Disclaimer: SVU doesn't belongs to me. However, the OCs do, and so
does the case. I Hate Everything About You is by Three Days Grace. Sugar, We're Going Down is Fall Out Boy. The line on Celeste's shirt at the beginning is from I'm a Fake by The Used. And anything else is probably by a band...
Authors Note: It took me a while to think up this case. I'm really not
good of thinking of them, so if it seems kind of vague, that's why. Also I
didn't want to write about rape in too much detail. Oh yeah, I was thinking of pairing Munch and Casey up. Just a thought, we'll see how things go. Anyway, enjoy the latest chapter. Oh, and I took it out of Remi's POV, I
wanted to test it out, so if I switch again next time, so sorry. To explain
the POV switches last time, sometimes I needed to write some things out
of Remi's POV. Sorry. And the formatting is REALLY bunches togteher and messe dup. Again, I'm sorry, but my wod processor has been acting up. Next time it won't look like this.
Chapter twoEmo Boy
A girl walked in out of the night air and looked around nervously. She had long blonde hair and steel-gray eyes. She was wearing dark jeans and a black top with white sleeves. It read, 'Love is not like anything,especially a fucking knife'. Her black boots were scuffed, and her hair was tousled. She was limping slightly.
Olivia looked up, and walked over to her, "Are you okay, honey?"
She shook her head silently, "M-my friend told me to... to come here... Shesaid you would h-help." A tear rolled down her cheek, but she wiped it away, and blinked a couple of times.
Remi was arguing with Munch, but upon seeing the girl, she headed over to Olivia, "Hey, what's up...?"
Olivia was saying, "Honey, you have to tell me what happened."
The girl shook her head again, and Olivia told her, "Okay, just sit down for now."
"I'll keep her company while you go get Elliot," Remi offered, knowing what Olivia was going to do. Olivia nodded, "Thanks."
Remi sat down in a chair next to the girl. The chairs both reclined slightly, so that they were both staring at the ceiling.
The girl started to sing softly and sadly,
"Every time we lie awake,
After every hit we take.
Every feeling that I get...
But I haven't missed you yet."
The girl looked over at Remi, who had begun to sing along with her.
She continued:
"Every roommate kept awake,
By every silent scream we make.
All the feelings that I get...
But I haven't missed you yet."
A few more tears slipped down her cheeks. Remi gave her a hug, "It's okay... Whatever it is, it's over now..." Actually, Remi could guess what itwas. Why else would she be here?
Elliot walked over, as Remi sat back down. The girl had again, wipedaway her tears. He said, "Listen, you need to talk to us, okay?"
The girl said, "I'll talk to her." She motioned towards Remi. Remi looked at Elliot, and nodded once, "Yeah. Sure."
She'd probably feel more comfortable speaking to someone her age, Remi thought.
Remi stood up, and they both walked towards the girls bathroom, private enough to speak. She passed Huang, who looked as if he was thinking of shrinking her for that song. She grimaced, and stepped inside.
Remi didn't want to get straight to the point like the detectives would. She thought the girl might feel more comfortable if Remi talked to her a bit first.
"I like your shirt. The Used owns, huh?"
She smiled a little, "Oh, yeah. You like Three Days Grace?"
"Love them," Remi answered, "Although I listen to a lot of Nirvana too."
"Ooh, Kurt Cobain is so hott," She laughed, as did Remi, "He really is." ((A/N: I agree totally, but um, anyway...))
"So," Remi asked, "What happened?"
The girl's eyes darkened, and she sighed, "This afternoon I was walking down an alley, when a man jumped me. I thought I recognized his voice, but I didn't have time to place it before he jumped me from behind. I tried to fight back, but he was stronger, and he hit me on the head with something hard. When I woke up, my skirt and underwear were ripped off... My friend lent me a pair of jeans and underwear and told me to come here."
The girl sighed again, and Remi gave her another hug, "It's all over now.
We'll catch this guy, I promise. Sorry you had to talk so soon."
