This story takes place after the season fifteen finale. This is my first SVU fic so, please let me know what you think! Please read cautiously! The SVU characters belong to Dick Wolf.
"Something happened to me on the job. It was part of the reason why I had to leave."
"Somebody you worked with?"
"Something not worth pursuing."
"That's how they win."
Benson came in the squad room, and assigned Fin and Rollins to talk to a girl at the hospital. "Fifteen year old girl, claims to have been raped. That's all we know. Fin, Rollins, check it out."
"We're on it Serg." Fin said, and they were off to the hospital.
On their way, Fin and Rollins discussed a strategy to talk to this girl, and they figured it would be better if Rollins talked to her alone. When they got to the hospital, they were led to the room the girl was in, and Rollins entered. "Hey. I'm Detective Amanda Rollins, what's your name sweetheart?"
"Aaryn." The girl said quietly, just above a whisper.
"Can you tell me what happen, Aaryn?"
Aaryn shook her head.
"Well, the nurse told me that you were raped? Is that true?"
She shrugged, "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?" Amanda said softly.
Aaryn looked down as tears fell down her face. "I-I'm pregnant... I thought I was a virgin."
"Okay, do you know when this happen?"
"I don't know. I've been feeling sick recently, and my mom was getting worried so, she brought me here. They told me I was pregnant, but I swear, I've never had sex before."
"Have you ever woke up felling sore for no reason recently? Maybe at the hips, or hurting between your legs."
Aaryn nodded as more tears fell. "I thought I was just a violent sleeper that night. I woke up on the floor. I thought it was from falling."
"When was this? Do you remember?"
"It was my fifteenth birthday." Aaryn sobbed
"Aaryn, I'm so sorry, but I'm gonna catch him. You hang in there." Amanda said before leaving, and joining Fin outside.
"Hey, you get anything?" Fin asked.
"Perp raped her in her sleep, on her fifteenth birthday. She didn't even know it." Rollins said as she shook her head.
"What? Is that my daughter you're talking about?" A voice said from behind.
Fin and Rollins turned around to see a woman in her thirties with long dark hair, the opposite of Aaryn, but the same green eyes. "I'm sorry, you are...?" Rollins asked the woman.
"Jessica Bailey. I'm Aaryn Bailey's mom. You said she was raped in her sleep, on her birthday?"
"Mrs. Bailey, we're so sorry."
"I was home all night. I don't see how this could've happened."
"So, you didn't see or hear anything unusual?" Fin asked.
"No."
They headed back to the station after talking to Jessica a little longer, and retrieved Aaryn's medical records released by her mother, and brought the rest of the squad up to speed on the case.
"Now are you sure this isn't a cover story? She was at a party for her birthday, and lost her virginity to her boyfriend at the age of fifteen. When she found out she was pregnant, she cried rape." Amaro questioned.
They all stood in silence. His theory was more plausible than Aaryn's story. They didn't want to believe she could make such a false allegation, but maybe she did. Benson left the silence, and was on her computer. Her phone rang, and she answered it. "Sergeant Benson."
"Hello, this is Captain Caleb Clark, Atlanta PD. I just got word you found another victim of the serial rapist we've been hunting for the past few years. The one who attacked the victims in their sleep."
"Um, yes. How did you know? I just found out about it myself."
"Word travels fast these days. But anyways, I was thinking of coming up with a couple of my guys, give you a hand."
"Um, sure I don't see why not." She agreed assuming they knew a lot more about the guy they were going after, than she or anyone else in her squad knew.
"Great, we'll catch the next flight out." Clark said before hanging up the phone.
A couple minutes later she walked back in the squad room. "Hey. I just got a call. She was telling the truth."
"What?" Nick asked.
"He's attacked before. In Atlanta."
"Atlanta?" Rollins asked.
"Yeah, do you know anything about it?" Benson asked
"No... I... No. It must've been after I left."
"Caleb Clark offered to come down with a couple guys, and help us out. They're catching the next flight here."
"Caleb Clark, my old captain? Did he say who he was bringing?" Rollins asked.
"No, I didn't ask, just a couple of his guys. I'm sure you'll know them."
"That's what I'm afraid of." Rollins said, and walked out of the station. She didn't want to see anybody from Atlanta. There was a reason she left, and she didn't want to think about seeing everybody again. They would have all kinds of questions for her, which she'd rather leave unanswered.
