Ever After «A Law & Order: SVU Fanfic»

Chapter Five: Hurt

Olivia's POV:

(The same morning Zoe wakes up in the warehouse ready to leave)

It's 6:00am. I jump up out of bed and run a hot shower. Within half an hour, I'm ready, and on my way over to the precinct.

"Hey."Nick says when he sees me walk through the doors.

"Hey, where's Peter?"I asked him.

"He left late last night, his mom scooped him."said Nick taking a sip of his coffee.

"You get a hit on Jack Ives?"

"Yeah. Jack Ives lives right here in Manhattan now, he was found not guilty for a rape charge in Brooklyn. Not married, no children, several parking tickets on Pond Street though."he told me as he headed towards the coffee machine. He made me a cup and handed it to me.

"Hm, Pond Street is the exact same street their school is on. He must've been watching them in the morning time. What kind of car does he have?"

"Black van. Just like the one from the video."he told me cheerfully.

"I'm going to make a call to Barba. We need a warrant."I said sipping on my coffee and walking to my office.

I pick up my phone and dial his number.

"It's Barba."he says.

"I need a warrant for a Jack Ives."I told him quickly.

"What for exactly?"he said, I start to get pissed because I'm in no mood for his sass today.

"For being the possible kidnapper of my daughter, and murderer of her best friend."I said, my annoyance obvious.

"He have a history?"he asked me, more softer.

"Yes, rape, but in Brooklyn."

"I'll get a judge to sign off."he said, then hung up.

After I walk back out to the detectives, there's a new live video of Zoe.

"Change of plans everyone, I'm taking the camera with me. If I record my way back to the city, maybe the police find this warehouse. I know as soon as I'm admitted into a hospital, I might want to forget everything. Ok, let's go."

After that, we watch her carefully walk towards the stairs, she does everything very carefully, so I know she's in pain. Zoe runs through the rocks and gets into the forest. She walks for a bit and stops, the camera is pointed towards the floor and we can hear her gagging. After that, she starts running fast, only to stop, panting. She walks over to a tree and drops down next to it. The camera placed on her lap.

"Did she just pass out?"Fin asked me.

"I think so. She needs to get to a hospital. Does anyone recognize that park?"I asked everyone in the squad room.

"Inwood Hill, I think."said Fin.

I get a call on my cellphone, it was Barba.

"Judge signed the warrant, I'll fax it to you right now."

"Thanks, Barba."I told him, letting out a breath of relief.
