Chapter 3
'He Had It Coming'
Olivia had been shown to her cell. It was a concrete room, with a big heavy metal door, not the slightest bit homely. Not that she had expected it would be.
She had been given a change of clothes that she now wore. A blue shirt with Sealview Women's Correctional Facility wrote on it and a pair of matching dark blue trousers. She had rolled the sleeves further up her arm and she was wearing a white tank top under the opened blue shirt but nothing in the world could possibly make the outfit look good, 'Even Britney Spears couldn't pull this one off' she thought to herself.
She had scuffed her mid-length hair up and had applied darker makeup than she would normally, opting for the blackest of black mascara and eyeliner. She looked quite the part although she now had to face letting Fin see her like this, she was kind of thankful Elliot wasn't around to see her looking as rough as a bears ass.
She had already unpacked some of 'Kat's' things, like some of her toiletries and a picture of her two kids.
As she turned around she saw a women walk into her cell, she walked right over to the picture and picked it up. "They yours?" The woman asked.
"Yea." She answered. The woman was tall and thin, she had long blondish hair that was braided. She reminded Olivia a lot of Casey, same build and similar looks.
"They're cute. How old are they?" She asked.
"When that picture was taken…" she said as she walked over to the woman, "…Deacon was four and Libby was 18 months." She said pointing to the children. "It was Christmas day. It was also the last time I saw 'em." She said as she took the picture from the woman, folded it up and put it in her pocket.
"And when was that?" The woman asked.
"Three years ago..." She told her. "…Apparently social services decided I wasn't a fit mother so they took 'em off me." She said.
"What the hell would they know?" The woman said.
Olivia smiled at her, she didn't know this woman, she didn't even know what she was in here for but already she liked her.
"I'm Laura." The woman said, introducing herself.
"Kat." Olivia replied.
"So Kat, What are you in for?" Laura asked.
"Possession…dealing…mulling. Oh and I killed my husband." She said.
Laura nodded. "Did the bastard deserve it?"
"You bet he did." She told her.
"Well Kat let me introduce you to some of the girls. I think you'll fit right in with us." Laura said as she led Olivia out of the cell.
They walked down the flights of stairs till they were on the ground floor where there was a group of women gathered around a small table. "Hey Laura. Who's the new girl?" One of them asked.
"Girls this is Kat. Kat this is Wendy, Julie, and Celina."
The girls all nodded to her. Olivia just looked at them. None of them looked like criminals. They just looked like average people, what ever that meant now-a-days
"So what you do?" Julie asked. Julie had long dark hair, she looked very petite. She was pale and plain but still pretty. She looked like a kindergarten teacher who had got lost and ended up in prison. .
She killed her husband." Laura told them.
"Join the club baby girl." Celina said. Celina was big built African woman and very pretty. She reminded Olivia of Queen Latifa. She too looked like she belonged at a school teaching kids or working in a bakery selling cakes to old woman not in a grubby old prison like this one.
"So did he deserve it?" Wendy asked. Wendy looked like a typical country girl with a southern accent. For the life of her Olivia could not imagine that women having committed a crime, unless it was going into the neighbors field and stealing a few apples from their trees.
"Yea he did after I lost count of how many times he beat me unconscious." She told them.
"Is he the one who did that to you sweetness?" Celina asked, looking at the cut on Olivia's face.
"No that was the damn CO". She told them. "Parker." She said purposely not mentioning Fin's alias.
"Well that son-of-a-bitch is the devil incarnate, but he ain't the worst" Wendy said.
"Then who is?" She asked them.
Move it Lewis!" Parker yelled angrily at Olivia.
She just turned to face him, shook her head then turned back to face the girls. "I said move it Lewis!" He yelled even angrier at her. Again she just ignored him, the girls all watched, enjoying the show.
"Sweetness you have some pretty big balls if you're gonna stand up to him." Celina said.
"That guys like my husband, dead husband…" She corrected herself "…a show off." she told them.
"Lewis I said move your ass." Parker said as he now stood right next to her.
"Or what you'll move it for me?" She asked smugly.
All the women began cheering, something Parker really didn't like. "Or I'll tell you ADA that you were too busy being a pain in my ass to see him." He said.
"Is that your style Parker?" She asked him.
He grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the other women who were all cheering wildly for her. "I like women like you." He told her as he forced her down a quiet corridor.
"What inmates?" She asked him.
"No whores." He said.
She swung her arm round to smack him but he caught it, he then grabbed her other arm and slammed her back into the wall. "You know Kat, whores like me too. I bet you would if you let me show you what I could do for you or to you." He said as his eyes snaked up and down her body.
"And just what would you show me?" She asked him.
He had just moved his hand and was ready for round two of feeling her up when someone else grabbed his arm. "Get you hands off of my client before I report your sorry ass." Elliot, aka ADA Tim Ross, said.
Parker roughly let go of her and walked off. "You need to tell your client to watch her attitude." He said as he stormed away. "Officer Block will bring her back once you've finished!" He yelled as Fin walked past him.
Fib pulled a face at Elliot and Olivia that said 'what's flown up his ass?'. He then led them both into a quiet and private interview room.
"That guy is a total ass!" Elliot yelled.
"Yea he is but I don't think he's out perp." Olivia said as Fin shut the door behind them.
Elliot walked over to her and cupped her face in his hands whilst he studied her cut face.
"It's just a scratch El." She told him.
"This is a mistake. You shouldn't be here." He said.
"Well I'm fine and I'm here now, and I'm not leaving till I find out who it is hurting these women." She told him defiantly.
"Liv it's not safe for you here. Let me stay here and I can keep an eye on the women." He protested.
"No Elliot this is my case and I'm not leaving." She told him firmly. "We only get one shot at this you guys. We can't afford to blow it..." She told them both.
Elliot knew she was right but it didn't convince him.
"Elliot I have stood by you when you have been undercover, now please, do this for me, stand by me." She asked.
Elliot reluctantly nodded.
"You promise?" She asked him.
"Yea" He lied.
Back at the SVU Elliot was following Cragen's every footsteps. "Captain I am telling you she is not safe in there." He protested.
Cragen just seemed to be ignoring him. He knew Elliot's motives.
"She's gonna kick your ass if you pull her out of there." Munch said in a sing-song voice.
Cragen nodded knowing Munch was right. "Gee thanks for the help Munch." Elliot said sarcastically. "Look at least she'd be out in one piece to be able to kick my ass. Cap I am telling you she isn't safe. We need to pull her out." He said even more firmly and very matter-of-factly.
Cragen just looked at him. "It may not say Captain on my shirt Elliot so let me make this clear for you." He said before he swung his office door shut right in Elliot's face.
Elliot just huffed and swung the door back open. "Captain that CO Parker guy has a thing for her he's the one we need to watch." He said trying a different approach.
"Fine..." Cragen said standing up and walking over to the door. "John tomorrow you go undercover with Fin as a new CO at Sealview." He said then walked back into his office, this time locking the door on Elliot.
Elliot just punched his desk. He wanted to be there to keep an eye on her. He hated not knowing whether or not she was safe. He wanted to be the one there to protect her.
