At the old house Olivia fell asleep around 4 in the morning. She woke up around 8:40 with Cecilia walking in the room grabbing things and throwing it on a suitcase.
"Wake up!" Cecilia told her. "We gotta go" she said and Olivia didn't move.
"Get out of there child! Believe me you don't want me to go under there" Cecilia said and nothing.
So the woman went down and grabbed Olivia's foot and pulled her out. Olivia fought her but the woman was way stronger than her. Cecilia picked her up.
"We're going somewhere fun. You'll see" Cecilia said.
"No! I wanna go home! Let me go!" Olivia said fighting her.
"Give me this. I'm sick of this attitude" Cecilia said grabbing Joey.
"No!" Olivia cried. "It's mine!"
"You're a bad girl. You don't deserve any toys" Cecilia said and threw the bunny on the floor.
"No" Olivia sobbed as the woman walked out of the room.
She took Olivia to the living room and sat her on the floor.
"It's time for your medicine. And if you fight me I'll give you two shots you hear me?" Cecilia said and the little girl nodded yes. She had so many tears streaming down her face.
The woman did on the child's belly and Olivia didn't make a sound.
"Wasn't that better then throwing a fit?" Cecilia asked acting nice out of the sudden.
"Can I get Joey now?" Olivia asked with fear evident in her voice.
"Who's Joey?" Cecilia asked.
"My bunny" Olivia said crying.
"No." Cecilia said serious.
"But I was good" Olivia cried.
"We have to go now. If you behave I'll give him back" Cecilia lied picking Olivia up.
She took the girl to the car and drove off.

At Meredith's house Amelia woke up to find Owen awake next to her.
"Any news?" She asked sitting up on the bed.
"No" he said. "The police is downstairs" he added so they got up and headed down.
"Miss Shepherd" the detective said.
"Any news?" She asked him.
"Witnesses called from a pharmacy saying a woman with her description stopped to get glucagon yesterday morning."
"And?"
"And we are analyzing the security footage to confirm" he said.
"And how does that fucking help my daughter?" Amelia asked mad.
"I'm sorry man but we are doing the best we can to bring Olivia back" the detective said. "We have officers all around the city looking for her" he added and Amelia sat down on the couch with Owen.
She was broken. She just wanted her baby back and she didn't know what she could do to help.

Cecilia drove for a long time and suddenly saw a road block. She turned around and went on another street. She managed to pass it and arrive where she was going. A motel.
She parked the car on a tiny street 2 blocks away from the motel. She got her bags and picked Olivia up.
"Remember to be a good girl. If you make one sound you'll never see Amelia again." She told the girl who put her thumb in her mouth scared as the woman walked to the motel.
"Hello. I'd like a room." Cecilia told the lady.
"One or two beds?"
"Just one please" she said.
The woman did everything then Cecilia paid in cash for just 1 night stay.
"There you go" the woman said and gave her the keys.
Cecilia went to the room and put Olivia on the bed.
"You need a shower" Cecilia said.
"I can't get my cast wet" the little girl said.
"shit" Cecilia said. "Come here. Let me at least wash your hair. It's ridiculously dirty" Cecilia said.
"No. It's fine" Olivia said.
"Come here" Cecilia said between her teeth. She was losing her patience again.
"No" Olivia said looking scared.
"Damn it girl. Why can't you do as told? Just once for goodness sake" the woman said grabbing the crying girl by the arm and taking her to the bathroom.
She turned the shower on and took Olivia's clothes off, leaving her only with underwear. She picked the girl up and managed to just wet her hair and face and a portion of her chest. Olivia gasped for air under the falling water.
The woman took her out and shampooed her hair and put her back in again.
"It burns" Olivia said trying to get away as the shampoo went on her eyes.
"I'm almost finished. Stop it" Cecilia said shaking the girl.
"Done" Cecilia said sitting on the top of the toilet and placing Olivia on her lap.
She dried the girl, combed her hair and put it on a ponytail.
"Let me get your clothes" Cecilia said and left the bedroom.
Olivia hated ponytails so she took it off while Cecilia got shorts and a shirt from her bag for the girl.
