AN: We'd first like to let it be known how touched we are by the reviews we've gotten! We love hearing from you! Keep them coming!

Sorry it took us a while to update- school has started up again, and with it comes homework, clubs, extra-curricular and everyday life! So sorry for the delay, and we apologize if from here on updates are less frequent- final exams are coming up, teachers are piling on homework without mercy and…all that jazz. The joys of high school life!

And I, FaithHopeLove, would like to apologize for how long its taken me to update my other story- I'll never write two at once again! The next chapter of 'In the Name of God the Father' will be posted by the end of the weekend!

Anyways, on with the long-awaited hahaha! second chapter! Enjoy!

Casey Novak walked into the SVU precinct. And found complete silence, except for Elizabeth sobbing and Elliot trying to comfort her, rocking her.

"It's okay, sweetheart. It's all over now. It's over. It's okay. I've got you. Angel, it's okay."

Casey walked to Olivia, horror filling her. She'd seen darkness in SVU, and that had taught her to expect the worst.

"What happened?" Casey whispered.

Olivia felt tears burning in her eyes. She wouldn't cry. She never cried.

"Elizabeth was raped."

"What?" Casey hissed. "Oh my God!"

Casey looked towards Elliot and Elizabeth in concern. Hers and Elliot's eyes met for a moment, a brief glance before Elliot stroked Elizabeth's hair and miraculously found the strength to speak.

"'Lizzie," Elliot said, fighting back his emotions, "We need to know what happened."

"I know…" She whispered.

"Come on." Elliot said, leading his daughter to the nearest interrogation room.

Casey was the first to move; kneeling at Elliot's desk to pick up a picture in a shattered frame. She smiled down at it. It was Elliot's children outside Our Lady of Grace. They were beaming in it, laughing at something, Father Joseph smiling at them in the background. It was recent. Elizabeth looked so happy then as she smiled up at Maureen. Elizabeth had been so carefree, so young, so…innocent. And now all of that was shattered. Casey wanted blood probably as much as Elliot. She headed towards the questioning room, knocked on the door and stuck her head in.

"Hey you guys," She said softly, "Can I come in?"

"Casey. Hi." Elizabeth said, now fighting to act normal.

"Hey, 'Liz. So, do you know who did this to you?"

Elizabeth felt so dirty. Did she know? Of course she knew. And more than anything on the planet, she wished she didn't.

"Yes." Elizabeth whispered.

"Who did it?" Elliot asked, putting his arm around his daughter.

"It was Father Joseph." Elizabeth said.

Casey felt her jaw drop, and she forced it shut. Father Johnson…she, Elliot, and all of Elliot's children went to his parish. Casey had trusted him. She'd confessed to him. She'd never suspected a thing. She'd been an idiot.

Elliot blinked. He'd been attending the parish for years…ever since he'd married Kathy. They'd both trusted him, confessed to him. He'd baptized all their children, served his children their first communions, had been there for their first confessions. Never, not once, had he suspected that Father Joseph would do something like that…he'd been wrong. A complete idiot. And now his daughter was paying for it. He tried to speak, to ask her how it had happened, but couldn't. He looked over at Casey, who asked it for him.

"How did it happen?"

Elizabeth took a deep breath and tried to calm herself as she prepared to tell her story. Fear washed over her, and nausea began to fill her senses, but she forced it down. The pain in her father's eyes made her stronger. She had to tell the story. For him, for her…for her entire family.

"It happened when I went to the parish…after school today," She began, her voice wavering. Tears began to show, but she angrily wiped them away. She would be strong. She was going to get through this.

"I had left my purse at mass on Sunday." She looked at her father, "You know, the purple one mom bought me."

Elliot nodded, trying to keep his daughter talking. On the outside, he looked like a worried, caring father. On the inside, anger and rage filled him with a force that scared him. How could anyone do this to his baby girl? He started to imagine all the painful things he could do to Father Joseph, but was brought back to reality by his daughter speaking again.

"F-father Joseph met me at the door, and I asked him if he'd seen it. He said that he had, and that he'd put it in his office…"

Casey pulled out a chair, and sat down beside Elizabeth. She put her hand on Elizabeth's shoulder and began to rub it comfortingly.

She had handled these types of cases before, but none of them had ever affected her so deeply. She wanted to kill the bastard that had done this to Elizabeth. Looking at Elliot, she knew that he did, too.

"Keep going, honey." She said softly.

Outside, John and Fin stared at the paperwork they were supposed to be doing. Similar thoughts raced through their minds. Why Elizabeth? Why Elliot's kid? Why anyone? Why? Cragen came out of his office, files in hand.

"Benson, Stabler…" The words died on his lips as he saw Elliot's empty desk. He turned to Olivia with a questioning glance. She said nothing, just gave him a look filled with pain and distress.

"What's going on?" He asked slowly, dreading the answer, knowing it wasn't good.

Fin sighed and stood up.

"Elizabeth's been raped," He said softly, "Casey and Elliot are questioning her."

Cragen closed his eyes. He couldn't believe this. He forced his eyes open, and an air of superiority and business took hold of him. He would treat this like any other case. He had to.

"Get Huang down here and see if he wants to talk with Elliot or Lizzie…Elizabeth."

Fin nodded, and sat back down as Casey came out of the interrogation room, tears in her eyes.

"The bastard raped her in his office."

"Who did it?" Munch asked.

"The priest of the parish that she, Elliot, the rest of Elliot's family and I all…go to…" She said, her voice dying as she whispered the last couple words. Forcing it out, she said, "Elliot's going to take her to the hospital soon."

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, the door to the interrogation room opened, and Elliot and Elizabeth stepped out. Elizabeth looked miserable, and it was obvious that she'd been crying.

Cragen's heart went out to both of them. It would be a while before either of them felt their pain recede. Elizabeth walked past Cragen and bent down to pick up her backpack. She winced slightly as a bruise on her back bent and twisted with her body. Elliot noticed, and gently took the bag from her.

"We need to take you to the hospital." He said gently.

Elizabeth looked frightened at the prospect of having doctors poke and prod at her, but nodded anyway. Olivia quickly stood and put her hand on Elliot's shoulder, stopping him.

"Uh, Elliot…maybe I should take her…you need to call Kathy."

Elliot's heart sank at the mention of his former wife's name. How was he going to tell Kathy that their baby girl had been raped? And by a person they had trusted, no less? After thinking carefully, he nodded. Having a woman there would be better for Elizabeth anyway.

"'Lizzie," He said quietly, kneeling down to his daughter's height, "Olivia's going to take you, okay? I have to call your mom."

Elizabeth nodded, and hesitated before asking the next question.

"What about Father Joseph?"

Elliot felt his anger flare at the mention of the bastards name. Munch, however, answered for him.

"We'll get him, Elizabeth. Don't worry."

Elizabeth gave them a shaky smile before letting Olivia lead her out the door.

Elliot sighed, and picked up his phone. This was going to be the hardest call he'd ever made.

Alright people, let's see some reviews!!!
