::::SVU Squadroom::::
It was almost 10pm on a Monday night and the detectives were briefing the captain on their lastest case.
"Alright, victim's name is Shayna Livingston, approximately and ONLY 12 years old..."Elliot Stabler began.
"She was found by a flight attendant in an airplane bathroom. She was raped and then strangled to death by her backpack strap." Olivia Benson continued, both detectives desperately trying to hide their disgust for such a heinous crime claiming the life of a little girl. "Backpack had an ID tag on it. Says she's from Chicago."
"So how is this our case?" Asked Cragen. "Chicago isn't exactly in our jurisdiction."
"Well, the plane she was found on was headed for New York City, it landed here around 5:40pm, M.E. at the scene said time of death had to be around 5:30. That means the plane was over New York when she died, which means technically she died in New York." Explained John Munch.
"Okay, did you already canvas the airport?" Cragen inquired.
"Yes we did." replied Fin Tutuola.
"So?" questioned Cragen. "What did you find out?"
Elliot began, "Well, we spoke to a woman who said she remembered the little girl because she was the same age as her daughter and she was very.....inquisitive. According to the woman, Shayna spent most of the plane ride running up and down the aisle asking all the other passengers questons. Questions about their family, where they were from, etc."
"And where were her parents during all of this?" asked Cragen.
"A gentleman we spoke to who remembered Shayna said he also remembered seeing her mother consume quite a few drinks and then pass out for about the last half an hour of the trip. He said she woke up when the plane landed and started to panic when she couldn't find her daughter. So the flight attendants started to search the plane, checked in the bathroom, and there she was." Olivia explained.
"Any suspects? What else do we know about the mother?" asked Cragen
"You mean besides the fact that she isn't a very good one, getting drunk and passing out on a plane in front of her daughter..." Olivia replied bitterly.
"Mother's name is Janette Dalton, previously known as Janette Livingston. 37 years old, originally from Chicago. Divorced 7 months ago from Richard Livingston, remarried to Thomas Dalton last month." Fin stated.
"Reason for divorce?"
"Mrs. Dalton wouldn't say. She was probably still too drunk to understand the question." Fin said.
"Alright, Benson and Stabler, talk to Warner, see if the perp left any evidence behind. Fin and Munch, you two talk to Mr. Dalton." Olivia and Elliot both storm out of the squadroom, stone-faced and obviously aggravated.
"What's wrong with them?" Cragen asked
"They are OBVIOUSLY TIPing." States Munch.
"TIPing? What on earth is TIPing?!" Fin and Cragen ask simultaneously.
"T.I.P, Taking It Personally." Munch clarifies. Cragen rolls his eyes at Munch and walks back to his office while Fin just stands there and laughs at his partner.
::::Apartment of Thomas Dalton::::
"I met Janette and little Shayna in Chicago 4 months ago while I was on vacation, visiting my sister. Janette and I fell in love and last month we got married and decided to move the three of us to New York because I just got a new job here." explained Mr. Dalton.
"Congratulations." Munch said, obviously wanting to cut to the chase.
"While we were here a couple weeks ago to look for an apartment, Janette found a job."
"And where is this job?" Fin asked.
"She's a secretary for some lawyer guy. Greg Mitchell."
"Okay, just a couple more questions, Mr. Dalton." Munch said.
"Sure, anything you need to know, I'm more than happy to give you any helpful information I have."
"Alright Mr. Dalton, why weren't you on the flight with your wife and stepdaughter?" Munch questioned.
"I drove the moving truck here."
"Oh, that's quite a long drive." Munch stated.
"Yeah, but someone had to do it. All that stuff wasn't gonna get here by itself."
Munch chuckled sarcastically at this cliche response and asked "One more thing, Mr. Dalton, did you know Janette's first husband, Mr. Livingston?"
"I never actually met him, but I felt like I knew him from all the talking about him Janette does."
Fin was intrigued, so he probed for more info. "Really, what kinds of things does she say about him?"
"You know, the usual ex-wife complaints."
Munch smiled in understanding while Fin just rolled his eyes.
"I, unlike my partner, have not been divorced, so could you please elaborate on these 'complaints'?"
"Just a lot of 'He was such a prick, he treated me like his property, I don't know what I ever saw in that man,' and so on."
"Alright, thank you Mr. Dalton." Munch began.
"Please, call me Thomas."
"Okay, Thomas, if you think of anything else that may be helpful, please give us a call." Munch continued as he handed Mr. Dalton his business card.
"Will do." replied Mr. Dalton as he walked the detectives to the dorr and retreated back to the living room once they had left.
::::Medical Examiner's Office::::
"Please tell me the perp left his calling card inside of her so we can make our job a little bit easier." Olivia pleaded.
M.E. Warner got a little smile on her face as she replied "Yep, he did. I'm already running tests on it."
"Great. How long will the tests take?" Elliot asked.
"They should be done by this evening. I'll call you as soon as I get the results."
Olivia and Elliot thanked Warner and walked out the door.
