Chapter 3

Two chapters in one day that's quite impressive for me, so here it is and I hope you enjoy it.

Detective Fin was driving back from the hospital when his cell phone began to ring. "Fin."

"Hey this is Munch, where are you at?"

"I'm on my way back to the station, have you seen Elliot?"

"Yeah that's why I am calling, do you know what has set him off?"

"The rape victims that we talked to, there his kids."

"Ahh, that makes sense now, we'll see you when you get back here."

"Cap can I talk to you for a minute?" Munch asked as he stuck his head back into the office.

"What did Fin say?" Cragen asked as he stepped out into the hall shutting the door behind him.

"The kids involved in the rape where Elliot's, his two youngest."

"Has Kathy been notified yet?"

"We had two uniforms going to get her from Maureen's school; she should be here any minute."

"Why didn't we catch this before?" Cragen asked.

"I'm guessing Kathy changed her name back to her maiden name when the divorce went through. That's the only reason I can think of, but what are we going to do with Elliot?"

"When Kathy gets here I am going to interview her while you take Maureen and talk with her."

"What about Kathleen, is she with her mom?"

"Don't know we'll find out when they get here."

"Do you want me to pull Olivia?"

"No, we need someone to stay with Elliot."

"Captain we brought in the women you wanted," an officer said.

"Thank you, I'm going to take Kathy to the interrogation room, why don't you take Maureen up to the upstairs lounge."

"No problem."

"Kathy would you mind coming with me, I need to ask you some questions."

"Where's Lizzie and Dickie, I need to see them."

"Right now I need you to answer me some questions. The first one is where is Kathleen?"

"She stayed home with the twins and Rick."

"Munch."

"Don't worry captain; I'll get right on it."

"Munch what is going on?" Fin asked as he walked into the station.

"I need you to talk to Maureen here and find out what she knows while I go back to the crime scene to look for something."

"Have a seat Kathy," Cragen said as he opened the door to the interrogation room.

"Where is Lizzie and Dickie, the officer said that they had been hurt."

"There at the hospital, when we are done here we'll talk about you going over to the hospital, but first you have to answer some questions."

"Okay."

"Do you know this guy?" Cragen asked as he slid a picture across the table.

"That's Rick, he's my boyfriend."

"What do you know about Rick?"

"I work with him, he's great with the kids and the kids love him. Why are you asking about him?"

"We believe he's responsible for what happened to the twins."

"What did he do?"

"He sexually assaulted them; I need to know if he's ever hurt them before?"

"No he's great with them, they are always with him. He's never even raised his voice to the kids."

"How long has Rick been around the kids?"

"He moved into the apartment about three months ago."

"How often is he alone with the kids?"

"Often, because he only works five hours a day, so he's always there when the kids get home from school and I'm still at work," she said as she wiped the tears from her cheek. "Does Elliot know?"

"Yeah and he's not happy."

"Hey Cap," Benson said as she popped her head in the door. "Me and Elliot are heading over to the hospital."

"Okay and Olivia keep an eye on him okay."

"I will."

"Can I go and see my kids now?" Kathy asked.

"Yes I'll have an officer take you over."

"What about Maureen?"

"When Fin is done talking with her he'll bring her over."

"Hey Maureen how are you doing?" Fin asked as he sat down at the table.

"What is going on, where is my dad?"

"He's working on some things. Do you know what happened today?"

"Something happened to Dickie and Lizzie, Rick probably did it."

"Why do you say that?"

"He's creepy, he always wants to put me to bed at night, and he always walks in on me when I'm in the bathroom."

"Have you ever seen him do anything to Lizzie and Dickie?"

"No, but Lizzie would come to my room in the middle of the night crying, but she would never tell me why."

"Okay, is there anything else you can think of?"

"No, can I see my dad?"

"Yeah, he's in Cragen's office," Fin said as he opened the door and walked her down the hall. "Elliot someone wants to talk to you."

"I don't want to talk right now," he said in anger.

"Dad."

Oh Hun, come here," he said as he pulled her into a big hug.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect them."

"That's not your job, why don't we go see them and keep them company?"

"I'll tell Cragen where we're going," Benson said as she walked out of the office.
