ME Office:
"Melinda, what else do we got." asked El.
"I gotta say, you perp is smart. He left no fluids and no hairs. Our vics nails were cut so whatever trace she had underneath her nails, it's gone now. If you look at her hands she has defense wounds, fought like hell against her attacker. The cuts on her body were another story; the outer wounds were created with a small steak knife that was originally located on the table in the apartment. But the knife that was used to her throat was a completely different. The perp slashed your vic left to right which means your perp is right handed. The knife left in the heart was the same steak knife. The letter "O" was carved post mortem and it was about half an inch deep. "
"We got one smart perp on our hands." Liv said.
"When you guys catch the perp, give him an extra kick in the balls for me, this woman was put through hell."
Forensics: Ryan O'Halloran:
"Ryan do you have anything with the forensics for us?" she asked.
"Well, besides the mess your perp left us, no, not even a single hair. We dusted the wine glasses for fingerprints and we only came up with the vics. The blood and hair found on the doorframe did belong to your vic and not the killer. The message on the mirror was indeed Emmeline's blood but get this, we did find a print. Before we ran the prints through Afis, we checked to see if it matched the vics, it did. I doubt that you vic wanted to write a message in her own blood so maybe your perp forced her write the message. But however we're still waiting on those video tapes for your vics apartment complex so Morales can check them."
Elliot was about to say something when he caught his partner day dreaming or something because it didn't look like she was paying any attention.
"Liv, you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost?" asked El.
"I'm fine, I was just thinking about the case." she answered as she was coming out of a dazed state.
But in reality, she couldn't believe this sick bastard would make Emmeline write a message to her in her own blood. What sick freak would do that to a woman?
"But the techs did grab your vics address book because it was on the floor. Under today's date, she had plans for a romantic date with a Kurt Moss at her apartment, seven o'clock."
"Kurt Moss, the editor for the Ledger?" asked Liv.
"Liv, this doesn't mean it was 'your' Kurt." said El.
After El's remark, Liv threw her partner "the look" for referring Kurt to her like he was her property; which he wasn't because she broke it off months ago.
"Why do you know him?" asked the tec.
"Something like that. Well, thanks Ry, we'll keep in touch" said Liv quickly as she exited the room.
"Thanks Ryan, page us when Morales gets the tape." said El.
Special Victims Squad Room:
"Benson, Stabler, what have we got?" asked Cragen.
"Emmeline Rose, twenty one years old. She was found in her apartment slashed, stabbed and raped. Melinda and Ryan didn't find any trace of this guy on her or the whole apartment. But we did however find an address book with today's date circle for a romantic evening with a Kurt Moss." responded Elliot.
"Liv, isn't that that the old geezer that you use to date?" asked Munch.
"Looks who's talking Munch." replied Fin.
"Yeah, I'm going to pay him a little visit."
"I'll go with you."
"No Elliot, I gotta do this alone and don't follow me." she replied as she was walking away to go to see Kurt Moss.
"Continue Elliot." said the Captain.
"There was also a message left at the scene.."
"That it?"
"No.. Captain it was addressed to Olivia" he responded quietly.
"What do you mean it was addressed to Olivia?" he asked.
"The perp… the perp is stalking Liv Cap, he's killing because he wants to get to her. Take a look for yourself." He says.
Elliot moved slowly to the board and put up all of the pictures from the crime scene. When he comes to the message that was written in blood to his partner, he couldn't help but stare at it. After a few moments, Elliot posted up the message that was left for the whole squad to see. Fin didn't say a word and kept his eyed glue to the photograph and Munch was hiding his reaction behind those glasses of his. Captain Don Cragen was the one who broke the silence.
"Do we have anything else Elliot?" he asks.
"Not right now Cap, we're waiting on Morales to get the tape from the vic's apartment."
Office of Kurt Moss
New York Ledger
137 West 58th Street
"Hello, my name is Olivia Benson, is Kurt Moss in his office?"
"Yes Miss Benson , I'll page him for you" replied the secretary.
"Uh there's no need, I'll surprise him."
"I don't think that's….." the secretary started but it was too late. Olivia was already walking to Kurt's office.
Flashback:
"Tell IAB Olivia wasn't the source of the leak." said Elliot threatenly.
"What are you doing here?" she asks El as she was walking into Kurt's office.
Both men turned to the entrance of the door and sees Liv just standing there puzzled and confused.
"I'm trying to convince your boyfriend to give you a hand." El said calmly to his partner.
"I don't need help from either of you." she said truthfully.
"I think you do, I can sign an affidative saying you are not the source." said Kurt kindly.
"It's not going to work , it's not enough, they want a warm body." she said.
"And he can give them one .Look, I'm sure you know about the skeletons in the NYPD's closet. All you gotta do is remind IAB and they should stay on your good side." said the awkward partner.
"I'll talk to him." Kurt responds, anything to get rid of Elliot right now.
"Nice meeting you." El said while exiting the office
"Why didn't you tell me you were in trouble?" Kurt asked Liv as she was walking towards him.
"I can handle it"
"That's the problem, you're so used to taking care of yourself that you can't let anybody else in."
"Kurt, this isn't about us"
"If you say so"
"If I say so, what's that's suppose to mean?"
"Why is it you won't move in with me?"
"I gotta go"
"And I'll, I'll call him in IAB"
"Hey…"
"Thank you" said Liv quietly.
