Chapter 3
The next two days went on like the first one. Olivia tried to talk to the child but didn’t get any answers. She only went home for a few hours to sleep, to shower and change and then to the precinct to check on any developments.
No one had called to give them information yet. She just didn’t understand it. Someone had to know her. Even if it was only a teacher from the elementary school she went to, or a neighbour… but no one did. Even Missing Persons had turned up nothing.
On the third day she tried again to get the answers to all her questions but it didn’t work so she tried another way.
“Do you want me to read you a fairytale?” Olivia asked, she didn’t expect an answer but when the girl said a quiet “yes” it was a huge relief for Olivia. It was a beginning. Only a little one but at least it was one.
“Honey, you spoke to me. That’s great. I knew you could do it. Which one do you want to hear?”
“Cinderella.”
Throughout the rest of the afternoon Olivia read Cinderella six times until they were really tired.
------------------------------------------------EO-----------------------------------------------
That evening Olivia went to find Dr. Montgomery to tell him the great news. When he spotted her at the end of the hallway he started to smile.
”Ms Benson, got anything for me?”
”Yeah, Emily started to talk today. It was only a quiet “yes” but I think she’s started to trust me. I’m so happy about it. That shows she’s on the road of recovery now, doesn’t it?”
”Yes I think so. Maybe we should send the counsellor in again tomorrow, maybe she trusts her enough to talk to her too. But Ms Benson there’s something else we need to talk about.”
Olivia gave him only a questioning look.
“Emily is okay now. I mean not psychologically but physically. The cuts are all fine so far and she’s doing well. The Hospital Board says she’s well enough to be discharged and if you can’t find her parents we have to call ACS and put her in foster care. We can’t do anything further for her.”
”No, I mean that’s not true. You can’t do that. We don’t know her real name, her age or anything else about her. No one knows what she went through the night I found her. You can’t throw her away like garbage. She’s all alone.”
”I know Ms Benson but she doesn’t need any further medical treatment from the hospital. She’s physically fine and I’m sorry but if you don’t find her parents or relatives then you must accept that tomorrow someone from ACS will pick her up and put her into care.”
Olivia threw him an angry look and left without any words. She went outside; she needed the cold air.
After a while she realised she was freezing and decided to call Elliot. She didn’t note how late it really was and was surprised when he sounded very tired as he picked up.
”Stabler.”
”El, it’s me, Liv.”
”Do you know how late it is Liv? It’s half past eleven. I had two long days at work, I need some sleep. Did anything happen?”
”I’m sorry for waking you. I just spoke to the doctor and he told me that if we don’t find her parents by tomorrow morning he’ll call ACS. We have to do something Elliot. I don’t know what but she started to speak today and if I leave her now…”
”Liv, calm down. I know it’s hard but we even don’t know her real name. I don’t know what else we could do to help her. What did she say?”
”Only “yes” but I think that’s a beginning it shows that she trusts me. El. please help me now. I’ve spent almost every minute of the last three days at the hospital, I can’t give up now.”
”I’m sorry Liv but we already did everything we can. Please go home now and see what tomorrow brings.”
With those words Elliot rang off and Olivia stood there, all alone.
---------------------------------------------------EO------------------------------------------------
When she came back into Emily’s room to pick up her clothes Emily was still awake.
”Please, don’t leave”, she begged.
”You want me to stay tonight?”
”Yes please. I don’t wanna be alone. I’m scared when it’s dark and…” with that Emily started to cry.
”Hey honey, everything’s going to be okay. I’m here for you. I promise I won’t leave you.”
The next few minutes Olivia sat on Emily’s bed, hugging her.
“I really want to help you but you have to tell me a few things, okay?”
The little girl nodded.
“What’s your name?”
“Lindsay.”
”Lindsay? Oh that’s a beautiful name. And what’s your last name?”
”I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you know… I mean everyone has a last name. My one’s Benson. And my first name is Olivia. But you can call me Liv if you want. That’s what my partner always does.”
”Who is your partner?”
”Um… his name is Elliot. He works with me for the NYPD too. Do you want to see a picture from him?”
”Yes.”
Olivia rummaged around in her bag until she found her purse and pulled a picture of Elliot out. It was already a few months old, from the last summer party they had in Central Park, but he looked beautiful in that picture and she just had to keep it.
Lindsay gave his picture only a short glance and then looked at Olivia again.
While Olivia put the picture back on its place, Lindsay slid closer to her.
“Please don’t leave me.”
”I won’t honey. I promised you I’d stay with you tonight and I’m not going to break my promise. I’ll be here for you. You want to answer a few more questions?”
”I don’t know…”
“We’ll try, okay? What are the names of your Mommy and Daddy? I’m sure they miss you and want to have you back.”
”I don’t have a Mom or a Dad. They’re dead.”
“I’m sorry. What happened?”
”I don’t know. Liv, I don’t like this… I don’t want to do this any longer.”
“Only a few more, okay? I need to find out what happened to you. You can’t stay in the hospital forever. How old are you? Or do you know when your birthday is?”
”No… Liv please stop it. I don’t know.”
”I’m sure you know when your birthday is. Every girl loves to celebrate their birthday.”
”No, I never did. Please… I’m tired.”
“What happened on the night I found you? Where did you live before I found you? If your parents are dead then someone else took care of you, but who? Please, I only can help you and stay with you if you talk to me.”
But Lindsay’s body started to shake again and she cried very hard so Olivia gave up trying to find out more for the night.
Both fell asleep very quickly in Lindsay’s bed and didn’t wake up before the next morning.
