Disclaimer: All belongs to Dick Wolf and NBC and all the other people who create it… ah… If I owned them, SVU would be a lot different :P

This chapter is for NettieC… thanks for all the things you did for me in the last weeks :)

----------------------------------------------------------------In The Ghetto -------------------------------------------------------------------

Olivia was on her way home from work when she decided to take a little walk through Central Park.

Their last case was pretty hard and she needed to calm down. A young disabled woman had been raped and beaten to death and the man who did it was still free. His lawyer claimed they didn't have enough evidence to put him behind bars and he was right, they couldn't prove his client was the murderer. Cases like this really bothered Olivia as it showed just how unfair this world was sometimes.

Still wrapped in her own thoughts, Olivia heard a whimper from behind the bushes she was walking past. She stood a moment just to check if there really was a noise. Then she heard it again. She walked over to the bushes and was shocked with what she saw there.

A little girl, around ten, covered in blood. Her skirt and her panties were pulled down to her knees. Instantly Olivia knelt down beside the little girl but she only heard "please help me" before the girl lost conscious.

Olivia quickly pulled out her cell to call an ambulance. She dialled 911 and waited for the dispatcher to pick up.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"This is Detective Benson, SVU. I'm in Central Park near the entry at 5th Ave and E86th Street. I have a ten year old female victim. Appears to have been raped, and has multiple cuts and abrasions over her body. She was conscious when I found her but is now unconscious. I'll carry her to the 5th Ave entrance, so send the bus to meet me. Please hurry!"

"Okay, ma'am, a bus is on its way."

After Olivia rang off she felt for the pulse of the girl who was still unconscious and it was barely there. As she realized how cold this dark and grey December night was she pulled off her jacket and wrapped it around the girl. Then she stood up and carried the girl to meet the bus.

The whole time they waited Olivia talked to her.

"Honey, you have to be strong, help's coming and I'll be there for you."

Shortly afterwards the ambulance arrived and the paramedics took over. On the way to Mercy General the girl didn't wake up but Olivia held her little hand the whole time.

As soon as they arrived at the hospital, they sent the child straight to surgery to try to stop the bleeding. When they got to the OR Olivia had to wait outside. A nurse came out after a long while and told her the girl had lost a lot of blood and that she didn't know how much longer the surgery would take. She promised she would inform her as soon as everything was done. She also told her that they would send the rape kit over to the lab of the SVU.

Olivia had just sat down on one of those uncomfortable hospital chairs when Elliot rushed into the waiting room.

"Hey Liv", he greeted her. "I got your message. What happened?"

"Oh El… I was on my way home from work and decided to go through Central Park and I heard something behind the bushes. That's when I found her. It looks really bad. It seems she was raped and the guy who did this tried to kill her. She has cuts all over her body. It looks like he tried to stab her. Someone has thrown her away as if she's just waste. If I find this SOB– and I will –I don't know what I'll do to him."

"Oh god, Liv! What do we do next?"

"I don't know. I'll wait now till they're done with the surgery and see if I can talk to her, at least get a name…somewhere to start." Tears filled her eyes at the thought of the battered and abused little girl.

Elliot pulled her in a comforting hug and they waited together for three more hours until a doctor came into the waiting room.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Montgomery. We're done now with the surgery. It looks good for her. We stitched all her cuts and none of them were too deep or affected important organs. She should make a full recovery and be discharged in three or four days. Do you know her name so we can inform her parents?"

"No, I'm sorry. I just found her", Olivia said.

"We'll take a picture and send it over to TV stations and newspapers. Someone has to recognize her", Elliot offered.

"Yeah, good idea", Olivia said. "How is she now? Can I talk to her?"

"No, you can't. We gave her pretty heavy painkillers and a sedative but you should be able to talk to her tomorrow when she wakes up. I can take you to her now so you can check on her." Both followed the doctor until they arrived on the 4th floor, room 126, where she was lying. The doctor left them and they both had time to think about the situation. They stood in the corridor and looked into the room.

"We should give her a name, just until she wakes up. It's stupid to talk about 'the girl'. What's about Siobhan?" Olivia said.

"Aww… no Liv. I think Emily fits better to her."

"Okay, good idea."

Both looked through the window at Emily who, with her blond hair, seemed as if she was a sleeping angel. Then Olivia went into Emily's room, took a chair, sat down next to her and held her hand.

"Honey, everything is going to be okay. I'll be here for you. You're at the hospital now. I'm not going anywhere, I promise."

Elliot entered the room.

"Liv, you need to get some rest. Go home, have a shower and sleep and then you can come back tomorrow morning." "No, I'll stay here. I don't want her to be alone when she wakes. You need to go home to Kathy and the kids. Tomorrow I'll come to the precinct to check with Melinda, see if she has any results from the rape kit. Go home, Elliot, please, I'm fine here."

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

He gave her a slight hug and left.

It didn't take long until Olivia fell asleep on Emily's bed, head resting on her blanket.

tbc.

A/N: So… this is my first FF for SVU… I haven't written anything before so please don't be too hard with your feedback… and please give me feedback… it will make me update a lot faster!!

Maybe I should also mention that I've only seen around 35 episodes of SVU… But at the moment I am trying to watch all Seasons :) If you can recommend any episodes, go ahead…

This first chapter was hard because I didn't know how to start the whole thing. But I promise it will be better in further chapters.

I don't know at the moment how fast I can update as I've loads of exams in January and my grandma is very ill in hospital but in three weeks I have holidays and then I'll continue to write, I promise. This story is only typed till chapter 3. But written to Chapter 6 ;)

The title I used is from a song from Elvis Presley… I love that song… and in later chapters I'll also use the lyrics… so I think now I've talked enough ;)
