Law And Order: SVU/Criminal Minds
I don't own Law and Order:SVU or Criminal Minds. Might not be suitable for younger children. Some violence and swaering.
Chapter 1
A young woman's running down a New York City sidewalk, glancing back every now and then. She's clearly been beaten and her clothes have been ripped. She has one shoe on and the other's missing. She apparently has been crying and has the occasional bloody area on her body. People see her and do nothing to help her. Until she runs into Detective Olivia Benson. Detective Benson's carrying a bag of groceries. When they bump into each other, Olivia drops her bag and then looks up to see who ran into her and why.
"Hey, what's the problem?" Olivia looks concerned.
"Sorry!" The young woman says, still running.
"Hey, wait!" Olivia runs after her. "Wait!"
"I can't! Sorry!" The young woman runs faster. Olivia has a hard time trying to catch her, but she does.
"I said stop!" Olivia says out of breath. She grabs the young woman's arm.
"NO! He's going to kill me! I've gotta keep going! He WILL kill me!" The young woman says with fear written all over her face and deep in her eyes.
"Who's after you?"
"I can't…"
"Tell me, I'm a detective. I can help. I can keep him from hurting you again. Come with me. Let's start by getting you out of sight. My apartment's back where my groceries are dumped. Come on. It's ok. I'm Detective Benson. You can trust me, ok? See, here's my badge." Olivia says, trying to usher the young woman in the direction of her apartment. "You let me know if you see him. I'll protect you, I promise."
"My name's Christine, but you can call me Chris. Rick kidnapped me from my home. I don't know where I'm at. I was able to find a small whole in the wall that he locked me in. I dug my way out and ran. I just kept running. I saw him coming back. He saw me and started after me. I haven't seen him for a few blocks, but I just know he's going to find me. Please, don't let him find me. He's crazy and he'll hurt you too.
"No, he won't hurt either of us. Don't you worry," They come up to Olivia's building. Olivia quickly picks up her few groceries and then ushers Chris into her secured apartment building. "Can you climb the stairs? It's three flights up."
"I think so. Although, I don't have my inhaler. I kept telling myself that I'd rather die free and on the street than at his hand and never be seen again. I seriously believe he'd kill me before letting me go. My mother's probably worried sick. She has a heart problem."
Olivia stops at apartment number 3G. She unlocks her door and motions for Chris to enter first. Chris slowly enters as Olivia follows, but Olivia makes a left turn after about five steps. She shuts the door and then heads to the kitchen to put the groceries down on the counter. Chris looks around the living room and sits on the sofa. She looks at the few pictures on the wall. Chris has never seen such an impersonal living room. Sure, it's a beautiful living room.
Just a few minutes after sitting, Chris feels faint and can't breath very well. Olivia gets some cold waters from the fridge and comes out to the living room. As she walks in, she doesn't notice That Chris' out cold.
"Chris, is water ok to drink?" When she didn't receive a response, Olivia looks up and sees Chris unconscious on the sofa. She drops the bottles of water and grabs the phone on her way to check on Chris.
She dials 911. "This is Detective Benson, I need a bus at 2976 56th street, apartment 3G. I have a vic with asthma, lacerations and a erratic pulse. Please hurry!" Olivia drops the phone and moves Chris to the floor to get her ready for the medics and to do CPR.
About ten minutes after the 911 call's placed, Olivia buzzes up the medics. Then she opens the door to let the medics know which apartment. Then she returns to Chris.
"Chris hon, the paramedics are here! Stay with me sweetheart! Come on, hold on! We need you to stay alive so we can make that bastard pay for what he did to you!" The medics come in and Olivia backs off.
"My god, what happened to this girl?" One medic asks.
"She ran into me on the street. She has asthma. She was held against her will. She dug her way out of a room. That's all I got out of her. I went to bring her some water, but she was out cold. She has an erratic pulse. I have no idea if she has any drugs in her system. Same as allergies. I'd like a rape kit done just to be sure. She looks pretty bad. Her first name's Christine. Last name's unknown. I want to ride along." Olivia says as she takes her cell phone out of her jacket pocket.
"El, I need you at, hey guys, what hospital?"
"St. Mary's."
"Meet me at St. Mary's hospital. We've got a young lady, sixteen to twenty-one years of age. She's been abducted. She was held against her will. She's in pretty bad shape. El, she had to dig her way out of the room she was being held in. This poor girl has rips in her cloths and cuts all over. She has only one shoe. This girl's got asthma and she was running and wouldn't stop. This bastard did a number on her." Olivia tells Elliott Stabler, her partner, as they load her into the ambulance and head to the closest hospital which's St. Mary's.
"Liv, how did you get involved?" Elliott asks.
"I was carrying my groceries home when she runs into me and my bag falls and the contents go everywhere. I made her stop because the way she looked. I can't believe no one stopped her and tried to help. She did tell me the perps first name's Rick. So have Munch and Fin look up a Christine, gone missing. Rick's probably a nick name. Try Richard."
"Liv, I know how to do the job. I'll meet you at St. Mary's." Elliott hangs up.
Olivia takes this case a little to close to heart. Because, think about it, this could happen to ANY one.
Once they reach the hospital and get Chris into an exam room, Olivia waits outside the room for Elliott. That's until she hears a scream come from Chris' room. The doctor steps out.
"Detective Benson, please come in and try to calm her down so I can do this exam!" Olivia goes into the room.
"Hey Chris, honey you have to calm down. Now, we've got to exam you so we can collect the evidence. We need to get pictures of all the bruises and cuts. We also need to give you a nebulizer treatment. My partner's on his way here to help collect info from you to help catch this bastard. Would you like me to stay while the doctor does the rape kit?"
"I don't know if I can do this." Chris says, trembling.
"We got blood drawn. So I guess we can give you a sedative. It might not totally knock you out, but it will relax you enough where you might fall asleep. Detective Benson will stay right here through the whole exam. She'll keep you safe. I'd never hurt you, but you can think of Detective Benson as extra protection. Does that sound ok to you?"
"I guess. Just don't leave. Ok Olivia?"
"No problem. I'll stay right here until you tell me to go."
"I know I'm an adult, but I sure do wish my mom was here. Does that sound childish?"
"No. It sounds like what any person wants when they're hurt or sick. It's normal to feel that way. If you give me your moms phone number, I'll call her and let her know that you're ok."
"It's 517...5..5..5.. Boy this stuff rocks." Chris says smiling.
"Sorry Detective. We've got to do the exam ASAP or the evidence might not be viable for DNA. Here we go. Ready Christine?"
"Okie dokie doc. Liv, you know I really am scared that Rick will find me. No offense to you or your partner. Rick's crazy. I met him at the hospital that we volunteered at. He used to beat me. He always told me that I was lucky that I was with him. He beat me so bad, then would make me believe that I made him do it. Myself-esteem was so bad that I believe him. That's until he cornered me in a coat closet and took a thick wooden hanger and throttled my back as hard as he could. That was the last straw." There's a knock at the door.
"Honey, can I answer that? It might be my partner. I won't leave the room."
"Sure. Does he want to come in?" Chris asks.
"No sweetie. He just needs a little info." Olivia goes to the door and opens it a crack. "Here's a partial phone number. The doc gave her a sedative. She's freaking about the rape kit.
"Detective, you might want to come here for a moment." The doctor says.
"I'll talk to you soon." Olivia says to Elliott. Then comes and stands next to the doc. "What is it?"
"This young lady's pregnant. She's about three to three and a half weeks along." The doctor says.
