Olivia Benson's Apartment

May 9th, 2012 8:37 PM

It has been way too long since I've gotten laid. Since David. Is it wrong for me to want him to quit his job so we can be together? I've always been a romantic at heart, and I thought I finally found my Prince Charming. I even doodled my name with his last name. Olivia Nicole Haden. I daydreamed about adopting children with him, about our wedding day. I still do. After we broke up, I went home and cried myself to sleep. It felt like Elliot leaving me all over again. I've signed up for more OT in the last three months than I had in a year. Nothing to do anymore. If I'm not working, then I'm sitting at home drowning my sorrows in a bottle of tequila or watching re-runs of cop shows. As if I don't get enough of it at work.

I'm on call tonight, so no tequila for me. I'll have to settle for the cop shows. Scrolling through the channels, the best I see is NCIS. I settle into the life of Gibbs and the team, until my phone rings.

"Benson."

"Hey Liv, we have an unidentified 10 year old vic at Mercy. I sent Amaro to the crime scene, you need to go to the hospital and sit with her through the rape kit."

"Be there in 20." I slap my phone shut, then grab my gun and badge. Tossing my hair into a bun, I snatch my keys. I get down to the street and flash my badge to get a cab.

Mercy General Hospital

"10 year old rape victim." I snap with my badge held out to the desk clerk. She pulls her head out of the file she's reading and looks at my badge.

"Room 421."

I walk to the other side of the hospital and poke my head in the door that says 421. The girl has medium brown hair and blue eyes with so much pain in them that all you want to do is give her a hug.

"Hello sweetie, my name is Olivia and I'm a detective. What's your name?" I keep walking closer to her wringing my hands until I get to the chair. I sit down and look at her with a smile.

"I'm Emily."

"Well Emily, do you know who hurt you?"

"He was wearing a mask. He had a mean voice though."

"How was it mean sweetie?"

"Where's my mom?" She dodged my question, so I know that was enough for right now. I'll follow her lead for now.

"I was hoping you would help me find her. What's your mom's name?"

"Alexandra Friesen. She works for the school where I go."

"What about your dad? What's his name?"

"I... I don't know." She gets a funny look on her face, and I think there's something with the dad that could help us with the case. I pull out my phone and shoot a quick text to let him know I got an ID on our vic. There's a knock on the door, and a doctor walks in wheeling a cart.

"Okay Emily, right now the doctor's gonna take pictures of you so that we can catch the man who hurt you."

"Okay." The doctor takes pictures and then nods at me.

"Now she's going to turn off the lights and run a light on you to see if the man left anything behind." Emily nods and the doctors does just what I said. The light points out an area on her thighs where there's semen. She gets a Q-Tip and swabs the area. I put gloves on and then take the Q-Tip, creating the chain of evidence. I put it in the sterile tube and put that in a pre-labeled bag. The doctor turns the lights back on. Here comes the hard part.

"Sweetie, here comes the hard part. Can you be really brave for me?" I grab her hand and look her in the eyes.

"Yes." Her voice wavers, but I know that she can do it.

"The doctor is going to put something down there, and it's going to be really cold and uncomfortable. Do you want me to stay here with you?"

"Please don't leave Olivia."

"I won't sweetie."
