CHAPTER 5

*disclaimer totally made up Callie's sisters names*

As they walked into the room, all they could hear was the beeping of the machines. Callie saw her sister, so helpless. She walked up to the bed and grabbed her hand and she began to weep. Addison walked up behind Callie and rubbed her shoulders. She decided to give them some privacy.

Callie could barely see, the tears were flowing so strong. She felt weak, and every emotion was running through her.

C: [ to her sister ] I'm so sorry Cinda. I wasn't there for you when you needed someone. I promise from this day forward I will be there, and I'm going to find the bastard who did this to you.

Callie gently wiped the tears from her eyes. She then heard a knock on the door. In walked this tall woman, with medium brown hair. She was wearing skin-tight blue jeans along with a skin-tight, long-sleeved black shirt.

Woman: Hi, may I come in?

Callie: Yes, can I help you?

Woman: Ms. Torres I'm Detective Olivia Benson, and I'm working on your sisters case. Can I ask you a couple of questions?

C: Um, sure, yeah go ahead.

O: Where were you this morning between 7-10am?

C: Um, I was here working.

O: Ok, can you think of anyone your sister had contact with who might want to hurt her?
C: No, um not here she doesn't even live here.

O: So there's no one here that you know of?

C: No. Do you have any leads?

O: At the moment, we don't but we are working hard to find your sisters attacker.

C: Wait, uh attacker? She was assaulted too?

O: We ran a rape kit when she was brought into the hospital and it was positive, however the hospital cannot release it without her consent. Which leaves us at square one.

C: I see. Well, I want to help find who did this.

O: What we need you to do is find anyone who your sister knew who could possibly harm her, then we'll go from there.

C: Ok.

Olivia turned and headed towards the door, but before she left she turned around to Callie.

O: Ms. Torres--

C: Callie.

O: Callie, here's my card. If there is anything I can do for you just call me.

C: Ok.

Callie sat back beside her sisters bed. She began calling her family informing them of what happened, and asking for information. After about two hours, Addison came back. Addison was not sure of what to do, she sat in the chair across the room. Callie nodded to her to let her know she knew she was in the room. She finished up her phone call.

C: [ big sigh ] Hey, it's late you should get home.

A: No it's ok, I want to stay here with you.

C: So, this detective came to see me a couple of hours ago and asked me if I knew anyone who wanted to hurt my sister. This is just a lot to take in, in one day.

A: Maybe you should get some rest, you've been up all day.

C: I can't leave.

A: Ok, well I'll bring you some things from your apartment then.

Callie nodded. Addison got up and walked over to Callie. She then embraced her and kissed her on the forehead.

A: I'll be back.

Callie called another family member, one of her other sisters.

C: Lucia--

Lucia: I heard. How is she? The baby?

C: Everything is fine. I'm sitting with her at the hospital right now. The baby is ok, she's ok, everything is ok right now. But I need to ask you a question.

L: What?
C: Do you know where Dominic is?

L: Shit Callie, you don't think that asshole did this do you?

C: I don't know. The police where in here asking questions but I didn't say anything because Jacinda hasn't mentioned him in a couple of months.

L: She broke up with that loser.

C: She did.

L: Yeah about 3 months ago, she caught him cheating, dumped him. She came to me in tears saying it was over for good and she never wanted to see him again.

C: Oh my God. She told me he disappeared.

L: She lied. He cheated. It was bad, he started stalking her and wouldn't leave her alone. He was even calling me asking for her. When the police couldn't protect her, that's when she decided to move in with you.

C: Do you think he knew she was here?
L: Shit, I don't know. The only people she told were family.

C: Have you heard from him recently? Within the last couple of days?
L: Oh my God... no. Last time he called me was a week ago.

C: Ok, I have to tell the police. Thanks hermana, te amo, ciao.

Callie hung up the phone, and then pulled out the card Olivia had given her. She called... After she called Det. Benson, she walked out into the hallway. She decided to catch up on some paperwork while she waited for Olivia to show up. About 45 minutes later Olivia walked up to Callie sitting at a desk.

O: Callie, I came as soon as I could. What is it?

C: I think I might know who it is.

O: You do? Ok, tell me everything.

Callie told Olivia everything her sister, Lucia had told her. Callie wanted to help the detective, but Olivia was not too sure about it.

C: Please, you have to let me help you find him.

O: Callie, it could be too dangerous. Besides, you should be here with your sister and niece. I promise I will call you the second I find out anything new.

Olivia walked away, pulling out her cell phone and she walked down the hall. Callie could not stand sitting around waiting, she wanted to do something. So she followed the detective to her car. As they got outside and into the parking lot, Olivia felt a presence behind her. She stopped and turned around.

O: Callie, are you following me?

C: Detective Benson--

O: Olivia

C: Olivia, you have to let me do something. I can't sit around waiting it's going to drive me crazy I know it.

O: [ long pause ] Ok. You can ride along but we need a couple of rules. You stay behind me at all times. If I tell you to do something you need to do it, and do not get out of the car unless I tell you.

C: Ok, I can do that.

Olivia escorted Callie to the passenger side of the squad car, and then got in herself.
