"Danielle!" Liv called from the front door of her daughters apartment. No answer, but they could hear music playing loud from inside. Elliot gave another knock and as he did so the door creaked open slightly. Stabler gave his partner a look for approval. She nodded and signalled towards the door.
As they entered the music got louder, it was coming from the bedroom "Dani?" she called again, this time raising her voice. Nothing, all they were getting was
overpowering heavy metal music.
When they got to the teenagers bedroom, Liv pushed open the door and they saw why her daughter hadn't been answering. There against the opposite wall was Danielle pressed firmly against Gregory in a passionate kiss and embrace. There wasn't any resentment present in the girl after her boyfriend had earlier that day given her a pretty hard slap! "Hey!" Elliot snapped, summoning the youngsters' attention. Both Gregory and Danielle were shirtless, the girl only in a bra and shorts, while the boy still had his jeans on. Danielle jumped at being caught and spun around to face her mother and detective Stabler.
"What the hell?" Gregory yelled at them and attempted to pull the teen back to him. Olivia picked up a top that had been strewn on the bed and threw it in the 18 year olds direction.
"Put some clothes on" she told her and took her arm to guide her out of the room.
"You're coming with us" Elliot commanded and restrained the 22 year old in order to take him with them.
"I haven't done anything wrong!" Gregory insisted, sat opposite Fin and Munch , who would now be investigating this section of the case.
"How did you know about Detective Benson and your girlfriends relationship?" Munch questioned, completely bypassing the 22 year olds comment.
"She told me" he said, referring to Danielle, they weren't convinced though. The team were about to believe anything Liv's daughter told them over the guy they now knew as Lowell Harris' son.
"Cut the crap smart ass! We know Danielle didn't tell you squat! Now are you gonna tell us what we already know or shall we dig deeper and find even more evidence that you've been leaving little threats for your girlfriend to find?" Fin nagged, he hated the guy already and this was first time he had been able to question him properly.
Harris suddenly looked worried. "What? You thought we wouldn't find out about your little stunt?" he added, Munch tilted his head to try and figure out which part of what Fin had said was worrying the guy.
"Lost your voice?" Munch asked, Gregory snapped his gaze in the detectives direction.
"I haven't left crap for Danielle to find! You can't prove I did it!" he was still insisting. Fin furrowed his brow, maybe he was telling the truth; maybe he wasn't the one that did this...but he would bet a million dollars that this guy knew who did!
"So who was it then?"
"I don't know" he kept to his story, but they knew better than this creep.
"Right so, you can either tell us who did it, or we can arrest both you and daddy. Your choice" at the mention of his dad Gregory seemed to pipe down.
"Dad?" he asked as if he was shocked, but they knew he was scared because they were on to him and his rapist father.
"Yeah, so I forgot to tell you that part...we found both your fathers and your DNA on the items left around meant to scare Danielle. I'm assuming that's what all this crap was for huh?" Fin smirked, he could see the 22 year old begin to squirm.
"I didn't do anything" he repeated and Munch stood up, fed up of hearing the same old story over and over.
"The thing is Gregory, we know that either you or your father...or maybe both of you have at least something to do with this. You might as well tell us what's what. One of you's going down for stalking and harassment, you want it to be you?" he asked in a challenging tone.
"Fine. Dad was interested when I said Dani's last name was Benson. Got one of his friends to do some research. I swear I have nothing to do with the photos" he explained, but the two detectives knew that he had just landed himself in it. Unless Danielle had shown him and actually let him handle them, how were his prints on the photos? And more importantly, how did he know about the photos in the first place?
"Did you show Greg the items you found?" Elliot asked her, Liv was restricted to the moral support and 'only question if absolutely necessary' role once more; she didn't enjoy it one bit!
"Why?" she asked suspiciously. She needed to know what was going on here. All she knew, or rather thought right now was that because she had admitted that he hadn't been with her all night that evening, he was now in trouble for buying drugs. She couldn't be further from the truth and she wasn't about to drop him in any more trouble.
"Danielle we need you to answer the question" Olivia prompted, but the girl just looked more suspicious. "Come on honey you gotta help us here"
That comment only made Danielle think; why did they need her to help them know whether she had shown him the pictures? There must be evidence that he had touched them. But to the detectives' shock, the girl didn't look scared, or worried. It was clear that she was peicing the puzzle together as her facial expression changed and finally, when she had reached her conclusion her face relaxed.
"Yeah I showed him" she lied, Olivia rolled her eyes and let out a sigh of disbelief. How could Danielle think that protecting her boyfriend at this stage; when they had evidence that he was involved in her stalking, was going to help at all?
"Really? What did he say?" Elliot questioned, knowing as well as Olivia did that the girl was stringing them along.
"He" she thought for a moment. "he asked if he could see the rest...then asked if I knew who did it" she finished, feeling like she had accomplished something. Little did she know she was the worst liar in the history of story telling.
"Uh huh." Liv squinted, finding loop holes everywhere in this one. "he didn't ask who the woman in the photo was? Or if he could do anything for you...or if you were okay?" the list went on, but the detective thought she would leave it there.
They watched as Danielle began to think again, that was just another indicator that she wasn't telling them the truth; it wasn't coming naturally.
"Yeah he asked me all those things"
Liv stood up and leaned over to be looking Danielle straight in the eye.
"Oh come on Danielle! What exactly does he have to do to you, for you to stop defending him?!" she begged.
"I wanna go now" she told them and stood up. They couldn't keep her there, according to the case, she was the victim and she was a witness. They couldn't keep her there for fibbing.
Benson and Stabler watched in disappointment as the teenager left the room.
