The C.S.U. was already at the scene when Elliot and Olivia had arrived. It was a gruesome sight, the kitchen floor was sopped in blood, the tables were stained with splatter and a ceiling fan whipped drops of blood all over the apartment.
They looked over the crimes scene, a man lay covered in blood on the middle of the floor. His head was tilted to the side, blood poured out a gash in his neck, his legs stuck out at odd angles, his pants were off and he torn bits of flesh remained where his genitalia should have been.
M.E. Warner was kneeling over the body, she looked up at Elliot and Olivia, "He's been dead maybe a half-hour, stab wound to the throat and mutilation to the genitalia." She stood up and walked over to the pair, "We found evidence that the missing member is inside his rectum, but we won't know for sure until we do the autopsy."
Both Olivia and Elliot nodded. Olivia walked over to one of the C.S.U. members, "Have you found anything?"
"We found a few antidepressants which wouldn't seem so unusual, except I don't think they're the right pills," replied a short man with blonde hair.
"What makes you think that?" Olivia questioned.
"Well, at first the pills seem normal, but if you look at the label it should have been filled nearly sixth months ago when I noticed that I looked at the actual pills. The prescription is for Prozac, but on close inspection of the pills inside the bottle they seem to be Aspirins. Now, you won't know for sure until an expert goes over them, but I'm pretty sure of my findings."
"Thanks," Elliot stated, "I want you to get a rush on that so we can be sure of its contents."
The man nodded and headed away. Elliot found Olivia talking to another member of the C.S.U. who was picking the lock on what looked like an old treasure chest. It took a few minutes of tugging before the lid popped open, the contents inside were varied and jumbled. There was an Alice Cooper CD, a "House of 1,000 Corpses" DVD and various items of the sort.
"We should go back and get a statement from Cameron," Olivia said to Elliot. He agreed and they were soon walking back into the S.V.U. squad room.
When Olivia had left Sherri turned all her attention to Cameron, "So what happened with you and Franklin tonight."
Cameron began to sob again, "It's not just tonight, it's every night, he wants to break me."
"What do you mean by 'he wants to break' you?"
"When we started out it was fine, he was so sweet. He would take me out and show me off like I was a precious jewel. Then one day it all changed, I had been talking to a friend of my mine and he accused me of cheating."
"Why would he think that?"
"I don't know, I was just talking and it wasn't like he was interested in me in anyway. He was gay and we were talking about his current boyfriend. We fought about it all the way home, he was so angry.
"We started yelling at each other the minute we walked through the door, his friend David was sitting on the couch laughing at us. We went into the kitchen and he pushed me up against the wall. He pulled off my pants and grabbed a kitchen knife. He cut large slits in my thighs and then poured salt in them.
"I screamed at him to stop, but he wouldn't. He grabbed me by the hair and dragged me into the bedroom, he threw me on the bed and raped me. I screamed as loud as I could, but no one came.
"When he was finished he let his friend David rape me. I begged for him to stop but they both just laughed, and when they were done they dragged me into the shower and nearly busted my head open on the faucet," Cameron suddenly fell into sobs and incoherent mumbling.
Sherri set her hand on Cameron's shoulder, she flinched for a moment and then fell into Sherri's side. The hot tears soaked Sherri's blouse and Cameron's sobs broke Sherri's heart.
Dr. George Huang stepped into the room and set his hand on Cameron's shoulder. She yelped, pulled away and fell out of her chair, she looked at Dr. Huang in terror and crawled away when he got too close.
"Cameron it's okay, this is Dr. George Huang, my mentor," Sherri came close to Cameron and helped her to her feet. Cameron clung to Sherri and used her to fill the space between herself and Dr. Huang.
Sherri took a step away from Cameron and gently pushed her into a chair, "I have to talk to Dr. Huang and then we'll finish our conversation. Okay?"
Cameron nodded her head, salty tears ran down her cheeks, a small bubble of mucus was forming in one of her nostrils. Sherri handed her a tissue and walked over to Dr. Huang. "Well, I have her talking, if you want to take over," Sherri began.
