Elliot let Dickie and Sarah ride with Nadine in the ambulance to the hospital. The doctor was asking Nadine for a rape kit when Elliot walked in. Nadine looked from Sarah to Elliot, unsure. "They've done plenty of rape kits. Sarah can stay in here with you while they do their job and I'll come back in with Dickie to ask questions." Nadine nodded and Elliot waved for Dickie to follow him. 

It took around fifteen minutes for the Rape kit to get finished and Elliot to be welcome back in. The nurse gave a brief overview of the kit, "There was some fluids. Bruising around her thighs and genital area suggests she might have fought back a little. Some anal tearing as well."

"What do you remember last night?" Elliot asked, watching Dickie go and hold Sarah's hand while Sarah was comforting Nadine. His son really was becoming a respectable young man that he could be proud of. 

Nadine shook her head, thinking. "I remember having a couple drinks of the punch. Bryson Kemp, Sarah, Dickie, and I watching a Saw marathon. Bryson being a little bitch on some of the gory scenes and complaining. He left with his brother for a little while; said his brother needed someone to help him move something real quick. He came back and got us all some fresh punch and it started to get fuzzy after that. Bryson gave me three more drinks and then, " she paused to think harder, "possibly Bryson's brother came over and tried to drive me home."

"I think I remember that too. I wasn't as far gone as Sarah and Nadine. Brian Kemp came and said he'd take Nadine home and give Sarah and I some time alone. Nadine refused, but Bryson and Brian insisted. I was going to call you, but then Bryson forced me to take another drink before I called you because I sounded 'horse'." Dickie looked at his father. 

Elliot listened intently. He knew his son wouldn't get drunk after his friendship with Sean went. He knew his son missed his friend still. "Anything else you all can remember?" Elliot asked, looking to the three. 

Dickie furrowed his brows in attempt to remember while Sarah and Nadine shook their heads at each other. "I woke up at Central Park in a bush with my pants at my ankles and very sore. I stumbled around with a bad headache until a couple found me and called you," Nadine finished. 

"I'll leave you to rest. Dickie," Elliot jerked his head to the side where Dickie followed. Lowering his voice, Elliot said, "I'm going to leave you with them. Take care of them."

Dickie nodded seriously. "Thanks for everything, dad."

Elliot walked back in the station house and was bombarded by Cragen fuming. "You interviewed your son?" He asked angrily. 

He took off his jacket and hung it on the back of his chair. "No, I interviewed Nadine Brown, the victim. Dickie and Sarah just happen to be there and fill some gaps in for Nadine. We have a suspect and his brother to look into."

Cragen shook his head and gritted his teeth. "You should have called Fin or me to come down there with you."

Elliot shrugged. "I took the interview and that was that." He looked at Cragen hard, daring him to send him home. 

"From now on, Fin handles interviews with the teens," Cragen pointed at Elliot. 

Elliot nodded a couple times, biting his lip. Dickie wasn't even the victim, he was just being supportive to his girlfriend and her best friend. "Captain, I also think we should involve CPS with this one. Dickie and Sarah told me that Nadine's mother is a druggie and Nadine spends more time with Sarah and her family than at home."

Cragen thought about it for a moment then nodded in agreement. "Okay, you start working on background and searching the Kemp boys. Fin, you and Munch head out and meet with CPS. I'll call them to let them know you're on the way." He went to Elliot's phone and dialed a number he knew by heart. He explained what was going on so far and CPS would meet Fin at the hospital. 

For the rest of the day, Elliot did a thorough background check on Bryson and Brian Kemp. They had a small sheet dating back to when they were in their early teens. Deals prevented them from going to juvie. Brian Kemp was a dropout of highschool and ended up working at a gas station near Central Park. He had an old junker car that was four different colors. His credit card was used at a nearby corner store and footage from the place showed him and his brother leaving the store with alcohol. 

Further footage showed the Kemp brothers escorting Nadine, who seemed way too drunk to consent to anything, and drive off on the the way to central park. Elliot spent another hour following their car on various security cameras until they reached Cental Park where their were no cameras any longer. Elliot was very lucky there were so many cameras and the Kemp brothers were shown in every single one of them. 

"Fin, yeah, this is an open and shut case. Bring Brian and Bryson Kemp in for interviews," Elliot told Fin over the phone.
