"Are you ready?" Fin asked when Olivia opened the apartment door glaring at him.
"Do I look ready?" Olivia growled her voice full of sleep as she turned from him and made her way back into her apartment. "What time is it?"
"Six."
"Six" Olivia stated snapping her head up to glare at him "What the hell made Elliot tell you to pick me up at six?"
"He said to get you between six and six-thirty and to meet at the café down the street."
"I swear I will strangle that man when we make it to breakfast." Olivia mumbled as she moved toward her bathroom "Make yourself at home and give me ten."
"Six Elliot" Olivia growled sliding into the booth across from him but smiled when he quickly pushed a cup of coffee in front of her "Why the hell so early?"
"I figured that the safest way to talk would be for all of us to meet for breakfast." Elliot answered motioning for Morales and Munch who had just walked in the door.
"Here are all the backgrounds you requested" Munch said taking a seat and placing a huge pile of papers in front of her "Including the red head that you saw Ramirez having dinner with. Her name is Casey Novak and she just recently started with the ADA's office. She is currently a floater but she has put in a request for homicide when an opening occurs."
"Everyone comes out clean?" Olivia asked looking through the paperwork.
"They are as clean as the day Cragen ran them and chose them for the detail." Munch answered.
"No chance that Jess got to them?" Olivia asked desperate to find a connection on how she knew they were at the restaurant.
"If she did there is no trail that is for sure." Elliot answered "So that leads us back to Alex's place being bugged. This is a huge possibility, because to be honest with you Olivia we didn't sweep the place. Considering the security measures that are in place we didn't think she could access her."
"Come on El how many times have we posed as a gas man or delivery man to gain access without the tenant knowing. All she had to do is get a hold of a uniform and she's in."
"I know and believe me I am so sorry." Elliot said hanging his head.
"It's ok" Olivia whispered reaching across the table to place her hand on his "We have all made mistakes and I more than understand your line of thinking."
"So how are we going to go in without letting Jess know we have a line on her?" Fin asked
"Simple" Olivia answered with a smile "I'm going to go in with a few boxes as if I'm going back to pack the rest of my belongings. You guys will be with me to help me carry my belongings out."
"I have a transmitter that will be in one of those boxes that will jam any frequencies so she wouldn't be able to hear or see what is going on in the apartment" Morales piped into the conversation. "Once we are done sweeping the place we can turn it off because until then none of our phones or radios will work."
"Won't she suspect something?" Olivia asked not wanting to alarm the woman and have her go after Alex "How are we looking on guards for Alex today?"
"If it's the cheap versions that you buy on line which is more than likely it is then no. More often than not they tend to have some technical difficulties but they only last maybe ten minutes at most. So the second we enter we have to immediately sweep the apartment." Morales informed her.
"If there are devices how long will it take to discover them and disable them?" Olivia asked needing to know every step of the process.
"Once we locate the devices it will only take a matter of seconds to disable them. In most over the counter devices it is simply removing a battery for the micro cameras and as for the listening devices we could always stomp on them to break them."
"That's no good" Olivia informed him "We need it in tact to track her down if she doesn't fall for the bait."
"In that case it's a clip of a wire and they're done for." Morales answered.
"Good" Olivia said leaning back on the seat. It was almost seven thirty and she already felt like she had worked a full shift and was ready for a nap "El did you go back last night?"
"I did and I yelled at her like I would have if I wasn't let in on the game." Elliot said "But there's one thing I'm wondering though."
"What's that?"
"If you thought that Ramirez may be the mole or the place could have been bugged how did you two concoct this plan?"
"It's called whispering sweet nothings in her ear on the way back" Olivia said laughing "Or that was what it appeared to be to Ramirez."
"I'm sure that wasn't what you wanted to be the first thing you whispered in her ears." Elliot said wagging his eyebrows.
"Shut it El." Olivia growled without raising her head "Now I need to know what we are doing for extra protection for Alex while we are doing this."
"As for Alex" Elliot stated "Cragen is with her all day to day along with a few of my friends from ESU. They are some of my old Marine buddies and I called in a favor no questions asked."
"Good" Olivia exhaled. "How well do you know them and trust them Elliot?"
With my life" Elliot answered without having to give it a second thought.
"Do you think they would be willing to extend their detail?"
"For how long?"
"I'm thinking no more than a few days."
"Consider it done." Elliot said "I can fix it to where you have them for as long as you need."
"Thanks, I owe you man."
"Now have you thought about what's going to happen or how mad Jess is liable to become when we disable the devices and she discovers it." Fin pointed out.
"I'm hoping this will force her to make a move within the next few days" Olivia said looking Elliot in the eyes "We both know an abuser can't handle losing control and not being able to monitor Alex's every move will take control away. That makes them pissed and sloppy."
"I hope you know what you're doing." Elliot stated standing and leading the way out of the café.
"You're not the only man trust me you're not the only one." Olivia said sliding into the car silently praying that Jess would fall for this trap and what she was about to do wouldn't further jeopardize Alex's safety.
