"So how did ya find out I was a cop?" Olivia questioned in her strong voice as she James sat cuffed to the table.
"I do my research," James scoffed.
"If you didn't do anything wrong then why did you have to do your research?" Olivia asked offering a sneaky grin.
"I took a kid."
"You kidnapped a kid!" Olivia yelled, "You kidnapped her and you raped her!"
"I didn't rape no kid!" James yelled trying to stand up and forgetting he was cuffed.
Olivia chuckled at how stupid this guy was, "You didn't deny kidnapping her. That's five years."
"I did kidnapped her," James said, "She's my daughter."
Olivia was stunned. She didn't know if she could believe what the man was saying so she stepped out of the room and had Fin find out who Hailey's parents were. Olivia called Hailey's mom, Isabelle, and got her to come to the precinct for questioning as well.
It was already 10 o'clock at night and Olivia was exhausted but she wasn't going to give up until they found out why James took Hailey and why he raped her.
"Mrs. MacDonald," Olivia started the questioning, "Who is Hailey's father?"
Isabelle looked down at the table trying to avoid Detective Benson and Detective Amaro's faces.
"Mrs. MacDonald," Nick chimed in, "The man that you claimed that kidnapped your daughter is saying that he is her father."
"He's a liar!" Isabelle shouted, "He's lying! Hailey doesn't have a father!"
Olivia and Nick turned to look at each other. They were appalled at how this case was developing.
"It isn't possible to have a child without them having a father," Olivia said, "We can have a simple DNA test done to prove that he is or isn't the father. Why not just make it simple by telling us the truth?"
"I am telling you the truth! She doesn't have a father."
Olivia sighed and wiped the tiredness out of her eyes.
"I guess she wants to do it the hard way then," Nick said, "Let's go."
Olivia followed Nick out of the room and went back to the interrogation room that James was waiting so impatiently in. They had to get him to take a DNA test so they could prove if he was telling the truth. Obviously they weren't buying Isabelle's story so at the moment they had no choice but to believe he was telling the truth.
Before Nick opened the door to the room he turned to look at Olivia, "Amanda and I can finish this case up Liv if you want to catch some sleep."
"I'm fine Nick," Olivia assured him, "I really am."
"Why don't you just take the rest of the night off and you can come back tomorrow morning. I promise I'll fill you in on everything."
Olivia was really exhausted. The whole fact that she was dealing a case with her boyfriend's brother was angering her. She didn't understand why this always happened to her. All the guys she ended up dating were rapists or up to know good.
"Alright," Olivia said not seeing the harm in going home, "I want every detail when I come back though."
"Deal." Nick smiled. He hadn't been working at the 1-6 too long but since he had he had grown to understand Olivia's ways. She was a tough cop that was completely devoted to the job and sometimes needed someone else to tell her when to take a break. Nick liked this about her. He told himself he would always make sure she was okay but she had been so nice to him.
When Olivia had left work to go home she called David and told him she had the rest of the night off. They made plans to have a late dinner out in the city and take it from there.
"So, how's the case coming along?" David asked as they sat down in a booth together at a nice Italian restaurant.
"You know I can't tell you about that," Olivia said looking into his eyes. When she was around David, she felt like a teenager in high school again. She felt like he was the senior guy that when she got around she got butterflies. She knew she was falling for him deeply and she also knew that he liked her just as much.
"I know," David said, "I just wanted to see your amazing cop abilities."
Olivia laughed, "Real funny."
"It got you to laugh didn't it?"
"Are we going to order or what?" Olivia asked trying to change the subject.
"Why don't we share a meal?" David asked.
Olivia raised an eyebrow at his suggestion, "You want to share with me? I may be a woman but I can eat just like any man."
Now it was David who was laughing, "We can share. What do you like?"
Olivia wiped the hair out of her face and looked David in the eyes. They shined like an emerald. "You."
David leaned over the table and kissed Olivia on the cheek, "How about we skip dinner and head back to your place?"
"I'd like that."
They couldn't even wait until they got into Olivia's apartment before they started making out. Each kiss seemed to have more power than the last. Olivia fumbled with the keys in her hand as she tried opening the door while still kissing him. She eventually succeeded and kicked the door closed behind them with her foot. They went into her bedroom and fell on the bed. Olivia started pulling his shirt off and kissing his muscular chest. David proceeded by pulling Olivia's blue shirt off over her head. A few seconds later and they were skin to skin.
"Olivia Benson," David said, "I love you. Don't forget that."
She didn't want to say anything so she put her hand on the back of his head and forced his lips gently into hers.
