Hey every one thanks for the great reviews, it's always slightly nerve wracking when you first post a story, because you don't know if people will like it.

I changed that part from Nicole to Natalie in the first chapter, thanks for pointing that out. I also went through this chapter again to check for other grammar things it's not perfect but I'm not the strongest English student. Anyway I hope you enjoy.

I do not own Law and Order: SVU or any of their characters.

"Captain?" Lisa asked as she stood in front of his desk file in hand.

"You found a file you'd like to take a shot at?" he asked, not noticing the speed with which she walked in.

"Yes," was her short but firm answer as she placed the file on his desk. He opened it up, and took a deep breath in when he saw the name.

"The file wasn't supposed to be in with that group. I don't want you working on it." He said flatly, closing the folder.

"I think I can solve it," Lisa protested.

"Olivia is already on unsteady terms with you, trying to solve her mothers case is not going to make you popular." Don sighed, no one, not even Elliot knew why Olivia was acting this way, he knew it would take some adjustment he was just surprised that it was Olivia taking the longest, he thought she'd appreciate another girl on the squad.

"Aren't we supposed to solve any case we believe we can solve?" Lisa asked, "please give me a chance." her eyes pleaded with him, she wanted to try and solve this case, if she didn't it would always be in her head. Don sighed once more contemplating; he closed the file and handed it to her.

"Do it, but keep it quiet. The reason for that case being there is most likely because she's looked at it recently. I want you checking in with me on any leads or questions and don't drop any names to any one, this is to stay quiet, you understand?" He sat there waiting for her to confirm, she nodded after thinking about what he was saying. "Ok, be careful my detectives are like a family, don't force me to transfer you." Lisa nodded once more realizing what she was getting into, took a deep breath and turned to leave.

"Thank you, for giving me a chance."

"Don't thank me yet," he told her and she opened the door and walked out.

As soon as she was back in the main office Fin walked up to her, "hey listen, Olivia just had a string of hard cases she gets a little worked up sometimes, we all do." Lisa smiled at the gesture.

"Thank you, I realize that but I'll wait for it to come from Olivia, when she's ready." Lisa told him as she walked out to start her case. She knew exactly where she was going to start. Walking into the evidence locker she opened the box matching the file. Looking through it she sighed, remembering the case was over 35 years old, there was no DNA in the rape kit. She read through the old case report and looked at the sketch that had been done. It was rough, she sighed, glad that the artists now were better. Although the paper was beginning to turn yellow she was able to make out distinct features.

After reading the reports she looked through the physical evidence, there wasn't a lot, she grabbed the bags of clothes hoping maybe the perp left some DNA behind that went unnoticed, then walked out, heading for CSU.

"I need an opinion, age this drawing 30 years, do you think it could be a match?" she asked the tech guy; she'd already been to the CSU lab and printed off a picture from the computer.

"If it doesn't I can run it and see who else matches it, just be aware that it is only 75 accurate." He told her nodding and scanning the picture, "I can have it done in a couple hours, I'll page you." He paused for a moment then held out his hand. "You're the new detective right?"

"Yeah, Lisa Madow, nice to meet you," putting out her hand to accept, he smiled.

"What case are you working on?" he asked turning back to his work.

"A special case, please keep it quiet," she told him quickly and walked out before he could say anything else.

Lisa was on her computer most of the day searching for background on Serena Benson, checking names, people she hung out with, then she went through her case file taking down everything she considered important. All of the groups and clubs she had been involved in, names she mentioned, anything. One club in particular stood out to her. It stood out the entire time, which is one of the reasons she took the case in the first place, New York's outdoors club. There was only one outdoors club with that symbol in all of New York.

A call from CSU brought her spirits both up and down, they found usable DNA on the clothes, but when they ran it though CODIS they didn't find a match. They asked if she wanted them to run it through the database for unsolved crimes. Asking them not to bother she said she'd be by with a sample to compare it to tomorrow. She sat in her desk stumped, she was sure the man she thought it was, had been in the database. Locking the file in her desk she headed home for the evening but not before making an appointment for tomorrow morning. She was going to prove she was right.

"Name?" the guard asked as she walked up to the desk.

"Lisa Madow SVU, I called yesterday," the man looked up, nodded and gave her the forms to fill out, then guided her to the visitors' area. The man sitting at the table recognized her immediately.

"Well, Lisa what a nice but early surprise." His smile made her feel uncomfortable, she put a cup of coffee on the table in front of him, took a sip of her own and sat down.

"I bought you coffee," she said flatly, "do you know Serena Benson?" getting to the point right away, the man put on a pondering face.

