This chapter is oh so short! I really didn't know how to make it longer. Well, enjoy! Hey, should i stop putting an Author's Note at the beginning and the end?

Chapter 4:

Apartment of Carl Jeffries

93847 W. 27th St, Chelsea

Wednesday April 22.

Olivia and Fin stood waiting for a middle aged man, Carl Jeffries, who had wasted ten minutes of their time talking on his cell phone with different people. At the moment he was talking to his girlfriend.

"Yeah, uh-huh.. Well if you want it buy it. I love you too baby! Sweetie," he chuckled. "Not on the phone. No my wife's not home. Well I've got company. Oh it's no one just a few police officers. Shnookums!" Fin was getting sick of listening to this guy. He grabbed the phone out of Jeffries' hands.

"Yeah, ma'am, I'm sorry, but we have to question your boyfriend about a sex party he attended this weekend." he hesitated a moment. Jeffries stood in shock. "Yeah, all guy. Right. Ok, thank-you," he hung up the phone. He looked back at Jeffries. "She'll call back later."

"What the hell do you think your doing!" Fin thought Jeffries might be a bitslow.

"We need to talk to you."

"About what!"

"A party," Olivia interrupted. "That you attended Monday?"

Jeffries nodded. "Yeah, Brian's party."

"Mr. Jeffries did you see Halic with a woman that night?"

"Several. Brian's always been known as a ladies' man." Olivia rolled her eyes as shepulled out a picture of Brenda.

"Did you see him with this woman?"

"Yeah, that's Brenda. Yeah they were together." Jeffries chuckled. Fin was getting more irritated with this guy. "Boy, I knew Brian was low. I never expected to be that low!"

"Did he do something to Brenda?" Olivia asked.

"You mean besides bang her?" He paused a moment. "No that's not what I meant."

"What did you mean?" Fin asked, resisting the urge to knock the guy out.

"Brenda is his best friend's girlfriend."

"Who's his best friend?" Olivia asked.

"Devon. Devon Carter." Olivia and Fin looked at each other curiously then back at Jeffries.

Liv and Fin walked into the squad room to see Cam staring at something suspiciously on her desk. Munch was watching over her shoulder. He looked up when the other two walked in.

"Oh hey, you guys find something interesting?" he asked.

"Every person we interviewed said the same thing." Olivia began. " Brenda was dating Carter, that she had consensual sex with Halic then went home, unharmed, and looking very happy. What have you two been working on."

"Well, it seems that I'm not the only one who can come up with conspiracy theories. I'm actually kinda hurt. Without my theories, why do I bother coming to work every day?"

"What is he goin' on about?" Fin asked with a smirk on his face. Cameron smiled, she looked up.

"I think they're innocent."

"And this has nothing to do with those sexual fantasies you were telling us about?" Cameron stood up, and walked up to the bulletin board. She pointed to Brenda's picture.

"Something's not right."

"What?" Olivia asked. Cameron pulled a magic marker out of her back pocket, and rolled up the sleeves of her hoodie. She put her fist up to the picture directly over Brenda's eye. She marked where her knuckles met her picture. She pulled away. The blue lines marked the height of the bruise. "I'm not following." Cameron held up her hand and balled it up into a fist.

"Brenda's bruise matches my fist size. Carter's fist is bigger than mine. A bruise he gave her would have been bigger. Plus" she relaxed her hand. She turned back and pointed to Brenda's black eye. "Her bruise is light, like someone didn't hit her very hard. Like they weren't really trying to hurt her." she looked back towards the others. "Why would he hold back?"

"Alright, but how do you explain Halic's broken nose?" Olivia asked.

"Carter told Elliot that HE punched Halic."

"And you believe him?" Cameron walked towards Olivia and grabbed her shoulders. Olivia jerked slightly.

"If you were to fight back, how would you be moving your arms?" Olivia started waving her arms around madly. "You'd just start swinging." Olivia nodded. Cameron let go. She started waving her arms around Liv's face, till she came close to Liv's nose and stopped. "When you wave your arms around like this, your not going to get a direct hit. You told us that Halic's break was caused by a frontal hit. It was probably precise and planned."

"So Carter did hit Halic." Fin interjected. Cameron nodded.

"She bangs Halic, Carter sees, he goes home, she comes home later. She bangs Carter. He tells her its over and heads to Halic's house, and hits him. Brenda's angry at Carter for dumping her so she decides to retaliate," Cameron starts.

"She asks one of her friends to hit her. She come here claiming she was raped." Olivia adds.

"But she's not very happy with Halic, and she knows a rape kit will find both fluids, so why not pin it on both men," Munch finishes.

"I got one problem with that hole thing," Fin interrupts. "Why did Carter sleep with a girl he knows cheated on him?"

"You never have?" Cameron asked. She looked at Fin like he just sprouted a second head.

"Should I have?"

Cameron rolled her eyes. "Most people cheat because they're bored of what they got. What Carter did was make that last pop like the best sex that girl ever had. When he's done, she wants him. She wants him so bad she'll go crazy without him. So that's how she'll remember him. And she'll always think she was an idiot for cheating on him. Talk to Huang, he'll understand." Fin looked confused, Olivia looked amazed, and Munch looked proud.

Elliot walked into the room. "What did I miss?" Everyone looked over at him.

"Cameron was just sharing a conspiracy theory with the rest of us." Munch answered.

Elliot mentally rolled his eyes. They didn't need another conspiracy theorist. He walked further in looking around at everyone. His eyes rested on Olivia. He immediately turned away. He still couldn't face her. If she knew the truth about that night, what would she think of him?

"You don't think it's possible?" Cameron asked. Elliot shook out of his thoughts.

"After the way she was ballin' on you Monday?"

"It's easy to fake tears, try poking yourself in the eye."

"No thanks."

"I still have a problem with this. This girl was genuinely terrified." Olivia argued.

"Of getting caught." came another voice. The detectives turned around to see Warner walk towards them.

"Warner, don't see you around here often."

"I decided now was a good time. I have the results for Brenda's rape kit. I found a third fluid."

"She could have had sex beforehand. I mean it's possible."

"The fluid belonged to a woman. I ran it against a sample of blood I got for an HIV test. It was a match. The fluid coated the inside walls of her vagina, it was as old as both samples of semen."

The five detectives took a moment to let the info sink in. Cameron was the first to speak.

"She came."

"She was willing." Elliot finished.

Is that a twist? Or was that obvious? I figured it was obvious. So how did you like it, now, few things I have to explain. The line, oh say three up from here, Cameron was the first to speak because frankly I didn't know who would say she came. I know I put a lot of her in here but keep in mind, I'm still trying to develop a character for her. Trying to give people the ability to see her. Also, I got a comment about the first chapter. The last line specifically. Elliot thinks he raped Olivia. I'll elaborate later on. Now raise your hands, who's still reading! Does anyone actually read the author's notes? Maybe if they aren't so long...oh. Um, alright alright I'm done!
