A/N: I am very sorry for the lack of updates. I had so much work for school. As you all know I am in my junior year and I had a huge paper to write for my creative writing final. It was forty pages long. I also had some personal problems that I went through. I hope I didn't lose any of my readers because of the long wait. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter Four
Cody sat at a table in an interrogation room at the police station. He was worried that while he was sitting there the girl he found was slipping away. He didn't know why, but he felt a connection with her. From the instant he saw her he felt a link between them come out. Like it had been there all the time, but he hadn't known about it until that moment. He didn't know why it was there either but he just knew it had to do with who that girl was. But he had never seen her before. The door opened and in stepped the woman who had been the one to bring him and his father to the station. Her name was Detective Olivia Benson, but she had told Cody to call her Olivia or Liv.
"Hey Cody. I'm sorry to keep you waiting," Olivia apologized.
Cody smiled weakly and watched as she took a seat across from him.
"Is she ok?" Cody asked.
"She's still in surgery. We won't know anything until she comes out," replied Olivia.
Cody nodded. It wasn't the answer he was looking for but he didn't know what he was expecting in the first place.
"Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" Olivia asked.
Cody shook his head and waited for her to begin. He mentally prepped himself to tell her what had happened. And he could, seeing as he couldn't get the image out of his mind.
"Let's start off with an easy one. How long have you lived in New York?" Olivia asked.
"We're just visiting for the summer. My Dad, my Uncle, and my Dad's friend were asked to train with the Knicks for the summer. My Mom is helping some fashion designer with their new fashion line," explained Cody.
"How long have you been here?"
Cody didn't see how these questions had anything to do with what had happened but he figured she was letting him ready himself for the important one with small useless questions.
"Two days," replied Cody.
Olivia waited a moment before she dove into the bigger questions. She could tell that Cody knew they were now coming.
"Did you hear any yelling or fighting today?" Olivia asked.
Cody shook his head. He wished he had been there to hear it. Maybe he could have been able to prevent her attacker from attacking her.
"We were just coming back when I found her. I had run ahead of my Dad to open the door," explained Cody.
There was a knock on the door. Olivia excused herself and went out into the room behind the two-way mirror. She found her partner Elliot Stabler and the ADA Alexandra Cabot standing there.
"What's up?" Olivia asked.
"I got a call from Warner. The girls name is Isabelle Evans. The woman who was found dead in the apartment was her adoptive mother Teresa Evans. She had been adopted by her and her adoptive father Joey Evans. But guess who her real father is?" Elliot asked.
"I don't know," replied Olivia, "Who?"
"A certain Lucas Scott."
Olivia was shocked. She had not expected that. She turned and looked through the glass at Cody who sat at the table nervously fidgeting.
"Cody's her brother?" asked Olivia.
"Yes. They're twins," explained Elliot.
Olivia looked curiously at Elliot. She didn't understand how Lucas Scott could keep one child and not the other.
"Why would he only keep his son?" Alex asked before Olivia could.
Elliot shrugged.
"Let's go talk to him," suggested Elliot.
Elliot and Olivia left the room and walked down the hall to the interrogation room Lucas Scott was in.
"Sorry we took so long Mr. Scott," apologized Olivia.
"That's alright. You can call me Lucas," Lucas told them, "Is my son Cody alright?"
"He's fine. We just have to ask you a few questions," explained Elliot.
Lucas nodded. Olivia and Elliot sat down in chairs across from Lucas.
"Could you tell us what happened?" Olivia asked.
"My son and I were just coming back to pick up a few things before we went to meet my wife, Brooke, for dinner. My son went ahead of me to open the door. He was hungry and wanted to get what we needed so we could go to the restaurant sooner. I was taking my time walking down the hall because I knew it would annoy him and I was just playing with him. The next thing I knew my son was screaming for me. I ran as fast I could the rest of the way. When I got there I found the girl lying on the ground and my son was freaking out. That's when I called for help," explained Lucas.
Olivia and Elliot exchanged glances before looking back at Lucas. In that short glance they silently told each other what to do next. Lucas was unsure of what he did or what they were going to do.
"I don't mean to be blunt here, but do you have a daughter?" Elliot asked.
The question caught Lucas off guard. This was one thing he did not expect. Than he realized why they would be asking that. The color drained from his face and he let a small squeak of fear.
"Was that my daughter?" Lucas managed to get out after a moment of silence.
"I'm afraid so, Lucas," replied Olivia.
Lucas gripped the edges of the table so hard his knuckles turned white.
"Oh my gosh," Lucas gasped.
He could hardly believe what he had just heard. He had finally found his daughter and some evil monster had beaten the life out of her.
"We just have to ask you a few more questions," Elliot told him.
Lucas nodded numbly.
"Anything," Lucas mumbled.
"Why did you and your wife only keep Cody and not your daughter Isabelle?" Olivia asked.
Lucas sighed and searched for the right words on how he was going to answer her question.
"My wife Brooke isn't the mother of my children," replied Lucas.
Olivia and Elliot exchanged confused glances. Upon seeing their confused looks Lucas went on to explain everything. About how he had done a stupid thing his junior year and how a year and three months later Nikki, the mother of his children, left Cody on his front door with a note. He explained how some time later when he was getting his life back together Nikki showed up and told her about Isabelle. He told them how he tried to get Isabelle back but no one would believe him when he said that Nikki forged his signature that gave up his parental rights. The thought that since he had one of them that he knew about the other.
"Now if you don't have anymore questions I need to be with my kids right now," Lucas said when he was finished.
