At the SVU Precinct
Work was slow the next day at the 1-6, but people acted busy. They copied papers, made extra coffee, did small errands, cleaned out their desks and lockers, cleaned the crib upstairs, played darts with convicted perps heads as the targets, wiped the two way mirrors in the interrogation rooms,…..and waited for the final verdict in the Minsum case that Casey Novak was prosecuting. It was a very tough case for everyone involved including Olivia Benson. A thirty year old man claiming to be the boyfriend of a fourteen year old girl, really turned out to be the girl's father. The girl clamed she was raped by her father when he found out that she kissed a boy at her school. The rape had happened six months ago and the girl became pregnant. She says the baby is her fathers and that proves that he raped her, but it doesn't. There was no rape kit, no witnesses, and it was he said she said. The 14 yr old girl was addicted to smoking and heroin, her father made her use drugs against her will. The only chance of evidence the ADAs could get was the DNA from the unborn child. A week after the first trial case against the father, the girl went missing. Olivia and Stabler were sent out to find her. Olivia found the girl underneath card board boxes in a warehouse. She was tortured, beaten, and raped, but the ME confirmed that the six month baby inside the girl had been cut out of the mother's stomach. There were no prints on the victim but there was a person that claimed to have seen the whole murder and C-section with her own eyes. When the woman took the stand, the father threatened to kill her if he ever saw her again. Extra security was brought in for the next trial but did not seem to work as there was a shooting in the court and killed the woman witness and nearly killed DA Rachael Monroe, the Attorney that was prosecuting the case after Alexandra Cabot. Alex was forced off the case after having repeating outbursts in the court towards the defendant and his attorney. Rachael was taken off the case against her will for her own protection and that's where Casey came in. A day later Munch and Fin found the six month year old baby in the basement of the defendant's mother's house, it was drained of all of its blood and had all its fingers and toes cut off. It was wrapped in a blanket and shoved into a hole in the wall. Now, that was all the evidence Casey had to try to win this rape/homicide/hired homicide/obstruction case. It didn't look good. It was now turning five o clock in the precinct and the detectives were getting tired. One of the doors to the room slowly opened and Casey walked in, her head down and her briefcase being held by both of her hands.
"O come on. Do not tell me what I'm thinking." Stabler mumbled staring at Casey. Olivia looked up at Stabler and Stabler did the same. Elliot wiped away a tear that fell on Olivia's cheek.
"It'll be okay Liv." He kissed her forehead then turned their attention back at Casey walking over. Munch and Fin walk over with coffee cups in their hands. Fin handed one over to Elliot and Olivia.
"Here guys. Looks like it's gonna be a long night for all of us." They both thanked him.
"I can not believe her. Munch stated plainly. "Every god damn case she gets she loses…it happens so often it's like a god damn conspiracy."
"Monroe and Cabot could have won this case with their hands tied behind their backs for sure." Fin took a gulp of his coffee.
"Is she here?" Rachael Monroe asked walking up to the group. Munch turned towards her.
"Yeah…she's here and it doesn't look like good news."
"God…she so incompetent." Olivia rolled her eyes when she saw Casey trip and drop her briefcase open making papers fly every where. Elliot scoffed at her.
"Alex." Monroe called over to Alex at her desk. Alex looked up and sprang to her feet to walk over to Monroe. She walked over fast to Monroe and put here ear near Monroe's mouth so she could whisper to her. After Monroe finished whispering into Alex's ear about the likeliness of Casey's loss, Alex's face expression turned to pure anger all aimed at Casey picking up her papers on the floor.
"That stupid bitch!" Monroe and Fin held back Alex's arms so she wouldn't beat the crap out of Casey and her incompetence. After all, Cragen was there, and he wouldn't like that.
"Alex, just calm down." Monroe held tighter.
"We worked so hard on this damn case and she just throws it away!" shouted Alex.
