The two walked back into the squad room.
"Olivia, can you show me where the woman's rest room is." Asked Celia.
"Yea, sure." Replied Olivia, "I'll tell you what we've discussed on the way." With that the two left the squad room.
"Fin, is there something you wanna tell us about Celia?" asked Cragen.
"Like what?" replied Fin.
"Like, why you've already copped an attitude with her, or why you suddenly changed your attitude with her after she went to her car?" asked Cragen.
"She's my ex-fiancé." Said Fin.
"Fiancé?" Said Munch.
"Yea, fiancé. You got a problem with that, John?" snapped Fin.
"No, I just didn't think you were in to white chicks." Smiled Munch.
"I'm not into white chicks, Munch. I'm into her." Fin snapped back.
"So you still got a thing for her?" asked Stabler.
"I always will."
"Is your working together going to be a problem?" asked Cragen.
"Na, we broke up 5 years ago." Said Fin, "But that doesn't mean I still don't care about her."
"You're a good man, Fin." Said Stabler as he gave him an approving pat on the back, "This is what we've been talking about while you were gone." Stabler pulled out a couple papers.
Meanwhile in the bathroom Olivia had been telling Celia what they were going to be doing regarding the case.
"So, we need to get those girls in the station to see what they know." Said Celia as she walked out of the stall. She had changed her clothes and was now wearing a black business pantsuit.
"Yea, but this is going to be a tough case." Said Olivia, as Celia splashed some water on her face and began to touch up her make up, "What I don't understand is why he keeps getting away."
"He's been moving too fast for me to get a trace of him." Said Celia, "I've been hoping that he screws up some where and I'm there to catch it. I just wanna go home."
"That's a beautiful ring on your finger. No wonder you want to go home, you probably haven't scene your fiancé in months." Said Olivia.
"I'm not engaged anymore." Smiled Celia, "But I promised the man who gave this to me that I'd never take it off."
"That was sweet. What was his name?" Olivia asked.
"Odafin."
"You were going to marry Fin?" Olivia said in a shocked tone.
"Yea." Smiled Celia
"I never thought he'd be one to get married." Said Olivia.
"I met him in the academy. I used to be a detective for NYPD, but I got offered a position with the FBI and I took it. That was 5 years ago." Celia somberly replied.
"You going to be ok working with him." Said Olivia, "I can talk to Cragen and make sure that you don't paired up with him."
"No that's alright, we're still friends." Said Celia as she put her hair up, "I'll be fine to work with him." With that Celia and Olivia walked out of the bathroom and joined up with everyone waiting for them in the squad room.
"Ladies, this is Gina Fowler. She's one of Kelly's friends, she's going to get with our sketch artist and we'll get her composite." Said Munch.
"Cragen, I need to call my director, which phone can I use?" asked Celia.
"There is a phone in my office." Replied Cragen.
"Thank you." Said Celia as she walked to his office. As Munch took Gina to the sketch artist, Cragen gave out orders.
"Ok, once we get this girls sketch, we have to take these other sketches and go to the bar she said they were at last night, and the motel, and see who paid for the room." Said Cragen.
"According to Celia's files, he's been paying for them with the credit cards of the Victims." Said Stabler who was holding one of the files.
"How can that be?" asked Benson.
"I'll call the motel and see what they said about payment." Said Fin as he sat down at his desk and called the hotel.
While he was on the phone, Celia walked out of her office with an agitated look on her face. She picked up the briefcase next to Fin's desk and set it on Munches desk next to her files. She went through her several locks on the briefcase to open it. Once it was open, she began loading the clips for her Kimber Eclipse. She took off her jacket and put her holster on and loaded her gun with the clip and put it in the holster and put her jacket back on.
"What did the motel say?" asked Cragen.
"Apparently, they got a call around 10pm from Kelly's "boyfriend", Peter Derter, and paid for the hotel room with her credit card. The guy I talked to was the one who took the reservation, he said that the background noise sounded like it was from a club."
"Gina said that they were at Moon's Horizon last night." Said Munch who was walking back.
"If she was going there to pick up men she wasn't very bright." Said Benson, "That's a pretty seedy place."
"I remember getting calls to that place, back in the day." Said Fin.
"Benson and Stabler go to club and see if anyone there knows anything."
"Munch and Fin, take Celia down to the crime scene." Said Cragen. Everyone agreed and went on their way.
Fin, Munch and Celia arrived at the New Queens Motel around 5pm and got the key to the room. They walked into the motel room, which still reeked of blood and sweat. Celia put on a pair of gloves and walked around the room and carefully looked at everything.
"Everything that was deemed evidence was already taken." Said Munch.
"I know, but I'm looking for something your men might not have taken." Said Celia.
"Like what?" asked Fin. With that Celia got on her knees and began to look underneath the bed.
"I don't know. Something with his real name on it." said Celia. She walked into the bathroom looked underneath the counter and in the trashcan. As she set the trashcan down something caught her eye behind the toilet, "Please oh please oh please." She mumbled as she picked it up.
"What did you find?" asked Munch. Celia opened up the wallet and smiled.
"Does he look familiar to you?" she smiled as she held up the driver's license picture, "I can't believe your men missed something like this."
"Valentino Juarez." Smirked Fin, "Looks like we got our man."
"Call Benson and Stabler." Said Celia, "He fucked up." Munch got out his phone and called them.
