Hello Peps! Thanks so so much for the reviews! They mean the world to me! I noticed I had just a couple tiny mistakes in the last chapter (sorry guys, I'm still learning) but I promise I'll try and keep mistakes out. Also, who all likes the Rollisi going on, huh? ;) Okay guys... ONWARD TO CHAPTER TWO!
Olivia made it to the precinct not long after Carisi and Amanda made it back from the Rosenberry household. She had on sunglasses to hide her tired and baggy eyes from her co-workers, though she knew she would have to take them off sooner or later. She thought about what her old commanding office, Captain Cragen, would say if he caught her wearing them. She smiled, remembering the father-like figure he was to her.
She stepped off the elevator and into her workplace, walking herself straight to the coffee machine. As she poured herself a ready-made cup, she glanced over the the table where they had Dodds' going away party. The sign saying "Congratulations, Sergeant Dodds" was still hanging there. Nobody bothered to take it down after the incident occured.
Amanda walked in the break-room. "Lieutenant, we found some stuff on..." She paused when she noticed Olivia's glasses and spoke softer. "Liv, are you okay?"
Liv sighed, knowing her cover was broken. She took off her sunglasses, revealing her tired, worn-out eyes. "Ya, I'm okay...just...just didn't get much sleep last night." She smiled slighty.
"Oh, Okay?" Amanda replied a little confused. "Are you sure you're feeling up to it today?"
Olivia nodded her head. "Yes, Amanda, I'll be fine." she lied. She cleared her thoat before asking, "So, what were you saying about the stuff you found?"
The two ladies walked out of the breakroom and into the main office and was met by Carisi as he spoke. "Well it's not much but it's something. Richard Rosenberry, our main suspect, was caught three years ago trying to assault a sixteen year old girl. He didn't get far before the cops got him..." He pulled up the mugshot picture of Richard Rosenberry. He had a ruffy beard and ruffy hair, and his grey eyes screamed with anger and insanity. "The girl didn't want to testify so the charges were dropped."
"Wait a minute... he tried to assault a teenage girl and he has custody of his teenage daughter?" Olivia asked furious. "Where's the mother?"
Amanda spoke as she sat down in the chair in front of them. "The mom, Vicki Thorton, is an alcoholic." She pulled up another mugshot, this time a woman with a messy ponytail and messy make-up. "She had custody of both children after her divorce from Richard back in 2005, but lost custody three years later after getting multiple DUI's and contantly leaving her children unattended at home. Richard got custody of the two kids."
Carisi furrowed his eyebrows. "Mrs. Harper only mentioned the girl. She never mentioned another child."
It was Olivia's turn to be confused. "Mrs. Harper?" she questioned.
"She was the lady who called to complain." Amanda explained as Olivia nodded. "and the other child, Stevie Rosenberry," She pulled up once again, another mugshot of a blonde teenager with a strong jawline. "Stevie was found in possesion of marijuana and heroine back in 2012 when he was sixteen. He was sent to rehab and he hasn't had much trouble since."
"Looks like this whole family has been in trouble." Olivia pointed out. "What about the girl? Has she gotten into trouble before?"
Carisi shook his head. "Delaney Rosenberry, she's got the cleanest record. No assults, no play-ground fist fights; she wouldn't hurt a fly. She's the one that opened the door when we went there. She had a suspicious nosebleed..."
Amanda interupted Carisi's rambling. "Her record might be clean, but her mental health isn't." She pulled up some medical records. "She was diagnosed with anxiety and depression two years ago and was diagnosed as borderline bipolar a couple months ago." She clicked a couple icons before pulling up a picture of Delaney from her Facebook. Now all four of the family memebers pictures were on screen.
Olivia took a good, long look at the photos. A broken family; three mugshots and a mentally ill daughter. A no-good father, an alcoholic mother, and a former drug addit brother. That poor girl had a troublesome life. She took a better look at Delaney's picture. Filtered black-and-white, Delaney stood next to a tree, most likely in the park. She was looking at the camera, but she didn't smile. Olivia could see the pain in her eyes. She knew those eyes all too well. Those were the same eyes Cheif Dodds' had when his son died. Everything about Dodds' replayed in her head.
"Hey Liv!" The sound of her name broke her thoughts. She looked over as her second in command, long time friend Fin Tutuola. "We just got a call from the hospital. Victim came in about fifteen minutes ago beaten and bloody."
Carisi and Amanda looked up at Olivia who let out a breath. "Alright, Fin, you and I will go down to the hospital." She pointed at Carisi and Amanda. "Rollins, Carisi, keep working on the Rosenberry case. See if you can find anything else on that father."
