There will be EO action later, i swear!
Case
"Liv, Elliot, I got a case for you." Cragen called form his office. He handed Elliot a slip of paper with the address on it. "Sounds like a murder/suicide." He sighed. "Husband/wife pair."
The two rode to the scene in silence. When they got there they found themselves in a high drug area of the city.
They climbed up to the third floor walk up passing obscene writing on the walls along the way.
They simply showed their badges to gain access into the apartment.
"Last bedroom down the hall." An officer said as they entered.
The apartment at first glance didn't appear to have been cleaned in years.
The couch had stains all over it, the carpet was filthy, and there were dirty cloths, magazines, cigarette cartons, ashes, and empty alcohol bottles stern about the entire place. In the kitchen Olivia could see pans and plates piled up in the sink.
"Nice place." She said under her breath.
Elliot and Olivia were half way down the hall when they both stopped in their tracks. Inside one of the rooms they could clearly made out a toddler bed, with a few toys stern about it.
"This is a kid's room." Elliot breathed.
"What the hell did we just walk into?" Olivia asked.
They looked at each other for an answer, but neither had one. All they could do was continue down the hall to their scene.
Once they got to the back bedroom they discovered Warner standing over the body of a female.
She was lying, dead, on the bed. Her husband was on the floor with a gun still in his hand. There was blood coming from a wound in his head.
"Morning Detectives." Warner said when she saw them. She stood up to greet them. "Looks like we have a husband and wife pair." She explained. "I'd say murder/suicide. She had sex before she died, and her thighs were bruised, so I'd say she was raped. There was also brushings around her neck, and I found peticial hemerging, so I'd say she was probably strangled." Warner continued as she indicated the bruising on the victim's neck.
"And our husband?" Olivia asked walking over to him.
"Shot himself." Warner answered tersely.
"Did you guys find a kid?" Olivia asked.
"No, why? Should we have?" An officer in the room asked.
"Well, we passed a kids room on the way down the hall." Olivia answered.
Before anyone else could add to the discussion someone sneezed under the bed.
"I think we may have found her." Elliot noted." Can we move these bodies?"
"I'm done." Warner said.
She and her assistant with help form other officers moved the bodies out of the room, after zipping their body bags.
Elliot carefully pulled the bed out, revealing a small girl with matted blonde hair, and a night gown that was too tight, even on her small frame. She was holding a shaggy looking teddy bear.
Olivia had to fight back tears when she saw the girl. She crouched down in front of her.
"Hi hunny. I'm Olivia, and this is my friend Elliot. We're police officers. Are you okay?" She asked.
The girl just nodded her head.
"Did you come her to help me?" She squeaked.
Olivia nodded. "Are you hurt?" She asked again.
The girl shook her head no.
"You wanna come with me?" She asked extending her hand to the girl.
The little one just flung herself into Olivia's arms, and wrapped her arms tightly around her neck.
Olivia looked at Elliot, not sure what to do, but then scooped the girl up in her arms.
"I'll handle in here." Elliot said as Olivia carried the girl out of the apartment.
She sat with her in the ambulance while the paramedic checked the girl out.
"So, what's your name?" Olivia asked.
"Jenny." She squeaked. "My mommy and Daddy aren't coming back, are they?" She asked.
"No baby, I'm sorry but they're not." Olivia said gently.
"What will happen to me?" She asked hoarsely
"Well, we can try to find your family." Olivia tried to sooth. "Do you have grandparents, or maybe an aunt or uncle?" She asked.
Jenny just shook her head. "All I have is Fluffers." She said, indicating the bear. "I got him before Mommy." She added.
"What do you mean, before Mommy?" Olivia asked, confused.
"When I was at the place with all the other little girls." Jenny answered.
"Jenny baby, Did Mommy and Daddy adopt you?" Olivia asked.
"Adopt?" The small girl asked with confusion radiating form her voice.
"Did they take you away from the house with the other girls, or did they have you from the time you were born?" Olivia clarified.
"Oh, they got me when I was older." She answered. "Mommy doesn't like Fluffers. She tried to take him away. She says I'm bad, and don't deserve him." She added, hugging the bear close.
She then stood to examine Olivia's face. "Did your Daddy hit you?" She asked when she saw the bruise.
"Does your Daddy hit you?" Olivia asked.
"When I'm bad." She frowned.
"Okay baby, would you mind talking to me about what happened last night?" She asked, her heart breaking for the small child in front of her.
"Later maybe." Jenny told her with a yawn. "I'm sleepy now."
"Okay. Why don't I take you back to the precinct, and you can sleep there." Olivia comforted. "Then we can talk when you wake up."
Jenny nodded her head, and let Olivia carry her over to her car to wait for Elliot.
TBC... Not the longest chapter, but I needed to introduce the case
