****Olivia's POV****

I sat at the table, reading over the Cohen case and trying to make sure I had covered everything. I continued to read through everything when I felt a soft hand rub my arm, causing me to look up at her. (A/N: Olivia Benson below [my favorite character in my favorite TV show, btw])

"I didn't mean to disturb you, but you looked kinda stressed so.....I poured you this." she said, sitting a glass of red wine in front of me. I closed the folder and gently grabbed her arm, then I pulled her into my lap and pecked her lips.

"You know, the feds interrogated me today about Cohen.....and you." I told her.

"Why?" she questioned, causing me to sigh.

"They found out that I live in the same building as you, and they questioned me about your fluids being on Cohen's 'unit'." I stated, making her hold her head down.

"Mariah, why were you sleeping with him? How did you even know him?" I continued.

"I-I didn't know him. He saw me when I was in Harlem, getting my last few things fr-from my parents' home. I dropped my ring, and he picked it up.....he told me he followed me back to Manhattan so that he could return it to me."

"So how did that turn into you two sleeping together?"

"I thanked him for giving it back, and he noticed my Colombian accent. So then he asked how long I'd been here, and I told him that my family came here when I was 13. Then he said that I was pretty, and that he thought Latin women were the best in bed. I had started to walk away, but then he asked about my papers. When I didn't answer, he figured that I was illegal and he said he worked at ICE.....he said he'd deport me if I didn't have sex with him." Mariah explained. She had no idea that she was born in America, and that her biological family was killed.....I didn't tell her because she really loved her Colombian parents, and they sounded like nice people from what she says about them. I wasn't gonna wreck up her family until I had learned EVERYTHING about them and their involvement in her kidnapping/her family's murder.

"Mariah, if you killed him then I'd understand....he forced yo-"

"He didn't force me, h-he just persuaded me with an incentive. I have uncles and cousins who did it to girls all the time in Colombia.....and Santiago, leader of the militia I was in, did it to us all the time. It's not rape, Olivia." she interrupted me. I sighed and was about to respond to her, then I realized she didn't understand the difference between consenting to sex and being coerced into it so I just decided not to press the issue with her any longer.

"So what happened after you went to Cohen's apartment with him?" I asked, getting back to the information I needed.

"We were having sex, but then his wife called and said she was downstairs and needed help carrying the groceries upstairs so, he told me I had to go. I rushed to get dressed and left out through the fire escape." Mariah explained.
