A/N: I know it's been a while since I updated this story, and there is a lot going on in it, but I hope you're all keeping up! Olivia is still missing, and potentially pregnant, Masterson is in a holding cell, Dani and Elliot are trying to find Olivia, and Cragen and Warner are working a case, whilst Munch is hunting for evidence in Masterson's house as to where the little boy is being held, and Fin is in witness protection! Got all that? I hope so! I hope you enjoy this next chapter!

Cragen and Warner arrived at the crime scene, within a minute of getting out the car, they could both smell decomposition. They made their way inside the old building, swarms of flies buzzed around the rotting body of the teenager.

"Why are we here?" Cragen asked confused, seemingly this was a homicide case.

The officer on scene was a middle aged woman; she stepped forward, "Her mother reported her missing a week ago, she found her diary, turns out her daughter was sleeping with her math teacher. We called you as soon as we found the body. It might be his handy work."

"Thanks." Cragen said, he watched as Warner headed over to the hanging limbs.

"The body's been here at least a week. Decomp has well and truly set in."

"Can you tell if she was killed here?" he asked.

"There's blood pooling under the body parts, but it's unlikely her limbs were hung whilst she was being dismembered. There's not enough blood here." Warner told him, she looked at the body, "I suppose it's lucky for us that her torso hasn't been mutilated. Hopefully we should be able to get DNA."

"If there is any!" Cragen said.

"Captain." Officer Cardelle said flashing her blue eyes at him, "There's a blood pool over here, it's large; I'd say this is our primary crime scene."

Normally Cragen wouldn't take the word of a uniformed officer one hundred percent because he liked to form his own ideas and opinions, but officer Cardelle had worked for the police for almost twenty five years and in his opinion, very trust worthy.

"Show me." he said leaving Warner to deal with the body.

Cragen walked with officer Cardelle twenty feet into the dark warehouse; stopping only at the dark, almost black looking dried blood. "It looks like he hit the ground so hard, pieces of it chipped." Cardelle told him.

Cragen agreed, "We need lights in here, and CSU." he informed.

"CSU are on their way sir."

The boss sat back in her chair and smiled as new thoughts and brave waves crossed her mind. Hunter was all taken care of, now there was only one thing left to do. Tie up all the loose ends. Start from the beginning, the funny thing was, no one suspected her yet. She had had eight people killed and then killed five hired assassins, and no one had any idea it was her. It was the perfect plan, well, it was until someone got in her way. Someone being the no it all cop, Kayleigh Masterson.

"Harper, get in here!" she ordered.

"Boss, what can I do you for?"

"I want that cop killed. The one who's fucking the other cop. You know which one I mean. They're taking all the attention away from my case, and I'm not finished yet. Fix it."

"Yes boss."

"Wait!" she yelled, "Did you get my photos?"

Harper nodded, "Got 'em right here. How's the project going?"

"You'll see in two days!" she said flicking through the photos.

The woman got up from her seat and smiled as she added the photos to a large cork board. Photos spilled from the corners. All of her victim's and hired murderers were placed in order. From the lonely man Dale Waverson, to Lindsey Court. They were all there, waiting. Her muse.

Kate entered the one – six looking for Olivia, she had been on her own treasure hunt of information. Pulling a lot of strings, she had gotten a step closer to finding out who the author of the book was. Realising there was no one in, she sat down at the evidence board, she had read the book four times before anything jumped out at her.

"Liv, it's me, Kate. I need to talk to you. Please, call me back!" Kate hung up the phone, that was the third message she had sent Olivia and still no reply.

Kate took it upon herself to go over to Elliot's desk, she rummaged for a minute before finding what she wanted, his card. She dialled the number, and after the third ring, Elliot picked up.

"Stabler." he announced.

"Elliot, it's me Kate. I need to talk to Olivia about the book but I can't get hold of her..."

"Where are you?" he asked.

"I'm at the precinct. Why? What's going on?"

"Olivia's been taken. Masterson's taken her, the whole squad is working this case." There was a pause on the end of the phone. "Hey, Kate, you busy?"

Kate stopped shocked, she tried to find words but nothing but air escaped her lips. She heard Elliot talk again and knew now was not the time to freak out. "No, I've cut my workload down, this is the only case I'm working."

"Good, I'm going to pick you up. I need help finding Olivia, but I've got no idea where to look!"

"Okay." Kate said hanging up the phone. It took a minute to realise her feet were firmly planted on the floor. She couldn't move. The shock of Olivia, the strongest woman she knew taken hostage and left to die. She found the strength to pull it together before shakily walking out the one – six to meet Elliot out the front.

Ten minutes later, Elliot pulled up at the one – six with Dani in back. Kate got into the car, she turned in her seat and flashed a small smile to Dani.

The silence in the car caused tension, Kate felt uncomfortable and although she desperately wanted to ask what had happened, no words blessed her lips.

"That's Dani." Elliot said coldly, "Masterson's girlfriend."

Kate nodded, "Is she part of this?"

Elliot swung a sharp left, "Ask her."

Kate turned, she felt a boiling, burning sensation of anger that was all new to her. "Well?"

Dani looked at Kate, "I didn't hurt Olivia."

"Do you know where she is?"

"No." Dani mumbled softly, "But I'm here to help."

Elliot slammed on the breaks, "If it wasn't for you being drawn into that bitch's web of lies, none of this would have happened! You should have let Masterson get on with her sick twisted life, and stayed the hell out of it!" he snapped.

"Elliot, I..."

"I don't want to hear it!" Elliot started heading towards Masterson's house.

"Why are we going here?" Kate asked.

"There might be something at her house that tells us where Olivia is." Elliot said trying to find the calm in himself.

"I told you where she was Elliot!" Dani said.

The car went silent again. Elliot pulled up outside Masterson's house, he got out not bothered about Kate or Dani. He flung the door open, but to his surprise saw Munch standing in the living room.

"What are you doing here?" Elliot asked.

"Trying to get an idea of where Masterson might have hidden the kid. Why are you here?"

"Same reason, but Olivia."

Both the men searched the house, they tore it apart. Books, photo albums and magazines were thrown all over the place. Kate joined them, she looked around the apartment, Dani only a step behind her. "There used to be photos here! Where are they now?" Kate asked.

"I burnt them."

"What were they of?"

"Kay and Lorelle."

"Where? Where were they?" Kate asked with more desperation in her voice.

"Lilac woods. It was Lorelle's favourite place to visit when she came to New York."

Kate ran through to Elliot, "I know where Olivia is!"
