Manhattan SVU
6.51 pm
Olivia stood with Munch, Jessie and Cragen staring at the crime scene board where the pictures of their missing perps stood.
"I can't get over the fact that all of these were in Sing Sing together, I mean, I know there would be some of our perps who ended up in the same prison but these? I don't know how they'd all end up around each other." Olivia explained mainly she was talking out loud to herself.
"There's no proof that any of these people were ever in Sing Sing except for court records." Cragen replied the jackets they had kept on each of the convicts in his hands.
"Where do we even begin looking for them?" Olivia asked.
"I think they'd go somewhere safe, somewhere they would have been before, somewhere they'd think we wouldn't even check." Jessie replied taking the top most file from Cragen's hand.
"Humphrey Becker ... hmm ... his Mother's house?" Jessie suggested.
"No, he hated that woman, blamed her for everything." Olivia replied.
"We should let her know her son is out and missing and offer her protective detail too or protective custody." Cragen explained.
"Jessie and I will go, you ok with that Munch?" Olivia asked turning to the aging Sergeant.
"Yeah, second you came back I took a back seat from being a detective to focus on paperwork, you take Humphrey's mother and I'll keep digging." Munch replied.
"Olivia, take a radio with you and instead of coming back here we'll radio you the details of the next location to check." Cragen added.
"Sure thing Cap, come on Jess." Olivia replied and she and Jessie walked straight to her SUV to go and warn Mrs Becker about her son's escape.
Becker Home
7.33 pm
"Detective Benson?" Mrs Becker asked remembering the Detective.
"Hi Ida, could we come in?" Olivia asked as Jessie showed her own badge to show she was a detective too.
"Yes of course." She replied opening the door wider for the Detectives to enter.
They went into the living room and sat down.
"No Detective Stabler?" Mrs Becker asked nodding her head towards Jessie.
"No he and I got married so we had to stop being partners." Olivia explained.
"Oh, ok, so what can I do for you Detectives?" Mrs Becker asked moving the topic along.
"Humphrey ... has he contacted you at all in the past week?" Olivia asked gently.
"Yes, he called me every week, he called yesterday too was talking very funny about him coming to visit which is silly considering he's in prison."
"Ah you see Ida, he isn't in prison anymore." Olivia explained, the old woman's face went two shade's paler at Olivia's statement.
"How?" She asked nervously.
"We don't know, all we know is he broke out and we have to find him." Olivia explained.
"He... I don't ... He can't come here!" She gasped.
Olivia jumped from the couch and knelt down in front of Mrs Becker her hands comforting on her knees.
"Ida, we'll find him but we need to know what he told you yesterday." Olivia explained.
Ida carefully placed her hand on the back of Olivia's head and began to stroke it almost as if she was trying to comfort Olivia. She looked into Olivia's eyes as her own brimmed with fresh tears.
"He just said he was still angry with me and he would be paying me a visit, the last visit I'd ever have." She whispered her tears slipping quickly down her cheeks.
"Ok, Ida I want you to come with us, we're going to put you in protective custody until we find him is that ok?" Olivia asked.
"Yes." She nodded. "I don't want him to find me."
"He won't. Come on, we'll have you set up in a hotel somewhere and you'll be safe, Jess radio on ahead to the one six." Olivia explained. "You need to pack an overnight bag Ida and then if you need any more stuff someone can bring you to get it. You need to be quick." Olivia explained helping the older woman to her feet.
Ida rushed out the room past Jessie who had just radioed on to base.
"They're sending us two uniform to escort her to a hotel, we've been told to go on ahead to the one six, we've been called in on a murder." Jessie explained.
"A murder? Come on can't homicide take this, we've got enough of our own drama to deal with." Olivia sighed.
"Homicide did take it but after the MO was ran through the system they called up to Cragen and Cragen said we have to take the case." Jessie replied.
"What else did he say Jess?" Olivia asked knowing there was more to it.
"They found a riddle with the initials RDK the second." Jessie explained.
"No! Fuck! Why?" Olivia was furious.
"I don't know Olivia but we'll find him, he's committing murders again which is going to make it easier for us to find him, focus on the crime and catch the perp." Jessie explained laying a comforting hand on Olivia's shoulders.
"This crime should never have happened, someone's dead because we couldn't keep a man behind bars." Olivia sighed.
Ida Becker came back into the room with an overnight bag just as there was a knock on the front door. Olivia took her gun from her hip and Jessie followed suit.
"Wait here." Olivia told Ida as she crept along the wall towards the front door.
Jessie was on the other wall a few steps behind Olivia who went to check the peep hole.
"Cops." Olivia whispered. "Can I see your shield?" Olivia called knowing they could be fakes masquerading as police.
"Detective Benson, I'm Officer Charlton, this is Officer Fisher from the two seven." He explained showing his shield.
Olivia opened the door and let them in, showing them into the living room.
"Ida, these are the officers who are going to take you to the hotel. Don't worry you'll be guarded until we catch him ok?" Olivia explained seeing how worried the woman in front of her was.
She nodded weakly, for a woman Olivia knew for talking non-stop she was quiet now.
"Hello Mrs Becker, if you'd like to just come with us now." Fisher smiled offering his arm for her to take.
"Detective Benson, please find my boy before he hurt someone again." She whispered before letting the officer lead her out.
Olivia's breath had hitched in her throat at the statement made by Ida. She couldn't tell the woman that her son had already hurt someone it was too cruel.
Manhattan SVU
8.25 pm
"What have we got?" Olivia asked going into the bullpen to Cragen and Munch who were sat at the crime scene board.
"The woman was twenty eight years old, a dancer working up on Broadway ..."
"Not the one we saved?" Olivia asked making Munch and Cragen frown.
