Chapter 13

Elleiot resisted the urge to punch his hand through the wall as he paced the room waiting for Olivia. He had been taken in by these people. He had found himself liking them, thinking they just wanted to help people.

"I found the scam." Olivia said walking into the bedroom. She could see the anger etched in Elliots's features. He had been so caught up in whatever was making him mad he hadn't heard her come in. "What happened?"

"You first." Elliot said taking a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

"This magic treatment they're shipping the women to Mexico for is birth control." Olivia said rolling her eyes. It had really pissed her off the way Dr. White had talked down to her. Maybe the other women were to desperate for a child that they could be taken in my the Thornley's, but she wasn't that naive.

"They don't want these women to ever get pregnant. They want them to adopt from Mexico."

"And while the women are off with Dr. White, their husbands are having sex with young Mexican women Robert has sent to their rooms." Elliot said with disgust.

"What?"

"Sweet little Robyn's husband was feeling chatty, told me all about it."

"That ex member must have clued in and tipped us off." Olvia sighed. "She was trying to have a baby and her husband was cheating on her."

"With a baby." Elliot said feeling his anger rise.

"When you say young." Olivia said biting her lip. "How young?"

"Greg didn't give ages, but said they were young hut experienced." Elliot said his voice dripping withdisgust. "Robert has them tested, and I'm assuming given the same birth control. Greg said precautions were being taken."

"Olivia looked at the pamlet in her hand. "Maybe not."

"What do you mean?"

"Thre has to be a reason for the push to adopt from Mexico."

"You mean..."

"These people are adopting their own children."

"We have to call Cragen." Olivia said.

"And we need proof." Elliot sighed. "This is just a hunch."

Olivia shook her head. "No. We were wrong before. We're on the right track this time." She couldn't believe they had both been taken in by these people, and had almost dropped the case. She wanted to bust the Thornley's for taking advantage of some many women in America and Mexico, they fact they had duped her just added an extra insendtive.

"We'll have Cragen talk to Alex. We might have enough for a warrant. We need to get into those locked rooms."

Olivia grabbed her coat. "Well let's go."
