"Why'd you leave?!" Olivia demanded as she walked into her apartment. Brian looked up from the tv and looked at her confused.
"Liv, it's two in the morning. Maci was tired, you were busy, and so I just took her home. No big deal."
"No big deal? I made an ass of myself looking for you at the hospital." She sighed and sat on the chair in her living room. She rubbed her temples. Brian got up and walked over to her.
"I know, you're stressed. It's okay, Liv." He wrapped his arms around her shoulders. She sighed and laid her head gratefully on his chest.
"I hate seeing her like that.." She frowned, "Amanda has always been the strong never give up type. "
"Do you want to talk about it?" Brian asked gently.
"No, I'm really tired." She yawned and got up. She walked into her bedroom and quickly changed into a tank top and shorts.
Brian took his shirt off and changed into sweatpants. They climbed into bed and he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"Olivia?"
"Hm?"
"I love you. With all my heart. I loved you years ago and I love you still. You're my whole world."
She smiled softly and closed her eyes. She fell asleep quickly to his rhythmic breathing .

" There is absolutely nothing on this Austin kid." Fin frowned at his computer.
"Clean record, no past family issues, squeaky clean." Munch added.
"How?" Cragen looked at the busy detectives, "How can one guy kidnap a famous singer's daughter and not have a record?"
"Maybe it's his first kidnapping," Nick brought up, "Maybe the whole I'm a psycho fan theory is right."
"But he did a number on Amanda. Maybe he's been beaten or had domestic dispute calls from his house while he was growing up. " Olivia typed things into her computer.
"Lexie wants to know where her daughter is." Munch read off his phone.
"Tell her that she's okay, we are locating her soon. " Cragen answered. Munch punched away at the cellphone.
"See," Olivia called out, "A few domestic dispute calls were sent in twenty years ago. That'd make him...thirteen?"
"Olivia. Nick. Go talk to his parents and see if you can figure out more about this guy. Brian . Fin. Go talk to old work places. Munch. Talk to old friends or old high schools." Cragen commanded .
"His parents live in Brooklyn." Olivia informed as they stepped out into the cold air.
"Wow that's a drive from Manhattan. " Nick replied as they walked quickly towards her car.
"I can talk to the mom. You talk to the dad. It may be easier to talk to someone of the same gender about your kid." Olivia suggested as she buckled her seat belt and turned the car on.
"I don't know what I would do if a police man ever told me my kid kidnapped someone and beat someone almost to death." Nick frowned as Olivia headed towards Brooklyn.
"That's true. I don't know what I would say," Olivia frowned, thinking of Maci.
"Every job he ever had he got fired from." Brian looked down at the notes he took during their interview.
"He was apparently too aggressive in every single let go." Fin added, " A real hot headed person."
"The mom said her son was always the quiet one, but easy to anger," Olivia read off her notebook.
"Dad said that Austin was a shy one. He tried to teach him everything about what being a man was really like." Nick frowned.
"I remember those conversations with my parents, " Munch smiled, "Needless to say they gave up after a while."
"So always fired, shy,quick to anger, what else? Any favorite places to go? " Cragen wrote the facts on the white board.
"He liked revisiting his old high school, " Munch added, "But I didn't see Miranda or him there."
"Church." Olivia added. Cragen wrote everything down.
"He likes going to his old house." Nick contributed to the conversation.
"He has an apartment but won't tell anyone the address. " Fin frowned.
"I want you to search his name on the databases. Pull up any old bills or receipts he's collected over the past years." Cragen commanded. The detectives typed awa at their computers.
"He's married. Wedding certificate in the databases." Olivia frowned at her glowing computer screen.
"Was it Madlynn Hatcher?" Fin asked.
"No... Tracie Longings." Olivia looked at Fin and frowned, "Where did you get Madlynn Hatcher from?"
"Pennsylvania State Wedding License," He read off his screen, "Austin Penboard is really Mathew Mctolleran."
"He gives the name Austin Penboard on the New York license." Olivia read back.
"So this guy is married TWICE? In two different states?" Brian frowned, "How did he even get away with that?"
"Oh you better watch , Liv. Sounds like Romeo wants to marry someone from a different state." Nick teased. Olivia just rolled her eyes and shot him a look.
"His wife in Pennsylvania is a professional journalist. " Olivia informed.
"Fin. Olivia. I want you guys down in Pennsylvania to talk to Madlynn. Nick and Brian and Munch go talk to Trace. Squeeze any information about their husband out of them." Cragen commanded.
