Thank you all for your reviews. I wasn't expecting that many for my first chapter nonetheless my first story.

Anyways here's chapter two. It's kind of a shocker what you find out. Enjoy!

"Detective wait."

I turn to Janice just as I was getting ready to exit the building.

"Yes nurse."

"I failed to mention this earlier but there were some bruises on the girl that were too old to have come from the attack," she pauses before she says the next part "I did a little checking on her records and Anya has a history of trips to the ER. It's evident that this girl is suffering from abuse. I think we should call social services."

My eyes widen, "Yes you go ahead and do that."

Back at the precinct, Anya was in the interview room with Elliot, he was asking her the same questions Olivia asked her earlier and she gave him the same answers. Anya's mother was asked to wait out in the hall, little did they know that Olivia Benson was on her way and was blinded with anger after leaving the hospital.

"How dare you hurt your own child, you bitch." Olivia said as she entered the precinct. Before she knew it, she slapped Anya's mother clear on the face.

Captain Cragen was standing only a few feet away and saw the whole incident, "Detective my office now." He said to the detective, shocked that she would do such a thing.

Anya's mother gripped her face and said, "I want your badge number."

Anya didn't see what but Elliot had seen and come out to give her some ice then headed to eavesdrop on Olivia and Cragen.

"Just what was that out there?"

Olivia answered but made no eye contact "The nurse told me that Anya has been a victim of abuse"

"Well we know that, that's why she's in here but you don't honestly think it was her mother who coordinated the whole thing do you?"

Olivia looked up and shook her head, "Previously, which would explain why she wanted to leave the house. Her mother was beating her."

"What? Well we have to report it to child services."

"Already on it cap." Elliot said with the phone to his ear.

Cragen turned his attention back to Olivia "And you get back out there and talk to Anya."

"Yes captain."

Anya was sitting in the interview room patiently it seemed, she looked so small in there, so scared.

I opened the door and stepped in "Hi Anya do you remember me?"

She turns and looks at me with those brown eyes again "Of course I remember you; you're detective Benson from the hospital."

"Yes. How are you feeling?" wow way to be subtle

"How am I supposed to feel I was raped, yelled at for so, blamed and now I'm here just waiting to home. I'm exceptionally tired and I just want to go home and sleep."

I sit across from her "I know hon, but you can't go home yet, there's still a lot more we need to go through."

"Ugh. I said everything I remembered, what else is there to say."

"We have to wait for someone to come."

"Who?"

Everything gets serious now.

I reach for her arm and pull up her sleeve exposing her bruises, she pulls them down and makes up a lie much like any abuse victim would.

"I fell down the stairs last week."

I lift up her chin and looker her straight in the face "Anya we know that's not true, I know it's your mom that's been hurting you. Is that why you left you house tonight?"

After a minute of silence, she answers, "I was planning on leaving tonight. I really was going to my friend's house, we had a plan."

"And what plan was that?"

"I was going to look for my birth mother."

Those made me release her. "Anya do you know who your birth mother is?"

She shook her head. "No but that was part of the plan to go to the hospital that I was born and start from there until I finally found her. It was a long shot but I was hoping it would work. And then that bastard had to come and follow me and ruin all my plans."

"Follow you?" I saw her go stiff "You know who this to you didn't you?"

She refused to speak.

"Anya we can't help you if you don't tell us who it is that did this to you."

"I can't tell you"

"Why not?" somehow I feared this answer, it might have been someone that was close to her or her mother.

"Because of my mother."

"Anya she can't hurt you anymore, I promise you that she can't."

She took a deep breath before saying before saying, "it was-"

Then her mother burst through the door "Anya get up I'll have you not accuse innocent people. We are leaving. Now!"

Anya showed fear as she quickly got to her feet and followed her mother out the door.

She looked back at me with fear in those brown eyes, like a scared kitten. She then pointed at something by the chair and that's when I noticed she purposely left her sweater behind. My this girl was smart. She just gave us an excuse to go to her house.
