Apparently WL is my muse because all sorts of ideas have been popping around in my head since he announced his return...

ENJOY

Sighing, Olivia pushed her reading glasses to the top of her head as she pinched the bridge of her nose. The shrill sound of her cell phone at two in the morning was a surefire way to start the day on a bad note.

The low hum and dim lighting in the elevator were almost lulling her to sleep before the doors dinged open, revealing the bustle of the Mercy Hospital emergency department.

When she walked through the corridor, Amanda was awaiting her with a hot coffee. Graciously accepting with a small smile and a nod, Olivia sighed. "What do we got?" She asked, nodding towards the examination rooms.

"Siobhan Tucker", Rollins began with a deep breath. "Twenty-three year old grad student at Columbia. Was found unconscious with her underwear ripped at a house party. Came to in the ambulance. They're finishing up her rape kit now."

That surname gave he pause. She had come across it a handful of times in the few years since she had ended things with Ed. It wasn't uncommon but she always taken aback.

When they walked into the exam room the nurse was just packing up the contents of the rape kit. Olivia stood to the side, out of the nurses way as she observed the young woman in the hospital bed.

Her honey golden hair piled into a mess bun on the top of her head as her steely blue eyes focused on her hands fidgeting in her lap. Her bright teeth gnawing into the pink flesh of her thin lips.

Flipping open her notebook, Olivia approached the bedside. "Siobhan, I'm Lieutenant Benson and this is Detective Rollins. Do you remember anything from before you blacked out?"

Taking a deep breath, she tried her best to calm her shaky voice before she spoke. "There was this guy at the party that I keep running into around campus. I had always thought he was cute." A fresh round of tears flooded her eyes. "He got me a drink and that's the last thing I remember."

Grabbing a nearby rolling stool, Olivia took a seat so she was eye level with Siobhan. "It doesn't matter what you thought, or said, or did. He took advantage of you, full stop. No one deserves that."

Wiping the tears quickly from her flushed, freckled cheeks, Siobhan folded her arms across her chest. "I just know better than to accept a drink from someone at a party. My father is police captain for Christ's sake, he's been drilling this into my head since I was prepubescent. How can I be so stupid?!"

The scratch of Olivia's pen stopped dead at her words.

Amanda sensed her boss' pause and stepped in. "None of this was your fault. I know it may feel like it now, but I promise you it isn't."

Recovering, Olivia cleared her throat before forging on. "Detective Rollins is right, this is not your fault." She insisted. Siobhan looked up at her with her bright blue eyes and nodded with a sniffle.

Those blue eyes.

Olivia placed a comforting hand on her forearm. "Is there someone we can call for you? You said you're dad is a captain, is that here in the city?"

Clearing her throat, she nodded. "Yeah. Ed Tucker. He's a captain at IAB. Well, he's was, now he's at..."

"Conviction integrity." Siobhan and Olivia said at the same time.

"Oh good, you do know him."

Rising from her stool, Olivia let her bangs fall in front of her face like a curtain. She used this brief respite to control the emotions that were threatening her facial features.

She mustered a forced smile. "I do know him." She felt the subtle warmth of Amanda's hand pressed against the middle of her back in silent support. "You must be Rosie."

"Yeah", she hesitated, her eyes shifting between the two police officers. "My middle name is Rose, been my nickname since before I could walk."

Closing her notepad, Olivia cleared her throat. "Detective Rollins is going to finish taking your disclosure while I contact your father."

Rosie watched as Olivia slipped out of the room. "She forgot to ask for dad's number."

Looking at the door and back at Rosie, Amanda tried her best to keep her face neutral. "I think she has it."

Sorry it's so short but we're just getting started... let me know what you think!
