It was close to 8pm when Alexandra Cabot walked into the
interrogation room at Rikers Island to talk with Valentino and his Lawyer.
Valentino had a smug look on his face, and his lawyer's was even more smug.
"You can forget trying to intimidate me." Said Alex, "I'm not cutting any deal with you. You've killed far to many people for that. The People are going to request the death penalty."
"How many victims did that fed, Garcia, find?" Valentino.
"According to her files, you have a record of 19 victims, not to mention the attempted murder of a Federal Agent." Said Alex.
"Hmm." Said Valentino.
"Is there something you would like to add?" Alex asked of his Attorney.
"Well, apparently, there are 4 bodies that Valentino did not abandoned."
"Where are they?" Alex asked in an impatient tone.
"Take the needle off the table."
"Whether or not you tell me where those girls are, you will face the death penalty." Said Alex.
"Look, Alex, don't you think that the family's of those girls would want to know what's happened to them." Said Valentino's attorney.
"I am not making a deal with him. He's killed too many." Said Alex.
"So be it," said Valentino, "Looks like I'm taking the needle."
"Fine." Alex said as she got up and walked out of the room.
Celia was in recovery from detox. The doctors had placed her on a respirator to slow down her breathing, and given her a few drugs to counter act the injection she had been given. In the end, she didn't even need to be intubated. She was merely unconscious. Fin was waiting for clearance to go back and see her. He was half asleep in the waiting room when Munch came up to see him with a cup of coffee in hand.
"Any word from the doctor yet?" Munch asked.
"Yea, she's gonna be fine. He's getting me clearance to go see her." Said Fin, "Thanks for the coffee."
"No Problem." Said Munch as he took a seat next to him.
"How's Gina doing?" Fin asked.
"She's going to need a lot of therapy to get this out of her system." Said Munch.
"I hope this doesn't scare Celia away from law enforcement." Said Fin, "She's far to good at this shit to let some freak scare her out of it."
"One of these days, you're going to have to tell me how you met her." Laughed Munch.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Laughed Fin. At that point, Olivia and Elliot walked through the door to the waiting room.
"Hey." Smiled Benson, "How is she?"
"I haven't seen her yet, but the doctors said she's going to be alright." Said Fin.
"That's good." Said Stabler, "I hate to bear the bad news, but the Feds were behind us."
"I'm not telling them shit." Said Fin, "As far as I'm concerned, this is their fault."
"I'm not doubting that, but I think you should listen to what he has to say." Said Stabler.
"What was it that she was injected with?" Benson asked.
"Liquid PCP." Said Fin.
"I didn't know it could be PCP could be liquefied?" said Munch.
"Melts just as good an Heroin." Said Fin, "It's a lot more potent though."
"Good to know." Said Stabler. Just then Whittaker and Hawthorne walked through the doors to the waiting room. Fin looked up and glared at him.
"How is she?" Hawthorne asked.
"Fine." Said Fin with as little emotion as possible. Hawthorne walked towards Fin.
"Are you the fiancé Celia claimed to be coming back to?" Hawthorne asked.
"Maybe, why do you want to know?" said Fin.
"Is she serious about leaving the Bureau?" Hawthorne asked.
"You'll have to ask her." Said Fin.
"Perhaps I will. I'm sure I can persuade her to retract her letter." Said Whittaker trying to get a rise out of fin.
"You do that, fool." Said Fin as he walked out of the room.
"You guys have got some class." Said Munch as he walked out. Everyone else walked out the room, leaving the feds in the waiting room.
The night had passed. Celia was admitted into the hospital and Fin was allowed in her room. He had been watching through the night. Her hand never once left his embrace. Once again, the rays of the morning sun were peering through the windowpanes in the hospital room. Celia began to stir in her sleep when she slowly opened her eyes.
"Hey Baby." Fin smiled at her.
"Hi." She whispered, "Did we get him?"
"Yea, you got him." Said Fin as he kissed her hand.
"Good." She whispered back, "When do I get to go home?"
"I'll go find out." Said Fin, "Don't go anywhere." Celia smiled weakly at his comment. Fin walked out of her room and she tried to push herself up. She got herself sitting up in the bed, then slowly swung her legs over the edge of the bed and slowly pushed herself off. She grabbed hold of her IV pole and used it as her support. She slowly made her way to the bathroom. Shortly later, Fin came back into the room and saw that she was not in her bed. Just then bathroom door opened up and Celia slowly came walking out. Fin just looked at her funny.
"What?" she quietly spoke.
