Chapter 3

Olivia knew that the day she said yes to David's proposal, it was a mistake. But she and David had just gotten so caught up, that neither of them took the time to think about this. Especially her. When she thinks about it, she knew that she was still very much in love with Nick when she accepted, but being so hurt... Even while she waited for the paternity test results, hoping that she could find a reason not to, when they came back and said that David was the father, she gave up on the idea of her and Nick, settled into the fact that fate wanted her with David. It wasn't as if she didn't love him, she did. He was the father of her children, and had blessed her with two more but Nick...

God she couldn't wait until she could get away from here, and go to him. It was a Friday and lucky her, the kids were with Gina for the weekend. Gina had already picked them up from school, and David was in Los Angeles until Tuesday. She had two whole days and tonight with Nick, and she planned to make them count.

She looked at the time on the clock, 6:57. They'd both be getting off early today. Actually, he'd gotten of an hour ago from his precinct. But she being the boss... It didn't matter now. She was out the door! Quickly; as quickly as she could, she got up from her chair and started pulling her bag together as Fin walked in. He'd be taking the reigns at the precinct this weekend, and she was practically skipping as she went and got her coat from the rack.

"Look at you? If I didn't know any better, I'd think you had a hot date with David."

"No, just looking forward to peace and quiet this weekend!" She smiled. "The girls are with their stepmom and David's out of town!"

"Well, enjoy your weekend, whatever you get into."

"I will."

"Before you go, Thomas Kirkland's driver-"

"Pablo? Nick questioned him after Thomas' murder."

"Yeah, well now he's offering to talk in exchange for a deal."

"A deal, he's not even been arrested for anything?"

"Called the DAs office, says he has details on stuff he was compliant to; but doesn't want jail time if he talks."

"You think he has details on what happened to Amanda?"

"I think I'm not gonna think anything until we know. We've had so many dead ends, I just can't take another one."

"I hear you. You've got my number; the DA probably won't make a move before Monday, but if she does, call me. Goodnight Fin, have a good weekend."

"You too." He said as she left.

"...and that's exactly why he'll be more than willing to take the plea-"

"Excuse me, I have to get this." David said, looking at his phone. "Haden." He answered.

"Mr. Haden...sir, I'm sorry to call you out of the blue, but...well, I need more money!" The male voice said anxiously on the other end of the line.

"I'm sorry, I'm gonna take this outside. Be right back." David said to his colleagues, keeping a straight face as he got up from the table and went to the lobby, where he immediately let his anger show. He knew just who this was, but he didn't expect he'd hear from him again. And especially not on his private number. "How the fuck did you get this number?"

"It was simple enough. Listen, I hate to call you like this-"

"Then don't!"

"Well, I wouldn't. But like I said, I've hit a bad spot, and I need more money- a lot more, unfortunately."
