A/N: This was written for the tth100. The only linking thing for these is Faith in them.
Summary: Faith calls Detective Benson to chat.

“This is Detective Benson.”
“Livi? Wasn’t sure you were still around,” said a voice that brought back memories.

*****

It was her first year with SVU and one case had been a 10 year old girl’s rape case.
“Hey there, sweetie. My name’s Olivia. What’s yours?”
“Livi? My mommy called me Faith.”
“Nice to meet you.”

For some reason, Olivia had never been able to get Faith’s case out of her head. Oh, they caught the guy who did it, but it seemed Faith felt she’d found a friend in the detective. She sent Olivia letters, telling her how she was. Eventually, the letters petered off, then had stopped altogether. Now here was Faith, calling her.
“So, how have you been?”
“Good. Never forgot about you and how you helped me out. I just wanted you to know that I’m doing okay. Not always the easiest road, but I’m making it,” she commented with a chuckle. “I never forgot how you fought for me. I mean, the pain never quite went away, but I knew you had my back.”
Olivia smiled at the thought, then glanced down at the ID screen to see the number for California State Corrections.
