Chapter 4: Takes place between the scene where Elliot got the call of another victim and Olivia at home
"You special victims," asked Dr. Harris at Mercy General Hospital.
"We are," said Elliot flashing his badge. "You got our vic?"
"In there," said Harris pointing to the room behind him. "Same wounds as your previous rape victim and she keeps rambling the phrase 'It's all your fault'. That mean anything to you?"
Fin and Elliot both looked at each other and then Elliot addressed Dr. Harris. "Can we talk to her?"
"Just for a few minutes, aside from the rambling she is coherent but I want to keep it that way."
The detectives both walked into Grace Kelermans' room.
"Mrs. Kelerman, I'm detective Tutuola, this is Detective Stabler, and we're both from Special Victims. We were hoping we could ask you a few questions." Grace nodded so Fin continued. "Can you give us a detailed description of what happened? We understand this may be hard for you…"
"It's fine, the quicker you know the quicker you catch him right?" Grace didn't really wait for an answer. Her face was stern. There were no tears, no guilt just pure anger and hatred. "I came home from work. I'm a chef in lower Manhattan. I went into my bathroom to change when all of a sudden this guy in a hockey mask jumps out from my shower and attacks me from behind. I tried to fight him off but I hit my forehead on the wall. He then dragged me to the living room. My husband's a karate instructor so I know a couple of things. I was able to scratch him. I think that must have made him upset since that's when he punched me in the face. The next thing I know I was pinned and he was…. inside me."
Elliot and Fin both wanted to smile at what Grace had just told them. Instead Elliot lightly asked, "Mrs. Kelerman, have you washed up since your attack? If you scratched him like you say you did we might be able to get his DNA from your finger nails."
Grace nodded and held up the hand that had scratched her rapist. Fin came over with some thin gauze pads and scraped every inch of her hand from the finger tip and center hand pads to underneath her fingernails. He then placed the evidence in an evidence bag.
"You can put your hand down," he told her.
"I have one more question," said Elliot, "but I have to ask. Did he use a condom?"
"No, son of a bitch never did." Grace looked up at the ceiling and with anger said aloud, "that stupid son of a bitch."
"We're gonna get him Mrs. Kelerman," Fin said to her.
"I don't doubt that," she replied. "The timing was just all wrong. I hate what he did to me but I hate the timing even more." The detectives stayed silent not quite understanding. "I'm ovulating this week. My husband and I are trying for a baby. What if that asshole planted his seed in me?"
Elliot and Fin both looked at each other. The case was starting to come together in their minds, the reason why the perp was raping without a condom. He was trying get the women pregnant. The question of why still remained.
