I wonder how I'm going to tell her. She loves Lizzie like a daughter. Maybe I should be afraid of telling her. Oh my god! I just thought of something. I have basketball practice in fifteen minutes! I don't have time to tell Olivia, I have to get back to school. I hope Mr. Peerenboom doesn't see me. I turn around and walk up the stairs to the school. I hurry to the locker room and change into my uniform. Then I take out my cell phone and call Olivia.
"Benson," she answers.
"Olivia, I have basketball practice. I can't talk to you until later."
"Okay." (pause) "Dickie, how important is this?"
"Very. I gotta go. Bye." I hung up before she could respond and put my phone back in my backpack. Then one of my teammates walks up behind me and pats my back.
"Let's go into the gym," he says.
"Alright."
Practice was extra long because we had a big game coming up. It ended at 6:45. I change into my regular clothes and start walking towards the precinct. Maybe I should call Olivia to see if she's still here. I call and she tells me things are slow and she can talk to me. I also ask her if my dad's around.
"He's working out downstairs. He won't be up for at least a half an hour," she answers. I hang up and walk to the squad room. It took me about two minutes to get up to the squad room. I've been here many times. I love this place. This place is the reason I want to join the NYPD when I'm older. Olivia looks up from her mountain of paperwork and sees me. She gets up and walks to me.
"Hi Dickie."
"Um, can we talk somewhere?"
"Yeah," she says with a concerned look on her face. I follow her to an interrogation room and I sit in the chair facing the two-way mirror. "Okay, so what's so important?" I sigh.
"Greg Larson, my mom's new boyfriend, I want you to arrest him."
"What did he do to you?"
"He… he didn't do anything to me. Lizzie."
"What did he do to Lizzie?"
"He like… touched… her." (pause) "I want him out of our house!"
"How do you know he touched her?"
"I saw him. She begged me not to tell Dad but she never said anything about telling you."
"Stay here," she said as she arose from her chair and walked out of the room. I put my head in my hands and stayed like that until my dad came in with Olivia. He sat down in the chair that Olivia was in.
"Dickie, who the hell hurt Lizzie," he asked. I could tell he was trying to stay calm.
"Mom's new boyfriend, Greg Larson."
"Where does he live?"
"Practically at our house."