The girl smiled a small smile, "It's okay... I feel like I can talk to
you."
Remi smiled too, "I'm Remi."
"And I'm Celeste," Celeste answered, "I like your shirt too. The big blue anarchy sign? You're an anarchist too?"
Remi nodded, "Totally. Um... this may be hard to believe, but... I'm a
vampire."
Celeste said, "No joke? I can believe that. I always knew there were
others out there." She shuddered, and Remi grabbed her arm, "You
should sit. And they're probably going to run some tests on you."
Celeste said, "I guess I can handle it. How old are you, by the way?"
"15," Remi told her, "Oh yeah, and just for a heads up? Watch out for
Huang. He'll try to shrink you at any possible time."
"Thanks. I don't really like shrinks..." Celeste answered.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"We sent her to get some tests run," Olivia said, "So, what did she tell
you?" Remi explained what she had been told. Elliot looked thoughtful,
"She recognized his voice?"
"Right," Remi answered, "But she couldn't place it. Still, we could ask
the friend that told her to come he-- Shit!"
"What is it?" Elliot asked. He and Olivia were both facing her.
"Huang is coming over here!" Remi hissed.
"What do you have against him, anyway?" Elliot asked.
"I swear, he's been trying to shrink me since I unofficially joined. And you're not one to talk, 'cause you don't like him either."
"That song you sung earlier is going to get you shrinked," Olivia teased.
"Don't rub it in!" Remi protested.
"Nothing like that's going to happen," Elliot told them.
"5 bucks says it will," Olivia bet.
"Deal," Elliot agreed, as Huang reached them. Elliot and Olivia turned to
face him. "Remi, I was hoping to talk to you," Huang said.
Remi grit her teeth, "That so?"
Elliot and Olivia took a step back, and looked at each other. Elliot said, "Reminds me a bit of Alex. She argued a lot with Huang."
Olivia seemed to think about this, before saying, "Yeah, kind of."
"I've been wanting to talk to you for a while, about the whole vampire
issue. What makes you think you're a vampire?" Huang asked.
Remi tensed, " The others believe I'm a vampire, why don't you?"
Huang laughed, and Remi had to force herself to not strangle him. "If
you don't want to talk, that's okay. I also wanted to talk to you about that
song you sung earlier. But I can wait until you're ready to open up. Maybe
you'll notice that there is another way to deal with anger than imitating
the supernatural."
"I would tell you to burn in the fiery flames of Hell, Huang, but somehow that doesn't seem sufficient."
He laughed again, walked off, and Remi jumped forward, ready to floor that sucker with a sharp right hook. Elliot grabbed her wrists, and held them behind her, "And the Captain says I have an anger problems."
"Oh, come on, just let me give him a mild concussion," Remi struggled.
" Elliot, you owe me five dollars," Olivia pointed out, "But you can just
buy me a drink."
Elliot smiled, "Sure."
Remi shook her head, throwing his hand off, "Whatever. I'm going home, it's getting late, I have to see Renik, and feed. I'll see you all tomorrow afternoon."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Remi walked in the next afternoon, and saw Casey standing by Munch's
desk, "Hey, Casey. Where're Elliot and Liv?"
"Making out in Cragen's office," Casey answered nonchalantly.
"Where's Cragen?"
"Out, I suppose."
"Oh. Did you hear about our new case?"
Casey nodded, "Uh-huh. Anything that can help us catch the guy who
raped her?"
"Not really," Remi answered, "But I was the one who talked to her. We're
the same age, so... Anyway, she has a friend. Olivia, Elliot, and I are
going to go talk to. Her name is Chika Sanchez."
"Good idea," Casey commented. Then she noticed Remi's expression,
"Why are you so tense?"
"I'm trying to dodge Huang, if you must know. I hate psychiatrists," Remi
told her.
"Let me help with that," Casey said, and she quickly shoved Remi under
Munch's desk. Huang came over, "Casey, have you seen Remi? I was hoping to
talk to her."
