Olivia stayed with brilynn. She sat in the chair next to her hospital bed over night and helped the young child with night terrors as she had woke screaming and fighting twice that night. Olivia knew better than most about that since less than a year ago she had gone through her ordeal with William lewis.

Olivia was stroking the girls hair as she finally slept peacefully. She had never felt this connected to a victim but she figured it was just because she looked so much like what she imagined Brielle would look like now.

The next morning fin came back with some coffee for olivia and himself and she stepped out of the room to speak with him. "So what's the plan?" She asked still glancing back at the girl "well me and amanda got a confession of abuse from both the mother and father except Melinda ran the dna and turns out this girl is not thier daughter. Her dna didn't match either of them." He said.

"Your sure?" She asked looking at him and back at the girl.

"Yeah so Melinda is running it through codis to see if a dna match comes up for any family but nothing yet" he said.

"So we are looking at abuse and kidnapping?" She asked.

Fin nodded "yeah and cap said he knows you hate those kind of cases but he needs you to stay on because the girl trusts you." He said.

Olivia nodded in agreement "yeah for now" she said as the gears in her head were turning, wondering but she had lost hope a while ago that her daughter was even still alive let alone still in New York.

"So she tell you anything else?" He asked.

"No but while she was sleeping the nurse took pictures of her past injuries they put this girl through he'll. Welt scars on her back and chest, unidentifiable burn scars and several bones that never properly healed" she said shaking her head "I just don't know how anyone could do that to a child."

Fin sighed "poor kid. I don't know how any family is gonna be able to help her through trauma like that." He said.

"Look keep me in the loop. I'm gonna stay around here unless you guys absolutely need me." She said.

"Maybe you should go home and rest a bit first." He said "atleast shower and change."

"I don't want to freak her out if I'm not here" she replied.

"I'll stay with her for a bit" he answered.

Olivia hesitated but nodded and decided she did need to freshen up "I'll be back as soon as I can" she said before leaving.

As she got home she took a shower and changed then made some coffee and looked at a picture on the wall of Brielle, the only professional photos she ever got done of her when she was 4 months old. As she stared at the picture she remembered Brielles ankle had a heart shaped birth mark and she began to wonder again about the girl in the hospital.
