Chapter 4: The Pieces Coming Together

They went back to their headquarters and they went over the changes in the investigation. Captain Cragen was present and writing down all of the important facts.

"Sylvia's body was found where?" asked Cragen

"In a dumpster behind the Chinese restaurant Ying Yang. Down the street from-" Said Olivia.

"Mr. Watson's job." Finished Elliot. They looked at each other and bowed their heads simultaneously. Captain Cragen looked at them bewildered and continued to ask questions.

"Did you find out how Mr. Watson died?"

"A single gunshot to the head." Said Finn. "The shot was made from a close range. Soot was found inside of the wound."

"Was there any on his hands?" asked Cragen

"No, it was a homicide." Replied Finn

"Where's the brother-in-law?" asked Captain Cragen.

Everyone just looked at each other. "We don't know." Said Olivia.

"Can you go and find out?" asked Cragen, not really asking. Everyone got up and began to leave the room. However, they only made it a few steps before Cameron came into the office.

"Can I speak to Olivia?" he asked.

"Right here." Said Olivia making her way to him.

"I'd like to report a homicide." He said.

"Okay, let's go somewhere private." She said. As she went past Elliot, they brushed against each other. They paused and looked at each other for a split second. They went on.

When they got to the deliberation room, Cameron blurted out "Charles is dead."

"Yes. I know. Detective Stabler found him this morning." She said sitting down. Cameron sat down in front of her.

"I saw you in our house."

"Our house?"

"Yes. It's mine technically. Sylvia paid for the house. She was with me. I was really he husband. Not Charles."

"Okay?"

"Yes. I had to do it."

"Do what, Cameron?"

"I had to kill them."

Olivia vigorously blinked her eyes. "Who did you have to kill?"

"Sylvia and Charles. Sylvia wanted to stop having sex with me. She was going to tell Charles. I couldn't let that happen."

Olivia took a deep breath. "What about Charles?" asked Olivia.

"I killed him too." He said looking at the wall. Remembering just how weak he was. "I shot him in the same alley that I killed Sylvia in."

"Why in that alley?" asked Olivia.

"That's where I felt the most powerful."
"Why?"

"I have my reasons."

"Such as?" asked Olivia.

Cameron fell silent. He looked at the floor. Olivia persisted. "What reasons."

He said nothing. He twirled his fingers. "I don't want to talk anymore." He said.

"Cameron, please. Tell me. Why did you go to that alley?"

His eyes were tearing up. "Someone had power over me then, I have the power now."

"How?"

Again, he fell silent. Olivia went over to Cameron and knelt by his chair. "Cameron, I need you to tell me; why did you go to that alley?"

"That's where he raped her."

"Who?"

"I don't know who the hell he is!" he shouted standing up. "He raped my mother! That bastard raped my mother!"

Olivia just stared at him. She didn't know what to say. She's never dealt with a perp with the same situation as her. Although she had so many questions she wanted to ask him "She was raped?" was all that would come out.

"How do you think I got here?"

Now it was her turn for the tears to fall. Cameron turned to her and saw her crying. "Why the hell are you crying? It wasn't your mother that was raped!"

"Actually…" she began.

Cameron went over to her. "So you understand?"

"Nothing that has happened to me in the past can change my views about murder."

Cameron bowed his head. "I understand." He held his hands out in front of him and looked at Olivia. "Do your thing." He said.

She hesitated but ended up saying, "Cameron Watson you are under arrest for the kidnap and homicide of Sylvia Watson and the murder of Charles Watson. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you…." She said as she handcuffed him and took him outside of the deliberation room.
