As the women in the daycare worked to lock down the building and alert the proper unit. Fin arrived back at the bullpen with lunch just as Elliot and Munch got back from their interview.
"Where's Liv?" Munch asked when he saw Fin.
"She went to check on the baby. She'll be back soon. But I brought lunch." Fin answered.
"Maybe I'll go down too." Elliot said when he noticed a young man standing in the doorway. He was carrying a bouquet of roses.
"Is there something I can help you with?" Elliot asked the boy.
"Uhh, yeah. Is there a Detective Benson here?" He asked studying the card.
"She's not here right now, but I'll sign for it." Elliot answered as he made his way across the bullpen to sign the delivery boy's clipboard. He accepted the bouquet of roses and brought them back to his desk.
He inspected it for a card and quickly found it hidden among the buds. It simply read:
"No hard Feelings."
'What the hell is this all about?' He wondered. Before he could further think about it his cell rang.
"Stabler." He said into the phone.
"She's gone." Olivia's voice cried over the cell.
"Wait, what? Who's gone?" Elliot asked concerned.
"Brianna. She's gone. The daycare gave to her to some guy who said he was her grandfather. She's gone Elliot. She's gone." Olivia was becoming more hysterical as she continued.
"Okay, hang on one second, I'll be right down." He said, thrusting the card into his pocket, and rushing to Cragen's door. He pushed it open without knocking.
Cragen was just hanging up his phone, and looked up to see a very distressed looking detective.
"Elliot…" He began.
"Someone took the baby." Elliot blurted out interrupting him.
"I know, I just got the call. We'll get her back." He informed Elliot.
"Who would do this? Who would take my baby?" Elliot asked shock still evident in his eyes.
Cragen could see he was in distress. He got out of his chair and walked over to Elliot, placing an understanding hand on his shoulder. "I don't know Elliot. But we're gonna do everything we can to get her home." He said gently.
Elliot pulled himself back together. He, Cragen, Munch, and Fin all hurried down the flights of stairs to the daycare.
There was already a bustle of people when the SVU got to the scene. Olivia was sitting in a corner, staring off into space.
"Go." Cragen simply said to Elliot, who rushed off to comfort his wife.
He made his way over to the older woman who was in charge of the daycare.
"Amy, what the hell happened?" He asked. He knew the woman from the times he had picked Brianna up himself.
"I'm not sure. Carrie, the new girl, was the one who signed Brianna out. I'm so sorry Don." She said.
"Which one is Carrie?" Cragen asked, scanning the women in the room.
"The one standing against the window, with the blonde hair and blue shirt." Amy answered, pointing out the younger woman Olivia had spoken with before.
Cragen made his way over to her. "Carrie?" He asked.
"Yes." Carrie answered, looking to him. She had tears I her eyes. Cragen could tell she was upset about what she had done.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Cragen asked.
"An older man came up to the desk and said that he was picking up Brianna Stabler. He said that he was her grandfather, Michael Benson." She began. "I told him that I needed to see a photo ID. He showed it to me, and I thought that was enough. So I got the baby and he signed her out." She finished.
"When was that?" Cragen asked, continuing his questioning.
"A little over an hour ago." She answered.
"If we set you up with a sketch artist, would you be able to make a sketch of the man?" Cragen asked.
"I, I think so." Carrie sniffed. "I'm really sorry." She added.
"I understand that you're sorry, but I reallydon't want to hear it." Cragen said quietly, like Olivia had before. "You may be sorry, but that doesn't change the fact that a three month old baby was taken from here. A three month old baby that may as well call me grandpa, because that's how much she means to me. Sorry can't get her back." He finished before turning to gather everyone working to locate Brianna together.
"Excuse me, people, I'm Captain Cragen of the Special Victims Unit. I'll be in charge of this investigation. Now, I need everyone who intends to help find Brianna Stabler to come over here for a quick briefing." He announced.
As all the officers huddled around Cragen he began speaking again. "Alright, now I want every room in this precinct checked. I want every person in this precinct checked, and I don't want it to be un locked until everyone is. I'm setting up a command station up stairs at the SVU's bullpen. I want everyone working out of that. Anyone gets any information; they bring it right up there." He finished.
As everyone went about their business Cragen found Elliot and Olivia.
"Liv, we're gonna get her back. I promise." He tried comforting her.
She just looked up him with a tear stained face. "I just want her back Don." She said, almost pleading.
"I know you do. And I know that this may be hard, but is there anyone you can think of who may have wanted to hurt you?" He asked.
Olivia just shook her head. "I've brought in more collars than I can count in the past few years. There are lots of people who don't particularly like me." She breathed.
"But does anyone stand out? Has anyone tried to contact you?" He pushed.
"No." Olivia shook her head. "No one."
It was then that Elliot remembered the note in his pocket. He pulled it out slowly.
"What's that?" Olivia asked.
"You, you got it today, in a bouquet of flowers." He stammered.
She took it and read it. It made her heart stop. As soon as she read the cryptic note she knew exactly who had her daughter.
"No. No." She pleaded as tears again began streaming down her face. "Why would he do this? Why? What did I do to him that was so bad? What the hell did I do?" She asked no one in particular.
"Olivia, it's okay. She'll be fine. We'll get her back." Elliot tried soothing.
"Who were they from?" Cragen asked.
"Richard White." Elliot answered for her.