"Copy that," Amanda and Carisi said in unison as Benson followed Fin to the elevator.
Once Olivia and Fin had left, Carisi turned to Amanda. "Hey," Amanda looked up at him as he spoke. "How are you feeling?"
She pointed to herself. "Me?" She scoffed. "I'm... I'm fine. I'm okay. I'm doing just fine." She dragged out nervously. She played with a piece of her hair, keeping her emotions in tact and under control. She smiled at him.
Carisis smiled. "Hey, that's good! That's good, that's good!" He repeated. He wished so badly that he could sweep her off her feet, take her into the crib and kiss her forever. He loved her and he loved Jesse. In his eyes, that was his daughter. "How's little Jesse doing?"
"Jesse, she's doing really good. She's just a happy little baby." Amanda laughed. "Every time she smiles or laughs it just... melts my heart." She felt wetness in the corner of her eye, but blinked them back.
"That's wonderful. I love that little one so much." Carisi stated. He cleared his throat. "Alright, let's hop back on this case." He pointed at the screen so she was distracted, and placed a kiss right on top of Amanda's head.
She felt her heart pound as her body exploded with love. Her eyes widened in suprise as she felt his hand go on her shoulder. She tried to keep it subtle, but her heavy breathing over-took that ability. She nodded her head. "Yeah," she breathed. "Let's get back... to the case."
"Victim came in about thirty minutes ago," The red-headed nurse explained to the two cops as they walked down the hospital halls. "Her name is Jamie Young, she's twenty-five. She had cuts and bruises on her face, chest, and arms."
"Did you preform a rape-kit?" Olivia asked.
"We did, we found evidence of truama, but sadly, no DNA." The nurse replied. She gestered towards the door when they finally reached it. "She's right in there."
"Thank you, nurse." Olivia said to the nurse. She looked over at Fin before gentally opening up the door. The victim layed in bed. Her blonde hair in a mess, her left eye black and swollen, her lip bloody, cuts and bruises all over her body. She looked over at the two cops. Olivia put on a fake smile. "Hi Jamie," She spoke softly. "I'm Lieutenant Benson, and this is Detective Tutuola, we're here to help you."
"Okay," Jamie replied soft as silk. She crossed her arms as if she were to cover herself from the shame.
"So, Jamie, why don't you start off by telling us what happened." Fin said.
She took a deep breath. "I was over at my boyfriends friends apartment, and we were just hanging out, having a few drinks. My boyfriend had to leave for work, he works at a convenient store, but I stayed 'cause I wanted some more to drink. Then his friend comes out, and he starts flirting with me. I just thought he was being friendly, but then he gave me a shoulder massage, and he went to far..." She started to whimper as she recalled her horrific experience. "Then he... he... oh jeez!" She then started to full-out cry. "I'm so sorry."
Olivia felt sympathetic for the girl. "It's okay, it's okay, Jamie. You don't need to apologize. None of this is your fault." She tilted her head a bit as Jamie started to calm down.
Jamie continued to speak. "I was on the couch in the living room when it happened. Then his daughter comes out of her room, and starts screaming at us to stop. He then hits her in the face as her nose starts to bleed. They started fighting as I got up and left."
Olivia thought back to what Carisi said about Delaney, and how she had a nosebleed when she opened the door. "Jamie, what's you're boyfriends name?"
Jamie started shaking. "Why, you're not going to tell him, are you? He'll kill me for ratting out his best friend!"
"Woah woah woah!" Fin tried calming her down. "It's okay, we're not going to say anything just yet, we just need to know his name."
Jamie sighed. "Samuel Wooden, he's fifteen years older than me. He works at that 'Lucky Duck' convinent store in Brooklyn, and he doesn't get off till tonight."
"Okay Jamie," Olivia said slowly. "What's the name of the man who attacked you?"
Jamie swallowed down the bile in her throat and closed her eyes to hide the tears. She begged in her mind that Samuel would forgive her for telling the police for what he did to her. That was his best friend, after all. The tears fell down her face as she tried to speak.
"Jamie," Olivia begged politely. "We really need to know who did this, so we can get him off the street and bring him to justice."
Jamie breathed loudly as she cried out his name. "Richard Rosenberry!"
OOO! How 'bout that ending though? Who saw it coming? And how about that BIG Rollisi moment? I CAN'T HANDLE THE LEVEL OF ADORABLE! Anyway I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and how this story is going so far! I love to read you guy's reviews! It just makes my day! See you all in the next chapter.