"No, it would be best if you stayed, but I need a quick overview of your credentials," Dr. Huang informed her.
"I graduated from C.S.U. Monterey with a PsyD in Psychology. I spent two years as a crisis counselor, four as a rape crisis counselor, and I just got back from Indonesia were I was a counselor for victims of the tragedy and the volunteer helpers."
"That works for now, but later I'll have to get all of your transcripts from your schools and jobs," he said
"I expect nothing less," Sherri stated and they both walked over to Cameron. Sherri sat next to Cameron while Dr. Huang took a seat at the opposite side of the table.
"Cameron, do you feel comfortable talking in front of me?" Dr. Huang asked her. The last thing he wanted to do was upset her so badly that she would stop talking, and they would get no further.
"Yeah, I think I can talk around you," she said a little shaky, nodding her head nervously.
"Okay, so how did you and Franklin meet?" Sherri asked trying to get everything back on the subject.
"At school, we had the same Biology class and we decided to start a study group. One day before a test he invited me over to study and we ended up just making out the entire time. The next day I found flowers on my desk and Rose petals going up my stairs to my apartment, it was so sweet."
She looked over at Huang and Sherri, "Was I wrong to fall for him?"
"Oh, no, sweetheart, no one could have turned a man like that down," Sherri said sliding her arm around Cameron's shoulders. "To be honest I don't think I could turn a guy like that away."
"I wish I would have," she said tears still sliding down her cheeks from her eyes. "It was good for about six months, before he snapped. I don't want to talk anymore, do you think we could stop for a little while."
"I see no problem with it, do you Dr. Huang?" Sherri asked.
"None whatsoever, would you like anything to eat or drink?" Huang asked.
"Water, please," Cameron requested.
"Sure," Sherri said standing up.
Huang stopped her at the door, "You should stay with her, get her to tell you more about herself: friends, family, pets anything not involving the man she killed."
"Okay," she said and walked back to Cameron. She sat down and took her hand, "So where do you go to school?"
"N.Y.U.," Cameron stated with some interest, "I want to go to Juilliard, but I need a few more years of experience before I'm ready for that."
"Why do you think that? How much experience have you had?" Sherri asked.
"Well, I was in drama for three years, and I've been playing the violin for ten years," Cameron responded.
"You seem to have a nice background in music. Why don't you audition for their music program?"
Cameron shrugged, "I'm just no ready."
"Understandable," Sherri stated. "So, do your parents live around here?"
"They live in Jersey, but their thinking of moving to either California or Florida."
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"No, I'm an only child. I kind of wish I did have one though, you know. Maybe someone younger so I can pass on my experiences, help them out a little with growing up."
"Have you ever thought of joining a mentoring program?"
"I tried it once and every time I would build up a report with the kid they would move, or just stop seeing me for some reason or another."
"That's quite disheartening," Sherri said, "But hopefully it won't sway you from trying again. For the time being though, do you have any friends that you can share you wisdom with."
Cameron laughed, "I have a couple really good friends, May, June and Keri, from the school's music program. May and June are twins, it was the craziest thing, May was born at 11:56 pm May 31st and June was born at 12:01 am June 1st."
Dr. Huang entered the room and handed Cameron a bottle of water. She thanked him and turned her attention back to Sherri. They talked for a while longer, and Cameron revealed that her parents' names were Caitlyn and Joe Jameson, and that her friends lived on campus at N.Y.U.
There was a knock on the door and Elliot and Olivia entered the interrogation room. They sat on either side of the table and Cameron realized that she would have to continue talking about Franklin.
A/N: Okay, so I had thought that I already posted this but I guess I was wrong. I don't own these characters, that should be a given. So, this gives a little bit of what happened to our victim/perp. I wrote this really early in the morning, or really late at night, depends on how you would classify 4:00 am. Any suggestions on how to make it better please tell me. Oh, and can anyone tell me what 'AU' stands for, I've tried and I've tried but I really can't figure it out.
