The Fair
The fair was in the area and took place in central park. All of the available cops were walking through the park and keeping everyone safe. Elliot and Olivia had made what was their 7th round walking through the throughway. They saw a young blond hop back in line at the Tunderbolt. Olivia laughed, "That has to be what, her 10th round?" She stated.
"I think it is. We've seen her in line or on that ride every time we've walked past it. What I wonder though is why she wears amber sunglasses on the ride." Elliot observed.
"Perhaps the strobes bother her." Olivia suggested. It was true that strobe lights could cause seizures even in people who weren't prone to them.
After the 11th round on that ride they saw the girl walk to the line where Momo the monster was. The young lady was walking like she was drunk. Motion sickness had to suck. The two continued walking rounds for another few hours until the fair closed for the night. They no longer saw the young lady and figured she had gone home. About 15 minutes after the fair had closed, the workers were about done closing up. Elliot and Olivia had gone to their car getting ready to go home for the night. The radio crackled to life. "Young blond with amber sunglasses found in the woods, possible rape, bruises everywhere." The two partners just looked at each other. They were pretty sure it was the blond they had seen earlier in the night. They headed for the scene and were there in just a few minutes.
"She's still out cold. Possible seizure. Can't be more than 15 at best. ID in her wallet states her name is April Johnson." The cop near the girl said.
"We saw her a couple hours ago. She had gone on the Thunderbolt so many times it was unreal. What happened?" Olivia asked.
"We won't know till she wakes up. However from the scene we can tell she had a seizure and was grabbed. She may not have even fully known what was happening. From what we can tell it went on for a couple hours." The cop determined.
"Lets find out who her parents are and get her to the hospital." Elliot said as an ambulance arrived. Both detectives got in and rode to the hospital with young April. Elliot noticed that other than the blond hair the child looked like what he thought a young Olivia would. He noticed his partener staring at the child with a far away look in her eye.
When they got to the hospital the squad was there as well. "Young April here seems to have no parents. From the information we gathered she was in foster care until the age of 12 when she ran away a year ago. No one was able to find her and the case went cold. Her parents had put her up for a closed adoption the day she was born. We can't get the records right now due to all of the red tape but we will find out who they were. Might help us with the case.
