Like I promised you guys, two chapters in one day! By the way, you guys are getting lazy, I need more reviews! I got only 3 in my last chapter (the last one said someone was going to kill me *sweat drop*) Anyway, remember, this story is almost over! :( I hate it when one of my best story is going to end! Remember this: More reviews, sooner update and less reviews, later update. Anyway, on with the story!
P.S, what a lucky guy Dick Wolf is.

Huang walked into the courtroom, thinking that the defense will asked question that will make Olivia seem crazy. He walked to the witness stand, swore to tell the truth and sat down, ready for the attack of the questions. Casey got up and walked up to him
"Dr. Huang, when you first evaluated Detective Benson, what was her appearance and her behavior?"
"When I was beginning to ask her hows she doing, stuff like that, she seemed, okay. Calm at the most. She looked like that she haven't been sleeping, I also noticed her eyes were pink and puffy, like she had been crying recently."
"What about if you started asking questions to what happened to her?"
"She didn't want to answer, she hesitated most of the time. I started saying things like none of this is her fault. Right after she sat down and she unzipped her sweater and what I saw was horrifing."
Casey walked back and held up pictures of rashes, scratches and burns Olivia made on herself. "People's 2 your honor. Was it these you were talking about?"
"Yes."
"What happened after that?"
"She plopped on the ground crying her eyes out. It's the first time ever I have ever seen her break down like that."
"Did she say anything?"
"Like most rape victims, she kept on blaming herself. She wanted to scrub off the feeling of her rape and she wanted to feel like before, so she scrubbed so hard that she left painful red marks."
"What was your conclusion?"
"I diagnosed her with RTS, rape trauma symdrome and PTSD."
"In your conclusion doctor, do you think she'll ever recover from her ordeal."
"It's going to take alot of work and healing. But she will be able to recover I hope."
"No further questions your honor." Casey said heading back to her seat. Then Ms. Dunbar got up
"Doctor, do you think Detective Benson will recover fully?"
"Not entirely."
"What will be some difficulties she'll be facing?"
"She will have flashbacks, trouble sleeping, not eating as much."
"So, she will be experiancing all this, while on the field. Do you think she will be equiped to continue working?"
"I think only Detective Benson could answer that."
"Doctor, do you think she's crazy?"
"Objection!" Casey yelled
"Sustained." Donnelly said
"So, in your own instincts doctor, she had PTSD now, do you think she had it in the past?"
"Yes she did."
"Do you know how she got it?"
"Once again, only she can answer that."
"Okay, so do you think with all this going on with her, do you think she is capable of suicide?"
"Objection! Irelevent!"
"Overrulled. Answer the question Dr. Huang."
Huang hesitated for a while and finally answered. "Yes."
"So, she is crazy."
"That is not what I said! She always overcomes everything that has been thrown at her! She is a strong woman and a strong cop. You may twist it all you want, but its not her to blame for all this. It's those 2 scumbags that you are Mr. Holt are representing." Huang finally said. God I know what those two did to her, but I had no choice to represent them. They should be wiped off the earth. She thought "No further questions, your honor." Ms. Dunbar said walking back. Casey got up and walked up
"Redirect your honor?" She asked. Donnelly nodded and Casey went forth with the questions
"Dr. Huang, when you said that Detective Benson is capable of suicide, why did you think that?"
"She was so deeply torn, deeply brutilized, she was violated and humiliated to the extreme by those two defendents, she needed something to stop the pain, but as long as I know her, she is a good woman and she will definatly not try to harm herself. She blames herself alot for not trying to stop this from happening. She is vunrable right now and she needs all the love she can get. The first part of her to heal, is to see the people who did this to her in prison."
"With all these marks and rashes all over her, what do they look like to you?"
"A cry for help. She is in pain beyond our imagination."
"Finally doctor, based on these photos, how do you think she will be able to work at SVU again?"
"This job means EVERYTHING to her. She is a very strong and a very excelent woman to be able to work at SVU for over a decade. She needs all the love and support she needs from everyone, especially her co-workers." Huang finally said.
"No further questions your honor." Casey said walking back to her seat.
"You may step down Dr. Huang." Judge Donnelly said. Huang nods and exits the stand sitting next where the rest of the SVU squad is.
"Anymore witnesses Ms. Novak?" Donnelly asks
"The people call Detective Olivia Benson to the stand."
