“Who did, sweetie?” Abby asked. “Your uncle?”
Olivia nodded.
“Did he hurt you, Olivia?” Katherine asked.
She shook her head. “He would stand next to my bed. He touched himself…there. A few nights ago, he tried to lift my T-shirt, but I pretended to be asleep and rolled over. I ran away the next day.”
“Where does your aunt live?” Abby asked.
“Kentucky.”
“How did you get here?” Katherine asked.
“Greyhound part of the way, train the rest.”
He caught the stark look of terror on Abby’s face when she glanced at Katherine.
“You said you have your birth certificate?” Katherine asked.
Olivia nodded and pulled it from the folder.
“Okay. I’m going to take pictures of these and reach out to some of my contacts. I’ll wait until Monday when all the offices are open, okay? Abby, how does your schedule look next week?”
“It’s spring break. I have the entire week off.”
“Okay. I’ll make some calls and set up appointments for next week.”
Abby looked at Olivia. “Okay?”
Olivia nodded and Abby looked back at Katherine. “Okay.”
That was the signal for them to stand.
“I’ll be right back,” Abby told Olivia.
Tink grabbed his jacket and followed Katherine outside. Abby closed the door behind them.
“Jesus.” She covered her face with her hands before scraping her hands over her scalp and grabbing the back of her neck. “Anything could have happened to her.”
“She’s safe,” Katherine said. “The important thing now is to make sure she stays that way.”
Abby nodded and blew out a breath.
“Is her father an option?” Katherine asked.
“I doubt it,” Abby said. “I wouldn’t know how to get a hold of him anyway.”
“We’ll keep that option as a last resort,” Katherine said.
“You good with me bringing Angie in on this?” he asked Abby.
“Why?”
“Need to check for any police reports or Amber alerts.”
“Oh, shit. Will they come for her?”
“They won’t know about her until we report it through the courts,” Katherine said. “But first, I’m going to consult with a lawyer and a social worker friend of mine.”
