December 20th 2000

Olivia Benson stood stiffly as she watched the SWAT teams searching the area and dragging out the perpetrators from the large, grey orphanage, who were screaming at them to let them go or that they were 'innocent!'. Her frown changed to one of concern as she saw the dozens of children of all ages be lead out of the building in some sort of daze, some huddled together in fear, while other just wondered on in confusion at what was going on. But one caught her eye. Just a small glimpse at a tiny boy a few meters behind everyone else, holding a brown teddy bear. He had ghostly pale skin and blood red hair, but the strangest thing was his black rimmed eyes. Those cold, unforgiving eyes that should never be possessed by a child. Yet as quickly as he had walked passed her, he was already gone.

"Elliot, did you see all those kids?" Olivia mumbled feeling another headache coming on. She had been up for three days straight working on this case. There were rumors about child abuse in the Sunagakure Orphanage, but no one really took it seriously until they received an anonymous tip about an abused ex-orphan. Elliot's scowl deepened.

"Yeah, I just hope the son of a bitches who did this rot in prison." He growled in response, glaring darkly at the people being shoved into the police vans. Olivia sighed and rubbed her temples.

"Hmm I need to talk to some of these kids, I need to-"

"You need some sleep Liv, you've been up for days on this case, go home. We'll talk to victims tomorrow. I'll drop you home okay?" Elliot interrupted giving her a look that meant no arguing. She sighed and grudgingly nodded her head in agreement. As she followed her partner to his car she felt a bitter chill go down her spine, in the corner of her eye she caught sight of those same haunting jade eyes, quickly she turned her head stepped into the car closing the door behind her.

"You alright Liv?" Olivia turned her head to see if that boy was still there, but he was gone.

"Yeah… yeah I'm fine."

Olivia groaned as she opened the door to the station and slammed it behind her.

"Have you started the interrogations yet?" She asked groggily, walking over to her desk and slumping down into her chair. Munch sighed flicking through the files of the perp they had ready in the interrogation room.

"No they haven't yet, this Yondaime character seems like a real prick." He grumbled getting up and handing the files to Olivia, who began digging into it. Munch was right this guy was a massive prick. A History of complaints for loud noises in the night, aggression problems, violent tendencies. Yet never enough evidence for an investigation.

"Elliot, Olivia your up." Captain said pointing to the door. Elliot gave Olivia a short nod and got up from his chair, grabbing his coffee as he twisted the nob of the door slowly pushing it open.

There sat Yodaime. A man in his early forties, with short spiky brown hair and piercing onyx eyes. Anger was written all over his face as he sat uncomfortably on a hard, steel chair with his arms crossed. Elliot smirked and sat down across from Yodaime.

"So Yodaime is it? Why do you do it huh? You get-What a sick kick out of hitting kids?" Elliot grinned, though the venom in his words clear. Yodaime snarled.

"Shut your mouth!"

Olivia walked up behind Elliot and leaned forward a little, a sickly sweet smile plastered on her face.

"Oh no, they just keep running around never stilling still-" Yodaime cut her off.

"Shut up!"

"They scream! They cry! They never shut up! So you had to make them didn't you? You and the rest of your little friends?"

"SHUT UP!" He snarled.

"YOU beat those children, YOU and the rest of your staff didn't you!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Yodaime shrieked, slamming his fists down on the table in rage. Elliot remained quiet the whole time staring at Yodaime in disgust. A knock on the door broke the awkward silence as captain stuck his head through the doorway, his hand motioning them to leave. Slowly the two partners made their way through the door, shutting it behind them.

"He's guilty captain, it's obvious! Did you see his face when I said he had beat them?" Olivia said reaching for a coffee conveniently waiting for her on the desk. Elliot nodded in agreement leaning on a table.

"I know, but you still need to interview the victims." Captain Cragen answered, dropping down three files.

"Elliot I want you to interview a young girl named Hinata, Fin a kid named, um, Shikamaru? and Olivia a boy named Gaara." The three assigned detectives snatched their victim's files off the table and began scanning the pages. Olivia's body froze at the sight of the boy she would be talking to. It was him. That tiny little boy she saw yesterday, but framed in a small box on the piece of paper in her hands.

NAME: Gaara no Sabaku

AGE: 8

GENDER: Male

EYE COLOUR: Green

SKIN: White

RELETIVES: Father: Yodaime Kazekage, Mother: Karura no Sabaku, Brother: Kankuro no Sabaku, Sister: Temari no Sabaku.

