Home of Ryan and Linda Somerset

Park Avenue

November 7

Elliot flashes his badge and enters the penthouse. Olivia and Casey, along with EMTs and two uniformed officers are inside.

"We were waiting on you. The uniforms called us when they realized who they were. And uh, he said he wanted you to arrest him," Olivia whispers.

Casey just shakes her head.

Elliot looks over to the EMTs. They are attending to Ryland, while Beecher is standing off to the side, "Elliot….her father, he just went crazy. Just beat the hell out of her. Broke her nose….maybe fractured her orbital bone. Her mother called the police. But, it's good to see you again," Beecher says.

Elliot walks over to Ryan. He looks at him.

"Don't ask….I'll tell you. She and Toby came over. Toby was winning over my wife in the dining room. So, I was talking to Ryland here, in the living room. And I couldn't help myself. I asked her if she killed Carrie. If she raped her. She smiled….and told me every detail and how much she enjoyed it. Then…I just lost it. Completely lost it. I beat her. And….I wanted her dead."

Elliot grabs him by the arm, "I can't arrest you in your own home…."

"I know. Let's go then."

They cross the threshold and Elliot cuffs him, "Ryan Somerset, you are under arrest for the assault of Ryland Somerset. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. In the event you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?"

"I know my rights. Funny, never knew cuffs were so uncomfortable."

Elliot hands him off to a uniformed officer. Olivia and Casey join him outside, followed up closely by Beecher, who is wearing a confident smile.

"Keep smiling jackass."

The EMTs are escorting Ryland out. She's holding a cold pack to her face. She implores them to stop. And then, she makes eye contact.

Casey is shocked, "Son of a bitch."

"Is that any way to talk to a victim? And your over whelming concern is appreciated. Sorry I can't see the look on your faces. I'm blind with out my contacts. I'm sure it would be priceless. Didn't think my eyes really were blue did you?"

The three look in shock at her beautiful brown eyes. Beecher moves beside her and scoops her up in his arms.

"Well then, if you'll excuse me….and uh, I'll be seeing you soon," she says.

As she is taken away, Elliot sighs, "No doubt in my mind of that."

"She gets away with murder and her father goes to jail for assault," Olivia says.

"And that's justice," Casey mutters, "turns out it's not blind. It's eyes are just a different color."
