Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from Law and Order if I did I would have George in every one with at least 30 minutes of screen time! Enjoy!

Elliot was shocked, George the man who was always there if anyone needed help, the man who wouldn't hurt a fly, the man who many thought was as kind and patient like an angel. That was a bit exaggerating but it was true. Elliot saw George as a compassionate, pure hearted person. They had differences but never did he wish harm on the doctor.

Elliot made a secret vow that whoever had caused the pain that his George had been the victim of, would pay immensely.

'Wait a minute "my George" since when have I have thought of the Doc like that, 'pondered Elliot.

He didn't know what to do with the upset doctor so he opted to do what he usually did. Be a cop.

"I can't believe this, so many years in special victims and nobody noticed your symptoms? How is that even possible?"

George had always been the man to hide his true emotions, it came with the job. Apparently being stoic and expressionless made a good cover. Almost perfect.

George replied, "I just dealt with it. I behave like I do when I profile a rapist or murderer. I shut down and just put that emotional side to the back of my mind."

Elliot continued to berate himself and the other detectives for not noticing how George had retreated to himself for the last few weeks.

'It doesn't matter, we failed George, but we can still help him,' thought Elliot.

"George did you ever report him?"

The doctor shook his head in a negative.

"Look Doc I know, you probably are still in love with this jackass and you would never want to hurt him but you can't just forget what he did to you. You can't just go on and protect this bastard."

George's head shot up when those words were uttered. He turned to stare at the detective disbelievingly. Elliot saw the humiliation and anger on the psychologist's face.

"You think I want to protect this person who took some sick pleasure in hurting me in one of the worst ways possible? Do you really think I want to be with that… that man who violated me and beat me in my home?"

George's fists were at his sides trying to restrain himself from yelling.

Elliot immediately went to defend himself but was cut off.

"Listen Doc-"

He didn't want to upset the doctor anymore. Elliot hadn't meant to but all the emotions the small man had repressed were finally breaking free.

"No Elliot you listen, I will never forget that day. I will never forget how he did it repeatedly. I didn't report it because he knows people who are higher in commanding office. I don't care if they know what he did to me I care about them taking my job away from me."

George took a deep breath in before he continued, "They won't prosecute him if they find out about the rape. The best they will do is put him on unpaid suspension for a few weeks. During that, they will probably put me on a leave and force me to see a therapist. My boss would pull me off cases, which means I would lose my job, my patients and I would no longer be allowed to help the victims of this unit."

His eyes met Elliot's steel blue ones. He noticed the anger shining in them.

George said, "To top it off I will have to relive those memories in front of strangers during the trial. He will probably enjoy listening to me tell the jury about how he broke me and like he said proved that I was just like his lovers that we were all his toys. After he stopped…raping me he told me I was special. In his words, I had "spunk and fire, a fire he enjoyed watching flicker that night."

With that being said, George dropped down on a nearby chair, accidentally knocking over a couple of books and half filled coffee mugs.

Yep I know its short but after 10 hours of school and getting an 84% on an English test has made me feel….sad! So my fellow readers I hope you enjoyed this and leave your comments. Yes I make typos and yes I mess up sometimes. Chinese food and skittles

Love Steph
