Chapter Thirteen
Don't own it
Precinct
WARNERCongratulations detectives, it's a boy. Patrick Brennan is the father of Anthony and Nicky Brennan and a match for the crime scene.
BENSONGreat. Now we just need a confession out of Patrick. Let's land this scumbag Stabler. I can't wait to see him get his sentencing.
WARNERAnd the officers who searched the house only found one drawstring bag.
STABLERLet me guess the fabric is a match.
WARNERBingo. His wife ID's it as a bag from his golf gear.
STABLERAre you punishing Patrick for Katie or your mother?
BENSONDoes it matter?
STABLERNo. You know you always have my support.
INTERROGATION ROOM
STABLERPatrick, why did you do it? Does Anthony know what you did?
PATRICKI didn't do anything.
BENSONSave it Patrick. We know exactly what happened. You left semen all over the side of the bed. You didn't know that though huh? And we've got your murder weapon, well we took out the golf balls.
STABLERYou raped her once, and then you found out she was pregnant. How convenient that your friend did the lab work that proved Anthony was the father and not you.
PATRICKFine, I made that part up. My friend Shawna did the test and gave me the results. My wife and I were so upset to see that the child was the rapist's. But we didn't see the point in the kids knowing. More than anything they needed that baby to be theirs. So we lied and told them it was Anthony's.
BENSONBut over the next 4 years you raped at least 7 other women. Each of them looked just like Katie. After you raped each woman you told her she wasn't the one.
STABLERYou're a good lay, but you're not her.
BENSONEach one you gave her a bath and removed any proof. But you left one big piece of proof-
STABLERNicky.
BENSONWhat happened on Saturday when Katie called you. She wanted to know the name of the doctor who had done that lab work.
STABLERYou told her you were on your way over.
BENSONYou raped her again. Same rope burns on her neck.
STABLERYou were so angry that the truth was out. You got scared. You beat the crap out of her. So angry because your secret was out.
BENSONYou kept hitting her but she knew it was you. She would have told your son and your family would know what you'd done.
STABLERNow they will all find out in the courtroom.
PATRICKSTOP IT! STOP IT! I loved Katie! Doesn't anyone get it? I was in love with her! And I couldn't have her! What? She just kept screaming at me. I pulled the bag over her head and she started to fight it. I didn't mean to hit her. But she had somehow figured it all out. She kept screaming it had to me because Nicky looks like Anthony. I kept kitting her because she kept fighting. I pulled the string tighter.
STABLERAnd tighter. And tighter. And tighter. And she couldn't breath. But you had gotten the one. You had her. Then your dream girl took her last breath. And you gave her a bath, and did her hair. Why so that Anthony would come home and find her that way? Why did you do it Patrick?
PATRICKI WANT MY LAWYER!
