Thanks for the reviews.

This is rather a short chapter. I got a bit of writers block going on.

Chapter 5

Olivia, Elliot, Munch and Fin all raced up the stairs of the rundown building they had been called to. It was a well known squatter's house, but one that the police let them have because it kept them from causing trouble elsewhere.

The team however, where here because they had been informed that Holly was hiding out here. A rat for the police at the 26th precinct had informed them, hoping to cash in on the reward.

Olivia had received another call on the way over to say Holly had freaked when the cops showed up and ran to the roof, where she still was.

As the team ran out onto the roof of the building, they all quickly froze. Holly was stood on the ledge of the building. The slightest breeze would blow her off. There were officers standing around trying to convince her to get down but Holly was just ignoring them. Even though they had their guns pointed at her. Like that would be helping the situation, Olivia thought.

When Holly saw Olivia and the others she became hysteric again. "Stay back! All of you get back!" she yelled.

Olivia signaled for the others to get back, slowly she inched her way forward, holding her hands up, showing Holly she was no threat.

"Get them back!" Holly yelled pointing at the other officers.

"Move back." Olivia quickly told them, pushing them to hurry it up, "…And for God's sake lower your weapons, she's a friggin kid." she told them.

It was late and dark and the wind really was picking up, it was anything but safe up here, especially for Holly who was already practically hanging over the edge. Slowly Olivia began to move towards her again.

"Stop there. That's close enough." Holly told her. She was really upset and crying so hard it broke Olivia's heart. She could see just how confused and desperate she was.

"Holly, sweetheart, please get down from there and we can go somewhere safe and talk." Olivia said.

"No! You'll arrest me. I'll go to jail." Holly said matter-of-factly.

"No you won't" Olivia told her.

"Yes I will." Holly told her as she ripped her jacket open.

Olivia heard the officers behind her hold their guns up again. They all thought Holly was a monster who was going to pull out a gun and start shooting them all. Olivia knew better. She had seen so many rape victims acting this hysterical that she knew they had to be dealt with quickly but sensitively.

It almost made her laugh when she thought about how many victims she had had to convince not to kill themselves, some of them wanting to jump off buildings, just like Holly.

However, when Olivia saw what Holly was showing her it looked like she had been attacked by a monster. There was blood all over her shirt and when Olivia looked closer it was all over her clothes and skin. It only took her seconds to realize the blood wasn't hers.

"I killed him Olivia. I wanted that bastard dead so I killed him." Holly cried.

"Sweetheart, come down from there, please." Olivia said, not ignoring what she had said but hating the danger Holly was in.

"Did you not just hear what I said? I killed that man, Olivia. He raped me so I killed him." she said clearly.

"Why did you kill him, Holly? We had him, he was going to go to jail."

"Liar!" Holly screamed at her, "You let him go. He went back home, got a beer out of his fridge and watched another porno film. This is all your fault. Why did you let him go?" Holly cried.

"Holly we never let him go, we just couldn't hold him. Not yet. But we were gonna put him away for what he did to you and those other girls." Olivia said.

Holly stopped crying and looked at her as her words registered. Then she began crying and turned to face over the ledge.

"Holly, No!" Olivia screamed as she moved closer. "Get down, Come down and I'll take you to see Sara, your daughter."

Holly turned and faced her again. Olivia was almost within an arms reach of her now.

"Is that what you called her?" Holly asked.

"Yeah, I know it wasn't my place to name her but I couldn't keep calling her baby." Olivia protested.

"No…it's just. That was my real mother's name. It's what I would've called her." Holly said, "She need's to know that I love her and that I didn't mean for things to be like this." Holly said.

"Then get down and we'll go see her. She's amazing, she's so cute and she's changing so much everyday. Come with me, you can get to know her. I know she wants to get to know you." Olivia said, trying to move forward slightly so she could grab Holly.

"Olivia, will you do something for me? Tell Sara I love her and I'm sorry." Holly said.

Before Holly's words had time to hit home, Olivia, was watching as she fell backwards. "No!" she screamed as she ran to the ledge, only getting there in time to see Holly hit the ground.

She watched as a medical team surrounded her but she knew Holly was dead. No one could survive that type of fall. And the unnatural way Holly lay in the street and the blood forming around her lifeless body just made the fact more certain.

Elliot ran up to Olivia, followed by the others. He wrapped his arms around her as he pulled her away from the ledge. As the shock allowed the reality to hit her she turned into him and hid her face against his chest as she began to cry.
