Lizzie Stabler was halfway down the stairs of her father's home when she heard the front door open. Stopping, she watched as the door fully opened as her father and brother entered the house, relaxing a little as she continued down the stairs.
At hearing movement behind them both Stabler men turned 'Hey' greeted Elliot 'Where are you're sisters?
Lizzie shrugged 'I told them to go. They said something about going shopping for dinner. They'll be back later'
'I tried calling you Lizzie' began Dickie.
'I know...30 times'
'You didn't answer'
'Oh. I'm sorry Richard. I was being raped! Did you want me to ask him to stop so I could answer your call? Because I did. And it didn't work' she yelled as she turned making her way back upstairs.
Elliot turned shooting Dickie a look before jogging up the stairs to Lizzie's bedroom. 'Lizzie' he called as he knocked on the closed door. 'Liz'
'Go away' she cried angrily.
Sighing, Elliot returned downstairs.
'She OK?' questioned Dickie 'Stupid question' he said when he saw the look on his father's face. 'I might go up and talk to her' he told his father as he got up off the couch and moved towards the stairs.

2 hours later Olivia found herself standing on the steps in front of a brown door. Taking a deep breath she raised a closed fist, knocking on the door, as she waited for the door to be answered she lowered her hand back to her side. Before she had a chance to think about leaving, the door opened with Elliot Stabler standing in the doorway. 'Liv' he greeted in surprise.
Before he could invite her in she held up a finger to silence him as her phone rang. 'Benson' she answered. 'OK' she said after a few moments. 'I'll be there in 30. Elliot I'm sorry' she began as she ended the call 'I'm needed at the station. I wanted to check on Lizzie' explaining why she was on his doorstep.
'Liv. It's OK. Your the boss'
'Tell Lizzie I haven't forgotten about her'

'What's going on? Olivia asked as she walked towards the detectives who stood in a small huddle in front of the interview room's two way mirror.
We didn't want to call you but...' Amanda began.
'He wants to talk to the person in charge' Finn answered.
At hearing the door open Matthew Berry looked up from the table
'Matthew' began Olivia 'I hear you wanted to talk to the person the person in charge. I'm Lt. Benson'
'So, can you tell me what I'm doing here?' Matthew questioned.
'My Detective's didn't tell you?'
'They said I could help them'
'Yeah. We think you can. You were at The Stone last night'
'Yeah, I was at a gig there'
'Were you there by yourself?'
'No. I was there with friends'
'Do you know Elizabeth Stabler? You guys look to be around the same age'
'Yeah I know Lizzie. We were in the same group that went to the gig last night. Err..that's not going to get her into trouble is it? I mean she's only 20' Matthew said in concern.
'No. No, it's OK' Olivia reassured. 'How well do you know Elizabeth?'
'We have mutual friends. WE traveled to Europe together'
'Romantic Feelings?'
'For Lizzie?'
Olivia nodded.
'Yeah. She's smart, hot, killer body. I was actually going to ask her out last night'
'Did you?'
'No. She disappeared'
'Did you go look for her?'

Without knocking Dickie opened the door of his sister's room and entered.
At hearing the door open Lizzie who was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling looked towards the door to find her brother entering her bedroom. 'Go away Richard'
Dickie drew in a breath. He knew his sister was angry with him as she had called him by his full name. 'No' he answered, sitting down on her desk chair. 'I'm sorry' he said.
'What for?' questioned Lizzie. 'For not leaving me alone? For blowing up my phone?'
'For not being there' Dickie answered before Lizzie continued on her role of things Dickie needed to apologize for.
'It's not your fault Dickie'
'But it is. I stayed home to write some stupid assignment. I bailed on you. If I was there, this would never have happened'
'You don't know that' Lizzie said as she sat up on her bed crossing her legs as she turned to face Dickie.
'That's what Liv said; that it wasn't my fault'
'You went and saw Olivia?' Lizzie questioned.
'Yeah. After dad told me what happened to you. I left here and I had her business card in my hand so I just went to her apartment. Did you know she has a kid?'
'Yeah. I saw a picture of him in her office'
'Sames, she has one on her wall in her apartment. He looks a lot like her'
'he's a lucky kid. So what did you say to her'
'I apologized'
'You what?'
'I apologized'
'You. Dickie Stabler, said sorry to Olivia Benson' Lizzie asked her brother disbelieving him.
'Well, in a way'
'Oh my god, Dickie! You have to say the word sorry. I know how guilty you have felt ever since you accused her and dad of seeping together'
'She understood' Dickie argued back

Before she could get an answer, Elliot rushed into the interview room, kicking the chair out from under the man who was sitting on it causing him to fall to the ground. Elliot picked up the man by the collar of his shirt throwing him up against the wall of the interview room. Elliot gripped the collar of his shirt tightly with both hands.
'You little prick. You raped my daugther!'
'Det..' Olivia began but stopped herself. He was no longer a cop. 'Mr. Stabler'! She cried angrily.
Olivia placed a hand on Elliot's shoulder, trying to calm her former partner when she saw his fists get tighter around the the man's collar 'Elliot' she said quietly and calmly.
Feeling Olivia's hand on his shoulder he released his grip on Matthew's shirt and jerked his shoulder away from Olivia's touch before storming out of the interview room with Olivia following.
'What the hell Elliot?' asked Olivia as she slammed the interview room door closed as she followed Elliot out of the interview room and into the squad room. 'You're not a cop anymore you cant just bust into an interview!'
'He raped my daughter' he cried angrily back at her as he pointed towards the closed interview room door.
'I had him Elliot. I was this close' she said as she used her thumb and pointer finger to show him a small distance between the two fingers 'But thanks to your little performance just now he is going to lawyer up and he wont say a damn thing' Olivia shot back, fuming at her former partner.
'I'm sorry' he replied quietly
Olivia shook her head. 'You want to talk. We do it now. Amaro, Rollins try and get a confession. Finn, I'm heading out. No interruptions' she finished as she brushed past Elliot.
