{name:Scott#|#picture:21}Scott looked around, trying to hide the horror on his face. Surburbia wasn't exactly 'his' sort of place.
"Yeah.....'nice'........too perfect......think ya can be allergic to this?" He asked, gesturing around the perfectly set out house and garden.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna smiled and then began to laugh.
"If you can - I got it bad."
Brushing all prejudice aside, she put on her work shoes as it were, and got ready to knock. She strode up the driveway and stood at the door.

{name:Scott#|#picture:21}Scott grinned as he slipped out of the car, and followed Anna up to the door of the house, glanciing around, already noticing the curtains twitching.
"We must really look like cops." He muttered, nodding to the twitching curtains.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Deciding to give them something to look at she grabbed her badge and gave it a polish, then gave a sneaky grin to Scott.
"Sorry, nosy neighbors do my nut in!"
She knocked on the door rapidly, three times in succession.

{name:Scott#|#picture:21}Scott rolled his eyes, and nodded.
"Same here. Although, taht said, I guess being plain nosey in general is exactly the same!" He said, feeling slightly rueful. He listened to the footsteps he could faintly hear, and braced himself as the door cracked open.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna prepared her most dazzling smile as the door opened. She almost gasped when a small man dressed in black opened the door.
"May I help you ma'am?"
Anna nodded.
"Yes we were called here? New York SVU?"
The man nodded and gestured her to follow. She noticed he had a towel in his belt.
"They have a butler?" She mouthed silently to Scott.

{name:Scott#|#picture:21}{name:Scott#|#picture:21}Scott felt his jaw try to drop, as he tried to remain professional. A butler? Seriously? He shot a sideways disbelieving glance at Anna, his expression one of pure shock. He followed the butler nonetheless, and they were taken into a cosey room which, to Scott, seemed as big as his whole apartment. It was warm, despite the chill, and had cosey chairs in it although everything had a place and nothing seemed disturbed.
He glanced to the people sitting and standing around, cleared his throat lightly, showing his badge cautiously at his waist.
"Manhatten SVU, we were called?" He stated, still looking around, trying to pinpoint who looked in charge.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna stood next to Scott and looked at the couple seated on loungers next to a rather expensive looking painting. The woman, a thin, blond woman with translucent looking skin sat sniffling to herself, and a man with graying hair and what looked like the beginnings of a paunch. The man began to speak.
"Yes, sorry, it was all a misunderstanding. There was a party, it got out of hand..."
His wife gave a large hiccup from the other lounger and Anna simply looked at Scott. They were lying, that much was obvious, but how to say it.

{name:Scott#|#picture:21}Scott caught Anna's look, and nodded slightly. They were definetly lying, you could tell that from the womens expression, and demeaner. He cleared his throat again, quieter this time, and locked eyes with the man.
"With all due respect Sir, we're Special Victims Unit. We don't normally get calls for a party that 'got out of hand'." He said, eyes never wavering, although he caught a general stiffness seem to ripple through the men, and he too stiffened. When he was younger, guys tightening up was never good.
"We can't help if no one says anything." He finished, finally allowing himself to glance around the room at each person in turn.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Out of the corner of her eye, Anna saw a girl, probably about seventeen peering from around the corner. She glanced at Scott, and cocked her head toward the girl.
"Mr...?" Anna prompted
"Shaw. William Shaw."
"Mr Shaw, how about we discuss this further. Maybe get your wife a drink?" He nodded and led her to the kitchen.

{name:Scott#|#picture:21}Scott spotted Anna glancing his way, and followed the direction of her nod, catching sight of the girl. He again nodded slightly, and as Anna followed Mr Shaw out of the lounge he glanced around at the few other people left, with a small smile.
"Can I use your bathroom quick? I wont be a minute." He asked, with his 'good ol' boy' face on. The few remaining occupants looked at each other, before the man tothe left of Mrs Shaw nodded.
"First left, top of the stairs." He said, stiffly. Scott nodded, with a smile, and turned to walk out of the room. He spotted the girl, who had shrunk back against the wall slightly.
"Hey, I'm Scott, Scott Eads. You OK?" He asked, softly, keeping an eye on the people in the room. She nodded, looking behind him.
"My Dad's gonna tell you two to leave soon." She said, softly, before sprinting up the stairs. He heard a door close firmly, and the man who had given him directions come out of the room.
"Maybe you should come back in, wait for your partner." He said, quietly.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna came slowly back into the lavish room, and could immediately feel the change in environment. It was colder, more tense.
"Well, if you're sure that we're not needed..."
"I'm sure." Mr Saw said - interrupting Anna.
"OK. Well, after you." Anna said to Scott.

{name:Scott#|#picture:21}Scott nodded, locking eyes with Shaw and nodded tightly.
"You've got our number if you change your minds Sir." He said, trying to keep his tone light and neutral. He started to leave, feeling Anna behind him, and let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, and turned to Anna as they got into the car.
"Something happened there. That girl is scared stiff, all she said was 'my Dads gonna ask you to leave soon.' Then she ran upstairs, and I got asked to wait in the lounge till you came back." He said, voice constricting tightly as he spoke.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna nodded, and clicked her seatbelt into place. She looked into her rear view mirror and adjusted it slightly. Suddenly, a man came into focus, with a tattoo on his arm. Anna felt her blood run cold, and a shiver run down her spine. She knew him. As if a ghost had blown into her ear, she gave a huge shudder, and quickly pulled away from the drive.
"So back to the precinct huh?" She said, hoping Scott hadn't noticed.

{name:Scott#|#picture:21}As Scott clicked his seatbelt into place, he saw Anna give a shudder, and he looked up sharply, following her line of sight as she spoke to him. Seeing nothing, his brows furrowed deeply.
"Hey, what's up?" He asked, concern lacing his voice. "You look like you've seen a ghost." He continued, looking around, catching sight of a shadowy figure, but dismissing it.