"You couldn't have waited for me the help you?" said Fin. Celia just shrugged her shoulders, "Let me help you." He said as he picked her up and laid her back down in the bed, "Don't get up again." Celia lightly chuckled.
"What did the doctor say?" asked Celia.
"Tomorrow or the day after pending on how well you do." Said Fin.
"Good."
"Oh, they found your purse at the scene." Said Fin as he held up her purse.
"Give me that." She said as Fin handed her the purse. She opened it up and pulled her wallet out. She checked the cash and for her credit cards, "Making sure he didn't rip me off."
A couple hours had passed since Celia had woke up. Stabler and Benson had stopped by to see how she was feeling and congratulated her on the case. As Fin and Celia carried on their conversation, Hawthorne and Whittaker knocked on the door of the room. Celia sighed as they walked into the room.
"Agent Garcia, how are you feeling?" asked Whittaker.
"I can feel my blood pressure rising." Replied Celia.
"Well, it's good to know you're feeling better." Said Whittaker.
"That's enough, Roy." Said Hawthorne, "We just came by to see how you were doing…"
"And?" said Celia.
"To see, if you were coming back to work soon." Said Whittaker.
"Do you still have that resignation letter I gave you?" asked Celia as she reached into her purse and grabbed a pen and her ID.
"Yea." Said Hawthorne as he reached into his coat pocket and pulled it out. He walked over and handed it to her. She took the paper from him and opened it up. She wrote the current date on it and initialized the date.
"Here you go." Smiled Celia, as she threw the paper and her ID at them, "I quit."
"You quit?"
"Yes, I quit." Said Celia.
"Who's going to hire you?" snapped Whittaker.
"You know what, I think it's time for you to leave." Said Fin standing up.
"No one is going to hire you with your record."
"I beg to differ." Said Cragen as he walked in the door.
"Oh what, you're going to hire her?" said Whittaker.
"I said it's time for you to go." Said Fin when he got in their face. Hawthorne and Whittaker looked at him and quietly left.
"Jeez, I've been awake for a couple hours, and they're already giving me shit." Laughed Celia.
"Sorry about that, Baby." Said Fin.
"Why did you beg to differ with them?" Celia asked of Cragen.
"Because the NYPD want you." Said Cragen.
"As a cop?"
"No, as a detective." Said Cragen as he handed her a pack of papers, "All you have to do is call them."
"I'm taking some time off to get settled back here." Said Celia, "I might not be able to start for a couple weeks to a month."
"You call them when you're ready. Oh, and Fin, take a couple days off. Take care of her."
"You got it." Said Fin.
"I'll see you kids later." Said Cragen as he walked out the door.
Four days later, Alex was in the interrogation room on Rikers Island. Valentino was sitting next to his attorney.
"Well, well, Miss Cabot, I'm glad you've come back."
"Here's the deal. Tell me where those girls are, I'll take the needle off the table, and instead give you life in solitary confinement."
"Not good enough." Said Valentino.
"Val, it's a good deal. You can either live or die. I suggest you take this deal." Said his Attorney.
"You're lucky I was even able to give you this deal." Said Alex, "Agent Garcia is fully recovered and out of the hospital."
"The good detective lives." Smirked Valentino.
"Yea, she told me to make you a deal to find out the location of those victims." Said Alex, "Now I have given you the only deal the people are willing to offer."
"Not good enough." Said Valentino, "I will not spend the rest of my life alone."
"You should have thought about that before you started your killing spree. Either spend your life alone or dead. When you make up your mind, call me." With that Alex walked out of the room.
Later that afternoon, Celia walked into the squad room of the Special Victims Unit with 2 bags of Chinese take out.
"Ok, I got lunch." Smiled Celia as she put the bags on Fin's desk. Fin stood up and kissed her cheek
"Great, I'm starving." Said Munch as he walked over to get his box.
"How are things treating you?" Benson asked.
"Good, I'm going to DC in a couple of days to get the rest of my stuff out of storage." Said Celia, "When does the trial start?"
"We're not sure yet." Said Stabler, "Alex is having a hard time dealing with him."
"Why?"
"He's not taking any sort of deal." Said Benson.
"Well that's great. Why didn't someone shoot him?" Celia laughed. Just then Alex walked into the squad room.
"Ah, Alex, we were just talking about you." Said Munch, but then noticed a somber look on her face.
"What's wrong?" asked Cragen who had come out of his office.
"Valentino Juarez's case will never see the light of day."
"What happened?" Celia frowned.
"He was found dead this morning. In his cell, bludgeoned to death."
"Ce La Vi." Smiled Celia, "Ce La Vi."
