"Benson." Olivia grumbled into her cell phone. She rubbed her eyes, trying to rid them of sleep.
"Hey Liv, it's Amanda. We've got a vic at Bellevue. Fin found her in an alley with handcuffs. Cragen wants us to take the case, but Fin is staying with her until we get there." Amanda explained.
Olivia swung her feet onto the floor. "Okay, I'll meet you down there." She hung up her phone and turned to find Brian looking up at her. "When I come back, you better be moved out. I didn't want you in this bed period." She got out of the bed and went to the bathroom, feeling his eyes on her.
Later, Olivia met Amanda in front of the hospital. Amanda looked at the older woman and noticed her tired expression. "Hey, something happen?"
"Eh, Brian and I are through." Olivia sighed as she slipped her phone into her pocket. "I can't be with him when he's going to say his job is catching perps and getting lap dances." She shook her head as they entered the hospital. "Who's the vic?"
"Don't know yet. I haven't caught up with Fin yet." Amanda said as they walked through the hospital, finding Fin.
Fin yawned when he saw them. "Thank God! I need sleep. The only thing I found out is that the girl's name is Cody. I found her when I was driving home from the precinct. She was banging the handcuffs she had, on her, on a dumpster. Her wrists are pretty banged up."
Olivia nodded. "Okay, go get some sleep Fin." They watched as he nearly sprinted down the hallway before going into the hospital room. Cody was in her clothes, the hospital gown thrown onto the bed. She was wearing jeans with holes and a gray V-neck t-shirt. She was grabbing her things off the bed and putting them into her pockets. "Hello?"
Cody looked up as she put her phone in her pocket. "Hello? Who are you?"
"I'm Detective Amanda Rollins. This is Detective Benson." Amanda said, holding up her badge.
"I'm guessing you two work SVU with Detective Tutuola." Cody guessed as she taped up her wrist. She bit the tape, ripping it, so she could move onto the next wrist.
"Hey, don't you think a doctor should look them over? They look like they hurt." Amanda said stepping closer.
Cody bit the tape again, smoothing the tape over. "It'll hold until I can get a better look at it." She tossed the tape back onto the counter. "Look, I already thanked that other detective for helping me get out of the cuffs. I'd like to explain, but I have to get to work."
Olivia stepped in front of her. "How old are you?"
Cody's shoulder's slumped. "I'm eighteen, almost nineteen."
"Well, how about you come down to the precinct and explain why you were in handcuffs in an alleyway?" Olivia suggested, putting a hand on her back.
"There's nothing to explain." Cody groaned, grabbing her sweatshirt. "I was just having problems getting them off. Nothing to worry about."
Olivia nodded. "Okay, but let's just clear some things up." Cody rolled her eyes, but agreed.
Olivia and Amanda brought Cody to the precinct from the hospital. She looked around at all the detectives as they walked through, heading for an interrogation room. They entered the room before Amanda closed the door. Cody made herself comfortable right away, studying the room. "Do you want anything to eat or drink?" Olivia asked.
"No thanks." Cody said, running a hand through her hair. "Look, I have a job to do. Can we hurry this up? My boss isn't going to be happy if I'm talking with sex cops when I'm supposed to be doing my job."
"You're eighteen. I'm pretty sure your boss will understand if we want to talk to you." Amanda said sitting down in the chair across from her.
Cody chuckled. "I could get fired for just talking to you guys. Look, what I do is none of your business. It's not illegal. I'm saving people and putting others away. I basically do what you guys can't."
Olivia furrowed her eyebrows. "What, exactly, is your job?"
"It's need to know." Cody nodded with an annoyed smirk. She looked out the window to the squad room. Her eyes widened when she saw someone she knew. Before Olivia and Amanda could stop her, she was up and out of the room. "Nick?"
"Cody?" Nick breathed. He hurried to her, wrapping his arms around her. "I thought you were dead."
Cody pulled back to look at him. "I thought you were dead." She cupped his face in her hands. "I never thought I'd see you working sex crimes. It's a little ironic."
Nick smiled, his hands on her waist. "Yeah, it is." He sniffled, not believing that she was in front of him. "Wait," He frowned, his eyes becoming worried. "Why are you here? What happened?"
Cody shook her head. "I'm fine. I just had a little problem with Pablo."
"You-you ran into Pablo?" Nick asked, getting agitated. "The man that has almost killed you five times?"
"That's the one." Cody said with a small smile. "A different detective, Tutuola, found me in an alley trying to break out of my cuffs."
Nick took her wrists into his and looked at the many cuts and dark bruises she had. "Oh my God!" He looked into her eyes. "You hate cuffs." Cody nodded, not looking into his eyes. "C'mon, let's go somewhere more private." He said looking around at the many detectives staring at them.
Olivia stepped forward. "We had her in this interrogation room."
"I think I'll just work with Fin on his case." Amanda suggested before going over to Fin at the whiteboard. Olivia followed Nick and Cody into the interrogation room.
"Why are you messing with Pablo again?" Nick asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
Cody rolled her eyes at him. "I have a new job against him." She ran her hands through her hair, pulling it into a ponytail.
Nick's eyes widened. "Another one?" He groaned in frustration when she nodded.
"Who is Pablo and what is going on?" Olivia asked looking between her partner and the eighteen year old in front of her.
"Liv, this is Cody Mills. She is apart of an elite squad that works for the CIA. Her squad works here in Manhattan. Each squad rescues people who have been kidnapped or they help take down terrorists. The original squad consisted of twenty men. Each one of them had children and trained them exactly the way they were trained. Cody was part of the second squad to be formed. The first is in Washington." Nick explained looking from her to Cody as he spoke. "Pablo is notorious for kidnapping and torturing people. He's never been caught though."
"He only takes men." Cody added in. "Woman are objects to him. Men are people. He wants to see pain. He's taken fifty-two men. Most of them, he keeps for years. My squad and I have saved thirty-one men. The rest... we were too late."
Nick put his hand on her neck. "You can't blame yourself." He pulled her to his chest.
Olivia stepped forward. "So, he's taken another person?"
Cody looked at Olivia. "Yeah." She pulled out her phone. "He's an ex-marine. He has a wife and five kids. And, he used to work here. He was taken two years ago on September third."
Olivia's blood ran cold. "El-El-Elliot?"
"I'm guessing you were his partner." Cody sighed, her shoulders slumping.
"He-he's still alive? Right?" Olivia asked, feeling her heart rate accelerate. "He's okay?"
"For right now, he's alive. I don't know his current condition though." Cody said before looking up at Nick. "I'd need to get back to base to see him."
Nick looked at Olivia before looking back at Cody. "We'll help you save him."
