She jumped slightly as Elliot opened the door next to her. He smiled down at her. 

"Hey! Is he okay?" she asked, shifting the little boy, still sound asleep in her arms. He nodded, and bent to take Eli from her. 

"Yeah, he's fine. He's asking for you." He said, obviously exhausted. She nodded. 

"You got his statement though?" she said softly, he nodded, looking away. 

"Liv, that kid went through hell. I'm gonna go get a sitter and call everyone in. Its time to get this bitch." he said, a slight growl in his voice.  She gritted her teeth and nodded. 

"Thank you El." She put her hand briefly on his shoulder as she walked back into the room. Calvin looked up at her and smiled sadly, obviously tired. 

"Hi Livvy." He said softly. She smiled and sat next to him. 

"Hey Cal. Why dont you get some sleep, and I'll watch out for you, okay?" she asked him sweetly. He bit his lip and nodded. 

"Can I ask you something first?" he asked her hesitantly. She nodded. 

"Of course you can." she said. 

"Can I come home?"
