A/N: Hi everyone, I know it's been a while since I updated but I've been really busy. I hope you enjoy this update, I do need to point out however, a DNA comparison usually takes between 5 – 10 days to get a match. For the purpose of this chapter I needed to hurry things along. As always, please review if you get a chance, I really do appreciate reading your reviews, and I do read them all and try to build upon my writing by what you've said.

If I wasn't a cop I'd have been put in jail for the amount of red lights and stop signs I jumped on my way to work. I could see Alex holding onto her seat as I forced the Crown Vic around tight corners, I felt her hand touch my leg and just rest there for a while, that seemed to calm me down, but as soon as I was parked up, I was gone leaving Alex outside. I rushed into Cragen's office without knocking.
"Sir, I really need to talk to you." I blurted.

"Can this wait?" he asked, I saw Elliot sitting in the chair facing Cragen. "No sir, it can't. I need to speak to you, privately."

"We'll continue this talk later Elliot." Cragen said, Elliot pushed passed me to get out. "What is it Olivia?" he asked me.

I could tell he wasn't pleased with me barging in on him like this, but I had to tell him. "Sir, this is a long story, honestly I don't know where to start."

"The beginning is always a good place." he remarked.

I took in a deep breath and let it out, "You know the case Amaro handed over to me, the Parks' case." I saw Cragen nod and continued, "I went to her house with Alex, I took her statement all protocol, nothing out of the ordinary, but as we're leaving I see these baby photos. The photos are of me, when I was a baby."

"Are you sure it's you?"

"Damn sure!" I spat, "Alex took me home, I dug out the shoe box full of photos that my mom used to keep, and there they were, identical photos. Sir, Mrs Parks has photos of me, I tried to let it go and continue her case, ignoring the fact she could be a creepy stalker, I didn't let my mind run away with me. That night a girl came to my apartment, her name was Marni."

I saw the look in Cragen's eyes and instantly felt my stomach drop two floors; I should have told him all of this a lot sooner, "The same Marni who was found dead outside your apartment?"

"Yes." I nodded, this time taking the time to slow down and not ramble at him. "Marni had a rare medical condition, when she came to my apartment she had been physically abused. She was bleeding so I patched her up. Only, she wasn't at my door by chance, she had a message for me from Mrs Parks." I'd rambled so much I'd almost forgotten my emotions in this whole thing, then all at once they burst into action like fireworks on the fourth of July. Tears built up in my eyes and spilled down my face, "Marni told me Mrs Parks is my mother. My biological mother, I asked her questions but she didn't know anything. So I went to Parks' house, I confronted her and she told me straight, she was my mom." I looked at my Captain who looked a slightly overwhelmed but I wasn't finished. "She told me she was raped, that I was her daughter, but after a few hours of me being born, my mom, Serena stole me from the hospital and only sent photos of me. That's how she has them."

Cragen frowned, I gave him a second to think and process, "Did she give you any other proof other than the photos that she was or is your mom?"

"She gave me a vile of her blood, but I didn't do anything with it..." After the last time I tested my blood and found my brother and taken a ball bashing for it, I didn't plan on doing it again.

"You should have come to me sooner Olivia. Is that everything?"

"Not quite..." I paused, "Marni slipped this letter under my door, it explains a lot more than I ever thought it would." I gave the note to Cragen and sat in silence listening to my heart racing whilst he read it.

"You trust this girl?"

"I do, she had no reason to lie to me. She warned me about Parks and she died trying to give me this letter. Sir, if I can pull up the bank security footage from yesterday, I can find the girls she's talking about and I can get a location for the trafficking."

"Do it." He said handing me back the letter that sat in an evidence bag. "But Olivia, be careful. I'm assuming you came to me because you're worried this woman is going to implicate you in this some how. I want you to take Rollins with you. Be smart about this!"

"I will." I stood up and as I was about to leave, I heard Cragen call me again.

"Test the blood Olivia. You need to know if this woman is telling the truth, and if she is, you need to be very careful."

I nodded, "I know." I walked out of the office and saw a very pissed off Alex. I looked at her and she saw the tears in my eyes, "I'm sorry." I said looking deep into her eyes. I could see she was speechless, "Alex I'm sorry, I got so caught up in filling in Cragen I didn't wait for you and I should have. I don't have an excuse or a reason, I just did it. It was an impulse."

Alex sighed, "You're a determined person Olivia."

That was all she managed, "I know, but it doesn't excuse the fact I ran from you like you had the plague. I should have walked in with you."