Casey shook her head, "Sorry, no... She's probably not here yet."
Huang smiled, "Thanks anyway." He walked off.
Munch walked over to his desk, "Oh, hey Casey. And... Remi. Why are you under my desk?"
"She's hiding from George," Casey explained.
"Couldn't you hide under Elliot's desk?" Munch asked sarcastically.
"Oh, have a heart, your's was the closest," Remi muttered. She stood up,
"I owe you one, Casey. "
Olivia and Elliot came out of Cragen's office. Remi bit her tongue to
keep from saying anything.
"So, are we going to go see Chika?" Remi asked.
Elliot said, "Sure, let's go. Afterwards, we're going to have to go see
Celeste."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The apartment building that Chika lived in was a bit shabby, but it
looked okay. When Remi and the detectives buzzed in, Chika's mother let
them in immediately. She sounded weary.
When they reached the section of the apartment where Chika and her
mother lived, they found the door open. Chika and her mother were arguing
about something. Chika had chocolate-brown eyes, and long brown hair. HEr skin was a tanned color.
"Mama, por favor, no invitas a Miguel!" Chika was begging.
(Mom, please, don't invite Miguel!)
"Chika, no quiero escuchar otra palabra!" Her mother's tone was angry
and strained.
(Chika, I don't want to hear another word!)
"Disculpa, SeƱora Sanchez, pero estos son detectivos Benson y Stabler, y
quieremos hablar con Chika," Remi didn't give her name, because she
wasn't actually a detective.
(Excuse me, Mrs. Sanchez, but these are detectives Benson and Stabler,
and we want to speak with Chika.)
Mrs. Sanchez nodded. Elliot said, "You talk to Chika, we'll talk to Mrs.
Sanchez."
Remi told Chika, "It's about Celeste. Can we speak in your room?"
Chika led Remi to her room, and closed the door behind her. Then, she
sat down on the bed. Remi sat down next to her. "You speak Spanish?"
Remi smiled, "Yeah..."
"So, Celeste's okay?" Chika asked, a worried expression on her face.
"Celeste is okay," Remi said, "She's not great, but she's going to be
fine."
Chika sighed, relieved, "Gracias a Dios. I wish I could have done more, but Miguel was here, and well..." ((A/N: Gracias a Dios Thank God))
"Who's Miguel?" Remi asked.
"He's my mom's boyfriend," Chika looked down at her hands resting in
her lap, "Whenever he comes over, he and my mom get drunk... And um...
Nevermind."
"You don't have to tell me," Remi said.
Chika nodded, " Can I see Celeste?"
"Sure," Remi smiled, "The tests on her should be done now."
"Good," Chika said, "Now what is it you wanted to ask me?"
"Well, Celeste said she recognized the voice of the man who attacked
her, but she couldn't place it. Was there someone who might have attacked
her?"
"Yeah, there was," Chika answered, a look of disgust on her face, "Her
mom has this new boyfriend, Steven. He was always checking her out, it
was sick. We walked past him once, and he snapped her bra strap."
Remi scowled, "What a bastard."
Chika nodded, "He was forever harassing her. And then one day, she and her mom get in a fight, and her mom yells 'Go on, leave! I don't need a stupid brat like you!' So Celeste headed over here to see if she could stay with me
for a bit, and she said that's when she was raped."
Remi shook her head, "That sucks ass... Well, thanks, and we can go see
Celeste now."
.XXXXX.+
Celeste was waiting at the precinct when Elliot, Olivia, Remi and Chika
walked in. When she saw Chika, she ran up to her, and gave her a hug,
"Chika!"
Chika smiled. "Are you okay? I called Ryan and Blake, they should be
over here soon." She turned to Elliot, "I hope you don't mind?"
"No, it's okay," He said.
" Estas bien?" Celeste asked.
(Are you okay?)
"I should be asking that," Chika answered in English, "But yeah. Miguel's coming again tonight. I swear, if..." She just shook her head, and fell
silent. Celeste held her stomach, "Ow, I'm hungry..."
