A/N: I am SO sorry that I haven't updated in forever. I've been so busy with schoolwork, and I just got a new horse, so I've been doing a lot with him. Anyway, please forgive me! Here's chapter 4!! Oh and I know I hadn't really explained who Ana was…this chapter tells her story.

Disclaimer: sadly, I still don't own them…but one day…ONE DAY, I SHALL…ok, rant's over. Oh, but I do own jake, ana, and the landlord.

Christmas Dance

Chapter 4

The week that followed was not a good one for Fin. It was the week before Christmas, and he was an absolute wreck. He tried to come to work on Monday anyway, but Cragen practically had to have him escorted home. He stayed at the hospital almost 24/7, except when the security guards threw him out. Eventually, the guards just decided to leave the poor man alone. Fin talked to Olivia every day, praying that she would wake up. Sometimes Ana came to visit too. One day, while Ana was visiting, Fin asked her something that he had been wondering.

" Hey Ana?"

" Yeah?"

" You never really told me how you knew Liv." Ana looked at him questioningly. She figured Olivia had told him, but apparently not.

" My parents pretty much hate me. I had seen Liv around, and had heard that she worked in Special Victims. One day, my step-dad tried to rape me. I got away and ran to Olivia's apartment. She helped me get him put in jail. My mom hates my guts, because she never believed me in the first place that he could do something like that, and she blames me for ruining her life. So now, if I'm not staying with Liv, I'm usually at a friend's house. My mom could care less if she knows where I am." Ana replied bluntly.

" Oh." That was all Fin could manage to say, under the circumstances.

Meanwhile, the rest of the SVU squad was busy trying to catch the perp.

" Ok guys, what we have?" Cragen asked. Elliot and John both rubbed their eyes, but spoke.

" CSU found both footprints, and the weapon, which was indeed a rock. We're waiting for prints to come back on the rock." Elliot said.

" Shoe size is a 9 ½. Our perp was wearing Carhartt hiking boots, and Carhatt jeans to. They got ripped a little on another rock and some parts of the jeans got left behind." John said. Cragen thought for a moment, then nodded.

" We've also got blood on the rock, which we're also waiting for results from." Elliot added. Cragen sighed.

" Ok. So we can't do much until CSU gets back to us. Go bug Casey for a blank arrest warrant for this-" Cragen was cut off when O'Halloran came in.

" You don't need it to be blank. We've got your guy. Found his prints and his and Olivia's blood on the rock. Name's Jake DiMartino. He's been arrested for theft, and assault of a police officer. Oh, and he's wanted for a DUI charge too." O'Halloran said, handing Cragen the information. Don grinned.

" Go annoy Casey, then go pick him up." John and Elliot nodded, and headed out.

" Oh and call Fin on your way over." He reminded them. They both nodded. As they got in the car and drove to Jake DiMartino's apartment, Elliot called Fin.

" Fin. Yeah, it's Elliot. Yeah, we got the guy. Name's Jake DiMartino. He's been arrested for theft, and assault of a police officer. Oh and he's got a DUI charge that hasn't been dealt with yet, so we're on our way to pick him up. Yeah, we'll call you after he's been through central booking. How's she doing?" Elliot waited for Fin's reply, then nodded and said goodbye.

" Well?" John asked, swerving to avoid an oncoming taxi.

" No change. The doctors are getting worried." Elliot replied grimly. John nodded, pulling up to the curb in front of Jake DiMartino's building. They got out and rang the bell for the landlord.

" Yes? Can I help you?" John and Elliot flashed their badges.

" Does a Jake DiMartino live here?" John asked.

" Yeah. Apartment 3B. Why, what's that punk done this time?" Elliot narrowed his eyes.

" What do you mean, 'this time'?" The landlord sighed.

" The kid's always getting into trouble. Playing his music too loud, starting a small fire, you name it, he's done it. But he should be up there. If not, here's a key to let yourself in." The landlord handed them a spare and let them up.

They got to Jake's apartment and knocked.

" Jake DiMartino! Open up, police!" Elliot said, banging on the door. When he got no response, he hit the door again.

" Jake DiMartino! Open up!" he yelled. John and Elliot were about ready to break down the door when they heard rustling inside and a muffled voice.

" Hold your horses, I'm coming!" A man of about 25 opened the door.

" Yeah? What do you want?" he asked gruffly.

" Jake DiMartino?" John asked.

" Yeah. Again I ask, what do you want?"

" May we come in?" Jake sighed loudly, obviously annoyed, but let them in anyway. Elliot pulled out a picture of Olivia.

" Recognize her?" Jake looked at the picture closely and laughed.

" Yeah, I recognize the bitch. I saw her at a bar a week ago. Pretty little thing. Watched her leave." While he was saying all of this, John was looking around the apartment. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something that caught his interest. He went over to see what it was and realized that it was Olivia's beige leather jacket, ID, and badge.

" Elliot. Does this look familiar to you?" John asked, holding up the leather jacket. Elliot only had to glance at it before nodding.

" That's Liv's. I'd say it's enough for probable cause." John nodded and bagged the jacket, ID and badge while Elliot arrested Jake.

" Jake DiMartino, you are under arrest for the assault of Olivia Benson. You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided to you…"
