Special Victims Squad room

Monday, March 23rd

7:15 AM

The squad room looked no different today then it did on Saturday. Olivia smiled to herself as she put her Nike shox jogging sneakers in her locker, and put on her badge and gun. She slammed her locker and turned to her desk. Elliot wasn't there yet, and neither was the Captain. Munch was talking to a rookie cop about a body watch, and Fin was on his way.

Liv turned and sat down to finish last Friday's paper work. The room was still kind of dark, so she turned on her lamp to see well. She was glad to finish the small stack of papers before she was technically on call, because that meant they could add three more "closed cases" to the stack.

A few minutes later, a steaming, forest green mug was shoved in her line of vision. " Coffee?" Elliot smiled down to her, and relinquished the cup into her hands.

" Thanks, I forgot to start the pot. Sorry." Liv took a cautious sip, and added another file to her outbox. "I'm almost done here, then I'll go check in with the Cap."

Elliot leaned back in his seat and shrugged his shoulders. " No hurry, the Captain is on the phone, I walked up with him, he said check in in about five to ten."

Liv shoved the last of her files in her outbox and raised an eyebrow at her partner, " We got a case?"

Elliot smiled, " Yeah, same old, same old." He bent down to his back, and pulled out a white paper bag. " Bagel?"

Liv smiled and reached over. " Thanks. Do we have anything on the case yet?"

"Nada," Elliot said, shaking his head.

Before Olivia could respond, the captain's door swung open, and he emerged, fully disturbed. " Liv, Elliot, we got a situation down on 64th and Broadway. A man is holding a woman and young girl hostage."

Liv stood up, a look of concern and confusion on her face. " That is sad, Cap. But what's it have to do with us?"

The captain's usual grim expression miraculously grew even grimmer as he looked from Elliot to Olivia. " The man's name is Jonathan Dornier AKA Jonah Downier."

Liv looked shocked, and answered him surprised. " The baby rapist?"

"Yes, and he has a three year old girl and a woman that is thought to be her mother locked in an abandoned factory."

Liv immediately turned to grab her coat, badge and gun. She barely waited for her partner before running out of the squad room and out to the parking garage.

Abandoned Garlic Factory

SW 64th and Broadway

Liv threw open the door of the unmarked sedan and practically ran to the scene. Cop cars and "unis" surrounded the entrance to the dilapidated building. She could see the guns drawn to every window, door and crack in the whole side of the building. She stopped near the center of the half circle, and took a deep breath. A higher rank uni walked toward her. " You Special Victims?" The tall and sandy-haired officer asked her briskly with a heavy Brooklyn accent.

Liv nodded, and watched the cold air blow out of her mouth as she began to speak, "Who is the mother and girl?" Olivia turned around to see Elliot standing right behind her.

The uni shook his head, " All we got is the lady and girl's first names, and that's cause our perp was screaming and hollering at them. The name's Deb and Dani. Don't know who is who, but we do know now that the woman is the girl's mother."

Olivia's eyes grew wide as the pieces started shifting into place. " Deb Dorner…Dornier. Damn, I should have figured it out."

Elliot shifted in place uncomfortably, " What are you talking about, Liv?" He looked from Olivia to the uni, and back.

Liv shook her head, turning to face Elliot, " Deb, she gave you an alias. Her real name is Deb Dornier. She just took out the "i" so when I met with her, I wouldn't figure it out that she was married to a baby raper. Especially since it is my job to go after the guy." Liv cursed under her breath and pulled out her cell to dial the Captain's number.

" Cap? Yeah, I have the ID's for our hostage vics. Uh huh. Debra and Dani Dornier. Yes, his wife and daughter. Yeah, got it. Bye." Olivia hung up and placed the cell back in its holder.

Olivia turned once more to Elliot. Before she could speak though, he shook his head. " Oh, no! You're not going in there alone. I don't care if Deb is your long lost sister, I am coming with you."

Olivia rolled her eyes at her partner's sudden over-protectiveness. " El, I got it. I've done this before. I'm no rookie." She moved to step into the taped off section of the lot, but Elliot caught her arm in haste.

" Yeah, look how it got you almost killed the last time." His eyes pleaded with hers. Liv raised an eyebrow.

" You mean, when I was on the case with Andy?" Liv laughed and shook her head. " I wasn't almost killed, I was negotiating. It was going good too, until Andy ordered on of the snipers to fire." The last sentence was said with disgust. Even if it was rapists, Liv didn't like shootings.

" I don't care, Olivia. I am coming with you. I am your partner, I have an obligation to protect you." It was the first time in a while that Elliot had used her full name, and he had said it so softly. Olivia lowered her challenging gaze and nodded, ever so slightly.

" Alright. But let me do the talking."

Elliot just nodded in agreement, following her footsteps into the musty building.
