Chapter 2

4 days earlier

Olivia and Elliot stalked through the apartment where they had received a call for help from. As usual back up were late and so they had gone in alone. They had both split up and gone in separate directions through the dark apartment. They both had their guns out ready.

"Elliot!" Olivia shouted from somewhere in the apartment.

Elliot followed her voice through to a small bedroom. Olivia was crouched in the corner next to a cowering woman. The moment Elliot saw the battered and naked woman he backed out to call for a bus.

"I'm Detective Benson but you can call me Olivia." Olivia said to the woman.

"I'm Emma." she replied weakly, "He raped me!" she cried, falling into Olivia arms as she sobbed.

Olivia glanced over Emma's naked body. She was black, blue and bloodied. "It's okay you'll be okay." Olivia said supportively.

Olivia had waited by Emma's hospital bed for hours until she had finally woken up. They had spent ages taking and Emma had told Olivia the graphic details of her attack. "Emma if you know your attacker you have to tell us who he is." Olivia pleaded with her. She'd been pleading with her for the last 20 minutes or more.

"I can't Olivia. If I tell you he will kill me. Please don't make me tell." she begged.

"He won't Emma, because we will get him for what he did to you. I promise you I won't let him hurt you. You have my word on that." Olivia told her confidently.

Emma looked at her and sighed. She knew she had to tell them and in the hours she had spent talking with Olviia she had come to trust her and even depend on her; after all she had no one else; just like she had learnt Olivia didn't have either. They had a lot in common actually. "Derek Willis. My ex boyfriend." she said.

Olivia walked right up to Derek in the interrogation room. After the hospital they had gone starightto one of the clubs Derek owned and arrested him in front of all his friends and customers at the club, a strip club. Olviia had hated him from the moment she had saw him. She now smiled smugly at him. "Why do you hate women Derek?" she asked just as smugly as she smiled at him.

"I don't hate women. I like women." he replied, confident and equally smug as she was being.

"Then why did you rape Emma?" she asked him curiously. "Can't you get anyone to sleep with you, is that why you have to rape them?"

"Emma will say anything for attention. She's always liked it rough then when someone gets too rough with her she claims rape. She's a confused woman." he said smugly.

"We're gonna match your DNA to the DNA we collected during her rape exam." she said stepping up close to him, so close her face was practically touching his.

"You need to get out of my face bitch!" he said angrily to her.

"Or what?" she asked him smugly.

"You think you're so tough, don't you?" he said.

She looked at him. Truth was Derek would be considered a hunk but he was a total prick. A prick whose ass Olivia wanted to nail to the wall. "Do you like to show women their place Derek?" she asked, awaiting his reply.

He was about to reply when the door swung open. Everyone looked over to see a man in a suit walk in quickly followed by Cragen. "I'm taking my client home until you can match his DNA. He has an alibi." the guy said before leading Derek out.

Olivia just looked at Cragen in complete shock. "Captain..?"

"I'm sorry Olivia there's nothing I can do. His alibi checks out. I think maybe you should talk to Emma again."

- - - - - - -

Olivia stormed into her apartment, purposely slamming the door shut. She hated perp's like Derek and she hated their scumbag lawyers just as much. She had a nauseating feeling that Derek was going to get away with raping Emma, something she just knew he was guilty of. He was just good at covering his tracks. There had been no cuts or any other damage to his knuckles which just led her to believe he had got someone else to beat Emma up.

"Fucking coward!" she cursed at him

She jumped a mile as the sound of her buzzer filled her tiny apartment. She walked over to it and punched the button. "Hello" she said coldly, "Hello" she said again upon getting no answer, "Stop wasting my time ass hole!" she cursed before walking away.

It began buzzing again, constant this time. With her gun still attached to her belt she stormed out of her apartment. Once outside her building she searched up and down; seeing nothing or no one suspicious; she walked over to her buzzer and pulled the cocktail stick that had been wedged in it out; like she hadn't seen that before.

Someone suddenly grabbed a handful of her hair and thrust her head forward, cracking it hard against the side of the building knocking her out. The person pulled out another cocktail stick out and wedged it into another person's buzzer. They wanted someone to find her. Then they quickly set off running.
