"Emiko?" Munch said with confusion in his voice. Black eyed Emiko sat up and looked at them.
"What?" she screamed, angry.
"What happened to your eye?"
"Fight at school."
"Bull, it was your Dad wasn't it?" Emiko looked back down at her feet.
"No." she muttered. Fin sat down next to her and rubbed her back.
"We talked to Aleah, sweetie." Emiko stiffened.
"W-w-what did she say?" her voice broke with emotion.
"Honestly, she was like a brick wall." Emiko faintly smiled, then grabbed her stomach in pain. Screaming, tears started falling down her cheeks, like a waterfall.
"What's wrong?" Munch asked alarmed. Emiko held her stomach tightly.
"Em, let go off your stomach and let me see what's wrong." instructed Fin. Still she continued to scream. Fin gently pushed her back, so she was lying on her back. Munch restrained her arms, while Fin lifted up her shirt exposing her bare mid-drift. Burns, bruises, and cuts covered it. One cut looked really bad, and it looked infected.
"Call a bus!" he yelled at Munch. Munch left go of Emiko's arms and pulled out his cell phone. Emiko's screams were getting louder and louder and soon they stopped, as she passed out in pain.
"Is she gonna be ok?" Olivia asked nervous. Fin and Munch were at the hospital, and Elliot and Olivia were arresting Mr.Kobyashi.
"They're not sure yet." Fin replied.
"What's wrong?"
"One of the cuts went so far that is cut an artery, she's been bleeding internally for a week or so, and then her body couldn't take it anymore."
"Gosh."
"I know, then there were cuts, burns, and bruises all over."
"Geez, and she denied it all this time, oh Fin we're here, call you when we get to the precinct."
"Bye."
"Detectives?" Dr.Darras asked coming out of the emergency room.
"Is she ok, is she going to live?"
"Barely, but yes, she will live." Fin and Munch let out a sigh of relief.
"Can we see her?"
"Sure, room 456, but keep in mind she's still a little groggy."
"Emiko, you're going to be just fine." Munch informed her.
"You should have let me die, it would be better than anything."
"No it wouldn't, but can you tell me where you got all those burns, and stuff?"
"Take a wild guess."
"Dad?"
"Correct."
"Ok, well we are going to arrest him, he will never hurt you again." Emiko smiled and started crying again.
"Thank you soooooo much!" she cried. "He has been hurting me since my Mom died, at first it was horrible, then I became numb to the pain, until the knife came out."
"When did that happen?"
"Around 10 maybe." Munch walked around Fin to give her a hug. She collapsed in his chest in heavy sobs.
"I knew I should have told, but he sweared he would kill me, and he almost did the night I came home after being with you."
"Is that when he cut you bad?" She nodded her head.
"Where am I going to go?"
"Foster care, until we find relatives."
"Thank you."
