Burgess flinched back at Voight's sudden and sharp tone. Hank stepped out of the room and took a deep breath.
"Sorry, what do you need?" he asked, the edge melting from his voice.
"Sarge we've tried talking to Oliver and we got some information on his living conditions and treatment in the house but when we asked if he had ever met the people in his basement and that's when he curled up and broke down in the corner. Kevin, Hailey and I all tried but it's no use." she informed him quickly.
"Alright give me a recorder and document everything he already told you and I'll take care of the rest, and oh, h is social worker Emily Cravas is coming so let her in when she gets here" he ordered walking down the hall with her.
"Once you're done with that add child abuse and neglect on their sentencing" he added.
"Yes sir" burgess replied peeling away from Voight to get to her desk.

Once Hank opened the door he was met with a hysterical and disheveled Oliver. The complete opposite of the sweet sleeping boy from before. Hank put the recorder on the closest chair and hit record. Once it was set he sat on the floor slowly and cautiously put a hand on Olivers shoulders, warmingly whispering to him,
" Ollie, Ollie, it's me. It's Mr Han..." before he could get another word out Oliver turned around and buried his head into Hank's chest and told him everything in a traumatic babble. Tales of insane strung out criminals hitting him, touching him, and threatening to kill him if he didn't get another bag of white powder fast enough. It didn't stop at the gang members either. The Fosters would become cruel and abusive too. So much so he had to go as far as to run from the house to be safe from harm. After dark and disturbing story after dark and disturbing story, it all came out. It came out so fast Hank was concerned Oliver was about to become sick all over the floor. He was so worked up he was choking on what little spit he had and heavily wheezing and gasping for air. Hank was speechless. The pure terror and pain on the boy's face was agonizing. But what was even more torture was what came from Oliver's mouth next.
