Background, Chapter 11

A/N: Wow, a lot of reviews for last chapter :D Thanks!!! This is the last chapter for this story. It's been like 2 years in the making, haha. But, I really like it, I think it's my favorite of my SVU stories so far. Please review. I'll have a chapter up soon of my latest SVU story soon. I decided to split this into 2 chapters, so the second part is much shorter.


Elliot and Olivia hurried over to Warner's. Finn and Munch were on their way back to the station and Cragen was supposed to be working on finding out who exactly was sitting in their interrogation room.

When Elliot and Liv walked into Warner's office, they saw two pictures hanging up. Melinda was drying her hands and then walked over to the pictures, pointing to the first. "This is Kayla's," she said, then pointed to the second. "This is the fetus' DNA."

It didn't take a medical examiner's license to observe that there was way too much similar within the two pictures.

"Her father," Olivia exclaimed, her and Elliot exchanging surprised looks.

"Are you sure? It's not just her father-"

"Neither of her brothers are old enough. And we found a check from her father to the guy she was staying with-who was abusing her," Elliot explained to Melinda.

"Okay. Well, I can also connect Wyatt Allen or whoever the hell he is to this. There was skin under her fingernails that I matched to him, and fluids from the rape kit."

"Thanks, Melinda."

Back at the station, Elliot and Olivia nearly walked into Cragen. "We have news," Olivia told him just as Cragen held up a folder with Wyatt Allan's picture paper-clipped to the front.

"You first," Cragen said.

"Melinda already found out who the father of Kayla's baby was. Her father. We also found a three-thousand dollar check in Allen's apartment, written from Michael Harrison," Elliot explained.

"Finn also said that when you guys left they found a gun. They called in the serial number and found out it was registered to a Michael P. Harrison," Cragen informed them.

"Bastard hired Allen to kill his daughter," Olivia shook her head. "What's your news?"

"'Wyatt Allen' is 'Garrett Chambers' and there's a reason he didn't want his prints scanned," Cragen handed them the folder. In it was a detailed list of Garrett Chambers' crimes, ranging from sexual assault to battery to statutory rape. He had at least three sex-related offenses, all against teenage girls around Kayla's age.

"I have to wonder if he ever planned on letting Kayla leave alive. I think he wanted it like that because he's been caught so often. I also have to wonder if he didn't target her because of her weight-he knew she'd be easily controlled," Elliot told them, leaning against the wall in thought. "We read her journal. He tortured her with remarks about her appearance. He told her more than once that no one would believe her because he wouldn't want to have sex with a 'fat cow'."

"I just can't believe her father would do that. He seemed genuinely shocked..." Olivia trailed off. The entire case baffled her-how a school system could allow a predator to teach, or how it seemed like so many people knew what was going on and did little to stop it.

"I don't know. There's a lot of things we don't know, so go in there and confront Garrett Chambers. Finn is calling Michael to bring him in here. He thinks it's just to ask about personal effects...If we had told him, he has the connections to be out of the country in a few hours," Cragen told them, handing them the gun in a Ziploc bag, as well as a photocopy of Michael's check to Garrett.


When the pair walked into the interrogation room, Garrett was calmly sipping on another can of soda.

"Garrett, are you ready to go?" Elliot asked.

"Finally. As long as-" He started but realized what Elliot had said and narrowed his eyes.

"Who the hell is Garrett?"

Olivia flung the file onto the table in front of him. "You are. You thought you were clever, scaring a mother concerned about her children's future. Good thing that you didn't threaten OUR vulnerable lab tech."

"My name isn't Garrett. And I didn't threaten anyone. Not a mother, not fucking Kayla Harrison. No one!" He was getting nervous, and keeping his eyes averted from the folder in front of him.

"See, though, there's a problem in your claim. That picture? That's you. That prison number? Matched up to your name, Garrett Chambers, which matched up to the prints that Wyatt Allen left on a soda can," Olivia explained, sitting in a chair next to him and flipping open the folder. "Sexual assault against a sixteen-year-old girl. Reported you immediately, despite your threat to...murder her baby. Statutory rape against a fifteen-year-old girl, who claimed it was consensual, but after the trial admitted to several people that it indeed wasn't. Double jeopardy is a bitch. I could go on and on but we'll just get to the point: you're a disgusting pervert who likes to pray on teen girls in tough situations. Your first victim was your neighbor who you knew had just had a baby and was abused by her father. Your second victim you knew was depressed. Your third victim was a fifteen-year-old girl you had seen been verbally abused by her father. And then Kayla. You knew she had no place to live. You might've even known that her mother may have physically abused her," Elliot said, inching closer and closer to Garrett.

"My only question, is why Kayla Harrison's father sent you a check within two days of you purchasing a pregnancy test. And why a gun registered to him was found in your apartment. And your alias is mentioned several times in the journal of the dead girl you deny ever have talking to. And! Your DNA was found on Kayla's body."

They could begin to see Garrett realize that he might be caught.

"Look, I don't know. I didn't sleep with any teen girls, they were all fucking lying, and as for Kayla, hell no. What the hell IS this?" He stood up angrily.

"You didn't sleep with them you raped them! And you forced one to stay with you so you could do whatever the hell you wanted for two months. Do you feel like a real man, Garrett? Knowing that you had to beat and rape a child just to stay?"

"Fuck you!" He threw his chair down and shoved Elliot. "And fuck Kayla! Worthless bitch just like all of them. I didn't threaten any of them. Kayla was desperate for any kind of affection. I never had to threaten her!"

Elliot shoved him back down. "You threatened her, and you beat her, and you raped her, and you beat her until you finally killed her. You're going to prison forever this time. You're the worthless one."

Elliot and Olivia left Garrett on the floor. He was obviously seething. He grabbed the folder and threw it across the room.

"I think we got as close to a confession as we're going to get out of him," Olivia told Cragen.

"Yeah. And Michael Garrison is here. Ready for round two?"
