It was a tough case, and to make it worse, the jury delivered a not guilty verdict. That was a punch in the gut to the whole squad. But Liv took it the hardest. The girl was a product of rape and when her step father found out, he became abusive towards her and her mother. She was only 11 when her step father started raping her, and they didn't catch him til she was 16. And now, he's free.
Rafael Barba walked into his usual bar, a block away from the one the squad usually went to, when he saw Olivia at the bar. He was shocked to see her there, since he had never seen her there and never told anyone about it.
"Hey Liv," Barba said as he walked up to her.
"Barba?" She slurred.
"Olivia, how long have you been here?" He asked her.
"When did we get the verdict?" She continued to slur.
"Liv, you've been here since 4?!" It was currently 8pm.
"Yeah, I guess,"
Barba called over the bartender. "Excuse me sir, when did your shift start?"
"At 3,"
"Do you know how many drinks she's had?" Rafael asked referring to Olivia.
"Um, I believe 6 beers, 4 shots of vodka, 2 shots of whiskey, and some nachos."
"Good Lord, Liv! I'm getting you home." He stated to her as he got out a 50 dollar bill along with a 20 and put it on the counter.
"Hnnmm," she mumbled.
Rafael swung Olivia's left arm around his shoulders and helped her outside, where he proceeded to hail a cab.
"Where to?" The cab driver asked.
At this point, Liv had already passed out, so he decided to bring her to his apartment. He gave the cabbie his address, and they were on their way.
