Title: Special Victims Indeed

Disclaimer: I don't any of these characters…except Ryland…Dick Wolf has all creative rights…but he's always screwing us over. Hehe

Summary: Case-file. The mentally handicapped are the target of brutal murders…the entire team must find the killer, but he strikes again. (Crappy summary, but you'll get over it. ;p)

Ryland Somerset walked down the hall of the Brown Adult Home, a residential facility for the mentally handicapped, making sure each resident was awake and preparing for their day.

She looked into the last room and saw a motionless figure sprawled out on the bed, covers pulled up around the head.

"Alright Carrie…..you know it's almost….Holy Mother."

Ryland picked up the phone and dialed 9-1-1. She fought back a smile that tugged on her lips…but then burst into tears….

"You have to help me….there's been….she's DEAD!….I can't, calm down. Where? Oh….Brown Adult Home….you have the address….okay, okay. No, I won't….no, I'll be okay soon enough. Thanks."

She hangs up the phone, kneels down beside the victim, "Softball still your favorite Carrie?"

Ryland stands and again forces up tears, and this time not fighting a small smirk of victory, then hysterics and she runs out into the hall and collapses,

"Man, why these people huh," Elliot Stabler remarks to his partner Olivia Benson as they walk down the hall to the crime scene.

"Because it's easy."

"I guess."

The two detectives flash their badges and enter the room.

"You gotta be Special Victims….Alverez, Homicide."

Elliot accepts the handshake while Olivia surveys the scene. "Stabler…..Benson. What do we got?"

"Twenty seven year old female, Carrie Bowersock. Volunteer found the body."

"Cause of death?"

Dr. Melinda Warner speaks up, while still working, "I can't say officially yet, but my bet is blunt force trauma to the head."

Elliot kneels down beside the body, "Uh, yeah…but with what exactly…crutch….cane…baseball bat?"

"Could be anyone of those things…but it's defiantly cylindrical….I'll know more later."

Elliot shifts out of the way as the medical examiners assistants place the body into a bag, "So, why is this our catch? Cause she was in here?"

Dr. Warner sighs, "I found bruising on her upper thighs and swelling, but no presence of fluids. But my guess is…she was probably raped with the same object that they used to beat her to death with."

"Not really what they mean by go down swinging," Olivia retorts, in barely a whisper.

Dr. Warner smiles sadly as she and her assistants wheel out the body bag. Elliot sighs and Alverez pats him on the shoulder.

"Hope this cleans up fast for you all."

Olivia looks around, "Us too….so, you said a volunteer found her?"

"Yeah….name's Ryland Somerset. Pretty lady, gorgeous blue eyes. Real shaken up…medics had to treat her for shock, collapsed in the hall after the discovery."
