Headquarters

Elliot- "12 year old white female, found this morning in an alley badly beaten and raped"

Cragen- "We talked to her yet?"

Olivia- "Nope, she's still in surgery to repair her lung, the nurse put her chances at no more than 70"

Fin- "Who found her?"

Olivia- "Callum Matheson"

Fin- "We got his DNA?"

Elliot- "It's at the lab right now but until we can get a rape kit its useless"

Munch- "What about the ally where she was found? Anything?"

Olivia- "There was less blood than there should have been had she gotten the injuries there, also blood drips, leading to the road"

Fin- "Wait, she was dumped?"

Elliot nodded

Olivia- "From the amount of blood and the conditions, CSU puts the time around 5am"

Fin- "But that makes no sense-if she lives she might be able toID her attackers, plus, she's as good as dead anyway so why not finish the job?"

Olivia shrugged

Munch- "What else have we got"?

Elliot- "Nothin'"

Munch- "So until the girl wakes up we've got squat"

Olivia- "Well when she's out of surgery we can perform a rape kit"

Cragen- "This is going to be tricky"

24-7 Shop

Fin and Munch walked into the shop and flashed their badges

Munch- "we'd like to speak to the owner please"

Checkout boy- "uuumm… sure I guess, Brian!"

A middle-aged man came out from the back rubbing at his eyes

"I tol' you, don' be disturbin' me!"

Boy- "ummm it's the police"

Brian- "yea and what do they want?"

Fin- "do you mind if we look at your surveillance recording of last night"

Brian- "why"

Fin- "its to help in our rape inquiry"

Brian- "rape?"

Munch- "yea, girl found last night"

Brian- "what's in it for me"

Munch and Fin looked at each other

Munch- "the warm fuzzy feeling that comes from doing something good"

Brian- "sorry, that doesn't work, if it was green and had the dollar sign on it however…."

Munch- "you arrogant little…"

Fin- "-how about, either you give us the tape or we get a search warrant and come back later?"

Brian shrugged and walked off

Fin pulled out his phone and punched in a number

Fin- "sonofa…. Hi Casey, yea we need a search warrant for this guys shop…"

K and I planned to do this at her house today but her internet stuffed up so we gave up

LawNorderlover01- LOL, being a big fan of this site, I understand your frustration with us for not putting loads into a chapter, bear with us, we are planning to update once a week, since we are writing it at the same time, we are trying to keep ahead of you guys to prevent delays. This one's a shorty but I'll see what we can do to make the future chapters longer.

Somedaycelebrity- we'll see what we can do about reviewing your story, it definately wont be this week though, we are both swamped with homework although K got extentions on all of her stuff (LUCKY!)

DF- thank you, that's sweet, we had her waking up around then anyway. I just wanted to check with you :-), I hope you find this story, we would be glad to hear your opinions and suggestions
