They arrived to Olivia's building 15 minutes later, since Cragen worked in Manhattan, when they got there Olivia was sitting on the stoop of her building with her head in her hands obviously crying, Elliot ran up to her and put his arms around her shoulders. "Olivia, what happened when I left?" He asked with a soft voice.

She looked up, Elliot looked at her face and winced at the bruises on her face, "Who's that?" She asked referring to Elliot's uncle.

"That's my uncle Don he's a cop." He said not expecting Olivia's reaction to be the one it was.

"What! You got the copsm, did I ask you to!" She yelled at him from pure exhaustion. "Jesus. Why would you do that without my permission!" She yelled again.

"Olivia I wasn't gonna let that slide, your mom hit you in front of me and called you all those horrible things in front of me and you expect me to just stand by and do nothing?" He didn't mean to yell at her but he needed her to understand.

"Elliot you don't understand I love my mom no matter what she does to me, she's all I have." She said this in tears.

Elliot went over to her and held her close. "No youhave your father he'll be there and he'll love you just like your mother does." At the mention of her father, especially the way Elliot talked about him,Olivia had fire in her eyes and was furious; she stepped out of his grasp and stared at him intently.

"I don't have a father." She said in a harsh tone like she was going to push him into on coming traffic.

"Olivia what's going on?" Don asked making his presence known finally to those around.

"You wouldn't care you didn't before." She said like if she feared a monster.

"Olivia what are you talking about." Heasked repeating his previous question in more confusion.

"You never did anything to help before." She said confusing him.

"What are you talking about?" Elliot asked even more curious to find out about this girl.

"Remember a case about……………17 years ago about woman who got raped walking home from a party and you were never able to find out who did it so it was a cold case?" She asked in a harsh tone.

"What is she talking about Don?"

"We couldn't find him and then the woman finds out she's pregnant about 3 weeks later but refuses to give her baby up for adoption or get and abortion." Don said almost finishing her story.

"Yup well guess what you're talking to that woman's daughter and the woman's name is Serena Benson." She said with tears threatening to fall at any moment.

"Why didn't you report the abuse?" Don asked.

"Well for one it only happens when she's drunk and that's only after work which luckily most of the time I'm in my room or at someone else's house and because of the obvious one I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY ELSE!" She yelled the last part.

"Olivia there are foster homes."

"You think I don't know what happens in those places I researched that the first time she hit me, you think I haven't thought about running away or call the police?"

"Do you want to report the abuse?"

Olivia walked to the wall of her building and leaned on it and started sliding down. She brought her legs up to her chest and looked at the two men standing in front of her. "Do I have a choice?" She asked breaking down. "I don't want to report it because I love my mom I do she gave me life and most of the time she's nice, what am I going to do?"

Elliot went up to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder as he sat down next to her.

"I know this has to be the hardest thing in the world for you but remember this you have me and I bet your best friend knows already and you have uncle Don and if you tell your new friends I am sure that they'll help you out to."

"What if they don't understand?"

"I highly doubt that."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"So what do you want to do Olivia?" Don asked proud to know that Elliot inherited his father's detective skills.

"This is going to be the hardest decision I will ever have to make."

"I'm not going to lie to you it is really hard especially to put someone you love in custody of the cops but you'll get through it."

"Especially with me and everybody else here with you." Elliot said giving her a kiss on the forehead.
