Once Elliott was done the interviews, Jones asked him if he could see his sister, Elliott agreed. After they were in Interrogation 1 Elliott stood outside the door and said to Sabrina,
"What do you think?"
She said,
"I know Emil he has nothing to do with this, he is against hypnosis in some cases and this would be one of them. If you want to confirm it, he is on staff at Bellevue."
Elliott said,
"I know Skoda, he has helped me in the past and I agree with you. For now, my next move is to get the recorded calls down to TARU and have them decipher them. We need a voice match. But this still does not tell us how Babs was raped and why?"
Sabrina looked around and seeing only Cragen, John, Fin and Olivia left, along with the recruits she said,
"Get the tapes and let me listen to them I will decipher the code and get the trigger word."
He nodded as he watched his co workers head back to the squadroom along with the recruits. Sabrina looked at Elliott and asked,
"Since you had quite the weekend, with flying off buildings and all, I think we need to catch up. Is there anywhere we can talk privately?"
Elliott said,
"I'm hungry I only had a bagel for breakfast, can I buy you an early lunch?"
She nodded,
"You want to ask Detective Benson to come too."
He looked surprised,
"Really?"
Sabrina said,
"I assume she had the same breakfast you did and since she is your endgame and this case is almost closed, I think we all need to talk."
He nodded and they headed into the squadroom. Olivia was talking to John and Fin. Nick and Amanda had been paired off and were gone dealing with another case, they had taken their recruits with them. Elliott cleared his voice and said,
"Okay my recruits, take an early lunch, let's meet back here in a hour and continue with our game plan."
Elliott saw Officer Jones make his way into the squadroom and he said,
"Officer Jones, I need you to get the recorded messages to TARU, ASAP. So for now we are at a stand still til they are done with voice recognition."
Sabrina added,
"Since the guy on the tapes is still out there and we do not know who it is maybe a couple of your classmates want to go with you Officer Jones just to be on the safe side."
The class all looked at each other and then at Jones who looked at Elliott who said,
"I agree with Dr. Ross. Now that it is out there that you have the calls recorded I would rather have you safe than sorry."
He then looked at the class. John said sensing the hesitation and uncertainty,
"Since your follow officer does not live far only 10 mins return trip, I will order pizza for you all so you can eat when you get back. But you all have to go."
Elliott nodded at John and mouthed, Thank you. John nodded back as Chester said,
"Ok fellow recruits our first real alone assignment."
Elliott added,
"And just for an incentive, once you all get back here safe and sound and the tapes are in the hands of TARU, I will give you all an A on today's pop quiz."
They all did high fives and left.
Elliott then looked at Olivia, and asked,
"Sabrina and I are going for lunch and we want you to join us. Are you..."
He hadn't even finished his question when she got up from her desk grabbed her coat and said,
"Let's go."
Sabrina chuckled. Elliott said,
"I know the perfect place."
The three of them headed out to a nearby diner that served excellent food.
So Jones had told Sarah that he had recorded her calls, at first she was upset but then he explained and she went quiet no longer protesting. The plan was well thought out, no stone left unturned, although TARU was good, even they would have trouble distinguishing the voice on those tapes.
Well done Stabler, not sending Jones alone. An intercept could be tried but Stabler was also into hand to hand and if he trained the recruits there would be more questions than answers. The voice watched as they all entered Jones building and 2 minutes later they exited, heading right back to the squadroom. All chances were lost, the tapes would be heard...
Bennett said looking around the street,
"I feel like we are being watched."
Brown said,
"Me too."
Wentworth chimed in,
"No we aren't, you guys are just being paranoid."
Bennett and Brown are right, you are being watched and that is why they will be excellent officers and you Chester will not be. But with Bennett and Brown voicing their opinions it clarified the realization that all hopes of getting the tapes right now were gone. Maybe after closing, a break in at TARU might be an option.
