Happy Readings!

When Olivia walked into the precinct she was sure if she was going to be able to say anything. She was lost for words but hoped Melinda would call her soon. She hoped running the DNA wouldn't take long. She looked around the squad. She sat across from her partner Nick and stared off into space. "Liv are you ok?" Nick asked. "Yeah I'm fine just tired. This is going to be a hard case but it always is when it involved children." Olivia didn't want to share the real reason behind why this was going to be so difficult on her. She wasn't even sure she wanted to share this with the captain... Olivia was startled by the ring of her phone. She looked down, it was Melinda. "Liv can you go to room where you are alone?" Liv looked around. "Yeah I can do that." Liv got up from her desk. "I am walking to an interview room right now." When Olivia got into the interview room she shut the door behind her. She was anxious to hear what Melinda had to tell her. "Olivia I will give you news that you want to hear first. It is your daughter. Here is the bad news it was Harris who raped Essence." Olivia went into shock she didn't know what to say.

"Liv? Liv are you there?" Melinda asked worriedly.

Olivia pulled herself together. "Yeah, yeah, I'm here. Thanks Mel." She said before hanging up. She walked back into the squad room and looked around. "I need someone to find out how and when the hell Harris got out!"

She wanted this bastard back behind bars for several reasons. Number one, he raped and beat her baby. Number two, all the other young women and girls he could prey upon. Number three, she wanted the fucker dead. So it would be best for everyone, especially Essence if he just went back to jail. Sure, when Melinda had told her who had raped her daughter she had a slight flashback to the day in the basement but she shook it off. In fact it was the first time it had affected her in years.

Nick and Amanda stared at her dumbly.

"Liv, who's Harris?" Amanda asked.

Olivia completely ignored Amanda. She couldn't handle her right now. She walked into Captain's office. "I need to talk to you and I am not exactly sure how I am going to say this so I am just going to come right out with it. Harris raped the victim Essence which who is also my daughter."

Captain Cragen looked at Olivia in shock. "Harris is out? And the victim is the baby you gave up 13 years ago? I'm just now finding this out? What the hell Liv?"

Olivia didn't know what to say. "Liv, I'm sorry I shouldn't have said. I can't let you work this case." Olivia looked into his eyes. "Captain why, you know I was the first person that she talked to, I was the first person she open up to."

"Olivia, you know that you can't work this case because you will be thinking like her Mother, not a cop." Cragen said.

"Captain, I need to do this. I have to make it up to her." Olivia said.

Captain Cragen sighed. "Liv, you couldn't have known this was going to happen when you gave her up."

"I just gave her up and I never even looked back!" Olivia snapped. She was so angry at herself. She stormed out of the office and right out of the squad room and out the precinct doors. She took off in her car. She couldn't deal. It was too much. All the regrets and she had so many about giving up her daughter, were slapping her in the face.