"I'll take you both to get something to eat," Remi volunteered. They both
thanked her. Remi turned to the detectives, "Liv, El, you coming?"
They both declined, saying they had work to do, which was true.
+.XXXXX.+
Remi, Celeste, and Chika were greeted outside by two 16 year-old boys. One had brown hair, and warm blue eyes. He wore faded jeans and a green
Flogging Molly t-shirt. The other boy had shoulder-length blonde hair, and
his own pair of clear blue eyes. He wore black jeans and a red Thursday t-shirt.
They both gave Celeste hugs. Then Celeste turned to Remi, "This is my
family. That's-" She motioned to the boy with the blonde hair-"Blake. And
that's Ryan. You've already met Chika, of course."
Remi smiled, "Pleasure. I'm Remi." Blake said, "You look a little young
to be on your own."
"I could say the same myself," Remi shot back.
Ryan laughed, "We're twins. Our father kicked us out last year, but we
were able to get jobs. We have a room in a crummy apartment."
"So Chika's the only one with her family, still?" Remi asked.
Chika nodded, "So, what's your story?"
Remi looked at Celeste, "You won't believe this, although I know Celeste
does? I'm a vampire." Remi grinned, showing her fangs.
"Oh, so the wings are real?" Ryan asked.
Remi nodded, "You don't sound to shocked."
Blake grinned, "In NYC, even the supernatural is possible. Isn't that right, Chika?"
Chika smiled, "Uh-huh, totally."
Remi smiled, "So, where you want to eat?"
They ended up going to a Chinese place near the precinct. Afterwards,
Celeste said, "Ryan, Blake, can I crash with you guys?"
Blake nodded, "Stay as long as you want."
"We're going to need you," Remi told her, "Just saying."
Celeste shrugged, "Yeah, sure. Just call me when you need me, and I'll
walk over. The twin's apartment isn't too far from here anyway."
The all ended up trading cell phone numbers, and then Remi went back to
the precinct.
+.XXXXX.+
"Okay, so what'd you get from Chika?" Munch asked. Remi sat down on
Elliot's desk, "Well, apparently Steven Meht, Celeste's mom's boyfriend
was hitting on Celeste."
"How so?" Elliot asked.
"Oh, the usual," Remi said, "Staring at her in that creepy way. Snapping
her bra strap."
"That son of a bitch," Elliot growled.
"If anybody did that to me, I would hit him in the balls with a baseball
bat," Casey commented. Fin, Munch, and Elliot all flinched. Olivia simply
nodded, "So I guess we're going to pay a visit to visit Meht, then?"
"Yeah, let's get the car," Elliot said.
.XXXXX.+
When the detectives and Remi pulled up next to the run down house where Steven Meht lived, there was a boy dressed in all black, painting the
wind-battered shutters. He looked about 19. He had brown hair, and green
eyes. On his left hand was a cobra tattoo, with it's body snaking around his
wrist, and it's head on the back of his hand. What defined it were the red
jewels it had for eyes.
"Oh, ouch, nice," Remi commented upon looking at him.
Elliot gave her a look, "Aren't you married or whatever?"
Remi nodded, "Yeah. But that doesn't mean I can't notice hott guys. I
want no one but Pheneus, and nobody's hotter than he is, but that
doesn't mean there aren't other hott guys in the world. Pheneus thinks Helena is
cute, but he'd rather be with me."
"Besides," Remi added, "Check out that guy. He's an emo boy. Emo boys
rock."
Elliot shook his head and got out of the car. Olivia shrugged, and got
out, followed by Remi. The emo boy looked up, and smiled warmly,
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, I'm Detective Benson, this is Detective Stabler and Remi, we're
here to see Mr. Meht. Is he your father?" Olivia asked.
"Steven? Nah," The emo boy responded, "I'm Jay Korch. I live a couple
doors down, and Steven's paying me to do some handiwork for him. Mostly he's
over at his girlfriend's house. His girlfriend has a daughter, total knockout. Anyway, he's home, just knock on the door."
