On the way back to the station Alex informed the Captain of the grisly evidence they found.

"Pittsford? that's up by Rochester..what's the evidence?" Deakins asked

"We discovered a hidden refrigerator containing human eyes and they all match the dates of the other homicides...and they are all blue. He told the wife he was going to be at conference we checked..no conference no reservation for the doctor. Not even any flights, she said they have a summer home in Pittsford. We are banking that's where he is." Alex said

"Ok. I'll call Carver and the local authority..should be ready when you get back. How is he doing?" Deakins asked.

"Well when he saw the eyes...I almost lost him." was all Alex would say.

The remainder of the trip back to the Police Plaza was very quiet. Alex was still worried about Bobby, there was no doubt that what they had found at Dr. Anglionby's home had left him shaken. Alex knew that Bobby was scared of what they would find when they reached the summer home in upstate NY... and truth be told she was too.

Alex wanted this sad story to have a happy ending, but she'd been in this line of work long enough to know that happy endings were very few and far in between in abduction cases. Alex feared that they might be too late, that is not what anyone wanted to see happen, but still she knew the chances of it were very high.

Alex did everything she could to push those thoughts to the back of her mind for she knew that if she let her fears show, Bobby would pick up on them and that's not what he needed right now.

Bobby was being extremely strong, he had surprised everyone. When Victoria had first been abducted, everyone thought that Bobby would lose control, they did not think he could keep it together for nearly as long as he did.

Alex knew that if she had been in Bobby's shoes, she would have lost control by now. There was no way in hell that she could have possibly stayed so strong. In Alex's eyes, it showed how much Bobby really loved Victoria for despite the obvious stress that he was in, he was holding all together and he was doing it for Victoria... he was doing it because he wanted to do everything possibly to find her.


Major Case One Police Plaza Thursday, October 19 4:30pm

"We got it. " Deakins said as Bobby and Alex quickly walked torwards him.

" Alright, we'll leave now then, " Bobby said.

"And I am going with you...I want to see you mop the floor with this nut." Deakins said with a sly smile.

"I too will accompany you..I need to serve the papers to the local D.A. who will be on the scene." Carver said.

Bobby smiled for the first time since this all began, everyone in the squad room rallied around offering their goodluck and services. Since it all began everyone had been helping in what little way they could.

" Thanks captain, " Alex said.


Pittsford, New York Thursday, October 19 11:00 pm

Doctor Anglionby was standing in the kitchen when he heard a loud bang, it sounded as though something had just come through the wall. The doctor turned to see what was going on, but before he had a chance the task force burst through the kitchen door.

" Freeze! Put your hands up in the air! " one of the task force members yelled.

" Up against the wall! " another shouted.

The doctor darted to another room and to a small flight of stairs but did not make it. The next thing he knew, someone grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Now Dr. Anglionby was standing face to face with a very mad Detective Goren and the loaded barrel of his gun. He threw him against the wall.

" Please, please don't take them away from me! Don't take them, they're mine now! " the insane doctor begged.

" Shut up you sick son of a bitch! " Bobby yelled. " I sware I" ll blow your fucking brains out!"

" Bobby! " Alex's frantic voice caught Bobby's attention. " Bobby, put the gun down, "

" Why the hell should I after what he did ... " Bobby started but Deakins cut him off.

"Goren put it down...he's not worth it! " Deakins said.

"Detective.. this is not going to help Victoria." Carver said.

This time Bobby looked at Alex, taking a moment to let what they just said sink in.

" What about Victoria... if you don't care about yourself then think of her. She loves you Bobby, and you love her... she needs you. How do you think she'd feel if you get sent to prison huh? " Alex pleaded.

Bobby lowered his gun and slowly backed away from him, trying to regain and keep his composure. They were right as much as the doctor did not deserve to live, it wouldn't help her in the aftermath. They were going to need each other. Then all of a sudden the tension and rage that had been surpressed over the last couple of days erupted. Bobby turned around and puched him square in the stomach and jaw, sending him down to the floor like a rag doll. Bobby tried to go after him again but was held back by some of the task force.

"Detectives ... up here! " one of the task force members shouted from upstairs.


Upstairs Bobby and Alex entered the room that the task force members were in. There was a computer monitor with a live feed to a video camera, showing Victoria laying bound to the bed, but right away he knew that something was wrong... Victoria was lifeless she appeared dead.

" Oh God, " Bobby whispered, then darted off down stairs. " She's in the basement! " he shouted.

Alex and the Captain followed close behind Bobby, he ran down to the basement to find nothing there.

"Where is she...this is the basement?" Alex said.

"She has to be here." Deakins said.

As they searched around the room looking for any hidden doors, Bobby started to yell her name "Victoria.."

She heard someone yelling outside, but she was too overcome with fatigue and pain to answer.

