Interview
Olivia woke up to find Jenny sitting at the foot of her bed, holding Fluffers, staring at her.
"Oh, morning Sweetie." Olivia smiled, a little startled. "You're up early."
"Does your eye still hurt?" She asked, inspecting the now fading bruise on Olivia's face.
"No. Not anymore." Olivia answered honestly. "Why?"
"Did your Daddy hit you?" She asked.
"No Baby, my friend did." Olivia answered.
"Are they your friend anymore?" Jenny asked.
"No." Olivia shook her head.
"Did you tell your Mommy on them?" She continued.
"No. My Mommy's with yours." Olivia answered,
"She died?" Jenny asked. "Were you sad?"
"A little." Olivia answered honestly. "But she was sick for a long time."
Jenny looked confused.
"You know how your Mommy and Daddy sometimes turned mean?" She asked.
Jenny nodded her head.
"My Mommy did that too." Olivia confided. She leaned over and whispered to Jenny. She needed to know that she wasn't alone.
"Your whole life!" Jenny asked, shocked.
"No. She got better when I was around your age. But when I got older, she got sick again." Olivia explained.
"Did nice people adopt you?" Jenny asked.
"No." Olivia said sadly. "I never told anyone about her, so no one was really there to help me."
"Lilly says nice people are gonna adopt me." She smiled.
"Really? When did she say that?" Olivia asked.
"When I woke up. She said I could be happy, because nice people were coming, and they love me." She boasted.
"Is Lilly here now?" Olivia asked.
"No silly. She only comes when Mommy and Daddy fight, and she sings me to sleep at night. Like her Mommy did." She explained, as if it was common knowledge. "Lilly also says that I need to tell you what happened to my Mommy and Daddy, so I want to." She added out of the blue.
"Okay Jenny, lemme just get George, and then you can tell me." Olivia said. She was surprised at Jenny's sudden change. Olivia had been trying for days to get her to open up.
Olivia quickly brushed back her hair, wiped the drool from her face, and fixed her clothes before making her way to the bull pen.
"Where's Elliot?" She asked when she got to the bottom of the stairs.
"He had to run to get some lab test or something." Fin answered. "Why?"
"Because, Jenny's ready to talk. Can you get the Captain and George for me?" She asked rushing to the children's interview room.
Once everyone was together Olivia sat with Jenny. "Okay Sweetie, why don't you start at the beginning of that day for me?"
"Daddy went out, and Mommy's friend Joe came over." She began. "They went to Mommy's room and I played ponies. Then Joe left. Mommy made me grilled cheese!" She said excitedly. "She was always happy when Joe went home. Then Daddy came home and was really mad." She said, and then quieted down.
"It's okay Jenny. Take your time." She comforted, as tears began to roll down Jenny's face.
"I was scared, so I ran into Mommy and Daddy's room to hide under the bed. Daddy said she was bad, and he knew about Joe. He said he knew Mommy was leaving." She said as the tears came faster.
"Mommy said she couldn't help it. She hated Daddy. Then something hit the door, and Daddy asked what about me. Mommy said he could have me cause he needed the money for his drinks." She sniffed for a moment.
"Then the door opened, and Daddy called Mommy a bad name, and they fell on the bed. I'm not supposed to be in there, so I was really scared, Mommy yelled at Daddy to get off her. Then the bed started hitting me, and Mommy cried." She paused.
"Jenny, do you want to stop?" Olivia asked. Not only had this girl been there for her parent's death, but she was under the bed when her father raped her mother!
Jenny shook her head, wiped her nose, and continued. "Lilly came under the bed and hugged me. She said I would be okay. Then Mommy called Daddy a bad name. Daddy said that no one else could have her. Then Mommy made a funny noise, and jumped on the bed. Then she stopped. Daddy said he would be with her forever, no matter what he had to do. Then he went to his drawer, and I heard a BANG! He fell. I started to cry, but Lilly said someone was coming to help me. She said she was so sorry she left me. But she was there the whole time." Jenny finished, and threw herself into Olivia's arms and sobbed.
"Shhh." Olivia comforted as she stroked the girls hair motherly. "It's okay baby. You're safe now." She said as her own tears fell.
While Olivia held her Cragen came in and asked George to follow him out of the room.
After what seemed like forever, Jenny looked up at Olivia through tear glazed eyes. "Will nice people take me home?" She asked again.
"I'm gonna make sure of that." Olivia promised.
She turned her attention to the door as Cragen walked in.
"Olivia, I need to talk you for a second." He said seriously.
Olivia left Jenny with a social worker, and left the room.
TBC... the next chapter will reveal why Olivia needed to leave and what Cragen has to tell her!
