Forbidden Love | Jake Peralta

Chapter 2

Once Olivia's wounds had healed, they took her back to the precinct to interrogate her. Jake always thought he was an excellent judge of character, until her. He just didn't know what to do since he thought he was always right.

"So Olivia, you're being accused of the murders of 38 people. Care to explain yourself?" Jake slammed the table. Olivia didn't care, much so as to flinch. She sat on the other side, legs and arms crossed with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Come on! You don't even have enough evidence to back it all up!"

"AHA! So you admit that you did it out of cold blood!"

Inside the observation room, Rosa rolled her eyes. Sure she was the primary on this case, but Jake was dying to get a confession out of her. Most likely because he wanted to redeem himself.

"Look, we can stay here alllllllllllllll day if you wanted to, I got no plans," he looked proudly.

"You said that last part very arrogantly as if it's a good thing"

"Just tell us why you did it!" Jake was becoming increasingly frustrated. He considered using the guitar again, even though it never works.

Olivia sighed, "fine, do you want to know why I did it?"

"Yes of course!"

She leaned up close to Jake's ear and whispered, "because I didn't do it." She leaned back into her chair and smirked. Rosa gave up watching Jake's futile attempt and went in.

"It doesn't matter what you say, Olivia, your prints are in the system, you've got no alibi and we've got sufficient evidence to place you for at least one murder. One is enough to get you 25 years," Rosa stated.

"We've been building a case against you for a long time Olivia, there's no way out." She sighed and started to have a contemplative look on her face.

"What if I got you a bigger fish? You know, someone involved in that drug bust you found me at?" Rosa and Jake shared a look. "You're gonna need to give us a bigger fish than low-level dealers you know."

"What if we're talking one of the lead distributors of coke here? I'm talking Marvin Rodriguez." Their ears perked up. "I give you Rodriguez, you drop all charges against me."

"We'll speak to our captain about that, in the meantime, you stay here, don't go anywhere!" Jake pointed at her and left the room with Rosa, leaving Olivia confused with Jake's statement. Where else could she go?

"So what she's saying is that she can get us to Marvin Rodriguez?" Captain Holt looked slightly interested, from what Rosa and Jake guessed, they could never tell.

"Yes, and in exchange, we drop all charges," Rosa confirmed.

"That's ridiculous, even if she was convicted for only one murder, the most we can do is reduce her sentence because shes suspected for 37 more! Why can't we just question the men you brought in?"

"Those guys are useless, they don't know anything. Rodriguez is one of the lead distributors, I've been chasing him for months!" Jake whined. 

"How sure are we that she won't double-cross us, Jake?"  

"Come on Rosa, a 1000 pushups."