"Hey it's Munch. Our guy screwed up because we got his wallet.....It was left in the bathroom.... Yea, behind the toilet....you better believe we're going to find out everything on him.... His name is Valentino Juarez....yea, we'll meet you there." With that John hung up his phone, "We're going to meet up with them back at the station."
Munch, Fin, and Celia walked out of the Motel room and shut the door behind them. They were walking to the car when a black Monte Carlo pulled into the parking lot. The trio still continued on their way to the car, but Fin kept and extra eye on it. The car parked and a man got out.
"Keep it cool. Your man is right behind us." Said Fin.
"Monte Carlo?" said Munch. Celia slowly turned around to look at him. As she turned around to look at him, he stopped as he got out of the car. Celia and the killer stared at each other.
"He's knows who we are." Said Celia as she took off running towards the car.
The killer jumped back into his car, turned it on and threw it into drive. He drove right over the curb and out into traffic. Celia pulled out her gun and fired several shots and hit a tire. The car started to swerve and hit a mailbox, once the car stop moving the killer ran out of the car. Celia was till chasing him down the street. As she ran towards the killer Fin drove past her in the car. She stopped running, figuring that Fin would get him with the car. But the perp. quickly turned down and alley. As Celia watched him turn into the alley, she took off running again. Celia ran into the alley after him. He was on his way up the fence. Celia threw her jacket off and placed her gun back in the holster. By the time she got close to the fence, he was already on the other side. Celia climbed up the fence and fell the other side of the alley. She ran down to the end of the alley. As she exited the alley, she looked around, and the Killer was nowhere to be seen.
"GOD DAMN IT!!" Celia screamed as she walked back into the alley and hopped the fence to get her jacket. She stopped and picked up her jacket out of the mud she dropped it in. She stood there and looked at her jacket in her hand for a few moments before she kicked a garbage can and walked out of the alley. Fin drove up next to her and she walked down the street.
"Damn baby, I haven't seen you move like that since academy days." He laughed.
"I've gotta get off this case." She shook her head as she walked.
"Baby, get in the car. We gotta go back to the station." Said Fin. Celia walked over and got into the car.
"He fucked up so bad by coming back for his wallet, and I still couldn't get him." Sighed Celia, "I still couldn't get him."
Twenty minutes later the three of them walked back into the squad room. Celia threw the wallet onto Munch's desk.
"We were close. But, again he slipped through the crack." Said Munch. Celia sat down at Fin's desk and put her head in her hands. Fin sat knelt down next to her and whispered something in her ear. Celia just shook her head and got up and left the room.
"Look, don't worry about it, we've got his wallet." Said Cragen, "Someone, get a hold of his parents, find out everything you can about him. Fin, where's our fed at?"
"She's in the bathroom."
"I'll go get her." Said Olivia. Olivia walked down to the women's rest room, "Celia, are you here?" she got no answer. Olivia walked in further and checked the stalls, but there was no sign of Celia anywhere. Olivia walked out of the bathroom and back to the squad room, "She's not in the bathroom."
"She's in the men's room." Said Fin, "I'll go talk to her." With that Fin left for the men's room. Fin walked into the men's room hearing sniffs coming from the end stall, "I know you're in here, Baby."
"What do you want?"
"Why are you crying?" Fin asked.
"Because I can."
"How long have you been out on this case?" Fin asked.
"Long enough to make me sloppy at my job."
"You're not sloppy. You ran your ass off today, Baby. Very few people can haul ass like you do." Said Fin. Just then Celia came out of the stall.
"You don't understand, Fin."
"Then make me understand."
"I can't." sighed Celia, "I'm sorry." With that Celia walked out of the bathroom.
Celia walked into the squad room.
"What do we have going on here?" she asked.
"Stabler and Benson went to go talk to the perp's parents. Munch went over to the lab to see what the results of the testings were." Said Cragen.
"Ok. I'm going to go find a hotel or something. I need to shower." Said Celia.
"Ok, try and get some rest too." Said Cragen, "Look, don't get to down on yourself about today. From what Munch said, sounded like you were on his ass for most of the chase."
"Yea." Said Celia. With that Celia grabbed one of her briefcases and was on her way out of the squad room when Fin stopped her again.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I need to find a hotel." She replied.
"No you don't." said Fin. He reached into his pockets and pulled out a set of keys and pulled a key off of it, "I think you remember where I live."
"Fin." Celia sighed, "Are you sure?"
"Yea, girl." Smiled Fin.
"Thank you." Smiled Celia as she wrapped her arms around him in a sweet hug.
"No problem." Said Fin as she walked out the door. Fin walked into the squad room.
"You still love her don't you?" asked Cragen.
"I never stopped." He sighed, "But I'm not getting my hopes up that she's coming back, if that's what you're wondering."
"I just don't want to see you get hurt when she leaves."
"I'm going to help her catch this guy." Said Fin.
"We are going to get him here." Said Cragen.
"Olivia, can you show me where the woman's rest room is." Asked Celia.
"Yea, sure." Replied Olivia, "I'll tell you what we've discussed on the way." With that the two left the squad room.

"So you still got a thing for her?" asked Stabler.

"That's a beautiful ring on your finger. No wonder you want to go home, you probably haven't scene your fiancé in months." Said Olivia.
"I'm not engaged anymore." Smiled Celia, "But I promised the man who gave this to me that I'd never take it off."
"That was sweet. What was his name?" Olivia asked.
"Odafin."
"You were going to marry Fin?" Olivia said in a shocked tone.
"Yea." Smiled Celia