Before leaving the office for the last time, Olivia smiled at Kurt and gives him a little peck on his lips.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Olivia, what brings you down here?" asked the confused ex.
"Emmeline Rose."
"What about her?"
"She was murdered and killed last night and you we the last person to see her."
"I never got a chance to see her last night"
"Can anyone verify your whereabouts?"
"Liv.."
"Olivia" Liv said since they're not seeing each other anymore.
"Olivia, whatever happened between us?"
"Kurt this issue isn't about us, let me repeat again, who can verify your whereabouts last night since you didn't go to Emmeline's."
"My co workers and I were working on a piece til the morning because we had a deadline. I called Emmeline about six and told her I was running a little late and told her I'll see her later. I never made it last night and I forgot to call Emmeline. Now, do you want my phone records? The names of my co workers who stayed behind?"
"Yes if you don't mind."
"Li… Olivia, seriously are you really going to bother me with all of this? I have a deadline in an hour."
"Yes… if you don't provide me with this information, I'll charge you with obstruction."
"Here's the names of my co workers, and you can check my phone records yourself."
"Thanks…" she said as she was about to leave.
"Olivia, wait… I'm sorry for giving you an attitude. Do you.. do you want to get drinks tonight, I'm off. I'll be my treat."
"Thanks for the offer but no, I have a murderer to catch."
POV ?
Olivia, Olivia, Olivia. How did I know you were going to come here? To Kurt's Office.. I can grab you now since your partner Elliot Stabler isn't here but it's too early in the game. I'm not done playing yet. I think I gave you enough time.. I just have to find a new victim to kill to get your attention. But when faith will finally brings us together, you're going to beg me to kill you because you have no idea what I have in store for you. I'm just getting started and I can't wait to see me finally break you. And overall, I can't wait to reveal myself to you….
Captain Cragen's Office:
Knock knock
"Cap, can I talk to you for a sec?"
"Sure Elliot, what's up?"
"I'm worried about Liv's involvement in this case. She's been under a lot of pressure to nail this guy and she's not focused on her surroundings…"
"Elliot, I know where you're going with this and I'm not pulling Olivia off this case until I think she needs to be pulled." Cragen said irritated.
"Cap.."
"I believe I gave you an answer detective now I advise you to go back to your desk and wait for your partner to return. I already sent Munch and Fin to forensics, Morales got the tape"
Elliot exited without saying another work.
Forensics: Morales:
"Uhh… Munch I can't believe you got your smoothie on my brand new leather jacket and pants." said Fin in a pissed tone while trying to remove most of it with a napkin.
"Well if you learn how to drive"
"I kept it on the road." Fin said in his defense.
"Barely!"
Fin and Munch reached the old looking solid door and Fin grabbed the solid metal handle. Cold air hit their faces and they saw Morales in the corner sitting at a computer.
"I just got the tape a few minutes ago.. Had an accident?" Morales said while indicating to Fin's pants.
"Yeah he did, he had an accident with a smoothie, I told him not to drink and drive. Anyway, what have you got for us?" asked Munch.
"Well as you can see, there are your average couples, tenants, and children in the elevator. Now, I skipped a head to seven o clock and look what I got."
"A man with a vase of red roses, just like the ones we found in Emmeline's apartment." said Munch.
"How do you know they're for her?" asked Fin.
"I'm not finished yet; your perp is using the vase to cover his face and gloves. Now, before we lost site of the guy, he knocks on the door and Emmeline answers the door, she just smiles and lets him right in." said Morales.
"That explains why there was no forced entry." said Fin.
"Thanks, we're going to need a copy of that." said Munch.
"Already done and here's the tape."
Special Victims Unit Squad Room:
All four detectives made it back to the squad room safe and sound. They were all waiting for their Captain to come out onto the floor to give him an update but he hasn't shown up yet. A few moments later, Don graced his presence at the floor a few minutes later.
"What are we with the Emmeline Rose case." he asks.
"Well Morales finally got the tape from her apartment complex but the perp uses the roses to cover his face the whole time and he was wearing gloves." John said.
"And if you look at the tape, it looks like she was comfortable letting this guy in" Fin added.
A few moments later after watching the tape…
"Looks like there was no struggle, where are we on Kurt?" Captain Cragen said.
"Well, I was considering him until seeing that tape. According to his employees, he didn't leave til the early hours in the morning so he definitely was in the office during Emmeline's murder. But Kurt said he forgot to call her so maybe she thought it was Kurt who had the flowers and brought them to apologize for being late.. Question is who's that on camera?" asked Liv.
The squad room became dead silent since their prime suspect cleared. The silence was broken when the captain's phone started to ring in his office and that was the cap's cue of leaving his detectives to have a discussion, alone, about the case.
"Liv, can you think of anyone who's out to get you? Piss anyone off lately?" asked Munch.
"Well, let me see Munch, I'm a cop, so that means any person I've collared could be our perp." said Liv.
"Well, I'll check the database for recent releases of you collars Olivia." said Munch.
"That's gonna have to wait John. I just got a call, we got another vic in Central Park. Grab your coats, we're all going." Don said while slipping on his coat.
"Looks like we have a serial on our hands." said El.
"Cap, why does everyone have to go?" asked Liv.
"Because, our perp killed one of our own." he said simply.
"Cap, who is it?" asked Liv.
"It's….."
