Melinda heard the front door slam, and slowly tried to pick herself up. She groaned at the movement of her aching and sore body, but was able to pull herself to the wall pulling her legs up to her chest and crying. How could she be so vulnerable! She wiped her tears and tried to get up.
Her motions were measured and slow. Making her way to the bathroom, she turned on the hot water pouring some salt into it to help with the bruising, she got into the tub. She know what had just happened she had just lost all dignity she had, to a man, whom resembled what she saw at work day in and day out…
She sat there, thinking, and crying, if she said anything to anybody, she knew they wouldn't believe her, and not only that, but he'd threatened to kill her if she did. Just then, the phone rang. She brought it in with her, before.
She picked up and weakly said "Hello?"
"Hey Mel! How are you?" Casey exclaimed happily.
"I'm ok, what's up?" she said playing with the soap bubbles.
"Well, Alex and I were going to dinner, and since Liv is spending the night with El's kids, and you don't have Tara I thought you'd like to go with us." Casey replied hoping she'd say yes.
"I don't know Case, I mean I-" Melinda was cut off by Casey.
"Listen, when was the last time we had a girl's night out?" Casey paused for a sec then exclaimed startling Mel a bit.
"EXACTLY! You're going and that's final! Be ready in an hour. Wear something sexy!" and with that, Casey hung up without letting Melinda protest with her.
Melinda hung up and said to herself "Ugh! Casey!!! I'm gonna kill you one of these days!"
She quickly finished her shower and went to get dressed. Melinda looked in the mirror of her bedroom dresser to see just how bad the bruising around her neck and cheekbone looked, and to see what kind of lie she'd tell them this time around. Melinda sighed and grabbed a knee-length black dress that had long sleeves which would be perfect for the bruising on her arms. After getting dressed, she pulled out black boots that were knee length as well, and so far she had covered almost all of the bruises.
Just as she was getting ready to get a shawl on, Casey sends her a text saying
'U better b getting ready! We'll b there to pick u up in 10 ~C.D.N.' It made Melinda smile and start doing her make up. When she felt her cheekbone, she was very happy to find that it wasn't broken or fractured, which also meant that John sometimes really did hit like a girl!
She covered the purple bash as much as she could and applied some blush to make it look like cosmetics. Right then, Casey rang the door bell, but didn't bother waiting for Melinda to answer the door and just let herself in. "Melinda, if you're not ready, I'm going to personally-"
Melinda came out ready and looking very pretty,-compared to before the beating- "You'll personally what Casey? I'm ready, and hi, how are you?"
Casey smirked and said "Hey Mel!" she gave her a kiss on her right cheek and the continued "Let's get the hell outta here!"
Melinda laughed and followed Casey out. She had a feeling tonight was going to be filled with questions, hopefully not!
Just as Melinda had expected, that night was filled with many questions but, she was luckily able to answer them with the best lie she could muster. Aside from he fact that she knew, that they knew, that she was lying.

Chapter 5 Part 1Monday morning- 8:45amOlivia strode into work in a lavender and pale yellow baby doll top, and dark denim jeans with her ankle-high black boots, and her chestnut hair down, just a bit past her shoulders. She was obviously walking in late, since she was supposed to be there by 7:30am but, oh well!
She came in, trying hard not move her legs too much, and Munch, who was turned to look at her after he heard someone coming in, stared at her out of pure bewilderment, and Olivia just smiled at him.
Munch asked: "Liv, why are you walking like that?" he asked from his place where Olivia used to sit before she and Elliot became an item.
Olivia walked over to her desk in front of her new partner Fin, and turned around. Eli, was behind her legs hiding so that no one would see him.
Munch laughed and said: "Hey Eli, what you doing hiding behind Liv?"
Eli came out from between Olivia's legs, and Olivia went to sit at her desk, she felt so extremely tired.
Eli: "First of all, her name is Mommy! Second, shhh!!! You supposed to see me!!"
John laughed and ruffled his cheekbone-long, dirty blonde hair, and asked Olivia: "You okay, Liv?"
Olivia nodded: "Yeah, I'm fine, where's Elliot?"
"He went out with Fin, on call. Why do you need him?" Munch asked as his phone rang.
"Nope, I just wanted to know."
As the sentence left her mouth, in came Fin, with their suspect in handcuffs taking him into interrogation, and was right behind him with a smirk that Olivia knew quite well. Eli jumped out from behind Olivia's chair and tried to "scare" his father, but he really didn't.
"Hey buddy! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in preschool?" Elliot asked as he picked up his four year old.
"You didn't sign my perr-mi-thion thlip (permission slip) for the twip (trip) to the farm, so I couldn't go!" Eli explained then crossed his tiny arms across his chest and looked at Elliot angrily
Elliot laughed "I'm sorry bud!"
Olivia laughed at the conversation between the two and stood up, wincing a bit. Elliot noticed and asked her if she was alright, she nodded and said that she was fine. She walked to the back of the squad room and entered to see the Captain and Fin looking at the suspect through the two way window.
"I'll go in, alone!" Olivia said and walked into the small gray, lifeless room.
The perp, Victor, looked ay her and had a smug smile on his face, thinking that he was most definitely going to get away with this rape, since it was a woman interrogating him. Goes to show how he obviously didn't know Olivia.
"Why'd you do it?" Olivia asked aggravated with this guy and it was only half away into the questioning.
Meanwhile, behind the glass, in the room still stood Captain Cragen and Detective Fin looking at the interrogation intently; when they heard someone enter the room, they turned around to see Elliot, finally there after playing with Eli for a few minutes. "Where's Olivia?" he asked after noticing that she wasn't there.
"Interrogating our perp…" they answered
"She's WHAT?! Why?! Couldn't one of you guys to that?!" Elliot exclaimed angrily.
"Do you have a problem with her job Stab-" Cragen was cut off by the sound of a table being turned over and a chair being thrown…..
