Elliot, Olivia, and Fin sat in the squad room completely silent. Munch was in the hospital in critical care. It was a possibility that he might die. They had to find this bastard.
A young woman of about eighteen or nineteen strolled in holding a manilla folder. Olivia looked up. Praying that she could help this girl and get her mind off of John. "Can I help you?" she asked.
The young girl looked at her. "I'm looking for Captain Cragen." she said, Olivia sat back and using her thumb, pointed towards Cragen's office. The girl walked away.
She reached the office and knocked. "Come in!" came the harsh words of Captain Cragen on the other side of the door. Hesitantly she stepped in.
"Captain Cragen?" she asked. Cragen looked up.
"I'm sorry, I don't take cases, talk to one of the detectives out there." he said pointing out of the office.
"I'm not a victim Captain, I'm a transfer from homicide. Detective Cameron Holiday." she held out her hand. Cragen looked shocked.
"You, you don't look old enough."
"Yeah, I get that a lot. I'm twenty-seven." She said, smiling.
"How-"
"Diet, exercise and a lot of make-up. But on the subject of work," she trailed off.
"Oh right," Cragen stood. He came around his desk and opened the door to his office. "Your desk is right there," he said pointing to Munch's old desk. "Most likely it'll only be temporary, so don't get used to it." Cameron nodded.
"Of course sir."
"Alright, listen up!" he called out to the squad room. "This is Detective Holiday, she'll be Munch's replacement for the time being. Fin she'll be your partner. Where are we on this case?"
"So far, no where. We have no idea who this guy is or even why he kidnaped a Girl Scout." Olivia answered wearily.
"Did you question her family yet? Or find out who owns that house?"
"We're on it. No one owns that place. It's abandoned." Fin responded.
"Keep looking. There has to be something somewhere." And with that Cragen left the room. Cameron didn't move for a second before plopping down behind Munch's old desk across Fin.
"So, um," she started. She wasn't normally nervous, but the other three were looking at her like she was Satin. She couldn't really blame them. She wasn't their dear friend. She was new. She didn't doubt if they didn't like anyone new. "What's the case?"
"A girl was kidnaped. About eight years old," Elliot offered. "And the perp attacked a cop."
"Dead?"
"Living."
"Ok, where do we start? Did you talk to the family of the girl yet?"
"There kid was just kidnaped we didn't want to overwhelm them like that," Elliot said bitterly.
"Then I suggest we start there. What about the girl's school?" Cameron said just as bitterly.
"Alright, Elliot, you and I can talk to the girl's family. Liv, you and the new girl can check out the girl's school." Fin got up and grabbed his coat. Elliot followed suit.
Out in the hall. "Don't wanna work with the new girl?" Elliot asked Fin.
"I'm used to working with a guy." Fin responded.
Olivia remained shocked and speechless for a few moments as the two men left. Then she looked over at Cameron.
"Liv? Is it?"
"Olivia."
"Cameron." Cameron stood, as did Olivia. "So what's the girl's school?"
"Ella Baker, East 67th."
Cameron hesitated for a second. She looked at Olivia. "She's eight?" Olivia nodded. "What was her name?"
"Lisa," Liv said. "Lisa Larkman. You know her?" Cameron shook her head.
"No. Should we go?"
Ok, that was the first real chapter. Tell me what you think! I know it took so long but I kept getting writer's block, and I was never over at my dad's house where my computer is! Sorry to all those who like my darling story! Tell me if Munch should live! (oh I can already hear this one! Don't kill munch! How do I know? I've already gotten reviews saying "Don't kill Munch!")
