Chapter 3
As the man ran to wards me with the knife in his hand raised, my instincts kicked in and I dodged expertly. But, little did I realize that was what my assailant wanted. Someone behind me slammed a heavy pipe over my head and I saw stars and then there was only black.

The first is Kathleen Stabler's as she and her partner try to unravel this mess.
Sea docks Warehouse Dumpsters April th 8:PM
(Miles has been missing 30 minutes)
"All trash is back there, help yourself" the owner of one the ten warehouses alongside the dock told us. "Thanks," my partner Antonio Montoya Cabot-Carmichael said dryly. "So what are we looking for?" I asked my partner as he gave me a boost up to the dumpsters. "Uh Sarge said bodies, bones and any kind of murder weapon" he replied. "And if we find any of that we call your sister right?" I said with a smirk. "Yup," he acknowledged with a laugh as he climbed up into the dumpster with me.
Antonio's adopted sister Jocelyn Cabot-Carmichael was The Homicide Unit's new Medical Examiner after Elizabeth Rodgers retired. We started to sort through the garbage, until Antonio jumped down and went over to one of the other dumpsters to look. "Hey Kathleen you might want to get Giz, over here." "Why?" I asked. "See for yourself," he replied stonily.
I walked over to where my partner was standing and when I saw what he was looking I felt like I was gonna lose my dinner. There was a body lying in the dumpster with the whole front chest cut open. I picked up my radio. "This is Detective Stabler with the Homicide Unit requesting the ME out over behind the dumpsters." "Negative, Detective Stabler we have an officer MIA we need backup at the main warehouse" the dispatcher replied angrily.
"Who's the officer?" Tony asked sharply. "The officer that's MIA is Officer Miles Benson-Novak. "Oh no" I yelped in fear. "We'll be right there" Tony replied.

Miguel's Ranch April th 8:PM
Casey's POV
I'm worried, I'll admit that. Olivia and I, we've be married almost 30 years so I guess I should be used to her being on call at all hours of the day. I am, but ever since my son became a police officer they never asked for him, Olivia and my son-in-law Dickie at the same time. I guess me and my daughter Kahlen will find out in the morning because SVU was working with Major Case on this one. But I noticed that Miguel was looking at me to take Emma out of the room because Hanna seemed particularly worried about her husband.
My kids have the same subtle almost unspoken language that me and Olivia share between each other.
I nodded discreetly to Miguel, knowing that he and Kahlen wanted to talk to their sister alone. I turned to Emma who seemed a little confused about what was going on. "Hey Emma I have an idea why don't we go talk to Uncle Josh on the web cam." "OK Gramma!" she said excitedly. We walked into my son's office and I turned on the computer and checked to see if Josh was on AIM.
LAWyerCasey890: Hey kid are you there?
ROCKerjosh789: Mom! wat's up? I haven't heard from u in awhile.
LAWyerCasey890: turn on ur web cam emma wants 2 say hi 2 u.
ROCKerjosh789: k hold on
I turned on our webcam and waited for my son to do the same. Josh was a good-looking guy at age 25 with olive skin and brown hair and eyes like Olivia, and his twin sister Hanna. He smiled at me and Emma when he saw us on screen. "Hey Emm'ika" he exclaimed using the nickname from the made up language only he and Hanna could speak. "UNCLE JOSH!!" Emma exclaimed happily waving to him. He waved back "so what's happening in good 'ole NYC with me not there rocking it up?" "Well your mom, brother and brother-in-law are on a call" I said nonchalantly.
Suddenly I heard a noise it sounded like Kahlen yelling. "Oh NO!" I heard her yell. "Josh I have to go." "Mom! Mom wait what's wrong?!?" I turned the computer off before he could say anything else.

Seaside Warehouses
April th 8:PM Wolf's POV
Go get Alex and Olivia! was my master's last command. Great, easier said than done. Scents in this building were, confusing to say the least. In any other building I would follow where the scent of fresh air was strongest, but here it was coming at me from all directions. Easy Wolf you're one of New York's Finest you'll get out of this, I thought to myself. Suddenly I heard footsteps from behind me and I spun around hackles raised. A man stood there gun raised. "Game over puppy dog" he said with an insane smile. And I saw the bullet before it hit me but I was paralyzed with fear.
I'm sorry my Master for I have failed you. I am nothing. And then there was nothing but white.
