Once the car had been sitting outside in a mostly abandoned neighborhood, Lilly glanced over at the photo of; Melvin Swat. He had lost his medical license in 1975, the same time that Leroy had as well. Also his record of abusing patients was a long rap sheet of it; but this guy clearly had changed aliases during the course of two decades.
The sound of Scotty's cell buzzed, breaking Lilly's concentration as she listened to him argue with his new lady fling. To her, she knew that it probably was Frankie; the married woman from the ID Unit. Someone that appeared to merely younger than whom she was, but that wasn't the point. After he had gotten off, Lilly shook her head, "Trouble in Paradise"?
He shook his head, "Nah, Frankie's just begging me come back. She saying now that she's pregnant with my kid", which immediately had Lilly grinning. Somehow he ignored his partner's grins, knowing that he wasn't about to get into his own personal relationship problems with his sister once again.
"So this knucklehead Married or what", he asked. Lilly flipped through the papers, "Was, but get this his wife left him in 1974. They had no kids probably a good thing, but a year later her body turns up dead in the East River in New York City".
Scotty shook his head, "You find out the cause of death", as he watched her finger tracing downward, "Cause of Death was undetermined".
For awhile the two continued to sit in silence, while watching some people walking past. Though people still resided in this neighborhood, most didn't. For one, it was merely filled with the usual stuff that wasn't new news to them. Lilly wasn't one to give up, she wanted to find this Melvin and snuff the life out of him, for what he had done to her own mother.
Still a question racked Scotty's mind, but didn't dare ask Lilly that. He knew she had been through enough and finding justice for her own mother was more than enough. As the hours went on by, there still wasn't any sign of Melvin, until 4am. That's when things had gotten a bit more interesting, as two shots were heard.
Right away, the two headed up into the building. On the fifth floor, apartment 505; Scotty instantly kicked open the door. Much to their surprise there wasn't anyone there; except a whole bunch of medical instruments; and books.
Clearly, Melvin wasn't into cleaning that much; as dust lay thick likes blankets. Take out boxes were scattered all over the counters, mixing with blood droplets. Inside of one of the rooms, it told a tale of a psychopathic doctor who would murder for a reason.
Just then Lilly saw her partner being knocked out cold on the floor, before she felt someone covering her mouth. While holding her breath, she fought before everything went dark. When Scotty had awoken he had found himself tied up in the basement of the building. His anger boiled but still couldn't undo the restrains over him his hands, feet or mouth.
It had seemed to look bad for Lilly as she awoke, before coughing loudly, " YOU NEVER LISTEN", he yelled, " I'm going to make sure that you'll never had any kids". She barely had anytime to fight before Melvin rolled up her shirt, exposing her navel. With a long needle, Lilly screamed loudly as she proceeded to kick him harder.
Upon getting up, she ran out as Melvin continued chasing her. However he then pushed her downward, before running back outside. Luckily, Lilly had a good mind to search the basement to find Scotty tied up. Once freeing him, the two raced back outside to discover that not only their car had been stolen; they were also chasing a serial killer as well.
With quick thinking, Lilly called for backup as the two exchanged looks, "What happened", she asked? Scotty shook his head, "Next thing I knew I was being held up in a dark basement, rats down there I think", he said.
"Melvin tried to inject me with something, he said something about me not to have any kids", which had gotten her to think, "What if this has nothing to do with this, but what's in his own mind"?
Scotty chuckled in amusement, "He's crazy Lil, we just need to get him before it's too late", but had no idea what his partner was thinking. Upon getting a search warrant, Lilly then followed them back into the building. Once there she searched before finding a book, with detailed descriptions of the murders, except for her mother's.
Only that of her name had been printed there, which made Lilly just about ready to kill Melvin himself. Just as the two were leaving, she then spotted Melvin running down before he had been captured; criminals were sometimes stupid. After all of this, everyone continued to search for more evidence, as Lilly opened up another box, she caught the reflection of her mother in the mirror.
Her lips appeared to be moving, but Lilly couldn't make out what she was saying. Then suddenly she disappeared, as Jefferies then touched her shoulder, "Place is a pigsty, jail would be like a shock to him".
Holding up several journals, Lilly then looked up," Guess what I'll be reading through tonight, got a long night".
In fact that night, she spent it in the office reading over each detail of the crime. Some were so gruesome that it churned her stomach, several times. Even as Stillman came on over, notice how engrossed that she was in it, "Find anything"?
"Doesn't make sense boss, Melvin killing people. He doesn't mention any details of my mother; he already had stated that she was his victim".
Stillman glanced down at it, "Tomorrow, you and Kat will have a crack at him. Get some rest; you're going to need it".
However sleep did sound like a good idea, Lilly needed it. As soon as she had gotten home and changed, her head immediately hit the pillows. While she slept, her dreams began to fill up with nightmares of almost being attacked by Melvin among other things.
Needless to say by morning, Lilly had already had three cups of coffee in her system. She wasn't nearly ready to stomach Melvin but knew that the victims were waiting, and so was her mother.