She stared at the page in disbelief. 'That freak in there is his father?' Cragen clapped his hands together.

"Okay get in there."

Olivia exhaled deeply and stepped into the small, cramped room she had been in so many times before.

"Hey sweetie, mine names Olivia what's yours?" She said giving him a comforting smile as she sat down across from him. The boy looked up at Olivia in confusion and griped his teddy bear even tighter.

"Gaara." He said cautiously inching away from her. Olivia frowned inwardly but kept on smiling.

"It's okay honey, no one's going to hurt you. I just want to ask you some questions, alright?" She said softly waiting for him to answer. Gaara gave a curt nod and stared blankly at her.

"Alright, just tell me if you want me to stop okay?" Another nod.

"Did any one at the orphanage do anything mean to you?" Gaara visibly flinched and looked away, glaring at the floor.

"They would call me names." He muttered icily. Olivia gave him a sympathetic look.

"Who would?"

"Everyone."

"Did anyone try to hurt you when you were there?" Gaara's face froze in terror then twisted into a pain expression, he closed his eyes clutching his head and screamed. Olivia was in the least to say a little bit taken back at Gaara's sudden outburst. Jumping up from her chair she darted over to Gaara wrapping her arms around him, rocking him gently.

"Shhh it's okay sweetie, calm down no one's going to hurt you any more." She cooed, running her fingers through Gaara's vibrant red hair in a soothing motion until he began to quite down to small whimpers. She almost pulled away when she felt something on the left side of Gaara's forehead. She brushed away some of his hair, careful not disturb him. Her eyes widened at the sight on a tattoo in a foreign language, but after tracing the symbol she realized something that made her skin crawl. It wasn't a tattoo, it was a scar. Olivia frowned and pulled Gaara closer to her.

"Gaara, if they did anything to you, you need to tell me." Olivia said in a soothing voice. Gaara looked up at her with tied eyes and buried his face in her shoulder, she couldn't help but think they resembled a panda's or a racoon's eyes.

"They tried to kill me…so many times," Olivia looked at the large mirror on the wall in horror, knowing that Captain Cragen had been watching the whole time behind the protective shield of glass.

"For how long?" She whispered into his ear. Gaara hid his face deeper into the crock of Olivia's neck.

"Two years…on my sixth birthday." The detective stayed quiet the whole time as she got up to the door, before she left she gave Gaara one last glance.

"Thank you for your help Gaara." Before closing the door.

No one seemed to notice the demented smirk on the disturbed little boys face.

"Alright people not that I didn't get enough evidence from Olivia's interview to put that bastard away for a least ten years. We still need some more evidence on the others." Alex said walking into the room wearing a black short sleave T-shirt and long dark brown pants. Captain Cargen sat waiting for Elliot and Fin to finish, in no sooner than ten fifteen minutes later they both came out.

"That Shikamaru kid has to be the biggest freaking lazy-ass I have ever met." Fin grumbled rubbing his eyes in frustration.

"I swear to God he actually fell asleep three times!" Elliot chuckled.

"Hm Hinata was a shy little girl, but I think that Hisashi guy has been beating her, I noticed that she keep looking away when I mentioned him and pulling down her sleaves." Captain nodded at them and turned to Olivia who was being unusually quiet.

"You okay Liv?" Elliot asked. Thank God Cragen decided to answer for her.

"She had a tough interview, Kid had a bit of mental break down."

The rest of the squad nodded knowing how hard it was when a victim had an episode.

"Alright you get a confession out of Yodaime and interview some more victims and I'll get a judge." Alex said before adding.

"That guy's going to need a hell of a good lawyer."

Two months later

Yodaime had been sentenced to 25 years for child abuse and attempted murder.

Hisashi had been sentenced to 15 years for child abuse and assistance in attempted murder.

15 other members of staff at the Sunakgakure Orphanage were sentenced 5-25 years in jail. 15 out of 37.

There was a blinding flashing of the press's cameras snapping photo's of Yodaime kazekage being dragged out of court screaming about 'the demon' who was responsible for all this and that every one would pay for their stupidity. The press was swamping him and lawyers with questions.

"Mister Kazekage! Is it true you tried to murder your own son?"

"Yodaime where are your other children!"

"Miss Cabot! Is it true that one of the detectives in your agency has adopted one of the victims!"

"No comment."

Standing outside across from city hall stood was a woman with shoulder length brown hair holding the hand of a tiny little boy with crimson red hair, pale skin, holding brown teddy bear.
