There comes a time

Chapter 3

By: Kary G.

A/N #1: The song that I used for this story is called "There comes a time" by Celine Dion. Also, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Enjoy!

A/N #2: I was wrong sorry, I wrote this chapter meaning that Olivia was raped but like one of the person that review this chapter told me that it was a different thing getting rapped and assaulted. So I changed a few small things.

**At the Police Department**

Olivia returned to the Police Department trying to find some information about Tyra. She knew that the girl lived two blocks from the Police Department but she didn't know the number of the house or the names of the people living there with her. She sat and let her fingers typed wildly on the keyboard.

She heard footsteps in the distance but didn't pay much attention; maybe it was Elliot that was going to tell her for the eight time that it was late and that she needed some rest. But, it wasn't Elliot.

"I thought I told you to take some days off," Capt. Cragen entered the room.

"I couldn't," Olivia replied.

"I know that you are having a hard time and…" Olivia cut him off.

"Stop! Please just stop," she said trying to control her emotions.

"Olivia, what happened to that girl wasn't your fault," Capt. Cragen reminded her.

"Yes, it was…I should've convince her to filed a report, she knew the person who raped her and I let her go. So, don't come here and tell me that it was not my fault. If somebody is responsible for her death, I am." Disappointed of herself, Olivia walked away from her Capitan and entered to another room that had several bunk beds.

She lay down in one of the beds and closed her big brown eyes trying to sleep but opened them up afraid that the flashbacks were going to come back. The tears streamed down her face, a sob escaped her lips. She tried to stop those sobs but took the pillow and covered her mouth and this time was impossible for her to stop, she cried knowing that she was alone. She moved her body position to the right looking against the wall and continued crying unaware that a pair of blue eyes was looking at her.

Elliot stood there by the doorway looking at her partner so vulnerable and afraid like a child looking for his mother. He wanted to hold her in his strong arms and he wanted to tell her that everything was going to be fine but decided to leave her alone. After all her tears were for Tyra…or something else?

Olivia tired of crying closed her eyes and slept. But still, her mind drifted back to another uncomfortable event and that was admitting that she was sexually assaulted..

*Flashback*

"It happened 4 months ago, I was working undercover at a prison and the male guard tried to rape me and I was..I was ok at first and then…I've starting reliving it. I feel very jumpy, I can't sleep and I…I feel very out of control and the thing is that I wasn't even raped…"

"Olivia, you were sexually assaulted," the woman told Olivia.

"He came so close and there was nothing that I can do to stop him. He had a weapon and he completely overpowered me and I never should've let him take me down there, 'cause I know better than that,"

"Raped victims often blame themselves; you know how misplaced that blame is,"

"I know, I know, I know, I've told that same thing to another women but now I feel…I feel that I don't deserve to be here, I feel like..I feel like he stole something from me and…and I need dealing with it," Olivia finished her story.

*End of Flashback*

Olivia woke up from her sleep with those words ringing in her ears. "Olivia, you were sexually assaulted" over and over again. She looked out the window and saw the sun greeting her. She stood up and went to her desk. It was Sunday, fortunately for the female detective nobody was there or at least that's what she thought.

"Good morning Olivia. How are you?" her partner greeted her.

"I'm fine. What..what are you doing here?"

"Just came to check on you,"

"How did you know that I was here?" Olivia questioned Elliot.

"Once I dropped you off, I knew you were going to stay here. Did you find some information about Tyra?"

"Yes, I did." She handed a file to Elliot. "Just let me go to my apartment and take a shower really quick and we'll go,"

"Whatever you say Liv," Olivia left the police department, Elliot behind her.

After thirty minutes both detectives arrived at Tyra's house. Olivia and Elliot got out of the car. Elliot walked upstairs and was going to ring the doorbell but Olivia stood there looking at the pictures of Tyra's dead body.

"Olivia," Elliot called her.

"Yes, I'm sorry," she took a deep breath and walked upstairs to where her partner was. They waited a few minutes. Finally, the door was open by a teenager girl, the girl was tall. Her blonde hair down to her shoulder and her eyes were blue like a sapphire.

"Good Morning," The girl greeted the detectives smiling to them showing her white teeth. It looked like pearls.

"Good morning. Are you family of Tyra Wilson?" Elliot questioned the girl.

"I am her friend Eva Castillo, she lives here with me. I've been looking for her since yesterday morning,"

"I am Detective Elliot Stabler and this is my partner Olivia Benson," he told to the girl showing his badge to Eva.

"Did something happen to her?" Eva's voice became shaky.

"Yes, Tyra Wilson was found dead in an alley yesterday morning," Eva cried for her friend. Her body clung to the door for support. Elliot and Olivia helped her to the couch. Eva's father hearing her cries ran to her from the kitchen to the living room and asked what was going on.

"Sir, we need to ask you a few question," Olivia was next to speak.

"Ask whatever you want," Mr. Castillo said hugging Eva.

"Did you know if Tyra had a boyfriend at school?" Elliot was the first one to ask.

"Not that I know of," he confessed.

