aryll-link: Thank you to all that has reviewed so far I really appreciate it! In the second chapter, Olivia and Elliot interrogated her at the station, and then they let her go. They then went to her apartment and found her beaten up. She then went to the hospital. They were all the same girl is what I am trying to say I guess...
Note: ok I am calling Lovisa Phoenix from now on and I am calling the dead guy Sharkfin till I find a name for him :P.

"Children!?" Olivia exclaimed.
"Here chuck this on." Rednut threw Lovisa some spare clothes and she sped into the bathroom.
"Children!?" Olivia rounded on Rednut.
"Hey lady, don't look at me like that!" Rednut cried, throwing his hands in the air.
"Ok let's go." Lovisa reappeared into the room.
"Hey..." Elliot began, but was cut off by Lovisa.
"Ask questions when we get there." Lovisa snapped. "And refer to me from now on as Phoenix."
----------
"What are we doing back in your apartment?" Olivia asked as they walked up the stairs.
"I need to collect a few stuff before I go." Phoenix unlocked the door and they all went inside.
Phoenix and Rednut ran ahead while Olivia and Elliot dawdled behind.
"I still don't get any of this." Olivia frowned. "God we don't know our victims name yet! All we have is his nickname Sharfin."
Elliot was about to answer when he stepped on a loose floorboard and it swung up and smacked him in the face.
Olivia chuckled a little as she watched him back away, cursing.
"Hey look, there is a box underneath that." Olivia knelt down to pick it up.
"What's in it?" Elliot joined Olivia, rubbing his head.
"A video tape, a necklace, a book and a photo." Olivia showed Elliot.
"Isn't that our victim, Lovisa and Rednut with two other boys?" Elliot asked, astounded.
"It sure is." Phoenix snapped from behind them and snatched the photo off Elliot. "Keep the rest I don't want it."
----------
The dark alleyway was creepy, and the block was renowned for the dangerous drug dealers and thieves.
"Ok you have children?" Olivia asked.
"What is the problem with that?" Phoenix said. "You make it sound like it is a crime."
"Phoenix!" a young girl yelled joyfully. She ran up and hugged the older girl.
"Hey Teddy! You remember Uncle Rednut?" Phoenix smiled.
"Uncle Red!" Teddy hugged the boy as well.
"Phoenix who are these people?" Teddy pointed at Olivia and Elliot.
Phoenix knelt down so she was the same height as the young girl. "They are coppers honey. They are helping me find Sharkfin."
"Have you got any clues yet?" Teddy said.
"Not yet sweetheart, here take this bag and take it to Vee Dog." Phoenix gave Teddy a bag and watched the girl walk away with Rednut.
"So who is the father?" Olivia asked.
"I don't know who Teddy's biological parents are." Phoenix confessed. "We found her wondering the streets one night."
"So you just thought it was great to take her." Elliot frowned.
"No, she followed me." Phoenix snapped. "Don't you lot have a love life where your family is waiting for you to come home? She added harshly.
"I'm recently divorced." Elliot mumbled.
"No boyfriend waiting for me." Olivia said.
Phoenix gave the two a weird stare before the spoke. "Well maybe you better go find a love life."
"What are you suggesting?" Elliot scowled.
"Leave me alone. I'll be here if you want to ask me any more annoying questions." Phoenix turned her back on the two and walked away, whistling a tune.
----------
"Ok so we know the kids nickname was Sharkfin, and Rednut and Phoenix know who he was." Olivia frowned.
"But there are a lot of missing pieces of the puzzle." Elliot finished for her. "Play the tape and see if that gets us anywhere."
As Olivia get the tape ready, Elliot couldn't help but notice how adorable Olivia looked. He was surprised he never noticed this before. He felt the mad urge to play with her silky hair, or just to feel her soft skin under his fingers....
"STABLER!"
Elliot jumped like he had an electric shock. Olivia was looking at him weirdly. "Are you feeling ok there?"
He muttered "Yea" before focusing on the tape, mentally hitting himself for letting his guard drop.
A bunk bed in what looked to the detectives as a cell came up on the camera. A hand appeared and gently nudged the person sleeping on the top.
"Wake up you lazy dog." A voice laughed.
Phoenix appeared from under the covers glaring hell at the cameraman. "Go away." she mumbled, throwing a pillow at the camera.
The tape then swung around and 'Sharkfin' was standing there. "You are an idiot Darkness." He said, rolling his eyes.
"Oi what is all the fuss at this time of the morning?" A blonde haired boy snapped from a lower bunk.
"Doesn't anyone get any sleep around here?" Rednut yawned as he walked past.
The scene changed, and a man was talking to the camera, his face was masked. Behind him Phoenix was making funny faces, later joined by other boys.
Soon a song started playing as small clips came up.
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Sharkfin was going through what looked like a training routine for men in the army.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore
Phoenix appeared, sitting down on the remains of a chair. A screen was behind her, showing images of young children being abused, one of those children was her.
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
A guy came running out of a room, followed by a chair and an angry Phoenix, shouting curses as she ran after the boy.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Sharkfin came behind Phoenix, wrapping his arms around her. She leaned into his touch, a single tear sliding down her face. He whispered something in her ear before walking away.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore
Sharkfin was surrounded by a group of boys including the masked man. Phoenix walked up to him.She whispered in his ear as she pulled something hanging off his belt and walked back to the edge of the circle. "Hurry up you pathetic bitch." The masked man snapped. "Stop dawdling."
Suddenly the boy fell and everyone left except for Phoenix. She walked up to the boy one more time, placed a gun on his chest and walked away, tears streaming down her face.
The tape stopped and the two detectives just gawped at the screen.
"Phoenix killed the guy?" Olivia was still staring at the TV screen, which was now on the news.
"Looks like it." Elliot managed to say. "But if she did do it, why would she let us have the tape?"
Olivia was about to respond when something the news reporter said made her listen.
"The president will now address the country about the school that has been illegally found training young boys to become military soldiers." The reporter said.
"Thank you Sandra." The president said. "We are going to send some troops down to the school to survey the scene and see if there is any proof that there is any military activity down there."
All of a sudden the president was pushed out of the camera, and Phoenix's face appeared on the screen. "Allo allo allo"
