The brunette walked over towards the door where Diaz and to her, the unidentified man were still in an embrace.

"I've been looking all over for you, devushka." The blue eyed man said as he kissed the top of her head. Since Liv knew Russian, she knew the man had just called her girl. Alex however, was still trying to wrap her head around how the possible Mr. Vazirov even managed to find them.

"I had been looking for my girls ever since a few months after they left. I had sent a bunch of letters and I never got a reply." Muhammad Vazirov said bouncing his leg up in down. His face was slightly sweaty and his eyes were bloodshot. Olivia eyed him suspiciously.

"How did you find our apartment?" Alex asked.

"I saw Diaz' face in the paper. I read the article and well, here I am. I-I guess." Muhammad reached behind him and pulled out a gift bag.

"What is that?" Olivia quizzed taking the bag.

"It's a hijab for my baby. Her mother sent it. She would want to wear it." The tan skinned man smiled slightly.

"I'll go take it to her." Alex said nodding her head in understanding as she walked towards their guest bedroom, which was also the room the girls had been staying in. As she entered the bedroom, she noticed Vega was still sleeping in one of two twin beds in the room. Diaz however, was curled up in a ball on the floor, crying.

The ADA was by her side in seconds. She placed the yellow gift bag on the bed and sat down next to the red head.

"What's wrong, Diaz?" Alex asked in a soothing tone wrapping her arm around Diaz.

"I won't get my hijab!" Diaz cried melting into the embrace.

"Why do you say that?" Alex rubbed circles into the 12 year old's back.

"Because! I sinned!"

"I have a surprise for you." Alex smiled slightly when she noticed Diaz' breathing had gone back to normal. Diaz sniffled and looked to her confused. Alex grabbed the bag of the bed and handed it to Diaz.

Diaz' piercing blue eyes went large with happiness as she pulled a light pink scarf out the bag. She squealed with happiness as she began to pull her hair into a bun to wear the piece of fabric. And in that moment, Alexandra Cabot swore she had never seen Diaz that happy.


1-6th Precinct; January 10th (The next day)

She could feel the eyes boring into the back of her head as she walked into the squad room with Fin. It was like she could feel their pity and their disgust with her. Amanda just wanted to get it over with.

"Amanda, just go right in there and I'll send in Olivia to talk to you." Fin said with a reassuring smile releasing his hand from the small of her back. She had gotten used to his touches, and she loved every single one. Amanda nodded in agreement and headed towards one of the interrogation rooms.

Fin sighed slightly and looked towards the rest of the squad room. A few other detectives and some uni's walked around doing whatever case was thrown their way.

Olivia sat with a pen in her mouth, her eyes looking into oblivion and her eyebrows arched. Fin knew that look; it meant something was on her mind. He made a mental note to ask her later. Nick sat at his desk, a coffee cup in hand and a smile plastered on his face. Fin also made a mental note about him.

Just then, a certain redheaded ADA walked into the squad room. Her eyes were somewhat bloodshot and the dark fading rims under her eyes were slightly visible, even though her makeup did an okay job of trying to hide it. She wasn't wearing heels like she normally would; she wasn't even wearing a pants suit. She was wearing jeans, sneakers and a long sleeved V-neck.

"What brings you to the 1-6 counselor?" Cragen asked. His authoritative voice made the ADA jump. Fin and Nick raised their eyes on the action, but didn't say anything.

"Um," Casey rubbed the neck of her neck and avoided any eye contact. "I-I requested time off. I thought it would be best if I told you in person."

"Is everything okay, Case?" Olivia quizzed worried about her best friend.

"Yeah, I just have some things I need to sort out." Casey tried to smile, but failed.

"For how long?" Cragen wanted to know.

"A few months…Sooner or longer. I'm not sure." Casey answered. The 3 detectives nodded in understanding as Casey Novak exited the precinct to avoid any more questions.

"What are you so happy about?" Olivia asked with a smirk as she looked at Nick's face.

"Nothing." Nick shook his head, but the smile remained. Olivia gave him a 'yeah right' look.


"Amanda, what happened at the party?" Olivia Benson asked with a soothing tone.

Amanda closed her eyes and tried to remember all she could.


One of the men had given her a drink. When she didn't comply, they forced it down her throat. They dragged her inside the house, threw her in a bedroom and told her to wait there. About 10 minutes later, she started to feel dizzy. The same man came in and dry feed her two pills. Her head started to throb more and more and everything seemed to slow down and speed up at the same time. Music blasted from speakers didn't help.

Just then, 4 men had entered the bedroom. 1 was blonde, 1 had brown hair, the other had red and the last one had pitch black hair. The blonde one had light green eyes and spoke with an accent she was intoxicated to place.

"Damn, Marcus sure knows how to pick them." The brunette male said stroking her cheek. He was taller than all of them. Her heart pounded in her chest, she was too dizzy to move. "Tie her to the bed."

The blonde and the redhead grabbed her arms and she tried to fight back. It didn't work. The blonde was quick to slap her across the face. "Stop fighting."

They threw her down to the bed. The two who grabbed her high five-ed each other quickly. She was on her stomach with tears going down her face silent. She felt the bed dip and before she knew it, the redhead male was on top of her. She heard a zipper and her breathing hitched.

He tore her dress. The brunette stood in front of her watching her. She let out a muffled scream when she felt him enter.

"Wow, I'm surprised. Blondie hasn't been entered back here before." The redhead laughed as his friends joined in. She knew exactly what he meant. It only humiliated her further. She had never endured something as painful.

But it only got worse.

The brunette got closer to her face and squeezed her face as she screamed out in pain again. He only laughed. He undid his zipper. She closed her sea green eyes and pretended she was home and safe. Instead of here.


But she didn't tell Olivia that. She gave a simplex version.

"So all 4 of them raped you?" Olivia asked.

"Yes." Tears stung her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Amanda." Olivia whispered.

"Me too." she answered.


"So, you going to tell me what's got you all smiles?" Fin smirked at Nick.

"I can't smile without something going on?" Nick chuckled as he put his pen down.

"It's that TARU tech isn't it?" Fin said mischievously.

"Uh-um...yeah...Sorta." Nick blushed bright scarlet.

"So your banging her?"

"Nah, not like that."

"Hm, that's what they all say."


He raised his hand to knock on the door. His heart started thumping in his ears. But somehow, he managed to knock on her door and within seconds, Michelle appeared.

"Nick, hey. Come in." The green-eyed woman smiled. Nick Amaro stepped inside the loft to see boxes and trash bags splashed around the living room and kitchen.

She pulled her one should shirt up more and coughed. "For once in all the 3 years I've lived here, this would be the first time I would actually get around to cleaning it out. But anyway, what brings you here?"

"You forgot this." Nick handed over a black wallet. He looked Michelle over as she grabbed a stray box and put it on her kitchen counter.

"It's a shame. I wouldn't have even noticed it was gone." She chuckled to herself. "Thank you."

"It was no problem, at all."

Green eyes locked with brown as Michelle turned the wallet over in her hand. "Really thanks."

Now, how she ended up on her own kitchen counter with her legs around Nick's waist and his tongue down her throat, she'll never know.


"I don't want to leave, Livy." Diaz said twiddling with her thumbs. "Vega doesn't either."

"Diaz, sweetie. We know you don't. We know both of you don't. But he is your father." Alex tried to explain.

"I-I was happy to see him. But he'll just send us back again. F-For the money. Please, I don't want to leave." Diaz pleaded.

Tada! Don't forget to review! And leave your thoughts on what you think will happen next. What's going on with Casey? Will Diaz and Vega be sent back with their dad?