Something not worth pursuing.
Only a few hours later, Benson sent Fin and Rollins to go pick up the Atlanta Detectives from the airport. They waited for a half an hour before their flight came in, and Caleb Clark, along with two other detectives, Brian Nichols and Luke Sheffield, walked with them to the baggage claim. Amanda knew all three of them, they were her old squad.
"Hey, Rollins. Nice to see you again." Clark said as soon as he saw her.
"Yeah, Clark, you too." Amanda said.
"How you been in New York? Is it everything you thought?"
"That and more." Amanda replied. Fin cleared his throat. "Oh, guys, this is my partner, Fin. Fin, these are the guys, Clark, Brian, and Luke."
"Nice to meet you all." Fin said nicely, and it almost sounded sarcastic to those who knew him.
"Yeah man, likewise." Luke said, and they shook hands.
After they were done with introductions, they headed back to the station to work the case.
Detective Brian Nichols explained the case to everyone at SVU. "Our first victim we knew of, she woke up really sore, she knew something was wrong, and she called us. They did a rape kit at the hospital, and it came back positive for semen, but there were no other signs of sexual assault besides minimal vaginal tearing. He was careful."
"Did you run the DNA?" Benson asked.
"We sent it in, but there's a huge backlog, and we didn't get the results back yet."
"How many years ago was this?" Amaro asked.
"About three, just after Rollins left us." Nichols said as he looked at Rollins. She was sitting on the edge of her desk, and Luke was right next to her. "Hey look at the two of you, just like the old days."
Amanda got angry, "this is not like the old days, I'm a lot different than I was down in Georgia."
"Nah. Y'all should've seen 'em back in Georgia." Brian said to the squad. "They were all over each other, we couldn't keep 'em apart. It's rumored that's why she was sent to New York."
"Shut up." Rollins was irritated, none of it was true. They kept talking, and Rollins got angry, she feared they would tell the reason she left, but twist it so, she was the bad one. "Hey! I told you guys to shut up!"
Fin noticed his partner becoming irate, and he stepped in. "Hey knock it off boys. We don't care about what happen in Georgia, we only care about this case now. So whaddya got?"
They were distracted by Fin, and got back to the case. Rollins was so grateful for her new partner, Fin always protected her when she needed it. When they were done explaining every detail they had about the four other victims, all from Atlanta, the shift was over, and the Atlanta cops left the station. They were never the kind to pull a lot of overtime, and they were getting overtime for every day they spent in New York so, they weren't in much of a hurry to close the case. "Hey, Amanda, you coming?" Brian asked as he was heading out the door.
"I don't know."
"It'll be fun, come on. Get your coat."
Amanda grabbed her coat, and left the station with the guys. It was just like old times, they were back together again, but something wasn't the same. Rollins was different now, but when she went out with the guys, it was like nothing had ever changed.
They pulled up to the bar, and all four of them took a seat across the bar, they ordered multiple rounds of shots, and they all got hammered... just like old times. They stayed there for hours, laughing to stuff that wasn't even funny, and finally, they left, and Luke claimed that he was fine to drive, but they all objected, and forced him in the cab, and they all piled in... just like old times.
They arrived at the hotel, and Amanda walked them up to their rooms, she thought they were drunker than she was, and apologized for their actions the entire way up to their rooms. She didn't realize how obnoxious she was being as well. Luke and Brian went to their rooms, and then she said goodbye to Clark. "No, you can't leave, you'll never get home."
"Thank you, but I'm fine. I can get to where I'm going." Amanda said stumbling over her words.
"No, just stay here." Clark said, and pulled her into his apartment. "I'll take care of you, don't worry." He said then, he closed the door, and poured each of them a glass of wine. They each took a glass, and they raised them. "To the good ole days."
"To the good ole days." She repeated, and they clinked their glasses together, and wine spilled over the edges. They drank the wine, and talked not making much sense, they were both incredibly wasted. Clark kissed her, and Amanda kissed back... just like old times. She never could resist his kiss, she never liked the guy, he was almost twice her age, but there was something about his kisses that felt nice, soft. They made their way to the bed kissing, then Clark started at her shirt. "No. Clark, I don't want to." She tried pushing him away. He didn't listen. "Caleb, stop." She tried using a less formal name. He kept going. "Please, don't do this." But he did do it... just like old times.
Something not worth pursuing.
