A/N: olivia-benson1 was having a bit of a writer's block for this chapter, so she asked me, SilvrBlade, for a little help. So, I helped write this chapter to help my friend. I hope it's not disappointing! J
"Liv I know this is really hard for you," Cragen began, "but you need to tell me exactly what happened."
"I was going to work early, so I could get my reports done so I could surprise Mel for a romantic lunch," she said, still crying. "And then I felt like someone was behind me, and when I turned around a man was staring at me."
Just then Mel walked in and Olivia ran into her arms. "He knew my name!" Olivia sobbed into her shoulder. "He hit me in the stomach, causing me pain. Then he dragged me in to an alley, and I begged for him to stop but he said I deserved it for many reasons. He then cut my clothes off with a knife and then cut my thigh."
By now she was sobbing uncontrollably, and Melinda stroked her hair in an attempt to calm her down.
"It's okay, Liv," she told her comfortingly. "Just tell Cragen what happened."
"He hit me again," she cried, clutching Mel for support, "and again, and I fell. And then, he pulled down my jeans, and he…"
"He what, Liv?" Melinda asked hesitantly.
"He forced his way inside me," Olivia sobbed, closing her eyes as if it would stop the pain. "And I wanted to die right then and there. I wish he had killed me, Mel. I wanted to die."
"I think that'll be okay for now," Cragen nodded, his face emitting a sense of pain for his fellow officer. Why her? "We can talk again later."
Melinda nodded, still holding Olivia, and Cragen walked out of the room to be met by Elliot.
"Is she okay?" Elliot asked concernedly.
"She's traumatized," Cragen sighed, staring at his feet. "The brute raped her, and now she's terrified. Mel is in there with her now, but… I don't know, Elliot. She seems so broken."
"She's strong," Elliot told his employer confidently, looking in through the window at the couple. Melinda was still trying to calm Olivia. "She'll get through it. I know she will."
"Let's hope," Cragen sighed as he walked down the hallway with Elliot, falling in step with him. "Let's hope."
