Disclaimer: I do not own any of the SVU characters(unfortunately)
Author's Notes: This SVU fanfic is going to be a little different from all the other ones I've written. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone, and I think that I'm doing well so far. First, the legal information about charging someone with rape/assault may be a bit iffy(even though I did do a lot of research. It took almost over an hour until I found what I was looking for). But I think otherwise, you will definitely like this fanfic.
This has nothing to do with this fanfic, but look out for a Christmas SVU one shot piece on December 's a missing piece from my piece,Sweet Revenge(and someone commented, saying that they don't approve of the Kim bashing. Just a reminder, I wrote that when Kim pretty much bashed Casey on "Confessions". I'm actually warming up to Kim since then, even though Casey is still my favorite :( ).
Also, if there's arguments between Kim and the rest of the team, it's only because of this one pelicular case. You'll see why eventually.
And one more thing, the first chapter is a cliffhanger. Ahaha, you must hate me now. :)
But read and enjoy anyway! :)

It was a normal night at the Precinct. Olivia and Elliot were sitting at their desks, talking amongst themselves. The cases they worked on were currently with Greyleck, who was prosecuting them within several days. So they decided to order Chinese food, like they usual do.
"You know, I haven't had Chinese food in awhile" Elliot said as he took a forkful of his Chinese noodles "I can't even remember the last time we ate take out."
"Well someone has short term memory. I think the last time we ate take out was in early December" Olivia said.
"Wow, we haven't eaten Chinese food in almost 5 months?"
"We've been so busy since then with cases."
"I know, I know."
The both of them continued eating their food until Fin approached them.
"Hey Fin" Olivia said as Fin stood in front of them.
"Want some noodles?" Elliot asked.
"I'm good. You might want to stop eating that though, because we just have a new case."
"We have another case already?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, The hospital called and said that a woman was beaten and raped near her apartment in the Upper West Side of Manhattan" Fin explained "The captain recommended that you go to the crime scene first."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go."
"We didn't find any evidence. When we got here, it was too late to collect anything."
Olivia and Elliot were standing outside the corner of an alley in the Upper West Side. For an April night, it was quite chilly. Olivia wrapped her coat closer to her body as she continued to ask the woman who was in charge of the scene.
"Did the victim say anything?"
"The only thing the woman said was that someone beat and raped her. She didn't say anything else."
"Okay, thank you."
The woman walked away and Olivia looked at Elliot.
"I guess we'll have to go to hospital and asked what happened."
"Do we even have a name to our victim?"
"Not that I know of" Olivia replied as they walked to their police car "Isn't that odd?"
"Maybe the victim didn't want to reveal her identity. Let's go; maybe the hospital nearby knows our victim."
They walked through the hospital lobby and walked up to the desk.
"Can I help you?" the woman at the main desk asked.
"Yes, I'm detective Stabler and this is detective Benson" Elliot said "We were wondering if you admitted a woman who was beaten and raped about an hour ago."
"It happened at the Upper West Side of Manhattan."
"Oh, that poor woman" the lady sighed hopelessly "She was an emotional wreck, how can I not forget her? She's currently being examined; do you want me to call the doctor in charge of her case?"
"That would be appreciated, yes."
"If you can just sit over there while I call..."
"That's not a problem. Thank you" Olivia said as both of them left the front of the desk.
They sat down in the waiting area a few feet away from the desk.
"Wait a minute, why does upper west side sound familiar?" Olivia asked Elliot. He shrugged his shoulders before answering.
"We worked a lot of cases there over the past ten years."
"That's not it though. I feel like I know someone who lives there..."
A few seconds later, the woman from the main desk walked over to them.
"The doctor said that you can enter the examining room. It's all the way down the hall and to your right. The victim actually refused to see you, but the doctor insisted."
"Did she say why?" Elliot asked.
"She didn't say."
"Thank you for your help"
Olivia and Elliot got up from their chairs and left the lobby. They walked down the hall to find a doctor standing near the door they were about to enter.
"Are you detectives Benson and Stabler?" the doctor asked as she looked up from her charts.
"Yes, we are. How is she?" Olivia asked.
"She's really shaken up, especially with the fact that you're here" the doctor explained
"Unfortunately, there are no fluids. If we're lucky, the rapist might have left a hair."
"Do we know our victim?" Elliot asked.
"She knows you. You must know her."
Suddenly, the doctor's pager went off.
"I need to go. If you need anything else, just let one of the nurse's know and they'll assist you."
"Okay, thank you."
The doctor rushed out of their sight. Elliot could tell that Olivia was worried.
"How does our victim know us?" Olivia asked
"Can we go in and find out? You can't worry about anything until we know who it is."
"Fine"
Elliot opened the door and when they saw who their victim was, they froze at the doorway.
