A/N I know not a very good summary but please keep reading as I have major plans for this story.
Chapter One
Olivia Benson opened the car door and stepped outside into the cold morning air. She tightened her coat around her and hurried inside.
It was one of those cold mornings where people like to stay in bed, but not Olivia. This morning she had decided to get to the office earlier and catch up on some work.
She stepped off the elevator on her floor, and headed for the squad room. Before she reached it, Olivia heard papers rustling. She hadn't expected anyone to be there yet, as it was only seven o'clock, but when she walked in the room she saw her partner Elliot Stabler sitting at his desk.
"Morning", Olivia said as she sat down on her chair. "hmm", grumbled Elliot as he turned the page.
"You're here early", Olivia stated trying to sound happy. "Yer I am", Elliot replied sighing.
Olivia was about to open her mouth to ask something else when Elliot stood up and said cheerfully "I think I could go for some coffee, how bout you Liv?"
"Yer ok" Liv replied warily.
Elliot grabbed his coat and headed out the door. Olivia ran after him and said "hey El, is everything ok, cause you know you can always talk to me." Elliot turned around and smiled "Sure everything's fine Liv." Then he stepped onto the Elevator.
Olivia turned around and headed back to the room worrying about Elliot. The last few days he hadn't been himself. 'Well, hopefully he's ok', Olivia thought trying to convince herself, but she knew something was wrong.
Liv sat back down at her desk and began to work.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a long and busy morning, so by the time midday came around Liv and Elliot's stomaches were both growling. Then El's stomach let out one big, long growl. Both he and Liv began to laugh.
Olivia stood up and said "I think its time to get lunch, what do you think?" El stood up in agreement. Both of them grabbed their coats, guns and badges and headed out the doors to the lifts.
Just as they reached the lifts the doors opened and Captain Craigen walked out. "Where are you two going?"
"We're off to go grab some lunch Captain", El replied.
"Well lunch is going to have to wait", the captain said seriously. "I just got a call from a school, saying that they think one of their students has been abused by someone, and I would like you two there right away."
"Sure thing Captain" El and Liv both replied as they entered the lifts this time for a different reason.
It was time to get down to business.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi I'm Mr Mike Davids the principal of the school."
"Hi Mr Davids, I'm Detective Stabler and this is my partner Detective Benson. Now you called the station saying you think one of your students is being abused?"
"Yes, the student is a twelve year old girl who is in grade six."
"Ok well can you tell us what happened?" asked Olivia
"Well you'll have to talk to Ms Willow Blake, her teacher, who told me about it," replied the principal.
"Sure" Elliot said turning to Olivia "You go talk to the girl and I'll talk to the teacher."
"Okay Elliot", said Liv.
The principal showed Olivia the room the student was in and then took Elliot to the teacher.
Olivia walked into the room. The room was quiet. In the room there was a desk with a chair behind and two chair with there backs to her. Olivia walked over to the chairs with there backs to her. On one of the chairs she saw the girl.
The girl looked up at her. She had hazel eyes and light brownish hair that was tied up, messily in a pony tail. She was wearing a school uniform, which was a jumper and pants. From where Liv was standing the pants looked funny like they were ripped or something.
The girl didn't look twelve, she look like maybe ten, or even just turned eleven. Her face had tear streaks on them and she was very pale.
Olivia sat down on the chair next to her. "Hi there, my names Olivia, I'm a police officer," Olivia said quietly showing the girl her badge. "Can you tell me what you name is?" The girl looked at the badge then back at Olivia. Her face looked confused, like she was trying to decide whether she trust her or not. Then eventually she said "My… my name is Isabell."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi Ms Blake, I'm Detective Stabler. I was just hopng you could tell me what happened today."
"You mean with Isabell? Sure I can", the teacher replied.
"Well this morning the students went to the gym. They were playing a game when Isabell fell and ripped her pants. When I went over to her to see if she were ok, I saw her leg and it had bruises on it. It didn't look like from the fall she had just had, plus they didn't look like normal child bruises. Then as I got closer I saw a huge gash in her leg and I don't think that happened when she fell either because there was nothing there to give her such a bad gash. Plus it was red, slightly bleeding and looked infected. It did have a bandage on it, but I think it came off when she fell."
"I knelt down next to her. I wanted to move the pants out of the way so I could see if the sore was really infected. But the second I moved her pants slightly she started screaming. At first I thought it was because she was really in pain, but then she then she yelled 'please don't hurt me'. She kept saying it over and over, so I took her to the principal's office to calm down. Then we called you guys."
Elliot nodded and began asking more questions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a knock at the door and Elliot opened it and popped his head in the room.
Olivia looked at Isabell and said "I'll be right back." She walked outside with Elliot. "So what did you get from the teacher?" Olivia asked.
Elliot explained what the teacher said to him then asked "did Isabell say anything?" "No the only thing she said to me was her name. Anything I asked after that she wouldn't say anything." Olivia said disappointedly.
"You know," the principal started "maybe she will talk if her sister was here. A couple weeks ago, Isabell was crying and she wouldn't say anything to anyone. But when the sister came, Isabell stopped crying and told her sister what was wrong. Apparently she was feeling sick."
"Why didn't one of the parents come?" Elliot asked. "We have only seen the parents a couple of times, it's mostly the sister picking her up and coming to school functions and things," the principal said.
"Ok well call in the sister, maybe she can help," said Olivia
"Does she have any other siblings," asked Elliot.
"She just has her older sister who is fifteen I think and her little sister who is eight. Her name is Claire." Before El and Liv could ask, the principal said "And if I'm correct, she hasn't been at school all week."
Elliot and Olivia both glanced at each other.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The older sister is here," Mr Davids said hurriedly, bursting into the room where Olivia and Elliot were talking to Ms Blake.
Liv had tried to talk to Isabell again but she wouldn't say anything then, when Liv asked about the cut on her leg she yelled out saying she wanted her sister.
Olivia, Elliot, Ms Blake and Mr Davids all walked into the room, only to see no one. Isabell and her sister were not in the room.
The principal ran out the room only to return a minute later to say they had left.
"Well we are going to have to go to the house" El said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olivia and Eliot jumped in the car and were on the way to the Callans house which they had a little trouble getting the address from the school, but they eventually got it.
There car drove off down the street. They were going to get to the bottom of the silent, disappearing children.
