Out in the Squad room
Olivia walked in with a file and a bottle of water.
"Sgt Benson" the desk sgt said to get her attention.
"What is it? Where is everyone?"
"Nick & Amanda got a case. Fin's in the interview room with your visitor."
"okay i'll just put this down & join them".
There was a knock on the door that caused fin to turn and see his boss standing at the door.
"Olivia come in. Liv this is Harley, she's come to talk to you"
"Nice to meet you"
"I'll take Ollie with me and let you women talk." He said reaching for the nappy bag and walked out smiling.
"So Harley how can i help you?"
"Before i tell you why i'm here, i have to say something"
"Okay"
"I know a secret that you have been keeping from everyone!"
"oh yes and what secret may that be?"
"That you and Brian Leonardo Cassidy have been married for 15 years"
"Now how did you know that?!Only his family and my mother knew"
"Let's just say i'm tight with Baby Cassidy"
"You're friends with Christian Cassidy"
"yeah Chris is mine & Jack's best friend. We all went to the same school"
"Okay so who is Ollie to you?"
"He's mine & Jack's son. Fin's godson, Fin has helped me out a lot while Chris is away. He's been at all my appointments with me & Ollie's birth. He was a lot more supportive than my parents and Chris's guardian/ older brother was."
"Okay so the reason you insisted to seen me!"
Harley put her hand on the folder and looked at Olivia.
"My lawyer said that you would probably be the best person to talk to"
"Has someone been hurting you?"
"No. When i turned 18 my parents told me i was adopted. They handed me my birth certificate and wished me good luck. Over the last few year i have tracked down my birth mother's birth & death certificate. I took it to Trevor today and he told me i should come see you" with that she handed over the folder.
Olivia opened the folder to find a photo of her mother & a baby, written underneath Serena Benson & Baby Girl Benson. April 6th 1994.
Next she found Harley's birth certificate.
