1-6 SVU 30 Years Later
"Alex please don't worry. We'll make sure she's alright" "Yeah Maureen don't worry, my daughter may have been raped and you tell me not to worry." "Alex I have to go but I know she'll be alright." "How can you know?" "'Cause at one point my dad was right where you were." At that Maureen Stabler, veteran of SVU walked out to help another victim, her partner's daughter.
Detective Alex Green's House Jennifer we need to talk to Susan." Maureen said as soon as the door was open.
"Why and where is Alex?"
"Look Jennifer, we know that the dance your daughter went past the line. We need to talk to her to find out what she might have seen."
"You can try she's locked herself in her room and won't talk to anyone." The two detectives knocked on the door of Susan's room.
"Go away" was the disembodied answer.
"Susan its Maureen can we talk."
"It's my fault now just leave."
"Please Susan we need to talk." "Just us," came a voice. Maureen glanced at Detective Evans, her temporary partner on the case, who nodded. "Just us now let me in." The door slowly creaked open and revealed a disheveled teen. She was still damp from the shower. Her bathrobe was tied so tightly it looked as if it might be cutting of circulation. They both sat down on the bed. "I know what happened at the school." Maureen said trying to sound calm. "I need you to tell me what happened so we can put this guy away and make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else." "I'm scared. Dads going to be so mad at me."
"Honey all your dad wants is to make sure your safe. "I broke the rules it's my fault. We started to drink to fit in with the party. I woke up in the middle of it. I kneed him in the groin. I ran. I just got a glimpse of Rebecca lying there." Susan started sobbing. "It's not your fault he did this to you and we'll get him. Now can you tell me if you saw anything that might help us find him?" Maureen said.
"He's a student. He had to be to get into the dance and um white I'm pretty sure he was white. Other than that I'm sorry I was to drunk to see him."
"Do you still have your clothes from last night?" Susan nodded and pulled a brown paper bag from under the bed.
"Alright now I'm going to take you to the hospital to have a rape kit done."
"It won't work. I already showered."
"I know but they'll test you for STD's and give you drugs to prevent a pregnancy."
"Thank you Maureen."
"Come on."
In the Car Maureen's POV I have seen many victims. I have helped so many. This one however rings bells with the night I will never forget. As I looked into Susan's eyes I saw my eyes staring back, haunting me from years ago. Now as I drive glancing into the review mirror, I catch her starring at me. I can tell she has chosen me to be her hero. I remember making that choice to years ago. That's the only reason I was there tonight. A lot of people, including my mother thought that the reason I chose the academy was my father. I don't tell her my true motivation. She always was jealous of my father and the time he spent with Olivia. I was glad he spent so much time with her. My hero and my father were partner's. She has been as much of an influence in my life as anyone. But no one can take away a mother's love. As much as I admire Olivia, my mother is my mother and I will always love her. However seeing Olivia's restraint, knowing she had, as the kids those day's put it, "the hot's" for my father, but she kept her distance earning not only a place as my hero but my respect as well. I can only pray that I'll be as good of an example for Susan.
