Chapter 16
Daniel looked up from Sarah's homework and noticed the Detectives walk into the kitchen with Sarah's mother.
"Sarah the detectives are here to ask you a few questions." Said her mother.
Her mother walked back into the lounge room to watch the TV.
"Hun, I'll go and join your mum in the lounge room while you talk to the detectives." Said Daniel, as he got up from the kitchen table and walked into the lounge room.
"Ok handsome." Replied Sarah.
Then she got up from the kitchen table and closed the siding doors that separate the kitchen and the lounge room so she could answer the detectives' questions.
"This won't take long Sarah" Said Munch.
"Ok, how can I help you detectives?" Asked Sarah.
"We're wondering if you know Mary Williams and Melissa Stevens?" Asked Fin.
"Yea of course I do their in my English class why?" Replied Sarah.
"They were reaped not long after you." Said Munch.
"Oh are they alright?" Asked Sarah.
"Mary is about the same as you, we're going to see her shortly. As for Melissa she's still in hospital Olivia and Elliot are there now talking to her to see if she remembers anything." Replied Fin.
"Ok is there anything else I can help your with Detectives?" Asked Sarah.
"Yes do you remember anything else about your rape?" Replied Munch.
"No." Answered Sarah.
"Other then Daniel, have you noticed anyone paying you a lot of attention?" Asked Fin.
"Not that I can think of, any way I haven't been to school since I was raped. Daniel picks up the work that I've missed and mum has talked to the principal about what happened. Sarah replied.
"Thank you for your help Sarah that's all the questions we have at the moment. If we have anymore questions we'll let you know." Said Munch.
"Your welcome detectives, I was only too happy to help." Replied Sarah as she opened the sliding kitchen doors to the lounge room and walked the detectives to the front door to let them out.
As the detectives walked down the front stairs of the house, Sarah closed and locked the door behind them.
Daniel had walked out the back door of the house and he was waiting for them to come out after talking to Sarah.
"Detectives can I speak to you for a minute?" Asked Daniel.
"Of course, what about?" Replied Munch.
"It's about Sarah's rape. I over heard some of the conversation that you had with Sarah. I don't know if she's noticed this but her English teacher watches her a lot, and he puts a real cross face on only when I'm with her." Daniel said.
"Do you know the name of her English teacher?" Asked Fin.
"Yea his name is Mr Smith. His only a temporary teacher while Mrs Jones is off on maternity leave. She's suppose to be back next week when Sarah's English paper is due in." Daniel replied.
"Daniel you've done the right thing by telling us this information. And I think you might have given us a lead. However we must be going now and check in on Mary Williams to find out if she remembers anything more or not about her rape." Said Munch.
"I agree it's getting late Munch, however you have forgotten to ask Daniel what school they go to." Said Fin.
"We go to Lake View High School; it's a private school for talented young writers." Replied Daniel.
Munch felt very silly to have forgotten and that his mistake was pointed out, to ask either Sarah or even Daniel the question about what school they when to. Then Munch said. "Yes Fin I had totally forgotten about asking that. Thank you for your help Daniel."
Daniel replied. "It's cool; I know that you two must be very busy from this case. I just thought I might be able to help by giving you some information."
The detectives got into their car and drove off to go and see Mary Williams, also to see if she remembered anything more about her rape.
Daniel started to head back inside the house via the back door. Sarah had gone back to working on her homework Daniel walked over to her at the kitchen table to finish helping her with her homework.
Meanwhile back at the station house.
The captain was waiting for the four detectives to return with some more information about the three girls' rapes and he was hoping for a lead. When Olivia and Elliot returned to the station house and walked through the SVU doors.
"Olivia, Elliot my office now!" Yelled the captain.
"Yes coming captain." Replied Elliot.
"Coming captain." Olivia replied as she walked to her desk and put her jacket down on her table.
Then Olivia and Elliot headed into the captains office. As they walked in the captain's office door.
The captain said, in an impatient voice. "Close the door and then tell me what you can report detectives."
"Melissa Stevens knows Mary Williams and Sarah Johnston, all three of them go to the same english class. However she couldn't tell us anymore about her rape." Replied Olivia.
"Hmm now we've found the find the link between all three of them. Do you have anything else that you can tell me?" Asked the capatain.
"Not at this time captain one of the nurse's stopped us asking Melissa a lot of questions." Replied Elliot.
"That's fine she needs her rest. Your dismissed." The captain said.
Olivia opened the door to the captain's office. As Olivia and Elliot left the captain's office.
Olivia walked towards her desk and said. "We should continued going throught more of these case files again to see if we can find out anymore links between, cold cases and we are on at the moment."
"I agree Olivia, but I'm tried I might go and get some sleep. Wake me up in about an hour and I'll take over while I take over." Elliot replied.
"That sounds fare, I'll see you in about an hour." Said Olivia.
Elliot nodded then he walked away so he could go and some sleep. While Olivia started working on reading the cold case files.
Meanwhile Munch and Fin had just arrived at Mary Williams house.
Munch and Fin got out of the car and walked up the front stairs of a lagre unit block.
Fin hang the bell so that they could be let in so that they could ask Mary a few questions.
"Who's there?" Asked a female voice through the intercom.