"Nope, should I?" he told her tilting his head to the side trying to look innocent.

"Yeah you raped her," he quickly put his up hands in defense.

"Oh no I didn't," he told her, she glared at him,

"Bull shit you didn't, just like you didn't rape Nicole Warner?" she glared her blood beginning to boil.

"I admitted guilt to that one and I'm serving my time," he told her sternly and took a sip of his coffee. "It's cold," She ignored his last statement not believing the first one, the two sat in silence as he downed the rest of his cold coffee.

"I'm going to prove that you did," Lisa stood up grabbing the cup from his hand and began walking out of the room.

"Go a head take my DNA from that cup it wont be a match." He yelled at her as she closed the door. As she was heading back to her car her cell phone rang.

"Detective Madow," she answered unlocking and starting her car. "Oh I'm not at the precinct I'm on the road, 25 matches all male? … well some are too young, listen I'm going to drop a DNA sample off at CSU and then I'll come by. …. Great bye." Closing her phone she turned up the music and started thinking.

Ten minutes of driving and she was walking into the lab. "I have something for you to compare against," she smiled walking in and handing her the cup in the Ziploc bag. The two spoke for a moment, Lisa made a point of telling her to keep the case quiet until it was figured out. When asked who her partner was Lisa smiled. "I don't have one yet but if you can't get a hold of me when you find your answer you can call Captain Cragen he'll let me know."

She went by to look at the pictures, she recognized two of the 25 they were exactly who she thought they would be, thanking him she printed off the pictures and headed back to the office to look into the others criminal records.

Sitting down and taking a breath she looked up the number for the New York outdoors club, "might as well try," she said to herself and dialed the number. "Ok thank you very much, your help is very much appreciated."

"You find a cold case to look over?" Elliot smiled walking up to her desk.

"Yeah, your jury come back with a verdict?" Lisa smiled back.

"Yeah guilty on all counts and perfectly sane. Casey does a good job for us." He smiled, she'd only met the ADA that one time and that was brief. Even so she seemed like a nice person.

"What case are you looking at?" Elliot questioned heading over to his desk,

"A rape case," Lisa answered quickly, Elliot looked back.

"Well I figured that, which case, I could give you my input on it." Lisa was lost for words.

"Elliot you wanted me to do a psyc exam on a suspect?" George Huang said as he walked into the office.

"Right, he wont be ready for another half hour or so, he's talking with his lawyer right now. Oh, George Huang this is," gesturing towards Lisa, but before he could finish his sentence he heard Huang.

"Lisa?" her eyes lit up obviously remembering him.

"Huang" she exclaimed, "How's it going? Since when do you work here?"

"I don't work here," he smiled kindly, "I work for the FBI." Lisa smiled back.

"I'm assuming you to know each other?" Elliot asked quite puzzled, he never would have put the two as friends.

"Yeah Huang was my TA slash tutor slash councilor and I think I was his pet project." Huang smiled most of that was true some had been made up, he had become a TA to help pay for his doctorate in Clinical Psychology.

"You were not my pet project." He said back with a smile though part of him said that, that statement was about more than she let on.

"Oh that's right, you wouldn't let me drop my double major in psyc for what reason then?"

"You were good at it, it just took you a while to realize it." Huang said it like it was obvious. "So you work here now?"

"Yeah, I'm the new detective, it's good to see you again."

"Lisa Madow in my office now," her smile faded and she bit her lip, George gave a look saying 'you've been here a couple days and you're already getting in trouble' she turned around quickly heading into his office, the Captain sounded anything but pleased.

"Yes sir,"

"I just got a call from the DNA lab apparently my new detective is acting strangely." Captain Cragen sighed, "please be careful here, you're treading on soft ground with this case." Lisa nodded, "on the other hand you've made it farther than any other cop has." Lisa gave him a confused look and waited for him to continue, "they ran the sample of DNA right away because they didn't know why you were acting strangely. It wasn't a match,"

"What how could it not be a match?" Lisa cut him off she was so completely sure it was him. She closed her mouth quickly when she saw his look, "sorry sir,"

"That's fine, as I was saying it wasn't a match but it's a member of his family there was seven of thirteen alleles in common, you just have to find a direct family member, a father, brother or son, get a hold of their DNA and compare it. You think you can do that?" Cragen asked admittedly quite impressed that this new detective had made it this far on a case that had stumped him and Elliot for years. Lisa nodded a concentrated look on her face.

Please review constructive criticism is welcome. I'll try and put the next chapter out by Tuesday.
