Chapter 2
By Demetrius Hit Gravity & BlossomingWords
"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment."
―Sarah Dessen
A/N: Hiya guys! We'd just like to say thanks very much for all of the reviews, we really appreciate it. :)
It was a slow Friday for the 1-6 precinct, and paperwork was the last thing anyone wanted to do.
"This is…" Olivia began throwing her pencil down.
"Pointless?" Amanda finished with a smirk as she closed another manila folder. So far, they had been doing well at hiding their relationship. And if anyone besides them knew, they didn't say anything.
The brunette smiled back and leaned back in her desk chair. She let her chestnut locks flow over her back. Nick and Fin seemed oblivious to a certain pair of blue eyes stuck on Olivia.
"Liv," Cragen said exiting his office. This brought Amanda out of her 'trance'. Olivia sat up in her chair. "A young girl's body was found on Atlantic Ave. CSU and Warner are there now. Rollins, go with."
"Thank god, my fingers were starting to hurt from all that paperwork." The blonde sighed.
The cold air blew hard in the detective's faces as they walked onto the taped off scene. Gennifer's, the name of the bodega where the body had been found was polluted with technicians, uniforms and of course, press.
"What do we have?" The senior detective asked upon reaching Melinda. A young girl who had platinum blonde hair with pink and blue streaks in it lay dead on the ground, her skin paler than what it should be. The sight itself made Amanda frown.
"Female. Probably no older than eighteen. I haven't determined cause of death yet. Possibly hypothermia." Melinda answered standing back to let the detectives take a look.
"She looks like she was dressed for a party. The heels, the dress." Amanda pointed out taking a closer look.
"But that's the strange thing, her nails and teeth are perfect. There are signs of extreme vaginal and anal tearing and trauma." The medical examiner added.
"This girl was a hooker?" Olivia quizzed raising an eyebrow.
"Possibly." Amanda began walking off the crime scene.
"Any ID on her?" Olivia questioned.
Melinda shook her head. "Not that I can find. I'll give you a call when I determine the cause of death."
Olivia nodded her acknowledgement and walked back toward the car where Amanda now stood. The blonde's head was turned and she seemed to be scanning the area.
"Found anything interesting?" Benson asked as she neared her girlfriend. Amanda turned on her heel in order to face the older woman.
"Not really it's just there were a few girls down the end of the road and they took off when they saw us comin'."
"We're cops, they were probably prostitutes Amanda. They don't exactly like us lot poking around." The older woman stroked the blonde's arm and smiled before getting back in the car.
"It's strange though. They all seemed to head to that bar across the road. Maloney's I think it's called." Rollins closed her door and started the engine. "They probably know something about that girl you know?"
Benson smiled and grabbed for the junior detective's hand as they drove back to the precinct. "They know but they'd never tell us, they just forget it ever happened. It's a sad thing to watch, I'll give you that."
"So dinner tonight then? My place?" Rollins inquired as she pressed a button in the elevator.
"What about mine? I'll even cook for you." Olivia brushed a strand of hair to one side before flashing a sexy smile at Amanda.
"You're cooking? Should I be scared?" The younger woman laughed.
Olivia pouted. "I make a mean grilled cheese sandwich!"
Amanda giggled again before leaning over and placing a small kiss on the older woman's plump lips.
The pair stood smiling in the elevator for the duration of their ride before departing into the bullpen where the rest of the squad was waiting. Fin and Nick automatically looked up from their everlasting paper as soon as they walked in.
"Y'all did something…" Amanda said suspicious of the boy's actions.
Nick raised his hands in defence. "Whatever we did, it was all his idea!" He said pointing to Fin across the room.
Fin started shaking his head in mock disappointment. "Always got to be me…"
Olivia chuckled as she headed off to Cragen's office to brief him on the case while Amanda stayed and was looking up missing children within the girl's age and race.
"Hey, Captain-"She stopped dead in her tracks as she opened Cragen's office door.
Why the hell is he here?
She thought about saying it out loud, but it would be best to keep her thoughts to herself for now. Brian turned around in the chair he was seated and looked at Liv with one of his slim ball smiles.
"Well hello to you too, Liv." Brian smirked.
God, what did I ever see in him?
"Brian seems to know our Jane Doe." Cragen cleared his throat, finally speaking and noticing the tension. Oh this was going to fun.
"Does he now?" Benson's answer was short and abrupt. She didn't want him here and she wanted that known.
"I've been undercover Liv, the girl's part of a prostitution ring I've been with. I saw her go out the other night but she never came back, I just thought she'd found a good customer." Brian smiled again, much to the disappointment of Olivia.
"So would you care to tell us what the name of our vic is? Or are you going to drag this out?" The answer was to the point and Brian could only look at Cragen for help.
"Liv, Brian's here to help. We've got him away from the undercover work for a few hours but he's going back soon. He's told us the name of the girl and her pimp but that's not all he's got. Right?" The Captain asked as Cassidy nodded his acknowledgement from his seat.
"So who's that?" Rollins queried as she sat down in her desk. The man in Cragen's office didn't look familiar but Liv seemed to know him.
"That's Cassidy. He was something to do with the squad a while back." Fin answered.
"But why does Liv hate him? It's not like she does that with a lot of people?" Amanda was worried, if Liv was upset about this guy she wanted to know why. She knew the relationship between them was just starting but she was already getting protective.
"Let's just say they didn't part ways very urgh…well."
Amanda didn't like the sound of that. First some stranger turns up and second she finds out Olivia has a secret past with him!
What's next…they have a secret love child or something?
Soon, Cassidy emerged with another one his sleazy smiles, an annoyed Olivia in tow. Amanda cringed slightly when Brian winked at her, which only earned a laugh from Fin.
"Not. Funny." Amanda scoffed. Fin raised his hands in defence with a smile still on his face.
"So, did Cassidy come here just to be an ass or does he have something useful?" Nick asked with all seriousness.
"The girl you found, her name is Charlotte Ezra." Cassidy answered rolling his eyes at the Latino detective.
"Where is she from?" Fin quizzed.
"I'm not sure exactly. But I'd say somewhere around Russia or whatever-stan. And there are a few a faults." Brian shrugged. Everyone looked to him expectantly. "One, I doubt she spoke English. Two, she isn't an American citizen and three, she's a lesbian."
"How do you know that?" Amanda asked, eyebrows raised.
"She always carried this photo around of her and some brunette kissing. Never let anyone touch it. Any other questions detectives?"
I wish I could just kick that stupid smile off his face
Amanda scoffed. Why the hell was he such a sleaze?
"No you're free to leave." Benson glared at him with arms crossed.
"It was good to see you again Liv." Cassidy's last words hung in the air as he noticed the blonde detective eyeing him suspiciously.
It's a pity I can't say the same.
A/N: So what did you think? Leave us a review and let us know what you think will happen between Cassidy and Liv. Or even where you think the Rolivia relationship is going to go. Thanks :)
