The new york air was brisk and smelled of rian the weather had not been at all productive for the svu detectives Stabler and Benson. They both held piping hot cup's of coffee and curled into their coats as the they walked up to the lastest crime scene. Stabler sighed as he got close enuoph to see her sitting on the stoop of the apartment building beside the alley where she had been running, screaming from, when some one stopped her and called the cops. Her hiar was matted, her eyes dull and grey, her cloth's ripped and hanging from her body she gripped tightly for what little protection they gave.

"Why isn't she covered up in this weather she could catch her death."Elliot stabler waved for aEMT to bring a blanket, once he had this he approched the girl with coution and wraped it around her shuolders. She came right outof her trance as soon as it touched her arms and reared back, her eyes went wide as she looked around for who touched her untill her eyes came to rest on stablers smiling face.

"Hey there I'm Detective Elliot Stabler, whats your name?"He asked innocently throwing his voice low and soft.

"Reachel."She replied softly he smiled at her scotish accent, tears streaked her face,as she tried to wipe them away stabler pulled a tissue from histravel packet, glad he had thought the bring them for his own running nose.

"I like the accent."He smiled she looked at him wide eyes and gave a ghost of a grin.

"Thank you my gran was scotish I lived with her most of my life I just recently moved here from the highlands to stay with my parents."she explained.

"Oh well, welcome back to the states Reachel."Stabler grinned. She smiled at him.

"DetectiveI have to take her to the hospital now."AnEMT said. Elliot nodded and stoodto allow room but cuaght his sleeve and reach to pull it back and noticed a hand attached to him.

"Ummm i think i'm coming with you guys."He patted her hand and then gently helped to lift her on the gurney.

"Where are you going?"Olivia asked seeing her parnter getting ready to pile in with the vic. He simply pointed to his sleeve and smiled Olivia shook her head how he managed to get her to opened up to a guy she'd never understand.

"Will you be alright here alone?"Elliot asked.

"Yeah I'll finish up with the crime scene and meet you at the hospital for a statment."Liv replied he nodded and then piled into the ambulance for the ride. Reachel automatically went for his arm agian he oblidged her by taking her hand in his and giving a small squeeze as she drifted into a drugged stupor.

Doink Doink......

When Liv finally arrived at the ER she found her partner pacing a groove into the floor, she hid a grin, as he looked like a pinned up tiger about to kill some one.

"Hey partner any word yet?"She asked Elliot yelped in surprise ans spun to face her.

"Wow you okay?"Liv asked smiling at her partners scare.

"Yeah and no. No word yet."He finished.

"Detective Stabler?"A nurse asked

"Yes that's me and this is my partner Detective Benson."He said turning around.

"Oh good you both needed back now you victim went into a fit when we tried to do a rape kit."The nurse said Elliot raced back towards the screaming he could now hear.
