series. I wasn't able to put on paper exactly what was in my head. Hopefully I'll get better. Thanks for all the reviews and suggestions. They meant the world to me:)
Little Girl Lost 7
11:15 A. M.
Moore Estate
Alvin Moore burst into the sitting room. Olivia stood in front of Grace, who sat calmly drinking her tea, with her hand on her gun. No way was her father going to hurt her again not while she was alive. Elliot approached the hostile Senator with handcuffs. "Alvin Moore you are under arrest!" He spoke in an authoritative voice. He put the cuffs tightly around the mans wrists." For what?" Alvin asked incredulously. " For child molestation, aggravated child prostitution, and a whole list of other things." He looked back at Olivia. " Call Munch and Fin down here to haul in this piece of crap." She nodded and took out her cell phone to dial. "You have no proof!" Alvin growled. "Actually we do. One of the video tapes you made of her being raped came to our attention." No one had noticed Philip standing in the wings. He had been making lunch when Mr. Moore came in. heard what he was accused of and knew it was true. He stepped into the kitchen and retrieved a large knife from the wooden block. Slipping it carefully up his sleeve he entered the sitting room and approached his boss. The detectives weren't paying any attention to him. He had always been good at being invisible. Grace however, always watching saw the knife slip down from his sleeve and into his hand. She gave him one of her most beautiful smiles as he drove the knife into her father's heart. Everything that happened next took only a second. Alvin fell back instantly dead pinning Elliot to the ground with his body weight. Olivia pulling her gun shouting for Philip to put his hands in the air, As Elliot pushed the senator off him. Also pulling his gun and pointing it at Philip. Olivia handcuffed him and set him in a chair. She turned to see if Grace was alright. Grace though hadn't moved and she showed no signs of emotion she simply poured herself another cup of tea and began to drink.
Munch and Fin arrived as Olivia and Elliot were helping Grace into the back seat of their car." Hey, we heard on the radio that Daddy got whacked." Fin said as they approached. "Did she do it?" Indicating the girl. " No." was all Elliot would say as he got into the driver's seat. "Oh wait I know the butler did it. Right" Munch, said sarcastically. Olivia opened her door and got in looking back at him she smiled." Actually, he did." She closed the door and they headed back to the station. Munch and Fin looked back at the house as Philip was being led out." Well I'll be dammded. I was right." "First time for everything." Fin said with a smile.
4:35 P. M.
The Crib
Grace was sleeping on the same couch that Olivia and Elliot had occupied the night before. She had never spent much time out of the house and very few people came to see her. The difference between her home and the station house had been overwhelming and Olivia had brought her up stairs to rest. Her shoes were next to the couch and the scarf that hid the scars and bruises on her neck was on the coffee table. Olivia set a mug of hot cocoa down and gently touched Grace's arm to wake her. Her eyes opened and she sat up. Shivering a bit she pulled the blanket around her shoulders. Olivia put the warm mug in her hands." This should help." She said as she sat down beside her. "Do you feel up to talking?" Olivia asked trying to gauge if she needed to have George with her or not. " You want to know about the videos." She stated flatly. Olivia nodded. "I don't know which one you have, not that it matters. They're pretty much all the same. It started when I was about 4 or 5. Sometimes it was once a month, then maybe once a week, it was everyday for a while there off and on. Daddy would tape it and then blackmail the men that were in them. That's where all of the money has come from over the years. In the last 13 years or so He's made over 10 million dollars selling Me." she spoke with no emotion in her voice as if she was reading the back of a cereal box. Olivia's heart was breaking for her. How could anyone do this? Tears were threatening to fall. When Grace took her hand. " Please don't cry Olivia, It's not worth the tears." She said softly. " How can you think you're not worth it! Your smart, beautiful, talented, and worth crying for! You're worth fighting for too. I think Philip proved that today.!" She was taken aback. No one had ever told her things like this. Philip was the only person in her life up to this point that had been kind to her. " What's going to happen to Philip?" she asked suddenly. " He'll be charged with murder and most likely convicted." "I want to hire him the best lawyer." "We can do that." Olivia smiled but it soon faded when she noticed something. "Grace, when did the video taping stop? " Without the scarf around her neck Olivia could see old scars and new ones becoming visible. " 3 days ago." Olivia's jaw dropped. "My God, Grace! Who was it? If you have the video we can nail him!" Grace was shaking her head. " No." "If you give us the proof." Olivia pleaded " No." "Please Grace let us help you, let us do something for you!" "You want to do something for me. Destroy the tape you have and all evidence that it ever existed. Please, Olivia. I want to leave it behind me and I won't be able to do that if it gets out. I've already got a psycho label on me I don't need a victim one too." "I don't know if we can do that but I'll talk to my captain and the ADA about it." " Can I call that lawyer now for Philip?" "Sure." "Olivia, just out of curiosity where did you get that video?" "A young man named David brought it in to us. He was very concerned about you. I think he'd like to know that you're safe. He gave us a contact number." " Well I was hoping to take you all out to dinner as a thank you. Especially seeing as we missed lunch. Maybe he would like to join us." " I think he would."
