Hideaway daughter

Chapter 4

As they walked outside the precinct Zara looked up at Sofia, holding her hand like their dad told her to.

"Can we get pizza? Mum doesn't let me have that kind of food when I'm with her" She asked as Sofia looked down at her little sister and smiled.

"What does dad think about it?" She asked as she was swinging Zara's hand as she was skipping down the street.

"He lets me have whatever I want!" Zara said smiling up at her big sister who gave a smile back as they headed towards the nearest pizza joint and found two free seats where a young male bartender came up to the their orders.

"What's two beautiful ladies like you doing out?" The young bartender said clearly flirting with Sofia as Zara just laughed a bit at him and gave him her order.

"We would like two big slices of pizza" Zara said smiling at the guy as he wrote it down.

"And I would like a taste of you" Sofia said whispering to the young guy as he smiled at her as Zara asked her what she told him and she looked at her and said that she told him to make sure he extra cheese on the slices as Zara let out another laugh when their slices came out as Zara started taking bites of the slice and Sofia did as well.

"I missed you, but I'm glad you're back now" Zara said and smiled at her as she continued to eat the slice.

"I missed you too and dad. I need to go use the restroom, will you be okay by yourself for a bit?" Sofia asked Zara as nodded her head as Sofia kissed the top of her sisters head as she went inside to find the young bartender that served them as she spotted him at the bar drying some glasses.

"Shouldn't you be out there looking after your sister?" The young guy said as he put the glass away and leaned over the bar.

"She'll be okay out there for a bit" Sofia said as she went to the edge of the bar where the guy was at.

At the precinct Amanda got a call on the landline.
"Detective Rollins Manhattan SVU" she answered the phone as she heard Zara's voice on the other end of the line.

"Can you or my dad come pick me up? I can't find Sofia, she went into the bathroom at this pizza place and haven't come back out yet" Zara sounding a little bit scared.

"Yeah of course sweetie, we'll be right there" Amanda said as Zara hung up the phone and waited for her dad and Amanda.

After the call Amanda went into the interview room where Nick was currently interrogating a suspect when she asked him to come out for a moment as he joined her in the hallway and looked confused at her.

"Nick have you heard from Sofia?" She asked concerned as Nick pulled out his phone to check for any missed calls or texts.

"No i haven't why? Is everything okay?" He asked concern spread all over his face as he walked out in the bullpen and over to his desk about to grab his coat and keys when Amanda stopped him shortly.

"I just got a call from Zara, she's sitting alone at a pizza joint down the street and said she has seen Sofia since went in to use the toilet which seems to be quite a while ago now" Amanda said as Nick hurried out as Amanda took her coat and followed him suit out the precinct as they quickly reached the pizza joint where Zara was sitting all by herself just waiting for Sofia to get back again as Nick rushed over to her and took her into his arms making sure she was okay.

"Zara sweetie what happened? Where's Sofia?" Nick asked sitting her down again Zara explained how they were eating a slice of pizza when Sofia said she had to use the restroom and asked if she would be okay by herself out here and that she would be okay again shortly.

"Nick I got her, go look for Sofia" Amanda said as Nick gave her a knowing look as she nodded her head at him, knowing how Sofia used to be, his mind only went to one place and he really was hoping right now that he was wrong about his assumptions.

As walked inside the pizza place he walked up to the bar and flashed them his badge and gave them Sofia's description asking if they had seen her when they pointed towards the bathrooms as Nick headed towards the restrooms and asked the guy working there to unlock the door as he did so and opened it when he saw Sofia passed out on the floor and credit cards and small bags in the sink and he knew exactly what had been going on as he scooped her up and carried her outside and as soon as Amanda spotted Nick she picked up Zara and started walking towards the precinct to distract her while Nick deals with Sofia.

He placed her on the ground outside as he gave her some narcan, when seconds later she woke up again confused for a moment as she looked around and saw her dad over her as he helped her sit up and stand up as he sat her down at the table and just looked at her with a slight disappointed look on his face as she had tears forming her eyes.

"I gave you one job Sofia.... All you had to do was look after her and instead you left to go get high? Please don't make me regret giving you a second chance" Nick asked his daughter as she just looked at him with regret.

"I'm so sorry dad.... this wasn't my intention, but there was young guy that served us and I guess things just got a bit out of hand from there" She said as the words choked up in her throat.

"Sofia, did this guy do something to you? Did he make you do that?" Nick asked getting a bit furious at this mystery guy as he gently took his daughters hands as the look on his face softened a bit as he looked at her tear filled eyes and he already knew the answers to his questions. As he stood up and took her back to the precinct to keep an eye on her for the rest of the day.
