{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna nodded, then winced - the action hurting her head. "So, it was nothing to do with the desk throwing this morning" she thought to herself. Remembering that she should really answer she said "OK then, well I'm ready to learn!" She swooned, and sat on the floor. "Is it OK if I get my head stitched up first?" She said grinning and wincing at the same time, "I'm not sure that cop did such a good job on it!"

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Yeah, about that, I'm taking you to the hospital to get that done," Jess stated matter-of-factly.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna felt herself be dragged from the precinct by Jess, and jumped into the car beside her. "So then do we have a case to work on?" she asked as Jess pulled away. It had been a long day so far, and she needed some perp catching action.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Nope, not yet, but we'll see if there's anything we can do when we get back to the precinct," Jess stated as she drove off to the hospital.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna leaned her head back and closed her eyes. Olivia had only said good about her partner, and she hoped this case would be a learning curve. On her first case, Olivia had been great, and she trusted her as a good judge of character. The leather felt cool against her neck, and she felt the banging in her head cease a little. "I wonder who Olivia will be partnering with?" She thought to herself.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna came out of the hospital laughing, Jess following closely. "I'm sorry, but how hot was that doctor?" She said a huge grin on her face. "I'd let him stitch me up any day!" They made their way back to the car, but in the corner of her eye, Anna saw a small face peering out behind a bin. "Hang on." She motioned to Jess. She walked around the bin, and saw a little girl crouched by the skip. "Hey there," She said to the little girl, her face covered in mud and clothes tattered. "Where's you're Mummy?" The little girl reached up her arms, and clutched around Anna's neck. She stood up, carrying the little girl. She looked at Jess, and felt her eyes to burn and well up.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"What's your name, kiddo?" Jess asked gently as Anna sat the girl down in the back of the blue sedan. "Is your parents anywhere nearby?"

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna watched as Jess tried to get the name of the little girl. "Hey, hon, why don't we go get some ice-cream? Would you like that?" The little girl's face lit up at the mention of ice cream. "Can you tell us you're name now? Look, I'm a cop, and so is my, ahm, partner here. I'm Anna, and this is Jess." "Sophie." The little girl whispered, pulling her thumb out of her mouth and latched on to Anna again. Anna noticed a spot of blood on Sophie's dress, and looked at Jess. "Hospital?" she mouthed at Jess, and motioned to the blood.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess gave Anna a small nod. "Hey, what do you say we go into the cafeteria at the hospital and get some ice cream?" Jess suggested, and Sophie smiled widely.
"Okay then!" Jess said as she pulled the little girl up on top of her shoulders and trotted of to the hospital cafeteria.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna smiled as Jess hoisted Sophie up onto her shoulders. This was the worst part of her job. The kids. Let's just hope that little Sophie got lost from home and not something worse.
Anna signaled to the cafeteria. "Jess, do you wanna take Sophie for that Ice-cream we promised, and well, I'll get someone. She seems to like you."
"Hey, we've got a kid here who needs looking over!" She shouted over the din, with no response. "Hey now!"
She grabbed a doctor and pulled the badge from around her neck.
"Detective Tyler, yeah I've got a young girl here who needs looking over NOW."
The doctor stammered a response. "Erm, cubicle three is free. Just take her there."
She walked over to the cafeteria and saw Sophie giggle at Jess. Sitting down at the table, she gave Jess a grin.
"Cubicle three when we're ready."

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're gonna finish our ice cream first, aren't we Sophie?" Jess said playfully to her partner. The little girl nodded and gave a small smile to Anna, before she got back to eating her ice cream.
When Sophie had finished her ice cream, Jess suggested that Sophie go with her and Anna to see a doctor. Sophie hesitated a little, but agreed to go with Jess and Anna.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna watched as Jess carefully placed Sophie down on a table, having already changed her into a white gown. Anna put her clothes into a bag, just in case. A nurse came into the room followed by the doctor she had spoken to earlier. "OK Sophie the doctor is gonna take a look at you now, is that OK?" She saw Sophie flinch as he touched her arm. "How about if I hold you're hand? Huh?" Sophie nodded, and pointed to Jess. "Jess too? OK that's fine, we'll both stay."

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess and Anna held the girl's hand, while the doctor checked her out. Suddenly he stopped. "Detectives, may I have a word with you two outside?"

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna's heart stopped temporarily, her fears realised. She looked at Jess who in turn looked back gravely.
"You stay here Sophie, OK? Jess and I will be back in a second."
She stepped outside next to Jess and saw the look on her face. It wasn't good news. The doctor began to speak.
"As I was just telling your partner, you were right to bring this girl in. I'm afraid she's been raped. For quite a while, possibly an abusive household. Until we get the results back from her tests we won't know if she caught anything." Anna looked at Jess. She looked like Anna felt.
"I think we should get back in there." She said.
