So here I am, in SVU's interrogation room. No one has talked to me yet, and I've been here for almost 5 hours. It's around 1 in the morning, and Casey dragged me in here at around 8. Five hours of loneliness after what I just went through with my sister, great...

"You know that you're boss isn't going to let you represent us in this case" Cragen said "You know that right?"

"I don't care, because I'll still be against the defendant" Casey said "I mean, isn't that my job?"

"Casey..."

"Let me tell you something, Captain. I don't want to be rude, but you have no idea what I'm doing. I'm pretty sure that if Danielle only talks to me, then she's not going to testify in court."

The Captain looks through the window and sees Olivia walk in the interrogation room with some food.

"Is she always that quiet?"

"She rarely talks to people she doesn't know, unless it's at school or something" Casey said "I bet that Olivia won't be able to get anything out of her."

"Well, let's see how Olivia does without you" the captain said "And if this doesn't go anywhere and if Olivia needs help, we'll send you in with her."

"Thanks" Danielle said quietly as she grabbed the tray of food that Olivia gave her. She ate it slowly as Olivia looked at her. This made Danielle uncomfortable; she disliked the confrontations with her sister, and she knows that any other confrontation with anyone else would be awkward.

"Danielle, can you tell me what happened?" Olivia asked.

Danielle continued eating her food and didn't say anything. Casey warned Olivia that her younger sister was shy and hated talks as serious as this, but Olivia needed to push so she can get something, about what happened.

"You know, if you don't talk about what happened, it's going to bottle up inside..."

"No shit. Did you honestly think I didn't know that?"

Olivia was taken back by Danielle's comment. She didn't know that Casey's younger sister could have an attitude.

"Danielle..."

"Look, can you just leave me alone? I don't want to talk about it" Danielle said "The only reason I'm here is because my stupid sister dragged me here..."

"I don't think Casey is stupid."

"That's only because you work with her. Try being her sister."

Olivia smiled as she watched Danielle finished eating.

"You know, I have a step-brother..."

Danielle turned to Olivia with an interesting look on her face.

"I didn't know you had a sibling."

"I didn't know either until he called me, asking for help" Olivia said.

"You're going to try and connect your life to mine, great"

"The point I'm trying to make is that Casey is trying to help you."

"Yeah, some help she's been..."

Danielle didn't say anything else as she looked to the floor. Olivia got up from the chair, left the interrogation room, and joined the Captain and Casey, who watched the entire interview.

"Well, she doesn't want to talk about it" Olivia said.

"I think the only think she wants to talk about is how I suck at being a sister..."

"You're doing everything you can, Case. Don't blame yourself for any of this" Olivia said.

"Well, unless Danielle says something to you or Casey, we don't have a case" Cragen said.

Cragen and Olivia looked at Casey, and saw that she was thinking.

"Casey, what are you thinking about?" Olivia said.

I'm thinking about writing up a warrant."

"For who and why?" the captain asked.

"I have a feeling that Danielle would write this in her journal" Casey said "I know her; I know that she would write about this..."

"But is it probable cause for a warrant?" the captain asked.

"I know it is. It was used in family court for evidence."

"Well, as long as you follow the law, Casey; I see no reason why you couldn't write up a warrant."
