Law and Order: SVU

Crying Out for Help

Chapter 1

Things were quiet around the SVU squad room. Munch was discussing his latest conspiracies with Fin. Olivia was finishing up some paperwork that she had unfortunately let back up. Eliot had the day off to spend with his family.

As Olivia closed her last folder she sighed in relief.

"Finally! I get to go home and get a proper night's sleep," she thought to herself.

Just she was gathering her things to go home, Captain Cregan burst through his office door.

"Olivia!"

"Yeah Cap?"

"You can't go home just yet. I need you to go investigate a call we just received. A woman called saying she heard a girl's screams coming from her neighbor's apartment and called the police. The police at the scene suspect that something happened that require our….expertise, so I want you to go check it out."

"Ok," she said with as little enthusiasm as possible.

She got into her car and drove towards the address, not knowing how much of an impact this trip will make in her life.
