Chapter 1
SVU Precinct Friday March 20: 5:00 PM
It was finally the weekend! Olivia couldn't wait to get out of the precinct, get home and into a nice warm bubble bath. Her arms hurt… her legs hurt… hell,
her whole body hurt!
She and Elliot had just gotten back from a long foot chase with an idiot who wouldn't stop for 2 miles, and made them both volt 2 fences, before a branch
tripped him and sent him sprawling on the asphalt. Elliot had taken advantage of his misfortune, cuffed him, and they'd put away the rapist of 3 children under five!
She still couldn't believe it! How could someone rape a baby? She'd been at SVU for a little over eleven years… thought nothing had surprised her… but this?
She threw a file on top of the stack and stood.
"So, what's on tap for the weekend?" Munch asked as he sat right on the file Olivia had just thrown on the top of her growing stack, that was precariously balanced on the top of her desk.
Elliot smirked at him as Olivia gave him a not-so-friendly shove off the stack and off her desk.
"Nothing! I'm going to go home, light some candles, and pour a glass of wine. Then, I'm going to open my new bottle of bubble-bath I got for my birthday,
and take a nice, long, luxuriating bubble bath... and before you ask, no you may not join me!"
"Wow Liv... way to shoot a guy down!" Fin chimed in.
"Sheesh, and I wasn't even going to ask if I could join her this time!" Munch said chuckling.
"'Night guys!" Olivia said as she shrugged into her jacket and grabbed her purse. "See you all Monday!"
"If you wait a second I'll walk you out," Elliot said as he pulled on his jacket.
"Hurry up… I want to beat rush hour!"
"See ya all Monday, and I'm not sorry you two got stuck with the weekend shift," Elliot quipt, dodging the spitball Munch launched at him.
Streets of Manhattan
"So, seriously Liv… got any weekend plans?"
"Not really… just relaxing… not working… try to forget about today… isn't that a good plan?"
"Yeah, but I was wondering…"
"Wondering what Ell?"
"I was wondering… want to grab some coffee?"
"What's wrong with you? You never hesitated asking me to go for coffee before. What gives?"
"Well…" Elliot sighed, "I need a favor."
"What?"
"I think Lizzie has a new boyfriend, and she doesn't want to talk to me about him… and I need a sounding board on how to talk to her… about sex."
"What about Kathy? Why not talk to her… you're her parents and shouldn't you both be having this conversation with Lizzie?"
"Yeah… Kathy got edgy when I tried to approach her before… We try to keep our conversations to a minimal since the divorce. I mean, we get along, but we're
not at the point yet where we can be in the same room. I know… not good for the kids, but we're working on it. O, and it's Liz, by the way."
Olivia smiled. "Was wondering when that was going to happen."
"What?"
"When Lizzie would stop being Lizzie, and be Liz, Dickey would stop being Dickey, and be Dick or Rich." She grinned and punched him playfully on the arm.
"Well, will you?"
"When?"
"Tomm—" his cell phone rang and as he reached for it from his pocket, Olivia's rang also. He looked at her holding up his hand… "I got it, it's Cap."
"What's up Cap… ok… 5 minutes… she's with me… we'll be there." Elliot shut his phone and turned to Olivia. "We've got to go back to the station… Cragen
needs all four of us on this.
She sighed, wondering what they were in for now. "Ok… let's go."
SVU Precinct
"So, what's going on?" Olivia asked as her and Elliot walked into the bullpen.
"in here… all of you." Captain Cragen shouted.
They all looked at each other and shrugged.
"What's up, Cap?" Fin asked as they all stood in front of Cragen's desk.
"We have a situation. A twenty-one-year-old college student was just raped, and badly beaten while she was walking home from the subway with her dog. Her situation is delicate… she's
unconscious… and once she's awake you're going to have a problem getting a description."
"Why?" Olivia asked as she stopped taking notes.
"Well… she's not like any other victim we've ever had…she's blind."