"What the fuck did you do?" Cecilia said mad as she saw the child's messy hair. She put the clothes on the sink and started making the pony tail again.
"It hurts like that" Olivia said.
"No it doesn't." Cecilia said.
"It does" Olivia said louder then she meant to.
Cecilia spanked her bum twice and the girl started to cry.
"I told you not to talk to me like that" Cecilia said finishing the ponytail. Then she dressed the girl, picked her up and put her on the bed.
"You can watch some tv now" she told Olivia and turned the tv on.
"I'm going to the bathroom. If you make a sound…" she said meanly as she locked the door and went to the bathroom to shower.
Olivia knew she couldn't escape so she stayed quiet on the bed watching a cartoon on the tv.
When Cecilia walked out of the shower Olivia was laying in the fetal position crying and she had her thumb in her mouth.
"Oh sweetie what's wrong?" The woman asked sitting on the bed and the girl just kept crying. "You can tell me"
"I want my mom" Olivia cried.
Cecilia pulled her to her lap as the girl sobbed. Olivia was so sad and scared that she didn't even fight the woman off.
"Oh sweetie your mom is dead remember?"
"I want Amelia" Olivia said.
"Amelia is not your mom. You know that right?"
"Yes she is" Olivia said meaning it.
Cecilia put the girl in front of her on the bed.
"I am not going to explain again. Amelia is not your mother you hear me?" She said and Olivia just stayed quiet. "I am now" Cecilia said.
Olivia shook her head no crying.
"Yes I am. And you'll be okay. Don't worry. We're going to a big house. And there are horses there and a lot of room for you play. You'll like it" the woman said.
"I just want Amelia" Olivia cried.
"She doesn't want you anymore" Cecilia lied.
"Yes she does" Olivia yelled mad.
"Don't" Cecilia said grabbing girl's arms.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry" Olivia cried and the woman let go.
"Just keep your mouth shut and watch the fucking television" Cecilia said and headed to the table next to the tv. She pulled an old laptop from her bag and sat there.

At lunch time, around 1pm, everyone was so exhausted, stressed and nervous at Meredith's house that no one was saying a word anymore. They were all just sitting in the living room lost in their thoughts.
After a while Doctor Edwards rang the bell.
"I'll get it" Maggie said.
"Hi." Stephanie said when Maggie opened the door. "Have you guys eaten?" She asked showing the bags on her hands.
"Come on in" Maggie said.
"How's everything? Any news yet?" Stephanie asked.
"Nothing " Maggie said looking worried as they walked to the kitchen.
"I assumed no one would want to cook anything so I got some pasta"
"Thank you" Maggie said.
"How's Amelia holding up?" Stephanie asked worried about her friend.
"She's trying her best not to break down you know" Maggie said and Stephanie nodded.
"Let's go tell them there's lunch" Maggie said and Stephanie followed her to the living room.
Amelia was sitting in the couch with Owen next to her, he had one arm around her shoulders. Callie was sitting next to them and Meredith was on the other couch holding Ellis.
"Edwards brought food" Maggie said.
"Come on Amy. You need to eat something" Owen told Amelia.
"No. it's fine" Amelia said not even looking at him. She just looked exhausted.
Suddenly Amelia's phone rang. She picked up as fast as she could.
"Hello?" She said fast.
"Amelia?" A young voice came on. It was Susan.
"Susan?" Amelia asked recognizing the voice.
"My mother just called me" Susan said.
"What?" Amelia asked confused.
"She called me and she told me to go meet her at the Denni's Ranch. She said we would be a family again. All of us" Susan said crying. "Is Olivia with you ?... Because... Um... I think she has her" Susan said between sobs.
"She does Susan" Amelia said serious and held her tears as she heard Susan sob.
"Can i?" The detective asked to speak to the girl on the phone.
"Susan there's an officer here and he needs to talk to you okay. You need to tell him what you just told me. Okay?" Amelia said.
"Okay" Susan said and Amelia handed the phone to the detective.
Amelia tried to keep her calm while the two of them talked.
