Chapter 3
Cragen hadn't told his detectives yet, but there was a psychiatrist coming in to evaluate each of the detectives. It was a new thing the Police Department was trying out- and SVU were the guinea pigs. The woman that was going to evaluate everyone was at the entrance of the precinct. Cragen's eye brows lifted and he quietly told Munch and Jeffries to separate Benson and Stabler. Cragen walked up to the woman to distract her and showed her around the front office. Jeffries got Olivia to go into the ladies restroom while Munch got Elliot to sit at his desk. A moment later Cragen came in the main room with the woman.
"And this is Det. Munch and Det. Stabler" Cragen introduced them.
"Isn't there two other detectives?" the woman asked.
"Yes well… um…" Cragen couldn't think on his feet well.
"They… went off together to track down a lead" Munch tried to come up with best he could. The woman nodded- it made sense. She looked at Stabler funny though. He was sitting at his desk in an almost trance. He didn't know what to think about what had happened.
The psychiatrist was using an interrogation room as an office to talk with the detectives. Cragen helped her get settled in.
"Anyone you want to see first?" Cragen joked.
"Stabler" she said right away and Cragen nodded. He went out to go get Elliot, although he didn't seem in the right condition to be talking to the woman.
"Come in" The woman said as Elliot opened the interrogation room door.
"I'm Julie Moore"
"Elliot Stabler" he said quietly as he sat down in the chair in front of her.
"So, how do you deal with it?" she asked.
"Deal with what?" he asked.
"Working with rapists, child molesters, crimes that are so inconceivable its hard to image its real" she wondered if she was taking him down the right path.
"How do you think it is? It's awful. You leave work feeling like your dirty, like you've gone through what the victim has and you've done what those jerks and perverts have done. The only reason I keep doing this god forsaken job is so I wont loose my mind" he glared at her.
"What about your partner?"
"What about her?" he asked disgusted.
"How does she deal with things?"
"—I don't know? I um, I don't know" he looked down at his hands.
"Olivia Benson is your partner isn't she?"
"Yeah"
"Have you and your partner ever taken a step that you shouldn't have?"
"What you mean?" he frowned.
"Have you and your partner ever been intimate?"
"What! No!" he stood up.
"Why would you even think that?" he shouted as he kicked his chair away.
"It's just a hunch"
"Well your wrong!" he shouted as he left the room, slamming the door behind him. The woman knew then and there that something was going on. Cragen came in a second later.
"Is everything ok?" he frowned.
"Everything's fine."
"Look, this wasn't our idea that you come here. So you be respectful to my detectives" Cragen glared.
"I understand Don" she told him.
"Can you please tell Detective Benson to come in here" she asked nicely.
