Olivia's POV.
"Liv." Detective Nick Amaro shouted across the squad room. "Can I speak to you in private for a moment?
"Sure thing." I replied.
Sky was chilling in the squad room before she went to meet her best friend. She loved it here, the whole team loved her. We were all a big family.
Me and Nick went into an empty interrogation room.
"We've got a bad case that needs investigating. I didn't want to talk about it with Sky there." Nick said, a serious look on his face.
"Okay, what's happened?"
"Suspected sex traffickers. 5 girls between the ages of 14-16 years have gone missing. Local police have searched their computers and found they all had been communicating with lads online."
"Are they not sure there not just lads?"
"No, they were all traced back. The lads don't exist."
I gave him a worried glare. We hadn't dealt with a sex traffickers ring for a while. They were all horrific cases to deal with and always really affected me.
"There are no leads at the moment. The tech teams are working around the clock, I just wanted to get you up to speed." Nick told me.
I nodded and walked out the room.
Sky and Fin were in the middle of a cookie war.
"Hey! That got my head!" Sky shouted, laughing. She threw one back at Fin and it hit him in the eye.
"Ouch!" Fin cried.
Sky burst into fits of giggles and Fin gave her a dirty look.
"I'll get you back for that, trouble!"
Sky turned around, noticing me.
"Oh Mom, i'm off to meet Beks now. I was just tormenting Uncle Fin while I was waiting for you."
"Ok baby. See you at home. No later than 8 okay sweetie."
Sky slung her bag over her shoulder and waved goodbye.
Sky's POV.
I loved Mom's work friends. We were just one big family. I knew if I ever had a problem, they'd all be there for me. I felt like I was walking on cloud 9. A boy was interested in me, I couldn't wait to tell Beks. I walked 3 blocks to the cafe where I was meeting Beks and went in.
"Can I have a Mocha please?" I asked the barista, handing over the money. I was stood waiting for my drink when my best friend Beks walked in.
"Hey babe." She said, giving me a hug.
"Hey. I've already ordered. I'll go get us a table." I said, grabbing my drink and heading over to a table in the corner.
5 minutes later Beks came over and sat down, throwing her bag under the table.
"Oh man, I've missed you." Beks said, taking a sip from her hot drink.
"It's only been a week." I laughed.
"Yeah, I know that. But that's ages."
"So what's been happening in your life this week?"
"Oh nothing. Damien's been a prick but that's nothing new. He keeps telling me he loves me and then texting other girls."
Damien was Beks 18 year old boy friend. They'd been together for nearly 2 years.
"I told you last week, you should dump him. He's no good for you! You don't deserve to be treated like that!"
"Yeah! But I love him."
I'd had this conversation with her so many times, she just didn't learn. I just had to let her find out for herself that he was no good.
"Well, guess what?!" I said, excitedly.
"What?"
"I met a boy."
"Ooooooooo, where?" She said, putting her head in her hands and leaning closer to me.
"Online. He sent me a message last night asking if I could be the one."
Beks squealed. "How exciting! When you gonna meet him in real life?!"
"Well, I was gonna just get to know him online first."
"Oh no Sky! You gotta get in there!"
I squirmed uncomfortably. I know what she's saying and I definetly want to meet him but I'm such a nervous person. My Mom would kill me for a start. Would he even still like me in real life?
"Maybe I should." I said, smiling.
"You go girl!"
"Look I've gotta go. Mom wants me back before 8."
"Sure thing. Same time next week? and don't forget to email. Let me know how it goes." She winked at me.
"Sure I will."
I got up, threw my empty coffee up in the bin and set off for home.
