Some people enjoy a little poker on their days off. There are those who do it for fun and then there are those that take it too far.
"Right, Richard. You in?"
"Of course I'm in."
"May as well just hand it all over now, save you the pain of losing." Lewis taunted
"If I'm going down, I'd rather go down with a fight."
"Dude, you suck at this game. You've lost three hands already and about fifty bucks."
"How 'bout double or nothing?"
"Aww, man. I don't wanna clean you out."
"You're all about taking a leap of faith. Prove you're not just all talk. Double or nothing."
"No. Come on guys. Let's just watch some tv."
"I came over here to play poker." Said Richard in a low tone
"Dude, no-one likes it when you get like this. I'll give you twenty bucks back, so your dad doesn't go psycho." Ashton held out three fives and a handful of change.
"Come on, man. We weren't even gonna place bets until you said we should make it more interesting."
"And didn't you have fun, Craig?"
"Listen. We had more fun when we weren't being serious. You've changed."
"My sister could die." He laughed manically "I just wanted to live a little. Life is too short for material possessions." He said the words as if they were poison in his mouth.
"I'm calling your dad"
"NO! You can't call him. I'm going." He got up and walked out, putting on his hoodie and running out the door.
"There is something seriously wrong with that kid." Said Lewis as he dialled a number on his phone.
~~SVU~~
"Hello? Oh, sorry Elliot isn't here... No, he's not here either, I thought he went round to your's. Listen, I'll call his mother and I'll call Elliot at the hospital. Thanks, Lewis. Bye."

Three hours later
~~SVU~~
Richard came through the door and slammed it. Olivia stood, watching him sway slightly as he stared at her. He grinned at her and staggered to his room.
"You do know that your parents are worried sick. I'm going to call your father and tell him that you're home. And what state you're in."
"Oh, Olivia." He sighed and grinned again "Olivia, Olivia, Olivia. I am beyond wasted. A few hours of vodka and God knows what else. I feel soo good."
"What has happened to you?" she asked quietly and sat down on the end of the bed.
"I tried to kill myself earlier." He said merrily "obviously it didn't work. And then there was Ally. Beautiful Ally. She made it all better."
"Who's Ally?"
"My best friend." He started to snicker "She loves what we do together when we hang out. She is so interesting. And colourful." He leaned over and whispered "She is not very innocent anymore." Which caused him to fall back with laughter.
"What did you take?"
"Yasee, I'd tell you, but I dunno what it was." He started to laugh again
"I'm going to call your dad."
"Go right ahead." He said, as she got up, his voice gravelly. He stood up and went towards her "You know, it's funny. What do you see in him? He's old and quite frankly, a total bastard. You? You actually listen to people without judging them. You're a lot better looking for your age than him. But let's face it, you're probably just another whore he can fuck around with and dump like trash to the sidewalk." By this time, he had her backed against the wall
"Richard." She said, firmly "This isn't you. You've taken something and I'm gonna help you get off it."
"No" he whispered and stood inches from her "Because the brilliant thing is that I want to do this. IT'S ALL ME!"
"Dickie."
"My name is RICHARD!"
"Richard, please. Back away, so I can go call your dad."
"And what? Have him send me somewhere I don't belong? I am eighteen next month. One month and then he doesn't have to give a FUCK about his SCREW UP of a son." The dangerous light in his eyes was so familiar to Olivia. She'd seen it in perps' eyes. In Elliot's eyes. Elliot's eyes that were in his son. Elliot's child. Elliot's child who had been poisoned and was destroying his life.
"What are you gonna do?" she asked quietly. He laughed and stared her in the eyes. "Are you going to hurt me? The person who's willing to listen. The one who's trying to understand."
"No. Not hurt you. This won't hurt a bit." He kissed her roughly and pinned her arms to the wall. In shock, it took Olivia a few seconds to realise what was happening and nearly another minute to get him off her and face down on the bed. This made him laugh more. The laughing turned into a deranged cackle. She ran out of the room and lifted the phone. "NO!" he had followed her, snatched the handset and smashed it against the wall. "I know you like it rough. You're 'in love' with my father after all." He made air quotes with his fingers and cackled again. "I'm no expert so I think that you'd be able to give me some pointers."
"Pointers?" Olivia asked, warily
"Yeah. Pointers." He grabbed her, and she resisted. He truly was his father's son. He was surprisingly strong for his age and build. She'd let her partner's, her boyfriend's son overpower her. Twice. This time, no matter how much she struggled and fought he managed to retain control and in minutes had her pinned on the floor in front of the couch, biting her neck. She continued to struggle against the young man who, at this point, had his forearm across her throat. She struggled more, but blacked out.
~~SVU~~
Olivia opened her eyes. She swallowed and coughed. Her throat felt tight and sore. The first face she saw was Elliot's staring at her, confused. "What happened?" she managed before passing out again. She came to again. It was night time because the only lights were from the machinery. She was in hospital. She must have been shot on the job again or something. Or something. She hadn't been shot. As she realised this, she started to panic. 'Dickie'

If anyone has any strong objections to this still being a T story, let me know. I will change it if I need to but for now it is staying there. It's sorta hard to tell when it gets there. On a lighter note my song-fic-story is well under way please take the time to have a look when posting begins.
