Chapter 2: Memories
Olivia looked at the girl with eyes filled with hatred for those boys. She knew how much it hurt to find out that a person was born because of rape, and how it was even worse for the victim.
"They got you pregnant?" Olivia asked Malory
"Yes" her voice was dripping with disdain and disgust.
"Is that why you came here after three months?"
"Yes" Malory cried in a whisper. Tears began to burn her eyes, but she refused to let a single one fall. "They raped me and now I'm stuck with a reminder for the rest of my life. The worst part, though, is that I knew that this was going to happen! I knew it!"
"How did you know that you were going to be raped? Or even pregnant?" Olivia was confused
"My friend, she and I had dreams. It's hard to explain, but we had dreams, two for me and one for her, and they came true. I thought I was watching too much Law and Order CI. The dreams were so, wow, and we just said that it was cool. I never forget it though, I mean, it's not easy to forget when you and your friend both have dreams about you having a daughter from rape with the same name and appearance." Malory looked out the window. "I'm sorry, I should probably be telling you about the rape. I'm sorry"
"No, you just go at your own pace, though it is better that you tell me the details as soon as possible." The Malory was obviously still in shock from finding out about her pregnancy.
"Well, when we got to the corner of the street and I looked up at the guy who was now standing upright. I was about to talk, or say something, like get away, but all of a sudden a van came and stopped right in front of us. The doors in the back flew open and the guy covered my mouth and threw me into the back. There were two guys in the front. One of them was like bouncing off the walls, like Mark in Empire Records. The one driving was like really serious. He was obviously the one in charge. It was like, he was made of stone" Malory's eyes went into a trance. She had ben shaking all over before but now she just sat still, her eyes glazed over. "As soon as he parked the car about fifteen minutes later the one in the driver's seat turned around. He told the one next to me that it was time to, um, to become a man. It was like he was a pledge master and the one in the back had to do one of those, um, challenge things to get in or something. When he leant over and started to kiss me and stuff, i thought 'maybe if i don't show a reaction then they'll stop' so that's what I did, but it didn't work because he tried harder and became more aggressive. He finally stopped when he heard the one in the passenger seat laughing about how he couldn't even scare a little girl. I thought that if i egged him on, he'd get so pissed off and the other guys would think that i was cool and tell him to stop. And the scary thing was than when they did, the one in the driver's seat turned around completely and said that he had no spine and couldn't do anything. He tried to show them how tough he was. He said that he would show he wasn't a wuss."
Olivia leant forward. "What exactly did he say he would do?"
"He said 'how about I carve my initials in her. LG wuz here.' and laughed. He took out a knife and came closer to me. I began to get really nervous, i mean, this guy was coming at me with a knife! What was I supposed to do? I told them that if they did not harm me in any way then I would do what they wanted. I turned to the one in the drivers seat. He began to smirk. He told me 'okay baby. but to seal the deal, and make it more worth our while you gotta not just do Sir Cant-get-it-up, but all three of us' I'll never forget his words. He unzipped his pants and asked 'do we have a deal?' I nodded my head. Why did I have to agree with them? I should have just let them cut me up instead of acting like a whore! I also had to swear that I would never tell a soul. He said that they weren't even considering taking me back afterwards, but if I was good enough, then he'd even let me put my head on his lap while LG drove, in the back"
"You did not act like a whore. You did give them consent though, but only because you were afraid for your life. Now what happened next?" Olivia urged.
"Well, I did stuff, with all of them. It went on for what seemed like forever, but when they were done, the one in charge did exactly what he said they would. He told LG to drive while the two of us were in the back, with my head not in his lap, but on it,m the whole time. As soon as they dropped me off in a parking lot a few blocks from my school I ran to the building, but I didn't tell anyone what happened because of the way it happened. I went into the building and went straight to the bathroom and cleaned myself up until almost nothing showed. I went to my classes and finished the day. I thought that as soon as I got to school it would all be behind me. I went to the office and told them that I was at the doctor's and that was why I was so late to school. It feels so weird, that I was able to lie so well and knew exactly what to do when I got to school, and how well I remember it." Malory looked up and stared Olivia right in the eye "It isn't something that you forget very easily."
"Would you care to come to a sketch artist right now to tell him what you saw?" Olivia asked
"I already drew them. I drew their faces a million times. I saw somewhere that if you draw someone that scares you and destroy the picture, then it would destroy the person, but it never worked, so I drew their faces over and over so that I would never forget them" Malory said in a dark, cryptic tone.
"May I see them?" Olivia looked at the pictures Malory was handing to her. They were amazing. There was so much detail that if she could even tell the color of their skin and hair. "Malory, these pictures are so, so lifelike. Would you mind if I made copies and distributed them, otherwise you will have to come to the forensic artist."
"I've already made copies. With descriptions of their voices, height, estimated weight, build, everything. I came prepared. I also know this stuff because I always wanted to do something artistic with drawing when i grew up. I'm sorry, I'm rambling again."
"Wow, I wish all victims were like this. I mean their memory and how well they could describe everything, even though they shouldn't have to" Olivia was having a loss of words.
"Let me get my partner. Do you remember where the incident took place?" Olivia stood up.
"No, I only saw the inside of the van, but I do remember the car scratching trees when it drove, and there was a large bump that we went over in the way back."
"Also, would you mind letting us take a sample of the baby's blood, so that we can do a paternity test?" Olivia asked.
"But then my parents would find out. I don't want them to know about this. That's why I slept over at my friend's house last night. Right now she's at a doctor's appointment and I told her that I was only coming here because I was doing something for the science program that I'm in because I'm studying criminology. She's picking me up here in twenty minutes." Malory began to freak out.
"Malory, I'm sorry but you are a minor and your parents have to know about this."
"But-"
"Malory, we will have to tell them that you were raped and are pregnant, but you do not have to tell them any more if you do not want us to." Olivia had a serious look on her face.
"Fine, but do I have to be in the room?"
"No. Now let me get my partner. I'll be right back" Olivia left the room and looked at Malory through the one way mirror.
She looked so scared. Olivia wanted the sonuvabitches to pay for what they did.
"Olivia, hey. I got chinese. Lo mien, right?" Olivia's partner Eliot Stabler said as he walked towards her.
"Not now Elliot, I have a girl in there, a rape victim." she walked over quickly. "Get this, she's only fifteen and they got her pregnant."
"Son of a bitch" he muttered
"Bitches, there were three." She looked behind her.
"What?"
"And get this, remember the boys in the fraternity, with the sodomizing? Well it seems like we have a similar case. Victim thinks that the rape was some sort of initiation thing." Olivia was nervous.
"What do you mean?" Elliot asked.
"Why don't you just ask her yourself. She's right in there" Olivia motioned towards the window.
Elliot looked at the girl. She seemed so vulnerable. Who would want to hurt an innocent girl like her?
