It had been three weeks since Olivia had started the computer skills course and amazingly she had managed to make it to all six lessons. Unfortunately it seemed as if she wasn't going to make the seventh. It had been a relatively slow day at SVU and Olivia had decided to leave early. Before she could leave however Elliot had received a phone call from Mercy General about a rape victim that they needed to go see. Fin and Munch were in court so that left her to tag along with Elliot.
They arrived at Mercy and were escorted to the victim's room by a young nurse whose tag identified her as Helen Carnet.
"Belinda, these are two detectives from SVU. They're here to help you," Helen opened the door of the examine room and allowed Elliot and Olivia to pass.
Belinda was a medium height brunette with dark green eyes. Bruises covered most of her face and there was a nasty gash above her right eye.
"Belinda, I'm Detective Benson and this is my partner Detective Stabler, can you tell us what happened," Olivia walked over to the girl leaving Elliot at the door so as not to make Belinda shy or nervous.
"I was walking home from the library when someone grabbed me from behind and threw me into the back of a van and started kissing me. I tried to fight back and scream but he started hitting me. I could feel the car moving I was so scared. Then the man he, he raped me," Belinda took a deep breath to try and control her sobbing before continuing. "When he was done he opened the back of the van and told me to get out. I was too slow so he pushed me. By the time I had gotten up the van was gone."
"Where did he drop you off? Do you remember a street sign or a shop or something like that?" Elliot asked.
"Here at the hospital."
"Did he say anything during the attack? A name maybe," Olivia asked.
"He said 'This is going to be the best sex you've ever had so you had better stop fighting or else it's going to be the last you ever have,'" Belinda sobbed harder at the memory.
"How many others were there Belinda," Olivia looked up from her notes.
"Two men, I think, in the front. I didn't see their faces they never turned around."
"Did you see the face of the man who attacked you?" Elliot questioned.
"No, he was wearing a ski mask and he had gloves on."
"Okay. Belinda Nurse Helen is going to come back and so a rape kit. We'll come and see you in the morning. Try and get some sleep," Elliot said gently knowing that Belinda was not up to telling them more at the moment.
Olivia and Elliot left the hospital saying goodbye to Helen as they passed. They headed beck to the squad car; Elliot driving as usual.
"Don't you have class tonight?" Elliot asked her as they pulled out of the parking space.
"Yeah but then we got called in."
"I can drop you off it's not that much a detour. The rape kit won't be done until tomorrow and there's nothing we can do until we get the results."
"Okay. Thanks."
Hudson University
The drive had been short and quiet. The class was littered all over the squad talking in small groups.
Turning to Elliot, Olivia said, "I finish at eight. You're going to have to pick me up. My car is still at the house."
"No problem. Have fun. Don't break anything," Elliot dodged to avoid Olivia's palm.
Olivia jumped out of the car grabbing her coat and bag. She glanced down at the gun and badge that were still resting on her hip. It would be a lot easier to just leave it with Elliot. She knew that in some buildings at Hudson they had metal detectors.
"El, I'm leaving my gun and badge in your car. I'll take them when you pick me up."
Elliot grabbed the holster and badge she offered him and stuffed them in his cubby. He smiled at Olivia as she closed the door and waved before driving off.
Olivia watched the back of the car disappear around the corner.
"Who was that?" Pam came up behind Olivia. Pam and Olivia had become good friends in the three weeks since the class had begun and Olivia had learned a few things about her. Pam was an accountant with two grown children Abigail and Joshua. Her husband had died from cancer three years before.
"That was my partner from work. He gave me a lift because my car is still at work"
"Is he your boyfriend?"
Olivia looked shocked at the question. It wasn't as if she hadn't been asked that a million times after all she did spend most of her time with him, "No, definitely not."
"He single?"
"Divorced."
"So why aren't you dating him? You know getting some action."
"Eww, Elliot?" Olivia shuddered at the thought, "No seriously it's against the rules."
"Rules? Who cares about rules? If I worked with someone who was that hot I'd risk it in a second."
Just then Mr. Laidley called them into class. Once everyone had settled down in their places, "Okay today we are going to learn how to open encrypted files. You may use the laptop or the computer for this lesson."
Olivia looked around at what everyone else was doing. They all seemed to be turning on their computers. She looked between her computer and laptop; eventually she decided to turn on the computer.
"Why you using the computer?" Pam asked.
"It's what I use at work and besides I don't own a laptop."
The lesson went smoothly Mr. Laidley cracked a few jokes and everyone learnt how to open encrypted files. It made no difference in how to open the file on the computer compared to using a laptop as they both ran on the same system. It just took a little longer. Unlike the first lesson when the clock struck eight the class was packed up and ready to go.
AN: This is part one of chapter two. My sister was shouting at me to get off when I first wrote this and I am too lazy to make it one chapter now. Please keep the reviews coming even if you are only reading this in 2020 or something. Feedback tells me how I am doing and can help me to improve.
