Helloooooo everyone. Thank you so very much for all the reviews and all the well wishes! You guys rock:) And I had time and here is what happened because of it. Let me know what you think...meaning I want reviews;);)

G you are as always the best and you managed to get of the couch completely. Hehehehe we'll see how long that lasts;)

Chase felt like banging her head on the desk. They had been up all night trying to make headway on the Fitch case, but they were stuck and she was exhausted. The smell of coffee got her to look around. 'Whoever you are hand over that coffee or I'll shoot you!'

Fin laughed as her handed Chase a cup. 'Well aren't you ray of sunshine?'

Chase only grunted and sipped on the coffee. 'OOOhhh damn that is nice. Thanks Finn.'

'Thought you might need it. Make any headway?' Finn sits on the side of Chase's desk.

Chase shook her head frustrated. 'No, and we are careful about asking aother service people about them since we do not know if they were out on base or not. And we sure as hell don't want to add even more on these two's plate's.'

Finn nodded as he handed a bleary eyed Olivia. 'Did the partner make it?'

Olivia nodded but there was sadness in her eyes. Chase had explained her injuries and the woman had a lot of healing to do. 'Yes, but she will most likely never walk again.'

Finn shook his head. It just never got any easier. And people were just completely insane and evil if you asked him, just not everyone let that evil side out. But enough did. 'So you talked to her yet?'

'We won't be able for a while she's tubed and in an medically induced coma. It's what's best for her right now.' Chase sipped more of the hot coffee. It was her version of bliss.

'And you haven't followed up with Captain Fitch?' Finn stated more than asked.

Olivia nodded. 'No, but we were going to head there soon. Hopefully we can get some more information from her.'

'You still going with the theory it's other service men?'

'Yes, from what little Fitch said it is obvious that they either are or at least were in the service. Another reason why we are being very careful about talking to other people on the base.' Chase put on her jacket, they might as well get going now that they both had some coffee in them.

Olivia did the same. 'We want to hear from Fitch who knew about her and Gina and who didn't. And if they had any enemies or had received any threats.'

'Well I hope she gives you anything. I am going to get back on checking both their financials, E-mails and Phone logs. I'll let you know if I find anything.'

'Thanks Finn you are a gift to mankind.' Chase winked and laughed when he mock growled at her. She felt much better, even if this was more than likely going to be another long day.

Chase and Olivia looked around the hospital hall confused. It seemed to be utter chaos. When one of the nurses spied them she rushed over looking very relieved. 'You're the cops from yesterday, right?'

'Yes we are.' Olivia said her shoulders tense with suspicion. 'What is going on?'

The nurse bit her lip. 'There are some Army cops here...they are...they badgering Ms. Fitch.' The nurse's voice held her utter horror at what she had seen. 'They arrested her.'

'WHAT?' Both Chase and Olivia barked both pulling their weapons, knowing that these Army Cops might well be the guys that had raped and beaten the two women in the first place.

Chase eyed the nurse. 'Stay here and tell any of the other nurses and doctors to do the same.'

Olivia nodded having already called for back up. 'How should we do this?'

'Well they don't know we're here, so go in straight up and surprise the hell out of them.' Chase whispered as the neared Captain Fitch's room. Hearing voices yell angrilly.

Olivia held up three fingers then counted them down. Then they both burst into the room. 'NYPD don't move.'

Three meaty looking men stopped in their tracks in shock. Before one recovers. 'You have no jurisdiction here Detective. We are here to arrest this woman.' The last woman her spat out. Obviously not thinking much about Captain Fitch.

'That's where you're wrong Sergeant.' Chase kept her weapon raised. She knew MP's and these three were not MP's she would bet her next pay-check on it. 'The crime was not committed on a base and it was not committed while the Captain was on duty, making her a civilian at the time. This is ours.' Chase eyed him he looked very angry and not like he was going to back off. 'Now you see our badges, I want to see yours.' She just caught the two other's shift around nervously.

The one that had been doing the talking snarled at her. 'I don't have to show you shit!'

'Well actually you are bound by law to show civilian law enforcement your identification when asked for it.' Olivia put in. She had caught on to what Chase was thinking. These were not MP's.

Her knew they were trapped, they should have come earlier. He moved his hand to where his gun was. Stopped dead when he saw one of the women aiming right at his heart.

'Give me a reason.' Chase growled and looked on in satisfaction as the man finally held his hands up. Just then their back up barged in. 'Well nice timing guys. Take them in for us?'

'Yes ma'am,' one of the officers said as her roughly cuffed one of the supposed MP's.

