Chapter Six: What to do?
"OUCH!" Elizabeth Stabler yelped.
"What happened?" Olivia half groaned.
"She kicked me in the shin!" Elizabeth said in surprise.
"Mollie!" Olivia said sternly. Mollie was staring at her smugly.
"Mollie why did you kick Lizzie," Maureen Stabler asked crouching down. Mollie's reply was to smack Maureen one and run away laughing.
"Sorry girls. I just don't know what to do with her," Olivia sighed. "I talked to Sally, Mollie's social worker, two days ago and she says that this is 'normal' behaviour when Mollie first goes into a home. She said the most anyone ever put up with it is two weeks," Olivia told them. She handed Maureen a wet cloth to wipe her lip where Mollie had caused it to split. "Sorry Maureen," she apologized again.
"S'okay," Maureen shrugged it off.
"I think that's kind of sad that no-one gives her half a chance because she can be naughty at first," Elizabeth told Olivia.
"Yeah. Are you guys sure you want to look after her for the next couple of hours? I can take her with me if you don't want to. Really," Olivia said.
"No. It's fine Olivia. It really is," Maureen told her, prodding at her now swollen lip.
"Ok. I should go then," Olivia said putting on her shoes. She grabbed her car keys and glanced at the two girls, giving them one last chance to back out before heading out the door.

"Guys this is Detective Allison Munroe-," Cragen began.
"Allie," the pretty blonde woman interrupted.
"Detective Allie Munroe," Cragen corrected. "These are my detectives; John Munch, Fin Tutuola, Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson," Cragen introduced. The Detectives all shook hands. Suddenly the door opened and Casey breezed into the room.
"Sorry people. Liz Donnelly decided she needed to chew me a new one before I went anywhere. Sorry," Casey explained why she was late.
"Allie this is our ADA Casey Novak. Casey this is the new detective Allie Munroe," Cragen introduced.
"Um yeah. We've actually met," Allie's eyes had widened at Casey's name.
"Oh my god. Allie Sommerville I have not seen you in years," Casey exclaimed. "We went to high-school together," she explained. "So. Lenny or Robby Munroe?" she asked.
"Robby. But I wouldn't call him that any more. He goes by Rob now," Allie laughed. "Hey I could hook you up with Lenny if you're interested Case," Allie teased.
"Hell no! That guy…EW!" Casey shook her head. "Sorry Captain," Casey said when she realized that they were going down memory lane.
"That's fine. Formal bit is done," Cragen wandered off and headed into his office.
"So what did you to piss of Donnelly today?" Elliot asked.

"Mollie! Stop that right this second or I'll- OUCH! MOLLIE!" Olivia shrieked as Mollie attempted to bite her again and when she failed kicked her in the stomach. "Get into bed," Olivia said quietly. Mollie did so without speaking. As Olivia walked out of the room she heard the soft mutter.
"I hate you 'Livia." Olivia felt the tears spring into her eyes. She just didn't know what to do. Mollie's behaviour made Olivia resent Mollie and Olivia's resentment seemed to make Mollie's behaviour worse. She went out to the lounge and sat down for a few minutes before deciding to call someone who might be able to help her.

Olivia was surprised when she opened the front door to find that Elliot had not come alone. Huang was standing quietly off to one side.
"Hey guys," Olivia ran a hand over her face and then through her short hair. "Thanks for coming."
"Liv what the hell happened to your arm?" Elliot asked as he saw the fresh bite marks and the existing ones from the previous few days.
"She bites sometimes. Hard," Olivia answered.
"They're infected Olivia," Huang stated.
"I know. I put anti-bacterial cream on them," she answered weakly.
"Well that's all you can really do then," Huang told her.
"She's probably having trouble settling in. I think you should take a couple of weeks off work and concentrate on getting her settled," Huang told her.
"How?" Olivia asked glumly.
"Routine. You should come up with a strict routine so she knows what's going to happen each day. You know, up at seven thirty, breakfast at eight, dressed at eight thirty. Something along those lines. It should just help her to get on top of the big change that is going on in her life. Also you need a discipline schedule. You need to set ground rules for her. If she bites she has to go into her room for five minutes or something. Make sure she knows what happens when she acts up and then enforce it. Watch Super-Nanny for tips," Huang blushed slightly at that statement and Elliot's evil grin.
"Super-Nanny George?" Elliot asked.
"Yes. So what?" he replied defensively.
"You really think this'll work?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah I do," Huang assured her.