2 weeks later
Special Victims Unit Squad Room
Grace walked in with presents in her hands, David on her arm and wearing a stunning smile. It surprised no one that they were together. From the first moment they met at the restaurant sparks flew. It was as close to love at first sight as one could get. The first thing out of his mouth when he saw her was "You are so beautiful!" She had blushed and kissed him on the cheek .The detectives thought they were going to have to call an ambulance to revive him, but they were totally smitten with each other. And over the next week he had taken her to see his mother and sister who immediately took her in as family. The detectives at SVU were kept up to date on all that was going on from Olivia. She and Grace had become like sisters. Talking on the phone almost every day. " Hey, everyone." They all stood to get them. The captain came out of his office at the sound of all the excitement. "I bring good news and presents." "You didn't have to bring us anything. I'm just glad to see you smile." Said Olivia giving her a hug. "Speak for yourself.," said Munch in his usual manner. "What did you bring me." He was acting like a kid at Christmas. " Sine I know how much you love a good conspiracy. For your eyes only." She handed him a plain unwrapped package. He opened it his eyes going wide. Inside was a tape labeled J.F.K. Dallas, Texas and dated the day he died. " No, way!" "Uncut and unedited and I better not see it on CNN or we'll both be floating in the Hudson. Don't Ask, Don't Tell." He smiled at her and locked the tape in his desk. Next she handed a bag to Fin. He pulled out black leather looking jacket, but it didn't feel quiet like leather. " It's new from Kevlar. Kind of like the vests but lighter and stronger especially near the heart. If you like it I'll have them make some up for the rest of you." He smiled and said thanks. He tried it on. Oh Yeah! Then she handed Cragen an envelope. In it was a lifetime membership to his golf club and a note from his favorite golf pro and a number to reach him by. Offering him lessons anytime he could get away. "This is.. Wow. Thank you." He said a little misty eyed. "You're welcome. Elliot this is for you." She handed him an envelope. Inside was a letter from his bank telling him of a 750,000-dollar deposit into his kid's college fund. "I can't take this. It's too much." Elliot stammered. "Please, I want to do this." He nodded still stunned. "Now for you Olivia I have a 2 part present. First I have started a special endowment for the SVU. Basically it will be available for helping the victims that come threw here. Weather they need. And I want you to be in charge." She looked at Olivia. Olivia's jaw dropped. "I have a lawyer to handle everything all you have to do is tell him how much money you want and when you want it. You'll have about 10 million in an interest bearing account available to you." "10 million that's the money your father…" Yes, and I can't think of a better way to use it. Can you?" She smiled. "And now for part 2." She handed Olivia a business card. " He used to be with Scotland Yard. He's the best there is. He can find out as little or as much information as you want." Referring to Olivia's father. " You can call him tomorrow or 5 years from now." Olivia grabbed her into a fierce hug. No words needed to be said. They both had finally found what they had been lacking, A sense of belonging and family.