When the officers had dragged three men out Olivia and Chase turned their attention at a deathly pale Captain Fitch. 'Captain can we get you anything?'

Fitch shook her head. 'Yes, tell me what the fuck is going on?'

Olivia holstered her weapon. 'Well we were hoping you might have an idea? Because we have no idea.'

Fitch frowned. 'This is just so very fucked up. I don't know, but they were not MP's that is for sure.' She shivered. 'They were about to 'arrest' me.'

Chase sat down next to her. 'I agree with you they are not MP's, but they are army.'

'Yes I noticed that too.' Fitch said softly. 'It could have been them, couldn't it?' She asks her voice a mere whisper.

'We can't say at this time, but obviously they know something. And we will find out what.' Olivia said as she also sat down.

'I guess you want to go over what happened last night.' Fitch said her stomach turning at the thought.

Chase nodded. 'The more information we have the faster we can catch whoever did this to you and Gina.'

Fitch swallowed hard and nodded. 'Can you...do you know more about Gina? They still won't tell me anything.'

Chase looked at Olivia who gave her a small nod. The woman had a right to know what was going on with her lover. 'She pulled through, but is in critical condition.'

Fitch looked at Chase, and knew that she was holding something back. 'What else.'

Chase bit her lip, this was always so hard telling people that their lives were never going to be the same again. 'It's more than likely she will never walk again.'

'Oh god!' Fitch gasped. 'They took away her legs? Oh god.'

Olivia took Fitch's hand trying to offer support. 'I am sorry Captain.'

'Terry.' Fitch said softly.

Olivia simply nodded. 'Is there anyone we can call for you?'

Terry shook her head. 'We were all the other had. We are each other's power of atourney, have been for years.'

Chase's eyebrow raised. I wonder how many people know about that? And why in God's name is the hospital not honouring it?'Did anyone on base know about that?'

Terry nodded. 'We are out if that is what you mean. We were one of the first couples on base to come out after we finally could. And even before that it was common knowledge that we were family.'

'Were there any bad reactions when you first came out?' Olivia prompted, they were moving slowly not pushing Terry to relive the horror of the previous night.

Terry closed her eyes thinking. 'I guess, but nothing we hadn't expected. Some taunts and a lot of dirty looks. Even some threatening mail.'

'Do you still have any of the threats?' Chase asked, hoping that just maybe that could be the break they were looking for.

Terry nodded. 'Yes both Gina and me decided that it would be wise to keep them and hand them to the police if the threats didn't stop. But they did pretty soon after they started. We only got about five letters that's it.'

'The people that made comments, did any of them stand out to you?' Olivia was as hopeful as Chase that the letters would give them something, but they had to look at all the angles.

'Well I don't know. At the time Gina thought it was nothing, but...but her CO made some very disparaging remarks, and I know from the rumour mill that he is a real staunch opponent to gays and lesbians in the service.

'Can you give me his name?'

Terry nodded. 'Admiral Jason Merlock.'

Chase's brows rose dramatically. Oh shit shit shit! I really hope he is not one of the Merlock's! If he is this has just gotten even a hotter powder keg. Chase jumped when her phone rang checking and seeing it was Finn she excused herself from the room. 'Hey Finn what's up?'

'Well first those three creeps you sent us, they have some serious power behind them. Their high end lawyer is trying every trick in the book to get them out.'

Chase could feel her anger boil, the creeps. 'If they leave we won't find them again.'

'Chill girl I got Cabot working on it and she is not letting them go, no worries.' Fin calmed Chase down. 'Another thing someone broke into Fitch's apartment last night. According to my sources the place was tossed.'

'Shit!' Chase slammed her hand on the wall. 'I am on my way there. They better be holding the scene.'

'Nope Cap wants you to stay where you are. Me and Munch are heading there now.'

Chase growled, not happy at all. 'Fine. Anything else?'

'Nope that's it.'

'Ok thanks Fin. Call me when you get to the scene.'

'Sure thing. Later.'

Fin hung up leaving a still fuming Chase on the other end of the line. She knew that going back into the room was a bad idea, she was way to aggressive. So she decided to ask the nurses why they were keeping information from Terry Fitch about her partner if they were each other's power of attorney.

'Ok Terry can you tell me a little more about what happened last night?' Olivia pressed just a little. She knew that it was incredibly painful to talk about, but they had to get the information.

Terry closed her eyes willing herself not to cry. God she could see every detail of what happened of what they did. What they made her watch. She wasn't sure if she was strong enough to tell the detective.

Olivia squeezed Terry's hand. 'Take your time.'