"Alex, be quiet she might hear you say that." Monroe loosened her grip as did Fin as they looked at each other. Everybody was pissed at Casey. Why should they hold Alex down when she could beat some sense into the girl? Fin and Monroe nodded their heads and let Alex go. As soon as Alex took one step, Cragen interfered.
"Ms. Cabot! Please keep yourself calm and collected." Alex glanced at Cragen then stepped back into the group.
"I'm leaving right now, and I don't want to hear that anything bad happened to Miss Novak in the morning." And with that, Cragen left. Elliot sighed as he saw Casey get to her feet and start to walk towards the group of detectives again.
"Everybody just keep your cool please." Pleaded Monroe.
"Sure, no problem." Munch stated. "Right after I show her the difference between Homicide 1 and Homicide 3." Monroe looked over at Munch, took a deep breath and turned her attention towards Casey again. Stabler held Olivia's side next to his when Casey was only five feet away now. Casey Novak stepped in front of the detectives with a stare that seemed to rub every body the wrong way.
"Hello detectives. Waiting for me to tell you the obvious judgment I see." Nobody said a word. They just all stood side by side almost waiting to knock Casey on her ass. Alex jerked forward wanting a piece of her now but Munch held her back without Casey noticing.
"Well." Casey cleared her throat. "The verdict came out to be Guilty on all accounts and Karl Minsum is about to get the needle in his arm some time soon." Casey managed to slightly smile at the detectives. A moment passed by.
"What did you say, Casey?" Elliot asked. His eyes squinted not sure if he heard her correctly.
"I said that the jury found him guilty, every single one of every single crime." Olivia's eyes, and the rest of the detectives, widened.
"Casey…you got a guilty verdict?" Joy was in Olivia's voice.
"Yes. What did you expect? The man to walk free from this one?" she shook her head. "I don't think so."
"Huh, maybe it's not a conspiracy after all." John mumbled happily walking away to drink the rest of his coffee. Elliot hugged Olivia from happiness and kissed her forehead.
"I told you it would be okay, Liv." Olivia smiled at Elliot's grin then kissed him full on the lips. Casey frowned. Elliot and Olivia left the precinct to go out and get some food in their stomachs and talk about their relationship.
"Well, congrats, Casey. I didn't think you had it in you." Fin commented with a sparkle in his eye.
"Well, thank you Detective Tutuola, but what do you mean you didn't think…"
"Come on Tutuola! Let's get out of here and into a bar so I can discuss my previous and awful marriages and the conspiracies that spiral around them." Fin chuckled as he walked over to Munch.
"Thank you Casey. You did a wonderful job." Alex spoke softly and held out a hand. Casey was a little dumbfounded at the gesture.
"Sure Ms. Cabot. Any time." Alex shook her hand and turned towards Munch and Fin that were headed towards the door.
"You boys aren't leaving without me are you!" Alex smirked.
"No Alexandra." The man simultaneously stated. Alex rushed over to the boys and grabbed her coat heading out for the door.
"You did a great job with getting that verdict, Casey." Monroe stepped over to Casey and put an arm around her shoulder. She looked into her eyes and smiled big.
"Care to celebrate?"
At the Toluca Can Techno Bar
"Come on, Casey. Come dance with me!" Monroe yelled over the blasting music and noise. Casey and Rachael sat at the bar taking shots while the techno music started blasting.
"No. I can't." She laughed seeing Monroe dancing already waiting for Casey's answer.
"Why the Hell not!" She grabbed Casey's arm and pulled her off her chair and on to the dance floor. "Just move your ass! It's really fun, babe!" Rachael started dancing again and attracted a couple guys. Casey just oddly bounced her knees and swung her arms.
"Hey, my name is Todd. Todd Tucker." The man smiled and danced closer to Monroe. She danced in sync with him.
"Ello! I'm Vince. I come from downunda!" Vince cut in front of Todd and started grinding with Rachael. She laughed at the way he danced.
"I'm Rachael. I love your accent!" Todd pushed Vince out of the way and danced again with Rachael.
"Rachael huh? That's a cool name."
"Thanks."
