{name:Mackenzie#|#picture:33}" So... since we have a little ride together, mind telling me a little about yourself? Like yur name... where yur from... why you drank more than my uncle Felix at christmas?"
If it had been another time and place Mackenzie might have laughed a little at her reference to her Uncle Felix at Christmas. Only all the memories of what her Mother had told her only added to the pile of stress that was her hand.
"My name's Mackenzie Hunter," Mackenzie replied quietly.
She briefly wondered if she should tell her about what had happened with her Mother. Though she decided against it because Mackenzie didn't know if she could trust her.
"I just had a bad day," Mackenzie mumbled before glancing at her hand, "and it got worse."

{name:Augusta#|#picture:8}Augusta smiled a very comforting smile. "I understand that. I have a 6 month old that is running a fever, and she threw up on me as I was leavin for work today." Augusta tried to make the girl feel more at ease with her. " Wanna tell me what happened to you?"

{name:Mackenzie#|#picture:33}Mackenzie felt a little more at ease now that she had shared something about herself. Maybe it wouldn't be the end of the world if she shared just a little bit about herself. Though she didn't know if she would be able to share what her Mother had told her. Even if she wanted too it was so difficult to say out loud.
"I grew up in Foster Care," Mackenzie said quietly, "My Mother had always been to drunk or high to care about me. I came here to try to get a new start."
Though running from your past only delays the inevitable. Mackenzie realized that the past always finds a way to catch up with you in the end.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}**Squad Room**
Jean finally made it out of interrogation, 3 hours after she had started. The guy was an arrogant prick, but not a murderer. Shame he hadn't felt the need to clue her in earlier. She glanced around the squad room, knowing Elliot was off today, but wondering where the hell the rest of her colleagues had gone.
"I haven't been in there that long!" She mumbled, as she switched her phone on, only for it to blip angrily that she had a message. Listening to it, she grinned, and put it back, grabbing her jacket, and ignoring the growing files as she headed to the bar.
**Bar**
She headed into the bar, noticing pretty much her entire team crowded inside. She also noticed the evident strain, and concerned glances.
"Hey guys, sorry, hellish interregation...What?" She said, after realising that this wasn't a ordinary 'drink to forget' gathering.

{name:Augusta#|#picture:8}Augusta gave her shoulder a squeeze as the ambulance arrived at the hospital. " If you want to talk to me more later we can. The doctors are going to take care of you. I will wait for you if you want?" The medics were unloading her.

Mackenzie could tell that, unlike other people who had told her that, Augusta actually meant every word that she said. Mackenzie even found herself trusting the women. It wasn't something she had done in a long time.
"Do you think we could talk later?" Mackenzie asked quietly unsure of what she was saying.

{name:Augusta#|#picture:8}Augusta smiled sweetly at her.
" Yea, I'll wait out here for you until they have you all fixed up."
She nodded at the paramedics that were taking her into the ER.
Don't forget kid, I'll be waiting for ya." She gave the girl's shoulder one last squeeze before letting the medics take her.

{name:Mackenzie#|#picture:33}It was comforting knowing that someone was waiting for her. She remembered how she had broken her arm once at school while in foster care. Her foster parents hadn't even bothered to come pick her up. After hours of waiting her social worker had to be called so he could take her home.
Mackenzie tried to think of other things as the doctors worked on her hand. It was painful until they were able to numb it. It seemed to take forever and she shut her eyes tightly as she waited for them to finish.

{name:Augusta#|#picture:8}Augusta walked into the room as the nurses were leaving. She smiled at her.
" Looks like you survived. You still want to talk? Or do you want to rest? I can sit here with you while you rest if you like?"
She sat in a chair next to the bed.

{name:Mackenzie#|#picture:33}Mackenzie remained silent for a moment as she studied her. She could tell that Augusta actually cared and wanted to hear about what Mackenzie had to say. She figured that Augusta had had a whole night planned with her friends, but instead she was sitting in the hospital with her.
"I knew I shouldn't drink that much," Mackenzie said quietly, "I've seen what it did to my Mother. I guess knowing that I was the reason my Mom drank and did drugs was my fault made want to forget."
Mackenzie looked at the wall opposite of her. She looked anywhere but at who she was speaking too. Mackenzie wasn't used to opening up to people so she didn't know if she could look at the reaction that Augusta was giving.

{name:Augusta #|#picture:8}Augusta watched her with a compassionate look. " Mackenzie.... why do you think your mom's drinking was your fault? Did something happen?"

{name:Mackenzie#|#picture:33}Mackenzie replayed the words that her Mother had spoken earlier that day in her mind. She knew it was all her fault even if her Mom had told her it wasn't. Even though she hadn't seen her Mother in years she still remembered every detail about her. Her Mother had used the same face that she had worn when she would win Mackenzie back from social services saying that she was going to stay clean from then on. It had never been true so she didn't believe her Mother earlier that day either.
"I was born because she was raped," Mackenzie said quietly, "I know she did all that because I reminded her of that day."

{name:Olivia#|#picture:13}***BAR***
Olivia shook her head to reassure Jean that everything was fine. "Just someone drinking too much," she said quietly, "Augusta ran with her to the hospital."
"Have you seen El?" She asked, trying to change the subject.

{name:Augusta #|#picture:8}Augusta reached into her pocket and pulled out her badge. Tucked in it was a studio picture of a sleeping newborn baby girl wrapped in a white sheet, laying on her belly, and wearing tiny angel wings.
" You see this little Girl Mackenzie? I want you to take a good look at her before you answer me."

{name:Mackenzie#|#picture:33}Mackenzie studied the picture very carefully. She didn't speak right away because she wasn't sure what she was supposed to see in the picture. She thought the baby was adorable and she wondered for a moment about a name.
"Yes," Mackenzie said quietly unsure if she had spoken too soon, "I see her."
