I am redoing my first chapter(s) to make it smoother I hope this is more readable.


Olivia Benson was downstairs in the basement of the prison was fighting for her life while Lowell Harris brought her down to punish her for speaking up. Olivia ran away from Lowell after she double fisted him in the groin. She reached a locked silver door with bars over the window. She began slamming on the door, "Please someone Help me!" She screamed, trying to untwist the locked knob. She looked back to Lowell who was only footsteps in front of her. Lowell back slapped with the hand that had a ring on a finger; the impact of his hit lead Olivia fall to the ground. He took her handcuffed hand and took the other bracelet and clicked it to the door. Lowell grabbed Olivia's arm to make her stand up. He grabbed her neck and pressed his body against hers; while he began to unbuckle his pants. Lowell moved his face closer to Olivia's and aggressively began to kiss her. Olivia grabbed a piece of Lowell's lip between her teeth and bit down, with the reaction Lowell pressed his thumb down on her neck, to cut her airflow down. Olivia started feeling light headed and vision became foggy, she felt Lowell spit the blood she drew on her, and her legs be unclothed.


Olivia woke up in the hospital bed, not remembering what happen. Elliot walked into the hospital room. "Hey,"

She looked at him, with plead in her eyes, "What happen."

"Fin, found you with out your clothes on, and Lowell on top of you. They did the rape kit while you were sleeping so we get this all sort out." Elliot informed, sitting down in the chair next to her bed. "Do you remember anything that happened?"

"I ran... I fought... He kissed me, I bit him and..." She told him all she knew but words couldn't come out of her mouth because she didn't know. She closed her eyes, shook her head with a tear coming out of her eye. Olivia wiped her tear away took a deep breath and looked at her partner. "Where is he?"

"Fin and Cragen are taking care of him." Elliot took Olivia's hand to give her comfort. "Do you want to talk?"

Olivia brushed her hand to Elliot's cheek, with a smile, "Thanks, but you should go home and spend time with Kathy,"

"Are you sure?" He asked with a nod coming from Olivia.


Olivia finally made her way back to her apartment, to take a nice hot shower. She was in her bedroom getting dress in her pajamas. She closed her eyes and took a nice deep breath in then a tear ran down her cheek. She felt a grip on her shoulder. Liv jumped and swung her arm up in the defense mode. She turned around to see Alex holding her face where Olivia just hit her. "Alex?" She asked forgetting that she called her to come over.

"Hey are you okay?" Alex asked holding Olivia's arms. Olivia looked into Alex's eyes, and wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. She simply shook her head, while her whole body was shaking. Alex pulled Olivia into an embrace wanting to stop her shakes, which began tears that she was fighting all day. Alex sat them on the bed, and tucked Liv's hair behind her ear. "Do you wanna talk about it?" Alex asked. Alex wanted to cry with Olivia seeing all the bruises on her body.

She took a sigh, "I know what there is to talk about, all I remember after I was fighting the bastard off and then I woke up to Elliot." She moved her feet on to the bed.

"Well do we have evidence that he..." Alex couldn't even say rape, this time being about Olivia.

"I don't know... I haven't checked it yet." She stated, and getting a look from Alex, "I know... I know I just want this day to be over. I didn't dare to go into the office, I just want to try and get some sleep."

"Okay, well I'll leave you tonight something tells me you want to be alone." Alex said getting up, seeing that Olivia was shutting down to her, and not wanting to force anything on her.

"Alex wait, can you stay with me tonight?" Olivia stated not wanting to be alone at the moment, but needing to spend time with Alex.


Olivia walked into the squadroom the next morning. She placed her things down on her desk but continued over to Fin's desk. Fin looked up at Olivia's facial expression that didn't need words to know what she is saying.

"I can't," He answered her.

"Fin." She commanded with her hand sticking out, and not liking stuff being held back from her. She can't look at a file, because she was a victim.

"Liv," He started while standing up, with the tone of voice that came out of Fin's voice wasn't as reassuring as it could be. "Russell Hunter came into the interview, and Harris is back on the job."

"What?" Olivia was took back on the news, "Why with the evidence you have?" Olivia walked past Fin, and barged into Cragen's office pissed. "Did he penetrate me?"

Cragen closed his door, and sat on his desk getting ready to break the news to her, "Your kit just came back, and there is DNA." He answered her with out saying yes.

"So why is he back at work this morning? There is clearly enough evidence coming from me to put him in prison." Olivia raised her voice.

"Olivia. " He said calmly, "We are in the process of getting the warrant for his DNA, trust me we are doing everything to get him." She nodding, and Cragen knowing he can't get be upset with her for jumping down his throat, knowing open of his best dectives going to be on the fritz with not being able to do anything on the case she intially started. Olivia took deep breath to pull herself together.

Alex walked into the prescient with a warrant in her hand, while Cragen and Benson walked out of his office, "Did you guys asked for a warrant?"

Fin jumped up and took the warrant out of Alex's hand, "I'm on it." Munch followed Fin out.

"Olivia and Elliot I want you to take the rest day off." Cragen pointed out after the warrant got handed over.

Olivia assumed this was coming with the arrest, and was gathering her things. "Excuse me?" Elliot asked.

"Elliot this is Olivia's rapist, I know your anger issues and I don't trust you to be around when he gets here." Cragen trying to keep his unit under control.

Olivia got goosebumps up and down her body with the quote 'Olivia's rapist' coming out of Cragen's voice. She rubbed her arms trying to get her goosebumps to go away, and walked over to Elliot. She placed her hand on his shoulder, "Hey why don't I buy you breakfast, I certainly can go for a drink." Elliot nodded to entertain his partner.

"As soon as he away, call me." Elliot commanded.

"Don't worry I'll be the first to let you two know." Alex answered them looking at Olivia.


I hope this is better than before trial chapter is coming up