"Did you come here alone?" Monroe was about to say yes but she remembered about Casey and saw her dancing by herself awkwardly.
"No. I came here with someone." She stopped dancing. "I'm going to hang out with my friend now, okay?"
"Okay. Bye Rachael." Rachael patted his arm as she walked over to Casey.
"Hey, Hot Mama. How's it going?" Rachael instantly got with the Techno beat.
"Not good, Rachael." Casey whined. "I don't know how to dance to this music." Rachael huffed.
"Swing your hips back and forth."
"Huh?"
"Like Shakira! Just do it damnit." Casey looked down at her hips then back at Monroe uncertain.
"Damn you, Novak. Move your small white ass before I make you!" Casey smirked then slowly started to move her hips from side to side.
"Good. Now move smoothly side to side." Casey tried but it didn't look good. "Come on, Case. Like this." Rachael showed her what she meant by move smoothly. Casey watched her hips then looked back at her face; her green eyes were really brought out by all the colored lights in the place.
"Your turn, make me proud." Monroe chimed.
"Can I hang on to your shoulders? I don't want to fall in front of everyone." Casey blushed. Rachael frowned but smiled.
"Okay. Go ahead." Casey got in her stance and put her hands on Rachael's shoulders. She looked down at her hips.
"Remember, move smoothly. You don't have to rush." Casey looked up and smiled. Rachael raised an eyebrow.
"Well get going, Casey. We don't have all night to dance." Casey moved her hips side to side. She was moving with the Techno beat but was still a little off.
"Here." Monroe put both of her hands on Casey's hips and met her front with Casey's to help her move better. Casey blushed a bit but then got over it.
"Good. Now move your right hip down then back up, but…" She looked up at Casey. "Try to move with the beat. I know it's fast but you'll be fine." Monroe stepped back a foot to give Casey some space.
"Rache, I don't think I can do tha…"
"Don't doubt me, Casey. I know you can do it….and if you don't, we can never be duo dance partners again." She was being playful but it had some seriousness to it. Casey took in a deep breath then started moving her hips back and forth smoothly with the beat then she tried the down then up motion. To Monroe's surprise, and she was surprised, Casey was doing it perfectly.
"Great!" Rachael clapped her hands together. "Now put your left hand on your left hip and put your right hand behind you head pointing out your elbow." Casey did every thing and Monroe shivered at how good of a dancer and how sexy she made Casey look.
"Perfect! Now put on a sexy face!"
"Um….I don't ah…" Casey stuttered then lost her balance and fell. Luckily Rachael dashed in and caught her. Casey got to her feet and breathed in deeply.
"Are you alright. Calm down." Monroe flashed Casey a smile when she looked up blushing. "You're cute when you blush. Why did you get out of the groove when I asked you to put on your sexy face?"
"Guess I didn't expect you to say that."
"Really?" Rachael did her frown smile face. "Give me your orgasm face." Casey swung her head straight up at Monroe.
"What?"
"Didn't expect me to say that either I see." She smiled and laughed. Casey's face was incredibly blushed. She let out a small laugh.
"Well, are you going to show me?"
"Rachael. I definitely can't do that."
"This is no time to be shy Miss Novak." She grabbed both of Casey's hands. "Now, if I don't see that face, we are going to call it a night right here and we've got some more fun stuff to do. So be a trooper and start shakin that ass again." Casey laughed and got back in to her hip dancing with her hands again.
"Now quick, Orgasm face!" Monroe shouted. And before she knew it, Casey immediately put on her orgasm face and it was compelling. Monroe's eyes widened so big and her jaw dropped open. Rachael couldn't believe how turned on she got by watching Casey dance to the Techno music, other people notice Casey too.