"Yeah, well, we might be able to get you more money if he doesn't come to the door," Elliot said under his breath. He banged on the door, "Steven
Meht, NYPD, open the door!"
Silence.
"We're going to be forced to kick down the door!" Elliot yelled.
Silence again.
Remi looked up at Elliot, "May I?" Elliot nodded, and Remi delivered a
good kick to the door, knocking it clean off it's hinges.
"Nice one," Elliot commented, walked in with his gun drawn. Olivia
followed, her gun drawn as well.
Remi said to Jay, "Try to ignore us."
Inside, it was dim and dusty. A man who was unshaven, and balding came
out of the kitchen, and slurred, "What the fuck do ya think you're doing?"
"What's it look like?" Remi asked, her anger rising from just seeing him.
He had on a pair of old jeans and no shirt. Remi felt her eyes could bleed
just from the sight of his bare chest.
He smiled a sleazy smile and said, "It looks like you're invading my
home. But you can invade it anytime you want, baby."
Remi growled, disgusted. She walked past him, into the kitchen. As she
walked past him he ran his finger down Remi's arm slowly. Remi's hand
automatically flew to her knife. ((A/N: I'd like to point out that Remi caries around a silver knife at all times. It's significance will come into play later.))
Olivia's eyes widened, and she put her hand on Remi's wrist. Remi looked
at her, and relaxed her grip on the knife's hilt. The anger showed in her
piercing blue eyes, though.
Remi continued into the kitchen to find about 5 empty beer bottles. Okay.
He was an alcoholic.
She turned, and said coldly to Steven, "So, you're dating Celeste's
mother?"
"Yeah? Her daughter's a babe. Too bad she's so young," Steven licked his
lips.
Elliot's hand twitched, as if he were trying to keep from punching Steven.
Olivia stepped forward, Am I the only one with self-control here? She said, "Okay, you're coming with us." She grabbed his arm, and led him out.
.XXXXX.+
"What are you talking about?" Steven asked.
"Come on, admit it," Elliot growled, "You raped Celeste Smith."
"Hell no. Why the fuck would I do that?"
"You tell me," Olivia answered, "Someone witnessed you sexually harassing
her."
"Oh, yeah, I guess I did tease her a little. But rape her? Nah," Steven
explained, "I can prove it. Thirty minutes before you said Celeste was
raped, I passed out on Selene's floor. I drank too much. I guess that's why
she and Celeste were fighting."
.XXXX.+
"Shit." Elliot leaned back in his chair, looking annoyed. He checked his
watch. 10:00.
"So... We're back to square one?" Munch asked.
"Pretty much," Olivia answered.
Remi was sucking on a blue raspberry Dum-Dums lollipop. Then she sat up straight, "Wait, I just remembered something! Celeste said something about
the only part of the rapist's body she saw was his hand, because the
flashlight he was carrying shone on it for a second. It was his left hand, and she said it was shaped like a cobra, with it's body around her attacker's wrist, and it's head on the back of her hand."
"And you didn't tell us because...?" Fin asked.
Remi shrugged, "Sorry. I forgot."
Casey sighed, "Are all vampires this laid back? Anyway, this could help."
"Yeah, but... I think I remember someone with that tattoo-" Remi was cut
short by her cell phone ringtone which was Swing, Swing by the All American
Rejects.
"Yeah?" Remi asked, "Chika? Uh? yeah. Why? Oh, shit. Okay. Yeah, it's
fine. I'll be right there, okay? Stay where you are. Bye."
"Hell-!" Remi kicked Elliot's desk. Elliot just stared at her, "What? Did
something happen?"
"Chika's been raped," Remi sighed, "I'm taking her to the mansion. If you
need me, call, but I should go...? Bye."
