Benson stayed the night at the hospital alone, she would be safe there for the night. Stabler went back to the station to talk to the girl, as Munch went to escort Benson back to the station.

"I'm going to get her to talk if I have to beat it out of her" Stabler shouted to Cragen.

"Just listen to Huang, he can help" Cragen said calmly. Stabler was fired up, but took in a deep breath to hear what Huang had to say.

"Ok, what?" He said crossing his arms across his chest.

"She wants to feel like she has the power- you have to agree with her- she wants your approval" Huang told Stabler. Stabler nodded as Benson and Munch came in. Stabler walked over to her quickly.

"You doing ok?" he asked.

"Yeah" she nodded.

"I'm fine. Let's go" she said.

"Go where?" Stabler frowned.

"To interrogate the girl" Benson told him like it was obvious.

"If you go in, she's going to shut down. She needs to know that she hurt you" Huang broke in. Benson took in a breath of doubt.

"Fine. But I'm watching in" she said as she headed for the interrogation room. Huang, Cragen, and Benson stood outside the window, as Stabler went inside. He came in with one of his hands over his face. He sat at the table but kept his face covered.

"Some thing wrong?" the girl asked with one eye brow up. Stabler looked up at her as he spoke.

"It's my partner" his voice was shaky.

"What's wrong with your partner?" the girl started to smile slightly.

"She's hurt" he said.

"How?" she acted concerned.

"Some guy came up behind her, he hit beat her pretty bad. She's still in the hospital." Stabler shook his head and looked away.

"Why do you care?" the girl wondered.

"What do you mean?" Stabler was confused.

"Why do you care if she's hurt?"

"Well… I haven't told any one this but, I'm in love with her" he told the girl.

"And now she's hurting, so your hurting?" the girl smiled.

"Yeah" he admitted.

"You know, it's funny. Life can be so unexplainable. But no matter how much we want to learn about the truth, about what people really are thinking- we find it's easier to live a lie. You must understand Detective Stabler- there are two ways this can go down. You can let me go now, and no one else gets hurt. Or, you can let me go to jail, where I'll break out, and where someone else has to get hurt." The girl leaned forward and looked at him.

"Your going to jail for more things now. Conspiracy to kidnap." Stabler leaned in to.

"Oh, Detective Stabler, you wouldn't" she stood and started to walk around.

"I know you wouldn't do this to her" The girl stood in front of the window.

"What do you mean?" Stabler asked as he turned.

"I know she's behind his window." The girl looked through the window like it wasn't there.

"There's no one behind there" Stabler tried to the girl.

"Sure. Hey, Benson- if you throw me in jail I have to go to plan B. I really don't want to, believe me. But I will."

"What's plan B?" Stabler asked as he stood behind the girl.

"She'll have to go through the one thing she can't. The one thing that she wouldn't let happen to herself. It destroyed her mother, and she knows it will destroy her." The girl kept looking forward, although she did feel bad that she would have to do what she had to do.

"Rape?" Stabler asked.

"RDK. Rape. Dismember. Kill." The girl kept looking forward.

"You, nor any of your 'boys' are going to touch Benson. And if they do I'll kill you myself" Stabler came up to the side of the girl.

"You really do love her don't you" the girl looked him straight in the eye as Cragen came in.

"Come on" he said as he took the girl away. The girl turned and smirked at Benson before she walked off to the jail cells. Stabler walked up to Benson soon after, out in the main room. She was standing near a filing cabinet, but her mind was else where.

"She's not going to hurt you" Stabler told her quietly.

"I won't let her- I won't let any one hurt you" he said. She bit her lower lip as tears started to welt up. She looked the other direction, but finally turned toward him.

"You know, I knew it. I knew that one day I would be raped like my mother. I knew it. And now that I'm closer then I ever have been, I know it for a fact. That girl is going to have someone rape me. I can feel it." She gulped as she turned around and walked off.
