Authors Note: I am a big fan of both "Law and Order: SVU" and "Third Watch". So, this is a mix of both with a little original character thrown in. Enjoy! And please review!
Disclaimer: Neither SVU nor Third Watch are mine. Only wishful thinking there. Any perp/victim/unknown set of uni's is mine. As is my original detective, Detective Anna Cipriani.
"This has gotta be a joke," Officer Maurice "Bosco" Boscorelli groaned. "Bosco, stop complaining would you?" his partner, Faith Yokas, replied. The pair had gotten called to a seemingly abandoned alleyway, and were now forced to search the area. "5-5 David to Central, can you get us a callback number on the complaintant?" Bosco said into his radio. "Complaintant does not wish to be notified," the radio crackled after a moment. "You know, Faith. If it bothers you enough, you could at least have the balls to say it was you," Bosco grumbled, readjusting his radio on his jacket. "It's freezing out..." "Bosco, come here," Faith interrupted, her voice shaking slightly. "What is it?" Bosco asked, heading over. "Damnit," he sighed, shaking his head at the sight of the nude, dead body. "5-5 David to Central. We've got a DOA at this location. Looks like we're gonna need Special Victims, too," he said into his radio.
"Detectives Benson and Cipriani - Special Victims," Olivia Benson flashed her badge and the pair of uniformed officers let Olivia and her temporary partner through. "How're you, Detective?" Faith asked, seeing Olivia walk over. She'd had a few interactions with Olivia, as well as the Special Victims Unit, on different occasions. "Good. How about you?" Olivia asked, pulling on a pair of gloves. "Not bad," Faith replied with a shrug. "Who's this?" she asked, nodding towards the young brunette pulling on a pair of gloves. "Anna Cipriani. New detective down at the 1-6. Got partnered together while Elliot works a cold case with Munch," Olivia answered. "She's young," Faith observed. "Yea, but she's good at this. And really smart," Olivia shrugged. Her eyes wandered for a moment, finally landing on Bosco, who stood trying to look as though he wasn't eyeing Anna, when it was clear he was. "He doesn't seem to have a problem with it," Olivia laughed, nodding in the direction of the short uniformed officer. Faith looked over and laughed slightly, shaking her head. "He doesn't have a problem with anything with a vagina," she replied. "Hey Anna, you canvas the area. See if anyone saw anything," Olivia instructed. "Alright," Anna replied, heading over to the group on the sidewalk. "What d'ya have for me, Melinda?" Olivia asked. "Stacy Waters, according to her drivers license. 19 years old," the ME shook her head. "Bruising on the inner thigh. Dead about 12 hours. Cause of death looks to be strangulation," she explained, gesturing to the bruising on the victims' neck. "No fluids - perp probably used a condom."
"Ma'am... ma'am. No, we're not going to deport... ma'am," Anna shook her head, trying to get information from a young Mexican woman. The young brunette had been trying for several minutes to get information from anyone who may have seen anything, but was not having much luck. Everyone in the crowd seemed to be worried about being deported. "Well, if you have any information, please give me a call," she sighed, handing her business card to the woman. Her normally bright blue eyes had begun to look tired and worn down after dealing with all those people, and frustration was setting in. Shoving her hands in the pockets of her black dress pants, she walked away from the crowd, needing a break. "Find anything?" she asked, heading back over to Olivia and Melinda. "Nothing help... wait," Melinda said, leaning over. She picked up what looked to be a used condom. "Maybe," she said, her spirits lifting once more.
