Climbing out of the taxi as it pulled up to the crime scene she quickly headed towards the taped off building, showing the uniform her badge and getting a brief nod of acknowledgement she clipped her badge to the lapel of her jacket and went to find her partner. It didn't take long to find him among the mass of people and she was quickly bought up on the going on around her. "Holly Warren, 29, lives alone and from what we can tell a single mother, doesn't appear to be a dad in the picture. Babies missing. Warner said she was raped and strangled manually, clear hand print around the throat." Before Elliot could finish his run down of what they had found Liv tried to take in her surroundings and not think about the baby that was out there somewhere probably with the monster who killed its mother. Looking at the few framed pictures scattered around the apartment she could tell that the baby was probably about a year old, walking further into the apartment she realized Elliot hadn't mentions an occupation. "Do we know what job she had?" she shouted back to Elliot from her position in Holly's bedroom.

"She was a Nurse" answered a voice she didn't recognize.

Stepping out of the bedroom she looked in the direction of the front door and noticed a young woman looking directly at her, it didn't take long to figure out that she had been crying. Before Olivia could protest and say she shouldn't be near a crime scene she noticed the crying baby sitting in a car seat next to her. Looking back towards Elliot she gave him a nod to indicate she would talk to her. She led her back into the hallway and down into the lobby of the apartment building, letting her take a seat Olivia asked all the usual questions. She had found out the woman she was sitting next to was Mary Jackson, Holly's neighbough who lived a floor bellow her, she babysat when Holly was at work.

"Is she Holly's baby?" she asked looking down at the still crying baby.

"Yeah she is, I haven't been able to stop her from crying all afternoon, I thought she was getting sick so I was bringing her home early." She answered leaning down to pick up the crying infant. The almost desperate cries didn't subside as she cradled the baby to her chest.

"What's her name?" Olivia asked as she absently stroked the baby's back to try and sooth her; both women were shocked as the cries subsided and a pair of piercing blue eyes turned to look at Olivia. Before Mary could reply a pair of small arms were reaching to Liv trying to pull her closer. Looking back to Mary she got a small smile to let Olivia know it was ok to hold the baby. The second she was in Olivia hands she was clinging tightly to her neck and trying to burrow her face in her hair, successfully hiding her face.

"Her names Isabelle and she seems to have taken a liking to you." She finally replied with a small smile on her face, finally happy that the baby had stopped crying.

Before Olivia could reply Elliot appeared in front of her saying that they had finished with the crime scene and that social services had been phoned and wouldn't be able to pick up Isabelle until at least mid day tomorrow. Anger and frustration filled Olivia as she thought of how this innocent child had lost everything and would now probably end up in the system at such a young age. Before anyone could voice their opinions Mary interrupted mentioning she couldn't have Isabelle back because she had work in an hour, giving Olivia her home and mobile number she quickly handed Elliot the dipper bag. "Im sorry for just leavening her with you but I need to get changed. Let me know if I can help in anyway with the investigation….if she gets restless she likes music" she said as she headed back towards her apartment.

Realizing that Isabelle was now asleep Olivia gently placed her back into the car seat and followed a smiling Elliot out of the apartment building.
