Sorry, couldn't help but name the chapter this. Since Marishka loves Taylor Swift I thought it was fitting.

Elliot and Liv walked into the precinct the next more to find Quinton Gregory already in interrogation. They tried to listen in, but Cragen sent them away to an appartment in Chelsea. A woman was raped the night before and found nearly dead by her girlfriend and their son. The woman had been transported to the hospital, but the rapist left something behind that CSU thought they should see. 

Liv  walked into the apartment first to the smell of ammonia. It made her gasp and cough. She turned her head into Elliot's chest in attempt to hide the smell from her nose. Elliot automatically put his arm around her waist and held her close. The smell was unbearable. One of the CSU workers came to give them respirators. They both thanked the man and put their breathers on, taking a deep breath of filtered air from their masks. 

"What happened here?" Liv asked, muffled. 

Melinda, also wearing a respirator, came to them and lead the two through the house. It looked clean, but the air quality was the worse Liv's ever smelt. "Some kook dumped a whole gallon of ammonia on the air filter in here and left the ac on after the rape. The victim, Hannah Douglass, was knocked unconscious after the rape, then the perp must have drenched the filter. Hannah might not make it. She's been smelling this since around midnight last night. Girlfriend and son came home at around ten after a trip up north to the smell and victim laying on the ground, bleeding from the head."

Elliot shook his head in disbelief as he walked around the crime scene. "Any DNA?"

He bent down to look at a picture that had been knocked off the night stand. It was of the trio at Disney Land in Orlando. (Disney World?) They looked so happy. "Not yet, but CSU isn't done combing through everything."

They quickly left, making sure to leave their masks on until they were outside. A sign that they didn't notice on the door to the building going in, stated that the building was to be evacuated to make sure it was safe for all the other tenants. "I can't believe someone would do that." Liv shut the door to the svu and looked at the building. A family of five were walking out with a suitcase each. She was sure that the police department was going to put the tenants in a hotel until the building was deemed safe again, if the people didn't have anywhere to go themselves. 

They headed to the hospital to talk to the victim and her family. The doctor met them at the station and explained what was going on with the victim. She was still out of it, but there was a small chance that she would make it. The ammonia had already started to settle into her lungs and they were afraid it would lead to her death. They instead talked to the girlfriend. 

She had come home with Seth, their son to the smell and her on the floor in the bedroom. She was naked and bleeding from a head wound. She stayed home due to not wanting to spend time with her in laws. So far things didn't look good for the case. She didn't have any enemies, even though she was a lesbian, people loved her at her office. 

"We literally have no leads," Liv said in disbelief as they walked into Cragen's office. He had called them to his office at the hospital. 

Elliot shrugged. "Let's hope that she wakes up to tell us what happened, or something from CSU or Taru."

Cragen was standing behind his desk, looking odd. Liv and Elliot exchanged a look before Elliot decided to ask, "What's up?"

"So, Mr. Gregory has gotten a deal with the DA. He pleaded guilty to  two counts of sexual assault in exchange for the breaking and entering and attempted murder on Dickie. Munch and Fin are on the way to arrest Crates." Cragen gave a smile to Liv and Elliot, who looked at each other with happiness. 

"So," Elliot started slowly, "its over?"

Cragen nodded. "It's almost over. We will see what Crates has to say, then maybe your live get back to normal." 

Liv clapped her hands to her mouth in shock as Elliot went to hug her. She threw her arms around Elliot's neck and he kissed her neck and spun her around for a moment. They both laughed in relief. 

They opened the door to the office to see Munch and Fin walking Crates into one of the interview rooms. Crates saw Elliot and gave a smile to him. He stopped and looked at Liv, a glint in his eyes that Elliot knew from predators. He put his arm around Liv's back and pulled her away from Crates as Fin shoved him into the room. 

Elliot tried to go to the glass and listen in, but Cragen cleared his throat. Elliot looked at his captain who gave a knowing look. Liv grabbed Elliot by the shirt and pulled him away from the glass. "Hey, that was CSU. We lucked out. Semenial Fluid and pubic hair was found at the scene. No hits in CODIS, but Melinda says that the perp is definitely kin to Hannah." 

So, we need to talk to the girlfriend about all male family members of Hannah." Elliot responded, looking towards the interview room. Liv knew how much he wanted in there, if not just to find out the real reason why his old friend would do this to his family. He sighed and eventually cleared his throat. "Let's go back to the hospital." He grabbed his coat and left her behind, staring at the spot he was just standing.
