My first SVU story…I don't own any part of Law and Order: SVU…
Just something I started thinking about at work and decided to write down.
Elliot's around 27. So this is early years SVU.
Might be a little confusing at first, but should clear up later
The 1-6
For Captain Donald Cragen, life had been full of sorrow; however he was a master at concealing this. Focusing on his job and his detectives, there was not much time to dwell on what had happened in the past.
Out at their desks sat the only "family" Cragen had left after the death of his wife. The detectives Munch, Tutuola, and Stabler were enjoying a slow day in which the only thing accomplished were a few old case files that had previously been abandoned. Of course, a day could not possibly exist without a new case to work on.
"We've got a rape case to deal with. A young woman, the perp is nowhere to be found. Tutuola, Munch get to the crime scene." Cragen handed Fin a paper with the address of a house on it. "Stabler, you and I are going to Mercy General to talk to the doctor's and hopefully the victim. Let's move."
And with this the SVU was back into action, trying to help a young woman who had the misfortune of getting raped.
On the way to the hospital
"You know Elliot; you have really got to stop scaring off the partners you get. I don't want to have to go along with you every time you need someone." The captain told the detective sitting next to him, thinking of the young woman who had left just two days prior.
"I can't help it that you're only giving me children to work with. You know that none of them were cut out for Special Victims." Said Elliot, petulantly.
"You and I were there once, Elliot. Just remember that." And with Cragen's words came a reflectful silence until arrival at the hospital.
As if on cue, Cragen's cell phone rang right before the pair made it into the hospital, so he told Elliot to go inside and speak to the doctor in charge before answering the phone to talk to Fin.
"What did you find?" Cragen began.
"Not much, Cap. The crime scene isn't giving up much to work with." Was the reply.
"Ok, get what you can, and then head back to the station."
"Gotcha, bye."
Cragen shut his phone and headed inside to find Elliot standing outside of the victim's room, waiting on him.
"We've got a Jane Doe, early twenties, conscious, but she isn't talking. Huang is with her right now. This isn't an ordinary case." The detective explained.
"There's no 'ordinary' rape case."
"Well, I know, but we don't deal with this every day. The doctors say the scars show she's been held captive for at least a couple of years, but probably more. Physically, she's been raped, abused, and starved repeatedly, and a number has been done on her mentally as well. Recovery time is going to take awhile."
"And we know nothing else about her? How are we to find any family?"
"Let's hope Huang has got her to start talking. She's going to need someone."
"Well, I guess we'd better go do our jobs."
The two men walked into the room to find Huang gently talking to an obviously traumatized female. Elliot observed her. The woman had long brunette hair and was extremely pale, as if she hadn't seen sunlight in years. She was also extremely skinny, but she was beautiful despite it all. He made a move to introduce himself, but then noticed the room had gone extremely quiet and the woman and Cragen were staring at each other, mesmerized.
"Olivia?" Cragen dared to ask.
"Daddy." She managed to choke out before breaking into sobs.
A/N Chapter 1 complete.
This will be the first and last time I mention anything about reviews unless it's to thank someone. Yes, it's nice to have suggestions, but I am in no way going to implore that you do so. It is completely annoying when authors do that, so I won't do it to you.
Thank you for reading
