"Emiko, I'm Detective Olivia Benson." Olivia introduced herself walking into the interrogation room.
"Hi." she replied quietly.
"This is Elliot Stabler,my partner." she motioned towards Elliot and he waved.
"Do you know why you are here?" she eased on.
"Listen, if this about what I wrote in Advisory class, sorry, I didn't mean to, but she said it was anonomous, so I didn't think she could identify my writing." Emiko said.
"Calm down Em, it's not about that, we are here to talk about your Dad." Elliot informed her. Fear filled her eyes.
'W-w-what about my D-d-ad?" she stammered out.Her nails started scraping her wrists, as if she was trying to cut with her nails.
"Emiko, I'm going to just bring it right out, give us an honest answer and you can go back to gymnastics, ok?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, only gymnastics is over, I need to get to track."
"Alright, Emiko does your Dad hit you?" Emiko let out a nervous laugh.
"My Dad, yeah right, he loves me to much to hit me, your not serious are you?"
"Well, your Principal called us and she said you had been coming in with bruises and cuts everyday." said Elliot.
"I do alot of sports, everytime I hit something or do a wrong move, I get hurt, that's all."
"How did you break your nose?"
"Attempting a back walk-over on the beam, I fell off and landed on my face."
"Are you sure your Dad doesn't abuse you in anyway?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, I'm positive, now can I go, I'm already late?"
"Sure, we'll keep in touch." Elliot said getting up from the chair, with a disappointed look on his face. After Emiko left Elliot started talking to Casey.
"Casey, what can we do, we know she's lying?" Elliot questioned.
"We don't know that, she might be telling the truth." said Casey.
"Could we get a warrant for her house?"
"And do what?"
"I don't know, look for blood stains or something?"
"El, I wish we could but we don't have probable cause."
"All her friends say her Dad is a real hard-ass come on Casey." he begged.
"Sorry Elliot, get her to say it, then sure, you'll get your warrant." Novak picked up her briefcase and walked out of the 1-6.
"Now what?" Munch asked Elliot.
"I don't really know, let's try talking to Emiko and her friends in a couple days."
"Do you think the school nurse knows anything?"
"Go ask." Elliot replied rubbing his temples.
Munch and Fin walked into Manhattan High and made their way through the crowded halls to the nurses office.
"Can I help you Gentlemen?" a pregnant woman asked.
"Yeah, Detectives Tutuola and Munch, we need to see the school nurse." Fin informed her. She beamed at them.
"I'm the nurse, what can I help you with Detectives?"
"Do you know a Ms.Emiko Kobyashi?"asked Fin. The nurse's smile disappeared.
"Sure, comes in here everyday with new injuries, funny how something serious hasn't happened yet."
"Why do you say that?"
"Emiko comes here with bruises and cuts up to her head, when I ask her about it she says it is accidents?"
"Do you remember any specific accidents?"
"A couple days ago she came in with a broken nose, a week before that she had a bruised rib-cage, and about a month before that Emiko showed me stab marks on her stomach."
"Stab marks, now that can't be an accident?"
"Em, is a cutter so I figured she did it and just wanted it treated."
"O.k, so you said bruised rib-cage, stab marks on her stomach, and she came in everyday with a new accident?" Munch asked reviewing his notes.
"Yep."
"Thanks for your time, we just have one more question, does Emiko hang out with anybody inparticular alot?"
"Her friends JJ,Torri,Paige, and Aleah."
"Aleah, we missed her." Munch whispered to Fin.
"Do you have Aleah's last name and homeroom:
"Aleah Stevens, Mrs.Francis 9th grade." she smiled at them and returned tending to a boy who wa puking in the trash right next to them.
"Let's go she what Aleah has to say." Fin said walking out of the Nurse's office, walking towards the Principals.
Alright guys I promise Aleah is the last friend. . Keep reading and R&R!
