Chapter VI: Comparable

"Can you imagine finding something out like that? I wouldn't even know how to react to that." Fin said to Mike as they walked into the HQ of Harvey Gun Manufactories.

"To be fair, she doesn't know any better. Jane thinks her parents are her parents and that shouldn't change." Mike said as they stepped inside the elevator.

"She deserves to know the truth."

"That's something her family has to decide."

They walked out of the elevator to Bill Harvey's receptionist. The woman looked up and they showed their badges.

"Sergeant Dodds and detective Tutuola. We would like to speak to mister Harvey please."

The woman nodded, took a phone of its horn and pressed a button.

"Mister Harvey, sir, there are two police officers to see you."

"Let them in."

The woman nodded for the men to go in. Fin knocked before coming in.

Bill Harvey was sitting at his desk. When he saw the men, he got up and walked over to them.

"Bill Harvey. How can I help you?"

"Sergeant Dodds and detective Tutuola, Special Victims."

"Special Victims? I hope it's nothing serious."

"Your name came up in an investigation. Do you have any children sir?" Fin asked.

"I have a 16 year old son. Not sure why you needed to know that?"

"Sir, do you know the Face Hitter Rapist?"

"Yes. But what does that have to do with my son?"

"We just need to talk to your son. We got information that your son may be a witness to the last rape. Do you know where we can find him?"

"Well, he lives with my ex. I'll bring him by the precinct first thing tomorrow."

Harper was sitting at her desk, looking at her phone. She smiled every time she got a text from Beth.

Amanda noticed Harper smiling at her phone She didn't know how to feel about the feelings she had towards the other detective. Not only was Harper a co-worker and there was an age gape of at least 10 years, she was also a woman.

Amanda never had feelings towards a woman. Sure, she found some women attractive, but never had actual feelings for them. Amanda wasn't even sure Harper was somehow attractive to her. Sonny told her that Harper and her girlfriend broke up a couple of weeks ago. But the way she was looking at her phone, Amanda doubted that.

"Guys, why don't we call it a night? It's been a long day. Besides, Jane, it was supposed to be your day off. Stay home next time." Olivia said as she walked out of her office with her stuff.

"Sure thing lieutenant. Won't happen again." Harper said.

Olivia smiled before walking to the elevators.

"Hey Harper, you want to get a coffee somewhere?" Amanda asked.

"I'm sorry Amanda, but I'm actually visiting my parents for dinner. Maybe another time?"

"Of course. Have fun."

Harper just smiled and left the squad room.

Amanda just let out a big sight.

"I think we should tell Harper. She has the right to know." Sonny said the next morning.

Olivia decided they should consider their options, so they were discussing it in her office. She had sent Harper out to get them all coffee.

"But it is not our place to tell. There is a reason her parents didn't tell her." Mike said.

"You mean the parents who aren't really her parents?" Fin said.

"You don't have to be the mother to treat a child like your own." Amanda said.

"Look, lets just decided that Harper will know this soon enough but not from us, okay? This case has been really hard on her already and finding something like this out wouldn't help her." Olivia said.

Harper was waiting on the elevators on the ground floor of the precinct when a man and a teenage boy walked up beside her. The man noticed her badge.

"Excuse me, do you know where I can find detective Tutuola?" The man asked.

Harper turned to look at him.

"You can follow me, sir. I'm detective Jane, I work with detective Tutuola."

"Thank you." The man nodded his head.

Harper looked over at the young boy who was with him. She didn't know what it was but something was off about him.

The elevator arrived and they all stepped inside.

"You look pretty young to be a detective. Especially for an elite unit like Special Victims."

"I got lucky, I guess." Harper didn't really feel like having small talk. There was just something about the young boy who was looking at her with a smirk.

They finally arrived at the floor of the SVU squad room.

"Detective Tutuola, these 2 men were looking for you." Harper said as soon as she saw Fin.

Fin saw Bill Harvey standing next to Harper and his eyes widened.

"Mister Harvey, thank you for coming. I'm assuming that this is your son?"

"Yes, this is Olivier. He told me he was never an eye witness to the last crime. What is this really about?" Bill asked as he folded his arms.

"Why don't we go somewhere a little more private?" Fin pointed to the room that was next to the lieutenant's office.

Bill and Olivier followed and Harper watched them. Olivia came out of her office to join him when Harper stopped her.

"Lieutenant, what is this about?"

"The guy's son matched the DNA we found on the last victim."

"You guys had a DNA match? He can't be that stupid to leave DNA after he got in the system."

"Actually he had an family member who was in the system."

"Oh. Well, I hope you get an confession out of him. A guy like that, no matter the age, doesn't deserve to breath the air of freedom."

Olivia just nodded and went into the room. Sonny walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"You alright?" He asked.

"I don't know."

"Let's go get a coffee."

"We can all see that this case is taking a toll on you. You know it's okay to talk about it?" Sonny said when they were standing in line at the coffee cart.

"I know. To be honest, I'm not sure why this case is getting to me. I've been here a while, it shouldn't effect me anymore."

"When it doesn't effect you anymore, then you have to worry. It's completely normal to have these kind of feelings. You don't think the lieutenant has them, even after the many years she's been here? The only thing that is important is that you have someone to talk this about. I can be that person for you, if you want."

Harper smiled.

"I know, Sonny. You're a good guy and I might take you up to that."

"There was no way around it. The kid confessed." Fin said as Harper and Sonny walked in.

"Really? Just like that?" Harper asked as she sat down behind her desk.

"Just like that really. He couldn't do anything then confess to be honest. We had his DNA, so we didn't really needed a confession but he still did. With a little push of his father." Amanda said.

Harper nodded and smiled.

"Wow, can't believe we finally got the guy. It's like a weight is lifting off of me."

Amanda smiled back.

Sorry for the long waited update. And I'm sorry this chapter is so short. But my interest in SVU is slowly getting smaller and smaller. I just hope season 18 will be better and with new characters (preferably also a woman).

Review and tell me what you think about this chapter!
