[b][i]Rating:[/i][/b] PG-13 (Some violence)
[b][i]Paring:[/i][/b] None [b][i]Author:[/i][/b] Walt [b][i]Disclaimers:[/i][/b] See Part One. Casey's has been rejected by a man she was falling for, and was then attacked by a woman who blames Casey for the death of her son.
At SVU Headquarters, about a half-hour after Casey was attacked, Eleanor and Elliott were in the interrogation room while Don Cragen was outside with Olivia and Casey also watching. Also there was Jack McCoy since Casey was the victim.
"That bitch killed my son!!", Eleanor repated several times in a very loud voice.
Having had enough of Eleanor's saying that, Elliot would say to her, "Ms. Novak didn't kill your son. It was your hatred for the Arabs and lies about his father being killed in the Gulf War that you drilled into him because your husband left you for someone he fell for that eventually did it, after he killed those women and then another man in prison."
"What are they talking about?", Jack would ask, with Don then explaining: "Sean Webster had been jailed for killing two Arab women and then killed an Arab man in prison because he blamed the Arabs for his father's death. It was while he was in prison, however, that we found out Ms. Webster had been lying to Sean for years because his father had actually fallen for and eventually married an Arab woman he met while on duty during the Gulf War in '91, and his father did come to see him before he was killed."
"That's exactly what happened", Casey said to Jack before pausing for amoment and then saying to Jack "Makes being dumped earlier in the evening seem so much better."
Jack then asked, "What do you mean?", with Casey explaining why she was on the phone with Olivia when this happened and Olivia subsequently noting such.
Don then said, "Talk about bad to worse" as Eleanor's attorney Oliver Gates (who had been Sean's attorney in the earlier trial) showed up as both women then walked away, over to an area where Casey could collect her thoughts.
Oliver was very surprised to see Jack, asking "What are you doing here, McCoy?, with Jack replying, "I'm here since your client attacked Ms. Novak, and my assistant, who'd normally handle this is on the other coast." Jack referred to Serena Southerlyn, who also happened to be one of Casey's best friends and was en route to Los Angeles on a planned vacation with her boyfriend (Casey had told Serena she was OK and not to worry when they spoke by cell phone before the interrogation began).
Before walking into the interrogation room to talk to his client, Oliver would say, "Well, you may be dealing with an insanity defense if we go to trial, Jack."
Elliott would ask Don and Jack, "Think he'll knock some sense into her?", before Gates knocked on the glass, signaling for Jack to come in.
Jack asked Oliver "Has your client come to her senses?", upon walking into the room, with Oliver responding, "My client wants to go to trial, as she wants her day in court to tell her side of the story."
Jack responded back, "And her side of the story will be countered with all the lies she told her son about her father being dead that led to his killing three people before he was killed in prison."
"C'mon, Jack.", said Oliver.
Jack responded by saying, "I mean it. Your client was in many ways responsible for her son's death because she kept telling him lies about his father that caused him to kill who he did."
"You have no idea how hard it was for me!!", Eleanor shouted right after Jack finished. With Oliver having no luck trying to control his client, Eleanor then continued by screaming, "My ex-husband ruined my life when he left me for that whore!! Those women deserved to die, and so does Ms. Novak!! I don't care if you lock me up forever, Casey Novak should be executed for killing my son!!, leaving a very shocked expression on Oliver.
While Jack and Oliver continued talking in the interrogation room, elsewhere in the SVU Headquarters, Casey was being consoled by Olivia over everything that happened, doing so over a pizza as Casey had not eaten all night to that point.
"Just unbelievable. To be first dumped and then be attacked by a lunatic in the same night? I know she had her husband leave her for another woman, but I've dated men much worse than her ex-husband.", said Casey to Olivia.
"So have I. Their marriage probably was in trouble before he left to go to Iraq in '91 if I had to guess. She must have had signs of what happened even then.", replied Olivia as Don, Elliott and Jack walked over to where the women were.
"You're not going to believe this, Casey. Eleanor said she's going to plead Guilty to Attempted Murder, and nothing Gates could do would stop her", Don would say with Jack next to him.
