Chapter 9:

"On my wrist? Oh Captain Cragen, I...was scratched by a cat. Evil black cat," Jenna lies, covering her arms. I feel myself sweat with fear. Please no!

"Oh really?" Cragen walks over to Jenna and whips the sleeves of her shirt up. Revealing her cuts. It's all over. She has been caught.

"Those were not caused by a cat, Jenna Raymond,"

"Captain, I can explain!"

"You don't need to,"

"Captain, I don't cut. Not anymore! These are old..." Jenna tries to explain anyway. She looked petrified. Like Captain was going to hit her or something.

"Old or not, this is really serious. When I asked Tucker to let you work on SVU, we both knew that there were risks. You're 14 years old Jenna, not 40-something, 50-something year olds like the rest of the detectives,"

"Captain, I haven't cut since I was 12 years old!" Jenna cries. I walk over and try to defend her in the best way possible.

"Cap, she hasn't cut in 2 years. Leave her be," I say calmly.

"Olivia, stay out of this," he says. I feel Elliot's hand touch my arm. I shake it off.

"No! She doesn't need to be yelled at! She is perfectly stable at the precinct..."

"Liv, weeks ago you said that Jenna shouldn't be here and now you are standing up for her? Liv, cutting is very serious, and it's a sign to me that someone is not stable here in SVU," Cragen says, turning back to Jenna.

"I'm fine! I'm not cutting! I can solve a case!" Jenna screams.

"That's ENOUGH!" Cragen yells, slamming his hand against the wall. Jenna backs into me. I can feel her shaking. The poor girl is scared out of her wits. "Jenna, I can not have a 'child' in my precinct who mutilates her arms, just for some stupid decoration purpose," Cragen continues, empasizing on child.

I can't believe what I just heard. Even Elliot looks shocked. I look down at my own arms. I am wearing a long-sleeved shirt so my cuts are covered, but I pull the sleeves even lower so Cragen doesn't see them and ream me too.

"Jenna, I'm letting you go. I going to call Tucker too and let him know about what I saw," Jenna is now crying. Tears slowly stream from her eyes and down her cheeks. It is weird seeing someone that I have known for months. A strong and tough as nails girl, crying now.

"Captain...please," she whispers.

"Thank you for your services Ms. Raymond," And with that, Cragen walks to his office and slams the door. Jenna furiously swipes at her eyes and pulls down her shirt sleeves. She says something I can't understand and runs out of the precinct like a lightning bolt.

"Wow...Jenna Raymond used to cut herself?" Elliot says, shocked. "If someone I knew was cutting...I wouldn't know how to make of them," He then walks down the hall, leaving me alone.

I am now crying myself. How would he react if he found out I was cutting? I feel like cutting right now. Just grabbing my little Exacto knife and one swift movement across my arm would solve everything...