'There were four of them.' Terry swallowed as she started talking. 'Two held me on my knees forcing me to watch as they beat Gina. She fought back so hard. And the harder she fought the harder they beat her.'

Olivia could see from Terry's expression that the next part was would probably haunt her dreas for a very long time. 'Just take it slow and stead.' She tried to soothe Terry knowing it was a hollow gesture.

'When she finally didn't fight back any more they...' Terry's voice cracked and she had to take a deep breath. 'They cut...cut her and cut her uniform off. Then...then took turn raping her.'

Olivia reacted fast and grabbed the basin from the side of Terry's bed and held it under her face as Terry violently vomited. Again and again. Olivia did the only thing she could think of. Gently rubbing the woman's back and telling her everything would be ok. When Terry settled down again Olivia sat back down waiting for Terry to start talking again.

'When they were done they turned to me.' Terry said quietly her mouth tasting like vomit. 'They were in the process of beating when I heard sirens. I guess someone must have seen or heard them and called the police.'

Olivia closed her eyes a second. To little to late for Gina. 'Terry did they rape you?'

Terry shook her head. 'They were taking their time beating me. They told me that they wanted me nice and complaint just like my girlfriend.'

'Do you remember anything about the men. Little details about the men?' Olivia asked keeping Terry going wanting to get her trough this so that she could rest afterwards.

Terry once again tried to close her eyes and remember. 'Two if them were real big. Maybe around six foot. The other two were about my height.'

Olivia nodded as she scribbled all that down. 'Anything else?'

Terry frowned. 'One of them had a strange accent. I think he could have been German.'

'And the others?'

'The one that did the most talking, he had a limp.' Terry opened her eyes when she remembered it. 'Left leg.'

Olivia nodded. 'Thank you Terry you did really well. And again I am sorry.'

Terry nodded then bit her lip. 'Could you maybe find out more about Gina?'

Olivia looked at her. 'I will try.'

'Thank you.' Terry said as she turned away from Olivia not wanting to let the detective see more than she already had.

Olivia had to search for a while until she found her wayward partner. She looked at ease as she talked to some of the nurses, but Olivia could see the underlying tension in her body. 'Hey there Houdini.'

Chase looked up and grinned at Olivia. 'Well hi there partner I was just chatting with Betty here and she was telling me about how the management of the hospital has been telling them all sorts of things.'

Nurse Betty suddenly looked a lot more uncomfortable. 'Please don't tell them you heard that from me. I could loose my job.'

Chase smiled winningly at her and winked at Betty. 'Oh we won't mention you, I promise.'

Betty sighed relieved. 'Thank you, I...I better get going.' She hesitated a second. 'Will you be around later?'

Chase smiled at her charmingly. 'Unfortunately not, but I am sure I'll see you around Betty.'

Betty looked a little crestfallen but had to go.

Olivia gaped at Chase. 'You are completely shameless! Flirting with her for information?'

Chase shrugged then grinned at Olivia. 'Well the other nurses were a little reluctant to talk to a cop. Give me some information on Gina sure, but the rest...not so much.' Chase tapped the side of her thigh. What she had learned had her even more pissed off. 'They told the nurses and doctors that they were not to tell Fitch anything about her partner and if they did they would be fired.'

Olivia frowned. 'Why the hell would they do that?'

'Oh that's not all they did. 'They tried to tell the staff that this was a case of domestic violence between two dykes, is the word I think they used. Luckily for us one of the doctors and Betty over there didn't hold to their orders and did the rape kit on Gina which they handed to the police as soon as they could.' Chase was still taping her thigh, things were simply not adding up. 'We need Cabot.'

'I think that would be a very good idea.' Olivia agreed. This was starting to get out of control.'

Alex looked at Olivia and Chase thinking about their next move. 'They are committing so many different infractions I really don't know where to start.'

'I would start with having Terry getting all the information that she deserves and is entitled too.' Chase quietly said.

Alex nodded her eyes burning with anger. 'Oh I intend to do a lot more than that. The fact that they thought they could get away with this is just unbelievable to me.' Alex had the paperwork she needed already typed up. 'Care to join me when I go neuter those pricks?'

'Like you could keep us away.' Olivia said angrily.

Alex nodded having expected the answer. 'Well then let me go find a judge then we will be on our way.'

"Hey everyone thanks for all the well wishes I really appreciated it, I feel a lot better. Now I am sorry for the mistakes n this chapter but I just didnt have the energy last night, sorry. Don't forget to review! She gets kisses again for every review, make it a really good one and I might spice it up ;P"
