Olivia had gone back to her desk across from Elliot to work on paper work too. She yawned and Elliot looked up, "Liv, go home, you need some sleep. Sleep in the crib if you have to but you need to get some sleep. We can't have one of our best detetives falling asleep during an interrogation." He said seeing her yawn.
She looked up to reply but assoon as she opened her mouth they heard a scream coming from the crib. Olivia ran into the room to see her sitting there crying. Mackenzie gets up and hugs Olivia. She looks down at the little girl and says sweetly, "Sweetie what happened? Did you have a bad dream?"
She pulled away from Olivia, took a deep breath, and sat down on the bed with Olivia following her. "I hada nightmare, exactly like this afternoon, but I woke up the next morning to go into surgery, and they didn't even know what they were doing. What surgery is it?" She asked, tears still slowly cascading down her cheeks.
"I don't know, honey, but I'm going to do my best to find out okay?" Mackenzie nods and lays down to go back to sleep.
Olivia walks out of the room to run into the Cragen. "Is she alright? I heard her scream."
"She's okay now, she had a bad dream. She's scared about the surgery. On top of that after being raped by her old teacher today that must be, traumatizing." Olivia says sadly.
Don nods and walks back into his office while Olivia opens the door and closes it behind her. "Mackenzie, you need to understand that the men here, they're not going to hurt you. They're cops, trust me, they would never do anything to hurt you. Tomorrow Elliot's wife, Cathy, is coming in, she wants to talk to you about what happened. Later on though, you might have to talk to Dr. Huang though, depends on what the judge says, do you think you could do that. We'd be right there behind the window watching you." Mackenzie nods in response then turns over to go to sleep again.
Olivia climbs into another bed nearby Mackenzie and tries to catch some shut-eye.
Meanwhile, back at the hospital at three o'clock in the morning, Fin suddenly stands up when he sees Casey. He looks down at Munch and shakes him awake. "Hallelujah, no more snoring, you got the warrant right?" Fin asks, tganks in his voice.
"It's right here, your welcome. I'm going to stick around, I want to know what this surgery is that I had to wake up a cranky judge at two in the morning to sign for." Fin nods and walks up to the nure at the front desk.
"Where's that doctor?" She gets on the announcement mic and calls the doctor to the front desk. "We got your warrant, get the file. And stick around, we might need you to explain some of the mumbo jumbo they talk about in these files."
The doctor hands them the file and they open it. "Says here she's having brain surgery, for what?" Casey asks confused. Why would an twelve-year-old child need brain surgery?
"It's an experimental surgery, one the Harper donated greats amount to. It's supposed to help take away a brand new kind of tumor that we've never seen before."
"What kind of tumor?" Munch asks curiously.
"Something caused from birth, most likely from the mother. If the mother was stressed during pregnany and worried, extremely more emotional than the typical emotional pregnany woman, it causes a sort of blood clot that leads to the tumor. It's all very advanced." He explained. "We wanted to run tests on the mother but couldn't, Mackenzie's adopted. We tried finding the birth mother, but she used an alias when she checked in to have the baby. We even talked to some of the nurses who helped her give birth, said she pretty bruised up. Also several scars on her face and abdomen. They said her mother had abused her, they started to ask about the father of the baby but, when they did, she got wound up, screamed saying she wanted to go home. When we hit that road block, we just did everything we could with Mackenzie."
"So your saying that maybe Mackenzie's mother was raped?" Casey asked, trying to fit all the pieces together.
"Most likely yes, in the file are samples of her DNA, maybe if you run it through the system, you could find her mother, talk to her. If you find her, please tell her to come here, if the surgery doesn't work, Mackenzie won't have long to live." He said, and with that walked off.
At the ME's office, Fin came in with the DNA, waking Melinda up.
"What is it that you have to wake me up so early?" She asks, yawning.
"I need you to run the mitochondriac DNA, see if you can get a hit on who a living relative is."
"I thought her parents and brother were killed." Melinda says confused.
"Doc says she's adopted, has cancer, something rare, it's all confusing I'll make a copy real fast of her files and leave it with you." Fin runs and makes a copy of the files, and gives it to Melinda. "Call me when you find somethin'" He says, walking out.
The next morning, actually, the same morning, when there's daylight at least, Mackenzie and Olivia wake up.
"Hey Mackenzie, what do you want for breakfast this morning?" She asks, seeing Mackenzie awake.
"I don't know…I guess pancakes, they're my favorite." She says smiling at Olivia.
Olivia smiles back, saying, "Okay, why don't I take you to the little break room where we eat, I'll get you some orange juice, then do you mind sipping on that while I go get some pancakes." She shakes her head agreeingly and walks with Olivia to break room.
Elliot's in there, pouring himself some coffee, trying to wake up. "Hi Elliot, I'm having pancakes for breakfast." Mackenzie says looking up at him.
He looks over at Olivia, who just shrugs her shoulders. "I'm going to run and get some pancakes, I'll be right back. Do you mind watching here, oh, and can you pour her a glass of orange juice?" She yells back to the room as she grabs her keys and walks out.
She comes back in with pancakes and gives them to Mackenzie, who gladly digs in to eat it. A few minutes later, Cragen walks in, seeing the food.
"Did I miss the memo that someone was bringing breakfast for the squad or what?"
"Mackenzie wanted pancakes so I went and got some." Olivia says calmly as Mackenzie gets up and throws the plastic plate and silverware away.
"Well I can see that Mackenzie has overcome her fear of Elliot, correct me if I'm wrong." Don answers.
"She's fine, she sat here and talked to him while I got the grub." Olivia explained, glad things were turning towards the better.
"Elliot, I got a call from Cathy asking what time to be here. I was surprised she had free time to come down here and interview her. " Don said surprisingly to him. "She forgot to ask you though and I'm wondering the same thing, is Casey okay with this, hopefully the interview won't get thrown out in court."
"Is Casey okay with what?" Casey asked as she walked into the room pouring herself some coffee.
Elliot explained the situation to her. "It would probably work with a few phone calls and a trip to a judge's office."
He nodded then replied, "Here's Cathy's number. She told me she'll be in a meeting all morning and that she could come buy this afternoon. She'll probably want you to call her and confirm everything, we might need to get Huang in here too in case the defense doesn't like the interview. Hopefully by then Mackenzie will be able to talk to him." Casey nodded then turned around as someone else entered the room.
"Get Huang in here to do what?" He asked. She explained everything to him and he agreed.
All was quiet while adults sipped hot coffee filled with caffine and Mackenzie drank orange juice. Suddenly, Fin's phone went off. He left the room and answered it. "Fin."
"Fin, it's Melinda, there's something you should see. Get Casey, get Elliot, Munch, Captain, everybody. Except Olivia tell her not to come, there's something you need to know before we even let her know."
"Melinda, you're scarin' me, wha-, what's goin' on?" He asked worriedly.
"I'll tell you when you get here, just make sure Olivia doesn't come." She said then hung up.
