The End of the innocence

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters you recognize sadly they belong to Dick Wolf. I am just playing with them for a bit.

Olivia Benson sat at her desk her head in her hands. Life has a way of kicking you when you're down. She thought to herself. This case was killing her a string of rapes at Hudson university they hadn't gotten any were with the case it was very frustrating Mostly because it had been two weeks since she had any time to sleep anywhere but the cribs. To top it off her partner and best friend Elliot Stabler had been in rare form the past two weeks

The last time he was like this was when he and his wife Kathy were filing for divorce. That was a difficult time for both her partner and her. She had begun to feel something very different form the friendship they had always shared. She didn't have a very good track record with men. She herself told Elliot that he was the longest and most stable relationship she had ever had with a man. She had been engaged once back in college it hadn't worked out. She blamed it on the fact that she hadn't had the greatest childhood or past relationships.

She was the product of the worst thing that ever happened to her mother her rape. Her mother had never let her forget that. It was worse when she was drinking, which she was drinking most of the time, trying in vain to dull the pain of seeing her rapist every time she looked into her daughters face. Olivia didn't blame her mother anymore. After all her she was the reason Olivia had joined the all volunteer special victims unit.

After her mother had fallen to her death on the subway steps two years ago they were the only family she had left. Don Cragen was the only father figure she had ever had. Fin and Munch were her brothers. She knew she was in love with Elliot and nothing would ever change that she also knew it could never happen. Elliot and Kathy were now expecting baby number five. She would never be a home wrecker no mater how much her heart broke every time she looked into his crystal blue eyes.

"Liv?" Elliot's voice called to her jarring her out of her thoughts.

"Yeah El, What is it?" She smiled in spite of herself at the sound of his nickname for her.

"Munch just called we got anther vic. She's at Saint Vincent's." He said looking grim
"Did we get a good description this time Elliot?"

"She is in a coma Liv. They don't think she'll make it."
