Chapter 2

Next day a woman walks into the SVU precinct and gets Olivia

“I’d like to see Elliot Stabler.” She asked

Oliva looked her over and she seemed familiar but couldn’t place her. “He’s with someone, can I help with something.” She offered

“No.” was the woman’s short reply.

“Ok well take a seat and I’ll let him know.”

Elliot escorted the guy roughly from the interview room and told Munch to take him down for processing. Quietly pleased he looked at Olivia “Now why can’t all confessions be that easy.” Elliot with a big grin

“Elliot this young lady is here to see you.”

He looked over and demeanour changed almost instant which was sensed by Olivia  She noticed the young woman had also become rigid as they locked eyes on each other

Elliot’s felt the knot in his stomach tighten.

“Well I can see you’re happy to see me.” Came the woman’s smart remark

Elliot walked back to the interview room “In here.” He said and the woman followed him in.

Elliot closed the door and started pacing. “What are you doing here.” He growled

“Nice to see you too brother.” The words spat like poison

Elliot’s eyes narrowed “what do you want this time.”

The woman threw her head back and laughed “I don’t want anything from you" then produced the cheque and threw it on the table. 

“You left this behind last night, and oh thanks for hanging around.”

“the place didn’t make me feel too welcome.”

“well men aren’t entirely welcomed in a lesbian bar.”

Elliot winched then looked at the cheque “It’s too much I only lent you $5,000” changing the subject

Elliot’s sister sat down and Elliot relaxed and leant against the wall

“I know…it’s also for the legal fees, rehab and the protection money you paid to my body guard while I was inside.”

Elliot looked surprised “Sonya told me how you paid her to look out for me while I was in jail. Just clearing up my debts.

“I don’t want your money.”

The woman laughed “I earned it honestly Elliot, I have a career in music and it pays well.”

“What performing for women, its glorified lap dancing.” He mocked

“It’s honest.” She growls back at him

“Still clean” he pushed

“You want a urine sample” she challenged, “or will a visual inspection do.” The woman got to her feet and rolled up her sleeves to show her arms which where clear of needle marks. “Not convinced.’ She started to undo her jeans

“Alright” bellowed Elliot

Olivia could hear the voices quarrelling.

“And who is this Dylan Cole, what’s his story.” demanded Elliot

Again the woman laughed, “that’s my name.”

“You are Jessica Stabler.”

“Not anymore I have changed it legally, its Dylan Cole now.”

“Why did you have to go and do a stupid thing like that.” shouted Elliot

“If you think I was going to keep that bastard’s name then you’re a fool just like him.” Yelled Dylan back

“I am nothing like him.” Yelled Elliot

“No Elliot you’re right, you just pretend things don’t happen.” She screamed

“We are not doing this here.” He thumped the table causing Dylan to leap up

“that’s right Elliot let not ....it’s easier for you…..”

Elliot frustrated put his hand over his face

“Just forget it.” Dylan went to leave

“Jess wait.” Lowering his voice

“It’s Dylan, Jess Stabler is as dead to me as you are.” She flung open the door and storms off half colliding with Olivia but keeps on going.  Olivia looks back to see Elliot slam the door and the sound of furniture being moved around.

Cragen hearing the commotion looks up to a woman fleeing from the precinct.  Elliot now left the interview room and grabbed his coat

“Elliot” called Olivia

“I need a moment.” And stormed from the room

John looks from Olivia to the captain “what was all that about.”

Olivia just shrugged. “Well who ever that girl is really upset him, I haven’t seen him in this way for a long time

“that was his sister.” Spoke up Cragen

“so I take it they don’t get along.” Joked John

“they have issues.” He responded

“Yeh like what.’ Asked Olivia

“Like its none of our business.”

That night in bed Elliot tossed and turned, eventually getting up and went down stairs. Kathy soon followed her husband. She noticed he had out the family photo album

“Elliot I’m worried you’re not usually this bad, what’s happened.”

He couldn’t look at her. She sensed he was struggling with something “Is there someone else.”

Elliot looked up with sad eyes….. “No…..it’s Jess.”

Kathy feared the worst “What happened….is she….”

Elliot shook his head “No she’s fine….she came to work today. Kathy the cheque was from her.”

Kathy got up and made them some tea

“So Dylan is her boyfriend I take it.”

“No….it’s her name now, she changed it to Dylan Cole”

Kathy sipped her tea then it clicked “Cole is your mother’s maiden name, but why Dylan.”

“I don’t know….why change it at all.”

“Cmon Elliot why would she want to keep his name after what.”

“Alright I don’t need a history lesson, I was there remember.” Snapped Elliot “Oh honey I’m sorry. We ended up fighting and she left.”

“Elliot don’t you think it’s time you two sorted it out, she’s your sister.”

“Yeh and she put me, us through hell.”

“she is still your family. Is she still using.”

“I don’t think so….she looked really healthy. She’s a singer at…..” he paused “Oh god I think my sister is a lesbian. She couldn’t get anymore screwed up.”

Kathy put her cup down and gave a little laugh “Elliot it’s ok to be gay.” And put an arm around him. “It’s not the end of the world, please try and patch things up….she is all you have left and after all you are her big brother.”

 

Elliot’s mood improved over a few days and Olivia tried to talk to him but he just brushed her aside to say it was family stuff.  At the end of the day Elliot offered Olivia a ride home but she declined and said she was meeting someone

“All really” Elliot with interest

“It’s only a friend Elliot so don’t get smug.”

“Well I was getting concerned you should be out living it up Liv.”

“Good night Elliot and go home.”

Elliot laughed “night Liv”

 

Olivia entered HeartThrob just as it was about to heat up and ordered herself a drink. At 11.00pm Dylan was introduced on stage and she got a roar from the woman all pushing to get to the front. She sang and moved around the stage seductively, enters the crowd briefly to stir them up more.

So this was Elliot’s sister thought Olivia with a smile.

Early next morning before Elliot was in Olivia looked up Dylan Cole and the results blew her away “Hello black sheep. No wonder Elliot never talked about you…..you’ve been a very bad girl.”

The rap sheet read her as Jessica Stabler, 34 of no fixed address, has a juvenile record sealed. Charged with numerous drug offences, assault, and attempted suicide was jailed for 7 years for attempted murder. “Fuck.” She let out a little louder than intended

“What’s up” came Elliot’s voice

Olivia switched the machine off quickly “I forgot to pay my power bill’ she lied.