My gut seemed to fall another two floors, "You're not the one who got shut out, literally and metaphorically. I had to wait out here with Elliot shooting daggers at me." she took a deep frustrated breath in, "Liv, I don't know if you want to call yourself my girlfriend, but that's what I think of us. No matter what you're feeling, we're going through this together, we both lost Marni and we're both going to deal with Parks together, not only because we're working the case together, but because I'll never let anything happen to the person I love. Just please don't shut me out again."

"I promise." And I meant it, in both sense of the word. I saw the tension in Alex lift and saw her small smile. I think I'm forgiven.

"So what did Cragen say?"

"He told me to test my blood."

Alex looked taken aback, "He wants you to?"

"Yeah, he's partnering me with Rollins now. He was talking to Elliot when I burst in, he gave me the cold shoulder." I looked at Elliot who had security tapes on his desk, "I'm guessing he saw us, and went in blazing."

Alex nodded, "He was always a bit of a hot head. So what else did Cragen say?"

I've got the go ahead to get the tapes from the bank, then all I have to do is track down the girls, the location, form a plan of action and get it right."

"So where do we start?" Alex said with a smile.

"Rollins." I shouted catching Elliot's attention too, I ignored him as she walked over. "You're with me today."

I pulled up to the Bank of America on 2nd Avenue, I parked the car and got out with Alex and Amanda. All three of us walked into the bank, it was busy as always. I flashed my badge to find the bank manager, once I found him we were all taken to his office.

"Thanks for seeing us, I know you're busy. I'm Detective Benson, this is Detective Rollins and ADA Alex Cabot."

"Detectives, how can I help you?" he asked sitting down.

"We need to view your security footage from yesterday." I told him.

"I'm guessing you have a warrant, that's why the ADA is here." Tom Dight said. He stood up in his suit, picked up his phone and rearranged himself comfortably on the edge of his desk. "Get me all the tapes from yesterday, bring them to me ten minutes ago." he demanded. He looked at us, "If you don't put your foot down with these guys, you don't get anything done."

I nodded and forced a smile; "Thanks."

It took twenty minutes to get the tapes we needed, with a very awkward goodbye we all left. I looked at Alex, "It turns out having you around has a lot of benefits." I smiled and she flashed me one of her amazing smiles.

"Did anyone else get the creeps from that guy?" Amanda asked as she walked out with the tapes in her arms.

"Yeah, just a bit." I said. We all got back in the car and drove back to the one – six. I sat down at my desk with Alex and started watching the tapes from one P.M. Amanda was searching everything she could on Parks. An hour later, both me and Alex spotted Marni on the tape.

"There." Alex said pointing to the screen.

Then something caught both of our attention, Marni was signalling to the camera. "Two." I said out loud.

"Two girls?" Alex said, the only problem was, there were lots of girls in the bank.

"Two O Clock." I blurted, my attention turned to two girls watching Marni. "There, that's them." I zoomed in and took captures of their faces. We need to find these girls, we find these girls and we find the location.

"Have you run your blood yet?" Alex asked me nervously.

"No, I was going to run it down before we went out, but I got caught up." I shook my head, "I'm making excuses again." I picked myself up and hauled my ass down to Warner. I knocked on the door and slipped my head around.

"Come in." Melinda called out.

"Hi." I said breezing in.

"What can I do for you Olivia?" she asked me.

"I have some blood I need run for Cragen."

"He too busy to show his face?" Warner smiled softly.

"It's my blood, well, it's something to do with me. It needs to be kept quiet."

"Can I ask what it's about?" Melinda put down her knife and looked at me.

"A woman is claiming to be my mom, I need to know if she is or not. It goes a lot deeper than blood this time, I need it to be negative."

"What's going on?" Melinda asked even more concerned, "You need to talk to me Liv."

I didn't, I didn't have to say anything at all, but I wanted to. I wanted to scream everything to anyone who would listen, just so enough people would know I'm not involved, in anything. "The woman claiming to be my mom gave me her blood as proof, she's involved in some pretty nasty things by the sound of it and I'm worried she's going to try and implicate me."

"Implicate you how?" Warner said taking the vile of blood from me, she did everything she needed to prepping the blood, she pulled up my DNA profile, then waited.

"I don't know how she can implicate me, but I need to cover all bases." I looked at Melinda, "This needs to stay as quiet and in house as possible."

"I'm not going to say anything." The testing machine started bleeping, "She's in our system already."

"So she can't be my mom."

"How'd you figure that?"

"Because I used to the lab to test my DNA to find my father, and I found a brother. I got all the DNA compared to mine. Parks didn't come up at all." I felt the biggest relief I'd felt for days.

"Olivia, Lillian Parks is your biological mother."
