Scene Seven:

Olivia stands up when Kathy walks in the door. They awkwardly hug and sit down.

Kathy: Olivia! It's been forever.

Olivia: Yes, it has. How are you? The kids? El-?

Kathy: Elliot is horrified about the news. He wanted to be here. He wishes he could help, but he's overseas. He'll be back in two weeks.

Olivia: Overseas?

Kathy: Yeah, after he filled his papers, he took some time off. Honestly, Olivia, it was kinda scary, but he had some fun with the kids before heading back to work.

Olivia: What is he doing now?

Kathy: He is a representative for victims of abuse. He's in Africa right now trying to give a voice to victims to whom it would be too dangerous for them to speak up.

Olivia: Oh, good. I'm glad.

Kathy: And you? You know, there's this trainer at my gym. He's about Elliot's age, I could give you his number.

Olivia: Haha, not right now. Actually, I'm the foster mom of a little boy. The official adoption hearing is next month.

Kathy: That's great! I'm so happy to hear that, Olivia.

Olivia: Thank you.

Kathy: Well, Liv, it's been a few years since we've talked, so surely you didn't only meet me here to play catch up.

Olivia: Yes, well, I was wondering if you could tell me anything about the fathers in little Elliot's class.

Kathy: Nothing that I can think about, but I'll ask around for you.

Olivia: Thank you so much, Kathy. That would be very helpful.

Kathy: Of course, Olivia, anything else I can do. Please let me know.

Kathy checks her phone.

Kathy: Oh! I have to pick up Olivia from the sitter's.

Olivia: Olivia?

Kathy: Did El not tell you about her? Olivia Kathryn Stabler, she was born about two years after El Kathy hesitates left… SVU.

Olivia: No, we haven't talked, actually, since, um, he left.

Kathy: Oh. I'm so sorry, Olivia. He must've not wanted to open old wounds.

Olivia: Well, for some those wounds never healed.

Olivia and Kathy look quietly at each other for a silent minute.

Kathy: Well, I should probably get going.

Olivia: Yes, thank you for meeting with me.

Kathy: It was my pleasure, Olivia.

Kathy leaves. Olivia sips her coffee, looks at her phone, and smiles.

Olivia: Olivia Kathryn Stabler.

Scene Eight: The Precinct

Olivia walks in to the precinct. Fin and Nick are standing around a board with three pictures of middle-aged men. Amanda is on the phone.

Olivia: What do we have here?

Fin: Thomas Carter, Hunter Anderson, and Peter Logan all have records.

Olivia: Alright, so where are we with them?

Nick: Well. Thomas and Peter have both been out of town for the past two weeks.

Olivia: Well then, what do you have on Hunter?

Fin: Hunter was at the party—

Amanda gets off the phone.

Amanda: But, Hunter was too busy playing the clown and making balloon animals for kids.

Olivia: Great, back to square one.

Fin: What about the men who don't have any priors?

Nick: That could take forever to get alibies from all of them.

Olivia: There are thirty-seven men other than those three at the party. Fin, Nick, you go start checking with all of them. Amanda, go back and talk with Miranda and see if she remember anything else.

Nick, Fin, and Amanda leave. Olivia dials a number on the phone.

Olivia: Ms. Mitt, hi, it's Olivia Benson from SVU. I was wondering if any of the children had another male guardian besides a father. Ahaha, what were those names again? Okay, George Wrangler, and that's his grandfather, Andrew Wrangler? Okay. Amelia Crain"s uncle, John Crain? Thank you very much, Ms. Mitt.

Olivia hangs up the desk phone and grabs her cell phone. Olivia looks up Andrew Wrangler, and a missing person's file comes up. She makes a call.

Olivia: Fin. I'm going to send you a name and an address I need you to check out. We were looking in the wrong place. Ask him about his missing son.

Scene Nine: Andrew Wrangler residence.

Fin and Nick walk up to a house. An older man answers the door. He looks to be about fifty years old and appears to be in good shape.

Fin: Mr. Wrangler?

The man nods.

Fin: Detectives Tutuola and Amaro from Special Victims Unit. We'd like to ask you a few questions about a birthday party your grandson went to last week.

Andrew: Uh, sure, please come in.

They go in the house and sit down on the couches. Nick points to a picture on the wall.

Nick: Is that your son?

Andrew: Yes. He went missing about three years ago during a hiking trip, It was him, George, and me.

Fin: Did they find him?

Andrew: No. George's mother died when he was a few weeks old and I was his only living relative, so he lives with me.

Nick: Mr. Wrangler, could you tell us where you were during Landon Mitt's birthday party?

Fin gets a phone call and leaves the room.

Andrew: I was doing some… umm… shopping, yeah.

Fin comes back.

Fin: Really?

Andrew: Um, yes.

Fin: Because a witness places you at the party the whole time.

Andrew looks worried.

Fin: And you and George had to leave about fifteen minutes before Miranda was found.
