Hey guys. I wanted to start a new story that was a little different than my other ones. I've noticed that a lot of the best stories focus equally on cases, and characters lives. I've been focusing primarily on Liv and Elliot's personal life, so I wanted to make something a bit more like the show, with my own twist of course. There is, of course, some pg topics such as rape and murder. But this will be an overall pretty tame story, at least that's what I'm planning. I'd like to mention that when it comes to time in this story it isn't like in the show, in this fic Liv and Tucker still talk, along with her and Elliot, through facetime. That's always my biggest pet peeve of the show, I get Elliot was written off but it's not like she would just never talk to him again, they could have a phone conversation or something. I mean they were too close to just stop talking. Well anyway, Hope you enjoy!
Liv sat there at her desk, lost in space. Her head couldn't wrap itself around the case. How could someone just disappear? Of course, people had seemingly disappeared before, but never like this. Allen Norbeck had been a wealthy businessman living in Boston. He had suddenly disappeared a week before his rape trial, taking a young girl with him. The child was Louise stroom, a 7-year-old girl who had been taken from a local park. Her parents had given all the information possible, they knew what his face looked like, what kind of car, the license plate, everything. Yet they still hadn't had a single lead. They had checked traffic cameras and put posters up. There was just no trace of him. Liv saw Cragen walking in, looking none too excited. "Captain, did you find anything on the license plate?" His head drooped a bit. "No, but we did get a hit on those fingerprints they found on the bat left in the park. Not his, but one Jonathon Parker. A 27-year-old broker who lives 2 blocks away from Allen." Liv breathed a silent breath of relief. "Okay fin and Rollins, you guys go check it out, I'm going to stay here and start running Jonathon's face through the system." They shuffled out as Liv sat back down. She typed in his information and was astounded to find that nothing came up. "Um, captain?" She said with a confused look on her face. "What, you get something?" "no, actually. There is no Jonathon Parker." He scrunched his brow. "What are you talking about? The house is registered in that name, he can't use a fake ID for that." Then it clicked. "But what if he was the one who did the legal paperwork? He's a broker" His face snapped back. "You're right, why would he need to buy a house under a fake name though? Tell you what, you guys dig up anything you can on this guy, let me know what you find."
It was roughly 3 hours later and they were still searching. After looking around the house Rollins and Fin found nothing but a cleared out house. As if he knew someone would be coming, he had taken absolutely everything out a few days ago, according to a neighbor. "Ok, and did he come out much? Did he seem to have a social lifestyle?" Rollins asked the man. "No, actually he's been living here for 3 months, and I've only seen him out a handful of times." "ok, and did you ever see anything unusual?" the man thought for a moment. "The only thing I can think of is a few nights ago. He must have been walking home or something, but I went up to my window and saw a woman screaming at him. She was obviously drunk, kept calling him Peter. She said something about him telling the truth. I just ignored it, thinking it was just some drunk girl he said no to." As Rollins wrote she mouthed a "thank you" They started to walk away. "So, looks like Liv was right, Jonathon is not this guys name. I just wish we had the last name too."
They walked into Liv and Cragen talking at her desk. "I know that this is going to be a long case but trust me I'm fine." "liv, it's only been a month, I want you to get some rest, and get away from work for a second." It was true, it had only been a month. It had been one month since it happened. She still woke up sometimes, thinking of his face. She still had to calm her breathing now and then, hearing his voice. She was tortured by that voice. But this was not the time for that. Somebody could very well be dealing with that right now at just 7. "Just, please Captain, let me do my job for a few more hours. I will go home when everybody else does." He caved. "Alright fine, but you know I'm only doing this for your well being. I care about you Liv" She smiled ever so slightly. "I know," she said.
As Liv walked out Fin set down the phone and got up from his seat. "Alright, Jonathan's neighbor that we talked to was just shot in his apartment." They pulled up to the scene as they were pulling the body out." Rollins ran over to it. "Woah, wait. Hold on. What does this say?" There was writing on his chest. "Don't waste your words" "because he talked, that woman yelling at him must have something to do with this, he's mad at him."
"There must be some sort of correlation. Maybe the woman is his girlfriend, or a relative? They must be close if she knows his real name." Liv sat thinking. "But how would he get to the apartment to do all that without anyone seeing him? Everybody in the neighborhood got a flyer about him. You'd think somebody would have had to be outside." The puzzled look on her face made Rollins realize it was time to leave. She got up and grabbed her coat from the chair, followed by Fin, and the rest of the team.
Liv opened the door and set down her bag. She heard aria coming down the hall. "Hi puppy!" she said, rubbing the dogs head. Aria was a husky puppy she had gotten after what happened to keep her protected. Of course, as a puppy, it was all for her adorableness, but when she grew up she'd be great at protecting her family. "Tiffany?" She walked in to see her sitter helping Noah with his 1st-grade math homework. "Hi, , sorry I didn't hear you come in." "you're fine," she said, sitting down next to her son. "Mommy, look at how many I got right." he said, hugging her. "Wow! That's awesome. Did you thank Tiffany for helping you?" He looked at her shyly. "Thank you Tiffany" He said. Liv laughed. "Alright sweet boy, time to get your pajamas on, remember Tucker is coming over tomorrow to bring you on an adventure!" He walked to his bedroom as Liv cleaned up some of his toys. "So I'll see you on Wednesday then?" "yes, he'll be ready for another fun day. Thanks again Tiffany" "of course, it is my job" she said with a laugh. "Good night" "good night" She walked into Noah's bedroom to see him ready, Pj's on and everything. "Ok, which book do you want to read tonight?" "let's do the dinosaur one!" "ok, we'll read 2 chapters" about 10 minutes later he was asleep. Liv looked down, marveling over him. 'That's my son' she thought to herself. She gently kissed his head and pulled his covers over his head, turning out the light as she walked out.
