They get Jane all wired and ready to go. Everyone is in their disguises. Jane is dressed like she normally would be for work, but maybe a little more makeup than she'd normally wear. Carisi is disguised too. The normal SVU crew has been seen on TV lately with the high profile cases they've handled. He's glad that Jane is here for another night. If they can get this guy, great. If not, they'll keep trying.
Jane walks into Beckett's on Stone Street. She takes a seat at the bar. Rollins and Finn are in a booth behind her. Tamin and Carisi are near the front door. Olivia is sitting at the bar too.
Jane orders a drink. They have it worked out with the bartender and manager to serve her only soda so that she doesn't consume any alcohol. They are just as anxious to get this guy as are the police.
About an hour into the operation a guy that kind of looks like the composite comes in. He starts at one end of the bar and gets a drink. He works his way down to Jane, close to an hour later.
"Hello. Is this seat taken?"
Jane looks at the guy, he does look like the composite. "Nope. It's all yours."
The guy sits down. He calls the bartender over and makes a big deal out of ordering a Johnny Walker Blue. He asks if Jane wants anything else. She orders another Vodka Seven, aka, just 7-Up with a lime wedge. He is talking all about how successful he is and how much money he makes a year. This has to be the guy. He's a total blowhard. She really hates guys like this. She knows that she has to play along to do the job.
He finally asks her what she does for a living. She tells him that she is an advisor for Merrill Lynch. She is based out of Boston but spends a lot of time in NY, since most of her investors live in the tri state area.
He continues to load her up on drinks, or so he thinks. Jane starts acting a little inebriated. She excuses herself and goes to the ladies room. Right after she heads that way, Rollins follows her. They give each other a few signals to each other.
When Jane heads back to the bar the guy has bought her another drink. Finn has observed the guy while Rollins and Jane were in the ladies room. The guy spiked Jane's drink with something. Before she takes a drink, Finn gets up and bumps into Jane and she spills the drink. The guy gets a little pissed at Finn, but Finn buys Jane a new drink. This one without drugs. Rollins grabs the discarded glass so that it and the remains can be tested for trace amounts of drugs.
"So, we've been talking a while and I've enjoyed your company. Would you like to go grab a bite to eat?"
"Sure, that sounds fine. What do you have in mind?"
"There is a little diner not far from here. We can walk, if that's ok."
"Sure, that sounds good."
As they walk out of the bar Carisi and Tamin are outside the bar. The start to follow Jane and the guy. They are walking towards the Pearl Diner, that must be the one this guy is talking about. They don't expect him to actually go there though. Carisi lets the team know. Olivia is at the diner, just in case.
Jane is wired but she is also wearing a gun in an ankle holster. Everyone is hearing what's going on. The entire walk this guy is talking about what a big deal he is. I guess he thinks this is a turn on. She wants to just deck him to shut him up.
About halfway to the diner he pushes Jane into an alley. He gets her off balance. "Dude, what was that all about? We're walking and talking and you just decide to shove me? What the hell?"
"Shut up bitch." He pushes her against a dumpster and pulls his fist back to hit her. Just before he motions forward Finn grabs his arm and wrenches it behind his back. He easily takes him to the ground. Rollins radios to Olivia to let her know that they got the guy.
Olivia and Carisi head to the squad to see how many of the other victims they can bring in for an ID tonight.
As Finn puts the guy in the car Jane delights in telling him what an ass he is and that all of that talk about how rich he is really is a turn off.
They get to the squad room and five of the seven women are in their way in. Carisi thanks Jane for helping.
"It's the least I could do for your guys after all you've done to help me."
Jane takes out her phone and calls Maura, as promised. It's late, but she will always keep her word to the beautiful doctor.
"This is Dr. Isles."
"Hey babe, it's me. The operation is done. We got the guy."
"Oh, Jane, please tell me you didn't get hurt."
"Not at all. The team was all over it. Very clean operation. I just wanted to let you know that I'm fine and my work here is done."
"Oh, Jane, I'm so glad that everything went well but more importantly, you're safe."
"Maur, I am. I'm perfectly fine. I'm going to see if Olivia needs anything else or if I can get some sleep. We have a drive tomorrow."
"Okay Jane. I'm so glad you called. Oh, and babe?"
"Ummm...yeah...it was just a natural reaction. I hope that's okay."
"Jane, it is, I loved it. I love you."
"Goodnight, Maur, I'll talk to you in the morning."
Jane goes to check in with the SVU team. Carisi and Olivia let her know that they don't need anything. Since they have everything on tape and the eyewitness of Finn and Rollins as well as the previous victims. Olivia let's her know that she can get some sleep since she has a drive ahead of her.
Olivia calls Lucy to let her know what Jane will be heading to her place.
Jane gets to Olivia's. Lucy is hanging out watching TV, Noah is asleep. Jane let's her know that she can take off and she'll be there if Noah needs anything. She hangs out with Jane for a bit and then heads home.
Jane knows that Olivia won't be home anytime soon. She gets online and books a rental car to drive back to Boston. She has another beer, checks on Noah and heads to bed. She sends Olivia a text to let her know that she sent Lucy home and she will get Noah ready for school if Olivia isn't home in time. Olivia really wishes she had a friend like Jane.
