Chapter 4
This one’s for my friend faces_of_angels :) I miss you... Scotland is so far away...
The next morning Olivia woke up because someone shook her very hard.
She yawned and stretched her arms and when she opened her eyes a young woman, she thought she was around 28, stood in front of her.
“I’m Mrs Johnson. I’m from ACS. Dr Montgomery called me this morning. He said that this girl has no family and she needs to be put her into a foster home. Please wake her up and tell her that she has to dress very quickly. I have other kids to care for today too and my time is limited. I’ll wait outside.”
With that Mrs Johnson turned around.
“Um, wait a minute. It’s not that easy. This girl has been raped and you can’t take her away that easy. I’ve been there for her the last few days and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure you don’t put her in some random foster home and only check on her once a month.”
“Ms…”
”Benson.”
”Ms Benson that’s a decision you can’t make. When we get the call, we come, pick the children up and that’s all. If you don’t want to wake her then tell me, I can do that too.”
“No that’s fine. Just… wait outside.” Olivia gave her one last angry look and turned then around to wake the sleeping Lindsay.
“Honey, you have to wake up. You go to a new home today.”
“No, I don’t want to go. Olivia, no, you promised to be here for me,” Lindsay screamed.
“Please honey, I promise we’ll meet as often as possible but please dress now so that we can go. I don’t want you to leave either but there’s no other possibility at the moment. Please trust me.”
”No, Olivia, please no!”
Lindsay started shaking again and Olivia couldn’t do anything else but hug the crying girl.
“I promise I’ll find your family but please go with Mrs Johnson now. I promise you can call me as often as you want and I’ll come to visit you.”
“NO!” she yelled.
“Please… please dress now. I promise I’ll go with you the whole way to your new family, okay?”
“No, Liv go.”
Olivia went to the bag Mrs Johnson brought with her when she came with new clothes for Lindsay.
Without saying a word she dressed Lindsay and tried to wash her wet face. But she didn’t stop crying.
When they walked into the corridor Lindsay saw Mrs Johnson and tried to run away but Olivia kept holding her little hand. Then Lindsay started to scream and hit out at everything around her. A few nurses stopped to help but Olivia wrapped Lindsay in her arms and held her tight.
“Shh… everything’s going to be okay. Please calm down.”
”Noooo, I don’t want to go with her. Please let go of me.”
Olivia couldn’t take seeing Lindsay so upset any longer and went to the impatient Mrs Johnson.
“This girl won’t go with you. You see she’s scared and she won’t go with you. Do what you have to do but I’ll take care of her.”
“You don’t have the permission to play foster mommy. And what will your boss say when you start to play foster mommy to every victim you save? But it’s your decision. You get the problems. So have fun with that crazy girl.”
With an angry look at both of them she left the hospital.
Olivia and Lindsay stood there a few more minutes until Doctor Montgomery came to them.
“That wasn’t very helpful. You would have done better if you’d have given Lindsay to her and kept doing your job. What will you do next?”
”I don’t know. Just give me the discharge papers and I’ll sign them. And then I’ll see what I’ll do with her.”
After signing the papers both left the hospital.
---------------------------------------------------EO-------------------------
An hour later they reached the 16th precinct. When they entered the whole team was sitting at their desks.
Elliot looked up and was quite surprised to see both of them.
“Liv, what are you doing here? And why is she with you? Shouldn’t she be in hospital?”
“No I signed her out. The doctor called ACS this morning, they came to get her but she didn’t want to go with them so now she’s with me.”
”And what do you wanna do now? I mean you can’t bring her to work and you can’t take her home. Please be reasonable, Olivia, and take her to ACS. They’ll find a good family for her and you can visit her. What you’re doing now is no solution.”
“I’m not crazy Elliot. I know what I’m doing. And believe me it’s the right thing.”
With that Olivia took Lindsay to Huang’s office.
“Honey, please stay with him while I’m talking to my boss. I’ll be back in a few minutes and then we go home to my place, okay?”
Lindsay nodded and sat down in the chair next to her.
Huang gave her a questioning look but then he realized who this girl was.
Olivia headed to Cragen’s office. She knocked on his door and without waiting for any response she opened it.
“Boss, I need to talk to you…”
“Olivia. Sit down. What can I do for you?”
”I need a few days off. I think one week will be enough.”
”Why? Do you have any problems? Is something up with Simon?”
”No, it’s about Lindsay… they wanted to put her into foster care but I couldn’t do that to her. I told the lady from ACS I’d take care of her. I’m the only one she trusts and I need to find out what happened to her. Please boss, say yes.”
”Olivia, you can’t do that. Imagine if tomorrow you find another girl in Central Park. You wanna do the same then?”
”I would. Please. She trusts me. And I know something terrible happened to her. When she starts to open up then I can help her. And as soon as we find her parents I’ll give her back. Only a few days, please. It’s four days until Christmas and I don’t want to put her into a family she doesn’t know. Please!”
“What if I say no?”
”Just say yes.”
“I see… you won’t stop harassing me. Take her with you, but no longer than one week. I will see you after Christmas in the precinct again - without her. If we don’t find her parents by then you have to give her to ACS.”
After a short moment Olivia said yes. She thanked Cragen for his support and then went to pick Lindsay up from Huang’s office.
“Did she say anything?”
”No she didn’t. What are you going to do now?”
”I’ll take her with me. The boss said yes. Hopefully I find out what happened. Any idea how I can get her to talk about it?
”She trusts you, Olivia, everything else will come in its own time.”
Olivia gave him a little smile and took Lindsay’s hand and they left for home.
