"All right, Ali, we need to know your phone number," Olivia said.

"Do you have to call my parents?" Ali asked with a worried look in her eye.

"Is there a reason that you don't want your parents here?" Elliot asked like he was getting what was going on.

"I just…they…they're just going to totally overreact, I don't want them to make a scene. They'll kill me when they find out I had drugs in me," Ali said looking down and clenching her hands.

"It's 555-295-2843," Ali said with haste.

"Ali, did you take any drugs last night?" Elliot asked.

"No, I told you. I went to the park, then a party, I had some Pepsi but that's it," Ali said truthfully.

Elliot knew for the most part when teenagers were lying, this looked genuine.

"A party, you didn't tell us that before." Elliot raised an eyebrow.

"Ok, I went to a party." Ali admitted,

"All right, did you leave your Pepsi unattended?" Elliot asked as he came closer to her and his eyes searched Ali's pale face.

"I don't…I don't remember," Ali said as she covered her eye with her hand near her head as she was trying to think.

"Okay…okay we are going to tell your parents that someone could have put that drug in your drink, we'll explain the situation, I'm sure they'll understand," Elliot said calmly.

"Yeah, right," Ali said sarcastically almost with despair.

"Did you ever take any drugs before, Ali?" Elliot asked concerned.

"No, I swear I get natural euphoria from certain—"Ali paused.

"Certain what?" Olivia asked.

"Nothing, but it's not drugs," Ali said quickly with almost panic.

"Alright, I'm going to call your parents," Elliot said.

Elliot walked out of the hospital visiting room to a nearby area where coffee could be gotten from the machines, and other drinks.

Elliot got out his cell phone and dialed the number in.

"What!" the answerer asked with anger and exhaustion.

"May I ask who is speaking?" Elliot asked with this look in his eye of bewilderment.

"This is Mr. Laos, owner of the house, who the hell are you?" Mr. Laos asked rudely.

"This is Detective Stabler calling from St. Mary's Hospital, your daughter was found in an alley after she passed out, she was under the influence of LSD—"Elliot was explaining formerly to the supposed parent.

"She what!" Mr. Laos asked.

"She says she doesn't remember what happened—"Elliot said.

"Oh I'll make her remember!" Mr. Laos said haughtily.

"Okay…we need you or Mrs. Laos, or both to come and see your daughter, one of us will be by the entrance to guide to where she is," Elliot said.

"KENDRA! PICK UP ALI AT THE HOSPITAL!" Mr. Laos yelled out.

"Why, what the hell happened to the bitch?" Kendra asked.

"Just pick her up!" Mr. Laos said.

"My wife will come pick her up," Mr. Laos said as if he wanted to get off the phone from being vexed too much.

Mr. Laos hung up the phone.

"Nice parents, maybe that's why Ali cuts herself?" Elliot thought. He walked back into the room to see Ali crying on Brian's shoulder again. Olivia was rubbing her back.


"Ali, I just spoke with your Dad, your Mom is on the way." He informed her. He left out the part with the yelling and talks of possible neglect.

"My Mom?" she looked up from Brian's shoulder.

"Yeah, she's on her way." Ali moaned and snuggled her head back into Brian's shoulder.

"How did she sound?" she asked.

"Well, she sounded kind of angry." Elliot admitted. Ali muttered something Elliot couldn't understand.

"Did they say anything about Hallie?"

"Who?"

"Hallie, is she coming?"

"Ali, who is Hallie?"

"Hallie is my twin sister, we only have each other."

"I didn't hear that name, sorry."

"I should go down and greet your Mom." Elliot told her as he walked towards the door.

"Be careful." Ali warned.

"What?" But Ali didn't reply she sat on the bed next to Brian and Olivia and wimpered.


"Mrs. Laos?" Elliot asked when he saw an angry woman walk through the door. Behind her was a girl that looked like Ali.

Must be Hallie, He thought.

"I'm Kendra Laos, where's Ali!" she screamed.

"Hallie, call your Dad and tell him to get the chair!" she barked at the kid.

"Mrs. Laos, Ali is in her room, if you would follow me I could sh-."

"I want to see her now!" Kendra cut him off mid-sentence.

"Alright, you can come right in," Elliot said.

"You fucking piece of trash, becoming a junkie! What the fuck is wrong with you, you slut. They found you without any clothes, having sex with guys, 13, and this is what you're doing! You're disgusting!" Mrs. Laos yelled.

"Mom, stop it!" Hallie said.

"Shut up; don't tell me what to do!" Mrs. Laos said.

"Okay, let's calm down here," Brian said with this look of like what the heck is wrong with the mom.

Mr. Laos walked in at that time.

"Come here, stand up! Stand up Ali, don't make me make you fucking slut!" Mr. Laos was trying to pull her out of the bed.

"Excuse me, Ali is of no condition of you pulling her out of bed," Elliot said as he pulled Mr. Laos off of Ali.

"I see some issues with family dynamics," Olivia whispered to Brian. They continued to watch the fight between the Laos'.

"Ali, get up and get dressed!" Mrs. Laos yelled, "Hallie, grab an arm!" Hallie looked worried and confused. Her eyes begged Elliot and Brian to help.

"Mr. and Mrs. Laos please, Ali needs to stay here for awhile." Elliot informed them.

"Listen, I got a call from you earlier, saying my daughter was in the hospital under the influence of drugs! And she wasn't wearing any clothing; don't tell me what to do!" Mr. Laos yelled.

"Mr. Laos!" Brian yelled, helping Elliot pull him off of Ali.

"Hallie, go in and help your father!" Kendra yelled. Hallie looked with pleading eyes at Olivia, who was going to help.

"Mr. and Mrs. Laos!" Olivia yelled pulling out her handcuffs.

"You are under arrest!" she yelled cuffing Mrs. Laos, while Elliot did Mr. Laos.

"For what?" they both asked.
