Author Note: Yes, I know there seems to be confusion about the relationship between Donald and Alyssa. She has a straight dislike for him, and he wavers between giving in to wanting to hate her, and still loving her because she is his daughter! THE EMOTIONS! WAI~!

I also fixed the spelling errors in the last chapter for those of you who caught them-EEP!

Anyways, it's her first day at SVU!...dun dun dun!

"I'll call when I get out...Thank you so much...yeah... bye." Alyssa turned off her cell phone just as the taxi pulled up in front of the building. She got out and pulled out the twenty dollars for the cabbie. "Keep the change." She decided there had to be an easier way to get to and from work. Normally Adam would pick her up and bring her home. But it didn't seem she could get any one of her new partners to do that for her...that meant letting them know where she lived...and other little secrets. She pulled her shoulder bag over her shoulder and made her way up the stairs. When she reached the door to the Special Victims Unit squad room she calmly opened it. She decided to wear something a little more professional today. She put her hair down, which was surprisingly long, down to the small of her back. Her attire consisted of black slacks and a dark blue button-up shirt, short sleeved. The bracelet she wore the day before hang loosely around her wrist, and for the first time, everyone could see the silver cross she wore around her neck.
"Good morning." She mused as she made her way through the office. Everyone was leaning on their desks as she walked in. It was like slow motion, something in a movie, when they all stopped their conversation and looked at her. "What?" She asked. "Am I late?" Her head turned to look at the clock that hung sadly on the wall. It read 8:00. Then she turned back to her new co-workers.
"You come in here, acting like nothing happened yesterday?" Elliot asked sinking deeper into his chair.
Alyssa smiled outwardly and nodded. "I'm sorry for yesterday. It had been a long day, after loosing a perp, your partner is dying, and then my boss announces that I'm a danger to my own squad, and have no disciple." Taking in a deep breathe she continued. "I promise I won't be that much of a problem...anymore."
"What about when Donald's around?" Olivia asked.
She seemed slightly taken back by this question, but tried to answer it the best she could. "Donald and I haven't spoken to each other for five years, nor seen each other. But what happened between Donald and I, is our business."
"Why don't we change the subject out here?" Everyone looked over and saw Donald walking out of his office holding a file. "Ok, everyone, just a short meeting before I give out the dailies. You have all meet I assume, Alyssa Cragen. She is now part of our squad. I have placed her with John and Fin."
"Why do you hate me so much?" John asked.
Donald just gave him a look of lack of amusement then continued. "Ok, looks like there was a murder up on the east-side, seems a kid saw the whole ordeal and lived to talk about it. Elliot, Olivia you go to the scene. John and Fin you go down to the medical examiners."
"What about me?" Alyssa asked. Her voice seemed quieter then it was only a few minutes ago.
"I'm sorry, this will take some getting use too, you go with John and Fin." She nodded. Quickly she dropped her bag off on her chair, her box was on top of her desk. Sooner or later she'd get around to taking the stuff out of it...or she wouldn't.
"I'm driving." Fin said taking the keys from John who willingly gave them up. Alyssa followed behind them quietly.

"Is the kid still here?" Olivia asked the young cop she was talking to as she walked around the crime scene.
"Yeah, he's in another room."
"Why didn't you take him down to our station after you took the body away?" Elliot wasn't in a good mood. This was a murder and there was no dead body here.
Olivia ignored Elliot for a moment and continued asking her questions, "Why did you call us for this?"
"Because," The young cop said. "The medical examiner took the body away, but she did say that there were fluids on him."
"And the kid saw this all happen." The cop nodded his head at Olivia's words. "Man..."
"You're not kidding..."
Elliot broke off and started walking towards the back room. Inside a small bedroom was a little boy, a little older then five sitting on his bed along with another male cop who was looking at comics with him. Elliot leaned down at his knees in front of the boy.
"This is Elliot Stabler he'll take care of you right now." The cop stood up and walked out. The boy looked at Elliot and started moving his feet nervously.
"What's your name?" Elliot asked.
"Connor..."
"Hi Connor, I'm Elliot, and I'm gonna help you."
"Where's my dad?"
This was part of the job that he never liked to do. "Let's go back to where I work, and we'll talk there." Connor lifted his arms into the air as a universal signal to everyone as "Pick me up!" Elliot took Connor in his arms and walked out of the room just as Olivia was finishing up with CSU.
"Yeah, get back to us ASAP."
"Liv, let's go."

"That was Elliot, he said that you found fluids on our body? Do you have a match for us, oh wise and power doc!" John asked in his flippant tone as they walked into the medical examiner's room.
"Yes, and no." the doctor said looking through her paper work. (I forgot the doctor's name) "It seems that out of the 64 chromosomes, it shares 32 of them."
"So family member." Fin stated.
"Yes, so we need DNA from every family member in this guy's family that lives in New York."
"Whoever did this, wanted to really hurt this guy..." Everyone looked over to Alyssa who was standing next to the dead body and looking at the deep puncture wounds on the man's chest. "There seems to be no remorse, all the wounds are deep, jagged. The person we're looking for hated this man. Family or not."
"You have a good eye..." The doctor said walking up to her.
Alyssa shrugged and covered the body back up. "When I was little I would go through Donald's files when he was on homicide. He would write notes on the files about different types of wounds. These look just like one that the man's wife stabbed him repeatedly, she hated her husband. Battered wife syndrome." She turned to Fin and Munch who were just staring at her. "But if the murder shares the same 32 chromes, then it can't be a wife. So who do you suggest we look for?"
"Either a sister, mother, daughter." The doctor handed Alyssa the file. "The fluids are obviously female."
"You know, that doesn't surprise me." John said looking over Alyssa's shoulder as she looked through the report.
"I'd call you a women hater if it wasn't for the fact that I agree."
"And I'd agree to be calling a women hater, but you didn't call me that." Alyssa closed the folder and turned to face John and she smiled.
"I think you two will get along just fine..." Fin rolled his eyes and grabbed the file from Alyssa and walked out. He turned his head back to the two of them who were still giving each other daggers and let out a loud breath. "Are you two coming?! I want to get back to the station before the next century!"
