CHAPTER 10 – Station House
Elliot wheels out of Room 1 and looks around. "Where's Liv?" He asks, wondering why she is not waiting for him.
"She just went back into Room 2. I got done before you so they took that room. How was it?" Fin answered him, feeling the same concern as Elliot. They both looked towards Cragens office, knowing he was watching.
Olivia and Dana were sitting together in Room 2, both wondering why they were being interviewed together. Olivia was ok with it as she knew she would be able to answer any question they threw at her in front of Dana. She did, however think it was very strange since it is against policy for IAB to interview together. They were staring at each other when the door opened, and both their jaws dropped.
"What are you doing here? This is an IAB investigation." Dana questioned as Olivia sat there, stunned.
"I am here to do the interview. Let's just get started. Olivia, please explain to me what happened. How did Harris get you in the first place?"
Olivia swallowed hard, not wanting to say a word to Porter. He was her case agent when she was undercover for the FBI. He had hurt and betrayed her and she didn't trust him. "He knocked on the door of my apartment. I went to the door and checked the peep hole. I saw him and turned back into my apartment to get my cell and gun. Before I could, he kicked in the door and came after me. We struggled, then he pulled a gun and told me I had to go with him."
"So you just gave up and went with him?"
"I was unarmed. My choices consisted of go with him or get shot. Sorry, my decision wasn't the one you would have chosen." Olivia responded with extreme sarcasm.
"Olivia, I'm not trying to judge you. I am just trying to get the story. Where did he take you? What happened next?" Porter had a sound of concern in his voice now, knowing he upset her.
"He drove me around for awhile. I was a little worked up and got confused, I lost track of where I was. He finally stopped in front of this old apartment building and took me inside." She paused not wanting to go on.
"Olivia, please tell me what he did to you."
"He took me to an apartment on the fifth floor. Pushed me straight into a bedroom. He started hitting me. I fought him at first but soon he overpowered me. He threw me onto the bed and cuffed my arm to the bed. He took off my clothes and he raped me. Then he beat me. This continued for a while, a few hours maybe, I am not sure how long. Then he pulled out a needle and shoved it into my arm and said 'sleep tight sweet cheeks' as a warm feeling came over me. I couldn't fight it, I fell asleep. This was a pattern that continued for the next 3 days."
"What happened when Detective Stabler showed up?"
"Porter, I can't do this. Please, let's just do this another day. Get someone else to do the interview."
"Please just finish. You're almost done."
She sighs a heavy sigh and continues "I woke up but couldn't open my eyes. There was tape over them. I could hear Harris speaking to someone else. I couldn't hear the other person talk back so I didn't know how it was. Then Harris raped me again. After he left the room, I heard my name and knew it was Detective Stabler's voice. I got the tape off my eyes and looked over at him just a Harris walked back in. That is when he began beating us. The he pulled his gun on Elliot and was about to pull the trigger when I closed my eyes. I heard the shot and when I opened them, I saw Stabler slumped in the chair, then Harris in a mound on the floor. Then Dana came in and rushed over to me. That's it. I'm done. Can I go now?"
"Thank you Olivia. You are free to go. I just need to speak with Agent Lewis briefly." Porter leaned in to hug her but she backed away and held out her hand to him. He took it reluctantly, giving it a gentle shake. She picked up her cane and limped out, wishing she was able to run because she would have.
Dana had sat quietly throughout Olivia's interview. Olivia had told her other details that she didn't bring up today. Dana wasn't about to bring them up to Porter on her own, and hoped the others didn't either. She was mentally preparing herself for this when Porter opened his mouth.
"Agent Lewis. You are not really needed here. We just had to make it look good. It actually worked out pretty nice, you showing up to help out. Just made this even better."
"What the HELL are you talking about? Was this a set up? How could you do this and what the hell for? Are you really that much of a sleazy asshole that you would put these people in that much danger? DO you have any idea what these 2 people went through?" Dana was so upset that she forgot to realize that Captain Cragen and Munch, and who knows if any others, were watching. "Shoot…bastard." She said, almost under her breath as she looked at him. She turned to walk out the door when Porter grabbed her arm and stopped her. She shook him off and looked him straight in the eyes "What?" she demanded.
"Keep your mouth shut about this. They will know in time. But thanks for doing the dirty work. You just took the fire off of those saps."