+.XXXXX.+
When Remi and Chika reached Remi's room after teleporting, Chika looked worn out and scared. She was wearing Remi's pants, which Remi had loaned to her. A vampire wearing only black underwear and a top wasn't that uncommon.
Remi said, "Pheneus and I sleep next door, but I use this room sometimes..." She picked Hikari up, "The bathroom's right there. Sorry, it's a bit small, but I like small rooms. You can take a shower, and borrow some clothes. But get some rest now, and we'll talk in the morning."
Chika nodded, "Thanks."
When Remi walked into Renik's room, she saw that he had woken up. Remi helped him out of bed, "Hey, Renik..."
Pheneus walked in, "Oh, hey Remi. Someone said you brought a guest?"
"A victim," Remi explained, "I said she could use my room, so we'll be
sleeping in the main bedroom."
"Sure," Pheneus said, kissing her, "And I see Renik's up. Hey, Rik."
"Daddy?" Renik asked.
"Yeah?"
"I'm thirsty, Daddy."
Pheneus smiled, "Come on, Remi. Let's get our little prince a glass of
blood."
+.XXXXX.+
Remi leaned against the wall in the corner of the music room. Jayna was
teaching Renik to play drums.
Pheneus walked over, "How're you doing, beautiful?"
"Fine..." Remi answered, unconvincingly. Pheneus leaned in, and kissed her, slipping his tongue into her mouth. She kissed back, running her hand through his
hair.
Pheneus pulled back, "You can't lie to me. But are you feeling better now?"
"Much." Remi smiled.
+.XXXXX.+
Remi changed into a black cami and black lacy underwear. She climbed into
bed, deciding to sleep at night. It was 4, and Renik had fallen asleep.
Pheneus got into bed next to her wearing a pair of black silk pants. Remi leaned her head on his chest, and fell asleep, feeling safe.
.XXXXX.+
Remi woke up at 11:00. When she walked downstairs, she found Chika
talking to Kyra.
"Ready to go to the precinct?" Remi asked. Chika nodded. It seemed that
Kyra had lent her more colorful clothes than the ones Remi had. She was
wearing jeans, and a pink Death Cab for Cutie shirt.
+.XXXXX.+
Before anyone could ask Chika any questions, Remi led her into the girl's
bathroom, "Are you ready to talk?"
Chika shook her head. Remi told her, "That's okay. Then stay in here, so
that the guys can't question you, and I'll make sure Casey and Olivia don't
come in and ask you questions, either."
"Thank you..." Chika said.
Remi smiled, "Don't mention it. You want me to call your family?"
Chika answered, "No, that's okay... I think my cell phone's in my purse,
which the guy never touched, so... I'll call myself."
Remi nodded and walked out. Everyone walked over to her at once. Remi
simply said, "She's not ready to talk, so Casey and Liv, don't try to make
her. And guys? I will personally kick your asses if you try to go into the
girl's bathroom at all."
"Yeah, great," Fin said sarcastically.
Olivia said a little softer, "How is she?"
"She's going to be okay," Remi said. She's going to call the others, so
if they come by..."
Elliot nodded, "Sure? Are you going to try to talk to Chika?"
Remi answered, "No, not until Celeste gets here. So I suggest you all
just get back to work."
Celeste came running in moments later, with Ryan and Blake behind her. Remi took her into the girl's bathroom, where Chika was leaning against a wall, playing
tetris on her cell phone. Celeste ran over and gave her a hug, "Oh, Chika,
you too, huh?"
Chika said weakly, "I'm ready to talk."
Remi asked, "What happened?"
"Well-"
+.XXXXX.+
"Exactly how Celeste was raped," Remi concluded, "And same exact tattoo.
Apparently this all happened after Chika was kicked out by her mother and
Miguel, too." She was sitting, talking to Elliot and Olivia. There was a small box of strawberry Pocky on the desk in front of her, and one of the sticks was in her mouth.
"It was probably the same person, then," Elliot stated the obvious, sitting down.
