Billie was not happy when she came to pick the boys up. Van could tell she was yelling at him but he seemed not to hear her. All he could think about was Sophia. Meeting her, talking to her, making love with her...and killing her. The girl in the back seat was 15. The timeline fit...but it couldn't be... Van had to find out. When they got back to the candy store Van picked up a hair from the back seat and then pulled out one of his own. He put the two hairs in an envelope for DNA. The kid was in the integration room.
"So how close were you and Sophia?" Billie said in a knowing voice.
Van turned and gave Deaq a look. Deaq put his hands in his pockets and looked away like he knew nothing of Van's look. Van sighed and turned back to look at Billie.
"I gotta know" Van said.
Billie nodded, "as long as you can be professional and still remember we have a case at hand." And with that she handed him a file. Van took it.
"Thanks boss" he said.
Van walked into the integration room and sat down acrossed from the teen. The girl eyed him as he sat down. She didn't seem to be phased at all.
"What's your name?" Van asked.
The girl did not answer, only raised her chin slightly and hardened her look. That's when Van tried to play hard ball with the girl. He demanded answers and yelled and hollered his questions. The girl didn't breathe a word. Her face was like a stone. Van heard a knock on the window, closed his eyes and sighed, picked up his file and walked out.
"I'm sorry!" He half yelled as he came in.
Billie shook her head.
"You have no Idea how to handle a child do you" Bille said more as a statement then a question.
Van gave her a look and Bille rolled her eyes, picked up a bag that was on the floor, and walked in the room.
Bille sat down acrossed from the girl and opened the bag, placing in front of her a milkshake. Bille then leaned forward and un-cuffed her. The girl gave her a look of questioned.
"I'm Billie," Billie said.
The girl cocked her head slightly to the side and her faced softened a little.
"Is that chocolate?" The girl asked.
Billie smiled and nodded. The girl smiled back, reached acrossed the table and grabbed the shake.
"So what's your name?" Billie asked.
"Charlotte. Charlotte Jones" Charlotte said.
"How old are you?" Bille asked.
"15" Charlotte answered, "these are the questions you wanna ask me?"
Billi nodded, "for now."
Charlotte sipped her milkshake.
"Where are you parents?" Billie asked.
"My mom was killed..shot.. and I never met my dad. I don't even know his name. My mom told me he was a cop though... which is kinda of funny." Charlotte said sarcastically.
"Why do you say that?" Billie asked leaning forward.
"Because my mother was killed by a cop. I was there.. I saw it... I was five years old." Charlotte said.
Behind the glass Van watched. And when he heard that his heart sank.
