Blood Relations
Summary: With the help of their most recent rape victim, Olivia finds out more about her biological father. Crossover with ER.
Author's Note: Just a random thought I had. Let me know what you think. Takes place during seventh season SVU pre-"Fault".
Dr. Gregory Peterson hated ride-alongs. However, he knew it was part of his residency to complete them. This particular one was to a woman left outside in an alley. As far as he knew, she had no identification on her. As the ambulance pulled up to the area, he realized that this was not just some homeless woman looking for a free place to stay.
Dried blood was plainly visible near the woman's hairline on the right side of her face. She was lying on her left. As he moved closer, he frowned. This woman looked…familiar somehow. He tried to shrug it off as he assessed the rest of her condition. Her underwear was tied around both her wrists. Apart from being unconscious though, the rest of her looked ok. Her injuries were non-life-threatening.
"Has Special Victims been called?" he asked the nurse as he bent down next to the woman. He then looked at the woman again. Her light brown hair was behind her body and away from her face. It was still dry except for the little part of it near the wound. He did know this woman. "Wait," he said slowly. "Special Victims," he muttered.
"I don't know if they've been called," the nurse, Danielle, admitted with a sigh.
"That's not what I meant," Gregory started. "This woman," he started. "Isn't she one of there's?"
Monday morning. The smell of fresh but awful office coffee started to fill the station house. Detectives Munch and Fin entered the squad room, laughing about something that Munch had just said. Cragen was in the office, presumably on the phone with somebody. It was how almost every week began. None of the detectives would expect that it was out of the ordinary.
Elliot strolled into the station at a little past nine. He was going to get some donuts for everyone before he came in, but he had gotten called, so he figured it was best that he got there as soon as he could. He had the vague sense that it was important.
By the time he arrived, Munch and Fin were already gathered around Cragen's desk. Their looks were solemn. Elliot immediately knew it was serious. "Where's Olivia?" he asked. His tone was slightly panicked.
"Elliot," Cragen began. "I just got a call from Mercy. A woman was raped last night and left in an alley outside an apartment building that may or may not be her own." He inhaled to calm himself. This was frightening, but he would have to say it delicately to the rest of his detectives. "She had no ID on her. CSU is at the scene, but as far as we know they haven't found anything either. She's still unconscious, but one of the residents at Mercy recognized her."
At that moment, the door leading to Cragen's office opened. Munch automatically moved so that the person at the door could come forward slightly and be seen.
"What's going on?" Olivia asked as she looked at everyone else gathered around Cragen's desk. She had not gotten a call. Granted, she was a little late due to rush hour traffic, but she did not think that would exclude her from a case that was as important as this one looked. "Who's the vic?" she asked curiously.
Cragen nearly choked on his breath at the sight of her. Now he did not know what to think. He should believe his own eyes rather than what one of the doctors at Mercy told them. Mercy did not see Olivia every day. He did. His focus turned solely on Olivia. "You," he said in a confused tone.