Remi leaned back in her chair, and stared up the ceiling. Elliot and Olivia were sitting, talking quietly. Suddenly, something clicked in Remi's brain.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" Remi bit down on her Pocky stick, jumping up.
Elliot backed up a bit, "Do you always get these moments of realizations
when on sugar?"
"But... It can't be. But, if you think, it all...? EMO BOY!" Remi stammered.
Elliot and Olivia exchanged glances.
Remi picked up her cell phone, and dialed Celeste's number, "Celeste,
you're with Chika, right? Okay, put me on speaker. You're on? Okay, now what
do you remember about the cobra tattoo, anything strange about it?"
"Yeah..." Celeste and Chika both answered, "It had these red jewels for
eyes."
"Thanks," Remi hung up, "AHA!"
"What's all this noise?" Cragen barked, walking over.
Remi shook her head, "No time, Captain. Elliot, Olivia. Car. Now. Drive."
"To where?" Olivia asked.
"I know who raped Celeste and Chika. We're going to Steven's house, but
not for Steven. For 'Emo Boy'. Jay."
+.XXXXX.+
"Hey, what's wrong?" Jay asked, as the detectives ad Remi walked up.
"See?" Remi ignored him, "There's the tattoo, on his left hand."
"Jay Korch, you are under arrest for the rape of Celeste Smith and Chika
Sanchez," Olivia recited, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything
you
say..."
.XXXXX.+
Remi sat on the roof of an abandoned building. Jayna and Feros sat there,
too. This was where they would play sometimes. Remi looked at Jayna, "You ready?"
Jayna grinned, "Totally, let's go."
Feros picked up his bass, "Hit it."
Remi picked up her guitar, and walked over to the mic. They played an
intro, and then she started to sing:
"Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I've been dying to tell you,
Anything you want to hear.
'Cause that's just who I am this week.
Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum.
I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but your just a line in a song.
Drop a heart and break a name.
We're always sleeping in, and we're sleeping for the wrong team.
We're going down, down,
In an earlier round.
And Sugar, we're going down,
Swinging.
I'll be your number one with a bullet.
A loaded god complex.
Cock it and pull it."
.XXXXX.+
"Remi said she'd be here," Elliot said to Olivia. Olivia nodded, getting
out of the car. She looked up at the building, "It's an abandoned parking
deck?."
Olivia and Elliot walked over to the elevator. It looked as if having a
baby in it would make it fall. They took the stairs.
When they reached the roof, Feros started to sing. Elliot sat down at the
edge, as did Olivia.
"Is this more than you bargained for yet?
Oh, don't mind me.
I'm watching you two from the closet,
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans.
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him?
I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song.
Drop a heart and break a name.
We're always sleeping in, and we're sleeping for the wrong team.
We're going down, down,
In an earlier round.
And Sugar, we're going down,
Swinging.
I'll be your number one with a bullet.
A loaded god complex.
Cock it and pull it."
Elliot looked into Olivia's eyes, "Is this more than you bargained for
yet?"
Olivia smiled, "That depends?" She knew Elliot well enough to know what
he meant by that..
Elliot leaned in, and kissed her. They stood up, and left, passing Pheneus on the way down.
.XXXXX.+
The song ended, and Jayna grinned, "Oh, man, that was wicked. Well, I'm
gonna go see Tsor. Later."
Feros nodded, "I'm going too."
Remi smiled, "Bye." They both disappeared. Remi turned, and found Pheneus
walking up to her. He swept her into his arms, kissing her deeply. Remi
pulled back after a few moments, "I love you."
Pheneus hugged her, "Love you too. Let's go home."
.XXXXX.+
Elliot leaned against a wall, talking to Olivia.
"So I guess Jay's going to be tried for sexual assault, then," Olivia said.
"Yeah. Hopefully Casey'll win," Elliot added.
Olivia looked into Elliot's eyes, "El... I was, um, wondering if you'd
like to go to dinner. You can pick the place and all, but-"
Elliot swept Olivia towards him, lowering his lips to hers. He slipped
