Chapter 1: Off Probation
Casey briskly rounded the corner almost in the squad room. She was so grateful that finally her suspension had been lifted, after 5 years she could return to SVU. She simply couldn’t wait to be able to see all her old friends again especially Olivia. She entered the precinct and her eyes immediately fell on her favorite detective, Olivia Benson’s, desk, but she did not see Benson who she saw was some girl she had never seen before, and Olivia the proud, independent, strong, beautiful, Olivia Benson lying on the ground swatting at a cat toy that Elliot was gently pulling up as she went for it. Then Casey noticed Olivia’s outfit it was a hot pink tube top and a white mini skirt she had on gold hoop earrings and high heels, but what caught Casey’s attention was a soft cream colored dog collar that lay on Olivia’s neck. This was not what Casey Novak had been expecting she wanted her butch, tough, kick ass cop friend not some perfectly made up girly girl with an expensive manicure and Louie Vuitton purse. Yet, as disappointed as she was Casey came to the conclusion that Olivia had just lost a bet, and not wanting to pass off an opportunity for some good humored fun she let out “Hey there missy nice outfit, but a little feminine for Mrs. Butch,” Casey let out a little chuckle. When she looked to Olivia, expecting an insult back, Olivia looked like she was about to cry she had sat up very suddenly and was now clinging to the front of Elliot’s desk. Olivia was just barely able to let out the a barely audible whisper
“ You..... you... you mean you d...d...don't like it, but M...MM...Mrs. Alex got it for my birthday.” Just then Elliot turned around and realized what was going on.
“ Whoa Casey I didn’t see you there a... maybe we should go talk somewhere a little bit more private.” He said slightly glancing down at Livia.
“ No, who.. wha.. what the hell is wrong with her and who is that in Liv’s chair” Casey almost yelled.
“Casey please lets just go somewhere private and I’ll explain everything.” pleaded Elliott
“No I want answers right here right now” replied Casey
“ Please make her go away I don’t like her” Livia whimpered and buried her face in elliot’s pant leg. He then knew that this had gone to far and he had had to sit through to many sessions with Livia’s behavioral analyst to know when Livia felt uncomfortable around someone he needed to have her address the stress at the source. So he bent down very slowly and whispered
“ Livia darling, what does Miss. Nancy say when we have to meet someone new.”
“ Oh elliot please no, please don't make me.” Then with a slight sense of authority in his voice he said
“are you giving me sass, I’m in charge here and I am saying that you need to be polite and introduce yourself to Mrs. Novak here, understand.” Livia nodded. Casey was appalled at what she had just witnessed he had literally spoken and then scolded her as if she were a nine year old. None of the less Olivia slowly rose and shimmied toward her and stuck out a shaking, meager hand and in a barely audible whisper said
“ I’m pleased to meet you Mrs. Novak, my name is Livia how are you today.” Casey had no idea what to do she stared into her friend of 7 years sunken eyes Olivia seemed demeaned and like she just wanted to sink into the shadows and be a perfectly obedient little girl; this was not the Olivia that she knew. Casey was barely able to stutter
“O..O..Olivia what happened”. All of a sudden Olivia’s mood totally changed and she practically spat out
“ oh you're one of her friends.”
“ Livia that is not how we talk...” Just then a tall slender beautiful blonde DA came strolling in talking on a cell phone and then abruptly hung up with a huff, and not noticing the totally confused ADA standing there went right over to Elliot and said
“ That was some important clients of Liz’s. Liz and the clients are coming over to my place for dinner, so would you please be a hero and take Livia for the night. Mitszuri can go to Alice’s, but I think it may be one to many new faces for Livia” Alex said in a somewhat of a whisper.
“How does that sound precious you’re gonna get to have a sleepover at Elliot’s tonight” That was when Alex noticed her precocious pets tear stained face and she immediately ran over to her and began comforting and stroking her hair. Casey was appalled this was all too overwhelming, that is when she felt Cragen behind her sighing and then saying “Elliot, Mrs. Novak may I please see you two in my office.” Casey walked in to Cragen’s damp musty office that although gave you an odd feeling, but could quickly make you feel quite at home. There was an awkward tension in the air until Casey decided to break it with the most obvious question
“ So am I going to have to wait around here all day or are one you two going to tell me what the hell happened to her.”
“ I was just thinking of the easiest way to explain it, but I guess there really is no easy way.” So Cragen, with encouraging nods from Elliot along the way, began to tell the story of how Olivia was kidnapped, beaten, raped, and abused to the point of no return.
“ I’m sorry Casey, we tried, but there was nothing we could do for her. She doesn’t even remember her name.” he continued on to tell her of the two offal years she spent being abused and “trained” for future “owners” when she was then “saved” from the traffickers by the mysterious “ Mrs. Jocelyn” and then made totally dependent on her, and finally how Alex came to be in “possession” of the new “Livia” and how with much persistence and countless doctors there was simply no way to retrieve the original Olivia and that every body including Casey were going to have to just learn to live with the new Olivia. Even Elliot admitted that it pained him every single time he had to treat her like some pampered show dog, but that over time he had come to learn that he was hurting Livia more by treating her like her old self than if he treated her the way she wanted to be treated. And as icing on the cake (and with much convincing) they had talked her into coming to one of Mitszuri’s famous Saturday night dinners. Casey and Elliot strode out of Cragen’s office and Casey was shocked to see Olivia practically sitting in Alex’s lap. She was about to say something just when Elliot grabbed her arm gave her a “ Yes I know its weird but please just play along” look. He quickly walked over and said “well looks like your gonna have to tell Mitszuri to set a 7th place at dinner because guess who’s coming.” And as if it were a cue Casey in as jokingly of a manner as she could muster she threw her thumbs up, and to her delight got a small smile out of Livia.
Alex briefly grabbed Elliot’s arm and pulled him over “are you crazy, I don’t think she’s ready to have someone that makes her that uncomfortable in the house”
“Alex you need start letting the guard down this is what she needs remember how scared she was when she first met me.”
“ Well you are right, but she so much as lets out one whimper and that lady is out.”
“Oh don’t be that way see look Livia’s already warming up to her.” he said with a slight gesture towards Livia with a caring Ashley holding her hand as she started to tentatively sniff Casey’s hand. Alex let out a slow sigh and realized that it was probably for the best, she hoped.