"Bravo, Novak." Monroe mumbled under her breath. A man came up behind Casey and started dancing with her. Monroe raised an eyebrow. She kept a watch on where the man's hands were. She looked back at Todd that shouted Hi to her. She smiled and waved back then turned to Casey again. Casey didn't notice but the guy was moving his hands up her skirt. Monroe pushed the man away and told him to stay away. Casey was really getting into the music, shaking her head left to right, using her hands in her movement, and rotating around some. When Monroe was done intimidating the man she turned back around and was facing the back of Casey. Casey really started getting into the music. She started bouncing around, shouting some and really doing Shakira hip moves. Then she did a couple of dips that hit Rachael's leg. Woah. Getting really into the music I see. Monroe thought to her self. All of a sudden, Casey's hand grabbed Rachael's and she pulled her right behind her as she danced. Rachael wasn't sure what to do but she started dancing along with Casey anyway. Rachael and Casey were dancing really close to each other, raunchy close.
"Todd, look!" Vince said pointing over at the two girls.
"What….Is that Rachael!" Todd said squinting then opening his eyes wide.
"Oye definitely looks like it, Todd." He put his arm over Todd's shoulder. "And who's that lil' filly she's with?"
"I think that was her friend that she came with."
"Ha! She looks like a lil bit more then a friend, mate!" They both watched as Rachael danced in back of the girl, both of their skirts moving and both looked like they were having a great time.
"Wow, they are hot." Todd stated plainly.
"Pfftt. You have no chance, mate. She's a lesbian. Obviously."
"Naw, I got vibes that she digs me." Vince laughed.
"When was this? When she told you her name?" Todd looked at Vince then back at Rachael.
"Look Todd…" Vince changed his stance. "Maybe Rachael's only bi sexu…OH MY GOD!" Both Vince's and Todd's jaws dropped as they saw the girl tilt her head up and kiss Rachael, and Rachael had no problem with that. After a second kiss and the Techno stopped, the girls headed over to the bar.
"You've got to get both their numbers, Todd."
"I don't think I can."
"Why the hell not, they are drop dead gorgeous."
"That wasn't so bad now was it, Casey?" Monroe asked turning in her chair to face the dance floor.
"No. Not at all." Casey said seductively. "Thanks for teaching me how to…"
"Shake your ass?" She smiled. "No problem, Case. But did you have to put it on me so many times?" They both laughed.
"What? You didn't like that? I practiced so hard for those three minutes." Monroe chuckled.
"No. I liked it." Casey smiled and looked into Rachael's green eyes. Casey and Rachael leaned over in their seats to kiss each other. It was at a slow pace but they were almost there.
"Hey Rachael!" Todd said ruining the moment for the two girls.
"Oh. Hello…" Rachael thought hard of the man's name.
"It's Todd." He said uncomfortably.
"Yeah. What can I do you for, Todd." She said politely. He cleared his throat.
"Well, me and my buddy, Vince, just wanted to know if you and your….friend…" Monroe looked over at Casey then back at Todd.
"Wanted to join us for drinks, I mean if you two fine ladies want to." Casey smirked and Rachael laughed.
"Um, look. Me and my friend, Casey, will stop by before we leave. Mkay?" Todd darted his eyes at Casey then Rachael.
"Okay." A few seconds later, Todd was still standing in front of the two girls. He looked like he had a fever and was sweating.
"Um…" Monroe looked at Todd suspiciously. "Is there something else you need to say, Todd?" Todd reached in to his pocket and pulled out a sweaty piece of folded paper and handed it to Rachael. Rachael unfolded the damp paper and read it.
"Is this your Phone Number, Todd?" Monroe couldn't believe him. Casey almost spit her whole drink out from holding in a laugh.
"Ah, yes. You don't have to call if you want. It would just be nice to chat, you know, on the phone. So if you two want to come back or something, let me know, and I'll bring Vince too, just let me know by…"
"Calling you, thanks." Monroe interrupted. Rachael tapped Casey's knee to tell her that they were going to leave. The girls got off their chairs and put on their coats on that lay on top.
"Ah, thanks for your number and all, but I think me and Casey are going to be getting out of here right now."
"Bye Todd." Casey chimed. And with that, both the girls left the Toluca Can Techno Bar.
