CHAPTER TWELVE

At the station, Detective Maxwell Roquette was interrogating Addison Reilly. His number one suspect in Renesmee Swarek and Elizabeth Patterson's murder case.

"Where were you the night of Elizabeth Alison Patterson's death?" The detective asked Addison.

She replied with, "I was at the hospital, where I'm always at. Detective, why are you asking me about Lizzy?"

"On February 5th, 1998, Elizabeth was killed. According to the file that you wrote up after her death you wrote on that report that she passed away from childbirth. You were her doctor at the time were you not?"

"Yes, that is true, but why would I kill a patient when she just gave birth. Besides Lizzy had three other kids that needed her. What I put in that report is what happened that night."

"Well, Mrs. Reilly, our medical examiner did a full autopsy and we were told by her that Lizzy Patterson was poisoned. When you were questioned by the police, they were told that Lizzy died of simple childbirth, is that not what you told them?" Max asked her trying to get a confession out of her.

Just then, the door opened and his partner and best friend Detective Olivia Benson walked in to help her partner out.

"Max, do you accompany any help with this one?" Liv asked her partner.

"Hi, Liv. Sure, I could use some help." Max said to her. He turned his attention back to Addison. "Well, I would love to help you with her right now but Captain Cragen wants to see us in his office."

"Ok, let's go, I'll be back doc." Max said standing up from his spot at the interview table. They exited the room and walked over to Captain Cragen's office.
