A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for all the reviews we've had so far. We hope you like our next instalment and if you haven't already please go and check out our other Rolivia story (Something Wicked).
Captain Cragen let out an aggravated sigh at the two first grade officers in front of him. The two officers looked back and forth between each other, each knowing they were about to face the wrath of Cragen.
"What do you mean, you lost Asanti?"
The female officer decided to answer. "We went to take her to the cage, the door was open and she was gone."
Cragen cursed to himself silently. "Find her. Now."
The detectives stood behind him let off different responses, Fin rolled his eyes, Amaro threw his manila folders on to his desk, Liv threw her hands up in the air and Rollins shook her head.
"You don't just lose someone!" Liv was angry to say the least, being tied up was one thing but losing a key suspect to a murder was another.
"Rookies. When are they ever good for anything?" Amaro interjected.
"She can't have got far? And anyway doesn't this just make her and her sister look a whole lot more guilty?" Amanda asked as she eyed her girlfriend. Liv looked stressed or upset, Rollins couldn't quite tell.
"I don't think being caught is one of her biggest problems right now. She's either running from someone besides us, or she really is guilty of something." Fin added in.
"Well then, where did she go?" Olivia asked to no one in particular. The group of detectives diminished from their little circle, leaving Olivia to turn around and face a tall woman. After noticing the facial similarities between Asanti and the woman in front of her, Olivia realized this was Asanti's sister.
"Excuse me? Are you Detective Benson? The officers downstairs told me to go to Special Victims. Is everything okay?" The raven haired woman asked immediately.
"You must be Asanti's sister, correct?" The senior detective asked holding her hand out to shake the younger woman's.
"Yes. Taja Rosyara. Pleased to meet you." Taja accepted the handshake, but her face grew sombre. "Is my sister okay? She wasn't...raped, was she?"
Olivia sent her a sympathetic smile. It was shocking how nice Taja seemed, but Asanti was more pure evil. "I assure you, Asanti is fine. We just need help clearing things up." After the worry left from the younger woman's face, Olivia guided her back to the interview room to possibly sort this mess out.
Olivia opened the door to the interview room and motioned for Taja to enter. The small framed woman placed herself in one of the seats and waited patiently for the detective to speak.
"Can I ask you where you were on the night of the murder of Charlotte Ezra?" Benson questioned as she too took a seat.
"Oh I was at the studio. There were a few classes so I was teaching those." The response was so genuine; Olivia could hardly believe that she was related to Asanti.
"Do you have any CCTV that would help us out? After all your sister hasn't been the most...helpful shall we say."
"Oh any cameras we have outside don't actually function, they're just there as a warning to scare off anyone who thinks about breaking in." Taja said,
Olivia nodded, as sweet as this woman was there was definitely something she was hiding.
"Taja, do you remember seeing Charlotte that night?" Olivia asked.
The younger woman let out a sigh. "I saw her on the end of the street with a bunch of other girls. She was crying. A car pulled up, she got in and I didn't see her for the rest of the night."
"Can you describe the car?" Olivia pulled out her notepad incase.
"No I'm sorry."
Meanwhile, Amanda was one of the 12 detectives and officers searching for Asanti. And she was not an easy woman to find. Reaching the fourth floor of the Rosyara studio, Amanda decided to check the bathroom first. She was shocked to say the least once she noticed Asanti standing in front of the sink mirror.
"You think you can just get up and walk out whenever you feel like it? That's not how it works." Amanda said holding her stance at the bathroom door.
Asanti didn't blink an eye at the detective. "I got bored."
"Well now you're going to a cell where you belong." Amanda replied rolling her eyes as she handcuffed Asanti.
"By the way, I wouldn't trust a word my sister says." The Indian woman smirked.
"Oh yeah and why shouldn't we?" Rollins asked.
There was no response from the woman except for a laugh. A laugh that made something inside Amanda's stomach turn, this situation just kept getting worse by the second.
"So I was thinkin' why don't we try and find the girl in the picture?" Amanda lay in her bed with Olivia at her side. The brunette nestled her face into the crook of Amanda's neck while the blonde stroked Olivia's bare back.
"What picture?" The brunette's face masked over with confusion.
"Liv, remember Cassidy said that Charlotte was always carrying that picture around with her. The one with her kissing some girl, remember?"
Olivia looked up at her lover and a glint in her eye indicated she understood.
Olivia leant in and kissed Amanda's plump lips before pulling away and brushing a piece of hair from the blonde's face.
"And that Detective Rollins is why I love you." The brunette whispered as she leant down for another kiss.
"Asanti, Luca is dead. You can stop covering for him." Nick continued to interrogate Asanti after almost 2 hours; but he was getting nowhere.
"I'm not. Covering. For anyone." She was getting kind of annoyed with these endless questions; she had gotten tired of playing along. "So can I leave? I have place to be."
Nick made sure she was looking straight at him. "Why? Got some more young girls to kill?"
"Okay, for the 20th time, I didn't kill anyone. Do you need me to say it in Hindi?" Amaro was about to respond, but Amanda stuck her head in the door and beckoned him out.
"Found something else?" He asked shutting the interview room door behind him.
Amanda sighed. "Yes, Melinda found the photo Cassidy mentioned in a silver clutch in a dumpster by the alley. Inside there was lip gloss, a key, fake I.D and the photo. I'm not sure from the angle of the photo, but I've identified the brunette as possibly Kia Hanna."
"Okay, where is she?" Cragen asked exiting his office.
"Now that's the hard part Captain." Amanda said as she looked through the interrogation room window to see Asanti pacing the room. She turned back to face Cragen. "She's working for a drug lord."
Benson looked over, "Did you just say drug lord?"
Amanda nodded. "From what I've heard Kia Hanna worked in a separate prostitution ring at a strip club before she caught the eye of some rich drug lord. Who I guess made her move that's why she can't, I mean couldn't be with Charlotte Ezra. And now no one knows where she's based."
"Wow that's an urgh...that's a tough one." Olivia nodded her head and put her hand on her hip as she contemplated not being able to be with someone she loved. Or to be more specific, how it would feel to have to be forcibly apart from Amanda. .
"Right I want you to canvas the area she used to work and find out where this girl is." Cragen ordered the two female detectives and then he turned on his heel and walked back into his office.
"Let's go partner!" Olivia imitated a southern accent before winking at Rollins and grabbing her coat.
"The last time I went out canvassing with you, you almost got me killed." Amanda pointed out with a smirk.
"Oh come on, the past is the past." Olivia countered as the two stepped out into the cold.
Once the two female detectives arrived at their destination a little into the evening at a slightly rundown neighbourhood in Little Italy, they noticed the large amount of girls outside; most likely prostitutes.
Carrying the photo of Kia from her last arrest for theft, Amanda exited the car alongside Olivia. "How do you want to play it?" Amanda asked. The girls at the end of the street walked around aimlessly smoking cigarettes. It was too dark to pick out Kia.
"Just two cops out patrolling the area." Olivia answered and they began walking towards the group.
Seeing their badges, most of the girls quickly hurried away; except one a tall brunette.
A/N: So who's the tall brunette? Is it Kia Hanna? And where do you think Olivia and Amanda's relationship will go next? Thanks for reading and don't forget to make a review :)
