Chapter Two: Canvas

Olivia's POV:

It's 3:30pm. Zoe's not home yet, and I want not to freak out. She would never come home from school late and not call. She would never go to a friends house and not call me first. What the hell is going on? I'll wait until 4:00 and if she's not here, I'm calling the school and Lucy's parents.

At 3:40, I get a call from Amanda on my work phone.

"This is Benson. Rollins, this better be good, because I'm busy."I told her, I can't stop thinking about Zoe and what I need to do to look for her.

"Lucy Caine is dead."every word that came out of her mouth made the hair on my arms rise and my spine feel prickly. I stand up quickly and run to grab my coat.

"What happened to her? Where's Zoe?"I practically yelled to Rollins through the phone, I was walking downstairs to the car fast.

"They found her shot in the head about ten blocks away from your house. Zoe isn't with her, we have no idea where she is."she said, her voice quivering.

"Don't panic, Rollins. I love her too, and I promise we'll find her."I reassured her, but I don't even know where to start looking, or how to approach the situation.

"Ok, Liv, what do you want us to do first?"she asked me, I was at my car, I hook my cell up to the aux cord so I could talk and drive at the same time.

"I want you and Fin to talk to whoever discovered the body and everyone who lives on the street they walk down after school. I want Carisi down at the school with the principal. He has a way with words so he needs to ask for tapes, before he does that, he needs to make a call to Roger Whitney, I need him to be waiting outside of his store, I need his tapes. Nick, I want him to tell the Caine's about Lucy, after that I want him to stay at the precinct and answer phones. I'm going to meet Roger and look for other stores. Got it?"I asked her through the phone trying to sound composed.

"Got it, Sarge."said Amanda, she hung the phone up quickly, which I know means she's getting to work.

I'm trying to keep myself calm while I'm driving down to the stores on Main Street. A lot of places are closed today for some reason, there may be a storm. When I'm parked, I'm ready to get out of the car before I realize that I'm crying. Tears streaming down my face, hands shaking from the nerves.

"It's ok, Olivia. It's ok."I keep telling myself, but I don't know if it is, or if it ever will be.

When I get to Roger's one of three stores open during Lucy's murder, and possibly Zoe's abduction, Roger's outside the store with a few neighborhood people and his wife and children.

"Roger, can I speak with you inside?"I ask him.

"Anything for you, Sergeant."Roger's a good guy, he allowed me to check his cameras before when we've had assaults on this street. His cameras catch everything. We've won a ton of cases because of him, and so many people have been put in jail with his help.

"I'm sorry. I hope you catch the asshole who killed Lucy. And I hope you find Zoe."he sighed, then started to rewind the tape.

"Thank you for helping me, Roger."I say nicely with a smile, but inside I'm dying because I miss my daughter.

"Anytime." he says, "Ok, well, here you go."he says moving to show me the screens.

On the tape you can see Zoe and Lucy running all the way at the bottom of the street, getting closer and closer to Roger's. Across the street and a few stores back, you can see Lucy's body drop. Zoe tried to shake her up, but then looks through her backpack, when she doesn't find what she needs, she starts to panic again. From the corner of the video, you can see four men walking towards her and Lucy, they emerged from a black van. A man pulls out what looks like a pistol and Zoe covers her eyes. They shoot an unconscious Lucy in the head. The man who shot Lucy gets into the car while the three other men pick Zoe up, she puts up a fight but I know she isn't strong enough to handle them all. The men tape her mouth and then her wrists together and start to carry her away. She opens her eyes and looks at Lucy's dead body, I know she can't believe what she just saw.

"Roger, can I get a copy of this, please?"I ask him wiping the tears from my eyes.

"Anything you need, Sarge."he said, the expression on his face was sympathetic, he quickly made me a CD and I went back into my car.

I cried in my car for a good minute before I realize that I don't need to. From what I've seen; Zoe isn't dead. We just have to keep looking for her because something will come up eventually.

I turned the key to my car, and I drove back to the Manhattan precinct.