Casey asked Don, "She came to her senses?",
Don replied, "Don't think so, It was more like she didn't care if she rotted in jail, since in her mind she got some 'revenge' for Sean's death",
Casey replied back, "Doesn't surprise me. In all honesty, I should have realized at some point she'd snap and try to go after me in some way. I just never thought she'd actually try to kill me."
Olivia then reassured Casey by saying, "And you'd be right not to think that. When Mark Nash killed himself, the worst Alex ever had to deal with his mother giving her a profanity-laced tirade, though she did want Alex tried for 'murdering' Mark."
"Why was that?", asked Casey, with Olivia replying, "After she got a court order that forced Mark to take drugs that made him lucid so he could put the real killer of a woman behind bars, he was so depressed because he could not hear 'voices' in his head that it caused him to take his own life."
Jack then said, "I remember that very well. When Alex got hit with that tirade by Mrs. Nash, she was extremely upset, and Charlie Phillips and I had to go running down the stairs to try and catch her. She was so upset, and understandbly so she ran faster than any of us had seen. Thankfully, Abbie Carmichael, who was my assistant at the time and one of her best friends along with Olivia were able to calm her down after she had gone off walking by herself for a couple of hours."
Olivia then would say to Casey, "She was very lucky to have Abbie as a best friend. They truly were like sisters that looked out for each other. Otherwise, Don and I probably would have to have to do a lot more of making sure Alex was OK than we had to over the time she was the ADA of this unit."
Casey would then reply, "That had to have been rough on Alex, but at least Mrs. Nash didn't try to kill her. Eleanor Webster obviously has much more serious mental problems than that."
Jack then said, "Yes, and I'm going to make sure she gets at least some mental evaluation while behind bars."
"Good. Maybe someone will straighten her out and make her realize she is responsible for killing her son with all that hate that had him kill those women before he was killed in prison", then said Elliott.
Casey then agreed with Eliott before saying to the group, "Think we should call it a night?"
Don would say, "Sure, but are you going to be OK?"
Casey replied, "I'll be eventually. I'll be at Olivia's tonight if you need to get in touch with me. I didn't want to be alone, and she was nice enough to offer."
"Just like when Alex had her breakup with Trevor and Abbie was down in Washington on a big case a year ago.", then said Olivia before pausing for a moment and then continuing, "It's more because of what happened before Ms. Webster attacked her than her doing that" as the women got up, or in Casey's case tried to.
"Ouch!", yelled Casey, in quite a bit of pain as she tried to get up before sitting down, and saying, "I need to take my boots off first", then doing so before Olivia helped her up and helped her walk at first, her legs being stiff after sitting around for a while following a lot of walking earlier that day and night.
Three days later at Hogan Place, Olivia was absolutely shocked to see the light in Casey's office as she was on her way to see Jack on a matter from when she and Elliott worked with Lennie Briscoe and Ed Green on the case of Stephanie Mulroney nearly five years earlier.
A surprised Olivia would ask Casey, "What are you doing here?", as she walked into her office, then saying "I'm shocked to see you here."
Casey would reply, "I needed to get some paperwork done, and I figured the best therapy for what happened was to get back up after resting most of the weekend. Jack and Arthur were shocked I didn't choose to take any time off. You and the others were right, Eleanor Webster was the exception and not the rule, and I can't let her do so."
Olivia would reply, "Good. She's going to be in Bellvue for quite a while, and then has to serve time at Bedford. I think she'll realize over time she was responsible for Sean's death, not anything any of us did."
"Agreed", replied Casey.
Olivia would then say to Casey. "You seem to be a lot more resiliant than anyone I know, except maybe Alex.
"Thank you", replied Casey.
Olivia then said, "I meant to say the other night that as much as my mother was an alcholoic, she never resented me for being the child of a rape, as to her that was the one good thing that came out of an otherwise horrible situation."
Casey would then reply, "Guess that's why you probably are able to handle these cases as you do. Thanks again for letting me stay over the other night. I really didn't want to be alone after what happened, especially with Serena so far away and my already dealing with being dumped as I was earlier."
Olivia then replied back, "You're welcome. That's what friends are for, especially those who really do believe in what they do. I better go as Jack does need to see me", then leaving Casey to take care of what she actually came down to go over.