"He went after a Dancer known as Big Red, she had a son and she would have been the next target had we not caught up with him and so he went after the original RDK's last victim, locked her in a refrigerator giving her something like fifteen hours to live, we found her, has anyone checked on her?" Olivia became panicked and looked around.
"We have, she died last year of natural causes. Big Red however, she is dead, she was the person found." Munch replied handing her the crime scene photos.
"Shit!" Olivia snapped. "What about the clue?" Olivia asked.
"Ahhh well the clue has given us central park, we have bought in every off duty officer and every officer we could who are canvassing Central Park as we speak." Cragen explained.
"Ok so until then what do you want me and Jess to do?" Olivia asked.
"Check his home and the newspaper office." Cragen replied.
Olivia let out a hitched breath and realised she wouldn't be getting home to her children tonight.
"Ok come on Jess."
Humphrey Becker's apartment
8.59 pm
"He's been here." Olivia sighed walking into the apartment.
"Obviously didn't like what he found." Jessie replied looking at the mess around them.
"Call in CSU and we'll go on to the newspaper office." Olivia replied stepping out and telling the building manager to wait for CSU and let no one inside.
"What made a man so mad he'd trash his home?" Olivia asked walking further into the apartment.
Then she saw it. The clue they needed to why he'd trashed the place.
"Someone took down all his rejection letters." Olivia whispered.
"What?" Jessie asked not understanding.
"This room was plastered with rejection letters from publishers, someone pulled them down off the walls carefully not tear them down like everything else. That's what made him angry, he might have tore the place when looking for them." Olivia explained.
"Ok, come on Olivia let's go and see the newspaper offices." Jessie smiled taking Olivia's arm to lead her from the place.
The New York Ledger
9.47 pm
Olivia and Jessie went straight to the basement where Humphrey Becker had once worked. They switched on the lights and withdrew their weapons, there was a noise in the distance that had Jessie and Olivia on red alert as someone upstairs had told them there was no one down here.
"Humphrey Becker?" Olivia called nervously.
She heard his sinister laugh and he stepped from the shadows.
"Caught me quick Detective Benson. Well done." He sniggered.
Jessie felt a shiver down her spine, this man actually scared her.
"You're under arrest ..." Olivia broke off.
"Aren't you reading me my rights Detective?" He asked laughing evilly.
"You're supposed to be locked up Becker so you don't have any rights." Olivia explained as she snapped her cuffs onto him making them as tight as she possibly could."Radio the one six, tell them we're bringing him in."
Manhattan SVU
19.24 pm
Olivia dumped Becker in interrogation and went to see what her superior wanted her to do next.
"Interrogate him, find out if he can give you anything about how they escaped or anyone else who escaped." Cragen told her.
Jessie followed Olivia back to the interrogation room and once again allowed the older woman to take the lead because she knew the perp on a more personal level.
Once inside Olivia switched the light of the interrogation room off knowing that the dark had scared Becker last time.
"You don't really think I'm afraid of the dark?" He whispered, he sounded intimidated rather than scared.
"No I just have a migraine." Olivia lied knowing that he may not be as terrified as he had been before but he was clearly shaken up from the lack of light in the room.
"So tell me how did you and the rest of them get out of Sing Sing?" Olivia asked going straight in.
"Haha that would be telling Detective." He replied chuckling a little.
"Listen, we have Neil Donavon and Tony Donnelly and it won't be long before we find out how you escaped so tell me what you know." Olivia hissed.
"No."
"Jess get me Munch and Cragen to help put this prick in a closet ..."
"No! I'll tell you just turn on the light! Please!"
"Ok." Olivia replied and Jessie switched on the light momentarily blinding them all.
"Now tell me everything you know." Olivia hissed.
"Ok, I don't know exactly how we escaped, all I know is we were all told to be ready to leave by a CO named Mathew Parker."
"Shit." Olivia mumbled recognising the name instantly, she didn't want to remember everything and she knew Jessie would have some uncomfortable questions for her the further they would dig into Mathew Parker.
"Ahh so you know him Detective?" Becker smirked.
"He and I have some history." Olivia replied honestly.
"Ex boyfriend?" Becker asked.
"Something like that." Olivia lied not wanting to go into how she knew Parker with anyone let alone the man in front of her.
"So you don't know how you got out only that you did the CO. Who else escaped?" Olivia asked.
"I don't know, I didn't ask for any names and I didn't receive them, all I know is we were all slowly moved to the same block." He explained.
"How did so many cons who had been collared by myself or Detective Stabler end up in same block?" Olivia asked.
"I don't know." He replied.
"Fine, someone will be here shortly to transfer you to the Federal Lock up, until then, you can sit in the cage." Olivia explained and she and Jessie left so uniform could move him.
"Get me the file on Mathew Parker." Olivia told Jessie knowing there was a file with his name on it in the filing room.
"Mathew Parker?" Munch asked he never remembered cases.
"He was Fin's buddy over at Sealview." Olivia explained.
Munch just nodded, he didn't know what had happened to Olivia all those years ago but he knew it had affected her a lot and knew it was a very sensitive topic for her.
"I'll find out when he transferred to Sing Sing." Munch replied going to his desk while Cragen came over to her.
"So that's all you got?" Cragen asked.
"Better than nothing, we need to bring in Parker." She replied.
"Feds will want him." Cragen replied.
"Feds can have him... as soon as I am done with him." Olivia shrugged.
"Fine, I'll call Sing Sing have them bring him here in cuffs." Cragen explained.
"Sure." Olivia nodded.
"Until then you and Jessie go home and get some sleep, your kids are probably wondering where you are." Cragen told her firmly.
"No problem." Olivia replied going to find Jess and take them both home.
I know you've been waiting long for this but I am taking a break from FF to do some college work, I hope you can wait at least a week for the next update. Steffie xx
