Chapter One
It was a busy day at the hospital. Lots of people there, car accidents, stab wounds, and what have you. But today was going to change everyone's lives, or the days soon to come.
"Excuse me, I'm Captain Benson, I'm looking for Dr. Rodgers." The burrennett cop said.
"Right over there," the nurse said, pointing to the middle aged man across from them.
"Hi I'm-"
"You must be from Special Victims." Dr. Rodgers said, cutting the Captain off.
"I am," she replied.
"We have a girl, Jane Doe, around 16, 17 years old. Stabbed in a few places, nothing too deep to cause serious damage, and rapped, she was a virgin, torn hymen." The doctor. explained
"You do a rape kit?"
"Yeah. She's awake now if you want to talk to her." He said, gesturing towards the hospital room. "We'll send the kit over to your crime lab."
"Thanks," she said and walked into the room. "Hi, I'm Captain Benson."
The girl on the bed, had dark hair, brown eyes, a few bruises here and there, and a cut lip. She didn't seem too out of it for the night she had just encountered, but she did seem a bit tired
"Hi," the girl said.
"I'm with the Special Victims Unit, I'm here to help you. Can you tell me your name?" she asked as she pulled the extra chair near her bed.
"Emma," the girl said.
"Ok Emma, do you remember anything that happened?"
"I was walking home from a friend's house, and I turned a corner and these two guys came out and jumped me, the next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital."
"Do you remember anything they were wearing? A scar or tattoo? Anything?"
Emma took a deep breath, "No, but they smelled like they were rich, and were well dressed."
Captain Benson took her notepad out and started jotting down notes. "Were they white? Black? Hispanic?"
"I think one was biracial, maybe black and white, I couldn't see the other one very well, but maybe he was white."
"Ok, anything else you can remember?"
"The biracial one had nice eyes, pretty, the kind you'd fall deep for."
"Alright, this is great. I'll be back tomorrow with a few other detectives in case you remember anything else. I'm going to call your parents to let you know that you're safe." She said while getting up from the chair.
"Wait!" Emma yelled, grabbing onto the Captain's hand grasping for her attention. She turned around, not letting go of Emma's hand, while putting her free hand on top of her hand.
"I- I don't have a home…" The Captain gave the girl a confused look. "I'm in the system…"
"So you're a foster child?" the Captain said not letting go of the girl's hand while sitting back down in the chair. Emma nodded. "Is there anyone I can call? Your foster parents maybe? They must be pretty worried about where you are."
Emma sighed before talking, "No. Danielle had requested I be removed from the house due to the fact her work was transferring her to a New Jersey location. I was supposed to meet with my ACS working today for a new placement, but I guess I'm here now."
"Ok, is there anything else I can do for you?"
Emma looked up and looked Captain Benson straight into her eyes and said, "Will you stay here with me tonight?" The Captain gave her a small, soft smile and replied with, "Of course, I just have to make a call." she said while getting up from the chair and walking into the hallway.
"Fin," she said into her phone.
"Hey Liv," Fin said, relieved she had called since she hadn't returned back to the 1-6 yet. "You okay?" He asked with a little bit of worry in his voice.
"Yeah, I caught a case on the way back. I'm going to be here for a while. You think you can hold down the fort tonight?"
"Sure thing Cap. You need anything?"
"No thanks Fin." She said and hung up the phone.
