#$%^&^%$#
Olivia, Fin and Elliot were given rides back to the boot camp. It was 11 30 at night by the time the cops got done with them.
Olivia wasn't given the chance to speak to Elliot at all.
The cops had gotten into contact with their other superior officers at the camp. The only one that had shown up at the scene was Pruitt's dad. That made Olivia suspicious. How was it that only one of their numerous superiors know about the attack that quickly?
Olivia didn't know that Elliot was thinking the same thing. He was hoping they would get some alone time soon to talk it all out.
All Olivia could think about was sleep. She hadn't slept in well over 24 hours, and she didn't care about much else right now. She wasn't sure what the next day would bring for her.
She walked into the barracks to see most of the recruits already asleep. The camp allowed her, Fin and Elliot to enter late because of the circumstances.
"Olivia," she heard a girl whisper. She turned to see Alyssa. "What happened?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you tomorrow," Olivia said as she changed for bed, not caring that she was in front of other girls. She also wasn't sure how much of the story she could tell to the other girls. It might bias any investigation that was carried out.
"Okay. Night."
"Goodnight," Olivia said as she laid down. She felt herself quickly succumb to sleep.
"No! GET OFF OF ME!," she yelled. She was pinned down to the ground. She felt him rip her shorts away from her body. She felt him touching her everywhere.
"NOOO! Please no!," she yelled as he ripped her underwear away. Before she could say anything else he kissed her as he entered her with one harsh thrust.
"EVERYONE UP!," Lieutenant Bryan yelled. Olivia was pulled from her nightmare as she stood at attention at the end of her bed, near tears. That's what could have happened to her. She recalled her nightmare as they took roll call.
This can't be happening. Olivia thought as she made her way across to the mess hall. She had to talk to Elliot.
Elliot could see her face and knew something was wrong. He didn't sleep very well, but it was more than he was expecting to get. He could see the fear across her face, and that she was trying to hide it.
No one needed to think they were apart anymore. She saw him rushing towards her and she welcomed his hug.
She held in the waterworks as she realized more people were watching. He looked at her and kissed her, letting out the last day's frustrations.
Their fellow recruits watched on in admiration. They felt all the love they had poured out for each other.
They stopped kissing as he hugged her again. They made their way to the cafeteria where Elliot watched as Olivia picked at her food.
"Recruit Benson," Lieutenant Bryan came up to her as he said her name. "Under the circumstances, you need to take the day off and rest in the barracks. It will not mess up your attendance or anything. Also, my boss wants to see you at 0700 in the main building."
"But-"
"No arguing Benson. It's for your own good. Also, Stabler, they want you and Tutuola to see a shrink today as well." He walked away before either of them had any other chance to argue.
Olivia was terrified now. Were they going to tell her she couldn't finish training because of what had happened?
"Liv, you need to eat," Elliot said as he watched her face change.
"No. I don't want to. Did you just hear him? I need to go see 'the boss!,'" she said in a harsh whisper. She didn't want to stop training because of this.
"Liv... it's gonna be okay," he reassured her. He wasn't sure if it would be, but he had to make her feel safe.
"El.. I have to tell you something..."
"What is it?," he asked urgently.
"Before roll call this morning, I was...having a nightmare, about last night... Except he was raping me, and I couldn't stop it...," Olivia said as the tears were threatening to fall again.
"But he didn't Liv. Okay? You're going to be fine. You're strong." She felt his warm embrace around her and knew she was safe.
After breakfast Olivia made her way over to the main building, the same one her and Elliot had checked in through 3 days earlier, where she met Pruitt.
She saw the head of the camp standing at the entrance waiting for her. He was about 6 foot tall, with brown short hair and blue eyes. He was standing in uniform.
"Recruit Benson, I'm Walter Cragen, better known as Captain Cragen around here." He held out his hand.
"Hi, Sir." She shook his hand fearfully.
"Why don't we go inside to my office where we can talk?," he said as he made his way up the few stairs leading into the building.
Once inside he gestured for Olivia to sit as he did across the desk.
"So, we needed your official statement about what happened last night. The police have theirs, but we need to be sure before we proceed with an investigation."
"If you need to know who did it, it's Officer Pruitt. I know it was, and you've got 2 witnesses. What's the big deal about this?," Olivia said defensively.
"I know that this is hard. But I need you to go through this again with me," he coaxed.
Olivia thought this was a bunch of bull. She knew it was because this guy was a cop.
"Well.. Officer Pruitt came up to me at the club. He asked if we could step outside so he could ask me something. We went out near his car and he said that I seemed distracted. I knew I was because my boyfriend and I had just broken up the day before. Then I asked if that was the reason he had asked me to go out there with him. He said he wanted to be my distraction... Then he tried kissing me. I said no and pushed him off of me. He lifted me up and threw me into the bushes near his car. As I was trying to get away... he got on top of me and trapped my hands. I couldn't do anything. I tried to fight. He said 'Don't act like you don't want it,' and I was screaming. He kissed me as I screamed, and next thing I know he's off of me, and when I looked over I saw Fin on top of him."
