"Guys, new case," Cragen said as he entered the office, "where's Munch and Liv?"
"Liv got a call, juries in on her last case." Elliot replied.
"So she'll be back soon?"
"Yeah."
"Fine, Munch?"
"Car trouble." answered Fin
"Here's the file, bring them up on it when they get in."
"Sure Capt." Fin said all ready opening the file.
Cragen entered his office as Elliot slid over next to Fin.
"Rape victim, Markisha Williams, killed herself," Elliot started, "One daughter, Julia Williams, result of rape; she blames herself for the death."
"Hey guys," Olivia smiled as she entered the office, "Perp was convicted."
"My car is a hideous pile of decomposing rat waste!"
"Good morning to you to Munch." said Fin.
"New case?" asked Munch while glaring at Fin.
"Yeah, Fin and I got it though." answered Elliot.
"This is a promising day, first my car, now you guys are hiding something…" started Munch.
"Where not hiding anything, just thought to give you a break we'd take it." interrupted Fin.
"What is it?!" demanded Liv.
"You're not going to like…" started Elliot
"What is it." said Munch starting to get annoyed too.
"A rape victim killed herself and her daughter blames herself because she was a result of the rape. She says her mother started drinking right after she was born."
"Thanks for trying to hide it guys, but I'm ok." said Liv completely calmed down since she realized why her partner had tried to hide the case from her.
"You sure?" asked Fin.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Liv said, "Give me a minute." Liv walked out the door heading down the stairs and outside. She sat down, only then did she realize tears were streaming down her face.
"Liv, are you ok?" asked Munch trying to hide the fact he was upset to.