Then with a sudden realization she heard a voice that was familar, a voice she heard everday. She started to tear down her cheeks, she was getting colder as the hypothermia was getting worse. Even though she was still, she had a sensation of floating, Slowly she was passing out. Victoria , however, had devoted herself not to die like this. She tried to put away the feeling, put her head back and tried to shout as loud as she could.

"Bobby!" she shouted with every last ounce of energy left within her.

As they were searching Deakins caught her voice "Wait...I think I hear something...sounds like it's underneath."

"Victoria...it's Bobby keep talking to us." Bobby shouted.

She heard him as she tried in vain to keep shouting out, but her voice was now barely a whisper. Battered from the multiple times of strangulation and the extreme cold, she could barely give out even a moan.

"I think I found the door." Bobby said as he noticed a piece of the edge of the carpet looked worn.

He pulled it all the way back to reveal a door in the floor, prying it open there was a small flight of stairs leading down to a dark room.

Once Bobby got into the room, he saw Victoria laying on the bed. Bobby noticed right away her skin had a waxy pallor look and the color turned to a blue-gray "Oh god.. she's hypothermic." Her pulse was very weak, but her breathing was shallow... very shallow. Bobby quickly un - tied her and gently cradled in his arms carried her out of the bed and out of the little room onto the basement floor, he winced at how cold her skin was. She felt like a sheet of ice.

As Alex radioed for the EMT's, Bobby and the Captian examined her body the severe bruising on her stomach and the deep ligature marks around her neck. Also her lips were cracked from dehydration and probably malnutrition.They wrapped her in Deakins coat to get her warm.

"My god...what hell she went through." Deakins said in shock

"Victoria? Victoria, please, open your eyes, sweetpea." Bobby said gently, in a smooth voice

Victoria's eyes gently opened. Her breathing was still very shallow.

"Bobby?" she said, in a barely audible but cracked voice. She couldn't seem to see him and she couldn't move, Bobby smiled.

"Yes, Victoria." He replied, unable to describe the immense relief and joy he was feeling. But he knew he wasn't out of the woods yet.

She couldn't feel her arms or her legs. But being cradled in his arms was keeping her out of the black. But now she felt so weak. Her throat was dry and eyes began to sting and her stomach felt like a two by four was stuck in there. All she wanted to do was fall asleep, right here, right now. A funny floating sensation began.

Victoria kept her eyes open, letting them cry. Bobby was saying something loudly, but he only sounded muffled. What's happening to me? She knew that she knew, but why couldn't she understand. The floating sensation was growing stronger now. Victoria could feel the black abyss steadily at the back of her eyes, as though dragging her back. Her mind was determined to stop herself from going back but her body wasn't . It was giving up slowly. The EMT's arrivedas they were preparing the IV fluids and blankets, she tried to speak to Bobby.

"Bobby?" Victoria said barely audible from a whispher.

"It's ok sweetpea..everything will be alright your safe now." Bobby said as he gently stroked her face.

She looked at him and mouthed "Listen." He put his head near to her face so he could hear what she was now saying.

"You were wrong...You are Prince Charming." she said with a faint smile.

Bobby was loosing her in his arms, her eyes were closed again. He tried talking to her, but he knew that she couldn't hear him anymore. The thing that was nagging at the back of his mind was that he had seen this so many times before. And so many times before had he seen them die, just like this. Then all of a sudden she went limp.

"Victoria stay with me, please!" Bobby shouted.

"She gone into Vtach get the AED on her!" one the EMT's said.

As the EMT's worked on Victoria, Bobby just stood there watching helplessly. They shocked her three times before they got a rhythm, started warm IV fluids and wrapped her in the heated foil blankets and sent her out.

"She's going to Rochester General...about 15 mins from here." said one of the EMT's.

"You go ahead guys I'll wrap this up...then Caver and I will be over." Deakins said

"I'll be right behind you." Alex said.

"Ok..but I want to interrogate this son of a bitch." Bobby said.

"Don't worry Goren...I 'll let you unleash your hell on him." Deakins said.


When the EMT's made their way out of the house, the doctor who had come too from Bobby's right hook saw her he started to rant and scream.

"No don't take her away..don't you see how beautiful they are!" he shouted

Bobby went up to him looked at him with cold dead eyes and clocked him again this time sending some teeth out and giving him a good bloody nose.

" This is police brutality and I'm going to sue the NYPD for this! " Dr. Anglionby screamed.

Carver and Deakins looked at each other for a moment.

" What police brutality? " Deakins asked smartly.

" He hit me... you saw him! " the doctor yelled.

Deakins shook his head. " I didn't see anything did you? "

" No, I don't have a clue what he's talking about." Carver replied

" You haven't seen hell yet...but you will..very soon. Get the sick son of a bitch out of here." Deakins said.