"Okay. And you're sure it was Officer Pruitt?"
"YES. I'm very sure because we had seen each other in the past few days during boot camp. I mean that as in he came up to me numerous times and we talked. You don't believe me because he's a cop right?"
"No... We just need to be sure. It's just a big pile we're stepping into saying this. I believe you Olivia. I know that you've been doing excellent in training. I know you already heard we want you to take the day off. I also want you to see the shrink we provide here. She's there until 6 tonight, so whenever you get around to it today. I know you probably don't want to, but it's for your own safety."
Olivia wasn't going to argue. She wanted to get all of this overwith so she could get back to training and move on with her life.
"Yeah, okay." Olivia paused. "Sir, can I ask you something?"
"Yes, what is it?"
"What's going to happen to Pruitt? I know his dad's a superior officer here as well. So, I wanted to know if everything would be taken care of," Olivia asked, knowing damn well that the cops had a reputation for covering each other's asses.
"I can assure you that we are going to be taking care of this. If someone's a rapist, then they will get arrested, regardless of who they are or where they come from."
Olivia gave a weak smile, she could tell he was being genuine and she wanted this taken care of for herself and Lauren.
"Where is he? I noticed him and his father both left the scene rather quickly. Shouldn't he have been arrested sir?"
"This is the first I've heard of this... I will make a few calls and figure it out as fast as I can. I will call you in as soon as I know anything."
"Okay. Is that all for now?"
"Yes Olivia. You can go now," he said.
"Thanks," she said as she got up to leave the room.
"It's my job," he said. He smiled at her as she left.
He was on the phone as soon as she was out of the room.
Olivia quickly went to get the car keys. She had to tell Lauren that everything was going to get taken care of. Olivia was still doubtful, but Cragen seemed determined to get this guy.
!#$%^&^%$#
Olivia arrived at the hospital. She found Lauren in the same room she had been in the couple of days before that Olivia visited her.
"Hey Lauren," Olivia said as she approached the bed.
Lauren smiled at her once she saw who it was. "Hey Olivia! How have you been?"
"I've been good...I have something to tell you..."
Lauren looked at her, a bit puzzled. "You know that plan I told you about?"
"Yeah, is everything okay?," Lauren said worried about her friend.
"Yeah...actually more than fine. We did it last night. I needed to tell you that we caught him..." Olivia gave a small smile as Lauren's eyes filled with tears.
"So he's arrested?"
"Not exactly. You see, his dad came and left the scene. Captain Cragen called me in this morning. I told him, and he had no idea. He's going to make calls and everything. I promise you that we'll get him, though."
"He's still out there? You're okay right?," Lauren asked.
"Yes I'm fine. And he's still out there, but I doubt he's coming back around here voluntarily, so you have nothing to worry about. Okay?"
Lauren grabbed Olivia's hand and gave a defeated smile. Olivia noticed the swelling in her whole body had gone down, and she could see the vibrant face that she met the first day of camp.
"I promise you Lauren, I will get him..."
"I know you will Olivia. So are they letting you stay at the camp?"
"Yeah for now. Speaking of, I have to go. They want me to talk to the shrink there," Olivia rolled her eyes.
"It helps Olivia, trust me. It may not seem like you need it, I didn't think so either, until yesterday... I thought one of the male nurses was him. I almost hit him when he came near me. They brought someone in to talk to me. It was only a little bit, but I felt much better."
"So you're doing good then?"
"Yes, much better than I was at least," Lauren said, looking at her hands. "Olivia...would it affect anything if I decided to tell someone who did it?"
"I don't know...What did you tell police?," Olivia asked, kind of thankful that Lauren was coming forward.
"I told them that I thought I knew who did it, but didn't give them a name..."
"I really don't know, but if you tell them, they can't do anything to you if that's what you're asking," Olivia told her.
"Okay... that's good. So I'll see you later then?," she asked Olivia hopefully.
"Of course! I'll be back when I can." She smiled and hugged Lauren before she left. Olivia wasn't sure about getting help, but maybe she would give it a try.
!#$%^&^%$#
Olivia felt her stomach tightening as she walked towards the health clinic. She read the room numbers and quickly found the one she was looking for.
She read the plaque on the door. Dr. Pevlov. She opened the door.
"Hi. Olivia Benson?," the young female said.
"Yes that's me...," Olivia smiled weakly. The doctor greeted her and shook her hand before sitting down.
