Olivia's Mission

Chapter 8: A Suspect

(Olivia's POV)

Play the song when you get to the memory part of the book

"Agent Chandler, have you seen Agent Wilmot?", asks Detective Prescott as I walk into his office. I nod, pointing behind me, "Right here", I say. Scarlett smiles, looking down at the floor, "Sorry Detective Prescott, I just wanted to do something fun besides look up information, I wanted to go with Liv", she says. I glare at her, "Please don't call me that", I say, memories of James flooding through my mind. Scarlett nods as she keeps looking down, "Sorry", she says softly. Detective Prescott looks at us, grumpily, "I see", he says in a deep voice. I hand him the folder from the police station, "Here is the folder from the police station with more information, the lady at the desk said to bring it back by tomorrow because they are still putting more information in there", I say. Detective Prescott takes the folder, looking through it, "Agent Wilmot, research, now", he says sternly. Scarlett nods and walks out of his office, "Olivia, I'm impressed", he says, still in a dark voice. I nod, "Thank you, I tried to find as much information in there as I can, about when she went missing", I say, keeping my eyes on the folder in Detective Prescott's hand. Suddenly, an agent bursts into the office, "Detective Prescott, we have a suspect", she says out of breath. Detective Prescott rushes out of his office, getting to the agent's desk. I fast walk out of his office, then walking over to the agent's desk, "Look!", she says in shock. Detective Prescott and I look to see a guy, looks like in his late 30's, dressed in a white t-shirt and jeans, staring at us, "His name is Daniel Henderson", says the agent. I look at the computer, "He disappeared the day Samantha Wells went missing", says the agent. I nod, "Olivia, you need to go to his house and ask question about Samantha's disappearence", says Detective Prescott. I nod, walking to my office, "Got it!", I say. I then look at the time and realize, my shift is over, "See ya tomorrow Agent Chandler", says Detective Prescott as he passes my office. I nod, waving back at him. I then get my coat and bag, heading out. I get to my car and start the car. I then hear my phone ring. I grab it out of my bag and answer the phone, "Hello?", I ask. I hear crying and screaming in the background, "Hey Liv, It looks like Sophia is getting a cold and Caleb is a straight spoiled brat", says my mother. I start the car and put the call on Bluetooth, "Give Sophia a dose of medicine in the fridge and give Caleb a time out if he is acting like a spoiled brat", I say tiredly. My mother sighs, "How do you do all of this Liv?", she asks me. I laugh tiredly, "It's the life of a family, I have to deal with it, it's not new to me", I say as I stop at the stoplight. My mother laughs, "Your so funny, anyway, I'm gonna head out, I'll see you when you get home", she says and hangs up. I hang up, driving again as I put my phone in my bag.

10 minutes later

"I'm home", I say as I close the front door. Silence. I set my bag on the table, taking my shoes off, "MOMMY", I hear Caleb say loudly. I turn around to see Caleb running towards me, "Hey little man", I say happily as I pick him up, ruffling his brown hair. Caleb smiles, showing his baby teeth, "I got ice cream", he says all hyped up. I smile, "Awesome", I say as I set him down. Caleb runs off into his bedroom, disappearing, "Hey, your home", I hear my mother say. I look to see her coming down the hall, smiling, "Yeah", I say softly. My mother rubs my shoulder, "You seem pretty down, what's up?", she asks me. I sigh, looking at her annoyed, "Why did you give Caleb ice cream?", I ask tiredly. My mother sighs, "He was a good boy today, he deserved a award", she says. I walk into the living room and sit on the couch, "Yeah but, give him something that doesn't have sugar in it, like maybe a toy, that would be fine with me", I say annoyed. My mother sits down next to me, "I'm sorry Liv, I didn't mean to", she says sadly. I sigh, "It's okay", I say tiredly as I get up off the couch. I then start to head upstairs, heading to Sophia's room. I walk into her room to see her sleeping. I smile and walk out of her room, heading to my room, "I'll see you tomorrow Liv", says my mother as I hear her close the door. I sigh, plopping on my bed, looking at the ceiling, "I wish I didn't have any kids, I'm a terrible mother", I say to myself quietly. I then look to my left to see the picture of James and I, me holding my engagement ring up, laughing. I then remember the time he proposed to me, leaving it as a surprise.