Once they hung up the detective explained the plan.
"Cecilia called from a blocked number and we can't trace it so Susan is going to pretend she's coming to meet her mother tomorrow at 2pm at the Denni's Ranch, which is a farm they used to go to in the summer and it's close to the airport. When Cecilia contact Susan she'll play along and pretend she's coming here to Seattle. So I'll need everybody in the house to stay here and not do anything okay? No trying to contact her or anything. And tomorrow at the set time we'll have officers there and we'll get your daughter. But no contact with Susan again. I already told her to call my number instead of yours." The detective said.
"Okay" Amelia said and everyone nodded.
"But what if Olivia is not with her?" Owen asked worried.
"We'll search that ranch till we find her. But it's very likely she'll be there" the detective.
"Only tomorrow though?" Amelia asked with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry" the detective said.
Amelia felt horrible that her daughter had to stay another day with that woman and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Let's eat?" Owen asked her and she shook her head no. "Amy they have a plan. They'll get her back" he said. "And you need to be strong for her. She'll need us strong" he added and she stood up and they went to the kitchen.
Everyone ate.
Amelia tried hard to eat but only managed a couple forks of pasta. She was twisting her fork after she lost her appetite and Owen noticed.
"Let's go upstairs" Owen said. She looked at him and his heart sank. He could see the pain in her eyes.
As they walked upstairs Owen thought about going to Amelia's room to lay on her big bed and try to rest a little but the woman turned and went inside the girls' bedroom. She still had Olivia's blanket on her hand, since she got that morning she had not let go of it. She laid on the child's bed and closed her eyes. She thought maybe sleeping would make the time go faster and the ideas of what was happening to Olivia disappear from her mind.
"Are you going to sleep again?" Owen asked sitting next to her.
"Yes" was all that she said and he laid down and wrapped her in his arms.
"I'll be right here with you" he said.

The day went by fast and all Olivia did was watch tv. She was very tired but she just couldn't sleep with Cecilia there.
Around 7:30 Cecilia went out to get dinner and locked the girl in the room.
"I'll be right back with some food. Be a good girl or there will be consequences" the woman said before leaving and Olivia stayed quiet scared of what could happen.
Olivia didn't want to share a bed with the woman so she got some pillows and blankets and made a little bed on the floor in the corner of the room for her. She laid there and watched tv till the woman returned.
"Olivia?!" Cecilia said mad when she walked in and didn't see the girl on the bed.
"I'm here" Olivia said almost a whisper.
"What are you doing there sweetie?" Cecilia said all nice and smiling.
"I wanna sleep here" Olivia said. "Can I?" She asked scared.
"You know what? You can. Just because you were a good girl and asked me" Cecilia said but the child just laid there not showing even a little bit of happiness. "Come eat you dinner" Cecilia said dropping two McDonald's bags on the bed.
Olivia didn't move.
"Come eat Olivia. Don't make me mad again" Cecilia said a little serious and Olivia stood up and walked to the bed. She sat on the floor and ate a happy meal while watching cartoons.
Cecilia hated cartoons but as long as it would keep the child quiet she would watch it too.
Once dinner was done it was almost 9 and Cecilia went to prepare the child's injection in the bathroom while Olivia laid on her corner watching tv.
Once done Cecilia went to get the girl.
"Come on let's do this quick so we can go to bed" Cecilia said standing in front Olivia and the girl shivered with fear and shook her head no.
"I'm not playing Olivia. Come on" Cecilia said.
"No. I don't want to" Olivia said almost a whisper while tears filled her eyes and started to fall.
"You're such a baby you know that? I didn't even do anything" Cecilia said walking to the girl and Olivia started screaming no.
The woman covered the child's mouth, turned her around and pulled her shorts down and did it as fast as she could. Olivia cried and screamed and Cecilia left pissed.
"I don't understand why you always throw a fit. This doesn't even hurt" the woman said.
"Yes it does" Olivia cried.
"Shut up" Cecilia said. "Zip it" she said. "Go to sleep" she told the girl who put her thumb on her mouth and silently cried herself to sleep on the little bed she made on the floor.