"The officers told me what happened, but nothing really about you, so why don't we start with that," she smiled. She had on glasses, and long auburn hair. She was petite, about 5 foot 5 from what Olivia could tell.
Olivia was taken aback by her question. She rarely ever opened up to anyone. "Is any of what I tell you going to leave this room?," Olivia asked, not wanting her feelings and thoughts to be spread out across camp. She also didn't want people seeing her differently or as a victim.
"Not unless I feel that it will harm you or others, everything else falls under privelege."
"Where do you want me to start?," Olivia asked, knowing her story wasn't very simple.
"Wherever you feel comfortable. How about anything in your childhood?"
Olivia flinched at that thought. This was her first meeting ever with a shrink and she was supposed to just open up about her childhood.
"Does something about that bother you?," Dr. Pevlov asked.
"What do you care?," Olivia snapped. Then she caught herself. "I'm sorry... it's just I don't like to talk about it that often." She saw her scribbling in her notebook, reaffirming why she didn't want to talk about it. She didn't want someone taking notes on what she was feeling and what she was going through now even.
"That's fine. We can move on if you like. Are you okay with just talking about what happened last night?"
Olivia sighed, knowing it was a load and a half to talk about.
"Sure, why not?," Olivia said sarcastically. She assumed that Dr. Pevlov already had a file containing the information anyways.
"Why don't you start with how Officer Pruitt and you met?"
"We met 3 days ago, when me and Elliot checked into boot camp. He was trying to flirt with me, and Elliot and I both noticed. He eyed me up and down like I was some piece of meat or something. Then as I was walking away I could feel him watching me. It was angering to me and Elliot that he could look at someone like that," Olivia explained.
"Okay. Why didn't you say something to him then?"
"Because if it came up again, then I would have said something. It's not the first time a guy has looked at me like that."
"So it's not unusual?," Dr. Pevlov asked.
"No. Don't guys look at you like that, especially young horny ones?," Olivia laughed, earning a soft smile from the doctor.
"So, you're saying you don't ever think of it as a threat of some kind? Just how guys are?"
"Exactly. Don't get me wrong, I've said things to a few of them when they continue doing it, but usually if Elliot's with me he does it for me," Olivia smiled at all the memories of Elliot making sure people knew she was his.
"And Elliot is your boyfriend, correct?"
"Yes. We've been together for almost 10 months." Olivia continued smiling. It was her longest and deepest relationship emotionally that she had had with anyone.
"So back to Pruitt, what happened before last night?"
"He approached me a few different times before last night. Twice yesterday. The day before when I was gun training he came up behind me, and he told me my stance was really good. It didn't alarm me in any way really. Then about yesterday, once after lunch he approached me and told me that I had forgotten my necklace in the mess hall, and he gave it to me. Then after training he told me I seemed distracted. And... he knew where I was going to be last night."
"How?"
"Because I told him after explaining I wouldn't be distracted after a night out with the girls. He knew of the club. I didn't think anything of it though," Olivia said, not disclosing any information about the plan they had.
"Okay. Then what happened?"
"Well, I went out with the girls, and after about 20 minutes of dancing I was tired, so I took a break. that's when Officer Pruitt approached me. He asked me to go outside with him. I did. Once out by the car, he tried kissing me, I said no. Then he threw me down and before I could get away, he was on top of me. I screamed and fought and then he kissed me... Before I knew it Fin had tackled him and the cops had showed up," Olivia said, not realizing she was holding her own hands rather tightly.
The doctor noted this. "Olivia, do you think this will affect your performace here at the camp?"
"I don't think so,"Olivia scoffed a bit.
"You were sexually assaulted, and it's not something to take lightly," the doctor told her.
"I know that... what about nightmares?," Olivia asked, wanting to cover that before she left for the day.
The doctor saw Olivia's thoughts racing on her face. "Those are very normal. Have you had them already?"
Olivia sighed heavily. Then started talking, not making eye contact with the doctor. "Last night... I had one, except... he raped me, and I couldn't stop it," Olivia said, tears showing in her eyes.
"Olivia, that is your brain's way of telling you that something traumatic happened, and then it manifested into more than what happened. That's your fear of what almost happened to you."
"So it's okay?"
"Yes, but they shouldn't continue, not if you keep seeing me or someone else to talk to."
Olivia looked at her. "You mean I have to keep seeing you?"
"The officers would like you to, if you want to continue here at camp that is. That's what they told me to tell you."
"So they're threatening me between camp and seeing a shrink or getting kicked out? What the hell is that?," Olivia said, now feeling annoyed and pissed off.
"They want you here. They take this very seriously and know what can happen to someone if they don't get help," Dr. Pevlov explained to her.
Olivia didn't say anything else. She looked at the clock, and realized it had been an hour. She got up and left the office, off to find Elliot.
