"We have to find them." Alex demanded as she watched the two women on the computer screen. It was around 2:00 A.M. and Jim had left hours ago, but had not yet returned for Olivia which every one was thankful for. They all knew Amanda having to watch Olivia being beaten or what ever Jim had in mind for them would do her emotional state no favors. If anything, it could make her more fearful of being out of the brunettes sight. "Alex, we will find them. Trust me. I may actually have a lead on where they are." Kat responded, motioning for the rest of the group to come closer. "I'll keep watch here." Kim decided, taking a seat at the table, eyes never leaving Olivia and Amanda on the feed.
"So apparently he owns some property way off of root 247." Kat explained, showing them the map and Fin's eyes widened. "I know where they are." He exclaimed, grabbing his jacket, Kat and Sonny on his heals. "Thanks to that witness description of the car, Amanda telling me where to find her if he ever took her and the gps from their phones we know right where they are. Taru tracked them." He said before they rushed from the squad room.
"Bring them home." Alex called out and turning around he nodded before hurrying to the suvs.
"Thank God." Kim whispered glancing at Alex who nodded in agreement. "Will they get there before he comes back to torment Liv. That's the question." Kim said, and Alex just hung her head. "God, I hope so, for Amanda's sake.
The door slamming open startled both occupants of the room back in to wakefulness, Amanda shifting closer to Liv who protectively held the blonde and glared menacingly at their captor. , daring him to approach. Jim however, had other ideas. Making his daughter watch her protector endure pain was all he could think about and he knew exactly how to break her once and for all.
"Up you go." He said, roughly hoisting the brunette to her feet and she bit her lip to keep from screaming out as pain shot through her body from the injury to her ribs and the other injuries she had received. Amanda immediately began shaking uncontrollably, curling in to a ball in the corner of the room and shutting her eyes.
She knew she was responsible for all of this and for what Olivia was going to endure but she just couldn't watch this. "Pl-please do-don't make me watch." She pleated but her pleas fell on deaf ears. "Don't even think about it. You will watch." Jim screamed, grasping Amanda's chin in his hand, making her look at him. "Just remember, you did this. She's going through all of this because of you." Placing her on a sloping board and retying Amanda to the chair in the room he retrieved a bottle of water and a cloth. "God, no. Daddy please. Don't do this to her." Amanda screamed, thrashing wildly against her binds but it was no use.
"Son of a bitch. I'm calling Fin." Kim yelled, shear horror taking over as she watched the sight in front of her. "We have to stop this." Alex cried, knowing that that was impossible.
"Fin. Where are you?" "About 10 minutes away. Why?" "It's bad. Very bad. You need to get there as quick as you can."
"Kim. What's happening?" He demanded, pressing harder on the gas. "He's... he's w-water boarding her. He's water boarding Liv and Amanda- Oh God. She's having to watch!" She said, beginning to sob at the horrific sight playing out in front of her. "Son of a bitch." He swore and Kat angrily punched the dash, having pulled up the feed on her tablet.
"No!" Amanda shrieked helplessly, still tugging relentlessly on her binds and Jim grinned maniacally, Olivia continuing to struggle the best she could. "This is your fault. You did this. If you had just kept him out of prison." He growled and her blood ran cold but she knew he had given her an opening. She just hoped it would be enough to stop Olivia's torment.
"Wait what? Y-you hired him?" She demanded, trying to gain his attention and it worked. He released Olivia who began coughing and sputtering, trying to regain her breath. "Yes. I sure did." He said, an evil glint in his eyes and suddenly Olivia lunged at him, roughly pressing him into the wall.
"Start talking, you son of a bitch." She growled dangerously and Amanda's eyes widened in fear, never having seen this side of her boss before, at least not around her. "Li-liv." Amanda whimpered but the brunette ignored her. "Hand me the fucking rope." She demanded and Amanda complied, just wanting her boss to calm down.
Suddenly the door slammed open and there in the doorway was the rest of the squad, guns drawn.
"Pl-please m-make her calm down." Amanda pleated, crouching in a corner of the room and rocking back and forth and Fin carefully approached the brunette. "Liv. It's Fin. Let him go." He said but she just shook her head. "He fucking hired him. He hired that monster to take her away from us for a year and a half.
He needs to pay." She yelled and he nodded. "I know.
We heard it on the feed but Amanda needs you, Liv." He whispered and finally the brunette snapped out of it, quickly making her way to the cowering blonde in the corner of the room.
"Baby. I'm so sorry. I'll never hurt you." She said softly, lifting Amanda gently in to her arms, her ribs protesting in response but she didn't let go. "I-I'm sorryyy, Li-Liv." She hiccuped violently, tears pouring down her face and the brunette kissed her head comfortingly. "Shhh. It's ok. We are both ok." She whispered. "We have to go to the hospital though.
You were electrocuted and I was hurt as well." She explained and Amanda shook her head. "N-no. I don't wanna go." She said and Liv sighed. "Sweetheart, we have to. I promise I'm not leaving you." She added and after a few minutes Amanda responded with the faintest of nods against Olivia's shoulder.
1 hour later
"Liv!" Alex said as she entered the hospital room and the brunette smiled at her friend. "Hey, Lex. Where is Kim?" She's parking the car. Did the doc say you can go home?"
"Yeah, but I don't know where we are staying. Amanda has a panic attack every time I bring up going back to our place." The brunette admitted with a sigh, glancing at the other bed in the room where Amanda, for the moment, was sleeping soundly.
"You guys could-" "NOOO. Liv!" Came the terrified scream, cutting Alex off and Olivia was out of bed in a flash, hurrying across the room and carefully placing a hand on the blonde's shoulder. "NOOO. Daddy please stop. Liv." She screamed once more, bolting upright in bed, eyes moving frantically around the room..
"Easy, sweetheart. You're in the hospital." Olivia cooed, softly rubbing Amanda's back. "Li-Liv. Please." She sobbed. "What, baby? What do you need?" She asked in just above a whisper as Kim entered the room.
"Hug." You need a hug?" She asked and Amanda nodded, shifting closer. "Scoot over, sweetie." The brunette said and Amanda immediately complied as Liv carefully got situated in the hospital bed and gently pulled the younger detective into her arms.
"Manda. I'm so glad you're alright." Kim said softly, carefully approaching the bed. Amanda just nodded, snuggling closer to the brunette and closing her eyes, eventually falling back to sleep.
"I want mama." Amanda said quietly and Olivia glanced at Amanda's doctor. "Can she see her before we leave?" It had been two days since the rescue and the two women were finally being released, Alex allowing them to stay with her for the time being. "Yes, but keep it brief." He said and Olivia nodded, silently thanking him. "Is she awake?" "No, baby. Not yet." The brunette whispered, frowning when Amanda buried her head against her chest, shivers racking her small frame.
"Oh, my love. Shh. It's alright. I've got you." She said, slowly entering Beth Anne's room and taking a seat in the empty chair with Amanda in her lap.
"Beth. It's Liv. Please wake up. We all need you, especially Kim and Amanda." She said, a tear falling from her eye and to her surprise she felt a small hand gently wipe it away. "M-mama. I love you. Please wake up. Daddy can't hurt you anymore." Amanda whispered, a sob coming out before she could stop it and she pressed her face into Olivia's neck.
Pressing a kiss to her young detectives head, Olivia glanced around the white room and at the various machines and did something she hadn't done in years. She prayed.
She prayed for herself and Amanda but more than anything, she prayed Beth Anne would open her eyes. She didn't know what the woman in her arms would do if she lost her mother, and she prayed she didn't have to find out. After every thing she'd been through, she didn't know how much more Amanda could take.
