Authors Note: I know the last few chapters have not really focused on the case much. I wanted to first develop Anna's character a little more before I showed her in full-swing working. I'm still going to incorporate character developement in there using SVU and Third Watch, but now we're getting more into the case. Enjoy, and PLEASE review!!!

Maurice Boscorelli's Apartment

February 4, 2008

4:16 AM

The incessant ringing woke Anna from her deep sleep. The figure beside her shifted slightly, pulling her nude body closer to his own. "Leave it," he mumbled into her neck.

"I've gotta get this," Anna sighed, grabbing her cell phone from the night table where she'd left it. She felt the headache from hours earlier begin to hit, the alcohol doing what it always did to her. "Cipriani," she answered. Her eyes fell on the digital clock, the red numbers 4:17 teasing her half-asleep mind. The fact that she was being called at that time was never good.

"Anna, it's Olivia," the voice on the other end replied sleepily. "Meet me at Angel of Mercy - the emergency room."

"What's going on?" Anna asked quietly, sitting up a little. Bosco followed suit, looking at her curiously before running his hand up and down her left leg gently, causing her to shudder slightly.

"I'll explain when you get here," Olivia answered quickly. "See you in a bit," she added before hanging up.

Anna closed her phone and groaned before it turned into a moan when she felt Bosco's fingers slip inside of her. "Don't make my leaving any harder," she mumbled, her breathing quickening a tad.

"What happened?" he questioned, withdrawing his fingers as she stood up. He pulled on a pair of boxer shorts as he followed her into the living room to retrieve her forgotten clothes from the night before.

"Benson called. Wants me to meet her at the ER at Mercy," Anna explained, looking through the pile of clothes for her panties and bra. She gasped when he wrapped his strong arms around her from behind, moving up and down her torso before resting on her breasts. "Bosco, come on. I have to..." her voice trailed off as his fingers started massaging her nipples. He turned her around and bent slightly, beginning to suckle on one. "Leave," she breathed.

He grumbled before pulling back. "Alright," he pouted. He watched her pull on those black lace panties, cursing under his breath as the material teased him. He just wanted to pull her over and fuck her like there was no tomorrow, just as he had hours earlier. Picking up the lace bra, he went behind her and pulled it on her gently. "You know... I wanna fuck you all over again," he whispered into her left ear, his hot breath causing goosebumps on her neck.

"Well, if you let me out of here without a fight, you may get your wish later," Anna replied with a small smile, exhaling deeply as he fastened the clip of her bra. She pulled her sweater back on, followed by her gray pants. Pulling out her business card, she handed it to him. "My cell phone number's on the back," she said softly. "Give me a call later." She grabbed the rest of her stuff and headed out, leaving him standing there with an obvious hard-on.

"That I will," he smirked to himself before heading into the bathroom. He definitely needed a cold shower after that.

Angel of Mercy Emergency Room

4:42 AM

"Hey," Anna sighed, walking into Mercy to see Olivia standing there.

"Hey," Olivia offered a small smile, before her expression turned to one of confusion. "Did you go home?" she questioned, realizing Anna was wearing the same outfit she'd worn earlier.

"Doesn't matter," Anna answered. "What happened?"

"You remember Stacy's friend Jennifer?" Olivia asked. Anna nodded in response. "She was brought in here about an hour ago. Raped," Olivia explained.

"Same guy?" Anna asked.

"Looks to be. But guess what I found out."

"What?" Anna replied.

"Stacy's boyfriend, Joey. Turns out he was sleeping with Jennifer as well," Olivia explained. "And Melinda called before. She found bruising and other injuries that Stacy had. Looked to be only two weeks old."

"Abusive boyfriend..." Anna shook her head. "We thinkin' he killed Stacy and raped Jennifer?"

Olivia nodded. "Yea. First thing tomorrow - we're goin' to talk to him." She sighed and looked at her watch. "Wanna go get Jennifer's statement and then grab a coffee?"

"Yea," Anna nodded, pulling her dark hair up into a ponytail before disappearing into the exam room where Jennifer was.
