Alex woke up to Olivia in the bathroom water running. Alex leaned on the doorframe of the bathroom watching her girlfriend brush her teeth. Olivia looked over to Alex, and smiled and spitted out the fluids out of her mouth. "Hey, I didn't wake you did I?" She asked.

Alex stepped closer to Olivia and then sat on the counter. "No, but what are you doing up so early?"

"Oh I think I had to much too drink last night, your toliet now has my last night's dinner." Olivia joked.

"So are you ready for today?" Alex questioned, with it being Olivia's trial.

"No, it's been almost a month since it happen and I've been dredding this day since it happen," She opened up to Alex. "I don't think I can stomach being in the same room as him."

"I'm sorry it hasn't been quicker, but on the brightside... He has been sitting at Rikers while he has been waiting for this date." Alex tried get a smile out of Olivia. Olivia looked in Alex's eyes and handed her a smirk. Olivia stepped inbetween Alex's legs, and kissed her. "I'm going to take a shower, do you care to join me?" Alex questioned while resting her forehead to Olivia's and playing Olivia's necklace.

Olivia wanted to say 'Yes' but her body told her no, "Why don't you take a shower, and I'll cook you breakfast." She suggested wanted to please Alex and her body.


Alex smiled when Olivia and Elliot walked into the hall of the courthouse. "Hey," she greeted getting as close to her as other than to hug her. Alex noticed Olivia was pale. "Are you feeling better?"

"I think so?" She said adjusting her shirt. "It's probably just nerves."

Alex took Olivia's hand, made sure they look at each other in the eyes; and smiled "We got this." They walked into the courtroom.

Olivia sat down in the court room next to Ashley and Elliot on the bench behind Alex. Lowell was escorted in the room, he looked saw the girls and winked at Olivia. They all listen to the statements, and Ashley's and Fin's testimony. Russell called Lowell to the stand.

"Mr. Harris how do know Olivia Benson?" Russell asked his client.

"She was undercover as an inmate at Sealview,"

"Did you know she was undercover?"

"No,"

"How did Ms. Benson get the marks from Sealview?"

"She was very much out spoken from day one." Lowell was answering everything Russell was asking. Russell and Lowell were going back and forth until Russell finally said no more questions.

"Mr. Harris what were you doing when you brought my client down to the basement of Sealview?" Alex jumped up.

"Well she was making an outbrust, and was taking her down to the hole, but she insisted on doing other things."

"Other things as in?"

"She wanted to pleasure me instead of being in the hole."

"Can you explain what the Hole is?" Alex wanting the jury to hear.

"It's a cell where an inmate will be alone no interaction with anyone, and they are there for a day maybe more."

"And you brought her down to the basement knowing that ethically it is against the law to accept bribes. Let alone sexual favors?"

"Yes,"

"So you are telling us that that my client was asking for this?"

"Yes,"

"Why did my client ask for it?"

"All the girls in Sealview rather pleasure a cop rather than be in the hole."

"Mr. Harris if my client was asking for it, why did she wake in the hospital from being unconsious?"

"She wanted it rough."

"Is that why Dective Tutuola found her handcuffed."

"Yes."

"How did Dective Benson become unconscious?"

"I um I choked her." He stated.

"Did you have sex with my client?"

"Well," Harris was squirming trying to figure out how to answer the question.

"Mr. Harris answer my question."

"Yes."

"While she was unconsious, after she left you marks on you, and she didn't have a chance to say NO?"

"That's the way she wanted it."

Alex finish asked the questions to Lowell and then they moved on to Olivia's statment.


"Ms. Benson why did you deciede to go undercover?" Russell started a simliar question Alex asked her.

"Because I found out there were over 40 complants reported about certain guards were abusing thier power, and taken advantage of the female inmates."

"That's very noble of you, now did you know what you getting into when you took your mission?"

"I had a very good idea,"

"So can we say you lead on Mr. Harris while you were in jail?" Russell questioned.