"Sarge."I heard my detectives say in unison, they were all sat at their desks waiting for their phones to ring.

"Fill me in."I say, standing in the middle of the precinct, visible to all of them.

"I told the family, they're torn, they just got back from Florida yesterday night. And the only calls we have are reporting the gunshots, nothing more than we already have."said Nick.

"No one on the street was out of their houses at that time. Main Street is really only filled with old people, and they say they heard nothing."said Amanda looking over at Fin.

"I called Roger like you asked, and I talked to the principal, I had her show me all the tapes in the school and around it. No one suspicious, mostly kids. During the morning time though, I saw Lucy talking to a boy in the hallway, Zoe wasn't with her, which I thought was odd, but of course, I don't know what they were talking about."said Carisi, worry in his eyes.

"You find out who the boy was?"I asked him, taking the case file off of his desk.

"Uh-Perry? Paul? No, it was Peter. Peter Landry. I made sure to ask her principal."he told me surely snapping his fingers.

"Get him down here, Carisi. I-"I was cut off by the sounds of everyone's work phone going off. Then we were all emailed.

Me, Amanda, Nick, Fin, and Carisi look at each other.

"No one open anything yet."I say sternly, I walk to my office, by now, the whole precinct is silent. I grab the remote to the projector and turn it on, I program it to my computer and stare at the unopened email.

"What happens if I open it?"I asked Fin.

"It could be a virus, or a hack, or it could be important."he says carefully.

"What do you think I should do guys?"I ask them all.

"Go for it, Liv."Nick says confidently, the rest of my detectives look at me and nod.

"Ok, here it goes."

It's live video footage. As soon as I open it, I hear screaming...Zoe screaming. The camera turns towards her body, and she's in her bra and underwear, arms handcuffed above her head to a pole, and her feet shackled.

"Somebody help!"she screams with a cry.

"Shut up, Bitch! No one can hear you!"A deep voice yells at her, he comes from behind the camera and walks over to her.

They're in a kind of huge warehouse, I want to cry looking at Zoe's body. Her blonde hair is out, she has a cut above her forehead, her nose is bleeding and her knees and thighs are bruised. I never realized how bony Zoe was, I don't even see her eat when I'm around her. Does she eat?

"I could do this all day long, Baby. You,"he said, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing his body against hers, "are hot. Normally, I'd wait, but you're so sexy, I couldn't resist."he said evilly.

Zoe coughed up some blood and spit it out on the floor.

"There's a name for people like you."she said, which surprised me, her sassy tone apparent, just as mine is when I'm angry and scared.

All the detectives look at me worriedly.

"Fin, try and trace this video, it's a live feed."I told him, and he started working fast.

"And that name is?"he asked, with a dreamy look on his face.

"A pervert," the look disappeared off his face, "a rapist, an abuser. All words that describe someone that believes being a man is putting his hands on a woman or a child for his own feeling of control."she yelled angrily.

"Feisty, huh?"he asked locking his arms around her tighter, her ribs were prominent and jagged, it's probably hard to breathe.

"I have to be,"she coughed, "I might die here and only you know where I am. Why are you doing this?"she asked crying.

"The question isn't why I'm doing this, Baby. It's how I'm doing this. I'm going to do you one more time on that mattress...then I'm going to let you out, you can find your own way home." he said putting his hands on her shoulders, something that caused her to cringe, "Plus, I used you when you were a virgin, after this, you won't be anymore."he said with an evil laugh, he started to walk slowly towards the camera.

"Fin!"I yelled, wanting to know if he found anything.

"I can't find it, we can't get a tag on that location. I'm sorry, Liv."he said to me with a sigh.

"Mom! Help me, Mom! Please find me, I can't do this alone! I don't know where I am."she's choking on every word, she's having a panic attack, attempting to kick and thrash, but she can't. I want to hold her and help her so much, but I don't know what to do.

Before I know it, the window is closed and the feed is over.

We have to find Zoe.

"Like I said Carisi, get that Peter boy down here."
