Okay, let me set something straight so you guys understand the story… Elliot's daughter Maureen did not go to Hudson University, she went to New York University in Manhattan, New York… she is 18, I don't know if that's how old she is on the show or not… and well that's about it. Enjoy! Reviews are welcomed and greatly appreciated.   :)

Small World

"Hey Liv" Elliot Stabler said as he came to stand beside his partner in the hallway of Manhattan General Hospital.

"Hey, long drive huh?" She commented. It was not everyday they got call to the middle of Manhattan for a victim.

"Yeah." He said before looking towards the room Olivia had been standing in front of.

"The victim in there?" he asked her, sticking his hands in his pockets. He was dressed in jeans a t-shirt and casual jacket. He never made the effort to dress in a suit when they got called in the middle of the night.

"Yeah, female age eighteen found raped and beaten in a park close to the University." Olivia answered somewhat tiredly. She had just gone to bed when she got called to come to Manhattan.

"Is she a student there?"

"No one knows, she didn't have any ID on her and refuses to even tell what her name is"

"Have you talked to her yet?" he asked running a hand over his hair with a sigh.

"No I just got here five minutes ago, the doctors filled me in on what happened."

"What about the cops that brought her in? Are they still around?" Elliot questioned his partner.

"No, apparently a good samaritan found her and brought her here in his car"

"Well is he still here? Maybe he's the perp," he suggested.

"No, as soon as the doctors took her into an examination room the guy left. No phone number, name or anything"

"Great" Elliot muttered. "Wonder why Manhattan SVU didn't pick this one up." He commented.

"Apparently they're so backed up that they aren't taking any more new cases for a while" Olivia answered as they opened the door to the hospital room and went in.

Upon entering Olivia and Elliot saw a petit brunette with bruises along her jaw line, and a dark purple bruise under her right eye sitting on a gurney. She raised her head to see who entered the room and that was when the bruises in the shape of a hand, on her neck, became visible. Her wrists also had bruise around them as if someone had held her arms down and there were rips in her jeans from the pavement it seemed.

"Hello, I'm Detective Benson, this is Detective Stabler. We're just going to ask you a few questions okay?" Olivia asked bringing a chair over to the gurney so that she sat at eye level with the young woman.

"Why? I already told the doctors everything I remember" was the quiet protest. The girl eyed Elliot carefully, yet thoughtfully. Olivia just thought the girl was just being wary of her male partner.

"We just need to hear it from you personally, so that nothing is misunderstood. Okay?"

"Fine." She responded. The girl answered shortly and to the point when asked the basic questions of where she was attacked and taken, who did it, and any other things she may have remembered.

"So what's your name?" Olivia tried. She had avoided this question at first to get the girl comfortable with talking to her.

"Can I go to the bathroom before we continue? The doctors wanted to finish checking me before they let me go, and that was like over an hour ago" the girl asked uncomfortably, her light green eyes darting between the two detectives as she dodged the question.

"Sure" Olivia smiled and she stood up letting the girl walk to the door.

"Umm, do you know where the washroom is?"

"Just down the hall on the right." Elliot answered. The girl nodded and left the room with her arms wrapped protectively around her self.

Fifteen minutes later, Benson and Stabler were still waiting in the room for the centre of their newest case to return.

"I'm going to go see if she's okay," Olivia said. She went out into the hallway and weaved her way through the busy hallway to the women's washroom. Going in she was surprised to find all of the stalls empty. She hurried out into the hall and stopped the doctor she had talked to earlier about the girl.

"Hey have you seen the rape victim my partner and I were talking to?" she asked frowning.

"She left already, said you guys told her she could go home now," he said confusedly.

"She said she was going to the bathroom" Olivia sighed as she turned and bumped into Elliot who had been listening.

"Guess we'll have to ask around about her tomorrow" Elliot said. Olivia nodded,

"Yeah, from what she told us I think the university rapist is back on the scene"

"We should find a hotel, maybe get some rest before its back to work"

"Hey, you could visit Maureen while we're here" Olivia suggested, earning a smile from Elliot.

"Yeah, I'll call her in the morning and see if she wants to have lunch or something"

The next morning after having gotten the last two rooms at a small, fairly decent motel, Elliot and Olivia went to a diner for breakfast. As they finished up, Elliot called Maureen and after three rings she picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's dad"

"Hey, what's up?"

"I'm in town and wanted to see if you wanna have lunch with your old man today"

"Sure, how about you come to my residence so I can show you around a bit and we can go eat somewhere?" The waitress came to the table with the bill. Olivia said thank you, and gave her the money due.

"Olivia's there too?" Maureen asked over the phone.

"Yeah, we're here in a case" Elliot answered honestly.

"Bring her along, I haven't seen her in ages" Maureen told him.

"Sure thing kiddo"

"Ok see you then, bye," the teen said.

"Bye" Elliot hung up. He looked at Olivia who was looking out the window.

"Want to come to lunch with us?"

"Sure, thanks"

Later that morning after tirelessly asking around about their AWOL rape victim, Elliot and Olivia arrived at the residence that Maureen was living in. They walked up two flights of stairs to the floor Maureen said she lived on. The teen was excited about finally introducing her dad to her roommate. Finding room 246 they knocked. The door opened revealing Maureen wearing dark jeans and a red t-shirt, her long blond hair pulled into a ponytail.

"Hey!" she exclaimed hugging her dad and smiling at Olivia. "Come in let me show you my room!" She led them into the fairly large room that had two single beds, two desks, dressers, and one huge closet. There was a window that took up almost a whole wall letting in the sunlight.

"This is it, not much but it's cool. My roommate Gracie should be here in like two minutes, so you guys can meet her. She's really nice, a little quiet sometimes but she's great," Maureen explained pushing a strand of hair from her face. The three of them turned at the sound of the door handle turning. The door opened to reveal a girl wearing a black turtleneck sweater and faded blue jeans. Elliot and Olivia immediately recognized the telltale bruises from earlier that morning. The girl stood there in the doorway with a deer in the headlights expression plastered on her face. She went to step back into the hall, but Maureen was too fast for her and grabbed her arm lightly, not aware of the bruises she was touching, and pulled her friend into the room shutting the door.

"Dad, this is my roommate Gracie Walker. Gracie this is my dad, and his partner Olivia"

"Hi Gracie" Elliot said eyeing the girl carefully; she looked ready to bolt from the room.

"Hi, uh, I really gotta go Maureen, I'll see ya later" she said quickly. As she grabbed two books from her bed and rushed out the door. Elliot and Olivia looked to Maureen who was looking at the door frowning.

"Sorry bout that, she's acting weird today"

"How'd she get the bruises on her face?" Olivia asked curiously, aware of the look Elliot was sending her to not get Maureen involved in the case.

"I dunno, she came in at like four this morning and just went to bed. Then just before you called I asked her what happened and she said she got in a fight at a party."

"A party on a Tuesday night?" Elliot asked skeptically.

"Dad this is college, there are parties all the time. There are probably even some right now. Anyways, do you guys want to go now? I know this great little restaurant that has food form like six different countries"

"Sure" was the simultaneous reply. They walked outside and went towards Elliot's car. Olivia slowed a bit to put some distance between her and the other two while she made a phone call to Cragen.

"Captain? We need Munch and Finn down here, we found the victim again, but she's Elliot's daughter's roommate. I think the more of us the better for this case. I have a hunch that the University Rapist is back, and there's going to be more rapes very, very soon"
