Ronnie was having a drink with her partners Dennis and Chris when they spot Benson, Stabler, and Fin stroll in.
"Oh no here comes the Sexual Vain Unit." Announced Dennis and Chris laughed
"Hey thought we'd have a drink with ya guys." Spoke Fin
Ronnie looked at Olivia then back to her partners who where now in conversation with Fin about the old narc days
"What are you doing here….I asked you to leave me alone."
Elliot bought them a round "where's the tapes Ronnie" he spoke quietly
Ronnie just stared at the bar
"Ronnie there is a section of the transcript missing……we need to hear it." Spoke Olivia
Ronnie just shook her head "I can't I'll lose my job" and cowered back into her drink
Olivia stood closer "Ronnie what's on those tapes might prove that Daryl beat and raped our victim."
Ronnie gritted her teeth feeling she was being back into a corner "They're not….no mention" she stammered
"So you've heard them." Persisted Elliot
Ronnie closed her eyes and shook no
Olivia put a hand on Ronnie's shoulder "we just need to listen to it. There probably isn't anything on it but we need to rule it out." She spoke quietly
"We can ask the ADA to force this" threatened Elliot
Ronnie put her drink down "Well thanks I have already stuck my neck out and now you want me to put it in a noose….screw you." Ronnie leaves the bar
Ronnie walked off down the street "Ronnie wait." Came a voice behind. Olivia caught up and Ronnie stepped back
"We can't do this without you." Pleaded Olivia
"I can't….if this gets back I'll be back in uniform." Whined Ronnie
"It won't….we just need to listen then I'll return them to you and you won't be dragged in I promise."
Ronnie closed her eyes
"Ronnie what are you afraid of." Olivia sensing Ronnie was fighting an internal battle
She moves closer to Ronnie "You're afraid of what might be on the tapes….who was on surveillance that night……you." She asked
"No….Dennis and Chris." Choked out Ronnie
"Ronnie."
"No Olivia I won't and if you push the ADA crap I will deny everything I've told you…..hear me." And storms off.
Olivia turned off her lamp after another day and puts her coat on to leave when a familiar face walked in.
"Ronnie….what's wrong…you look terrible."
Ronnie was pale, her face drained of emotion. Ronnie put her hand into her pocket and pulled out a tape. Tears soon fell and her voice hoarsely "We are suppose to protect the victims…some of us have forgotten who the victims really are…..I'm sorry." Then leaves
