Chapter 6-

Elliot walked around Malcolm, hands behind his back. He looked like he was going to pounce on him at any minute.

"Take these damn things off my arm, they are cutting me." Malcolm complained.

"You're lucky it's them and not me you scum" Said Elliot as he unlocked the cuffs from Malcolm's wrists.

"Take a seat, Mr. Richards." Olivia said.

"Sure" said Malcolm as he reached for the chair, he didn't sit in it.

He grabbed the top and swung it over his head, trying to hit Elliot.

"Nice try" Elliot said, grabbing tight hold of Malcolm's wrists.

"Let's try again shall we?" Liv asked.

Malcolm spat in Liv's face.There was a knock at the door.

"What is going on? Just get to the point." said the captain. "None of this beating around the bushes, if he is here any longer i am going to start charging rent" said Cragen as he directed his detectives back into the interrogation room.

"Didn't you see him nearly throw a chair at me Cap?" Elliot said. Cragen turned away from his detectives as they made their way back into the room.

Olivia sat down in her chair. "Now, we can do this the easy way or we could do it the hard way. I don't think you would want it to be the hard way so why don't we start by telling the truth hey?" Said Liv.

"Well, I am sorry sweetheart but I have nothing to say to you" said Malcolm with a smirk on his face."

Elliot slapped Malcolm across the back of the head before letting out a comment.

"wrong answer, tough guy" Said Elliot.

"I want a lawyer, I am sick of his abusive behaviour," said Malcolm.

Elliot leant over the table, "You haven't seen the abusive side of me yet" said Elliot as he walked out of the room slamming the door.

"What the hell was that Elliot? You can't just go round beating up everyone we interrogate, no matter how close to home the case is, got it?" Cragen was furious at elliot, but at the same time he was feeling elliots anger run through him.

"We have to get to the bottom of this cap," Elliot said.

"We will Elliot, the right way." Cragen said as he made his way back to the interrogation room.

He opened the door, "I am Captain Cragen, nice to meet you Malcolm, is it?" Cragen said as he reached out to shake Malcolm's hand.

"Oh yeah sorry just realised you were in handcuffs, you really should have thought about throwing a chair at one of my detectives. Not a good move."

"I want a lawyer, I won't say another word until have a-

Malcolm was cut off by a voice that was owned by a tall, dark haired man who looked like he knew what he was doing.

"Don't say another word, I mean it" The man said.

Elliot and Liv stood up and exited the room.

"Who the hell does this guy think he is Cap?" Elliot asked.

"His name is Trevor, he is Mr. Richards's attorney.

"A dirty lawyer suits him to a T" Liv commented.

Trevor sat down beside Malcolm. He whispered in his ear something. Liv and Elliot entered the room again and sat down on the opposite side of the table.

"My client wishes to exercise his right to remain silent at this time"

"That's ok...we can do the talking, we have all the evidence we need" said Elliot

Elliot slammed a portfolio on the table...

"It's all on your record, Malcolm. One count rape in 1996," Liv said.

"That was nine years ago, I did my time." Said Malcolm.

"Once a rapist always a rapist", Commented Elliot.

"What point are you trying to make detectives?" Asked Trevor whom was Malcolm's' attorney.

"Well you see, Trevor. The point we are trying to make is that Malcolm has a past record of rape and it just so happens that Maureen Stabler.-"

Malcolm cut Liv off, "I didn't rape Maureen. I love her like she's my own daughter."

Elliot leant over the table coming very close to Malcolm's face, "I have news for you pal, and she is my god damn daughter. Didn't you notice that her last name is Stabler not Richards? She is mine and I will put your ass right back in a cell when I found enough evidence to support Maureen's story." Elliot had anger rushing through him.

"Look. Everyday that I went over Kathy's place. Kathy was always there. There were a few occasions where Maureen was home too but not all the time." Said Malcolm.

"Where was she then?" Asked Liv.

"Probably out partying with her friends, getting drunk or at the library. Studying, at least that what she tells her mother."

Said Malcolm.

"So what you're saying is that you think she was lying?" Asked Liv.

"So, now not only is my daughter lying about you raping her, but she is also lying about where she was going. Your stories don't add up. Don't you agree on taking responsibility for your own actions?" Asked Elliot. Elliot grabbed Malcolm by the throat.

"Elliot, I think that's enough now." Said Liv as she stood in front of Elliot, before he caused any more trouble.

"Yeah I agree" said Elliot as he released his hands from Malcolm's throat. "You're free to go, Malcolm."

"Thanks for wasting my time, detectives" said Trevor. As he walked out of the room, followed by Malcolm.

"Anytime for you Trevor, it's always a pleasure." Said Elliot.

"What the hell was that El; you can't go assaulting clients in front of their attorney." Said Liv.

"I don't know what was happening with that, but we had to let him go, we haven't got enough evidence yet."

Cragen walked in the room." I think you will need to make a trip the hospital, see if you can get anything more out of her."

"No worries Cap," El said as he reached for his coat.

"You are not going anywhere Elliot, I have assigned Fin to pair with Liv on this case. It's seems as though you can't hold your anger." Said Cragen as he walked off. Leaving Elliot feeling like a dog that lost it's bone.
