a childs terror

While carisi and amanda continued working the other child's abduction, fin helped olivia try to figure out clarissas.

A month went by and they finally caught the man who had abducted the 3 previous girls but just as amanda and fin had suspected there was no signs Clarissa was ever with him. 2 of the girls bodies were buried in his backyard under a large tree and the most recent girl was found locked in a closet in the attic of his home barely alive.

Olivia tried to be productive and aware in the case but Clarissa being missing that whole month was taking its toll on her. She wasn't sleeping, she never let noah out of her sight even bringing him to the office a few times just to be near him. The whole squad was worried about her but especially fin and amanda who were closest to her.

"I don't know how much longer she can do this fin. I've never seen her so exhausted and stressed and she barely let's anyone watch noah anymore." Amanda said in a whisper tone.

"I know I'm talking to her and I'm trying to get her back to her shrink but she doesn't understand why lewis is deviating from his usual way of handling her. He hasn't tried to call, text or email to try and taunt her and there has been no sightings of a man with Lewis description in 2 weeks." Fin sighed deeply.

"You don't think he took her to Canada?" Amanda asked.

"No I'm pretty sure the border patrol would have recognized his scars. I think he's staying around this side of the country. I think he's planning something big for olivia and I just hope that little girl doesn't get hurt in the process." He continued as he glanced at olivia through the window to her office where she was sitting on the couch holding noah close in her arms.

Clarissa was sitting curled in a ball on a bed in a room inside the cabin william had brought her to a month ago. She could hear the muffled screams of a woman through the walls and she was covering her ears as she closed her tear filled eyes and whispered "mommy where are you?" To herself.

As the woman's screams stopped Clarissa shook as she heard footsteps coming down the hall and stopping at her door as the door creaked open. Clarissa backed as far against the headboard of the bed against the wall as she could. She watched silent and unmoving as he sat on the edge of her bed wiping blood from his hands. "I know darlin that this is all new to you but you'll get used it. See these women I bring here they all grew up bad and I'm just teaching them what it means to be good." He smirked and touched clarissas cheek as her body shook in fear. "But you...well your gonna grow up to be good....and if you don't then I'll have to punish you to when your a bit older." He chuckled.

"I...I want my mommy." She whimpered and put her face in her knees.

He sighed with a wicked grin. "Don't you worry darlin I'll be bringing your mommy here before you know it. She has to learn too you know?"

She shook her head in tears "please don't hurt mommy." She pleaded in a whimpering tone.

He chuckled and threw a brown paper bag with a sandwich and a bottle of juice on the bed and left the room without another word as he closed and locked the door.

She rocked back and forth terrified on the bed as she cried in to her knees.
