Chapter 1: Agony and Desire

Lieutenant Olivia Benson-Cabot is hot on the trail of Dameon Atkins, an unemployed steel woker who had raped nine year-old Pauline Mason before killing her Teacher, Marlene Dawson beforr he kidnapped the girl, now Atkins is speeding away in an attempt to elude Olivia.

Olivia radioed ahead for additional Highway Patrol units to back her up. Liv also requests a Police helicopter to track Atkins from the air.

Atkins gripped the steering wheel tightly as he made a hard right turn.

Olivia made the turn while relaying the necessary information to Dispatch.

Rounding another corner at break-neck speed, Atkins nearly tipped the small Toyota sedan over, but thankfully he was able to regain control of the car.

"Benson-Cabot, this is Commander Mizuki Tai of the Highway Patrol, I need you to terminate your pursuit."

Olivia was stunned, she knew what Pauline's fate would be if she stopped chasing Atkins.

"Not a chance, Pauline Mason is going to-." Olivia said before being cut off by Mizuki.

"As long as he's on these highways Lieutenant, Atkins is my responsibility."

"And getting Pauline back safely to her parents is mine, Commander." Olivia quipped in reply.

Olivia put down her radio and pressed the gas, hoping against hope that she would be able to save Pauline and end this peacefully.

Pauline was scared out of her mind, all she wanted was to go home to her Stepmom, Gwen and her Dad, Timothy. Pauline missed her family so much.

"Hey kid, how you holdin' up?" Dameon asked, his eyes never leaving the road.

Pauline stays quiet and doesn't answer his question.

Not one to tolerate disrespect, Dameon delivers a hard slap across the little girl's face, leaving a sizeable bruise on the child's face. This brought Pauline to tears.
