Escaping the Center
Title: Escaping the Center
Summary: Dr.’s Sydney and Jacob Green, Jarod (age 17) and Kyle (age 13) work together with the members of the SVU squad to put the Center out of business.
Genre: This is a Pretender AU cross with Law and Order: SVU.
Warnings: Extreme violence against children, rape, torture of children, under aged sex, kidnapping, male/male sex, murder and angst. This is not for the squeamish. Most of the violence takes place ‘off screen’ but is referred to and is talked about in non-graphic terms. Dialog in * * is twin speak, other languages are noted where applicable.

Dr. Sydney Green watched as the two SVU detectives ate their lunch at the bar. He and his brother had been watching them for days. He had even asked Jarod to sim them to find out if they were trustworthy or not. Jarod had said they were. Now that the moment had come he was even more nervous than he had expected to be. He knew that he was going to jail, but all of their planning came down to this single chance. If he could get them to believe him, then Jarod and Kyle would be rescued and those who had destroyed so many children’s lives and minds would be punished, including him and his brother.
Finally Detective Stabler walked to the rest room. This was his chance. Sydney followed directly behind him. Once inside Sydney glanced around to make sure that they were alone and then locked the door. Quickly he had his gun out and was holding it to the back of the detective’s head. “Please don’t make me use this,” he pleaded softly.
“What do you want?” Elliot asked just as quietly.
“There is a corporation that is breaking every law possible where children are concerned. They have kidnapped, raped, both mentally and physically, murdered, exploited and everything else you can imagine and probably a great deal you can’t, a group of special children. They are geniuses with special talents. I’m going to slip a disk into your pocket.” Sydney put his words into action. “It contains proof of what I’m telling you. If anyone finds out I’ve said anything to you, they will torture the child in my care while forcing me to watch before they kill me and then they will kill him if he survives the torture. I am not joking Detective Stabler. This is very serious and if you tell the wrong person, they will kill you, your family and anyone else who has come into contact with this information. The men in charge of this corporation are very highly placed and wield a great deal of power. Most of the work done by this corporation is legitimate. That was how I ended up in this situation. You and your partner are the children’s only chance. Please don’t turn around until I’ve gone.” Sydney put his gun away and left. Now it was up to the detectives.
Elliot Stabler finished his business and washed his hands. That had been interesting to say the least. He had felt the disk being slipped into his pocket, so the guy had at least told the truth about that and he hadn’t shot him. From the sound of his voice the guy really hadn’t wanted to shoot him. He had stayed directly behind Stabler at all times so his voice was all he had to go on. Hopefully there was more on the disk that would tell him what was going on.
Back at the station house he had Liv, Munch and Fin gathered around his desk as he slipped the disk into his computer. A pop up asked him for his mother middle name. Non-pulsed, Elliot typed it in, to the snickers of Fin and Munch. The snickers stopped as a video came up on the screen. The scene was a horrific one. The same one that the man had told Elliot awaited him if it was found that he had given Elliot the disk. A five year old boy was being raped and tortured, his skin being cut off slice by slice, by a man in a suit while another man in shirt sleeves was fighting two other suited figures to get to the child. Before the child died, the struggling man was shot. The camera angle widened to show a group of on lookers. All were men in suits; most of them had boys at their sides. Two of the men were a set of identical twins and the boys with them had their faces buried in their bodies, while the twins were holding them so as to shield them as much as possible. There was no audio to the tape but a man smoking a cigarette said something and the boys were forcibly removed from the twins’ arms and shoved until they could see the bodies.
The video ended and a menu of files came up on the screen. “That’s what the guy said would happen to him and his kid if anyone finds out he gave me this disk,” Elliot said in the stunned silence.
“What else did he say?” Captain Cragan asked, coming up behind them.
“That the people behind this are a mostly legitimate corporation and that was how he got involved with this. He says that Liv and I are the kids’ only chance.” Stabler looked at his Captain. “He also said that these men were high up on the food chain, that was why he was pulling the cloak and dagger routine.”
“I don’t care how high up on the food chain these men are. That kid couldn’t have been more than five. Stabler, go over everything on that disk with a fine toothed comb. If the guy who passed it to you knew enough about you and Olivia to know that you were good cops, maybe he put some other suggestions of who to trust with this on that disk.”
“I’ll try to figure out who the man giving orders is.” Liv volunteered.
“Don’t bother,” Munch said. “I know who the guy is. I had to do a security detail for the governor once. That guy was on the guest list and the governor was kissing his ass. His name is Raines. He is one of the head honchos over at the Center, a huge think tank. These guys do military, political, medical, you name it research and a lot of the contracts are finished in record time, to the tune of a lot of cash. I’m talking finding out how to run a campaign guaranteed to get you into office, or finding out the cause of a plane crash five times faster than anyone else, or a medical cure ten years before other research companies. Your whistle blower is right Elliot; we’re going to have to go very quietly on this one.”
