Chapter 3

Once Jill had finished her report she took it to Cragen, who is still talking to Olivia. The blonde also gets permission to help Melinda with moving the desk in her office.

Melinda leads Jill into her office at the Morgue, as they walked Jill couldn't help but allow her eyes to drift downwards, slowly going over Melinda's firm, well-toned legs and then even lower to the older woman's perfectly shaped behind.

'C'mon Jill, get your mind out of the gutter and focus on helping Melinda out.' Jill's mind screamed at her.

Soon the pair came to the furniture that Melinda wanted moved, Jill asked where Melinda wanted it to go and after Melinda showed Jill where, the easily pushed the desk to the desired spot, Melinda marveled at Jill's strength as well as her well-defined arms and her toned core.

Just like Jill, Melinda had to catch herself several times and quickly avert her eyes when she realized that she was staring at Jill, the two women continued their subtle flirting and stealing glances at each other for the rest of Jill's time in Melinda's office.

Nine year old Diane Hebert was walking through on her way home from school, she decides to take the short-cut through Central Park so she would save some time. Diane has her favorite pink backpack on her back as she walked, Diane doesn't know that she is being watched and followed by Zane.

Zane was following Diane closely and stealthily. He had been stalking Diane for almost two months now, long before Ayuko's assault, learning and studying the route that the little girl would take while she was in the park.

'Look at her, she's perfect.' Zane thought, licking his lips slowly.

Meanwhile, Diane's Mother Rebecca Hebert and her ex-husband Nicolai are at Rebecca's two-story home in a heated argument about Diane's claims that Nicolai had been molesting her since she was seven, which lead to the dissolving of Rebecca and Nicolai's marriage.

"Diane told me what you did to her when she would be over at your place on your weekends, Nicolai! She's your daughter for God's sake, how could you rape her like that? You...you're supposed to protect her!" Rebecca roared.

"I have needs as a man, Rebecca and you couldn't fulfill those needs." he said nonchalantly.

"Oh, but our nine year old daughter can?" Rebecca said as she struggled to maintain her composure.
**************

Zane picked up a thick tree branch as he continued following Diane along the secluded hiking trail that wrapped around the park.

Zane also has a Glock 17 pistol in his right pocket, Zane could barely contain his excitement as he followed for his unsuspecting prey.

Back at Rebecca's house, Nicolai and Rebecca are still arguing.

"The Police are going to be paying you a visit shortly, Nicolai." Rebecca said.

"You know, that's a real shame Rebecca, but I won't be the only one losing today." he said with a sinister looking grin on his face.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Rebecca inquired.

"Just wait and see." Nicolai said before he turned and walked out of Rebecca's house.

Diane has stopped to tie her left shoe, Zane took this time to catch up with her. He silently crept up behind Diane and grabbed the little girl from behind.

"Hey! Let me go!" Diane screeched, but Zane pointed the gun directly at Diane's right temple.

"Shut up, kid or I'll blow you away right here." Zane said with venom in his voice, Diane instantly stopped yelling.

"Good girl." Zane whispered as he caressed Diane's non-existent chest before he slipped his right hand down into Diane's pants and into her underwear. Diane began experiencing a flashback of what her Father had done to her, so she closed her eyes as tears slid down her face.

"Aww, you're crying." Zane said mockingly, then he holstered the gun and yanked off Diane's jeans and shoved the small girl to the ground before he took off his pants. Zane positioned himself between Diane's legs, Zane then started to push inside poor little Diane with his shaft's head.

"You ready for some major penetration, baby?"

"No please don't do this." Diane's plea fell on deaf ears as Zane rammed his cock to the hilt inside of the tiny girl. Diane screamed in total agony, tears erupted from her eyes.

"Please get out of me!" Diane tried to beg but with the hand over her mouth it just sounded mumbled.

A strong punch from Zane to the side of the girl's face made her cry out in pain. Diane felt utterly helpless, she wished her Mom was there to come to her rescue.

"Ooohh yeah baby girl, that's it...y-yeah!" Zane howled as he arched his back and climaxed, flooding Diane's body with his seed.

"Phew! That was intense." Zane said as he wiped the sweat from his brow.

Melinda goes home, her heart was still fluttering from her interaction with Jill in her office. In all her years, Melinda has never met anyone quite like Jill Valentine. The blonde is assertive and confident in her abilities. Melinda smiled at her next thought.

'Jill is a total knockout.'

Then Melinda thought of the perfect way to thank Jill for her help.

It has now been going on three hours and Diane still isn't home yet and it's starting to make Rebecca nervous, she calls her best friend Bethany and asks her to come over.

Bethany readily agrees and hurries over to Rebecca's place.

Bethany knocks on Rebecca's door, Rebecca quickly opens the door and lets her friend inside before hugging Bethany tightly and sobbing into her best friend's right shoulder.

"Where could she be, Bethany? This isn't like Diane, I'm worried sick." Rebecca said after taking a few calming breaths.

"It's going to be OK, 'Becca, we'll do everything we can to find Diane." Bethany said soothingly as she stroked Rebecca's hair gently.

"I hope you're right, Bethany." Rebecca said in a hoarse voice.

Jill is enjoying a nice long soak in the tub, her thoughts are focused on are centered around the lovely Melinda Warner, Jill just hoped the ebony goddess would return her feelings if she confessed them to her. This is a first for Jill, developing such strong feelings for someone who wasn't controlling or brainwashing her. In truth, Jill really wanted to see where this thing with Melinda will go if she opened up fully to her.

The ringing of her phone on the end table snapped Jill out of her thoughts, she answers it on the second ring - It was Melinda.

"Hello Melinda, what can I do for you?" Jill asked.

"Hello Jill, I... looked up your address and got your home number, I know I should've asked you flat out for it."

"It's OK, anyway, what's up?"

"I...was wondering have ever had crawfish gumbo before?"

"No, can't say that I have, why do you ask, Melinda?"

"I...make a fairly good crawfish gumbo. Would you like to try some of it?" Melinda asked nervously.

"I would love to try your cooking, Melinda." Jill said playfully.

The next day Jill arrived an hour before Fin and the others, Olivia and the others came in at eight o'clock on the nose, Liv smiled when she saw her partner already here and hard at work.

Just then Heather Moore, the Chief Of Detectives came into the room flanked by Captain Cragen.

"Benson, Valentine, a nine year old girl went missing from Central Park yesterday afternoon. I want you two to work on this case and nothing else until you find this kid." the older brunette said.

"Yes ma'am." Olivia and Jill reply in unison.
