however i do own the character Joshua.

The sky was dark with clouds, the night quiet, a phone rang and a young man stirred underneath blankets again the phone rang and the tired young man crawled or rather fell out of his bed and grabbed his mobile "St. Claire" he said in a tired voice, but no matter what his voice sounded like you couldn't mistake his Australian accent, he got up and sat back on the edge of his bed, he looked at his clock '4:00 am'"Hey it's me, we need you at a scene""Hey Liv, what everyone else still in bed?"

"Can you stop being stupid and hurry up""Stupid, I resent there, but sure, I'll be there soon" The young man was Joshua St. Claire a 30 year old young man, he'd been in the SVU squad for roughly 5 years, he fumbled around his room and got a pair of jeans and put them on, grabbed a shirt and threw on the first pair of shoes he could find. He quickly brushed his shaggy black and purple slowly tried to sneak down the stares trying not to wake anyone up, "Dad?" came a quiet voice from the kitchen"Hey Rebecca what's wrong honey?" he asked walking over to her"Nothing" She said in a tired voice "Where are you going?"Josh didn't answer he didn't want her to know

"Another case huh, don't worry I'll tell everyone when hey get up"Josh smiled "thanks" he walked up and kissed her head "I'll see you later"* * *

A street that on any other day at this time would have been empty, but tonight there were cop cars around, Josh drove up and saw Olivia waiting for him, he wound down his window"Bout time you got your butt out of bed""Nice to see you too Liv"

He got out of the car and walked up to the front door, a nice little house a nice normal family probably lived here, or at least used to live here, seeing all these cops around, it seemed like any thing but and Josh walked through, the house looked like a hurricane had been through it, broken TV, tables turned upside down, windows broken and trash everywhere."We got one body, looks like a robbery Said one of the officers on the scene

Josh looked at the officer then Olivia, Olivia looked back"um, why are we here, if all this is, is a robbery?""Woman's panties are missing and neighbors' said they heard screaming coming from the house"The officer led Josh and Olivia through the house into a bedroom and there they found the body of a Josh were a rookie he probably would have thrown up, the scene was a blood bath, these sites still turned his stomach, but he had learnt to control the urge

Grabbing a pair of gloves he started to check the body and the room, Olivia did the same. "So we've got one woman, beaten and raped" Josh said looking over the body, her face not even recognizable he looked down beside the body and found a baseball bat, covered in blood "I think we found our weapon" he paused "or at least, one of them" he added noticing a broken piece of bottle on the floor. He looked at Olivia who was looking over the scene and saw a photo"Do we know who she is?""Not yet, but look at this" Olivia said grabbing a photo off the ground "looks like she's go a son""But where is he?"Just then another officer ran in, "we found out who she is", Olivia looked at Josh "Our first break" she walked over to the Officer and walked out to the front of the house, just to look "Neighbors say her name is Marion Peters, a nice young woman who lived alone with her nephew""Her nephew?" asked Liv"Yeah apparently his parents are dead and she took him in, nice huh"Josh stopped and started into space 'Parents dead, taking in her nephew, where have I heard that before' "Josh?" the voice was muffled and he couldn't tell who was talking to him, once again they said him name "Josh?"He shook his head and look around, it was Olivia talking to him"You ok""Yeah….I'm fine"

"Ok well…let's finish our sweep of the scene, you up for it?" she asked already walking back through the front door, Josh didn't answer, and he just followed.

Hope you enjoyed. R&R :D
