"We recommend you stay here for the night but you can go if you'd like." The nurse who was with me the entire 5 hours it took to get the swabs, tests, medicine, and photos done says.

"Finally." I mutter, gathering my things in a pile. I move to the door and when I open it I spot detective Carisi standing next to it with his foot propped against the wall. "I'm done detective. Thanks for waiting."

"I told you I'd be here for you." He returns. "You sure you don't want to stay for the night?" He asks.

I shake my head "No, I just want to get a cab and get home." I rub my arm, wishing I had my jacket. Even though the clothes I was wearing wasn't what I was in during the attack they wanted to keep it for evidence anyway.

"Well, your apartment is now a crime scene so you can't go home just yet." He says slugging out of his jacket and placing it over my shoulders.

I roll my eyes "now I'm put out of my own place, great."

"Is there anyone you can call? Mom, sibling, friend?" He asks.

I shake my head "no, it's just me. I just moved to the city a few months back." I tell him honestly. I was an only child and my parents have been gone for years. I haven't made many friends out here, at least not any I would want to stay with during this.

He nods "well, the department will put you up in a hotel until you can go back" he informs "let's get back to the precinct and take your statement."

I nod and we walk to the front desk to sign myself out. The ride back to the precinct is slow and quiet. Once inside, I am seated back in the lieutenant's office and the detective sits next to me. Lieutenant Benson speaks softly "start from the beginning, how did you meet Jason?"

I sigh, thinking back to a few days ago "I knew him from college. We went to Stanford together. I haven't talked to him in years." I start explaining "he called me on Monday, told me he heard I was back in the city and wanted to meet up."

"Just like that, out of nowhere?" She asks me.

I eye her, not liking her tone "yes, out of nowhere. We haven't talked in years but we did used to have a thing our freshman year. What are you implying, I asked for this to happen to me?" I defend myself.

Detective Carisi jumps in "hey, hey, calm down. She's just asking questions. We're on your side here, we just need to cover all our basis." He tells me.

"Okay." I exhale slowly through my nose before starting again "we got together for dinner and he asked me to help him write a speech."

"A speech? For what?" Benson asks.

I explain "he was being honored for some humanitarian award, something to do with animals."

"He wanted you to write his speech? Why?" The detective asks.

I look to him "I used to help him write his essays in college. He may have been at Stanford but he wasn't the brightest of students."

"Okay, so you helped him write the speech?" The lieutenant asks.

"Yes, after dinner we went back to my apartment and wrote the speech together." I say.

"That's when he raped you?" She asked me next.

I shake my head "no, it was 2 nights later. He invited me as his date to the ceremony. I guess I drank too much and left early."

"So he took you home?" She asks more questions.

"No. He asked a driver to do it." I shake my head, the memory there but still a bit blurry. "I was dizzy and trying to stay up, not wanting a hang over when there was a knock on the door. When I went to open it I was pushed inside and attacked."

Carisi now asks "did he say anything to you?"

"No. He had a mask on, he just pushed me down--" I'm interrupted before finishing my sentence.

"Wait, he was wearing a mask? How do you know it was him then?" Lieutenant Benson asks me, her eyes concerned.

"Because the camera outside my door caught him on tape! He knocked on the door then put the mask on before I answered." I explain.

She looks to detective Carisi now "well, if it that's the case then CSU should have the tape and we should be set." She looks back to me now "you did really good Addison, really good. Now, what happened next?" She asks.

"Wait, I have to still tell you what happened? Isn't that enough?" I ask, really not ready to relive it all over again.

This time she shakes her head "we need to know everything. I know this is going to be hard for you, so take your time." Her voice is softer then it has been. I nod once and slowly begin to go over the gruesome details of my rape.
