Ok, so I was bored last night, so I decided to do another chapter. Hope you like it, it's short but it has some info you might need.
The Manhatten Special Victims Unit precinct was busy, as usual. There must've have been at least a dozen cops, talking among themselves, discussing cases and their latest arrests. Despite all the noise, Detective Olivia Benson sat quietly at her desk, deep in thought. She didn't even notice when her partner sat at his desk across from hers, and began talking to her. "How did your talk with Avery go?" He looked up and saw Olivia, staring at her desk, still in thought. "Olivia?" Still she continued to think. She was finally brought out of her thoughs when Elliot threw a pen in her direction, hitting her in the face. "Olivia!" Her head snapped up as she turned to him, wide eyed. "Uh, yeah?" "What's up?" She looked at him and shook her head clean of her thoughts. "Nothing." Elliot, not convinced, got up and sat on his partner's desk, forcing her to look at him. "Come on Liv, tell me what you're up to." Olivia looked into her partner's eyes and smiled. "Nothing Elliot, I'm fine" was all she said as they both heard Cragen call their names. "Olivia, Elliot, anything new on the Taylor case?" "Besides the fact that her mom's an ass, no." Elliot smiled as Fin and Munch joined the two. "What did you get out of Avery?" Cragen asked, turning to Olivia. She sighed and leaned back in her chair. She knew Elliot had told the captain that she went out with Avery. "She hits her captain" she said softly, not knowing how it could relate to the Osborne's trial. "What?" Fin asked, confused. "When I saw Avery, she looked as if she had been beaten." "Maybe her mom got upset seeing her daughter being dragged home by the cops." Olivia shook her head and looked at her partner. "Elliot, there were dozens of empty beer bottles and-" "So you think her mother's a drunk?" Olivia sighed, then nodded. Cragen, who was not able to stand seeing his best detective so sad, turned to Fin. "See what you can find on Sara Taylor, see if she has any bad history with her daughter." Fin nodded as he walked over to his desk. "Captain, she needs help." Olivia pleaded with Cragen, but he didn't know what to do.
"Yo, Captain!" The three turned to Fin as he walked up to their board and displayed his findings. "Sara Taylor. Get this" he said turning to Olivia. "When Avery was in third grade, a teacher reported seeing bruises around her neck and on her body." "How come she never reported it?" "Apparently she tried and was fired because of it." Cragen sighed. "What else do you have?" "Sara was banned from Avery's middle school when she showed up drunk to a school performance. Has been charged with battery before, but the charges were dropped." Fin looked over at Olivia who raised and eyebrow. "But nothing related to our case" she said, slightly disappointed.
Fin shook his head and handed her a file. "About 16 years ago she filed a complaint on someone, but the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence." "Who were the charges against?" Cragen asked, grabbing the file from Olivia. Fin pulled up a picture on the giant monitor they used to view case details, of the person with the complaint against them. "David Ramirez?" Olivia asked shocked. "So Sara knew David? How?" "That's what you two need to find out" Cragen said, answering Elliot's question. With that, Cragen headed to his office, while Munch and Fin went to their own desks. Elliot stood up from his partner's desk, which he had been sitting on the entire time, clipped his badge to his pants, and headed to the door. Olivia followed close behind. When the two got out of the building, he turned to her and asked, yet again, what was wrong. "Liv, I know this may be getting a little personal but-" "I'm fine El" she said, getting inside the car.
The rest of the drive was quiet, as the tension created by the two was so great, you needed a chainsaw to cut through it. "Olivia," Elliot finally said when they pulled up to the apartment building. "I'm you're best friend" he said, turning to her, "tell me what's wrong. Please." Olivia let out a deep sigh and unbuckled her seatbelt. "Nothing Elliot." He put his hand on hers, causing her to look him in the eyes. "Olivia, I know how much you want to help her, but you can't let it get to you." She shook her head showing him how wrong he was. "Liv, Sara's not Serena." Olivia looked at him when he mentioned her mother. "And Avery's a big girl, she knows how to handle it." Elliot opened his door to the care and unbuckled his seatbelt. "She's not your mother Liv" he said, emphasizing the fact that Sara might not be as bad as they thought. Olivia got out of the car and stared at her partner walking through the door, and shook her head knowing how completely wrong he truely was.
Is it just me or does Elliot seem jealous.....of a 16 year old?!?!? What happens when Benson and Stabler question Sara? What is the connection between Sara and the victim? What has got Olivia thinking so much, that she's ignoring Elliot?!?!? Review to find out!