Olivia looked at Eva and asked her the same. "Eva. Are you sure that Tyra never had a boyfriend?"

"Yes, Detective Benson, I am sure of that. She was a wonderful person. She was more into school than boyfriends,"

"Did you notice something unusual the last day you saw her?" Stabler questioned the teenage girl.

"No, she left the house as usual and that's it,"

"If you think of something else just give me a call?" Olivia gave to Eva her business card and left the house with her partner.

Olivia and Elliot drove back to the police department. Olivia was the first one to get to her desk. Elliot came in later with some mail in his hand. He gave Olivia her mail and took his to his desk. He kept opening envelopes and throwing them away noticing that not all of his mail was important. The only important thing was just reminders that his cell phone payment was due in two weeks.

Olivia looked through her mail and found nothing but bills too. Elliot stopped looking at one of his letters, he was going to throw it away but notice that it was a reminder for another therapy group session. But, that was not for him. He kept reading until he read his partner's name.

"Olivia," he called her.

"Yes," she answered.

"What the hell happened six months ago in that basement?" she was confused but also caught off guard by his question.

"Why is he asking me that?" she thought, she froze in her seat not knowing what to say to him. "Nothing happened,"

"Really?" He questioned once again.

"Elliot nothing happened." She told him once again.

"Then, what does this mean?" he held the white envelope that said 'Therapy Group Session For Sexually Assault Victims'

"Maybe they put my name by mistake, you know it happens all the time," the silence in the room make Olivia uncomfortable. She turned on the radio and stood up and excused herself telling her partner that she was going to the bathroom but Elliot took her by the arm and sat her on his desk blocking her way by putting himself in front of her.

"Olivia, what the hell happened six months ago? Why are you so distracted that easily? When I told you about Tyra's death you almost fainted. So don't tell me that nothing is going on because is obvious that something is going on," he stated.

Let me be your soldier
I
'll stand up for you
When your world comes crashing down
I'll be the one to hold you
Let me be your soldier
I'll fight the fight for you
When you're up against the wall
I will pull you through

"Let me go! Nothing happened!" the tears welled up in her eyes. Elliot noticed it.

"Please, talk to me," he said gently whipping the tears that were streaming down her face.

"I can't…I can't Elliot," she said looking at the floor and trying to avoid his touch.

There comes a time
In everybody
's life
When alone is not enough
To make things right
There comes a time
When we need to ask for help
When you're lost and just not strong enough
To make it through the night
When your love is on the frontline…

"Look at me," he lifted her chin so she could look at him. "You can tell me anything, you know that, right?"

"Yes Elliot but this…this is too much for me to bear," she confessed to him.

Let me be your soldier
I
'll take the pain for you
When no one else is on your side
I'll defend you
Let me be your soldier
I'll carry the cross for you
When you're down and on your knees
I'll protect you

"Liv, do you trust me?"

"Yes, with my life," she answered.

"Then trust me now. What did Lowell Harris do to you in that basement?" Elliot had to ask, he tried to hide the fear that was rising through his voice.

There comes a time
In everybody
's life
When alone is not enough
To make things right
There comes a time
When we need to ask for help
When we're lost and just not strong enough
To make it through the night
When your love is on the frontline…
Let me be your soldier

"There was an outbreak in Sealview Prison. Something about a vaccine that Fin told me. After the outbreak was "under control" an officer handcuffed me and then Lowell approached and told me that he was going to take to a place called "The Hole" we walked downstairs and I told him that it was not where he was supposed to take me…I apologize but he threw me to a mattress that was on the floor and I hit him. I tried to escape…" her voice trailed off and the sobs came again.

"And?" Elliot encouraged her to finish the story even though it was painful for her.

"And he…" Olivia closed her eyes remembering her cries for help. "He..oh Elliot….he sexually assaulted me," Elliot embraced her and let her cry in his shoulder. She cried like she never cry before. He knew she was going to need all the help she could get.

There comes a time
In everybody
's life
When alone is not enough
To make things right
There comes a time
When we need to ask for help
When we're lost and just not strong enough
To make it through the night
When your love is on the frontline
When your love is on the frontline
When your love is on the frontline…

"Why me...this was not supposed…to...to happen…why?" Olivia said between sobs.

"Shh, it's ok." He kissed her chestnut hair and kept talking near her ear telling her that everything was going to be ok and that he was going to help her get through this.

Let me be your soldier,
I'll die for you…

Elliot kept talking softly in her ear. His hand massaged her back. Olivia cried in his shoulder. He could feel his shirt wet of her tears and that only make Elliot to hug her tightly. Olivia felt so safe and protected in his arms. She wanted to let go but it was hard to explain and it was also hard for her to avoid his arms. Both partners were so lost in their own thought with lots of emotions that they did not hear what the announcer said in the radio.

"Ladies and gentlemen we have breaking news. Five inmates escaped from Prison. These persons are very dangerous. The only information that we have right now is that three of the inmates are murderers and the other two are rapists. We'll let you know more on this breaking news in a few more minutes…."

The End.
