Chapter 23-Just A Kid
Bobby was sitting in a chair next to Alex's body in the ME's office. He was holding her hand and crying.
Melinda walked outside and met Olivia and Elliot. "The tests came back positive for fluids but the guy isn't in the system," she said sorrowfully.
"Ok well at least we have some what of a start. Where is her brother?" Olivia said as she looked in at Bobby.
"He went to tell the rest of the family."
"How is Detective Goren?" Elliot said putting a hand on Olivia's shoulder.
"He is still in shock at the whole ordeal. He just lost his partner and best friend. Now he has the grueling task of telling their Captain. It is just sad to see a fellow officer go in such a violent way."
"Did Eames have any enemies that may have done this?" Olivia said looking back to Melinda.
"She was a cop like you. She probably had so many people that hated her that it is pointless to look up everyone," Melinda said shaking her head.
"This is particularly violent crime towards someone in the Major Case Squad," Elliot pointed out as he looked in on Bobby.
Bobby got up from his chair and kissed Alex on the forehead. He squeezed her hand one last time and then covered her with the sheet. He walked out of the room with his head hanging.
"Detective…" Olivia put her hand on his shoulder.
"Please call me Bobby. We are all allies here," Bobby said with a sigh.
"Does she have any family around here besides her brother?"
"Her brother went upstate to talk to her parents but her daughter…Oh-My-God, no." Bobby sat down and began to cry again. "She is staying with her dad this weekend and she hasn't been told."
"We will have them informed," Elliot reassured Bobby.
"Thank you," Bobby said as he got up and left.
Melinda looked at the two detectives.
"There is something you weren't telling us when he was here Melinda. What's up?" Olivia said looking at Melinda.
"It was a kid who raped her," she said looking at the chart. "There was not much sperm aside which says that he probably hadn't hit puberty yet or is an adolescent."
"Ok so we are looking for a teen?" Olivia said questioningly.
"Yes," Melinda said as she went back into her office.