"Objection!"

"Overruled," Donnelly replied, "please answer the question."

"No, I was trying to be a sitting duck and go with the flow while trying to figure out what was going on with these women." She explained what she did.

"Ms Benson do you have a boyfriend?"

Olivia was put back with the question, "No,"

"A girlfriend?" He asked.

Her eye's popped out of her head trying to figure out what Russell was trying to get out of her. Alex watched Liv becoming unconfortable. "As of the moment yes." Olivia answered before Alex could yell 'objection'.

"So are you gay?"

Olivia looked at Russell square in the eyes not liking her personal life being out in the open, telling stuff she hasn't even told Elliot yet. "I don't like to be labeled, the woman I'm seeing is the only woman I've been with."

"Do you miss being with men?" Russell asked Olivia with his back towards Olivia, but looking at Alex.

"I love my girlfriend." Olivia stated.

"And I believe you, but" Russell turned back to face Olivia, "Did you want to go down to the basement with Lowell want him to have 'rough sex', and have it looked like he forced sex on you?"

"No,"

"No further questions." Russell sat down on at his table. Olivia stepped down from the stand.


Alex and Russell both gathered thier thoughts for closing statements. Judge Donnelly had Hunter go up first.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, today you have heard statements from two highly decorated people from the law how can you tell who's telling the truth or not. Lowell Harris has admitted he has been abusing his power some nights of the week, but every inmate has been willing trade themselves instead of being in the hole. Now we have Dective Benson who has a history of being with men except at the present time, and she reports the sex act that happen. This wasn't rape and there was no evidence to proof Lowell rape Ashley Tyler either, please don't put this innocent man away." Russell sat down.

Alex clicked her pen and stood up, and looked everyone of the juriers. "Innocent? Lowell Harris is an officer of Sealview prision, but he is not an innocent man. That man" Alex pointed at Lowell. "Abused his power, he took advantage of the women in Sealview. If it weren't for the fact Ms. Benson went undercover this wouldn't have been known. Mr. Harris is claiming that Dective is making up a report now, why would a woman who has decicated her life to help woman fake a rape? Ashley is a 16yr old girl who pointed out the same deffect on Mr. Harris' penis, on the same man who raped her; coinsident? I think not."


Alex, Olivia, and Elliot were sitting in Alex's office, waiting for the jury to deciede. Olivia was pacing back and forth. Alex and Elliot were eating Chinese food, but Olivia's stomach couldn't handle anything.

"Olivia it's going to be okay, they're gonna convict him." Alex stated, which didn't help. "Why don't you eat something?"

"I can't eat anything without wanting to throw up. How strong do you think the case is when Hunter asked about my sexual past, he implanted thoughts into the jury's head?"

"I'm not sure," Alex confirmed. "But we still have Ashley's testamony still don't know strong it is."

"Yeah, why am I confused about how you answered your questions?" Elliot asked Olivia.

Olivia brushed off the question, to ask Alex, "How did he know to ask it?"

Alex looked at Olivia and Elliot, "Well Russell could have seen this and knew he could try and use it to you." Alex picked a picture on her desk, and nice friendly picture of Olivia and Alex that was taking by Elliot when the SVU gang celebrated a won case. Elliot took the photo so he can answer his own question. "He was more interested in my reactions to your questions, than you answer truthfully or not."

"He wanted to get back at you more than his win his case?" Elliot questioned.

"No, He wants to win his case, by getting back at me, but not only was it getting back at me he tried to attack me and Olivia together." Alex explained, knowing her win loose ratio between her and Hunter, and looked at Olivia,"I'm sorry I couldn't stop him, Donnelly would over ruled me anyways."

"It's not your fault, we've been on downlow, and I can't lie on the stand." Olivia comfort Alex placing her hands on Alex's arms. A knock on the door and Alex's assistant came in to tell them that the court was ready.
