Nick, Gail, Dov, Cleo, Traci and Chris sat around for what seamed like hours. Finally walked out to them they all stood up at he walked up to them.

"Ok, they are both in recovery now. The next 48 hrs will tell if they make it or not. They had a lot of damage done to them. For the next 24 hrs we will

be keeping them sedated. You won't be able to talk to them until then." Nick looked over to Dov.

"Umm, well we most likely have a cop outside their doors." Dov stated to the doctor. Nick was walking away to call someone to let them know whats going on.

Nick waited for someone to pick up.

~Observation room~

Sam heard Andy's phone ringing. He looked over at her while she pulled her phone out. She looked down at it and saw it was Nick.

"It's Nick." she answered the phone

"Hey Nick, Whats going on."

"Hey are you with anyone?"

"Umm, yeah I can put you on speaker phone if you want?"

"Yeah that would be good." Andy put him on speaker phone so he can speak to everyone.

"Go a head Nick." Sam said

"Ok, the girls are out but they are going to be sedated for 24 hrs. We won't be able to talk to them until they feel its safe to let them to be awake. They hope

it's only 24hrs."

"Umm, Ok we will send someone over to stand by the door until then. You guys should come back here and change."

"Ok we will." They hung up the phone. Andy looked at Sam trying to figure out what he was thinking. All same did was turn back to the interview room.

~Interview Room~

Jerry and Frank sat across from Anton Hill. He looked smugged look on his face.

" we have found a lot of stuff during are raids on your properties." Jerry started out.

"We already know this Detective." Mr. Hill's lawyers stated to them.

"Ok, Who are the children?" Frank asked him.

"I adopted them about 5 years ago."

"Why." Jerry asked

"Because I made a promise to their mother. I would watch over them until she got clean."

"I see, so just like that you adopt two kids. Where is their mother may I ask."

"I don't know most likely dead some where. She never came back I gave them up to the child serves at one time. I would check on them from time to

time but they were put in homes apart from each other. I couldn't have that so I started the process on adoption them. Just because their mom was

a crack whore, doesn't mean that they should have to live a life of hell."

"Wow, now don't you have a big heart." Jerry stated to him

"Ok since you have a big heart for them. What are you doing with the girls that were locked in the basement?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." had a smug smile on his face. They heard a knock on the door. Frank open up the door when he did

Oliver handed him the pictures of the girls. Frank walked over the table and laied them in front of him.

"Lets see if these help you remember." Frank stated to him. Anton looked over the pictures. His eyes landed on one he smiled big. He wondered

if she was alive or if she was dead.

"I still don't know what you're talking about."

"Well we found a laptop in you that your guy was working on with these girls names and what looks like prices for them." Anton had a flicker of

anger in his eyes when he heard this. Jerry noticed this and looked back to the mirror.

"Just because there was a laptop in my office doesn't mean that I know whats on it. Laptops can be moved just because it was in my office doesn't

mean that it belonged to me. As for finding them in my warehouse I don't know what they are doing there I rarely go there."

"You do realize that since they were on you property that means we can still charge with this." looked over to his lawyer at that moment.

"Well we will see about this. I would like to know is what his bail is going to be so I can get him out of here."

"The Judge isn't giving him bail, for two reason. One, he is a flight risk. For two, 4 of those girls are dead only 2 are barely alive. No judge is going to

give you bail." Jerry stated while standing up.

"Also we found a lot of drugs at the warehouse too. So there is another charge that we will have for you." two officers walked into the room. Jerry and

Frank backed away.

"These nice men are going to give you a ride to prison for now." Frank stated to him. They put hand cuffs on him and walked him out of the room.

When Sam walked out of the observation room. He stood there watching Anton Hill being walked down the with the officers. Steve turned down the hall

toward them.

"I have something for you guys. Well I think i don't get it lets put it that way." Sam looked at Steve like he had grown two heads.

"What are you talking about Steve."

"Well Traci, She had someone run a background check on Isabelle and Josh Hill." Sam still looked confused

"Umm, Ok can you spit it out already?"

"They don't exists. We can't find them in any database."

"What do you mean you can't find them in any databases? They were in child services for a few years from what Anton told us. They should be in the

system." Sam looked at him.

"Well we can't find them."

"Well ok let's get them in here tomorrow and get some more info from them." sam stated.

~Jamie's car~

They walked to the car and got in. Isabelle sat in the back Jamie understood. Josh was in the front seat of the car.

"How are you guys? Are you guys hungry?" He asked while looking at them.

"I am hungry." Isabelle whispered

"Me too."

"Ok well let's go get food." he pulled the car out of the parking lot and went to a dinner that they loved. They got to the dinner and ordered their food to go.

They got back to Jamie's apartment they had rooms there just in case. They eat their food no one said a word. Jamie knew that they saw her picture

but didn't know what to say to them.

"So I already called the school. You guys aren't going to school tomorrow." He looked around at them. He knew they were drained from the day. They

have had a lot thrown at them.

"Well I am to go do some work. I'll be back later." Jamie walked out of the apartment leaving them alone. Isabelle looked up at Josh was pushing his

food around his plate.

"Her picture was on that board Josh."

"Yeah I know." Josh looked up at his sister.

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know Isabelle. I wish I knew."

"Josh. This isn't good."

"I know. believe I know. Look we should get some sleep." Isabelle shook her head no.

"Ok how about we watch some T.V." She nodded yes. They walked to the T.V. room and turned on the tv. They relaxed on the couch. After a little

bit they soon feel asleep.
