Author's Note:
This is the first crime/detective style I've written, so comment would be very much appreciated. This is more of an introduction chapter, and if readers like it I will certainly keep writing. If you don't agree with or like female/female relationships please feel free to stop reading at any time, but only positive comments would be appreciated. Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you enjoy this story.
The girl's body had been left in a familiar dirt covered alley. Her clothes had been torn off, and the remains of them laid burned off to the side. "What happened here?" Elliot heard Olivia's voice behind him as she saw the fire being put out. Elliot had been unable to stare long at the body. With long blond hair, blue eyes, and a smaller frame she reminded him of his own daughter. They were around the same age at sixteen, but Elliot's daughter was still alive. The close resemblance would make this case harder than it already was for him. "Guy found the victim around one this morning. Whoever did this decided to torch some of the evidence." Olivia looked at the victim and stopped for a moment, she recognized some of the clothing from a store she shopped at.
"Elliot, those burned clothes would have cost her hundreds. How can a sixteen year old girl afford that?" Elliot just looked at her for a moment before shaking his head. "Maybe she had a sugar daddy?" Olivia shook her head kneeling by the body for a better look. "Elliot, she has a pink triangle tattoo on her shoulder. I think you struck out with the sugar daddy." Elliot found himself laughing at the comment; it was now two in the morning. He knelt down next to Olivia to see what she was talking about. Sure enough there was a pink triangle with black outline on her shoulder. "She's underage to have that. Maybe if we're lucky we'll find the place that did it. They could lead us to a potential boyfriend perhaps?" Olivia looked at him and smiled for a moment, something amused her.
She looked at Elliot getting back up, before they left the crime scene. "We should start with her school. See if her friends know anything, and then we can narrow down a time." Elliot nodded while getting into the car. "You buying coffee or am I?" Olivia looked at Elliot as he drove back to the station, and she smiled from the tired look on his face. "Why don't we just get some at the precinct? You look as tired as I feel." Elliot took his eyes off the road for a moment to look at her. She had put on her makeup somehow, probably in the car on the way. Her clothes were ironed, but probably left by the side of her bed just in case. He hadn't seen how tired she was on the surface, until he found out her schedule. "Hey we're back already." Olivia laughed getting out of the car. "Only took two hours sleep this time."
Elliot went through a few facts that he knew while the group tried to compare thoughts. "Girl's around sixteen, rape then left in an alley. Probably dragged but not kidnapped, which means she probably didn't know her attacker. Body had noticeable bruising on her thighs along with her arms." Olivia picked up her own notepad and sighed before reading off her list. "The victim had noticeable marks on her wrists, probably from a rope. Her clothes left in a pile to burn, but they were torn. She had a tattoo on her left shoulder, a pink triangle." Elliot looked at Olivia and noticed she seemed a little off. "A tattoo bother you Liv?" Fin began to laugh across the room next to Elliot's desk, and it earned him a dirty look from Elliot. "Ever get the feeling you're missing something Elliot?" Fin looked at Elliot and noticed he was getting a little angry.
Olivia smiled slightly looking at Elliot; she always looked mischievous when she smiled like that. "Elliot a pink triangle is a gay pride symbol. Our victim was probably at the least bisexual." Elliot looked at Fin a bit surprised. "And you knew this?" Fin got up from his desk and grabbed a cup of coffee from the machine. "Yeah, you learn a thing or two when you're son is gay." Olivia looked up at Fin a bit surprised. "You got a better relationship with your son now?" Fin nodded. "Yeah, no thank to his mother." Munch began to laugh slightly. "What wife was it this time?" Elliot's laughter could be heard throughout the squad room, and it was a much need relief. Their captain made his way from his office holding a big vanilla folder. That was never a promising sight for them, and it usually meant they were in trouble.
"Everybody listen up, her name's Jasmine Harrison." Munch ran the name through his mind before it finally hit him. "Harrison, as in Judge Harrison?" Elliot looked up at the captain almost swearing under his breath. "Great a judge's daughter, that'll make this case top priority." The captain looked at Elliot and sighed starting to feel the political pressure already. "Yeah well, she's still a victim here and until we know otherwise this our case." Olivia got up from her desk grabbing her coat ready to get started on the case. They'd at least know where to start now from the I.D. in the victim's purse. Alex Cabot walked into the squad room just as Olivia was going to tell Elliot they were going to the high school. Olivia was surprised to see Alex in the squad room again, but it was a welcome sight.
"Did I hear right? Judge Harrison's daughter is dead?" The captain looked at Alex a bit surprised to see her. It was however a judge's daughter and that meant the ADA would make sure this case had top priority. "Yeah, don't tell me the case already hit your office." Alex smiled a little nodding, yet Olivia noticed something was wrong with Alex. Her makeup was a bit smeared as if she had been crying, and her voice sounded desperate to learn the truth. Elliot looked at Olivia while grabbing his jacket, and noticed how Olivia seemed glued to Alex lately. Perhaps she had been working too hard, and simply needed another female to talk to. Most of the detectives in the squad room were male, and that made Olivia feel trapped sometimes.
