Chapter 5: Part III- Caught Red-handed
WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 29
OLIVIA'S POV
"Mr. Keller, we found some tapes in your 'workplace,' care to guess what was on them?" Captain Cragen asked, stepping into the Interrogation Room. Wednesday morning was cold, dark, and dreary. Our entire unit had stayed overnight and it was already 3 AM; we had been working without stopping for eighteen hours.
"I have no idea Captain," he replied nonchalantly, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.
"There's no smoking in here Mr. Keller," his lawyer whispered, and Keller quickly put out the flame.
"Underage teenagers engaging in sexual activity! That's what!" Cragen was pissed, hell we were all pissed, however, Keller seemed undisturbed.
"That's bull! All my employees are twenty-one and older!"
"Guess again!" Cragen opened the year book we borrowed from the principal to the page where both Gabbie and Tanya's pictures were.
"No… no… this can't be right! They lied! Those bitches lied to me!"
"Watch your language Mr. Keller! Now, personally I could careless about them lying to you! You still broke the law! We're going to lock you up anyway, so you might as well tell us what happened!"
Elliot, Casey, and I watched through the window as Keller deeply sighed, whispered to his lawyer and turned once again to Cragen, "Tanya, Gabbie, and I were out drinking that night… I left early to work with two actresses, I swear. I didn't kill her… talk to Gabbie, she saw her last!"
"We've talked to Gabbie… she wouldn't tell us anything… but you see what the real problem is here?"
"No…"
"You have a motive…"
"WHAT! I loved Tanya! I cared for her when she ran away! I gave her food, and a roof to live under!"
"Yes… that's true… however, last week you did take her to the doctor's didn't you?"
"Yes… what's your point?"
"Do you remember why you went there?"
Keller sat in silence, "What is Cragen trying to say?" Casey whispered to me, on the other side of the window.
I shrugged, "Evidently the Captain found something before we did…"
"You took Tanya to the doctors where she was tested for AIDS…"
"Yeah so?"
"She was HIV positive… you knew that she was going to ruin your business because of her infection, and that your other employees could also be contaminated, isn't that true!"
"I didn't kill her!"
"Seems like a pretty good reason to kill her wouldn't you say so Detective?" he asked as I walked into the Interrogation Room.
"Elliot and I are going to check out Keller's place… Casey's getting the search warrant as we speak…"
"This place reeks! What is that?" I scrunched up my nose, as I dug through the piles of who-knows-what in Keller's apartment.
"Sweet 'n Sour pork," Elliot responded, holding up a Chinese carton filled with spoiled food.
"Yuck! Did you find anything in this mess?"
"No…not yet…"
I sighed heavily, searching through the heaps of garbage for anything that could possibly help us. God this place is sick, I thought to myself.
Soon after Elliot interrupted my thoughts, "Wait… Liv!"
"What is it?"
"Tanya and Gabbie's fake IDs…"
"Looks like Keller wasn't lying to us…"
"Liv… I think I found something else…"
"Another tape?" I stated flipping it over to read the label, "Gabbie's 1st day?"
"Why wasn't this one with the other ones?"
"I dunno, but we have to find out…"
Elliot pushed the tape into the VCR and within minutes we could see Tanya and other man sitting on the couch.
"I'm gonna be sick…" I whispered, terrified of what could possibly show up on the tape.
Gabbie was standing in the distance, watching Tanya and the man make out on the couch. Tanya pulled away from him and took Gabbie's hand, drawing her to the couch. Gabbie was crying and whispering 'no' as the man reached up under her shirt and unstrapped her bra.
"I've seen enough…" Elliot shut the TV off and we quickly left the room, taking the tape with us and left to go back to the precinct.
We entered the precinct, the entire squad feeling like we were back at square one, and we absolutely hated that feeling. The Captain told us that he had contacted the rest of Byron's staff to inform them that Tanya had been tested HIV positive, and suggested that they all got tests done themselves. It seemed like the only option Elliot and I had was to go back to Gabbie yet again and talk to her about Tanya forcing her into the business. Talking to Gabbie was like going to the dentist, painful, annoying, but nevertheless unavoidable.
"Gabbie…" I started, following the girl into the building and quickly taking her aside before anyone else knew what was going on.
"I told you everything I know already!" she screamed, but neither Elliot nor I seemed to care anymore.
"Gabbie… we know Tanya got you into the business… she got you a fake ID and she brought you down to Byron Keller's without asking you first… Gabbie we…" I tried to sound comforting and understanding, but what was now more than a day of working without sleeping, I sounded agitated and extremely pissed.
"She ruined my life!" Gabbie interrupted before I could finish my statement. "My parents hate me; I spend my nights drunk and high! It's all her fault! I didn't want to hurt her! She messed up everything! I didn't want to kill her! I didn't!" she turned to cry on Elliot's shoulder, but we were no longer in the mood for being compassionate.
I pulled out my handcuffs and strapped them around her wrists. "Gabrielle Adams, you are under arrested for the murder of Tanya Patterson. Anything you say can and will be used in the court of law, you have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford one, one will be given to you.
