The squad worked the case for months with no leads. The dna hadn't come up in codis and no other child abductions matching the MO had come up before or after.
Olivia had decided to move in to a new apartment hoping it would help her move forward but it didn't.
She secluded herself in her apartment not taking calls and not opening her door. Her apartment was falling in to a mess just like she felt her life was.
Tonight was just like any other night since Brielle had been gone. She sat looking at a picture of her and Brielle at the carousel as she poured another glass of wine. She had already emptied one bottle and was almost through her second when a knock came to her door.
"Liv come on open the door or I'm busting it down" fins voice came from the other side.
She sighed knowing he would do it so she stood and went to the door and opened it a bit "I'm not up...for company ok" she said her words sounding slurred.
He sighed and gently pushed his way in along with amanda who came in right after him.
"What the hell fin" Olivia said anger in her voice.
"How much have you drank olivia" fin asked as amanda seen the bottles on the floor by the picture of Brielle.
"None of your business now go home" she said walking towards her kitchen.
Amanda sighed picking up both bottles and looked at fin "at least almost 2 bottles" she said.
Fin followed olivia in to her kitchen and took the wine glass and fresh bottle olivia had taken from the cabinet.
"Enough liv come on let me make you some coffee" fin said throwing the glass and bottle in the trash.
"What did you do that for? I don't want any damn coffee" Olivia spat.
Amanda was shocked by the state of Olivia's apartment she knew Olivia's apartment was usually cluttered but now it was edging on the side of filthy.
It took a bit but fin got her to drink a cup of coffee but that didn't stop olivia from passing out against him and he sighed as he picked her up and lay her in her bed and closed the door.
Fin and amanda got to work cleaning up Olivia's place and getting rid of all the bottles of wine around the house. Olivia had taught fin where to look in case they had a case involving a drunk parent or person.
It was several hours before olivia finally began to wake with a splitting headache.
Olivia walked out of the room and seen her apartment was almost spotless. She seen fin sitting on the couch with amanda.
Fin seen her come out and he stood and amanda stood right after him. "Come on liv let's talk ok" fin said.
"I don't want to talk ok" she said and went to the cabinet trying to find another bottle of wine.
"Liv we got rid of the wine" Amanda said.
"What?! Why the hell would you get rid of my stuff?!" Olivia said.
Fin held her in place as he said "Liv this has to stop! You can't just sit here and drink yourself to death. Brielle would not want this and you swore you never wanted to end up like your mother."
Olivia sighed "why does it matter anymore? I'm never getting her back...who knows if she's even alive anymore?"
Amanda looked at olivia "Liv come on how often do you tell parents to keep hope? We can still find her. I mean we realized that it was a couple that took her we just got to find some suspects to compare it to."
"Don't give up on her liv she needs you to keep fighting for her." Fin said.
She crumpled to the floor in tears "I just want my baby girl back! Why did someone have to take my baby?"
Fin and amanda held her close.
They helped her over the next few months and got her back to mostly her old self although she refused to work child abduction cases. The captain let it go for now and got her to work on rape and molestation cases.
