Loving the reviews guys, thank you for them really, I enjoy reading them all. On with the story, enjoy and as always leave a review.
Chapter 28: The Truth
Liz, Trevor and Miranda stood there watching the video, Liz sighed, "Bring Pam down here now," she said angrily, "And call Elliot and tell him to get down here too," She added before walking into Cragen's office.
Cragen walked right behind her before closing the door. He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her, knowing that she was beyond frustrated at the moment. "Talk to me sweetheart."
Liz pulled back taking a deep breath before looking into his eyes, "Why can't she be happy," Liz started off shacking her head, "I...She deserves to be happy...this should be the best moments right now, the only thing she should be worrying about is what color to paint the babies room or what to name them, not worrying about wether or not her husband is going to jail for something that he didn't do."
Cragen pulled her into an embrace rubbing her back, "Trust me sweetheart I want Olivia to be happy too, every parent want's their child to be happy, and she will be. I think all of this is going to make her stronger and not take for granted the things that she has and will have. Everything will be ok," Cragen said, kissing Liz gently on the lips.
Liz gave him a small smile, "You always know what to say, I love you," Liz said.
"Love you too sweetheart," Cragen said as someone knock on the door. Cragen gave Liz one last kiss before opening the door to let Trevor and Miranda come in with Melinda right behind them. "What's going on?"
Melinda held up an folder, "I ran the DNA that they found and took a closer look at the hair that was found. I also ran the the rape kit again and this is what I found," Melinda said handing the folder to Liz.
Liz opened the folder and read what was in it. After reading it she looked up at Melinda as she handed the folder to Cragen, "Don't mean to question you, but how positive are you about this," Liz said.
Melinda nodded, "Very, ran it five times to make sure." Melinda said.
Elliot and Olivia walked into the squad room hand in hand, "Hey Fin what's going on?" Elliot asked walking up to him.
"Hey guys, good to see you man. Follow me, there's something we want you to see." Fin said leading them to an interview room. Fin closed the door before taking a seat in front of them. He opened a laptop, "We found surveillance video of the supermarket that you visited, the day that Pam accused you of raping her."
Elliot nodded, "So you guys have proof that I didn't do it," Elliot said ready to have this all over with.
"There just something that we need you to clarify for us," Fin said seeing Elliot narrow his at him. Fin pressed play and turned the laptop towards Elliot.
Elliot leaned forward and watched the video, after it was finished he looked up at Fin, "What is there to explain," Elliot asked somewhat confused.
Fin glanced at Olivia who still had her eyes on the laptop, "What were you two talking about, and why was she all over you?" Fin asked
Elliot sighed, "I came out of the store, as I was putting my bag into the car I heard something fall, I looked over and saw that she had dropped her bag. I went over there to help her, when I was finish she thanked me, but she walked closer to me, I stepped back, she continued to get closer and she begin to run her hand through my hair..." Elliot paused as it started to all make sense to him, "I gently pushed her away and told her that I was married, she said well you have one lucky wife and preceded to run her hand in my hair again. I finally just said bye and walked away and came back here before Olivia murdered me for not bringing her food." Elliot chuckled as he glanced at Olivia who giggled.
Fin nodded, "We think that's how they found your hair in the rape kit, she put it there."
Olivia shook her head, "Why would she falsely accuse Elliot of raping her when he didn't," Olivia asked
"Was she even raped," Elliot asked.
Fin held up his hands stopping them, "We don't know if she was or wasn't but the rape kit does show she has some trauma, but that could of came from rough sex though."
"There's something else though isn't it," Olivia said grabbing Elliot's hand.
Fin nodded, "Melinda ran the rape kit again and found a second DNA match."
Liz, Nick, and Amanda walked into the interrogation room where Pam sat, "What am I doing here?" She asked clearly nervous.
Amanda and Liz sat down in front of her, "We brought you here to find out the truth," Liz said glaring at Pam, the woman who was destroying two lives.
Pam shook her head "I don't know what you're talking about."
Liz laughed, "I think you do, we found holes all in your story about how you were rape."
Pam let out a small laugh, "You guys don't believe me, I was raped by that detective. This is why women don't report rapes because you don't believe us."
Amanda shook her head, "We take all rape accusations seriously,"
Pam laughed again, "Really because it doesn't seem like your taking it seriously, what because he's a cop he's not capable of raping someone."
"That's not it," Nick said, "We have reason to believe that this detective didn't rape you."
"What reasons," Pam nearly yelled.
Liz leaned forward, "A couple, for one, your statement that you gave to the detectives sounded rehearsed," Liz held up her hand to stop Pam from saying something, "You told us that he had a tattoo on his left arm, when it's on the right." Liz watched her for a second before continuing, "The medical examiner ran your rape kit again and found a second DNA sample."
"I had sex earlier, I didn't think I had to tell you that and I mixed up my right from my left big deal." Pam said sounding even more nervousness.
"The hair that the nurse found was not pubic, but hair that comes from the head. Now it's possible but it would be hard for that type of hair to land in your panties," Nick said.
"I'm going to allow you to tell us the truth one last time, and before you decide to continue to stick to your story I should let you know that we have the surveillance tapes from the supermarket that you claim to be raped at." Liz said wanting answers.
Pam looked down at her hands, "I want a lawyer," Pam said.
Liz sighed angrily, "Once your lawyer gets here all bets are off, I'll be taking you to trail."
Pam eyes widen, "Trail, for what?"
"Perjury, you lied under oath at the grand jury, reporting a false rape, falsely accusing someone of a crime that they didn't do-"
"Fine," Pam said holding her hands up cutting Liz off, "What do you want?"
"Why did you accuse detective Stabler of rape when all he did was give you a helping hand." Liz demanded.
"I owed him a favor, he arrested me a year ago, I beg for a second chance and he did, but he said I owed him one." Pam said as tears fell down her face.
"So he called you," Amanda said telling her to go on.
Pam nodded, "Yeah, he said he wanted to use that favor that I owed him. I told him no that I had changed and was living a better life. He laughed and said I had no choice, that I could still go to prison. I didn't want to go there. So I asked what he wanted, he told me meet him in the store parking lot. When I got into the car he..." Pam paused and took a deep breath, "He was rough but I just ignored it. When we were finished he said he wanted me to accuse this cop of rape, that I needed some type of DNA from him to prove it."
"And you agreed," Nick said.
Pam shook her head, "I said no that I couldn't do that, I told him I already paid him back by having sex with him. He just laughed and said he needed it to look real that was why he was really rough with me. He threaten to kill me, so I agreed. When I saw Detective Stabler leave the store I dropped my bag on purpose. When he came over I started to flirt with him and run my hand through his hair to get some to plant. He called half hour later to see if I followed through, then he told me what to say when I told the cops." Pam said wiping the tears from her face.
Liz nodded, she started to feel bad for the woman, "We need you tell us who told you to accuse Detective Stabler of rape." Liz said needing to hear it from her.
Pam took a deep breath, "Agent Dean Porter."
